Bloody Twinkle

Based on Annabelle, only I used Twinkle as my haunted stuffed animal.

Chapter 1: The couple

"Masamune, should I put the crib over here? "

Masamune then looked at his adorable husband of 2 years, Ritsu Onodera Takano who was staring at him while carrying a pink crib in his arms.

"Maybe you should put it at the centre. "

"Across the door? Isn't that bad luck? "

The dark haired man sighed. "For a guy, you sure are superstitious. "

"Hey! There's nothing wrong in following superstitions! " Ritsu shot back as his jaded orbs darted at the left corner of the room. "Maybe I should just put it over there. " He said as he put the crib down to his desired location.

"If you're going to put things on your own accord, then don't bother asking me. " Masamune scowled at his husband.

"Meanie! I need opinions, we're talking about our daughter here, Masamune. " Ritsu reminded his husband as he also put hanging stars above the crib, afterwards, he then twirled the stars absently and spoke.

"I wonder… what she would look like… " He uttered.

Ritsu then felt his hazel eyed lover wrap his arms around his waist.

"I'm sure she'll be beautiful. " Masamune whispered as he hugged his lover tighter. "Though, I really wish she'll have your eyes. I love your eyes, Ritsu… "

The brunette man blushed. "I don't mind her having your eyes, Masamune. "

"True, but yours is lovelier. "

Ritsu lowered his eyelids. "The surrogate agency said that we will only have to wait for a couple of months before she was born. I wish… she'll be healthy… and… she'll come to love us. "

Masamune kissed his lover's cheek. "What are you so worried about? Of course she'll love us. We're her parents, and we'll take good care of her. "

Ritsu was about to answer when the doorbell rang.

"That must be it. " Both of them said aloud as they scampered towards the door.

They both opened the door and the delivery man stood in front of them.

"Excuse me, delivery for Mr. Masamune and Ritsu Takano? " He asked.

"That's us. " Masamune answered.

"Oh, I see, My name is Shino, I'm here to deliver the box of Twinkle stuffed toys that you ordered. " He said as he took a clipboard and handed it to Masamune. "If you did, then please sign here. " The delivery man said as he showed them a clipboard with some forms.

Masamune then signed the forms, after that, Shino pointed the huge box on the ground for them.

"Thank you, enjoy your purchase. " Shino said as he bowed.

"Thank you for delivering it! " Ritsu replied as he waved goodbye at the delivery man.

His husband then took the box while he closed the door.

"So, did they put all the coloured versions of Twinkle? " The brunette man asked excitedly.

"I'd rather have them all in colour pink. " The dark haired man scoffed.

Ritsu glared at his husband. "You don't even know if our daughter would like pink. It's better if we just buy her all the colours so that she can choose one colour to play each day and never get tired of all the rest. Maybe she'll have the pink Twinkle stuffed rabbit in one day, the green Twinkle stuffed toy the next day and so on."

Masamune then took a cutter and cut the box, Ritsu then opened it and his eyes sparkled.

"They're so cute! " He giggled as he took one light green stuffed rabbit in his hands. "See, they even have the same star wand on the left arm! "

"Even so, they all look the same, why get them in different colours? " Masamune scowled at his lover. "I told you, we can get these stuffed rabbits in colour pink. " He added, not wanting to give up the colour pink for their daughter.

"I've been surrounded with women most of my life, Mr. Takano, and I know that women like same things with different colours. I couldn't understand it either, they're just like that. My cousin used to have the same handbag with different colours, the same as with my mom, she wanted the same design of shoes with different colours, for whatever reason, actually, I really don't know why. Maybe it's this 'girl thing' that they're saying. "

"Ugh, we should've had a son then. "

The green eyed man giggled. "Come on, you said you wanted a daughter, I'm just telling you what will happen so you wouldn't be surprised. "

"Whatever. " Masamune said as he went closer to his husband. God, he loves this man so much.

"What are you doing? " Ritsu asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"I want to kiss you. "

"You've been kissing me all the time! "

"What's wrong with that? We're married, let me show you how much I love you. "

"More like drowning me with love, I swear, sometimes I wanted to buy paddle just so I can have my way out when it comes to your advances. Masamune, at least keep your hands and your lips to yourself once in a while. And especially at work. Kisa san and Hatori san are complaining everytime they see you being touchy feely with me. "

"They're just jealous because their husbands are not with them. And we're not at work, Ritsu, we're at home. " Masamune whispered hotly as he licked the outer shell of his husband's ear.

