Dear Static

Dear...you know what?! No! I'm not calling you a diary. Nope. I've had diaries in the past and each one has failed miserably. I always forget to write in them and then end up throwing them away. Although this year might be too exciting to forget, I'm not jinxing it by calling you a diary. Nope. Not happening. So instead, I'll call you...Static? Yeah. Static's cool, right? Okay, let's start again...
Dear Static:
Hello. My name is Blizzard, though my friends call me Blizzy or Blitzer. I know the last one is a bit...strange. But, hey, Circus made it up, and she's not about to let it go. I suppose it may or may not have something to do with the way I barrelled into class at the beginning of last year. Yeah, that was embarrassing. Anyway, tomorrow is the high school's Halloween dance. Like my costume? I'm supposed to be a statue. Kinda boring, but it's all I got. Circus is going as an airplane pilot. Ha! Like anyone would actually trust Circus with a billion dollar machine.
I know I've mentioned Circus a couple of times. She's my best friend. Her and I have been together since 5th grade.

Pet's name: Circus
She's really cool. Some people might think we're complete opposites, but we're really not. Sure, I may be a bit more quiet and mature while she's loud and funny, but we both share the same tendency to trip over our own paws. That's what keeps us together. In fact, it's also how we met. I was walking down the halls, late to Math, when I turned the corner and smashed into her. We both yelped and fell to the floor, our supplies spilling out of our bags. We tried to get up multiple times, but each time our clumsiness brought us down again. Finally, we just lay there and laughed until our ribs hurt. It was an interesting way to meet each other, and we've hung out ever since.
Speaking of hanging out, I kind of want--no, scratch that, really want to be asked to the Halloween dance by Blu.
Image
Pet's name: Blu
He's going as a Roman Centurion. Isn't he amazing? He's so funny and really sweet. I always get kind of nervous around him though...maybe he thinks I'm too weird. Is that why? Is that why he hasn't asked me to the dance?! Is that why, Static?!
-Ahem- well...anyway. Back on track.
So lately I've been...noticing things. I know I'm not crazy; I actually am very level-headed according to my parents. And the things I've seen have kind of spooked me.
It started a couple of days ago. I was walking home from Circus' house. You see, our neighborhood borders a really creepy forest. I've never set paw in there, nor do I have any intention of doing so. But I was walking past it and just so happened to glance into the shadows. I saw three dogs staring at me. One was dark-colored with orange markings and a mouth that looked like it should've belonged on a pumpkin. It was the tallest. The second one, and the shortest by just a little, was white and black with red eyes an a really wide grin. And the third was gray and orange and--you're not gonna believe this--it had wings. Like, actual bat wings.
I only looked at them for a second, blinking in surpise. When I opened my eyes...they were gone.
Ever since then, I've felt like I'm being watched. Every once in a while I'll look behind my shoulder and see a shadow. Then it disappears. It's really creepy. I told Circus about it and she said it was probably just some trick-or-treaters playing a prank. I have my doubts, but I can't help but hope she's right.
Welp, that's all for now. I don't know if I'll be able to write tomorrow, because tomorrow's the dance and I'll have lots to do. So, uh...g'bye!

