We made it.

We made it to town, thank the fucking gods, yes. We panted, damn, hell that was a run. I could hear Mikey coughing behind me. 'Shoot, she's still here.' I got even more red, how is it possible for me to get this red. Damn even when she doesn't like me, I still find myself getting shy or something around her. "What the hell was that Penelope?!" Looks like she got her breath back, her tone was harsh and frightened. "S-S-S-Sorry." I needed to catch my breath, a couple moments later I said, "Look, I don't know what that, thing, was. All I know is that it..." Should I tell her that I heard it talk to me? Oh gods help me. "It what Penelope?!" She called me Penelope twice and this time her tone was angrier. Damn either she is really pissed at me for scaring her or she just is pissing in her pants. I hugged her and she stood frozen, we just stood there in the center of Harlin. There in the Pavilion of the park, a couple miles away from the Forest and another couple blocks away from school, it was far from Grandma Teddy's place though. "Penelope, let's go to my apartment." I can't argue with her. Mikey deserves an explanation of all this shit, or at least some info of what's goin on.

"Ok." We both let go and walked to her apartment, it wasn't far from the pavilion. It was a huge brick building, it truly looked out of place with the rest of Harlin, everything was rustic and a dark burgundy. We went inside and I could smell baked cookies through the halls of the building, hot and chocolatey flying through the air. We finally made it to the highest floor, the forth floor, her door still was old and an greasy brown. Her doorknob still was jammed up and the lock still didn't work. "Shit!" Mikey struggled to open the door and cursed under her breath. When we came inside it was… different?
