Okay! So the last one was in totally bad shape! I found like a bunch of errors in spelling and stuff but when I tried to go fix them they disappeared! So I'll just have to leave it for now… but don't think I'm getting lazy! That was a rushed product that obviously turned out terrible…. But now that I'm on spring break, I should have more time to do what I want~…. Edit: And thus spring break is over… and I'm still not done with this… But I have my reasons… its called high school and its MANY MANY tests…. OTL I freaking have no time… and tomorrow I'm going to my tutor's house to study for my algebra 2 test because I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON! So anyway I hope you enjoy this next chapter~!
Everything was cold…. I surrounded by nothing but black… like I was floating in a completely empty space where nothing could disturb me… I started gaining consciousness after a little while and noticed my environment… It was so black, yet I could see my body clearly, as if a bright beam of light shined on me…. I looked around to see if there was anything around me…. Anything at all…. "Where…. W-where am I…?" Suddenly voices echoed throughout the empty space, somewhat hazy, as if they were talking through a radio….
"What do we do about the girl…? She saw us try to clean-"
"I told you, we have to wait for the chief's decision… He was baffled by that little girl for some reason… honestly I see nothing special about her…"
"But why? What could possibly be important about this little brat?"
"Nobody knows… maybe the chief does… but he won't tell anybody… He says its classified information, stuff about history and all that shit."
At that instant, a bright flash lit up the room, blinding me…. When I was finally able to see again I noticed I was in tube full of some kind of water… but I wasn't drowning… I was breathing normally as if the water was made of air, yet I floated in it and felt its cold touch on my skin…. I peaked out of the corner of my eye to see Flippy floating in the tube beside me. A man in a hazmat suit had started taking notes on him, but all Flippy could do was stare him down, as if he wanted to kill him.
"And the boy…? What of him…? Should we find a way to repair his body and send him back…?"
"Chief says to keep him too… he was awake the entire time and saw all of our actions…."
"Damn…. How do these kids get away with it…? We've had no problems with all of the other citizens… but these two… they attract trouble…."
Suddenly a bell rang as a pair of elevator doors opened, and a man in a tail coat and purple tie walked out. He pushed some of the light green hair out of his face and stared at both of us with violet eyes. He especially took interest in me, as he gazed my body from top to bottom, and only smirked…. He walked closer to the containment tanks and a holographic control panel appeared in front of him. He moved everything around until his screen turned black and a single button blinked on and off…. He held the button and the tanks were drained of their liquid.
"Welcome…. Dear citizens…" He smirked as he stared at Flippy's eyes. I glanced over to notice they were occasionally changing from neon yellow to emerald green…. He looked in pain as he struggled to hold himself back… but from what I don't know… "My, my… Don't we have a temper… and I haven't even introduced myself yet!" He bowed and looked up at us. "Mr. Ebony… at your service…." His violet eyes flared with a passion. A sudden chill went up my spine as I stared at him… I tried standing up in the tube but I couldn't feel my legs, so I had to pull myself to the far edge of the tube… Flippy looked at me, and stood up… He then started banging on the glass and yelled. "What did you do to her?! Why can't she stand?!" Ebony smirked at him and returned to working on his hologram screen. "I see… so some of the tests we did on her has temporarily paralyzed her…. We can fix that…." Those last words he said produced a hostile aura, one that chilled me to the bones…. He made his screen bigger and had started working faster, at an unbelievable rate. He pulled up two screens that look like they had status reports on two test subjects…. He quickly pulled down the one on the right and found two areas highlighted in red.
"Ah… so here's our problem…." He tapped on both of the blinking lights and two reports came up… he pressed another flashing button that caused 2 tazers to appear on the floor of my tube. I stared at them until they started to electrocute me. I screamed and then I suddenly lost consciousness… "FLAKY!" I heard glass shatter shortly before I blacked out…
-Flippy's P.O.V-
That man who calls himself Ebony pulled up his screen and tapped on the two highlighted area's on Flaky's report… At first I thought it was harmless but then two tazers appeared from the bottom of her containment unit and electrocuted her…. All that was going through my mind those last few moments was how much I wanted that man dead that I hadn't noticed I broke out of the glass and was holding a large shard of glass to his throat. "You… BASTARD!" He smirked and laughed. "What are you going to do boy…? Kill me? Haven't you noticed…? I would be brought back to life and then I could resume my duties…. And I might even have a little spare time to kill you… so go ahead…" He closed his eyes which had pissed me off even more… "How dare you… How dare you hurt Flaky!" I stabbed him in his throat and left him there to bleed. Several of the men in hazmats pulled me off Ebony and dragged his body into a separate room. I struggled in their arms and eventually I heard his laugh as he immediately walked out of the room the men dragged him into… "How… the hell…?" I stared at him in shock… he slowly walked over to me and stared down at me, and one of them men in the hazmats knocked me out with a drug. "You….b..astard….." I felt cold… but I knew, somehow I was half awake and still moving… Instead of waking up, I found myself in a black room with only a screen showing the surroundings… A voice echoed throughout the room… "Well, look whose back to play…." A man who looked like me sat on the floor and stared at me with a smirk…
"Y-you…." I stepped back for a second but he stood up and closed the distance between us…. His smirk grew wider as he put his hand on my shoulder and turned me to face him… He seemed a lot taller and mature… his voice even sounded deeper than mine… "Well, looks like it's my turn to walk around…." He chuckled and hit me in the back of my neck… "Have Fun~" I had lost consciousness again, but this time I didn't know what was going on… It was like I was aware of everything but I couldn't move…. It felt like weeks had gone by, but before I knew it, I woke up in a bed, staring up at the roof. I looked beside me to see that Flaky was asleep and well…. I got up and stared at her for a moment, and then I walked into the bathroom wondering if everything was just a dream. I glanced at the mirror and stared in shock… I was covered in blood… I quickly stared back at the bed to see that the bed was still clean… Not a speck of blood stained the creamy white. "W-what… did I do…?" "Don't you mean… We….?"
