Shade Me With Pitch black

In a dark and dusty train alley one cold evening near a busy artifacts market that smelt of dust and wet donkey sat Axil on one of the train tracks with a dirty coloured doll and a rusty piece of metal.

Doodling on the doll's body.

"I knew she'd be late"

he attests in a disappointed tone.

"But either ways, I still have you"

his gaze bores into the damaged beady eyes of the doll.

"What do you say we do?"

he listens cautiously for the doll's reply.

"We can't leave here, what if she finally comes?"

He pulls his hoodie over his head.

"You know how angry she can be when things don't go her way"

a sigh leaves his mouth as he continues scratching on the doll.

Not quite long after, a masculine figure appears at the entrance of the alley and charges towards Axil, still he didn't raise his eyes from his 'beautiful' doll, as he would occasionally compliment it.

"I'm sorry I'm a little late"

Berry says in an awkwardly deep voice for a female as she tucks her oversize shirt up to sit beside Axil.

"You're always late"

He raises his eyes from his doll and turns to Berry.

"No no no. Today wasn't my fault"

She protests as if nothing had happened, she would have made it on time.

Axil sighs drily waiting to hear her excuse this time.

"I ran into Ma-

"Did you tell him where you were going?"

Great concern fills his voice as he interrupts her.

"You could have simply let me finish"

She suggests, gritting her teeth at him, annoyance crossing her features.

"There was no need telling him where I was going. He didn't seem to care less"

She breaths and shovs her phone into her pocket.

"He just wanted me to give him some directions to the raspberry bush path. So I took care of it"

She shrugs.

"Ughh! can you just stop talking about Matt"

He urges, playfully smacking his doll on Berry's shoulder.

"Ouch! Don't hit me here"

She winces, pulling her long sleeves up to reveal amplified muscles and a deep cut on her shoulder.

"Ewwwww"

He repulses as he took a glance from the injury and nearly pukes on his doll.

"That's why I invited you over to the chill zone"

She gestures 'chill' in the air, not a bit bothered about the penetrating injury on her.

"What happened to your shoulder?"

Axil manages to squeeze out of him, not to annoy Berry.

"Yeah yeah it was Nana's gang"

She shrugs nonchalantly, peering into the injury to find out why Axil was so irritated at first sight but couldn't seem to decode it.

"Nana? Who's Nana?"

Axil quizzes.

"Quiet being silly now, Nana and her gang of dweebs attacked me yesterday on my way home from school"

She mentions looking outside when she thought she heard footsteps.

"Along that busy raspberry path and you know love raspberries so I went over to pluck some. I was still picking them out when I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Nana"

She narrates indifferently.

"But you'll never guess who I saw with her"

"Who?"

"Dacia!"

She exclaims with suprise and Axil gasps mockingly.