"We're not done arranging things here – "

"It can wait, right now, I want you… " The hazel eyed man said seductively as he kissed his dear Ritsu.

For some reason, Ritsu felt himself complying to his husband's wishes, afterall, he is madly in love with the man who's ravishing him right now.

CRASH!

Ritsu blinked at the sound of shattered glass.

He then moved his head, only to see his husband sleeping soundly.

He was about to ignore it when he heard some shuffles outside their room.

This is not good. They really need to take a look. NOW.

"Masamune… " Ritsu whispered as he shook his husband awake.

Masamune stirred and opened his eyes. "What? "

"I think someone is inside our house. " He whispered in alarm.

The dark haired man then bolted awake and immediately sat up.

Ritsu also sat up and focused on hearing, just in case if it's really inside their house.

True enough they heard some shuffles outside their room, and when they heard light footsteps, Masamune then signaled Ritsu that they should get dressed.

The dark haired editor in chief took a long, steel bar that was hidden in their closet, he then walked towards the door afterwards.

"Ritsu, stay here, I'm going to check – "

"No, I'll go with you. " The brunette replied as he took another steel bar from the cabinet.

"Idiot, I don't know what will happen – "

"Masamune, you're my husband and I'm your husband, if there is something wrong, we should both check it together. "

Masamune shook his head. "I don't want something bad to happen to you. "

"Same here, that's why we should go together. "

Masamune smiled. "You're too stubborn. "

"Your fault for marrying a stubborn guy like me. "

"I love you anyways… all your entire being… " He responded to Ritsu as he kissed his hair then held his hands tightly. "Stay behind me. "

Both of them then opened the door and padded towards the living room. When they looked around, they saw no one in there, it didn't ease the tension that they're feeling though, but they both noticed that they're door was busted open.

"Someone's here… we have to find him. " Masamune observed.

"I'm going to call the police… " Ritsu added as he took his cellphone and dialed 911.

"Hello? This Ritsu Takano, yes, I'm afraid we have a burglar in our house, we live in 902 Plum street and our door was busted open and – "

"Ritsu! Look out! " Masamune screamed as he immediately pulled his lover towards him.

Ritsu stared in horror as he saw an axe being buried on the floor, on the exact same place where he was standing earlier.

"What the hell do you want? " Masamune growled as he put his arm over his lover, obviously protecting him.

Ritsu then stared at the being in front of them. He's not sure if he's a man or a woman, but the being is wrapped in black cloak, with a pentagram hanging on his chest. He can only see a part of the face, which showed a very pale chin and lips that curved into a sinister smile.

"We don't have gold in here so get lost! " Masamune added as he pulled Ritsu closer.

"I love your stuffed animals… "

This time, Ritsu then pulled his lover towards him when they heard a scary female voice behind his lover.

Ritsu then looked at the small female in front of them, she had messy caramel colured hair, black eyes, and was wearing a white dress with black ribbon tied around her waist.

And she was holding the original version of Twinkle, the white stuffed rabbit. She was smiling creepily while holding a small dagger on her free hand.

"Look… just… take whatever you like… " The brunette said as he hugged Masamune tighter. "Please… just leave us alone… "

He suddenly felt goosebumps as he felt the axe being lifted on the floor. The way the floor creaked made Ritsu felt nervous. He didn't need to look where the axe is placed, he very well knew... it was above his head, he can see the sharp tip gleaming at the corner of his right eye.

He gulped, and Masamune, sensing his fear squeezed his hand.

"Ritsu… don't tell me you're ready to die. " He muttered.

"Nope, I'm not. But we don't have a choice. "

"We still have. " Masamune replied as he tightened his hold on the steel bar. "Ready? "

Ritsu then stared at Masamune's arms with his weapon. "Are you sure? "

"Yeah. " His lover replied as he smirked.

"Okay…I trust you… " He said as he squeezed Masamune's hand in return.

"Here we go… 1…2… 3… Exchange! " Masamune thundered as he and Ritsu swiped positions in a quick horizontal manner, in a snap, they exchanged positions and lunged towards their intruders, Masamune hit the cloaked person with the steel bar on the chest while Ritsu grabbed the woman's hand with the dagger and wrestled her on the floor.

When they heard the siren of the police cars, Masamune immediately raised his steel bar and hit the cloaked person on the head, which rendered him unconscious instantly, Ritsu, despite against hurting a female, had punched his attacker on the face in order to stop her from killing him.

In a few minutes, the police then barged on their door and saw the couple and their intruders.

"Oh God… " One of the policemen said.

