It's time for the ninth chapter! Here we go!
CHAPTER 9 – Defeat
(P back to me) The second Emily lunged at me, I knew I had lost her. There was nothing I could do except dodge her. Every time she tried to land any claws into me, it broke my heart. I had failed to protect her and now this was going to happen.
(P to Emily) The human was dodging my every attack. But instead of an angry expression on his face, or even a terrified one, he had an extremely sad face. Why was he sad? He had put me in this position. But no matter what I did to try and attack him, he kept his sad expression on his face.
Finally, I landed on him, with my claws going into him a bit. He cried out in pain. And not just pain, but also despair! And then, this didn't feel right either! I stopped putting my claws in places and looked at his face.
(P back to me) My wife was attacking me! Each time she sunk her claws in me, I just wanted to die. I had lost my wife and she had become this monster. But suddenly, she stopped. I knew I had to try and plead with her one last time before she finally ended me.
I was in absolute tears. "I'm so sorry Emily. I've failed you. And not just you, but our child as well. It's unforgivable. I can't believe I let this happen to you," I said to her.
(P to Emily) "I just want you to know I love you. I've always loved you. Even right now I love you. Even after you're done with me and everyone else, I'll still love you. No matter what happens to me or to you, I'll always love you," the human said to me.
Just as I was about to finish him off, I stopped. His eyes were closed and he was looking away from me, not wanting to see me end him. But his words broke me. He loved me? Even right now he did? "I love you too," I suddenly said to him. I began kissing him and he was kissing me back. Why was I enjoying this?
Suddenly, I remembered everything. The very human I was attacking was my own husband! He wasn't trying to hurt me and he never did! He was always making sure I was happy. He hadn't wrongfully mated with me; we both did that to each other on our honeymoon and agreed to it. We had to have two weddings because of our different worlds. What I was doing right now was so wrong!
Suddenly, I lost all my energy and returned to normal. I fell off my husband, ashamed of what I had done and began crying. "Don't look at me! I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, sobbing the hardest I ever had. I was a monster and I had hurt the man I loved. Suddenly, Matthew came over to me and wrapped me in a big embrace, picking me up.
"Emily, you're finally back normal," he said to me, very glad. I looked up at him in tears. "I hurt you! Look at yourself! You've got claw marks all over you!" I said to him, ashamed. "I don't care Emily. I'm just glad I got you back to normal before Blowhole brought everyone else in," Matthew said to me.
(P back to me) "But I still hurt you!" Emily exclaimed, still crying. "Please stop crying Emily. If there's one thing I hate more than Blowhole, it's seeing you cry," I said to her. "How do you not hate me for this?" she asked me. "You weren't in control of yourself. Blowhole had control of you. And I can't hate you for anything honey. I love you too much," I said to Emily, trying to get her to stop crying.
"But I nearly killed you!" she exclaimed to me. "But you didn't. You stopped yourself. Our love for each other," I said, before the baby kicked. "And our love for our child saved us. I don't care that you nearly killed me. It's my fault we all ended up in this position anyway," I said to her apologetically, still trying to calm her down.
(P back to Emily) "But what if I had and only remembered who I was and who you were after it was too late? I don't think I could live with myself," I said to Matthew. "I don't know honey. But it didn't come to that. Now will you please stop crying? All I want to see is a smile on your beautiful face," he said to me.
I tried with all my might and finally stopped crying. I finally smiled at Matthew. "Was that so hard honey?" he asked me. "Yes. But how do we break everyone else out?" I asked him.
(P back to me) I thought for a moment. "Well, Blowhole doesn't know what happened, so he probably thinks I'm dead. And with these marks, that shouldn't be too hard to believe. But you'll have to be feral and stand on top of me, like I am," I said to her.
(P back to Emily) "That sounds like a good plan. And after this is over, I have big news," I said happily to Matthew. "I look forward to hearing it," he said. Then he kissed me. "That's for good luck," Matthew said. "This too," I said to him, kissing him.
He then got flat on the floor and acted like he had been killed. I shivered with that sight. This might have been the result if he hadn't have gotten me back in time. I roared again, going feral.
(P to Marlene) We all heard a roar from many rooms away. "M…mom?" Annabelle asked me nervously. We all shared the fear that Blowhole had made Emily finish off Matthew. "I… I don't know," I said nervously.
Suddenly Blowhole came back. "Well, that was easy. Let's get the rest of you in there, shall we?" he asked us. "You fiend!" Skipper shouted at him angrily. "Thank you," Blowhole replied to him. He shot the black laser at us and we again fell unconscious.
(P to Emily) "Honey, should I jump on Blowhole before or after everyone wakes up, since they're probably unconscious again?" I asked Matthew, with a low growl. Without moving he said, "After." "OK then," I agreed. I got back into my pose for Blowhole.
Suddenly he came back, carrying everyone in again. "I see you took your revenge on this human. Did it feel good to get even?" Blowhole asked me. "It felt great," I said, with an evil laugh, trying to give the impression I wasn't lying.
