Yep, SUSPENSE! What'll happen to Flaky, Flippy, and Splendid? You'll have to wait and find out!
….
I stared at the girl, confused and scared. Why did she treat me this way? Did I do something to hurt her? Before I could say anything back, she kicked me in the face as hard as she could. I cried at the pain, curling into a ball as others tried to keep her away from me. Splendid and Flippy had come to see if I was alright, and they saw I had several cuts on my face from a hidden razor in Lammie's shoe.
"Flaky are you alright?! Can you stand?" Splendid had tried to help me up leaving his twin behind, and then we both turned our gaze to Flippy who was staring down at the floor clenching his fists. I noticed the color of his eyes had changed, so I balanced my weight on him so that he wouldn't hurt anyone. He turned his attention to me and tried to help me stand.
He patted my head and didn't say anything while both he and Splendid had tried to keep me balanced. Then I heard a thud and when I looked over, I saw that Petunia had slapped Lammie. They both looked furious at each other, but Lammie was the only one that was staring at me with a murderous look.
She mouthed the words "slut" and walked out of the gym. As I tried to walk toward the door I almost tripped over, but Splendid had caught me before I could hit the ground. Once again I was taken to the infirmary for cuts and bruises all over my body. Just then the nurse had walked in, giving us a sort of sleepy look.
"I'm Lumpy, the nurse." He gave quick introductions and had immediately got the first aid kit out and tended to my injuries while Splendid and Flippy waited outside.
"Poor dear… you must have met Lammie…" Lumpy knew exactly who had done it and how she did it. "She must have put a razor at the end of her shoe, getting ready to kill you… You're…very lucky she only aimed for non-vital areas." He let out a yawn once he was done.
"I-I… don't f-f-feel… l-l-lucky…" He patted me on the shoulder and pointed to Splendid and Flippy who were staring through the window, reassuring me that I had people who cared.
"Those boys, will… probably do anything for you…" He then opened the door and directed me out of the room. "I suggest you go back to class, we'll do something about Lammie later, so don't worry about it. Also, you two take care of her, she's… very frail." He let out another yawn and closed the door to the infirmary.
"Well, let's get going?" Splendid looked relieved that I was ok, floating around like usual. When I looked over to Flippy he had a troubled look, but when he noticed me staring, he gave a reassuring smile.
"Flaky! Hey!" Petunia had yelled my name from behind and ran up to us, giving me a hug. "Thank god you're alright! What Lammie did was psychotic!" She hugged me tighter, causing me to have trouble breathing….
"P-Petunia… I-I c-c-can't… b-breath…" She had let go and chucked, making the two boys confused. "Sorry! I guess I don't know my own strength!" We all headed back to class together, laughing as Petunia scolded Splendid for flying indoors.
When we had re-entered the gym, the bell for lunch rang. The other students flooded out of the room, leaving Pops and Cub sitting on the floor. I remembered a brought a lunch box and left it in my bag, so I ran over to get it. When I looked inside I felt like I was going to be sick…
"O-oh m-my g-g-god…" Flippy had walked over as I backed away from my bag, and inside was a dead black cat.
"A black cat? Isn't it bad luck if you cross paths with one?" Petunia hit him upside the head. Splendid tried to make it sound like a joke, but it didn't make the situation any better. When Flippy picked the cat out of my bag he noticed there were bullet holes and a note in it. When he pulled the blood note out, some of the cat's organs came out and fell to the floor.
"You should be dead." Flippy read the note out loud, and at the end of the note there was a patch of red hair… My hair…
"O-Oh g-g-god…"
"Flaky?!" Splendid ran after me as I ran out of the gym getting ready to puke. Luckily the bathroom was right next to the gym so I didn't have to run far. Seeing that black cat in my bag made me remember the harassment from my old school.
"Flaky?! Are you okay?!" Splendid knocked on the stall door, not caring that he was in the girl's bathroom. Another pair of footsteps entered the bathroom…
"Splendid, go outside… I'll comfort her..." It was Petunia, trying to get Splendid out of the bathroom.
"Flaky, honey, come on out… Flippy got rid of the cat… its ok…" As soon as I felt better I opened the door and hugged her, crying. She patted my head and tried to tell me it that everything was okay, but that still didn't make me feel any better.
When we walked out, we saw Pop talking to the two boys, and then he glanced over and told us to stand with the two boys and listen to what he had to say.
"Listen, I think it would be better for you boys and Flaky to go home… She's been through a lot today, and we still don't know why Lammie is doing this to her…" Pop looked somewhat frustrated that one of his students was being harassed on the first day of school.
"You two, comfort her for a few days, we'll send her to a councilor every other day during class…" He patted the boys on the shoulders and nudged us to get going… When I looked back at Petunia, she waved good bye before talking to Pop.
As we made our way back home, we passed by a few restaurants which made my stomach growl. I laughed at the fact that both Splendid's and Flippy's growled at the same time, so we all went in and ate.
"W-Why d-d-do you t-t-think… L-L-Lammie… t-t-tried to k-k-kill me…?" I didn't know why, but I had a pretty good guess because of all these weird dreams I've been having… Was it because she was jealous that I was with Flippy… in both future and past…? Or was it something else entirely….?
"Hey~! Flaky. Earth to Flaky~!" Flippy waved his hand in my face to make sure if I was still with them or not…
"H-Huh? O-Oh… sorry… I-I was t-t-thinking of something…." I started to eat some of the side dishes since I didn't really have an appetite…
-Splendid's P.O.V-
We all sat down in a small restaurant and ate some great food! When I looked over to Flaky, she didn't really seem to be feeling well… I wouldn't blame her, seeing a dead cat in her bag isn't something you wanna remember when you're eating… I'm happy to see that Flaky's feeling a little better now though… I wonder, does she remember anything about her past? About us?
