EoT-Kurzgeschichten von Deamond ================================================================================ Kapitel 2: Ary, the lil'devil... -------------------------------- Ary, the lil devil… “Are you sure, he won’t mind it?” The young demoness shook her head in disbelieve. “I know your puppy-eyes work really well on Callo, but THAT!? I doubt he will let you get away with it…” She patted Ary on her back and smiled weakly in sympathy. “Oh come on, Yuna! It’s not THAT bad…” Ary tried to effort a smile but failed. She knew it was really hard and Callo sure would not be satisfied with it at all… “Okay, Ary. Wish you good luck! See you tomorrow in school!” Yuna hugged her friend and ran towards her house in the outer area of Wehrheim. “Hopefully…” Ary sighed and headed home as well. xxx “Hey Ary! How was school today? Sorry that I didn’t manage to pick you up from school today…” Callo smiled and threw a new dagger towards Ary. “A little present from my latest job. Want to have it?” Callo awaited a cheerful ‘YES OF COURSE!! THANK YOU!!!’ from his favorite protégé, but the cheerful thanks never came…”Uhm… you alright?” Callo jumped up from his seat rushing towards Ary, checking her for any kinds of injuries, illnesses or whatever might bother the young girl. “I’m alright, Callo. Thanks for the sweet present.” She tried to smile but again failed. “Ary, I KNOW something must be wrong! Usually you hop around and glomp me to death if I get you a new weapon! So what is it?!” The tan elf demanded Ary, putting a hand on her shoulder, seeing deep into her emerald green eyes. Ary looked aside and thought for a few seconds before answering. “Can you promise me something, Callo?” She looked at him with her giant eyes, sparkling in the soft light of the room. For a 16-year old she knew how to use puppy-eyes pretty well… “Of course. As long as you tell me what’s wrong with you!” He looked at her worried, prepared for anything… nearly anything… “Okay, I will tell you what’s wrong but you must promise me NOT to interrupt me until I’m done with talking, okay?” Ary smiled, grabbing Callo’s strong hands, swinging them around as kids used to do with each other. Callo blushed a little, not sure what to think of this whole situation, but in the end nodded in agreement. “Okay, Ary, now what is it?” “Okay, where to start best… I met this guy yesterday while you were gone for that new job! He looks so great and he is sooo nice to me. I really really like him! He has those wonderful blue eyes and his brown hair… and that BODY!! He-“ “Ary!?” Callo tried to yell more in shock than mad or angry, he nearly lost his voice. “Callo!! You promised!!!” She pressed the tall man’s hands and continued. “He asked me if I want to date with him yesterday and I agreed… We met each other yesterday night… it was so wonderful…” Callo grew paler and paler as Ary continued. His usual brown skin seemed to lose all its color and Callo could feel how the thoughts started to spin around in his head. “Well, anyway… so we made… this one thing… you know?” Ary nodded her head aside, blushing. “And today he asked me if I want to marry him! And I said yes!! I like him soooo much! He wants me to move in his house in Nihil! You know? That desert-town you once told me of! And I really can’t wait to get there! I want to see it so badly! Who knows? Maybe we will get children soon! It’s so wonderful!!” Ary grinned brightly. Callo was beaten… he couldn’t speak a word anymore… he felt as if his feet were going to crack under his weight. The room around them moved in circles around him… “A…Ary…” He tried to croak more than speaking…He shook his head, trying to regain his thoughts, confidence and anything that just got lost in these 2 minutes… “You CAN’T be serious!!! That’s ridiculous!!!! I won’t let you—“ Suddenly Ary placed her fingers on Callo’s lips, silencing him. “Was just a joke, Callo. I don’t have a boyfriend! I just got a F in that math-exam today. But you see? It could be much worse!” And with an evil grin Ary left for her room, leaving a shocked and startled desert-elf behind. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
