Crumpling up the piece of paper in his hand out of anger, Shattered muttered under his breath, slamming his hand against the trash can as he got rid of the note he was planning to give you. Like a couple of the other skeletons, Shattered had problems with his temper. He was an extremely jealous monster, and just seeing you with a person of the opposite gender filled him with rage. He didn’t understand why you hadn’t noticed him yet. Sure, his original mission was to deal with you, but he’d quickly changed his mind after watching you for a while. You’d grown to be part of his mind, a piece that he wasn’t willing to lose.

Damn it. Who is that? Who are they even with? I’m not going to let them take my chance without a fight.

Standing up abruptly, Shattered made his way over to the pair, smoothing out the goop on his face with a forced smile, and puffing his chest out in an attempt to regain authority. Leaning down, he tapped you on the shoulder, his eye glinting with a look of resentment, but also a hint of curiosity.

Excuse me, I hate to bother you, but would you mind letting me use your phone? I’ve misplaced mine, and I need to call a friend of mine to pick me up. You see, my car got a flat tire, unless you think you could help me with that?
