Ch.2

Alone No More!

"I don't do friends" Rachel simple stated

"Why not?" Garfield ask innocently

"Trust me, if you knew who I really was you wouldn't want me around!" Rachel said as she looked away

"I know enough!" Richard whispered as he touched her shoulder

Rachel glanced over at him and gave him a genuine smile. For the first time in a long time she felt wanted, as if she belonged. A thought just hit her, home...her father!

"What time is it?" Rachel asked in a panic

"Uh like almost 5 o'clock why?" Vic glanced at his phone

Rachel's eyes widen as she tried to get up but completely forgot about her newly swollen and bruised rib-cage, she as quick as she got up she fell down.

"Damn" Rachel whispered to herself as she closed her eyes in pain

"Rachel!" Kory came to her side to help her up

"I'm fine, but I really need to get home...before my dad freaks" Rachel quickly add the last part

Victor picked up Rachel "Where do ya live?" Victor asked as they went to his car

"Raven RD" Rachel said as they helped her in the car

"Dude that make like a killer nickname for you!" Gar said excitedly when he got in the car

"What?" Rachel was confused

"Don't mind him, he is always coming up with nicknames for people" Richard said as he got in the car

"Oh yes he has give me and Richard the nicknames Starfire and Robin!" Kory said as she placed Rachel's stuff in the car when she got in it

"Yeah, but I cant think of a good one for me and Victor!" Gar whined

"Hey I came up with one for you! Grass Stain!" Victor teased as he started the car

"Oh yeah! How about Meat Freak for you!" Gar mocked Victor of his love for meat

"How about I slap you up side the head!" Vic quickly came back


There dispute over food carried on throughout the whole car ride. Victor bashed on how Gar ate tofu, while Gar ragged Victor over how many animals are kill for meat that Vic loved so much. After awhile they reached Rachel's house.

"Here let me help you in side!" Victor said as he was about to carry her in

"No! Uh my dad doesn't exactly...well he would freak if I brought inside by a guy!" Rachel had think of the right word to say

"I think under the circumstances he wouldn't mind" Richard stated

"You don't know my dad, unless he approves of someone first he'd flip if I brought anyone over" Rachel explained

"Look thanks for everything, but I think I can handle it from here!" Rachel grabbed her stuff and started to walk to her house but the looked back at them

"Uh maybe I'll uh...we could um..." Rachel tried to find the right words

"Yes Rachel?" Kory asked her with lights in her eyes

"I guess we uh could hang out tomorrow or something if thats ok?" Rachel blurred with a small blush

"Oh yes friend Rachel!" Kory said as she embraced Rachel in a killer bear hug

"Uh Kory don't!" Richard quickly said as he tried to stop her and look sympathetic towards Rachel

"Ahhh...Kkk..or...rrry...y...ou...rr...hurting...me" Rachel said weakly

"Oh I am soo sooo sorry friend Rachel!" Kory quickly apologized

"Its ok...I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" Rachel said as it came out more like a question

"You can count on it!" Gar said with a goofy smile and a sharp tooth at the bottom right corner

"Wait here let me see your phone!" Richard state

"Why?" Rachel asked as she handed him the phone

"Our numbers, in case you need help or anything, you know who to call!" Richard stated

"Thanks for everything!" Rachel quietly said as she gave them a smile

After saying there goodbyes the rest of the gang got in the car and waited till Rachel got in side before leaving. Rachel made her way in the the home quietly suddenly Rachel heard a door slam shut, she quickly made a dash for her room which luck for her wasn't in the path of her father's room. Rachel quickly and quietly shut her door and locked it, and hooped in her bed and pulled the sheets over her body. Suddenly the lock to her door clicked unlocked, her father opened it.

"I SWARE TO GOD RACHEL YOU BETTER BE IN THIS ROOM!" Trigon hollered as he opened the door

"Ye-yes dad?" Rachel said trying to sound like she was asleep

"Get up! Mr. Wilson and his daughter are coming over, I need you to clean the house and make dinner!" Trigon barked

"Oh wear some thing that doesn't make you look like a rag doll!" Trigon hissed

*What? Rose is...oh god why? As if it isn't bad enough I have to deal with her and the band of assholes whenever they see me, but now at home to? Plus her creep of a dad is coming over?* Rachel grimly thought she took 4 pills of ibuprofen then did as her father told


Rachel pulled the meatloaf out of the oven and placed it with the rest of the food, she then headed up stairs a put on one of the outfits Trigon bought her when a business associates comes over. Rachel knew she'll hear Rose harass her about her outfit tomorrow. Rachel place make up on where ever her bruises showed and then did her hair. Soon the doorbell ranged her father answered it, Rachel to much of her dismay came down the stairs. She then saw Mr. Wilson creep his way in the house with an angry

looking daughter.

