Instructions

When Astryx finally got home his girlfriend who was sitting on the couch saw his clothes and smirked. "Someone try to rob you again?" she asks as Astryx sits down on the couch next to her. Her white and black hair covered her other eye and as Astryx gazed at her thinking of a good answer he just couldn't help but see her beauty as a monster. "Yeah..." He said at last. "But I took care of it." He says getting up and walking behind the couch and into the bedroom, taking off his armor and clothes and putting on some nice comfortable pajama pants. Glitchy sighs. "And let me guess you gave them all money again?" Astryx comes out of the bedroom and shrugs. "Hey... I figured that everyone has a reason to fight. Some more than others. Also the leader of the group didn't even know what he had gotten into... So I helped them with their hospital bills if they choose to go." Glitchy was squinting at him suspiciously. "How much?" She says. "Ah.... A twenty for each? There were only five guys..." Astryx quickly says. He picks up the remote and sits on the couch. Pressing a button he turned on Netflix. "Ugh... That's a hundred bucks you just gave away to people who tried to knock you out so they could steal your wallet." Astryx doesn't answer. "Hey are you listening to me bone head?" She says getting frustrated. Astryx puts finger up to her s. "Shhh." He mutes the TV and the sound of someone shuffling through papers in the office room reaches their ears. Glitchy 's face goes white. "W-what do we do?" she whispers barely audible. Astryx gets off the couch quietly and gestures for Glitchy to get on the ground. "Stay here... I'll go check it out." Astryx whispers and Glitchy nods getting down on the floor. Astryx tiptoes out of the living room and down the hallway. The sound of paper rustling suddenly stops. Astryx pauses holding his breath. Footsteps approach the door and Astryx quickly goes invisible. A person with green hair and strange eyes steps out of the room, his head covered with a cloak. He has strange card symbol's all over his clothes and a Clubs and Diamond mark on his cheeks. He is holding a piece of paper which he folds and tucks into a bag at his waist. His pants are also coveted clubs spades diamonds and hearts. "Weird person... What's the obsession with cards for?" Astryx thinks to himself. The person turns around and walks down the hall and leaves card on the table there. He approaches an open window which Astryx definitely didn't open and crawls through. Astryx quickly rushes to the window and watches as the man falls two hole stories and lands on his feet hopping on a bike and riding into the night. Astryx quietly shuts the window and walks back into the living room. He turns visible again and sits on the couch. Glitchy gets up off the floor and looks him waiting for an explanation. Astryx grins. "You won't believe this! But it was just the cat... You must have forgotten to put it away again. It's okay though cuz I did it for you." Glitchy looks confused. "So wait...no one was in the house?" she asks obviously suspicious. Astryx’s shakes his head. "Nope...Just the cat." He lied. He turns the TV back on and gets up. "Well I am off to bed. I'm pretty beat he says and walks the bedroom. You can come in whenever it don't forget to turn off the back porch light." Astryx walks into the bedroom and crawls into bed staring at the ceiling thinking about what he just saw. Eventually Glitchy walks in and crawls into bed beside him holding a metal card with three aces on it.
