Well I had this done and no one told me if they wanted the other half of Mina and Flippy's relationship or Millie and her love interest. So yeah here is this.
New Home, New Lives Chapter 2
Mina flops onto her back, snuggling a pillow. She was bored to say the least. She was supposed to have a date with Flippy but thanks to his other half that wouldn't be happening. Flippy had called her that morning to let her know she wouldn't be able to make it since Fliqpy was giving him a hard time.
She still hadn't met his other half even though it had been a month since they had slept together. Part of her wanted to meet him but Flippy wouldn't allow it. Any sign of an issue and all their plans would be dropped and Flippy locked himself up in his house. It upset Mina, but she understood.
Since she and Millie moved in they'd met a handful of people. Some they liked, some they didn't. They'd also learned of the town's curse. Both having died numerous times already.
Just a few days ago, while cooking, Millie had managed to cut her own hand off. She'd bled to death as a result. Last week, while walking to the cafe to meet up with Flippy, Mina was hit by a truck. The truck was driven by none other than Lumpy. Mina died from internal bleeding.
Another time, a few weeks prior, Mina and Flippy were leaving the movie theater; it was raining so Flippy opened the umbrella he'd brought. And then was struck by lightening, Mina attempted to pry the umbrella from his hands only to be electrocuted. Both disintegrated.
Mina and Millie had each fallen into their own pattern. A death every few days. It was all the norm now.
Mina smiles to herself as she doses off into her afternoon catnap.
It turned out to be longer than a nap however. When Mina awoke it was dark, the patter of rain on the roof. That's not what had woken her though. As her senses adjusting she heard voices.
Great, she had been given the honor of being robbed by Shifty and Lifty today. Mina rolled her eyes, remembering the last time they tried to rob them. It had ended in all four of their deaths.
It was about a week or so after they moved in, Shifty and Lifty had bound and gagged them, making their way through the house. Millie had gone still next to her, poor thing died from fright. Shifty tripped on the carpet, cracking his head open on the table. Lifty showed concern for his brother until he seen the bag of loot the dead raccoon had dropped, laughed, and then picked it up. After adding it to his own he began to leave. Out the front door of all places. His bag got caught on the door. After pulling for a while the bag split and a vase shattered on his face. He began screaming in pain, running out into the street where he was hit by a car then mauled by a stray dog. Mina had felt herself slipping the entire time, she'd realized she was suffocating but couldn't do much about it. She eventually slipped into death until the morning.
Mina just thought of the deaths as an awful sleep, really.
Back in the present, Mina listened to the twins argue. By the sound of their voices she predicted they were in the living room. Also from the amount of noise they were making they must have thought no one was home.
After about ten minutes of listening she realized they wouldn't be leaving soon. Getting out of bed, quietly, she reaches for her nightstand drawer intent on getting the pistol Flippy had given her for a situation like this.
She'd told him she'd gotten rid of all her equipment from the war, besides her uniform. In response he gave her a pistol the next day and, for good measure, made sure she still knew how to use it. She did, of course, but was touched about how much he cared even if it meant possibility setting him off. She quietly searched the drawer until the sound of something shattering pierced the somewhat silence.
Mina felt herself freeze up. She knew she was going to black out. It had been a while since she had. She never knew what happened when she blacked out except that she would go missing.
It started out just as she remembered, she began hyperventilating. Then she collapsed onto the floor with a thud, most-likely alerting the crooks downstairs. Though with her vision fading she couldn't really careless. She'd be gone for who knows how long this time. She just hoped she wouldn't worry Millie or Flippy sick. As she slipped into the black void of her mind she could hear a somewhat familiar voice.
"Show time~."
"You idiota!" Shifty screamed at his brother, "Do'ya know-" A thud from the second floor interrupted him.
Lifty looked up from the mess of the vase at his feet, "Aren't the gals supposed to be out?"
Shifty nods, "Millie is supposed to be at work and Mina is should be on a date wit' Army Boy," he frowned, "Which would leave it to someone try'n ta take our score."
Lifty watched his brother walked toward the staircase, "What are ya-"
"Clean up that mess," Shifty interrupted him before walking up the stairs.
Lifty grumbled to himself, cursing in *spanish as he scoops up the glass fragments; he really hated his twin at times, why couldn't he be in charge for once or plan at least plan a heist?
After thinking awhile on where to discard the broken vase he realized the girls would notice if it was missing; so instead he scattered the pieces close to the table he'd taken it from before. There it looked as if it just fell off. Now that asshole would see he wasn't stupid.
