What has happened to Torvald?

Has she been killed?

Or has Vanellope made plans for her?

Time to find out

Ch.4 An Encounter

(Where we left off)

Candlehead would put a hand around Torvald's mouth

"Shh…I don't want to harm you my friend…but I have no problem ripping your tongue out…"

Torvald would tremble. "W-w-what do you want from me?"

Vanellope would walk up to her. "To talk to you…"

Candlehead would let go of Torvald and Vanellope would grab her arm

"A 1 on 1 talk…" Vanellope would grin

"O-o-ok…" Torvald would nervously reply

Vanellope would smile and look at Candlehead. "Ensure no one heard that scream my darling…" She'd kiss Candlehead on the lips for a few moments before parting

Candlehead would blush as she'd pull a knife out of her jacket. "If someone does come…then won't like the outcome…"

Vanellope would grin. "Good…"

She'd glitch away with Torvald

Candlehead would climb up a tree and stand on a large branch as a Candy Citizen would appear with a flashlight

Candlehead would be able to tell they were a Reese's pieces one of Rancis's fans

"Hello? Somebody out there?" The citizen would beam the light around them

Suddenly something would fall behind them

The citizen would turn around to see Candlehead towering over them brandishing a knife

"Boo…" Candlehead would state as she'd plunge her knife into the citizen killing them almost instantly

She'd look at the dead body then over her shoulder

And she see them

All the racers were walking towards her spot

She'd suddenly grin and look back at the body

"Hehehe…I've got a surprise for them…hahaha…"

Gloyd would be leading the racers

"I'm telling you I heard Torvald's shriek…and I can tell it was a terror shriek…"

"Why would she be out here?" Sticky would ask

They'd suddenly see some Peanut Butter like blood on the ground

Gloyd would look at Rancis. "Only your fans have that kind of blood…call them all now…"

Rancis would do as told

There'd hear a phone ringing behind a tree

The racers would slowly approach

They'd peek behind the tree

They'd find the dead citizen cut up in pizza like slices

There'd be enough slices for everyone there

Sticky would shriek

Snowanna would throw up

Rancis and Gloyd would get closer

Gloyd would pick up a piece and look at the blood

"This must have just happened…he probably went out by himself while I was gathering everyone…"

"Yea…but it's disgusting nonetheless…"

"My only question is…who did it…Vanellope or Candlehead? And did Torvald suffer the same fate?"

Suddenly everyone would hear something that would send chills down their spines

They heard Candlehead's soft laughter

Everyone would look around frantically as the laughter would get closer and closer

The laughter would be feet from them when suddenly

As quickly as it started

It would stop

Gloyd would notice a silhouette in a tree above them

He'd shine his light up at the tree

And Candlehead would be standing there knife dripping in the blood of the citizens

A wicked smile on her face

And everyone would see how much her appearance had change looking so drastically

Everyone would tremble and back away slowly

Candlehead would look down at them grinning. "Boo…" She'd jump down from her branch

Everyone would scatter

Candlehead would laugh. "Run…run as fast as you can…but I'll catch you I'm your death!" The ending of her sentence would be said in a demonic tone

(Far away)

Vanellope would glitch Torvald into her hideout in Diet Cola Mountain

Torvald would back away from Vanellope

"While my darling Candlehead has fun with the racers…we can chat…" Vanellope would state

"What did you do to her?" Torvald would nervously ask

"I was the only one she could ever talk to…plus…I gave her things she gave to everyone but was never returned…those being…love…kindness…and…most importantly…I was her friend until she decided to take it to the next level…"

"You turned her into a murderer!"

Vanellope would glare at Torvald who'd back away terrified

"Correction…you and the racers turned her into one…I never did anything to her…I simply sat down and listen to the pain she went through daily…and the more your abuse continued…the more vengeful she became till…she helped me make this grand plan…"

"W-w-w-what grand plan?" Torvald would ask

"Oh simply put…become racers…do away with King Candy…and put everyone in their place…"

Torvald would tremble as Vanellope would sigh

"However…Candlehead made it crystal clear no harm was to come to you…which is why I'm offering you the chance to join us…"

"I won't help you harm everyone…" Torvald would state

Vanellope would tilt her head to one side

"Why? Last time I checked…you had many reasons to harbor vengeful feelings against the others…"

Torvald would turn her back to her. "I'm not discussing that with you!"

Vanellope would grin as she'd slowly approach Torvald

"Yet it is clear you do harbor those feelings…and you've been bottling those feelings up…"

"I'm not discussing it!"

