She instantly put on a worry tone but kept a straight face then said "yeah , hes doing better."
"That's good" Arther said with not much emotion
They waited and rami picked out something. She came to the cash register check out the item. The item was a red leatherback notebook with three spikes rings forming a hollow circle.
Rami handed the notebook to Trysa. She looked at it and skimmed through the notebook.
Trysa said in a calculated tone "looks pretty old, I would say, $178"
"Without tax"
Rami had a shocked expression
She looked at Arther, got on her knees, she clasped her hand together, and raise her hands above her head.
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase" rami said
Arther pulled out a little book. It had a four small prices inside. Arther grabbed it before he left the house
"7.99"
"7.99"
"7.99"
"7.99"
"This is the last time" Arther with a tone of frustrated debt collector
He wrote it down, closed the book and put it away. Rami went to Trysa and checked out the book.
Rami said her thanks and went to the door then said her goodbyes. Arther did the same but just before he left he asked.
"Really, how is he" Arther asked
"I guess he's doing good but there's something dead about him" Trysa said
"Medication?" Arther said
"Yes"
"Ok, give him my condolences"
"I will"
He walked out the store. He saw Rami in the car drawing on the newly bought strange notebook and Arther thought 'I told him not to do it, dumbass, still I help, why?'
Arther walked to the car, got in and drove back home. While driving Arther asked about what she was drawing.
"I'm drawing- ... i kinda don't know "
"Draw a character, something abstract, or just emotions. From someone who's only ok at drawing, one thing is about drawing or just art in general is being creative."
Rami starts drawing still struggling to think of something.
Arther said "start small, like base it off things you know, so if you hate something, let's say Zoe, just draw something that matches that feeling."
"Just don't over due it"
"Ok" Rami said
The rest of the car ride was silent it took about 10 minutes to get home.
They got out the car and opened the brown wooden door. Arther went up stairs, rami went to the side and sat on the couch.
Zoe was lying on the bed, naked with blanket over her. Scrolling through social media for a few minutes. Her phone. She put her phone down and said with a depressed sigh, then she got up and went to the bathroom across from her bed.
Arther was in sitting on a bed, texting a friend.
"You got everything?"
"Yeah"
"I'll come over tomorrow"
Arther dropped the phone on the bed went into the bathroom, locked the door. Arther went to a vent above the toilet, he took the vent frame out and then a box (very cliche Ik)
Arther searched through the box, in the box was about $3000 farsland cash.
There was $2,7, 10,55, and then 100. The 1's where thick copper coins. The face of the 2 was a man with white long hair and was old, 7 had golden short hair and looked in his 40s. 10 looks like he's in his 60s red long hair with a strange blue hue to it. 55 looked like she was in her late thirties with brown long hair. 100 looks like he's in he's 50s with brown hair and stands of white hair.
The man on the ones where the same on the 100s. The change was was same as the cash.
The box was mostly fun with 10s and 55s. The box has four stack varying in sizes. Arther grabbed the one left end it wasn't the biggest, an average size among the four.
Arther took half of the money from that stack, Arther already organized the stacks, the stack he was holding was the 100s. Arther went through a drawer near the middle of the bathroom, he grabbed a rubber band, rolled the money, and snapped it around the money roll.
He put the money in his pocket and put everything back up. He ripped some toilet paper, threw it in toilet, flushed the toilet, washed his hands, and left the bathroom.
'Just have to make sure' Arther was thought
Rami was still drawing down stairs. Arther goes down stairs and when to get fresh dry clothes.
Arther comes back and takes a shower. He goes back to the bedroom, sits on the ground, and scrolls through his phone to pass the time.
9:40
Zoe, Rami, Arther are all asleep.
Arther being the only one sleeping on the ground.
Next day, 6:59.
Arther wakes up his sister, tells her to get ready.
7:30
They get in Arther's car and drive to the school.
Zoe gets up, showers, Get dressed and goes to work.
The school starts at 7:40. They stop at the of the school. Many people where dropping off their kids.
The school went from middle to high school them being cut into separate sections of the school. The middle school part had a pretty small front yard. The front of the school was mostly blue.
Rami got out of the car and walked to the school glass doors. She walked in and went to the cafeteria. She sat at a table her friends where at.
Arther went to his friends house. Arther knock on the door and the friend greeted him in.
The friend looked was a white redhead with short hair, green eyes, sharp nose and a sharp chin
He was 5'10 with black pants on, wife beater and was bare foot.
When Arther went in the house he saw a sizeable living room, in the middle of the living room was a small brown couch and to the sides was a sofa with purple and black stripes.
Across from the couch was a tv and between was a table.
They went through a small hallway they lead into a small kitchen with a round table and two chairs. Arther sits down and the friend go grabs the "items".
The friend comes back sits down the items on the table. The items were two EpiPens, a jar of deep black liquid, two flowers with many different petals, two oddly extremely white chrysalis and 48 white feathers.
"Do I really have to sallow a bug, Mikal"
"Deal with it"
"First grab a pot and pour the liquid in" he said as he said the instructions while walking through them.
Mikal heated up the pot and poured in the black liquid
"Second a flower"
"Third a chrysalis"
The starting shinning with specs of white stars
"Then 24 feathers"
Mikal and Arther looked at the boiling black mysterious liquid. Mikal put of a safety glove and poured it into one of two metal containers.
Arther repeated the process.
"Before we drink take off your pants and grab one of the EpiPens" Mikal said
"Once we are both ready stab it into you thigh then quickly drink it, the reason why is because the concoction going to slow down our hearts, so we are using EpiPens to somewhat counteract that"
"This is the dumbest and riskiest shit I've ever done" Arther said
"Same here, if we don't make it see you on the other side brotha"
They took it there pants, grabbed the EpiPens, and stabbed it into their thighs. They waited a 2 seconds for the EpiPens to kick in, then they drunk it.
Arther's pov stated to turn slow and nauseous, same for Mikal, they both swung around the kitchen trying to stabilize themselves.
Mikal was lost his senses while Arther fell into in extreme maddness.
After 10 minutes of torture both sides fainted.
Mikal and Arther where in a dead dream like state. Mikal saw darkness so dark that it's was like if he was sent to oblivion. Arther felt like he saw death, life, oblivion, and creation in a slowed but accelerated process.
