(Y/n) POV

I walked to my assigned cashier register, and stood there waiting for customers to come. "(y/n)! What On earth are you doing?!" Dust hissed in my ear, "what?" I said confused, "you are going to get chased down by IT! Who knows if she's already in this dimension!" He whispered angrily, "dimension- what?! Are you on something there buddy?!" I questioned, staring at my shoulder that he was on, "no!! I mean if she gets you, you might as well count yourself dead!!" He hissed, "she?! Who the h*ll are you talking about?!" I asked desperate to see what he's saying, "I mean Chara"
"Who in the world is named-" "excuse me?" Someone interrupted, "yes ma'am?" I squeaked, "could you um... maybe check-out my stuff" the lady asked looking at the both of us confused, "of course ma'am, so s-sorry for the inconvenience" I smiled nervously.

I let out a tired sigh, checking-out yet another customers items. I looked out the huge window in the front, the sun was beginning to set, "hey Dust works almost over. You want anything?" "No, I'm okay" he responded yawning, I think he's starting to warm up to me, during most of the time when I didn't have customers, me and him talked and joked, it was the first time I ever heard him laugh, it was pretty cute! Even though he didn't laugh much. I was just about done with all the customers in my 'register booth', and was packing my stuff, (like a water bottle, and a snack) "(y/n)!!" An oddly familiar voice squeaked out, "is that really you?!" Can you guess who this is? If you say Josh, I swear, do you think he would do something like this? Well actually now that I think about it- agh! no stop! I looked up and was met with amber eyes, if you said Rashaa I'll give you a nice non-existent pat on the back. "Uhh...maybe?" "Don't play those jokes on me (y/n)! It's obviously you! The one and only!" She said loudly. I looked nervously around me, everybody! I mean, EVERYBODY in the whole store, was staring straight at me. Some chuckled and giggled, others looked at me confused. I leaned in, "can you please keep it down!" I whispered-yelled, "oh, sorry" she whispered back, "it's just I can't believe you work here! How come I've never seen you before?!" She questioned, "maybe because you didn't know me at the time" I responded, "oh, that makes sense" she nodded. she looked at my cashier, and pointed at Dust, "you brought Dust with you?" I nodded, "aww, hi there" she waved, he turned his back on her, "still a bit grumpy huh? But it's pretty strange that a specialized bitty acts that way" she said curiously, my brows knitted together, 'specialized?' I thought, I was always curious of what a specialized bitty is, I might ask her one day, she didn't give much of an explanation, other than they help people with issues. "Hey Rashaa, I'm going to head home soon, so you'll have to say goodbye" "oh, well then, bye!" She turned and waved, "yeah, see you soon" I said waving back. Sandy walked to my cashier, "so, who was that?" She asked, "just a friend of mine" I smiled faintly, "good to know that your starting to have more friends!" She smiled, "yeah..."

I was walking home, passing cars and people, biting into a chocolate bar and sharing it with Dust. While I was walking I just happened to glance into an alleyway i was walking past. It seemed like somebody was standing there in the alleyway, their back toward me, like the curious person I am, I take a closer look in the dark gap, there was someone! Not just anyone, it appeared to be a little girl, with copper brown short hair, a green sweater with a yellow stripe in the middle, and brown leggings and black boots. I stopped to stare at her. Dust didn't seem to see her. That's when

Time seemed to stop

Her head slowly turned to look at me, candy red eyes stared straight into my being, sending cold shivers of pure fear down my spine. She had strange pink cheeks and a sharp closed smile, I realized she was VERY pale, not to mention those haunting red eyes, they were unblinking and emotionless. We were just staring at each other for long seconds. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out, why is she so terrifying. her small smile broke out into a sharp grin. Something felt very off about that grin, it held something sinister. I snapped out of my trance, sweat poured down my forehead, I broke out into a speed walk, acting as if I never seen those terrifying red eyes, I mean what in the world was that! No normal human has that shade of red eyes, yeah maybe some brown eyed people might have red looking eyes, but not that red. And how can a girl younger than me be so terrifyingly scary? My thought were like wolves in the night. "Hey (y/n)! Are you okay?" Dust asked, slightly concerned about your odd behavior. "Yeah... I just saw something weird" what am I doing!? Why didn't I just tell him?! I opened the door of my small home, and locked it behind me. I let out a relieved sigh, that I didn't get jumped by something. A image of those red eyes and smile appeared in my head, I visibly flinched walking into my room.

No ones POV

Dust watched (y/n) finally started to sleep.

Something is up...

Something is in this universe...
