Here's some response to reviews as they are actually getting to be at a number I like:
Numbervania: Yeah, no. I had to start it out someway and if Grim was able to form a better defense, the story wouldn't be able to pick up again. I actually didn't think the switching between the play and plan was good enough, but if you liked it then everything's alright.
Lord Xantos A. Fowl: I try.
aza7-aza207: Yes! One more reader caught back on track. I realized that the story was becoming to lax and I was beginning to lose more reviews at it went. I'm trying not to write a M-fic until the administrators get off their high chairs. This ain't public television, know what I mean?
crazycherry459: I am the best, bow down bow down.(I'm joking, I'm not that conceited. I ahve nothing to show for it, lol.)
BrotherGrimSVSD: Trust me, trying to get what she says is not easy by any means. I actually use this site www dot ibequeaththee slash olde english dot com. It's the best place to figure out what words can be used as Minnie's speech, get me?
And to the guest who was little more forceful than I thought anyone would get on me about this story, trust me, if I had my way, you wouldn't have had to threaten me to get it *grins widely*
Now on to the story!
Prompt: A Sinful Silence in Limbo
"I really don't understand as to how you let that bastard into the castle without knowing."
"Ya don understand, he won't Lu till he un-possessed da body."
Jr. and Minnie stood off to the side as Mandy and Grim argued how Lucifer the ruler of Hell had gotten into Castle Grim. Still, Jr. felt the fault was his entirely anyway. Of course, Adram wasn't a part of the scheme; he wasn't stupid enough to cross the Queen and stay.
Jr. sighed as they continued on and on about the stolen scythe as well as the break in, not to mention Grim's loss of powers.
"Now, all I have to show for it is a fucking whip! Grim, you know how sadism gives me a migraine."
Jr. walked away, Minnie following her brother to the stairs.
"Brother, prithee, would thou have wit that an ally can be an enemy instead?"
"Minnie, I allowed him in. I didn't even ask or question if it was alright, I just let them in. I mean, sure, Adram and Lilith are cool, but I wouldn't have known that, I just let them waltz right in."
"Thither, thou wouldn't have known. Thou wouldn't have known of the fiery Adram or the fair Lilith. Naught of this is any fault of yours."
Jr. smiled and pulled her to him, rubbing his forehead against hers, a deep rumble erupting from his throat, coaxing one from her as well.
"Enough with the bullshit, we need to get down to business. Jr., get your love-happy ass in here!"
Jr. didn't gulp as he would have before the powers. He had the ability to defend not only himself, but his love as well, even if his Mom still made him shake every once in a while.
"What's up, Mom?"
"We're going after him."
"What?"
"Mother, thou can't be true?"
"Yes, we are."
"Who? You, Minnie and me? Dad can't go; he's too busy stoned."
Both Minnie and Mandy looked at him with bland looks. Jr. had the decency to sheepish.
"I thought it was funny."
"Bad jokes aside, we need to get the scythe back. Since you want to take blame, you are going to come with me to get it back."
"Well, it sure as hell can't be just us going in."
"Says who? I'm going to get my property back. It belongs to me and I will kill everyone who stands in my way, is that understood?"
"…Mother, I do believe thou art taking this more than just a theft."
"Minnie, I'm gonna go with a head nod and just do as Mom says. I think she's completely serious. Hey, Adram, get Charles, we're going on a little field trip!"
TLTS
Jr. stood before his father, sheepishly rubbing his boney head.
"Umm, Dad?"
"Whot is it, Son?"
"I, uh, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. This is kinda my fault, I let him in and I didn't even think he could be someone we should look out for."
"Bah! Jr., you couldn't 'ave known dat he was a Prince of Hell."
"I-I guess."
"…Ya gonna need dis before dis lil adventure ya Mudda is bringing ya on is done. It's da last power dat I have, de only reason I was able ta keep it is because it's in a league of power dat's far deeper den just me scythe."
"What is it?"
"…And they were given power over a fourth over the Earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the realm. And I looked and there before me was the Pale Horse and its rider's name was Death!"
"Huh?"
"I can't do it in dis form, but since you are Death Jr., you have the power to control over da horse of Death, Despair."
"Despair, huh? And he'll come when I say that whole mumbo jumbo mess?"
"Yes, boy. Don be a smartass."
"Just saying, Dad. I've never seen you do it before and besides, how do you know I can do it?"