"Hello dear Rachel, you look most exquisite this evening!" Mr. Wilson proclaimed in a cocky creepy way

"Thanks" Rachel said she always hated his cocky 'I'm better then everyone' creep like voice

"Rose why don't you and Rachel set the plates while Trigon and I discuses some issues" Mr. Wilson eery voice spoke

Rose merely rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth as their fathers left the room.

"You better not say shit to him!" Rose grabbed Rachel's collar as she hissed

"Or what?" Rachel glared at her though she would never tell her father anyway

"Or else the rest of your high school life will be miserable!" Rose slyly remarked

"It already is" Rachel hissed back at her as she freed herself and went to set the table

Rose just sat at the table texting her friends with head phones on. By the time Rachel finished setting the table Trigon and Mr. Wilson sat at the table.

"Wow Rachel this looks delightfully good!" Mr Wilson spoke

"Thank you Mr. Wilson" Rachel tried her best to be polite

"No need to be so formal Rachel, please call me Slade" Slade slithered each word

"Dear daughter, get us the wine" Trigon shot a glare at Rachel

"Which one? Schmitt Sohne Reisling, or the Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling?" Rachel asked as

"The Schmitt" Trigon replied

"So are we still going to that show tonight?" Slade asked Trigon

"Of course, but are you sure the girls should come?" Trigon asked uncertain

"Oh yes, they are much older now! In fact Rose had already been to one" Slade hissed

"What show?" Rachel asked as she came back with the wine

"You will find out later" Trigon said as Rachel poured them wine


After dinner both everyone climbed in Trigon's SUV and headed to the 'show'. Though when they got there they were not at some movie theater or play but at a warehouse with suspicious looking people out side the entrance, though that had not surprised Rachel at the least. What truly surprised her was what the 'show' was! As they entered the warehouse the smell of alcohol was fuming the air, and in the center of the warehouse was a round ring looking pit.

"Dad what kind of a show is this?" Rachel asked a little afraid of the answer

"She wont be able to handle it dad" Rose whispered to Slade

"Just take this money and go bet on number 12 and only 12" Trigon handed her the money which was over 5000 dollars

"Uh ok..." Rachel left to place her father's bet

After placing the bet Rachel received a ticket which stated who her father bet on. On her way back Rachel noticed Red standing near some suspicious looking people. He would be at a place like this, though Rachel wished she knew what this place was. Rachel made her way back to her seat and handed her father his ticket. The lights dimmed as sighs of the 'show' starting. Two people carrying cages came out of two different doors, they opened the cages one very muscular pit-bull came out the other looked no more than a puppy. One wore a number 6 on it while the other had a number 12 of it.

"Dad?" Rachel looked in horror

"Shut up and watch!" Trigon whispered venomously

The stronger dog then leaped at the small one viciously, to say the least in Rachel's eyes it was one of the most heartbreaking and gruesomest thing she had to witness. Rachel let a tear escape her as she watched the poor animal be attacked, at one point she couldn't watch no more. There was much blood by the end of the fight, the owner merely threw the pup out the back door.

"Look at that I won the pot!" Trigon looked pleased

"Can we leave? This is sick!" Rachel said as she felt sick to her stomach

"Told you" Rose smirked

"Sure Rachel dear, your father has earned his winnings and the rest of the show isn't in our favor anyway" Slade's eery voice echoded in Rachel's head

"Hey how did you know which one to pick?" Rose asked Trigon

In response Trigon just smirked as he went to collect his winnings. Rose noticed Red and went to talk with him, leaving Slade and Rachel alone.

"Oh Rachel you look more like your oh so wonderful mother everyday!" Slade whispered in her ear as he crept behind her and held on to her arms

"...Oh i-is that so?" Rachel grew nervous she turned around to face him

A thought came to Rachel, that puppy, she knew she couldn't just let the poor thing die alone like that.

"I have to go to the bath room" Rachel as she made her way to that back door

When she got out there she found the poor pup shaking and bloody, Rachel found an old blanket in the trash and wrapped the dog in it. She carried it to the car, she then grabbed the hidden key under the car and opened the back and placed the puppy.