"They're just unconscious. " Masamune explained.

"No, we meant your intruders, those people are members of a satanic cult. "

"What? " Ritsu asked as he stood up.

"They killed a lot of people during their sacrifices and dark masses. We've been looking for them all this time. "

"I see… " The jade eyed man nodded as he went closer to his husband who in turn hugged him closer to him.

The couple watched as the policemen handcuffed them, and dragged the intruders away.

Just as the female intruder was about to be loaded in the car, she woke up, and then took another dagger from her waist and pointed it at the neck of the policeman who cuffed her hand.

"Hojiro! " One of them screamed and Ritsu and Masamune watched in horror as she started to dig the blade on the police man's skin.

"Let him go or we'll fire at you! " One of the policemen said as they pointed their gun at her.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! " She laughed as she kept the policeman hostage on her grip. "One move… " She trailed as she eyed the policeman who are about to shoot her. "And I'll cut his head off! "

The policeman named Hojiro took her crazed disposition as an opportunity, he immediately slammed his foot on the female intruder, causing her to scream in pain and let go of him as he scampered away as fast as he can.

"Now, put your hands behind your head! " One of them screamed.

But the next thing she did horrified all of them.

She then took the pristine white stuffed rabbit that she was holding earlier closer to her chest, then she took the dagger and slit her own throat, vertically.

Ritsu watched in horror as he saw the blood drip from her neck, then flowed and dropped towards the chest of the stuffed rabbit, staining it pink.

The policemen gasped while Masamune immediately pulled his lover closer to him and shut his own eyes.

"Don't look… " He commanded softly but firmly to his innocent mate.

After awhile, the police spoke, one of them commanding each other to call an ambulance.

"Mr. Takano? "

Masamune then opened his eyes to see one policeman looking at them gravely.

"I'm afraid you have to sleep someplace else. " He said as he looked at them. "This place is now a crime scene, and we need to clear the area as soon as possible. "

"I see… can we just get some stuff before we head out? "

"Sure, but please hurry up. "

Masamune nodded and then tugged his lover who silently followed him.

"Ritsu, we have to sleep in the office for now. " He murmured. "Don't worry, we'll look for another house tomorrow. "

His adorable lover didn't respond still, he sighed as he took a cup and poured hot water from the kettle, he then put a tea bag on it and handed the to him.

"Here, have some… wait here, I'll just get some blankets and pillows – "

But Ritsu then clutched his husband's shirt.

"Why… why us? " He muttered. "We're just living a quiet life… "

The editor in chief breathed as he put his hands on his subordinate's shaking shoulders.

"Ritsu, things like this happen. We cannot predict these kinds of situations… "

"But Masamune… what if… what if it'll happen again - "

"Shh… don't worry, I'm here… I'll protect you… " Masamune assured as he hugged him. "I won't let anything happen to you, not as long as I'm alive… "

Ritsu hugged him back. "I… I don't want to lose you either… "

"We'll be here for each other… " Masamune said as he squeezed his hand. "Always and forever, Ritsu... remember that. "

"What a gruesome night… " Hojiro muttered as he looked at the dead body of the female intruder and wiped away some hair that covered her face. "It's a shame she's a part of a crazy cult. She's such a beauty. "

"Yeah, and crazily deranged who almost took your life away. " His comrade scoffed. "Come on, we have to put her in a stretcher. The doctors need to perform an autopsy on her. "

Both men then put the dead body on a stretcher, which caused her arm to sway downwards and let go of the stuffed rabbit that she was holding.

People and ambulance started to get busy as well as the detectives that came in the scene. Not even noticing a missing stuffed animal in their midst.

As night fell, one by one, people started to leave the Takano household, after one final check, the police locked the door and they all left the scene.

Suddenly, a curious neighbor, Haitani Shin then peeked at the bushes.

"Whoa, what happened here? " He mused as he walked lazily towards the house. "I knew it, those faggot lovers are up to something again and – oh, shit! "

Irritated, he then looked at the one guilty of piercing his slipper, with one hand, he took his slipper off and inspected underneath it, he then saw a small, star wand buried over it.

He then looked at the ground and saw a dirt stained stuffed rabbit on the ground.

"Stupid faggots, leaving their toys behind. " He hissed as he threw the small star wand somewhere and kicked the stuffed rabbit out of his way before putting his slipper back on.

He then walked towards the house, only to be disappointed when he felt the doorknob was locked.

"What a waste, I thought I could get some valuables over there… " He said artlessly.

