New story alert!!
Grim Jr. was angry.
He had just lost his little sister…it was all his fault. If only he hadn't yelled and turned his back on her. What a great way to live the rest of your life.
Trapped in his own sadness, Jr. lay unconscious in the Pumpkinator. His powers had won…they had taken control of him.
'Why did this have to happen?' Jr. asked mentally.
'You weren't able to control your own powers…' Jr. sat up in his dark prison.
"Who's there?"
Only darkness. Jr. sighed and fell back on his back. Staring into nothing, Jr. lifted his hand up to his only filled eye socket.
'Minnie…'Tears filled the eye and dripped off his face. Jr. fell to the floor in a heap.
Minnie looked down from the clouds. She looked up to the angel before her.
" This is heaven?"
The angel looked down at her and bent down.
"Yes, child. This is your new home."
Minnie averted her eyes. She didn't want a new home. She wanted her family…her brother. She touched her glowing-white wings. They weren't the same as her Nergal wings. She touched her white dress. It wasn't the same has her black and green attire. Tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't want this…she wasn't meant to be an angel.
The angel took Minnie's face by his large finger. "You do not want this?"
Minnie didn't even think about it. She shook her head and buried her face in her hands. "No…"
The angel looked over the clouds towards the underworld. He sighed.
"Why do you want to live in such a horrible place like that…why not live in a wonderful place like this?" The angel gestured towards the glowing gold gates.
Minnie looked up. "Is family not great? Brother is whom I want."
The angel took a step back in shock. "Your brother? But he is the one that let you die. He yelled at you when you saved his life. He is not worthy of your presence."
Again, Minnie shook her head. "No…brother's correct. I am a show off. It was right of him to say so."
Minnie placed a hand over her heart. "I wish to be with him…I long to be with him…"
The angel shook his head in misunderstanding. "Why? He is a fool, a coward. He radiates jealously for his perfect little sister."
Something in Minnie snapped. "No! Thou shall not mock mine brother! Thou shall not harm him!"
The angel grabbed her outstretched hand. "I am truly sorry. I did not know you loved him so much."
Minnie looked down. "I miss him…"
The angel looked up in determination. "And you shall see him!"
Minnie looked up in hope. "Truly?!"
"Yes." The angel confirmed and took off with Minnie in his arms.
"D-Damn it!" Jr. coughed as he watched the Pumpkinator kill more people. "Stop this! Stop killing people! Kill me instead!"
'Oh, no…I can't kill you. You are the source of my power, my strength.' The voice said.
Jr. growled. "If you're killing harmless people, you don't need me!"
The voice didn't respond.
Jr. slammed his fists into the cold floor. He punched it until is knuckles bled. Jr. coughed again.
"Shit." An enraged Jr. cursed.
'Minnie…please…tell me what to do!'"Brother!"
Jr. looked up in hope. "Minnie?"
Minnie flew outside the large, destructive pumpkin. "Brother! Do thou hear me? Brother?!"
"Minnie!"
Minnie looked around frantically for her brother. "Brother! Where is it that thou is hidden?"
"Minnie! You have to get away! Fly away! He'll get you!"
Minnie looked up, finally realizing who was standing before her. "B-Brother?"
"Minnie! Get away from here!"
Minnie still couldn't see him.
"Minnie! You can't help me…I'm trapped inside. I'm sorry…"
Minnie flew up to a small opening. "Brother! Are thou safe?"
Jr. looked at his surroundings. "Y-Yeah, I think so. But I keep hearing someone's voice like it's-!" Jr. was cut off from large tentacles wrapping around his torso.
"Ahh! Minnie! Get away! I-It's trying t-to eat me!"
Minnie gasped and flew to the cut out eye and flew inside. She flew until she was at the bottom.
"Brother?"
No answer.
"Brother?!"
Still no answer.
"Please! Brother!?"
"M-Minnie!" Minnie turned around instantly.
There was Jr. standing with one cut off tentacle in his hand. His eye was swelling with happiness. Minnie stared at Jr. She had never thought she would ever see something so beautiful. She ran forward and latched her arms around him.
"Brother!"
Jr.'s eye cried. He had never felt so happy. He wrapped his arms around Minnie's shoulders and pulled her closer. Minnie buried her face in his chest and cried. Has she ever cried before? No. She's always been so strong and powerful. But…in heaven, she felt so vulnerable. Now, in her brother's arms, she felt strong again.
"I missed you, Minnie." Minnie tightened her grip around Jr.
Jr. smiled under his dark hood.
'Oh, cry…this is such a touching moment…I would hate to ruin it.' The voice laugh rang through Jr.'s head.
Jr. pulled Minnie behind him and drew out his claws.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time…who are you!?"
'Hehehe! You still don't get it do you? I am the darkness of your mind…the evil thoughts that cloud your mind…jealousy, hate, power…I am you.'
