Cragster's Wish (Love and Death)
Chapter 3 - Last Breath, The Day We Meet Again
Back home, Seismo was laying on his bed, holding his gift that he was supposedly giving to Shuff. Shuff's gift was next to his bed, on the nightstand. Seismo wasn't even tired but sad, depressed and heart broken. He looks at the clock saying "11:59PM" and that's when a minute passed that quickly to "12:00AM". It was already Christmas Eve. Seismo looks at his gift and grips it tightly.
Seismo: "Well, Shuff. Here it is. Christmas Eve. Where we share gifts with each other..." (...) "...surprisingly." (Sheds tears)
Seismo wanted to hear a reply. But, all he can hear is silence. Seismo holds the gift tighter and sheds more tears.
Seismo: (...) "...Who am I kidding? How can me give gift to Shuff if he dead?" (...) "...Me hate life..." (Cries softly on his pillow)
Seismo is too heart broken to even think. That's when the windows came, slammed open by a strong wind. Seismo freaked out and tries to hide under his bed sheets or even tries to shut the windows and lock it. Suddenly...
Familiar Voice [In the air]: "Seismo..."
Seismo: (Gasps quietly)
That's where Shuff's gift lands on Seismo's bed and the wind stops blowing. Seismo felt like he was getting a heart attack. But, he manages to shut and lock the windows and look at Shuff's present and holds it.
Seismo: (...) "Shuff's gift... What am I...?"
Familiar Voice [In the air]: [Whispers] Open it..."
Seismo: (Gasps)
Seismo thought he was imagining things. But, it felt as someone behind him was whispering close to his ear. And it was telling him to open Shuff's gift. But... Why?
Familiar Voice [In the air]: [Whispers] "C'mon... Open it..."
Seismo: (Looks at the gift)
Seismo started to unwrap the gift and there was a lid on top of a small box. He was more confused as he was unwrapping the gift. Even to see a lid on the small box.
Seismo: (?) "Hm...?"
Familiar Voice [In the air]: [Whispers] "Look inside..."
Seismo: (!) (...)
Seismo started to open the lid of the small box. His eyes widen at what he saw. Inside the box was a golden locket with an "S" letter on the front. Seismo started shedding tears and begins to smile.
Seismo: (...) "...Shuff, this... This is best gift you given to me."
Seismo began to feel warm lips on the back of his head. He started to blush and his heart was racing. He would know the warmth of those lips. He began to hold the locket in his hand and puts the box on his nightstand.
Seismo: (...) "Sh...Shuff? Is it you? You with me, right?"
There was no answer but can only sense a familiar presence behind him. He must have heard and sensed Shuff's spirit.
Seismo: "Shuff... Me sorry about everything. Me sorry me no save you. And me sorry you no have gift on Christmas Eve. Me want us to be happy. And... Me wish we be together again. Well, you dead and all. And... Me not know what to do."
Seismo can feel something on the hand he was using to hold the locket. That's when Seismo tries to open the locket but it was too hard. He could also feel like something invisible was able to unlock the locket. As the locket opens, Seismo takes a look at the photos and his eyes widen. In the locket has pictures of him and Shuff when they were young children. Seismo's eyes continued to water. That's when he began to remember his childhood days with Shuff. The day Shuff was only a new born and befriended Seismo after helping him get his first steps (and even getting his knee wound healed). The day when Shuff was only 4 and their mother died in a car crash. Shuff was upset about it, thinking he was alone but Seismo was always there to confer him at his age. And the day when Seismo taught Shuff how to play Rockball on his 12th birthday. Seismo's memories makes him want to cry. But, then, he sensed something sad about Shuff's spirit. Like... He was crying.
Seismo: (...) "Shuff..." (Smiles weakly) "...Me know how you feel. You have same feeling as me. We want to be with each other again. To hug, kiss, cuddle and snuggle. Me want to see your face again. Me want to hear your voice again. And mostly... Me want to feel your body again. All me can feel is your presence and aura." (Sighs deeply and looks at the locket)
As Seismo looks at his locket, he tries to think of what he should do. With Seismo's gift to Shuff and his life with Shuff. And something came into his mind... Something even Krader would get sad of. Seismo was given no choice whatsoever.
Seismo: "Shuff... Me going to give you your gift. And after that..." (Puts on the locket) "...Me will get to see you once again. Me promise... For now, me got job to do."
While Krader was asleep, Seismo went to the cemetery, holding his gift and looking for Shuff's grave. That's when he found a grave saying, "Shuff the Cragster, R.I.P., Died and Never Forgotten", he buries the gift inside the dirt of where Shuff's body lays. Seismo prays that he'll give this gift to Shuff's spirit so he can remain happy for Christmas.
Later, he went back home, writing something, putting it in an envelope and placing it on the table. Seismo looks at his locket and nods.
Seismo: "It time."
Seismo looks in a silver wear cabinet, finding only a huge, sharp knife. He holds up the knife and aims it at his chest.
Seismo: "This is it. Me no live anymore. Me be rest of life with Shuff, dead. Krader..." (Sheds tears) "Me sorry..."
Seismo starts to stab himself in the chest, really hard offscreen. Drips of red come out of his back. Seismo takes the knife off him and drops it on the ground, making a loud sound. Seismo can only fall on his back, spreading and coughing the red liquid but can also chuckle. He began to look at the ceiling, breathing slowly, slowly chuckling.
Seismo: "That... That is it... All it..." (Thinks of Krader) "Krader... Me had to... Me needed to... Be with him... Me sorry..."
Familiar Voice: [Offscreen] "Seismo..."
Seismo's vision became blurry but can see a familiar figure, glowing white, floating and holding something in his arms. It was Shuff's ghost and he was holding Seismo's gift, not yet unwrapped.
Ghost!Shuff: "Seismo... Thank you... Me love you..."
Seismo: (...) (Holds Ghost!Shuff's hand)
Seismo would feel Ghost!Shuff's flesh once again, remembering when he was 5, being afraid of the dark and Shuff confers him and his body felt warm and safe to him. Seismo was glad to feel it. And to hear and see Shuff as a ghost.
Seismo: "Shuff... Me love you... Too..."
Seismo's eyes turned dull and his head moved to the bloody floor. His hand falls onto the floor. Red liquid was everywhere. Seismo was gone. Not breathing, moving or blinking but only sending the liquid out from his chest, back and mouth and all over the floor. Seismo was now dead, never to live again. But... only to remain... with a loved one.
To be Continued...
