Drocell: part 1
It was a nice summer day in London, kodashi was walking along the roads of south London, he was wearing a mask and black gloves, was his way to the school, he passed this really old puppet shop every day, stopped affront of it, this day he had promised himself to go in there, he swallowed, placed a hand on the old handle, turned it around, a click was heard and the door went open for him, it made a creaky sound. He swallowed and went in there, there was girl puppets everywhere in there, and a big red chair in there, it was empty, he closed the door and went more in to the shop, looking around, he then went over to the table there, where it was a puppet, he gently picked her up, looked at her, smiled a bit
- how pretty… he thought, placed her down again on the table, went more in there, looking around, he went behind the counter, looked at the shelves with different bottles there, they were dusty and covered in spider web, he looked around there
- Why haven’t anyone taken all those things away yet? They belong in a museum… he thought, looked around. He opened a cabin there, there was a lots of old papers, he gently took them out and placed them on the table, looked through them. There were instructions and drawings
- This is amazing… what year is it? He thought, looked trough to find a date, he then found one, his eyes widen, it said; “the 14: Th of September 1888" he looked at the papers, shocked. He looked around, took out a small plastic bag, took the papers and made sure they didn’t got damaged then placed it back in his bag, closed the bag, he then took his bag, went around in the shop, looking around. He then went behind a sheet, in that room was a lots of puppet-parts, he looked around there, went over to what looked like the working table, he gently felt over the tools. He gently took one up, felt over it, it was still sharp, he placed it back and looked around, he saw a few parts that almost were done, he looked around to check so no one was there he then took the parts, started to build it together. After a while was he done with building it, it became a male puppet, he painted eyes and a mouth, he made some hair for him and looked at him, and he smiles a bit inside the mask, looking at him. Then he looked around to find some clothes for it, he then saw something bigger in the corner of the shop, he placed his puppet away and went over there, moved some boxes, when he saw what it was, did he fell back and landed on the floor, backed away, his eyes was widen a lot, looking at the big puppet man in the corner, he swallowed and went closer, looked at him. Gently placed a hand on the wooden cheek, his glove got covered in dust, thou he felt over the cheek, looking at him, he then grabbed him and pulled him out from the corner, out to the light, where he could see him better, he saw that he had a mark on his cheek, it had been blue but it was almost gone now. He decided to fix this puppet, the hair was orange and his eyes was purple, his clothes was that old as well, he dusted him off and found a hat, which was his, he then started to fix him up, he painted the mark and the colours that looked like make up over his eyes, he then closed his clothes again, then suddenly he blinked, kodashi flew up and back, he turned his head and looked at him, he blinked again, kodashi was shaking a bit, he then sat up, took his hat and took it on, stood up, then walked towards kodashi. Kodashi backed thou hitted a wall, the puppet then stopped, placed a hand on its own chest, bowed down, clicking sounds was heard as he moved around. Kodashi looked at him, a bit shocked.
- w-who are you? He asked
- I am Drocell Keinz, young master…he said, looked up at him.
- Y-you… are a… p-p-puppet… he said, still scared.
- Yes I am… you made me come back to life and I am thankful for that… I am a butler-puppet. He said
- A… butlet…puppet? What’s that? He asked, got a bit curios.
- Yes… I was created to serve… unfittingly my master died in a bad accident. He said
- Oh… I am sorry… he said
- Don’t be… he said.
- Well… uhm… I have to go… my school has started a long time ago. Kodashi said
- School? He asked
- Yes… I have to go. He said
- Let me take you there, young master, I am here to serve you… he said
- Uhm… okay then… he said, went out from the room, Drocell followed him out, opened the door for him, Kodashi looked at him then went out, Drocell following him. They both walked along the streets, Drocell looked around there
- This is not like when you were alive… is it? Kodashi asked
- No, it is not. Strange wagons you have here. He said. Kodashi giggles a bit.
- It is not wagons, those are called cars, they are faster then wagons with horses that pulls them. He said
- Cars? Drocell said, looked at the cars that passing him. After a while they reached the school, kodashi went in to the schoolyard, he looked around then saw his friends, they waved at him, he waved back, ran over there, Drocell calmly walked after him, the others on the schoolyard looked at him, kodashi came up to his friends, they greeted him
- You took your time. One of them said
- Yea I know, come on lets go inside… he said, then Drocell stood behind him, his friends backed a bit
- K-kodashi… there is a creepy guy behind you… the other one said
- Hm? Kodashi looked up, saw Drocell, Drocell looked at the others
- Young master, are those your friends? He asked
- Ah… yes they are, guys this is Drocell, he is my… friend. He said smiling, Drocell lightly bowed had his hand in his chest, and Kodashi’s friends looked at him then on kodashi.
- W-well we have to go inside now, sensei is mad already. One of his friends said and they went in, Drocell followed them inside, as they reached the classroom kodashi stopped
- Is something wrong, young master? He asked
- No… but you have to wait out here, I cant show up with… a 128 year old puppet… he said
- I understand, he bowed and stood put.
- Uhm…ok… don’t go anywhere… he said and went in, the lesson had started
- Kodashi- kun, so you decided to come anyways… his sensei said, the class giggled low and looked at him
- Sorry, sensei… I got dilated. He said, bowed
- Go to your seat and we can continue… he said, kodashi nodded and went to his place, no one in the class had seen his face, the girls was interested in him, thou he didn’t care about them, a hour passed and the class ended, he stood up and picked his stuff together, as he came out the class had gathered around Drocell, they looked at him, he looked like a statue there, they was talking with each other, he saw them, sighed
- Drocell… over here. He said, waved at him, he looked at him, started to walk, they moved aside fast, looked at him with widen eyes, he reached Kodashi and moved behind him, he then started walk, Drocell following him. They went out from the school; he moved up on a big rock, looked at Drocell.
- Is there something on your mind, bochan? He asked
- Yea… 1888… that was when Jack the ripper was on… you knew who it was? He asked
- No… I did not… he said. Kodashi sighed
- I see… but… how did you end up in the shop like that? He asked
- I was killed… he said, Kodashi’s eyes widen, looked at him
- You…you was killed? He asked
- Yes… Drocell said
- By…by who? He asked
- Sebastian michaelis…he said, looked at kodashi.
- Who is that? Kodashi asked
- A demon… and a powerful one as well… he explained, had a finger up at his face. Kodashi looked at him
- A…demon? Those exist? He asked confused
- Well of Corse… they are hiding themselves… he said, looked at kodashi.
- That is so… weird… I never thought there was anything like demons… kodashi said. Drocell stood still where he stood, looking at him
- Bochan, if I may ask… how old are you? Drocell asked
- I am 13 years old. He said, smiled inside the mask.
- I see… he said, then some of the bullies came up and grabbed Kodashis bag, backed away
- Hey! Give that back! Kodashi said.
- Ha ha ha, come and get it, mask boy! He said, kodashi jumped down from the stone, ran over there, tried to get his bag back. Thou the bullies friends then grabbed him, they almost took off his mask, when they then suddenly just disappeared, he opened his eyes and looked around, then saw Drocell, holding out his arms, something shined, threads? He looked up, there was the bullies, hanging in their legs and arms
- I have to ask you to return bochan’s bag, please. He said a calm voice. The guy dropped the bag, kodashi catches it and went over to Drocell again
- Thank you... he said, smiles a bit at Drocell,
- What should I do to those? He asked him
- Uhm… just put them down… he said, holding his bag.
- Yes, my lord… he said, dropped them on the ground, they got up and ran off. Kodashi looks up at Drocell, smiles a bit, he looks at the bag, smiling.
