Chereads / Forever Tormented / Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine

Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine

I took my time making my way back to the art shop, I was greeted with a bear hug from Clark, Kit must of told her something. " do you want to talk about it honey?" Clark said during her suffocating hug. "not really." I say trying to keep my composer "ok well please know that I'm always here if you need to talk." Clark said while finally letting me go from her embrace. " me too, I'm always flouting around. just call my name and I'm there. no matter what." Kit says as he materializes by the cash register, he walks towards me and places an arm around my shoulder.

" is it something Silas did, I swear to god I'll beat his ass to the deepest parts of hell if he's the cause of your sadness." Clark says as she looks like she's ready to go head on into a battel of some sort. "no no, its not his fault, he didn't know." I slowly and hesitantly rap an arm around Kit's lower back, he seemed surprised at my action but his surprise was replaced by a smile as he glanced at me from the corner of his eye. " what do you mean it's not his fault, what did he not know. also, whatcha doing with your arm?" 

I smile shyly up at Kit who in turn looks down at me with something unrecognizable in his eyes, its not a bad look its just unknown to me as to what its is or what it means. "we were at first talking about what I'd be expected to do on the job, than we kind of moved into more personal matters, he asked why I had come here and I don't know I guess it just brought up some painful memories. that's all I swear, it wasn't his fault." Clarks battel face seems to relax a bit after hearing that." oh and Kit has his arm around my shoulders so in turn I have mine around his lower back, looks kind of weird when you can't see Kit doesn't it?" Clark's face lights up and she makes a weird noise that's between a squeak and some sort of excited noise, I'm not sure why or why it was so loud for that matter.

" JESUS, Clark why must you make such a loud noise." both me and Kit say at the same time, Kit also tightened his hold on my shoulders. " sorry sorry, I'm just- uh its just so cute. I wish to hell I could see Kit it would make it better than getting all googaly eyed over you and your floating arm but knowing that its around Kit is so adorable. Christ I just realized I don't even know what Kit looks like, damn." I laugh at the though of trying to see this from her point of view, it defiantly looks weird. " hey if you want Clark I could possibly draw Kit for you, I didn't get out much when I was younger so I taught myself how to draw." Clark yet again made that now annoying sounds, and stated to vigorously shake her head yes. " YES please that would be great, oh also we could probably close up and start heading over to that clothing store I was talking about, it closes soon." I nod in agreement and we start to lock up the shop before heading out to Clark's car.

at the store both Clark and Kit pick out a bunch of out fits for me to go try on, out of the bunch I choose a select few to buy and than we make our way back to the house where I offered to try my best to cook even know I haven't cooked in my entire life. Kit offered to put my new clothes away in my room, I gladly agreed and started looking for what to attempt to cook. I ended up just making a chicken Cesar salad as it was easy, I didn't do to bad with the chicken surprisingly. Clark said that my chicken was good and that in our free time she'll teach me to bake and cook things.

after dinner Kit helped me with the dishes than we all decided to hunker down on to the couch in the massive sitting room. Clark was settled on a single chair on the opposite side on the coffee table and me and Kit were seated on the couch sitting quite close, Kit had his arm placed on the back of the couch behind my neck. "alright so I told you that id tell you about our weird little town so let me think as to where to start." me and Kit briefly looked at each other sharing a small smile, when I turned my head back towards Clark to find her deep in thought. a few seconds passed and I felt Kit move his arm to back around my shoulders, he then leaned in and lightly pressed a kiss to the side of my head. my face reddened I looked up at his face and whispered " what was that for?" with a touch of playfulness he replied" I like to feel the touch of your hair on my lips, for years I haven't felt anyone. until you and as much as it fascinates me as to why I just cant get over being able to touch and be touched." I smiled and leaned the side of my body more into his, I could feel his smile as he looked at me even if I couldn't see his face.

" OH yes um so for starters, our town has always been used as kind of a safe haven for the supernatural and paranormal. the hand full of humans here have always been here throw generation, we used to have more humans but some of them moved away probably bored of our little town. the number of different supernatural is unknown as people here are quite touchy on the matter but their all nice people as long as you don't bring up the conversation of what race of soup they are." I was so intrigued by what she was telling me but I burst out laughing at her uses of the word soup to shorten supernatural. " sorry please continue." and after giving her next words a thought she continues." there's not much else other than the fact that his town has been here for over a millennia, some of the people here are probably older than god. also there's the fact that about a year ago we witness an incline in unexplainable deaths and strange a currents, also round the time the ghost horde started to role in. they were small at first but over time they just grew bigger. from what I can tell they usually stay close to the forest. during my time helping Silas we tried our best to figure out what was attracting them but time and time again we turned up empty-handed."

the thought of the unknown has always excited me but hearing the fact that they never figured out what was causing all those things is to be honest a terrifying thought.
