Sequel to :Release:
fourth and final installment of the Head Case Chronicles
Cain and DG go in search of Glitch, afraid of leaving him alone with his brain gone. Can they help their friend recover from his loss?
Ok this is first person double up. It's told in the point of view of both DG and Cain
the bold is DG the italic is Cain and underlined is both thinking in unison.
Also Raw was standing in the room with Glitch, connecting him to Ambrose and he didn't leave after Ambrose died. (in case it looks like he just popped outta nowhere)
Looking.
Searching.
High and low.
Calling.
Calling.
"GLITCH?"
But not finding.
Coming to the door.
Reaching the brain room.
Hoping he wasn't in there.
Praying he was anywhere else.
Knowing that was exactly where he was.
Grasping the handle.
Taking a breath. Pushing silently.
There he was, sitting motionlessly.
Where I knew he d be.
Where I wish he wasn't.
There was Glitch.
staring at a jar.
Examining his brain.
Crying.
Approaching softly.
Advancing carefully.
Taking his hand comfortingly.
Patting his shoulder bracingly.
"He-he's gone " Glitch croaks.
Looking him over
Watching him carefully
Checking his eyes.
Cold eyes.
Sad eyes.
So different from him.
Not like Glitch.
"Glitch, listen. I know this is hard. But it- it s what he wanted."
Nodding along. "Yeah he said it himself this was his choice. He wanted to give you a life. Let you live." fumbling the words.
Glitch rolls his eyes.
But his mouth twitches.
A smile.
A small one, but a smile just the same.
"Yeah I guess." He sighs. "I never really expected to get my marbles back. I guess. I just wanted to know where they were really and... I don t know find out What I'd been like."
"Not much different."
"Almost exactly the same from what the queen says. Far more optimistic than anyone has a right to be."
A Wider smile.
A small nod.
A little laugh.
There s Glitch.
He turns and walks back out, Raw a little behind.
Following right along.
"You know what Ambrose said when we first found him? He was jealous of me. Because of you guys. He said he never had friends who would throw themselves off cliffs or jump out windows into frozen lakes-"
Grinning slightly
Cringing noticeably.
"Or-or-or Face down an evil witch. All to keep me safe. I said that isn't why you did those things but-Well he was always the smart one so I guess he had a point."
"Glitch? You re rambling."
"Oh." Another laugh. "Well. I guess the point is my brain decided you three were the best thing that ever happened to me. And if all it cost was one pompous oversized brain, I got the fair end of the trade."
Leaving the castle.
Walking outside.
Entering the garden.
Looking at the suns.
It ll take time to heal.
It ll be a while before everything settles down.
Glitch begins humming.
We're going to be alright.
The end and Im never doing first person double up again.