"I know your hurt little angel, but please be quiet?" Rachel begged as she put the key back and went back inside

"Where were you?" Trigon barked

"Uh bath room, uh are we leaving?" Rachel tried to change the subject

"Yes we are, Rose come on we are leaving!" Slade ordered

By the time they had gotten back it was around 8 o'clock. Slade and Rose had then left leaving Trigon and Rachel. Trigon march himself to his room to make 'business calls' thats when Rachel went to the car. She got the hidden key and took the pup out of the car, she then quietly brought it to her room.

"Its a good thing I hid a first aid kit in my room!" Rachel spoke to the animal as she washed the blood off and wrapped up the puppy

"I sure hope you'll be ok..." Rachel made a bed for the puppy in her bath room in case her father came in

"Night" Rachel soon fell asleep


The next morning Rachel got up early, she had checked on the puppy to see if it survived the night. Thankfully it had, but now a problem came what if the puppy makes noises and her father finds it? What will she feed it? Rachel knew she hadn't think this through but what could she do? She wasn't about to let the dog die like that! Rachel didn't have time to ponder though she had to get ready for school! Rachel grabbed a quick shower and put on a black long sleeved shirt and her old hoodie. She did her hair and make-up, she also wore her dark blue skinny jeans, and when she reached to put her phone in her pocket a thought came to her. Richard and the others! She felt a little awkward calling them so soon, but she needed to! She decided to call Garfield since he is an animal lover.

"Uhhhhh hellooo" a groggy Garfield answered

"Uh Gar is that you, its me Rachel" Rachel asked

"Yeah, whats up its like...5:30am" Gar moaned

"I know and I'm sorry to call so early but I need help!" Rachel tried to get to the point

"What?" Gar woke up a bit

"I...found this really injured puppy and I can't keep it here, my dad would flip!" Rachel mustered up a good enough story that was half true

"Ok...uh I'll get Vic to pick you up around 6:30 and you can leave it at my place!" Gar said as he got up

"Ok thanks a bunch Gar...this means a lot to me! bye" Rachel spoke

"See ya soon!" Gar said as he hung up

"Well looks like I found you a place to stay for now" Rachel gentle petted the puppy

Rachel brought the puppy the leftover meatloaf so it could eat something and gave it a bowl of water as well. Rachel went to eat some thing as well, she grabbed at bagel and toasted it. She also made herself a lunch since she could only find about 3 bucks which will go to the herbal tea later. Soon the hour went by and Rachel brought the puppy down to the front door to wait for Victor and Garfield.

"Hey Rae come on!" Gar popped his head out the window when the pulled up

"Coming! That's the nice guy who will watch you!" Rachel whispered to the puppy as she carefully brought the it in the car

"Thanks for helping me" Rachel looked at the puppy

"Aww it soo cute! Is it a boy or girl?" Gar looked at it

"Uh I haven't really looked" Rachel didn't even think to check

"Hmm oh its a boy, aww duude look how cute he is Vic!" Gar was love struck over the cuteness of the puppy

"Yea, yea, just make sure he don't pee on my seat!" Victor held in the urge to go gaa-gaa over the pup

"What are you going to call him?" Gar asked

"Hmm I don't know...how about Azerath?" Rachel thought


They soon drove the puppy to Garfield's house and left her in the backyard, leaving his parents a note. Gar explained how his parents wouldn't mind since they rescue animals as a job. And soon they were on there way to pick up Kory and Richard and headed to the school. When they got there, they were running late to class.

"Duude like we gotta hurry!" Gar said as he leaped out of the car

"Yea, Mr. Light will kill us if were late again!" Victor hurried out of his car

Rachel, Kory, and Richard also hurried out of the car, Vic locked it as they rushed to class. The warning bell rang and Kory and Rachel were way behind Victor, Gar and, Richard. Victor then grabbed both Rachel and Kory to his sides and speed to their class which was still across campus.

"Eeep" Kory squealed as Victor grabbed her while Rachel just crossed her arms

"WE'RE HERE!" Gar shouted as he burst through the door

"GAR WRONG ROOM!" Richard shouted as he passed the class room Garfield interrupted

"oh hehehe sorry!" Gar scratched the back of his head as he speed out the class, leaving a now laughing classroom he quickly passed Richard

"WE'RE HERE!" Gar finally entered their proper class while the others entered behind him

"Soo good for you four to join us!" Mr. Light teased as the class laughed at Garfield

"Actually us five Mr. Light!" Kory said as her and Rachel were placed down

"Hmmm so it seems" Mr. Light noticed Rachel

"Hello school please except all tardys this morning thank you!" a lady on the announcements boomed

"Awww come on why didn't you say that sooner!" Gar shouted at the speaker as he flopped in his seat

"Why is Rachel coming to school those crud bucket guys?" Mikron whispered to Angel and Jinx

"I dunno" Jinx whispered back kinda uninterested

Rachel was about to claim her seat but notice at paper taped to her seat saying "Freaky Goth Girl".

