Sugary Sweet 🍭

Knox’s fangs slips away, eyes turning back to dark brown as he places his shades back on. He shrugs at her words, unaffected. ‘ I’m not nice. ‘ A chuckle slips past his pale lips and he rolls his shoulders back. ‘ Someone scare me? A rarity but you’re welcome to try your hand at it. Human children should stick to their own kind for company, I’m not dealing with stumbling drooling blood bags. ‘

Had she been back in her game she would have glitched in surprise. However her glitch had been lost since she was now in the human world instead. She quickly straightened up to make herself look a little more confident and less like a meek little girl. ( Which granted she was. ) “ It wouldn’t hurt you to be little nicer to people. Nobody likes someone who goes around scaring little helpless children. “

Ryan gave the other a confused look, brows coming together. “Sugar Rush? Yeah! I used to play that back in the arcade at home all the time! Though, they would always kick me out because I wasn’t supposed to be in there… Wait, did you say you’re from a video game? So, the people inside there are really real? I knew it!! How you guys never talk back? It’s kinda rude.”

Pepper sighed before nodding. It was like this guy hadn’t been listening at all. “ Yes That’s exactly what I said. ” she told him. She then nodded at his question. “ Yup! And we’re not aloud to talk to anyone outside our game. It’s against the rules. “ she explained.

“ An arcade, huh ?? Are you originally from a video game or something ? That would explain why you look so adorable. ” Bry let out a soft chuckle as he tilted his head to the side in amusement. “ I think I saw one ‘round the corner, but I’m not so sure if this will work… but it’s worth a try I suppose. ”

Her eyes brightened up and she nodded. “ I am! Have you ever heard of the game Sugar Rush Before? “ Pepper blushed at the compliment. “ Well aren’t you just sweeter then Caramel. “  Her mouth fell open and she clasped her hands together tightly. “ Oh that’s perfect! I’m sure my mama's worried sick by now. “

Tobias redirected the dog that had started wandering off distracted by a bush. Not noticing at first, he turned his head shaking it and gently pulled him back. His mind focused on other areas of this strange place he hadn’t checked out yet, hoping to find a way out for his cousin and sister. He backed up realizing he almost ran into someone he shook his head rapidly. “It’s okay.” He signed quickly pulling out his notebook and looping the leash around his wrist so he could write. “I wasn’t paying attention.” He wrote

Drake had been heading to the park in order to work on an experiment, toting his messenger bag filled with what he needed. It satisfied his need to continue discovering new things, plus it kept his mind off of how much he missed Corona and his family. Upon spotting Pepper, the 16 year old gave a soft smile as he answered, “It’s fine. Are you alright?”

Pepper blinked up at the boy and bit down on her lip. “ Well.. not exactly. I’m so confused I’ve never been outside my game before. “ she confessed. “ You wouldn’t happen to know if there’s an arcade around here would you?  “

After the few weeks since his arrival, Bryant still felt as if he didn’t quite fit in around here. It was nothing quite like home and that made him feel all the more anxious about being stuck in a place like this. So it wasn’t uncommon for the boy to have his head in the clouds, daydreaming of simpler days. His train of thought was interrupted though as he felt someone collide with him. His eyes flickered down to meet the girl standing before him, a smile forming on his lips. “ It’s all good, cupcake. It was partially my fault, which I don’t say often. “ He chuckled. “ Where are you headed in such a hurry? “

The girl glanced at him before letting out a sigh relief that he didn’t seem at all upset.  Pepper quickly giggled at the nickname. “ Well I was trying to find an arcade. I just thought if I found one maybe I would be able to find a way back home if I did. “ she explained. 

Ryan felt someone bump into him again – an occurrence that seemed to happen often now that he was bigger. He turned to her and offered a large smile, shaking his head. “Hey there, don’t worry about it! I get in the way a lot, so I’m kind of used to it. I’m Ryan, by the way. You look new! Where are you from?”

Peppers eye’s flickered up to the other in front of her. Her lashes fluttered before filling with relief that he didn’t seem upset. “ Oh good. “ she breathed out. She then seemed perplexed by the question. “ New? I suppose I am. “ she replied slowly, before nodding. “ Oh I’m from Sugar Rush! It’s a video game, have you heard of it? “ she questioned.
