Char Resurrected, Char Steel [christmas read aloud txt] 📗

as a human.

" So Char." Ryan said breaking me out of my thoughts. " Are you going anywhere tonight?"

" No why?"

" We're having a party to celebrate the first day of school and your welcome to come."

I looked around at all their expectant faces. " Uh actually I'm not sure. I mean it's like been a long day so...."

"What!" Stella said. " You can't not come. This is like the party where everyone who is in this school is coming to no matter what."

I gulped and looked around slowly. " Um I guess I can come then."

Stella smiled and gushed. " You won't regret coming Char it's gonna be the best party in New York."

I smiled and spent the rest of lunch in silence as I heard Stella and all the other girls chat and laugh away about what they would be wearing. Unfortunately I would be wearing exactly what I had on to their disappointment.

Finally lunch was over and I got to go back to my boring classes. At the end of the day I got out and went to the front where Nicole car was idling. I slid in and smiled at her as she smiled back as she turned up the music and drove home. On the way there I asked her to pull into a store and I bought some things before heading out and into the car for the rest of the way home.

I arrived and ordered pizza and grabbed a soda out of the fridge before heading into my room since Nicole had to go to something called 'yoga'. I sat and watched Netflix in my room until the doorbell dinged.

" I'm coming!" I yelled as the doorbell rang again. I scrambled to the door but my shirt got stuck. I glared and tugged on my shirt that was stuck on the doorjamb. It dinged again so I ripped off the stuck part and fell as I tumbled down the stairs. All two flights and landed in front of the door so I reached up and opened it.

Mister Zorenn was standing there with a smile on his face and a pizza box waiting to greet me as he looked above me. Then he looked down and gasped as he bent down and helped me up.

" Poor child are you alright?"

I grimaced none the worse for the wear. " Yeah I'm good just a ruined shirt."

" Oh sorry. I came by to see you and found the pizza guy dinging away at that infernal doorbell so I took over."

" Oh yeah come on in sorry about that I was up in my room and I was watching TV." I said as I closed the door behind him and grabbed the pizza from him setting it up on the table.

" Ahh." He said and sat down.

I sliced the pizza and got out two plates. " You want some?" I said gesturing to the pizza.

" Yeah sure." He said rubbing his hands together in delight.

I placed the pizza on the plates and handed him one as a little voice spoke. " Who's that?"

I looked down and saw Pomo looking at Zorenn. " Oh this is the king of dwarfs, Zorenn. Zorenn this is Pomo." I explained as Zorenn looked at Pomo in surprise.

" Ahh nice to meet you." Zorenn said and shook Pomo's paw.

Pomo nodded likewise.

" Can I come up there?" He said.

I looked down. " Of course." I picked him up and placed him on the table as I let him eat the rest of my pizza.

I yawned and looked at the clock as my chair almost fell over from me standing up so fast. " Shit I almost forgot about the party."

Pomo and Zorenn both looked up and asked. " What party?"

" Never mind. I gotta go."

I left them standing there and rushed upstairs before pulling off my brown torn shirt and putting on a black one. I snagged my knives that I had forgotten this morning and put them in my boots before rushing downstairs and out the door without even a goodbye.

I leaned into a fast walk before falling into a full blown run towards Ryan's house.  He had described it to me earlier at lunch. I came upon the three story cream colored house and slowed to a walk until I came upon the bouncer.

" Name?" He said in a bored tone as he looked at the list.

" Char Coolgate." I said smiling as I watched him look down the list.

He opened the gate and bowed. " Please enter."

I bowed much to his surprise and entered to come upon a wild scene. Multi colored lights were dancing across the green yard and pool. People were chattering and making out as the music boomed and rattled the windows. Guys and girls were hollering and stripping before jumping into the pool. People stood around with beer and tequila as they laughed and joked.

I smiled nervously and moved into the house were it was even more chaotic. Girls dancing and drinking with the music louder than ever before. Guys leading girls away into rooms as they made out. People taking heroin and coke while drinking beer. People playing beer pong and managing to drink more beer than playing.

I moved upstairs and spotted Stella the same time she spotted me.

" Hey girl! You got here that's awesome!" She managed to yell over the music obviously drunk before she was pulled away by a guy to a room as she made out with him.

I waved after her and weaved my way through the crowd until I reached Ryan as he talked to a girl in a corner. " Hey Ryan." I whispered seductively in his ear before turning and walking away swinging my hips.

