Chapter 9: Tea with another
Hey guys Snowy here... seriously... your not paying attention again? Fine then have it your way... anyway I am about to start undergoing a HUGE project. Yes this project is different then what I might usually do but I am going to write a original story 100% me and will also upload pictures for a better understanding. I havent started writing yet but I have drawn most of the characters on my notepad, so far all that there is on Deviantart (Name: SnowyBlizz) is Skylar's insignia of Magic.
Thanx 4 Reading!
Ratchet was eating his meal while trying to ignore the situation that was sitting across from him, Ashley. She kept her hood off to help her ears from the strain of the weight, but it annoyed Ratchet to the bone.
'What?' Ashley said smiling with a smart attitude which almost pushed Ratchet to the edge, but instead he took a deep breath and ignored her. Sasha knew something was up so she decided to scoot closer to Ratchet and to her surprise he didn't react.
"Why didn't she tell me any of this before?" Ratchet yelled out in his head which echoed making him even angrier.
'What's wrong Ratchet?' Sasha curiously asked the Male who was then broken out of his trance.
'Nothing' he replied and began eating again.
'Ratchet I know that she's a Lombax but I don't see why you're so… aggressive' she said but was replied by a low growl and a nudge. Sasha didn't like the way he was acting so she moved away to grab some more food, leaving Ratchet and Ashley alone. Ashley's smile dropped into a more serious look as Sasha disappeared to the kitchen.
'What is your problem?' she asked Ratchet who only replied with a low snarl making her feel angry.
'Why didn't you tell me any of this earlier?!' Ratchet yelled but slightly quiet enough for no one else to hear. Ashley took this sudden outburst a bit of an offence but she knew that it wasn't intentional.
'I… have my reasons' she said silently to herself whilst looking downwards, but Ratchet's keen hearing heard every word.
'And what would that reason be?!' he yelled loud and clearly making the surrounding tables notice him, he was now standing staring at her face menacingly. She began to cry making Ratchet somehow surprised, she then stood up and ran out of the room making Ratchet feel guilty. Sasha was walking back with a new plate of food to see Ratchet standing there shocked yet angry.
'Ratchet?' she asked shyly hoping that he would reply, Ratchet shook his head and then turned his attention to Sasha.
'Yes?' he asked, his expression was monotone but he still had that shocked expression in his eyes.
'Where did Ashley go?' Sasha asked sitting down hoping Ratchet would too but instead he looked down at her and ran for the exit. Ratchet ran as fast as he could to say sorry for what he had done knowing that if she was angry with him he couldn't find Duncan. He slid to a stop at the front of her room and took a couple of deep breaths before he knocked, no answer.
'Ashley, Its Ratchet… I'm coming in' he said to the door and then started slowly opening it, he peeked inside to see she was underneath the bed covers. He slowly approached the lump on the bed and could hear the sound of crying as he sat himself beside her.
'Ashley… I'm sorry at what I said earlier… and raising my voice at you' he said placing one hand on her shoulder.
'That's OK… I forgive you' her voice seemed to be different than usual and she also was a bit… off.
'Ashley? Are you sick or something?' he asked trying to get a glance at her face, but it was covered by the blanket. Suddenly the door opened with a second Ashley sniffling and snuffling wiping the tears with her hands. Ratchet froze as he saw her enter the room and once she saw Ratchet she froze too.
'What the Fuck is going on here?' he asked Ashley who responded by shaking her head, she then looked at the lump and fear struck her.
'Ratchet! I would run if I were you!' she yelled at him but it was too late, he felt a sharp pain in his back followed by him falling to the floor. He tried to get back up but he felt a foot firmly planted on his back trapping him underneath it. He slowly turned his head to see the evil smile of Duncan Los, it was crooked and somehow it looked uncomfortable.
'You bastard! Let him go!' Ashley yelled to the scientist who instead started laughing like a maniac making Ratchet even more uncomfortable.
'Maybe… but you know what would happen if I let him go?' he asked and then pressed harder onto the Lombax's back making him shriek in pain. She froze there not knowing what to do, if she saved Ratchet something bad would happen.
'Take me instead!' she yelled, Duncan just laughed and applied more pressure onto the Lombax's back making him yell even louder.
'I've already got all the research I need from you, but Ratchet he has so much data I can use,' he said looking down at his victim 'Besides if I take you and leave him you know what's going to happen, I might just kill somebody.'
'No not father' she said silently to herself, she felt trapped and even if Ratchet was safe he wouldn't stop going after him.
'You seriously think that your Father is still alive? He died ages ago, I never told you because you were fragile' the scientist said. Ashley stood there in shock, her eyes wide open and her fists suddenly clenched. She ran up to the scientist with her fist making contact to his face allowing Ratchet to stand up.
'You fucking bastard, the least you could do was tell me!' she yelled at the corpse that lied on the ground, he started rubbing his cheek in pain. Ratchet stood right next to her panting and feeling relief from being trapped before, he placed his hand on her shoulder. She slowly turned around and leant her head on his, crying making Ratchets fur dampen.
'Well isn't that just fucking romantic!' Duncan yelled out while clapping and spitting out blood on occasions 'Unfortunately I can't stay long.' Duncan then grabbed a small pad from underneath his lab coat and pressed the button that was located in the middle.
'Fuck you!' Ratchet yelled as the cloaked man disappeared into thin air, he then looked down at Ashley who was still crying. Ratchet slowly sat down onto the bed, guiding her to sit down too, she happily followed but didn't stop crying.
'It's OK, don't cry he's just a bastard… he could be lying' he said picking up her chin and then their eyes met, she smiled.
'Thank-you' she said as she wiped the tears away from her face.
Duncan's a Bitch... Right?