Speaking of his brother where was he? He should have been back by now even if he decided to snag some jewelry or other valuables upstairs. Then again his brother was a bit of a perv. Dude could have been up there sniffing panties for all he knew.
Walking over to the staircase, "Hey, Shifty, I think we should g-" he was interrupted by a thuds from the stairs, stepping back the young raccoon watched as his twin's body fell down the stairs. Lifty instantly knew he was dead, he swallowed, trying to hold back his fear. Footsteps made him jump, they sounded heavy as if the person was wearing boots. Soon there was a pair of eyes staring at him. Green, a kind of green that filled him with dread.
"Fliqpy, w-what are you doing here? I-I thought-" his words became lost as the person stepped out of the shadows.
She was a blonde cat. Her hair wavy, long, and unkempt. She wore a red mini dress, black combat boots and black fingerless gloves. Her eyes were not exactly the same color as Fliqpy's; they were actually an extremely light olive green, instead of a yellow-green. Lifty would go as far to say that the girl was hot, if it wasn't for the fact that she'd just murdered his twin and the just plain unsettling feeling she was giving him
Said cat was examining her hands, clenching and unclenching her fists. She cracked a smile, revealing teeth even to sharp for a cat.
Lifty gulped, as the girl let out an eerie, almost childlike, giggle, "*Nothin' like a strangulation to get the circulation goin'." Her voice was sultry but laced with malice.
She finally seemed to notice Lifty's presence. Her eyes went between him and the dead raccoon at her feet for a second, she cracked another smile, "You must be 'Hat''s brother."
"His name is Sh-shifty," why was she making small talk instead of killing him? The cat gave an unsympathetic hum.
Silence fell between the two; after a moment the girl raised an eyebrow, her whiskers twitched. Lifty realized, much to his confusion, she was waiting for him to introduce himself.
"A-and I'm Lifty."
The cat nodded, then proceeded to step over Shifty's corpse; Lifty gulped taking a step back.
The girl ignored him; she walked behind him, stopping at the broken vase. Lifty watched her the entire time, starting to sweat. The girl knelt over the shattered mess, then tsked, "This vase was really expensive ya know? One of a kind is what the seller said." She then shrugged, "Not like it really matters though Mina just wanted to spend money on something. They sure do give you a lot when you're honorably discharged."
Lifty's eyes widen, realization hitting him, "M-mina?"
The girl stood and cracked a wicked grin at the raccoon, "I prefer to be called *Meana."
Meana soon closed the distance between them; the raccoon yelped and stumbled back, falling over his dead twin. Lifty knew he was going to die, it scared him. What scared him more his that it was taking so long and that she was just playing with him.
"J-just kill me already."
With a pout, Meana knelt beside him, "What's the fun in that, though?"
Lifty whimpered, tearing up.
"Besides," she continued, "I need some information."
When the raccoon didn't respond, she spoke, again, "The name you said earlier," a pause, "Where is he?
Lifty looked at her, bewildered, "At home I th-think. Since Flippy and Mina didn't have their date."
Another pause.
It was silent, excluding Lifty's shaky breathes.
Meana narrowed her eyes, "Address, Moron?"
Lifty felt as if he should question it but he thought against it and have her the address.
"Good boy,~" Meana cooed. "As a reward for your compliance, I will make this quick and mostly painless."
Instantly Lifty knew the meaning behind her words and before he could protest something jagged ran along his throat, slitting from ear to ear. He knew it was a shard of the vase.
Meana watched the raccoon gurgle up blood. After a few moments the greenette had drowned in the crimson liquid.
Meana licked the blood from the shard before discarding it. A giggle escaped her throat, and soon she went into hysterics.
God it felt good to have fun after so long.
So there's Chapter 2. Don't ask why Meana is a different color from Mina. I know it doesn't really make any sense. My only explanations are it was easier for me to differentiate them and I like mystery, meaning I enjoy seeing what people think is to why she's that way.
And now for the asterisks.
1. I have a headcanon that Shifty and Lifty are spanish or mexican. Not because they steal things but because of they way they sound.
2. If you get the reference you are amazing.
3. Its pronounced Meh-anna.
And once again same as the end of the last chapter: Meana or Fliqpy or Millie and her love interest? Obvious hint: One will involve a lot of blood and violence. You get a cookie if you know which and you get a chocolate cake if you can figure out Millie and her love interest before its announced. (This is of course metaphoric. Haha)
