South Attic -- Monday Morning
Apr. 17th, 2006 01:07 pmPhoebe had been sitting on the couch staring incomprehensibly at her Sociology notes and being somewhat jumpy at every sound, when there was a knock on the door. She was confused for a moment as she wasn't expecting anyone. She looked to where Valkyrie and Seraphim had suddenly appeared at either side of her. She looked at them and then she looked at the door. Swallowing hard, she got up and crossed to the door. When she opened it, she let out a yelp of surprise and stumbled back slightly.
There was a skeleton standing there, wearing a scarf and holding an unlit cigarette. She stepped back and he came into the attic. He gestured to the cigarette and started making flicking motions with his other hand. Phoebe was fighting panic. He didn't seem dangerous or seem like he wanted to harm her, but still. Skeleton in her room.
"S-s-moking is bad for skeletons, you know," she stammered out, looking wildly around the room. She wasn't sure where Cole was, but she thought he might have been in class or else she would have started yelling for him. "I-it can turn your lovely white bones all yellow or catch you and fire and burn them to nothing but black ash."
The skeleton stopped and put a bony hand under his chin like he was thinking about that.
Looking around, she spied the two frilly pink hats that she and Cole had worn at the tea party a few weeks ago. She went to grab one and the skeleton followed her. She turned back, yelping again in surprise when she saw how close he was to her and how far in the attic he had come.
Normally, she wouldn't be scared of a skeleton since he hadn't done anything to make her frightened. However, considering how she had spent her Thursday and Friday, she was still a bit skittish and easily frightened. She placed the bonnet on the skeleton's head and tied the frilly bow beneath its chin.
It was amazing how creepy a skull can look when it's preening.
He once again looked at her and flicked his hand.
"I-I don't smoke," she said apologetically.
The skeleton shrugged and then reached out and hugged her. Phoebe bit back a cry and hugged the skeleton back. She assumed he was thanking her for the hat. He let her go and with a wave walked back out into the hall. Once she was sure he wasn't coming back, Phoebe shut the door and bolted it, before retreating to the couch again.