Vanellope would chuckle as she'd put her hands on the sides of Torvald's head

"No bother discussing…I already know…after Candlehead and myself…you were the most bullied racer…Taffyta would make your life hell everytime you won a race or finished in the top 5…and when Candlehead was out of the picture…Taffyta focused only on you…with verbal attacks…beatdowns…damage and vandalizing your kart…she had the others join her…"

A few tears would escape Torvald's eyes as Vanellope would grin evilly as she'd continue to speak

"I remember she broke your trophy when you won a Grand Prix by beating her in the final race…and when she found out you were bi-sexual…boy…did she have a field day…calling you unnormal…an anomaly in the game's code…question if you were a racer or just a glitch that didn't glitch uncontrollably like me…hell…what didn't she do? And the openly gay Adorabeezle and Jubileena didn't say a word to defend you…Minty barely even stood up for you…yet she always stood up for Sticky…"

Torvald would softly cry as Vanellope would wrap her arms

"And like Candlehead…it only worsened as time went on…"

"W-why are you doing this?" Torvald would say between sobs

"Like Candlehead…I only want to help…"

"Why help me?"

"Because I know how it feels…and I don't want you going through that alone…"

"W-w-what do I have to do to get that help?"

Vanellope would smile. "Simple…give me your mine…"

Vanellope would chuckle alittle. "Good…I have enough to continue on with my plans…" She'd tell herself

(Back in the forest)

The racers would frantically run back to their homes

Taffyta would suddenly get shoved to the ground

She'd look up to see Candlehead

"Wait Candlehead please!" She'd shout

Candlehead would grin as she'd kick her hard on the head knocking her out cold

She'd see Adorabeezle and Jubileena running close by

She'd jump back into the trees

They'd run towards her hiding spot not seeing her waiting for them

Candlehead would clutch her knife tight

And she'd pounce

She'd land on Adorabeezle who'd fall to the ground

Jubileena would turn around to see Candlehead sitting on Adorabeezle's back putting her knife to Adorabeezle's throat

"Leave…and I slit her throat…"

Jubileena would tremble. "I'll do anything…just don't kill her…"

Candlehead would knock Adorabeezle out and would put her ontop of Taffyta

Then she'd walk towards Jubileena when she'd see Gloyd nearby

She'd look at Jubileena. "Move away from here…and I will Adorabeezle slowly and make you watch the whole thing…"

Jubileena would nod. "O-o-ok…"

Candlehead would run towards Gloyd who'd reach his back door

"GLOYD!" Candlehead would shout in an almost demonic voice

Gloyd would turn to her just as she'd tackle him to the ground

He'd try pushing her off as she'd punch him in the head and chest repeatedly

Candlehead would stand up and stomp and jump on him

"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A STUPID VILE PIECE OF SHIT! YOU MADE MY LIFE HELL!" She'd scream at him enraged

Gloyd would weakly look up at her as she'd grab his shoulders and throw him into the wall

"I HATE YOU!" She'd shout as she'd take out her knife

Gloyd would weakly attempt to crawl away

She'd knock him onto his back

"Nice try…"

She'd raise her knife above her head

"No! Please! Candlehead stop! This isn't you!"

"It's the new me…the me you helped create…the me…I love…"

"You would never harm someone! You would never kill!"

"…I do now…"

She'd grin and stab him

Jubileena would watch from a distance

She'd watch in horror as Candlehead would continue to stab Gloyd even though he was already dead

Candlehad would walk back to Jubileena

"Y-y-y-you stabbed him 60 times…" Jubileena would state nervously

"Have a problem with that?" Candlehead would ask in an angered tone as she'd tie Adorabeezle and Taffyta up and put them on a sled

"Of course not…" Jubileena would respond

"Good…" Candlehead would state as she'd pull Jubileena over to the front and would tight rope around her

"W-w-what are you doing?"

"Simple…you'll be pulling the slide…like a dog…which means on all 4s…if you don't want to…I'll simply end your life right here…and I'll starve Adorabeezle so much that she'll eat your corpse…"

Jubileena would tremble

"And you don't want that…do you?" Candlehead would ask

Jubileena would drop onto her hands and knees. "N-no…"

"Then start pulling towards Diet Cola mountain…"

Jubileena would silently begin to pull the sled away as Candlehead would walk around the houses

Everyone was barricaded inside Minty's mansion

It had been the closest to the forest and in a rush everyone had decided to go there

Candlehead would slide a note under the door before returning to her 3 captives

Swizzle would take the note to the basement where everyone was hidden and read it

"Don't come for them…or else you'll end up eating them…"

Everyone would look at one another horrified

(A few minutes later)

King Candy would be awoken by a call

"Hello? King Candy speaking…huh…oh hello Ranics…calm down I don't understand your frantic screaming…wait…what happened?!...how?!...NO!"

End Ch.4

Just what has Candlehead planned for her 3 unfortunate captives?

How will King Candy deal with this situation?

Well I won't tell you now
