As Thick As Blood Chapter 2
Author notes: Okay so this is the second chapter! I know, I know it's been awhile, but I
usually don't write in my free time, so I have to force myself to do it. Okay here we go!
At least it would have been a quite walk, but while daydreaming Kaput didn't
notice where he was going. He stepped in to a small pothole and tripped. "Ahhh! thud
owwww." Yami and Zosky turned around to see what happened. "Are you okay?" Yami
asked. "Yeah I think so." Kaput replied. "Can you stand up?" He tried but regretted it
immediately. He literally shrieked "Ahhhhhhhhh! Owowowowowow! It hurts it hurts!"
"Kaput!? What hurts?" Zosky asked, he was pretty worried by this point. "My ankle, it
hurts really badly. Almost like it's broken." "Here let me see it." Yami knelt down to
inspect his right ankle. "It's looks okay to me." "That's 'cause you're lookin' at the
wrong one." Yami looked up at him. "Really, wow I feel pretty stupid." She checked his
other ankle, Kaput hissed in pain. "Hey be careful with him!" Zosky snapped at her. Yami
just ignored him. "Well I don't think it's broken, but it does look badly sprained." Yami
stood up and dusted her self off, she paused then looked to Zosky. "Do you want to
carry him or should I?" she asked. "Don't I get a say in this?" Kaput asked in an agitated
tone, he was starting to get frustrated. Zosky turned back to Yami after Kaput finished
his little outburst. "I should probably carry him. It'll be less likely that he'll try to hit me
then you." "Yeah your probably right." Yami help Kaput get onto Zosky's back, then they
continued their walk back to the station.
They reached the gas station, but before Yami let them in, she filled them in on a
few things about her partner. "Okay guys, Prampter is… well he tends to be short with
people. So if you just do what he asks things will go a lot more smoothly for us all. Also,
for the love of Trizop, don't point out anything about his appearance or how he talks."
Yami lifted open the garage door on the side of the station. "Prampter! I'm back, I
brought those guys from the crashed ship!" Yami left Kaput and Zosky in the garage by
themselves. "What'd we do now?" Kaput asked, Zosky looked up at him in response. "I
think I'm going to help the attendant find this, Prompter or whatever his name is, so we
can get going as soon as possible." Zosky walked over to a cheap metal folding chair
that was in front a small table and a television. Zosky carefully deposited Kaput in to the
chair. "Just stay here, and don't do anything." "Like I could if I wanted too." Zosky was
surprised at Kaput quick and sort of snippy remark. He shook it off and took off towards
the same door at the back of the garage Yami slipped through moments earlier.
Although he would never openly admit it, Kaput had a fear of being left alone. "I-i-it's
ok-kay, n-n-n-othin' gonna h-h-appen. Maybe TV will help." Kaput fumbled with the
knobs until he came to something he could watch. Kaput did his best put all of his
attention on to the TV, so he didn't notice that someone was right behind him. That was
until he saw the being's shadow out of the corner of his eye. He let out a bloodcurdling
screech."AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Zosky and Yami heard him scream and bolted back to
the garage. Zosky grabbed the door handle, before Yami even had a chance to herself,
and flung the door open. "Kaput!-" was all he was able to shout out before Yami
tumbled in and landed on him. Zosky freed himself under the clumsy attendant, he heard
a gravely unfamiliar laughter, but that was not what his concern right then. Kaput was
still sitting in the chair, and looked liked he had just stared death in the face. He looked
pale and was shaking, also he was whimpering to himself. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Prampter,
the obvious source of the laughter, was struggling to keep himself standing at this point.
"Pampter! How could you? You've terrified the poor guy." Prampter was slowly stifling
his laughter. He looked over to Kaput and Zosky, Zosky was trying his best to comfort
Kaput. Prampter walked over to where Yami was standing. "Hey Yam, you're a girl."
"And your point would be?" Prampter looked back at Kaput and Zosky, then turned back
to Yami. "Ya think they're gay?" Yami ponder this for a moment. "Well, now that I think
about it. Kaput might be." "Kaput?" "The red haired one." Unbeknownst to the
attendants the two space travelers could clearly hear their conversation. Zosky was
doing everything he could not to laugh, but he still snickered. Kaput was not as amused,
his jaw was slack and he looked mad.
"Me?! How could they!? Why would they?! Grrrr…"Yami and Prampter mean
while were still conversing. "How would me being a girl give me any sort of
advantage in telling if people are homosexual or not?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because you watch 'Will & Grace' a lot." "You do realize that
they aren't actually gay, right? They're just acting." "…Shuddup. Besides dat, I thought
the yeller one was sorta effeminate-" Prampter was interrupted by a loud fit of giggles,
the tables had turned for Zosky and Kaput. "Listen you little smart ass just check
Kaput's ankle so we can leave." "Watch yar mouth, punk." The two walk away from their
respective companions to another. Zosky walked over to Yami, muttering obscenities
under his breath. "That little, I ought to, rrrrr….." Yami chuckled at Zosky's anger. "You
two are pretty insecure aren't you?" Zosky gaked at her, a little stunned at what she
said. "What?! I'm not gay, Kaput is especially not, not that I would know or any-" "YE-
OCH! Cut that out will ya?" Kaput had interuptend Zosky's little rant. "What are ya trying
to do? Rip it off?" Prampter shot him a quick glare, and mumbled obsinities under his
breath as he went back to completing his task. The whole room was dead silent, Zosky
hated that, when a room with people would suddenly stop talking. It felt awkward and it
made him feel stupid, so he tried talking to Yami again, choosing to stay away from the
earlier topic. "So, um...What's the news about here like?" Yami stared at him "That was
was really bad grammer, Zosky. ." "Harsh, what I meant was what has happened
recently?" "Well I guess the most interesting thing that's happened is the death of our
king..." This immediatly prevoked his interest, and he started formulating a plan
instantly with his cheeky, maniacal grin.
Author notes: Well that's the end of chapter two! I'll start working on chapter
three here in the next day or so. I would like to apologize to anyone who notices
any grammar or spelling errors about half way through. You see, my microsoftwoks
doesn't have a product number key so I have a limited number of times I can use it, and
I'm down to the signal digits so I move it to word pad. And yes Zosky said
a swear, I don't know why I did it but I thought it would be kind of funny. So that's it,
hoped you enjoyed!
