🔮? (venomous-heartbreaker)
He closes his eyes and concentrates, and he knows even before he looks that she’s there. Warily, he looks up, still gasping a little at the sight of her even though he was expecting it. But - even though she looks scary, she isn’t. She’s his friend, he can just tell, like a fact you know in a dream.
She’d scared him so much earlier at school, when she’d just appeared in front of him like that, and nobody else had understood what was bothering him. They kept saying there was nothing there, and then laughing at him but - she was real. He wasn’t crazy.
She’s so big, she almost fills his whole bedroom. He looks up at her in wonder now, at her sharp teeth and her empty golden eyes, the dark hood she’s wearing and her shiny armour.
He doesn’t know where she came from, or why, but he knows this - he’s not alone anymore.
