That Damn Song
It was that dream again, the dark abandoned town sat before you. Then the music box starts to play and you can't help but sing along, the slow haunting tune carries on.
"Come together come together~ Come everyone~ Searching for your souls before the night is done~ Don't listen to the whispers that lead you astray~ Come together come together~ Come everyone~ Death is coming so grab your gun~ They hear you breathing under the shadow~ When they come when they come~ You'll only scream~ So come together come together~ Come everyone~ Let us survive until morning comes~~"
By now you were searching the houses as the song came to It's dreadful end. You stop, looking to the door before. Rushing to a closet and hiding within. Fear crawled up and down your back. You could hear their breathing, rumbling, clicking as they drifted into the room on the other side of the door. You curl up, closing your eyes and trembling. The door creaks open and you tense as you feel a wispy hand come over your shoulder.
"Dammit, would you wake up?" A familiar voice jolts you awake. You blink and look over at the obviously annoyed werewolf.
"Kid... I'm sorry, did I wake you up again?" You murmur relaxing.
"Yeah, you were singing again. That damn nightmare is annoying." He yawns, taking wolf form and crawling into bed with you. "It's still daylight, go back to sleep." He rumbles closing his amber eyes. You stroke his fur for a bit before steadily drifting off again.
"Hm? Kid? Did you wander into ___'s room again?" The reaper asks as you follow the werewolf into the kitchen.
"Don't be dumb Killer, I had to shut her up again last day, I was too tired to go back to the room." Kid grumbles snatching up the bacon on the stove. The Satyr cooking stomps his hoof.
"Don't just take it! That was for ___!" The blond snaps.
"Take it easy Sanji, he can have my bacon." You yawn.
"You look tired still, didn't you sleep?" A quiet voice asks, making you look over at the concerned banshee.
"Don't worry about it." You refrain from yawning again.
"Good evening everyone." The blond vampire yawns coming in and hugging you. "I heard you singing earlier, are you feeling okay?" He questions in concern. The others pause.
"I'm fine Sabo, I hope I didn't wake you too much." You offer a smile.
"Don't worry, I rather enjoy your singing, I just wish it wasn't that song every time." He tips your chin before covering your ears, making Kid and Sanji do the same. "Nami... Your food...."
"Wha.... LUFFY!!!" She shrieks in rage at the ghost as he gobbles up her food and swiftly retreats through a wall. "IM GOING TO KILL YOU A SECOND TIME!" She pursues him angrily. Sabo uncovers your ears.
"Thanks... Hm? Oh! Good morning Ace! I'll get your breakfast!" You smile over Sabo's shoulder at the zombie. Ace hums in response as you hurry to get a plate ready for him. He slowly sits down on a stool facing you as you come over with the plate. "Looks like Sanji cooked up some brain sausage for you, here you go." You smile offering him a link. He eats it slowly, looking into your eyes with his brown and heavily bloodshot orbs.
"Sleep.... Good?" He murmurs.
"Yep, I sure did!" You lie easily, wiping his chin. "You look handsome tonight, what did you do all day?" You smile. He smiles faintly and looks away.
"Paint...." He answers.
"Oh? Can I see?" You ask softly. He shakes his head slowly and you can see him blush the slightest.
".... No...." He breathes.
"Ace, you're so cute, won't you show me?" You press, making his smile and blush grow.
"... No.... Secret...." He murmurs as you offer him another bite.
"I'm so curious now... Such a secretive guy." You tease lightly.
"Yep...." He chuckles softly.
"Hurry up you two, we have to leave for school soon." Sabo rumbles with a smile.
"Alright, is the master of the house up yet?" You ask as you continue to feed Ace.
"I don't think so." Kid sighs.
"Shall I wake him?" Nami whispers suddenly back in the kitchen.
"Yep." Kid smirks.
"What a big bad wolf..." You comment. Kid snaps his teeth at you playfully at that. Ace growls at him, touching your side. "It's okay Ace, he's playing... Your food is all gone so Sabo will help you get changed now okay?" You hum, wiping his face clean. He blinks at you and tilts his head slowly.
"Kiss.....?" He requests quietly. You smile and kiss his cheek.
"Of course." You chuckle as he smiles and slowly touches his cheek.
"SHAAAANKS!" The banshee shrieks above.
"AAAAHHHH!!.... DAMMIT NAMI!" The master of the house yells in surprise while everyone in the house snickers.
"Come on Ace, we must hurry," Sabo breathes helping Ace up.
"Kay..... See... You... ___," Ace smiles at as he is lead out by his brother. You smile and swiftly eat your food before the Master of the house joins the crowd I the kitchen.
"Alright, which one of you brats sent in the banshee?" The vampire yawns, fangs glinting.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." You cover for Kid easily.
"You're very troublesome my little human... I forgive you!" He gushes hugging you and cuddling his cheek to yours.
"Get away old man, and she's not your human." Kid throws a garlic clove at the vampires face. Shanks face scrunches up and he swiftly covers his face.
"Gross! Why would you do that?!" He whines while you and Kid fist bump.
"So troublesome... Lets get going." Killer touches the center of your back.
"Right, we're off to school then!." You chime getting up and leading the way out.
"Have fun my little darling!!!" Shanks gushes after you.
When you were little you had been separated from your family during a family outing. You had roamed aimlessly in a forest for days before Shanks found you. He took you in and searched for your family. But alas, they were untraceable. So Shanks brought you to his monster orphanage where you grew up with the monsters. It was nice since most humans still feared and avoided the monsters. Therefore there weren't many humans at Thriller High.
Shanks had given you the option to go to a human school but, you didn't want to go, especially since most of the monster orphans were made orphans because of humans and hunters. The prejudice, the unfair treatment. It made you sick whenever you think about it.
"Oh, Ace, you look so handsome. But your jacket is messed up, I'll fix it," You smile adjusting the zombie's jacket when he and Sabo came out of their room. Ace smiles sweetly at you.
"I just fixed that... He probably messed it up just for you." Sabo huffs, nudging the zombie.
"You're too cute Ace.. Oh! Shit, did anyone wake up Zoro?" You ask. There was a pause and a collective 'Oops' that sent you running out for the garden. There stood the statue with his swords drawn. "Zoro! Wake up." You call up to him on his pedestal. No response. You frown and pick out a potato before throwing it at his head.
"Tsk!" He growls before looking at you. "Stop throwing potatoes at me to wake me up!"
"Then wake up the first time I call up to you!" You retort. He jumps down from his pedestal, marble joints sliding against each other as he does. The living statue straightens, giving you a frown while you smile. "Come on let's get going to school."
"Yeah yeah..."