I stared at the mirror to see that man from before staring right back at me. He was holding a knife, and there was a large smirk on his face as he looked down at me. "Well… Good Morning Sleeping Beauty…" "Y-You…." I knocked on the window to check if it wasn't some kind of trick… He laughed even more and sat on the counter, and then he looked back at me, stroking the tip of his knife…. "Oh, you should have seen their faces when I went berserk…. So much blood everywhere…. A work of art if I do say so myself…." His smirk grew wider as he stared at me with blood lust in his eyes. "Just what did you do to those people?!" He instantly lost his smile and stared at me intensely…. He looked at his knife for a few moments, lost in thought…. Then he looked back at me, and his smirk returned… "… I had some fun…. Cut some guts…. But in the end…. They all came back….Oh, but it was so much fun! I had to keep cutting them open, because I knew they would be back for more… Oh, their screams were music to my ears…." I stared at him in shock, and then looked over at Flaky as she moved in the bed. "Damnit…." I quickly closed the door, stripped my clothes and got into the shower. When I turned he water on, the shock of how cold it was brought me back to my senses. "It's a lie… Just a lie!" I held my head and kneeled on the tiled floor for a moment…. Hoping that everything I just heard, everything I saw yesterday….. I hoped it was just a dream…. I stood back up and decided to continue with the shower… I started scrubbing the blood that was on me off…. I felt sick…. I watched all the blood go into the drain, hoping I'd never see it again….
"You seriously thought it was that easy!? You think everything is just going to fucking wash away!? How naïve are you?!" The familiar voice had sent chills down my spine but I didn't know where it was coming from… Then I noticed that my reflection, behind all of the fog, was moving when I wasn't… I wiped it down to see his neon eyes staring back at me…. "Stop running away you little fuck!" I tried stepping back, but then I slipped in the shower and fell against the wall…. I had kept my eyes closed for a moment, but when I peeked at the reflection, it was just me…. "W-What's wrong with me….?" I slowly got up and stopped the water and just stood there in thought…. Just what was going on inside my head…? Could it be... that I agree… with…. With him….? No…. I laughed and just started washing my hair…. As the fog cleared from the bathroom I stared at my torso…. How are we so different… yet when we first met, we were the same…? There was a timid knock at the bathroom door, and a quiet voice followed after…. "F-Flippy… is everything o-okay…?" She opened the door a little bit and peaked in, but then quickly closed the door. "S-Sorry!" I chuckled, wrapped a towel around my waist and peaked out the door to see she was leaning against it. "D-Don't come out!" I laughed and reached a hand out and tried reaching for her. "Rawr!" Flaky screamed and ran for the other door. I opened the door and walked out laughing. Flaky was crawling towards the other door breathing heavily and laughing at the same time. "P-Put some c-clothes on!" She opened the door and ran out. Her face was as red as a tomato…. It was… cute….. I grabbed some of the clothes I had put out a minute ago and started putting them on.
All I grabbed was a normal black t-shirt and some tan pants, like those ones the soldiers wear…. I felt comfortable in this type of clothing, nothing felt restricting… it just felt comfortable. I walked out into the bedroom and saw that Flaky had made the bed, and you could even tell that she started cooking breakfast. A sweet smell went through the house and you could hear the sizzling of the pan. I quietly walked down the stairs to see Flaky was cooking, but she would occasionally lift her head and look at the living room… I would've thought it was normal… except she had a troubled expression each time she looked. I walked behind her and looked over her shoulder to see she was cooking pancakes… "Flaky, you're going to burn one of them if you don't flip it now…" Flaky jumped but then quickly turned the pancake over. "F-Flippy! W-When did you come d-d-down…?" She tried not to look at me as she hid her embarrassed face. "Oh, um a minute ago…?" She tensed up a little bit as I touched her shoulder to look over her shoulder. I looked at her face and noticed she was avoiding my gaze. "Hey~ look this way!" I put my hand on her chin and forced her to look at me, but then she looked down at the pancakes and realized one of them was about to burn so she quickly pulled out a plate and put one on it and then she topped it off with maple syrup. "H-Here…." I took the plate and sat down at the table behind her. I stared at her figure as she was hesitantly making her own breakfast… I would look down at my plate, eat a few bites, and then look back up at her every other moment. She was wearing a long red sweater and skinny jeans which hid her slim figure. "Flaky… does it hurt… anywhere…?" She looked back at me for a moment, her eyes filled with a subconscious fear, but then she immediately smiled…. "Yup! I-I'm not hurt anywhere… why do you ask…?"
