One of my first little short stories |
I cringe as a stranger bumps into me as they board the airbus, I shift around uncomfortably trying to get comfortable as the air bus closes it's doors and slowly lifts off the ground. I close my eyes as I sigh, thinking about what to do with my night counting that Ixiash insisted for me to take a night to myself giving me money to go to the new club in town not listening to my hesitant protests on the idea. I twirl the tassles of my dress around my finger my stomach feeling queasy as the air bus gets closer to my stop. I pull the cord signaling my stop, I am going to at least try to have a good time i think to myself. I stand up grabbing my hand bag and straightening out my dress as I hear the engines whine as the bus descends onto the platform. I take a deep breath as the doors slide open and I step out, the night air's breeze feeling cool against my fur a pleasant change to the buses stuffy atmosphere. Slowly making my way towards the end of the platform I once again hesitate looking out at the club hearing music and laughter in the distance. I shrug off the feeling as I make my way down the path leading towards the entrance. As I make my way up to the doors I stop hearing commotion from inside. I take a few steps back as I hear something crash to the floor within when suddenly the doors explode open, two burly looking German Shepards throw a fox out onto the ground. "Stay out, maybe you will think twice when you pick a fight" shouts one of the Shepards. I look down at the fox laying at my feet which is struggling to get to his feet, as he stand he turns around and gives the guards the finger and rudely shoves you out of the way. You stumble back as you glare at him as he limps towards the platform you just arrived from. "Don't mind him miss he's been starting stuff with everyone tonight" says one of the Shepards as he holds the door open for you and steps to the side. I give him a smile and nod as I walk through the door into the club. I gasp at the number of people, some of them dancing, others at the bar, And more watching some kind of live performance. I stand there in awe and a bit of fear as i wonder what I am going to do with the rest of my night. "I can't just stand here stupidly" I mutter to myself as look around at the choices. "I might as well get a drink, maybe if I get lucky I can ride the rest of my night out without being bothered" I think as I make my way to the bar, passing politely through people that all seem to be enjoying themselves talking and laughing. By the time i get to the counter I feel out of place like I wasn't meant to be here, which all in all I shouldn't I don't like crowds and people I huff to myself as I sit. I put my head on my hands as I sit waiting, watching different people go around there night. "Excuse me mam can I get you something" I look up to the see the bartender looking down at me with a smirk. "umm a apple margarita if you have them " I respond nervously. He nods and smiles as he writes it down on his pad walking away. I put my head back down watching and observing, letting my mind wander. I feel some one nudge on my arm I sit up glaring just to find the waiter standing with my drink "sorry I didn't mean to..... thanks for the drink" I stammer embarrassed as I dig through my hand bag looking for money. I pull out enough for the bill and tip. I hand it to him as i take the drink nervously. He nods and walks off to take other people's orders. I sip at my drink as I listen to the music in the background when I suddenly feel something tugging at my ear, I put my drink down and look up seeing shiki grinning down at me. I roll my eyes as I pick up my drink not wanting to bother with my spirit guide at the moment. She Flys down towards my face grinning "what's wrong Moka cat got your tounge" she snickers As she hovers in front of my face. My hand clenches around the glass as I start to get irritated " I don't want to deal with your shit right now shiki" I say out loud as I bring my glass down on the counter a bit to hard. The bartender shoots me a weird look as i slam my glass on the counter. I give him a weird smile and wave he shrugs and turns around back to the couple he was serving. I turn back to to shiki scowling "what's your problem" I hiss at her. "I'm just here to liven up your daft night at the bar counter" she giggles floating around my head. I slam back the rest of my drink scowling at the little brown and purple nuisance orbiting around me. "Aww cheer up Moka no need to be a bitch shiki" she giggles as she settles down on my shoulder. I roll my eyes and wave over the bartender. "How can I help you..." "can I get another drink please" I interrupt him "I think I'm going to need it" I sigh. "Yes right away mam" he says flicking his ears. I look back at shiki with a frown "why can't you let me enjoy myself in peace" I snap "well if you can call this fun sitting around being shrude, didn't Ixiash tell you to enjoy yourself?" Shiki responds hotly. I stick my tounge out at her and turn back to the approaching bartender smilling "thank you just put it on my bill" I say smilling. He shoots me a confused look before he walks away. "See shiki I am having a great time now you can leave now" I say sarcastically as I swipe at my shoulder trying to dislodge the spirit guide. She dissappears into a puff of purple smoke reappearing sniffing at the apple margarita. I sigh putting my head into my arms "whyyyyy Shiki every time" "Because" Shiki laughs "what's so funny " I growl as I peek out at her. "Looks like you attracted some attention Moka" Shiki says as she vanishes. Wait what! I sit up and look around, I see the fennec bar keeper staring at me as he approaches "are you ok mam I can call a cab if you want" he says unsure. "I would take the offer Moka" I hear shiki whisper in my ear. I nod "Yes please" I say pulling the rest of the money out of my purse to pay my bill. The bar keeper turns away and walks to the back room, I sigh and look at shiki who is resting back on my shoulder "was this your plan all along" I whisper She just giggles and dissappears as the bar keeper comes back out "you should wait out front for the cab" he says as he takes my glass. I nod and gather my stuff as I start towards the entrance. "What a peculiar woman" the bar keeper thinks to himself as he rushes over to the next person waiting. |