"How juvenile!" Rachel mumbled when she ripped it off her seat and sat down

"Piss...Richard look at Fang's eye!" Roy whispered

"Hmm, whoa wha...oh heh" Richard gazed at Fang realizing who gave him that beautifully placed black eye

*Nice shot Rae* Richard thought

Baran started shaking Rachel's desk like he always does, Rachel quickly grew aggravated with the over sized mammoth. She felt the urge to just punch him in the face, but part of was a little to afraid to. Rachel isn't afraid of the other jerks but she was afraid of Baran. He was the most abusive one out of them all. Sure The others were creeps who did more than mentally abused her but they couldn't compare to Baran, even put together! Baran was older, much stronger, and ten times dumber. Rachel wouldn't stand a chance fending him off. Rachel simply tried her best to ignore him, but that seemed to make him shake more. Victor noticed it though, he quickly grew anger.

"Hey yea over sized dumb shit, why don't ya pick on someone your own size?" Victor taunted Baran

"Whatdcha called me?" Baran barked as he stood up

"Yea heard he! What did your stupidity effect your ears too?" Victor egged him as he got up

"Oooooh yea gonna take that Baran?" Adonis semi mocked

"Hell no!" Baran swiftly swung at Vic but he quickly grabbed his arm and tossed him to the ground

"What you only can fight a defenseless girl?" Victor hissed as he was about to punch Baran again

"No stop!" Rachel tried to end the scrap by grabbing Vic's arm, though part of her was happy Vic owed Baran

"Yes this is quiet enough!" Mr. Light intercepted the fight

"Baran, Victor to the come on to the principle's office now!" Mr. Light took them

"Stay seated till the sub comes in!" Mr. Light barked as they left

"This is all Rachel's fault!" Kitten hissed loudly to her friends, making sure the class heard

"Rachel's fault? How on earth is it her fault?" Richard snapped

"Look what she did to my Fangy-Poo! The girl is nuts!" Kitten lied

"Fucking witch gave me a black eye!" Fang raged

"She only did that cause you guys are a bunch of creeps!" Gar shouted

"Hoop off you cruddy green troll!" Mikron mocked lamely

"Do NOT call my friend the troll! You Klorbag Varblermelk!" Kory spoke in her Temerainen language

"Uh Kory whats a Klor...Varmelka whatever it is you said?" Terra asked innocently

"A very not nice word!" Kory innocently stated

"Stop, you guys don't need to do this!" Rachel tried to calm the other

"Would you guys cut it out! The sub is coming and I'm pretty sure no one else what to get suspended!" Antoni stated with her lovely British accent as she raced back to her seat

"Alright everyone sit down and hush up and read whatever chapter your on!" the sub ordered while the class groaned


By the end of the class period Rachel felt horrified! She knows they are going to retaliate much worse now, but she was mostly upset she had dragged others in her mess also! Victor probably got suspended, and the others got into an insult argument with Kitten and her headless goons! Which will mean a all out war eventually.

*Why is life getting so complicated?* Rachel thought stressful as she walked to 2nd period

"Rachel! Why didn't you tell me I had competition?" Malchior whined as he came out of no where

"Compe...Wha? Look I do not nor will I ever like you!" Rachel tried to push pass him

"All I heard was 'like you'" Malchior crept closer

"I am not in the mood for this!" Rachel tried to continue walking

"But I'm in the mood" Malchior tried to sooth her over, but he is failing epicly

"Please just leave me alone!" Rachel begged

"Come on babe!" Malchior pushed

"Hey you you heard the lady, leave her alone!" Gar placed his arm around Rachel's shoulder as he pulled her far away from him

"Gar please, I can handle this creep myself! And Kitten and her goons!" Rachel tried to stop him and the others

"Look how well that turned out for you!" Gar motioned to her still bruised sides

"..." Rachel grew silent as she looked away

"You think your alone, Rachel, but your not!" Garfield stood his ground

"I'm sorry...they break your heart!" He continued

Rachel swiftly turned around and gave Gar a hug, letting a tears escape her eyes.

"I just don't want you guys to get hurt!" Rachel cried

*Finally got through this one! I hope I can get atleast two done in the next week! I'm going to babysit my nieces in another state so I might not get to work on this story as much! But I do hope yo people like whats going on so far! Leave a comment and tell me what you guys think!*
