Chapter 19

"If you guys are just going to continue staring at the dolls please leave my stall, so other customers around can see my dolls okay". The woman at the stall told them softly. The kids had so much going on in their minds that they didn't do anything at the stall and we're just staring at the dolls. "We're sorry madame, give us this pink one and this blue one". Paul spoke up realizing they might have offended the woman. "It's alright son, here so that will be fifty pounds". The woman said and handed over the dolls to Arianna since Paul was busy looking in his pocket for money and Aurora was looking away. Arianna was busy staring at the dolls, the blue one looked really pretty it's in sky blue and a baby shark doll, the second one was a baby monster it was however in pink color to make it look less bad but who wanted a monster doll Paul must have picked it unconsciously. "Here ma'am you can keep the change". Paul said and handed a hundred pounds to the woman. "Thank you, thank you, I really appreciate, thank you". The old woman kept saying thank you and bowing down, so many people would price the dolls to pennies but these kids had paid more than necessary. "You're welcome ma'am, we'll be back another time". They bade her bye and left the stall. "Nice of you to patronize her and still give her so money". Arianna said when they were already a few feet away from the shop. "His dream is philanthropy, hey boy show me some of the love you're sharing uhm". "Here a doll for you, that's a 50 pounds doll technically". Paul said and collected the blue shark and gave it to Aurora. "I'd give you a kiss for picking a blue doll but I gave all my kiss to Ari yesterday". "I just picked it subconsciously though, I saw the color and decided I was going with this". Paul replied with a shrug "Ari has the soul of a pretty princess, so I'm sure pink fits better". Aurora said as if to ask if she is alright with the doll "Well what can I say I'm subconsciously smart as I am consciously and I know you both like I know myself". Paul chipped in before Arianna could reply. "Cut the lines boy, stop getting into your own head". Arianna chided jokingly, now she couldn't possibly say she preferred the blue one cause then Paul would be hurt. "Hey, let's get chain teddies for our bag we could buy similar ones and put it on our bags". Aurora said pointing at the shop that sold several accessories just ahead. "Yay, I like the black one from here". Arianna said and started walking towards the shop Aurora and Paul following behind her. When they got to the shop they saw the black teddy Arianna had seen from far off was a monster teddy that looked just like the doll in her hands. "Okay, you were really fated to have that doll". Paul said looking back and forth from the doll In her hands to the one at the stall they just entered. "Young lady that teddy fits the doll you're holding perfectly do you want it. She was about to refuse, why was she getting entangled with monster teddies when she isn't a monster "Yes shopmaster she'll take it and we want this blue and this white". Paul said pointing out what they want to the man behind the counter, before Arianna could say anything and once again she had to accept the teddy cause of Paul. "Aurora do you like the blue teddy I chose it for you". "Uhn, yeah it's fine". Aurora replied without even looking at the teddy in question. A peach hairpin had caught her attention immediately they got to the stall and she wasn't a girlish person and she didn't really fancy hairpins and the sorts, she hardly used any accessories at all but this pin was literally drawing her heart and she couldn't make up her kind if to buy or not. "You're not even seeing it and it's okay. Paul said trying to follow the direction of her eyes to see that she was looking at a hairpin, the pin was pretty but isn't Aurora, did she want to get it for aunty. " Oh sorry I was distracted and didn't actually hear you, you were saying". Aurora asked and looked over to Paul. "I was saying, I chose the blue teddy for you is it fine by you". Paul asked once again. "Who is the owner of the white? Ari?" "Nah I chose the white one for myself, do you want the white". Paul asked and stretched it towards her. " If it's fine by you, thanks for being a sweetie with good eyes". She replied and collected the hairpin from him. "What is Arianna using, I don't want something different from my sweeties". Aurora asked. "You literally didn't hear a single conversation we've been having since morning". "I'm sorry I was lost ". She said and by instinct looked back at the hairpin deciding she wasn't buying it cause she knew she wouldn't wear it and she didn't want to just put something so pretty at home in her dressers she'd be guilty. " Well, Ari is using the black teddy she saw and it looks so similar with the doll from earlier". Paul explained. "Okay, so shall we go have some more fun should we enter the markets or go ride something, which". Aurora asked. "Let's go check out their ghost house". Arianna suggested. "We might not necessarily find it as fun as humans would, I can already foresee Aurora slapping shit out of the ghosts on purpose just cause they weren't fun, she might even go as far as scaring them back". Paul said and he and Ari burst out laughing. "It's not nice to gang up against me and I support Ari let's go I'm curious what the script would be and how good the actors are". THE VEIL ON THE DARK
