Gramps quickly got both our orders and had me wait I'm the jeep I was a bit curious why he changed but again shrugged it off. I hang out the window pouting when I see something in the Forrest edge. At first maybe just an animal passing through but..."what the fuck..no..em mountain air probably that weird adjusting to elevation thing.." I mumble quietly. I try to focus harder and I can definitely make out eyes with the strangest colors.. That can't be a person and why am I not scared of it? "Aye!! You!" I yell and point at it. I see a crooked smile with insane teeth resembling that of vampires from grandpas old books he brought from Japan. "Sick teeth bro!! Laters!" I yell again waving and I s**t you not I think it waved back.
"Who are you talking to?" Gramps ask curiously as he plops all the bags in my lap.
"Oof!" I gasp a smidge, "I dunno, I don't think it was real ya know they say you got to adjust to this mountain stuff Gramp's!" I smile and gulp down some milkshake.
"Yupp you are my grand kid through and through." He laughs starting the jeep and hopefully heading to our final House.
It takes awhile till we go over and old school stone bridge with these eerie trees all hanging almost intertwined over the path. Suddenly it opens up to a grand house near the edge of a waterfall drop?
"Is that??" I ask mouth dropped.
"Yupp. Its a f*****g waterfall. If I'm retiring, I'm retiring in style." Says gramps smiling pulling up to the front door. "Now let's eat and smoke, then you can go explore just for the first week be home before dark only because its so new kiko OK?" He ask a little worried and serious.
I cup his cheeks "yes grandpa hiro I promise!" I say giving him a kiss on the head. We first take in the food and gramps goodie bag. Then come out for the bit we had in the car since grampa hired movers for our house having them do most of the work of pack and unpacking here. Which I was totally all for cause I hate moving as much as math their my two mortal enemies although math is number one.
This house is different from the others though a lot more intricate is maybe the right word? I follow gramps back into the kitchen and lookout at the backyard half is the woods and the other slowly fades into a sandy area with water leading to the waterfall. "This is pretty perfect gramps gotta hand it to ya." I say sitting down at the table chomping down on food.
"Thought you might, its an old property I had when I stayed here many a moon ago." Said gramps as he grabs the goodie bag sitting down across from me. "So I got some edibles, a few cartridges, and a mix of flower to Start for now." He says as he spreads it out dividing it half for the both of us putting his half in one bag and mine in the other.
"Thanks gramps!! I promise to conserve but as I must the waterfall is calling with a fat joint!" I say standing up grabbing a prerolled cone joint heading outside towards the water. Its so serene and the waters crystal clear with some small fish going about. The sun is still out and its the end of summer so it still feels perfect outside! I find a giant rock at the waters edge and pop my shoes off dipping my feet in while I spark the joint leaning back on one arm.
I start to kick my feet and then lay back on the rock closing my eyes taking another puff. "Well ain't this grand.." I say letting out the smoke when I hear a twig crack not that far away. I peek an eye open and peer in the direction of the sound and see those eyes again from the dinner. "Aye is that you again?!" I yell as is it up trying to concentrate more. "Come here! You should at least say hi if your gonna creep dude!" I say giggling taking another drag then putting my converse back on. I start to walk near the edge getting closer to the set eyes when a tall lanky guy comes out. "Soo your the creep from the dinner? What happened to the fangs?" I ask pointing to his teeth.
"Well I'm not keen to this heat little one. But may I ask who are you?" Says the man.
"I'm Blithe Rose but you can call me kiko if you want but dude the fangs man what was up with that?" I ask again.
He looks down running a hand through his silvery gray hair. I start to see he's actually pretty fit and covered in tattoos up to his jawline. "My name is Luke Gumi I recently moved back here to help my brother find something that was taken little flower." He says starring into my eyes grinning.
"Coool, cool, why you on my property Luke?and creeping?" I say a bit frustrated.
"Again I apologize most humbly but you mark a striking resemblance to someone I know." He says taking the joint from my lips smoking it. "Joyful flowers shouldn't smoke another that's almost cannibal like kiko. Here text me, I have to go but I'll be back." Says Luke as he caresses my cheek turning me cherry red and making him smile even more. f**k I could just melt right here. He slips a small paper with what I assume to be his number into my front pocket before turning to leave. Showing off that grin again.
"f**k he's like cut from marble as a statue of a god, covered in tattoos. I'd worship." I shrug smiling. "Wait...fucker tooky joint!!! YOU TOOK MY s**t!!" I shout into the woods. Then dig the paper programming the number into my phone while walking back to the house.