Dear Static:
So yesterday was...pretty darn amazing. Me and Circus walked to the dance together. I was a bit nervous, since I'm not too good with crowds. We went into the school gym and were blown away by how beautiful it was!
Wow! The Dance Committe really outdid themselves this year. - me
I know! The colors and lights are so pretty! - Circus
We gazed around at the decorations and even tried some of the cupcakes, which were sooo tasty. Then I heard someone call my name.
Blizzard? Is that you? - ???
I turned around and nearly tripped over my own paws. Blu was padding toward me, his centurion armor looking shiny like real metal.
Oh! H-Hey, Blu! - me
It's great to see you. I like your costume. - Blu
Oh, uh...thanks! Yours is pretty cool too. - me
Circus looked from me to Blu and back again. Then she straightened up and fixed her scarf.
Welp, I'm off to eat more sweets. See ya later, Blitzer! - Circus
She left. I felt my ears grow hot. She knew about my crush on Blu, and was certainly being obvous about it!
Blitzer? Is that a nickname? - Blu
I laughed nervously.
Heh, yeah. She called me that when I ran into class one day because I was late and...well, she never let it go. - me
He chuckled.
Sounds like a story worth telling. Maybe we could get some punch and talk about it? - Blu
I swear, right then and there, my brain imploded with happiness. I said yes in the calmest way possible (which, might I add, was no small feat, considering how I wanted to jump up and down like a giddy schoolgirl...er...schoolwolf?) and we made our way over to the punch bowl. I told Blu the story of how I got my nickname. He laughed several times during the tale.
I never took you to be the clumsy type. - Blu
Yeah, well...I try to keep it on the down low. - me
Blu shrugged.
I think you're cute either way. - Blu
I nearly choked on my drink. He called me cute. HE CALLED ME CUTE! Ha! See, Static? I'm smoother than I thought! Anyway, back on track.
Y-You think I'm cute!? - me
Well, of course I do. I'd have to be blind not to. - Blu
I laughed and sat down, knowing that I would pass out at any moment.
No one's ever called me cute before... - me
He grinned and touched my ear with his muzzle.
They should do it more often, if you ask me. - Blu
My pelt was on fire. I'm pretty sure I must've had flames coming out of my ears. Blu said he had to go do something and that he'd be right back. I nodded and stayed where I was.
Excuse me. Could you help me? - ???
I jumped when I heard the voice right next to my ear. It made me leap up and spin around, then crash into a wall a foot away. Standing in front of me was a wolf with a skull mask and and really cool wings. His costume was really cool.
Image
He looked at me with amusement in his eyes.
Sorry I scared you. - ???
I let out a nervous cough.
You didn't scare me. You just...surprised me. Can I help you? - me
Yes. I'm looking for the bathroom. It's a bit hard to see with all these strobe lights, and I'm new here. Can you help? - ???
I smiled politely.
Yeah, sure! Right this way. - me
We weaved through the crowd, me bumping into multiple wolves. (Darn clumsiness)
I'm Blizzard, by the way. What's your name? - me
Whisper. - ???
That's cool. So, you're new here? - me
Yeah. Moved in last week. - Whisper
We made it to the bathrooms and Whisper went right in. I turned around to walk away, only to bump into someone.
Blitzer! How'd it go? Did you and Blu work things out? What did you guys talk about? Don't just stand there. Answer me! - Circus
Whoa, Circus, calm down! I can't answer you if you keep talking. - me
She shut her mouth with a snap and stared at me intensely. I sighed, knowing she wouldn't let up until I told her. I related everything that happened. A dreamy look probably came into my eyes, but who cares?
And then he said that people should call me cute more often. - me
Oh, wow! That is so cheesy! - Circus
I punched her in the shoulder playfully.
He was sweet! - me
She shrugged.
Whatever. Hey, who's that? - Circus
I turned around to where she was looking and saw Whisper standing a few feet away. He was talking to another wolf.
Huh? Oh, that's Whisper. He's new here. I helped him find the bathroom. - me
His costume looks amazing! - Circus
I nodded. Then me and Circus went over to the cupcake table and ate some more sweets. Circus was telling me a joke when she suddenly broke off and stared at something behind me. There was fright in her eyes.
Circus? What's wrong? - me
She raised a paw and pointed behind me. I turned around, wondering what could make her so scared. Then I yelped. Standing directly behind me and staring at me were the three wolves I saw a couple of days ago. One of them, the black one with the orange markings, had a scythe.
Image
His shorted companion had his cheshire grin.
Image
And the third had his bat wings, folded neatly on his back.
Image
I gulped. So I hadn't been imagining things. The winged wolf stepped forward.
Blizzard, we need you to come with us. - ???
I shook my head. No way was I going with three strange wolves. Especially if one of them had a scythe! The black one growled.
Now. - ???
The winged wolf shot a warning glance at his friend and turned to me with a friendly expression.
Look, I know this all must seem weird to you, but you have to trust us. We're not going to hurt you, we just need your help. - ???
I looked over at Circus. She was staring at the wolves with a cautious gaze. I'd never seen her so serious. She was right next to me. In fact, I think she was looking a bit protective.
Can my friend come? - me
The black one growled impatiently, but the winged wolf nodded.
Of course. - ???
Circus stood without a word, as did I. We followed the wolves outside in the cold night air. We all sat down, and the winged would began to speak.
I guess we should all start off with introductions. I'm Jett.- ???
The grinning one chuckled.
I'm Joker. - ???
And I'm Carver. - ???
That was the black one.
Nice to meet you. Now, mind telling me how you know who I am? And why you're following me? - me
They exchanged worried glances.
We haven't been following you. We haven't even seen you until you first saw us. - Jett
Then...who has been following me? - me
The black one grunted.
Depends. What do you see when you sense you're being followed? - Carver
Just a shadow. And not a very descriptive one. More like a blob. Why? - me
Again, the three exchanged glances. I flattened my ears in frustration. What were they thinking. Beside me, Circus shifted.
I thought they were just some punks playing a prank... - Circus
I shook my head.
Apparently not. - me
Go home, Blizzard. We'll talk in the morning. - Jett
Wait, what? Why can't we talk now? - me
Because they can hear us, runt. Why else? - Carver
Who's they? I wanted to ask, but Jett and his pals were already walking off. I didn't make a move to go after them. Circus and I looked at each other and decided it was best to listen to their advice. After all, Carver didn't seem to think highly of "they". So we went home, and Circus decided to stay the night. We both wondered what tomorrow would hold.
And that's what happened. Now it's 1:00 AM now, and I'm bushed. I'll write in you later, Static. For now, goodbye.


@gh0st, is this okay? I figured they would think Whisper's wings would be part of his costume. And as for his mask...well, I didn't know if it was a mask or his face so...yeah. Hope it's alright!

@Static
Oh my gosh yes!! ;v; Its great. The entry was great anyways, but you practically nailed Whisper. The wings are real, though he can hide them if needed. He wears the mask because his actual face looks like kinda odd, kinda like how joker has he has a weird grin.
( Image )
I don't have a way to make a duplicate Whisper, so in other entries I guess unless their shadows other wolves can't see them, unless he allows them to.