"Nah, I just wanted to make sure…." I tried to get that scene out of my mind as I walked to the table and placed the plate in the sink. Flaky flinched because of the large clang the plate made when it hit the bottom of the sink. She had just finished making her own breakfast, and she almost dropped the plate… Luckily I somehow caught it.
"W-Whoa! Nice catch!" Flaky clapped as I brought the plate back to eye level…. It didn't feel like it was me who reacted…. But more like someone else had done it for me…. "Nah, since when would you have great reflexes….?" His voice chirped in my head…. Looks like he was the one to catch the plate…. I felt a little disappointed by this but Flaky stood there amazed… All I could do was think of the worst… I didn't know what he would do to her… And I had no way to control him… "Oh come on, that's not nice… I was just trying to help... We wouldn't want her to get hurt would you…? Cause I'd be glad to do that for you!" He chuckled menacingly in my head, sending chills up my spine.
"Flippy….?" I looked up at her when she called my name. Even though we were both the same age, I felt like I was older than her… "Yeah…?" Flaky shuffled through some papers and pulled out a flyer for a festival… "D-Do you think we can go to this…? I mean if we have time…" I smiled at her and patted her head. "Yeah, of course we have time!" Flaky's face lit up as she quietly celebrated. I walked outside for a moment when I remembered those army guys…. The room was filled with blood and there were bullet holes everywhere… How is this room completely spotless… or did that "Clean up Crew" do their work while they had kidnapped us? Just…. how…? Could it be that they are just that good at their job? I looked back at Flaky. She was humming to herself and had a slight smile on her face… I guess even after all we've been through, she can still smile like that… First her mother dies, her aunt abandons her, my father tries to kill her, and then this…. Could it be she really doesn't remember anything that happened earlier… the containment cells…? That man…. Or any of the blood shed….? She did react strangely when I mentioned the incident, so maybe she thought it was a dream…? Or maybe she doesn't want to admit anything because it was so traumatizing for her….
"F-Flippy…?" she hesitated when she called my name. I slightly tilted my head as I stared at her in curiosity. "What's up…?" She kept her posture and sort of looked away embarrassed. I slowly walked up to her and sat on the other side of the table. I sat there patiently, and I smiled at her until she finally started speaking again. "U-Um… did… something bad happen to us… yesterday…?" She tried to look away, and tried to hide her fear… I paused for a moment… should I really tell her….? Would she be able to handle the truth…? "Of course she wouldn't… She's too damn fragile… Even if she is-" He immediately stopped, as if he was recalling the past. I knew it already… He and I are the demon from that old story… and she's the priestess who goes through hardship…. But the thing about that story is… The demon caused most of her hardship. Yet…. "Don't tell her the truth, she's been through enough right now… Beside I don't want to hear her whining every fucking second… Her voice is just so fucking annoying." I laughed a little bit which made Flaky stare at me confused and then I tried to gain my composure. 'Heh, says you.' Flaky stared at me intensely waiting for an answer, and she wouldn't stop until she received what she wanted. "Not really…. Are you sure it wasn't a dream…?" I gave her a reassuring smile to cast away any suspicions she might have had. She sighed in relief and a smile returned to her face… "Okay, I thought so… but it just seemed so real…?"
"Well some dreams do appear more real than they actually are…" A slight spark of recognition appeared in her eyes, maybe because she remembered something from a dream…? If I was right, and she is the priestess reincarnated… then… it might have been a dream… about him… I was suddenly filled with a strange sensation that made me agitated… She looked up and then quickly looked back down when our eyes met. I… I didn't know what to do in this situation… I mean I've read about it before… when a guy and a girl are alone… sometimes they would do erotic things… other times they would do something fun together like watch T.V or go outside and enjoy the world around them… But just what were these erotic things…? What does erotic even mean…? I guess being locked in a cellar all your life does give you some disadvantages… especially since I was treated like a demon all my life… Even though I am… "Yeah, that's right… we're both demons… And pretty good ones at that… Ah, back in the day, I used to slay all those puny humans that tried to stand in my way, or the ones that tried to run…. So much blood everywhere. Ah, I miss that field covered in that crimson red… The taste of iron as I licked the blade of my knife…" He paused for a second, but all I could hear was him sighing. "Oh, but those days are gone… my old knife has probably decayed… I guess I'll just have to find a new one…" His tone sent gave me goose bumps …..
END OF CHAPTER! OH NOES! Sorry! But this was taking a lot longer than expected, but I'll hopefully have the next chapter up sooner or later! I've just been packed with so many new exams…. And not to mention I'm struggling with Algebra II, so I'm sorry if I don't update as often!