He was about to turn around when he felt the wind blow towards him in a harsh manner.

It was then followed by pebbles being thrown at him.

"What the hell!? " He growled as he crossed his arm over his face. The pebbles continued to attack him like he's their sole target, and he started to run blindly, even so, the pebbles ran with him as well, continuing their attack on him.

"Twinkle, twinkle little star… "

Haitani widened his eyes.

"How I wonder what you are… "

He then looked around from his crossed arms, but to his surprise, he could not see anything or anyone singing.

"Like a diamond in the sky… "

"Okay, bitch, where are you? " He screamed, after focusing on the voice again, he already determined the gender of the singer. The voice is feminine, and soft, he knew, someone is scaring him out of his wits. Ha! Tough luck.

The pebbles stopped attacking him all of a sudden. And then Haitani then crouched on the ground.

"What the fuck just happened? " He asked as he face palmed himself.

"This is what's happening! Hahahahahahahaha! "

Shivers then ran down towards Haitani's spine when he heard the female's voice started to get downright scary.

He then looked around, but still saw no one.

"Tell me, what's the next line in twinkle twinkle little star? " The female voice asked again in the air.

"How should I know? It's a children's nursery rhyme!" He hissed back, trying to hide his fear. "And stop hiding, you coward! "

He heard another snigger again, but this time, it was nearer.

Sweat started to form on Haitani's forehead, he is seriously creeped out right now. The voice is getting nearer and still, there was no sign of a person or a human being in his surroundings.

"Tell me again, what's the next line in twinkle twinkle little star? "

"I said I don't know, you crazy bitch! " Haitani screamed back. "Stop creeping me out! If you don't stop, I'll call the police! "

Haitani kept on looking around, but still, he saw no one.

When the female voice stopped asking, he became more alarmed.

"Psst… Look down… "

And he did.

SLIIIICCCCEEEEEE!

"Nooooo! " Haitani screamed, before he even knew what is happening, he saw his ankle bleeding, and his left foot dismantled form his left leg.

Tears started to form in his eyes as he looked at his bleeding leg. "Somebody! Help me! "

"So noisy… "

Haitani then looked up, only to see a pair of dirt crusted pair of stuffed rabbit legs stand near his face.

Haitani widened his eyes, slowly, he made his gaze go upwards, and when he looked at it's full appearance, he saw that it was the stuffed toy that he kicked in the dirt earlier.

Now, the said stuffed animal had its eyes glowing red, and despite its small and fluffy stature, it was carrying a huge deadly axe on its soft, arms.

And it's downright scary.

His eyes even dilated even more when he saw its stitched mouth open and spoke.

"I'm gonna ask again, what's the last line of twinkle twinkle little stars? " The stuffed rabbit asked as it raised its axe in the air.

Haitaini knew that his life will be in danger, so he scampered away as fast as he can, ignoring the psychotic stuffed animal.

But he can only crawl a few paces, when he looked back, he saw that the deadly rabbit is gaining it's speed and is now catching after him.

"Ready or not, here I coooommmmeeee! " The deranged rabbit screamed as it skipped towards its target.

"Nooooo! " Haitani screamed as he crawled faster.

He was so afraid and so scared that he didn't know a car was passing by on the direction that he's going, he was crawling faster and faster until…

SCREEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH!

Haitani's body suddenly crashed with a passing car, and his body tumbled on the ground, killing him on the spot.

The deadly rabbit then stood silently, watching the whole scenario through its beady button eyes, it watched the blood pool and almost made a lake on the road, when the owner of the car came in to check on Haitani, the rabbit now known as Twinkle turned his back and skipped on the ground with a huge axe resting on his shoulders.

Twinkle stopped on his tracks as he looked at the house that formerly welcomed him.

"As they say… the couple that leaves and betrays their stuffed animal together… dies together! Rest in peace soon... lovers! "

Thank you for reading!

I know it's kind of gory, but as of now, I am chock full of sweet tales about Ritsu and Masamune that I wanted a diversion.

I was thinking of using Annabelle in the story, but then resigned on the idea, I thought Twinkle will be the best choice (very much SIH if you ask me ), imagining Twinkle the cute stuffed rabbit killing and murdering people for his own amusement is something else (it rattled me just thinking about it, honestly )

At the same time, I wanted to create a story where Ritsu and Masamune are a real couple and are facing couple's crisis like any other married lovebirds, I want to show that despite them being lovey dovey and sappy to each other, they know how to depend on each other and know how to fight hand in hand especially for the sake of their family.