"That's a great revenge laugh. And that's good that you enjoyed it. Here are the rest of your evil enemies," Blowhole said, dropping them to the floor. "Thank you," I said evilly. "My pleasure," Blowhole said, also evilly. He then left and I stopped being feral. But suddenly Marlene started to wake up.
(P to Marlene) Waking up I saw a body. It was Matthew's. Then I saw Emily standing on top of him. She had done it! Blowhole had made her do it! And now he was going to make us join Matthew in being gone. I burst into tears. My sister had killed her husband and now she was going to kill us.
Suddenly Emily ran over to me, grabbing me. "No! Please no!" I pleaded with her, fearing the end. "Relax Marlene. I got her back," Matthew said. He wasn't dead! I looked at him. "How?" I asked him. "Love. Our love saved us," Emily said to me. "I'm so glad you're both safe and normal again," I said to Emily and Matthew, hugging them.
Then Emily's baby kicked while I was hugging her. "And of course, you too, my little niece or nephew," I said to Emily's belly. Everyone else started to wake up as well. "Uncle Matthew!" both Annabelle and Samuel exclaimed happily, seeing him alive. They jumped into his arms and hugged him. "It great to see you guys too," Matthew said to them.
(P back to me) "How did you survive?" Skipper asked me. "Love. At the last possible moment, I proved my love to Emily," I said, pointing at her. "It's true. That brought me back," Emily said happily. "Kowalski, options," I said to him. "That's my line!" Skipper said to me.
"It's been almost three years and you still can't let that go," I said to him, chuckling. "We'll have to overpower Blowhole and Mind Jack him again, seeing as he has a new Segway," Kowalski said, coming up with a plan. "Should I go feral on him?" Emily asked Kowalski. "Only if you want to. That was not in my plan, but you can do that if you want to," Kowalski said to her.
(P to Emily) "I think I'll do that, in order to keep up this ruse. Now please scatter," I started to say, before shivering with that horrible thought. "Relax honey. You don't have to finish that sentence. You never did that," Matthew said to me, bringing me out of my shivering. "Thank you honey," I said to him, getting enough energy to jump up and kiss him.
But he caught me before I could land back down. "We don't want to injure the baby honey," he said to me as he placed me carefully on the floor. I smiled at him. He was going to love the news that we had two children coming. "Sorry," I said, giggling and blushing.
Everyone scattered themselves over the room for us to fool Blowhole. "Sis, I need to act like I had actually done it. Do you mind?" I asked Marlene. "If it means finishing this, yes. But not for too long please. You might crush me," Marlene said. I knew she was talking about the children. "Sure thing sis," I said to her.
I roared once again, getting feral and trying to sound triumphant. I stood on Marlene. Suddenly, Blowhole came back. "Wow. You made short work of all of them. Good job," Blowhole said to me. I got off Marlene and started walking over to him. "Thank you. I couldn't have done this without your help," I said to Blowhole.
"It's no trouble at all," he said to me with an evil laugh. I still kept being feral. After laughing for a minute, I finally had gotten over to a good jumping spot. "Um, you can return yourself to normal now," Blowhole said to me curiously.
I didn't even respond to that before I jumped on him, knocking him off the Segway. "Now!" I called for everyone. "You broke free! How?!" Blowhole asked me angrily, trying to get me off. I didn't have my claws in him, but I still had more than enough strength to keep Blowhole down.
"Love," we all said. "That emotion is worthless," Blowhole said. Everyone jumped onto Blowhole as I jumped off. "It's your honor honey," Matthew said to me, indicating the Mind Jacker. "Thank you. Any last thing to say?" I asked Blowhole. "You can't keep a dolphin down. I will return one day," Blowhole shouted, trying to get everyone off.
"Good luck with that," I said to him sarcastically, smirking. I pressed the Mind Jacker's button and as soon as everyone had jumped off Blowhole, pressed the button, removing his memories. "Who am I?" Blowhole asked us after a minute.
"You're Flippy. Seaville's 2nd-most popular performer. And we'll return you to there now," I said to him. "2nd? I need to try harder," Blowhole said to us. Matthew activated the Portal and set it to Seaville. "Well, good luck," I said to him, managing to carry him to the Portal. "Thank you, Otter lady," he said to me before I threw him through it.
I then lost all my energy. As I was about to fall to the floor, Matthew caught me. I always loved when he was human and could pick me up in his arms. I yawned. I was about to fall asleep. I needed to tell Matthew the news before I fell asleep. "Honey… I found out… How many children… We're going to," I said before I yawned twice in a row.
(P back to me) "We're going to… have… two… children. Two… children," Emily said to me, nearly whispering, before falling asleep. Two children! We were going to have two children! I was so excited. I felt one kick on one side of Emily's belly and two on the other. I gave my sleeping wife a big hug as we headed out of Blowhole's lair. "I love you," I whispered in her ear.
You all thought this was going to be a horrifying chapter, didn't you? Well, I sure turned that around. Please rate and review this chapter. I have no notes today.
