Elixir and Perkins 8D

woot! My two original characters created for my own enjoyment and fer Bella's show idea 8D.

Story: Elixir, once a loudmouth snitch, was silenced when she was 6 years old. The little troublemaker slid down the handrail of a staircase and broke her neck. After she had her operation she was left with a horrible scar on her neck. After a month of recovering, she began to walk but she rarely did. Ever since that accident she hated the ground, she saw it as evil and murderous. The next day, she received a gift wrapped in orange colored wrapper. She asked who sent it but no name was listed. Surprised for a moment, she then opened up the gift and it was a scarf. Taken back but happy as well, she held the scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She was glad it covered her scar and also it was soft and a likable color. As she slept her last night in the hospital, there was a glow in her room. The excessive brightness woke up Elixir and she freaked as she noticed it was her scarf. She sat up in her bed and started to yell out for help but the scarf tangled around her neck, getting tighter as she spoke. When she couldn't take it anymore, she collapsed on the bed and silenced herself. The scarf began to loosen and ceased the glowing. Shocked and bewildered, she quickly got a grasp on the scarf and pulled it away from her. But the scarf wouldn't budge and Elixir began to pull harder but no luck. She gave in and softly whispered but silenced as the scarf wrapped itself around her neck with every word that slipped her lips. She stopped talking and rolled up in her bed. As she started to drift off, the glow came back but this time the glow was orange and blue. All she remembered was seeing her legs, head and body above the bed. The next morning she found herself in a dark blue room, surrounded by five objects a doll, a book, a pillow, a necklace and in a corner a little pumpkin.
Bewildered, Elixir takes a step forward and draws near the necklace. As she grew closer, the scarf began to pull on her as if it were a leash. Glancing at the necklace, she merely shook her head and right where the necklace stood, it disappeared. Same situation occurred with the other objects and she finally reached the pumpkin. In her opinion it was quite odd, and somewhat strange, all other objects were non-living and this, THIS was living. She slowly leaned in, in fear of the scarf to act up again and as she drew closer... the scarf didn't react. She arrived at the stand where the pumpkin was placed and the moment she was about to grab it, the scarf picked it up instead. With the tips the scarf then started to glow an awry green light and so did the pumpkin. The dark room then lit up orange for a second, as the room grew darker the scarf released the pumpkin. Without thinking Elixir fell forward grasping the pumpkin for dear life.
"gahh, your choking mehhhhh!!" cried a faint voice, Elixir looked around the room frantically.
"..h-h-e..lloo???" Elixir yelled out, hoping to be responded.
"mhmhfhfurhg.. w-elll...furyfgre remove your hand from my mouth first!" the voice said again.
Elixir realized the voice sounded near...and right in her hands. Elixir then looks at the pumpkin in disbelief.
"did you... just say something....??" Elixir asked the pumpkin, holding it with two hands.
"-clears throat- why, yes I did, I would've said something earlier but someone had their hand on the mouth" The pumpkin said.
"..... you..can talk???" Elixir asked.
"well of course I can, you chose me didn't ya? ahh well, you'll understand later on. By the Way, what would you like to name me?"
"nn-a-me.. you? what..!? so your like.. wait what??" Elixir said in a weak voice.
"Name me, everyone has a name. I'm sure you do too! What's your name?" The Pumpkin asked gleefully.
"... err.. well okay It's Elixir" she said.
"At your service Miss Elixir" he said politely. "Now quickly I need a name"
"well, okay, aince you're a pumpkin how about Jinkins, Kins, Pum, Rubert?"
"how about.... no, I knew you wouldn't have a name for your guardian, so how about just Perkins?"
Elixir thought for a moment of what he said, but didn't bother to ask. "Perkins? -giggles lightly- very well then Sir Perkins" Elixir said as she lifted him in her hands. As she held him close she gently asked "Perkins, what exactly did you mean by guardian?"
"Long story short, did you notice how your scarf is not choking you?"
Elixir then stopped walking and noticed that, "...it.. It's not choking me!" she sighed relived.
"see, now that you've chosen a guardian that scarf no longer has power over you, with me by your side, nothing will hurt you again...." Perkins paused for a moment and asked "wait.. you had your accident when, how, what happened, and why..?"
Elixir paused and turned her head "I really don't want to talk about it.."
"..but I'm your guardian, I have to know so I know what to keep you away from"
"all I'm saying is" -kicks floor- "I really wish I were to float or something, the ground is just murderous and evil." Before Elixir could even realize, she started to walk but her feet weren't touching the ground. Shocked, she looked down and she started to float up.
"...w--hh..a?" she looked at Perkins, puzzled.
"did I mention you have powers now? -eyebrows- Perkins started to lift off Elixir's hand and started to glow a deep orange, the light was intense Elixir had covered her eyes and once the light settled down she looked back and Perkins was no longer a little pumpkin.
Floating above Elixir's head Perkins slowly glided down with his new light blue see-through body and actually had eyes, he stopped once he was face to face with Elixir.
"There, I wondered when I'd transform" Perkins said as he stretched. He then reached out a a hand to Elixir and asked "Ready to go?"
"........................................ g-o.. where??" Elixir had had enough of the strange going-ons.
"To start your life again smart one" Perkins laughed.
"..wha.. but I have to get back to the hospital, my fami--..."
".oooo my, you have a lot to learn" Perkins interrupted.
Without another word Perkins grabbed Elixir by her hand and pulled her up, away from the ground and lead her through a corridor.
Both beginning a new life, one by the other, side by side.
