Dance Macabre (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[Mr.Aznable]

He froze a bit. "H-Hey.. yeah.." he said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"A-Ah...! O-Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry! I-I didn't even realize...!" She panicked, "A-Are you ok? You aren't upset, are you?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"N-No, you're fine, you're fine..!" He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I really need to stop doing that.." She said, hovering her hand over his cheek in an affectionate gesture, "You're sure you're ok...?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He smiled and held her hand gently. "I'm sure.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

His fingers sank through her hand and she gave a soft smile, "Ok...if it ever makes you uncomfortable or anything, try and snap me out of it...I'd feel bad if you had to ask a witch for help.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I promise, I will.. but, you're fine.." he said, smiling.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

After a couple months of cleaning and repairing, the house was in a good enough state to have company. And he loved having Layla's companionship, but other interaction would have been nice.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

So, he invited his friends over for a small dinner. Nothing fancy, but it felt nice.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"So, this is the place, huh?" Tony asked, looking around with a smile. Arthur gave a slow approving nod.
"Looks good, man."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He smiled. "Thanks, guys. Yeah, honestly the place needed some work, but it was worth it."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"And you got it for nothing, huh? Lucky." Tony laughed.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Like I said, it needed work." He laughed.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Well, what kinda grub ya got, I'm hungry!" Arthur said as he moved to the kitchen. Layla was watching from the attic, having a good vantage in a shadowed spot to see who these people were inside their home.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Koda was moving around the kitchen, tossing a few different things together.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She remembered him mentioning he would have friends over, she didn't mind him having company. She just didn't like hiding, but it would scare them if she appeared. She frowned softly, wishing she could be with Koda like she used to when she was alive with her husband.

She jerked backwards, eyes wide in fear. There it was again, that terrifying voice in the back of her head. She didn't like that it was getting louder, saying things she didn't understand.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Koda had his friends sit back and relax while he cooked in the other room.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Koda..." Layla whispered, sticking out of the wall beside him, "I don't mean to be rude, sweetie, I'm glad you're with your friends...but they won't be here long, will they...?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He smiled. "Just for dinner.. why?" He asked quietly.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She shook her head, "I don't like hiding, is all...I'll want to bond with you and that will scare them away.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I'm sorry, Layla, I promise they won't be forever.." he said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded, "Ok...I hope you have fun, sweetie.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He smiled and kissed her cheek before getting back to cooking

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She blushed and sunk back into the wall and up to the attic, wondering how to bide her time.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

How could she bide her time? Memories were vaguely unpleasant, and dangerous with what she ended up doing
