Scrapped - Chapter 12 - Toasted
I wait impatiently. 'Why aren't they here yet?' I think. Then I see her: a white dot in the distance, getting closer. She's here, but she's alone- Vixen.
"Did you find him?" I ask bitterly. She shakes her head 'no.' this infuriates me.
"How could you not? It was so simple!" I yell. "That's it - get out. I don't even want to have to look at you anymore." I spit. Vixen walks away. She's gone now.
Then, my morals return.
'What are you doing? She could have helped us! You should have given her another chance!" I scold myself. I get so angry that I start to rip my stomach apart, fur pieces falling on the ground. I loose vision in one eye. I continue tearing my body apart until I fall down, passing out.
When I wake up, I am staring down at my hard plastic body - the one I belong in. I stand up once again to search for BB. I wake up again, and this time cautiously feel my face, to make sure this is real. I conclude that it is. However, the sky above me is black, and the temperature very hot.
'Wait… This can't be real…' I look around for more clues to tell me what's going on, and I see trees. The trees in the direction we had been traveling away from are… orange? No. They're on fire. I jump up, fearing for the lives of Chica, Bonbon, and BB.
"Get up!" I yell at their sleeping bodies. I pull BB up to his feet and he wakes up, sees the fire, and screams. Bonbon and Chica wake up and see it also, staring at it, frightened, not knowing what to do. "Let's run, c'mon!" I yell, taking BB's hand and running, the fire beginning to catch up Bonbon gets up and runs with us. Chica, however, is still glued to her spot, staring up at the fire in fear. I stop running and yell,
"Chica!" She doesn't move. I let go of BB and rush over to her, the fire getting closer by the second. "Chica, let's go!" I say, trying to pull her up. She doesn't move. "Chica, come on; we need to go!" Nothing. "Chica, snap out of it!" I yell, shaking her shoulders. "Chica!" The fire is getting closer and closer still, almost engulfing us. Panicking, I slap her across the beak.
Chica blinks and looks at me with her large, magenta eyes.
"I'm sorry. I had to. We need to go!" I explain frantically. We get up and start running, and so does the fire behind us. Bonbon and BB are long gone by this point, somewhere in the forest ahead. We are now neck and neck with the raging monstrosity. I hear an earsplitting crackling sound on my left, and a once towering pine tree crashes down, blocking the path. I leap over it, with some difficulty, though. I turn back and see Chica. She doesn't seem to have noticed the log- blinded by the smoke, and trips over the fallen giant.
"Chica!" I cry.
"Teddy!" she calls back, stretching an arm out. I want to go and save her, but the flames are too close. No sense in both of us dying. I can only watch as the orange flames start moving even closer to Chica, next to Chica, and then in front of Chica. I hear pained screams, pleads for help, and then…nothing. She's gone. The only thing I can think about now is…
"BB."
He's nowhere to be seen. I call out loudly, my shouting only a whisper compared to the fire's loathsome growls. A tree branch falls from above, nearly missing my head, and I run. I run through the burning forest, the pits of hell, doing my best to dodge the trees and other debris in my way. Smoke clouds my vision, and I run into something. I fall on my rear end and try to make out what it was I collided with.
"Teddy?" asks a childish voice in front of me.
"BB? BB, you're here!" I shout gleefully as I start to make out his round, plump figure. "BB, where's Bonbon?" I ask, now thinking about my next priority.
"Well, I was there with him, and he started to run, but I noticed you weren't with us, so I went to find you, and…-"
"Oh, Jesus Christ. We can't talk about this now. We have to keep running." I tell him. We stand and I choose a direction to run in - away from the fire. We soon enter a clearing with thinner smoke than the other parts of the forest. "I need… a break…" I say, feeling my systems begin to overheat. I hear a faint buzzing sound through the fire's ruthless anger.
"Teddy, look," BB says, pointing to a red dot in the sky visible through the smoke.
"What the…" The dot gets bigger as it gets closer, and I can finally recognize it as a red helicopter, sprinkling water over the fire, then hovering back up into the sky. Two more of the helicopters follow in suit after the first one. The fire is becoming mostly extinguished now.
"Wow," says an awe filled BB.
"C'mon, BB. We can't be here if the come back with more water. We know what would happen."
"Right." I pick a direction and we walk for about a half hour before running into a deep canyon that doesn't seem to end on either side. It looks sort of similar to the one CC jumped off of.
'How do we get across…?' I ask myself. BB is now peering over the side of the cliff, almost close to falling over.
"BB…" I say calmly and quietly, panicking on the inside. "Please just…just back up a little bit…" I say, not wanting to startle him into falling. He backs up a foot. "That's a start. Why don't you stand over there?" I suggest, pointing to a tree, now a charcoal tower.
"Okay…" BB says reluctantly, trudging over to the dead tree and leaning against it. The tree starts crackling at the trunk and crashes down. BB yelps and dodges the toppling disaster. It lands, almost perfectly spread out across the cliff. I gawk. 'Of all the miracles…' I think.
"I suppose we cross it now…" I say, a bit nervously, doubting the safety of this new bridge. I walk over and carefully put a foot on it. Some charred pieces fall off and tumble towards the bottom of the hungry, waiting, pit. It's not the safest option - it's the only option. It'll have to do.
"Okay, BB. Let's cross. Slowly." I walk a little ways and hear footsteps behind me as BB climbs on the singed log. We shuffle across the tree, about halfway there, and I hear a stumble behind me.
"Teddy!" I turn around. BB slips on the log and slides down one of the sides, but grabs onto a branch that luckily happened to be close enough for BB to hold on to. The young child dangles above the cliff floor, at least half a mile below, surely a devastating fall. I creep back along the log to the spot where BB hangs, and try to reach down without losing balance.
"Okay, BB. Just hold on. Can you grab onto my h-" Oh, no. it's happening again. I feel myself start to freeze up, as I had done yesterday during one of our breaks. I am frozen, unable to do anything but watch in horror, as BB struggles.
"Teddy, help me! Please!" he cries. His branch makes a few crunching sound. "Teddy!" I force myself to start moving again, and it sure as hell isn't easy. I hardly move at all, inch by inch, I bend down closer to BB. The branch weakens at the point where it's connected to the tree.
"I can't hold on much longer! Teddy, PLEASE!" Tears start falling down BB's face, running down his cheeks, and down towards the bottom of the hellhole. BB loses part of his grip, falters, and then only has one arm holding on to the branch. I fight my flawed systems a bit more, then finally break through them…
just as BB's grip breaks.
So that was chapter 12. Lol, when I first showed my friend this chapter, she finished it and then gave me the death stare… I guess it really was a cliff hanger! until it wasn't…. I can't say when the next Chapter will happen. Hope to be next week. Like I said, I lost most of this chapter when I cleaned my room. (I like my mess to be organized!) Sorry for that. Soap it doesn't happen again. KAY BYE LAUREN!
