Chapter 1: Meeting Edward and First Rival
For the longest time, young Oswald Cobblepot couldn't feel anything. He was nothing like the other children and would mainly sit alone. His mother would tell him stories of one day meeting his true love but he didn't really believe he could feel such a thing. He often wondered if, something was very wrong with him. By the time he was in his teens he finally met the boy of his dreams. His perfect soulmate. Edward Nygma. But sadly, Oswald had seen another girl speaking to him and inexplicable rage filled him. He had to get rid of her..but the question was, how? Monday, he recieved a call from a mysterious number.
He huffed. "Who's this?" he asked with a growl. No one knew his number as no one really wanted to deal with him. A woman chuckled on the other end. "I saw you stalking that boy the other day. Edward Nygma? You seem to have quite a crush on girl he was with is one of his childhood friends Kristen Kringle. She also has a crush on your soulmate and plans to confess this Friday..unless, an accident happens to her." she said softly. Oswald frowned deeply, paling. "W-why are you telling me this..? What am I supposed to do..?" he asked nervously. The woman chuckled. "Kill her of course..I want something awful to happen to that little bitch." she growled angrily. It was clear this woman had a grudge against the other girl and Oswald couldn't help but smirk slightly.
"Okay..fine..I can figure that out..who are you by any chance..?" he asked softly. The woman chuckled slightly. "Fish..that's all you need to know..I suggest you rest. It might be a little difficult killing her in the morning.." she said before hanging up. Oswald slept uneasily that night, dreaming of Edward and fearing he'd lose him. The next morning, he left for school and started his routine of stalking Ed and that girl. Kristen huffed at Ed. "I can't believe you overslept again! I am not your personal alarm clock Ed! You need to start waking up earlier!" she said angrily. Ed looked away sheepishly, biting his lip nervously. "Well, if..if it bothers you so much we can stop walking to school together.." he said nervously as he fidgeted. Kristen frowned suddenly, raising her hands up.
"No..that..that isn't what I..ugh! Just forget it okay! I want you to meet me at the school rooftop at lunch time! Got it?" she asked with a huff, blushing. Ed frowned curiously. "Why?" he asked softly. Kristen sighed and pouted. "Just be there alright? And don't keep me waiting." she said softly, smiling slightly. Oswald smirked, watching them go to class and followed, making sure they couldn't see. 'How do I get rid of her? Stab? Poison? So many options..' he thought to himself with a chuckle. He walked to class, seeing Kristen with two bags of lunch on her desk.
He thought for a moment, tilting his head as he took a look and saw one of them had Edward's name in green written on it with cute question marks. His face reddened with hidden rage and he growled quietly. How dare she?! He had no choice. This bitch had to die..he couldn't let her have his precious Edward. He needed to be clever about this however..that's what his mother had always told him if he wanted to eliminate others who wanted his soulmate. After the first two classes and during break time, Oswald saw Kristen run to take a phone call near the bathrooms. He followed her, listening in on her conversation. "Why the hell are you calling me while I'm at school?! We are done! There is nothing you can say that will make me come back to you! Stop calling me or I swear I'll call the cops and-" she started to rant only to freeze, frowning and paling.
"N-no..no please don't release those..I..I don't want those pictures out in the open..please..don't do anything rash okay..?" she asked shakily. Oswald smirked widely as he listened in before texting Fish. 'So Kristen is having quite the phone conversation..it seems she might have not such a friendly ex..' he texted. Fish immediately responded. 'Oh I know all about that..a college boy named Tom Dougherty. He's a heavy drinker and has numerous charges of domestic abuse.' was the response. Oswald smirked a little, eyes darkening slightly. Perhaps..he could use this to his advantage. If he wanted Kristen dead, he'd also have to get rid of Dougherty..make it look like a murder suicide..'Where does he go to college..?' he sent her. Fish grinned before sending him another text. 'Gotham University. Not too far from here if you're planning to kidnap him.' she sent.
Oswald grinned. 'Oh I am..it's the perfect plan..I either make him kill her or frame him for murdering her..perhaps framing will be better..' he sent before he stood back up. At lunch time however, put some emetic poison in Ed's food to make him sick to sabotage Kristen's little 'gift'. When Kristen returned, Oswald went and watched it from his hiding spot with a devilish smirk. Kristen shyly handed Ed the lunch with a blush. "Here." she said. Ed smiled a little. "What..what's that?" he asked softly. Kristen huffed. "It's a bag of lunch stupid!" she said simply. Ed giggled. "You made me lunch?" he asked happily. Kristen squeaked. "Hey, don't get the wrong idea! I..I didn't make it for you! I just..made too much food this morning! So..you can have the extras!" she said with a huff. Ed smiled happily, eyes sparkling. "Thank you so much Kristen!" he said with a cute giggle, sitting down. Kristen blushed and hid her face. "S-shut up and eat it..d-dummy.." she said with a pout.
Ed grinned, eating the salad Kristen had prepared for him and humming happily at the taste only to frown and wince as his stomach started to hurt badly. He whined. "Ugh..what did you put in this..?" he groaned. Kristen frowned. "Hey, you shouldn't insult the salad I made! I worked hard on it!" she said with a huff.
Ed groaned, whining. "My stomach hurts..I..I should go..I'm sorry..oh my.." he whined as he got up and ran to the bathroom. Kristen frowned, crying nervously. "Ed! Wait! What..what did I do wrong..?" she asked herself with a sniff. Oswald laughed insanely and smirked widely before going to follow Kristen. It seemed her favorite after school spot was standing behind a fan on the roof. He grinned, keeping this in mind before going to find Dougherty. He found Tom using a screwdriver to fix his dorm door.
Once it was night time, he sneaked in and used leather gloves to pick it up. At school Tuesday, Oswald followed Kristen to the roof top at lunch time. Ed had chosen not to have lunch with her today which was understandable. Kristen stood alone in front of the fan, looking sad. Oswald grinned, unscrewing the bolts on the fan and once it was loose and the blades were exposed, he grabbed Kristen by her hair, making her scream.
"Ow! Stop! NO!" she cried as Oswald shoved her head first into the fan with a laugh as he watched her head get torn off in the blades. He left the screwdriver with Tom's dna in the blood puddle before running away to clean himself off. After he was clean, he quickly went to class and smiled when he heard about a murder on school grounds. Edward caught wind quick of Kristen's death and seemed miserable about it, crying all day after. When the school day ended, Oswald stalked Ed until he was home safe and then went to his own home after Tom Dougherty was arrested for Kristen's death.
He texted Fish again. 'It's done. Kristen Kringle is dead.' he sent with a manic grin. Fish chuckled before sending another text. 'Oh you aren't done yet my little Penguin. Another girl has eyes on your Edward. A girl named Liza. She's a part of the cooking club.' she texted. Oswald frowned, eyes widening. "What?! Who is she?" he growled as he texted her this. Fish giggled. 'A very sweet girl. All pink and loves to bake. She'll steal Ed's heart with a simple smile.' Oswald growled at this, frowning. 'I won't let that hussy have him!' he texted before he went to sleep, dreaming of how he'd destroy Liza.