Jr. cried out as a terrible pain flew through his head. Minnie yelled out.
"Brother! Who is the enemy that dares to harm thou?"
"Himself."
Minnie looked around. She had finally heard the voice. Jr. groaned as he fell to his knees. It felt as if something was trying to squeeze out of his mind. Then it all came to him like a ton of bricks; darkness.
Jr. grabbed his forehead and managed to say, "Minnie…y-you've got to…gah…you've got to run…leave me…I-I'll be okay."
Minnie could only watch as her brother collapsed on all fours. She fell to her knees and wrapped her arms around his middle, as he was about to fall on his stomach. Minnie bit her lip and whimpered. It agonized her to see her brother in this condition.
Jr. cried out again as he was quickly slipping out of consciousness.
"Minnie…" Jr. passed out.
Minnie pulled his head onto her lap and stroked his flushed face. Tears formed in her eyes.
"Brother…please be strong!"
It's so dark.
Jr. awoke in a strange, dark place.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Minnie? Mom? Dad?"
'Hahaha…you're so pitiful. Crying for your 'protectors'. No one's here to save you, Jr. You're alone.'
Jr. growled at the darkness. "Why don't you come out and show yourself?"
'Oh…I'm sorry to disappoint you…but, sadly, I can't come out…not yet at least.'
Jr. smirked into the darkness. "What? Are you too frightened to fight me alone?"
The voice's laugh rang through the darkness and even Jr. had to cover his hole-like ears.
'That's funny. You've got a lot of ego, kid. No…I just need more time…I'd say about 1 week tops.'
Jr. scowled. He didn't have a lot of time.
'That's all I wanted to tell you. You may go.'
The floor beneath Jr. disappeared and he fell into the forever lasting darkness.
Jr. woke up with a start. He blinked and rubbed his eyes. He sat up and looked around. He was at Jack's house. He looked down and saw that he was in the guest room bed. He lifted his legs and jumped out of bed.
Yawning, Jr. walked out the open door. Once he reached the main room, he heard voices. Hiding in the shadows, Jr. peaked over the threshold. His dad and mom were talking.
"…okay?" Grim asked to Mandy.
"Yeah, I finally got her to rest. She's in the guest room next to Jr.'s." Mandy responded.
Grim nodded. "Good. She deserves it. She's been with Jr. the whole time. She won't leave his side. By the way, how did you manage to get her to sleep?"
Mandy sighed. "It wasn't her choice. I had to knock her out. I swear her eyes were going to shrivel up from all the crying."
Grim nodded in understanding. "Oh, well…"
Jr. left at that moment. Minnie was crying over him? Why would she? He's been so cruel to her.
Jr. tiptoed up to Minnie's door. He quietly creaked open the door and waltzed in. His heart clenched at the scene before him.
Minnie was lying on her side. Many fresh tears covered her cheeks as she slept. She would whimper every so often and mutter his name.
Jr. walked up to his sister's bed and kneeled before her. He finally noticed that she was shivering. He pushed away some of the stray hairs that covered her tear-streaked face. Minnie whimpered and muttered, "Brother…please come back to me…"
Jr. bent down and whispered, "Don't worry, Minnie…I won't leave you again…"
Minnie's eyes fluttered open. Jr. smiled at her and pulled her into a hug. Minnie blinked a few times before she noticed who was hugging her.
"Brother!" Minnie cried as she slipped her arms around him tightly. "Thou are okay!"
Jr. nodded and sighed happily. He felt Minnie start to shake and he pulled away slightly. Tears cascaded down Minnie's cheeks as she buried her face into his chest.
"Minnie…shh…it's okay now." Jr. comforted.
Minnie only tightened her grip and cried out. Jr. frowned at his sister's condition and kissed her forehead. This seemed to help. Minnie's form relaxed and she pulled away slightly to look at his face.
Minnie traced circles around Jr.'s lips. Jr.'s eyes saddened and he took her hands in his.
"Minnie…you know we can't do this."
Minnie clenched her eyes shut at the fact that she can't be close to her brother.
"Minnie, you know I want to, too…but-." Minnie's lips slamming against his cut off Jr..
Minnie pulled away quickly and averted her gaze, but she didn't leave her spot. Jr. sighed and wrapped his arms around her. He rested his chin on the top of her head and stroked her hair. Minnie breathed in the scent of her brother.
"I'm sorry, brother. I-." This time, Jr. stopped Minnie.
His lips rubbed against hers. Shocked, Minnie froze. Jr. pulled away and smiled.
"It's okay, Minnie. I already know how it feels. And I was wrong. We can be together…but we have to keep it our secret."
Minnie's eyes sparkled in joy. She fell against Jr. and sighed.
"I'm so happy…" Minnie said as she slipped into a peaceful sleep about her new lover.
Yes! That was awesome! It was a longer chapter than I expected. Oh, well.