"Hey hero, you're paying for the food you know that?" That damn Flippy trying to make a joke.
"Like hell I'm gonna pay!" I used my laser eyes to… "Singe" his hair just a bit; however this caused Flaky to panic.
"F-Flippy?! Y-your h-h-hair!" She threw a cup of water on his head, making me fall off my chair laughing.
-Evil's P.O.V-
Flippy got so angry that it gave me the opportunity to come out and play with the wannabe hero. He singed my damn hair on purpose! So I'm gonna fucking repay him.
"Oh-ho~ I see how you're gonna play it hero…" I used chopsticks to grab a hold of his tongue and pulled out my bowie knife, ready to cut his tongue off. That's when she grabbed my arm.
"S-Stop it! S-Stop hurting p-p-people!" She began to cry again in fear, which made it all the more pleasurable… I only grinned at her pain, and how delicate and petit her body was.
"Hmph, fine… but in exchange…" I grabbed her by the collar and leaned in whispering into her ear. "You have to give me something I want, in return…" Obviously she flinched at this request, but then she opened her mouth again…
"Don't you feel b-bad… for t-the people y-you torture…? What reason do you have f-for t-torturing them…? Just w-who are y-you… t-to c-c-cause them p-pain…?" When she asked this question it lingered in my mind, but then I bit her earlobe with a grin.
"Why would I feel bad for them? I'm allowed to do what I want, right?" I pulled her in close and watched as she tried to struggle as I started groping her, watching her reactions… Then I remembered our promise, and it left an opening for Flippy to force me back into the damn room he calls a mind.
-Flaky's P.O.V-
When he stopped, I looked up and saw Flippy blushing furiously… I pushed him away and ran out the door, trying to keep my distance. When I was a good distance from the restaurant, I could see my house… Then I collapsed on the side of the sidewalk and started crying before I could even open the door… When I turned around, Flippy had caught up to me meaning he probably ran after me…
"W-Why…? W-Why do… d-does everything you do… m-make me remember…?" I sat there and continued to cry as he walked towards me…
"Y-You remembered something?" He hugged me and let me cry on his shoulder before forcing me to answer…
"I-I can't remember much… I… o-only remember… the t-time… I w-went to the h-hospital…" It was difficult to talk in between hiccups. "I… o-only remember… L-Lammie t-t-trying… t-to kill m-me…" He picked me up and opened the door and set me down on the couch. He sad down next to me and looked down… he was crying…
"I see… That's the… worst thing to… remember first… especially from that damn town…" I could tell that from the tone of his voice, he was disappointed. Did he want me to remember something else that was important?
"You know… That town, is halfway into the curse's radius…? That's…. That's how you survived the fall… You fell into the curse zone… but of course no one knew that at the time…" As he recalled those events he looked in pain… He must not have wanted to remember those terrible things… And I forced him to, by telling him what I remembered…
"I… always e-end up… i-in a d-dark… r-room… f-f-filled with e-echoes…" When I admitted I ended up in that damn room, Evil forced his way out and gripped my shoulders.
"W-When!? What have you remembered?! Damn it! Why is it always that damn black room?!" He seemed agitated from just the mention of that room…
"I-I… O-only remember… D-Dying… Another v-voice l-lingers in there, b-but I-I c-can never hear i-it… And…" I didn't want to stay still, especially since I was afraid that he might do something to me again…
"And…?" He stared at me intensely with his yellow eyes. His grip tightened on my shoulders causing me to cringe my teeth.
"A-and, I-I'm always… t-talking with m-myself in the d-d-dream…" Right then, his face grew angry and he pushed me down and pinned down my wrists…
"Damn it! Why won't you remember?!" He pulled out his knife and pointed it at one of my wrists. "Will the same pain be able to make you remember?! Will you fucking remember then?!" He dug the knife into my wrist causing me to scream in pain. He stuck his finger into the cut, causing me to scream even more. I was giving him what he wanted, the enjoyment of seeing his victim scream in pain. Then all of a sudden, I heard something crash threw the window, and when I looked over Splendid had shards of glass in his fist and was rolled over onto the floor. Right when Evil was dragged off of me, I heard a familiar voice echo in my head….
'Promise me…'
The voice echoed louder and louder as the two struggled on the floor, causing me to roll of the bed and curl into a ball… The louder it got, the worse the pain was… it was another memory, ready to give me the bad news…
'Promise me, Evil…that…'
I began to shake my head in disbelief… that the small voice was making a promise to Evil…. I crawled backwards, knocking a vase over making the two teens look in my direction… I started to repeat the words over and over again in a whisper…. That's when Evil's eyes grew wide with shock, because he knew exactly what I was remembering… Then we both said it at the same time…
"Promise me… that you'll be by my side… so we'll both find out…who you are…"
OH MY GOD, terrible cliff hanger! D: I know, there's more EvilxFlaky in this chapter… but that's basically what it's about! I don't know when Splendid will get his share of love from Flaky! D: So for now, this will have to do… Oh yeah, since my 2nd week of school is starting up, I won't update as fast as I had been doing! D:
Splendid: Don't forget to review!
Me: …. –shows him a picture of Flaky-
Flippy & Splendid: -nosebleed-
Me & Flaky: ∑(O_O；)