I didn't need to turn back to see him staring lustily after me and licking his lips before following me into a dark room. I went inside and sat down on his bed as I waited for him. He came inside and locked the door before walking to me as he laid down and pulled me to him. Big mistake.

I flipped him over and sank my cat teeth into his shoulder as he cried out in pain. He tried to push me back but I grabbed his hands and feet and tied them to the bed with the rope I had bought on the way home.

He stared at me with wide eyes. " What are you doing?"

I smiled at him and got off him as I stood there hands on my hips. " Isn't it obvious succubus?"

His confusion was wiped of his face as anger replaced it. " I should have known. She said you were going to be easy as a girly girl. But all I saw was a rebellious girl."

I narrowed my eyes at him. " Who is she?"

" Like I would ever tell you." He said smirking.

I stared at him for a minute but when he didn't speak I went over to my bag and ruffled through it. I got out a candle and a lighter before heading over to him and sitting on the bed. I smiled before lighting the candle wick and and slowly tilting it over his arm.

" Look here succubus. I am going to get information from you even if I have to slice your chest open and tear out your ribs." I told him as the hot wax dripped onto his arm.

He fidgeted as the wax made burn spots on his arm. " You don't scare me Char. I've heard all about you from her."

I stared at him before I blew out the candle and put it and the lighter back in my bag. I closed it and slung it across my back before heading to the door.

I could hear the panic in his voice as he spoke. " Wait! Where are you going? Aren't you going to torture me?"

I turned around and smirked. " You already told me who she is. Good luck getting out of those knots I tied tonight demon."

I walked out the door leaving the confused silence behind as I exited into the hallway. I walked down the stairs and passed through the front door and into the night nodding at the bouncer who looked at me with a smile. I finally arrived back home and walked in only to be greeted by my family.

" Surprise!" Sarah said as she pulled me into a hug.

My eyebrows knitted into confusion. " What surprise?"

I looked around the room and noticed that nothing was different.

Sarah only smiled and gave me a key. " The whole family decided that since you have been in a coma that we would buy you a ride that way you won't have to ride with your crazy sister."

" Hey! I'm not crazy!" Nicole protested.

I smiled at her whining. " What is it?"

" Go look in the garage." She said smiling mysteriously.

I thanked them and told them that I would look at it in the morning since I was tired but actually I was wide awake. I waited until they were in bed before creeping out of bed and downstairs. I made it to the last step before it squeaked. I froze holding my breath hoping that none heard that. When the crickets continued chirping I crept across the kitchen and into the laundry room. I saw the mops haphazardly crossing each other like a mine trap. I smiled and cracked my knuckles. This was going to be a piece of cake.

I tiptoed until I met the first obstacle a dirty old broom. I took a one foot leap and ended on the other side. Next course a still wet and dirty mop most likely from Nicole's bad cleaning skills. I put my foot up and over just as the last course came in sight. I hurrahed in my mind.

" What are you doing out of bed?"

I startled and slipped on the wet mop and went down like Goliath. The whole system set off a barrage of sounds as I fell on every mop and broom that I had just avoided. I laid there catching my breath and waited for the flashing lights and men in uniforms to cuff me but nothing happened.

I looked upstairs upside down and prayed to the heavens that my family were heavy sleepers or knew I was down here. Instead I was met with a overly cute face as it stared down at me.

I groaned. "Pomo what are you doing down here?"

" I was going to ask you the same thing." He said as he stepped over the big mess and made it to the other side without making a noise.

I glared before heaving myself up and going into super ninja mode. " I was going to soundlessly go into the garage and check out my ride when some little tiny punk scared the bejesus out of me and made me fail my mission."

" Hey it's not my fault you didn't check it out back when normal people are up."

I snickered and crawled on the wall past the security system before dropping in front of the garage door. " Well I'm not a normal person am I?"

He shook his head and sighed. " Nope. How are you gonna get that door open?"

I smirked as I pulled out my tool set and opened it. " Tada."

He rolled his eyes before pushing it open and going inside. " Showoff."

I followed him and flipped on the light. As my eyes adjust I looked to the side and gaped. They had bought me a motorcycle! I was practically dancing with joy as I looked it over. It was the best fastest black bike on the market.

Pomo gave it a critical eye. " I can tell you want it but are you sure it's safe?"

" Well we'll find out tomorrow won't we?"

" YOU will. I'm not going on this thing with you. Besides have you even gotten your license?"

I stood back and admired it
