Aktorius and the Ants

by Laine the Grey

Aktorius, like I said, was subdued, so naturally, I was surprised when he started talking to me. Of course, I thought him odd at first, but no more than the average person. Except for his teeth.

I don’t mean to imply that his teeth were… scary. They weren’t. They were beautiful. Not pointy.

I must clear this up. By me pointing out his teeth, many have inferred that Aktorius was a vampire. You could never be more wrong.

When I did finally see him in the sunlight, I realized Aktorius was an angel.

“Ak, come out with us,” beckoned the other girls. I grimaced. There’s nothing worse than whiny girls like these.
“I don’t wanna,” he mumbled. The girls scowled and went skipping down the path.
“Ugh.” I cried. “Stupid ants.” I jumped out of the grass, shaking off all the tiny nuisances.
“Watch out!” Aktorious screamed, leaping from the porch to the street were a car was intent on my doom.
“You’re flying.” I frowned as he set me down. “I mean… thanks.”

    Ah-ha! Woe is me, for thinking such idiotic thoughts as “vampirish”. Nice.

    im getting confused…aktorius flew because she stepped in ants? or because she stepped out of the antpile and into the street? otherwise, good.

    cool, but i agree about the whole ant/street thing. otherwise ak being an angel is cool. only thing is why do angels have different teeth?

    I liked the ‘intent on my doom’ line.
