A devilish idea

Despite Tophs tough girl act, I felt her jump whenever there was a sudden jump scare, but her pride wouldn't allow her to ask me to stop the film and by the time the credits roll she's hugging me like a wet cat.

"Well, did you enjoy the film?" I say with a wide grin as Toph lays motionless on my chest. "Ha, was that supposed to be scary." Her voice was shaking as she tried to keep up her tough girl act. I thought about teasing her maybe make her jump, but I'm not that big of a dick.

"Ya, it was ok. Unlike you, I'm not scared that easily no wonder you need a bodyguard."

She gave a quick laugh, and I suddenly found myself becoming a bigger dick. "Ya well you would be scared too if you had to live through that, they never caught him in the end."

Toph froze "what?"

"You do know that these films are based on actual events.

I swear I could see the colour visible drain from her face, it was taking every ounce of power I had not to smile or laugh, but I held firm.

"Q-quit Joking around," she said, trying her best to sound unbothered by what I just said, but I had seen a moment of weakness in her shaking voice, and I was going to strike.

"Well, not all of it is true; he couldn't enter your dreams." I could see her shoulders relax a bit, "But he would sneak into a house kinda like this one and torcher you in bed before finishing you off. Come to think of it. I believe it It was around this area when he was last spotted."

Toph now looked white as a sheet, "Your full of shit!" she yelled.

I raised my hands in surrender trying to act serious, "It's true, why do you think they hired you as a bodyguard, Sebastion said it was because someone was killing around this area."

It's silent for a moment. I'm giggling on this inside as I watch Toph prosses the information. Maybe I was a bit too over the top in this whole thing, but then I remember the water being poured on me and the insults, and suddenly I don't feel as bad anymore.