"All Reapers, whether young or old, can be da Pale Rider. It's all in dem. It's in you too. Trust me."
Jr. looked down at his feet.
"Son, you are going ta be bettah den me. You are Death and you come with the wrath of him as well."
Jr. looked up in pride.
TLTS
The gathered group stood inside the ballroom. Outside, skeleton servants and guards were all checking each room, making sure the scythe was the only thing stolen. Mandy was on edge and if the Queen was unhappy, the world would suffer in a pit of darkness.
"So, we're just gonna waltz in with the hopes of just grabbing the scythe and walking back out?"
"I don't care how it's done. If you would like…"
She bent down to him, getting in his face and glaring hard at him.
"…you stay back and allow for me to clean up your mess."
Jr. gritted his teeth. It was a low blow, but he knew his mother and he asked for that one.
"I'm coming."
Mandy stood and walked past him. She reached out and he gave her his scythe. Minutes later, they were walking through fires that made Jr's bones crackle.
"This isn't Hell, just the gates to it. We won't be in Hell until the land turns to ice."
Jr. remembered. He remembered walking in the land of those who hadn't chosen a savior, who hadn't sinned, but were in perpetual motion of nothingness.
He had been there, along with a girl with no hands, someone who he promised he would save, someone who he could fulfill his promise to now that he had that power.
"How long do you think it'll take?"
That was all he got out before the fires were snuffed and in their stead, he was looking at a plain of ice and mountain. He looked behind him and darkness crept in.
"This is the First circle of Hell. We are close to those of sin, of unholy decadence."
"C'mon, we need to keep moving or the souls in Limbo will see us."
Everyone started into the snow. Jr. knew what would happen next. He'd seen what happened next in the past, the first time he'd lost Minnie.
"Watch out for any wandering girls in white d-OOF!"
Jr. had only gotten most of the sentence out before he was hit in the chest by said girl in white dress.
"Again? Seriously, Mimi, we need to work on your people skills."
The mute red-eyed girl stared at him in fear. Or at least, fear from what had been chasing her.
"OH, MY! What do we have here?! You got a boyfriend! Oh, Goodie! Now we can all play!
We'll play hide and-!"
"Back off pedo-freak!"
Jr. didn't waste time in formalities. He brandished his scythe and held it menacingly to the ice cream man.
"You don't want to play little boy?!"
"Come near me and I will aim downwards, understand?"
He ran and all that was left was the group along with a frightened Mimi. He didn't want to hold her too close, but he couldn't help himself. Not that Minnie had any qualms of pulling the two away from each other.
"Brother, thou art getting away from the task at hand. Thou know of this girl?"
"Uhhh, no?"
Even Adram had the decency to look suspicious. He shrugged before standing. Now all that remained was-
"Jeff, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Mom?!"
"HUH?!"
It was a loud chorus, but it got the message across.
"Everyone, this is…Jeff."
"Hey, everyone!"
His giant fangs made everybody, but Jr. and Mimi a little apprehensive.
"He was an egg a friend of mine decided he wanted to hatch. The question is, why are you here?"
"Well, I'm here because of little Mimi."
All eyes turned to the girl that was hiding behind Junior like a frightened kitten. Jr. shook his head as he could only allow what was happening to continue.
TLTS
Everyone rested in the cave. It was completely like Jr. remembered, but it wasn't like anyone else would. He had to keep it to himself. Only Minnie had any vague idea and even he hadn't told her about Mimi.
"So… cocoa, anyone?"
"Jeff, cut the chit-chat. We're looking for a way into Hell completely. Can we go through here?"
"Well, I guess, but why would you want to go into Hell, Mommy?"
Mandy shivered, as did everyone else. Jr. certainly didn't know about Jeff like that and certainly could have done without that particular piece of knowledge.
"Stop calling me that. I am not your mother."
"But you tried to bite off my head. That just has to make you my Mommy."
"ENOUGH! Show us the way into Hell or so help me you'll get a spanking that make every mother look like a fucking Care Bear, understand me?"
Jeff would have nodded, but a voice drifted from within the recess of the cave.
"Oh, Mandeline. Soooo maidenly like always. I wonder if you do parties."
Everyone turned to look into the dark to see a tall man of ruby red swagger out. They were too distracted to see Jeff about to ensnare them within the web. Seconds later, everyone was stuck to the rock of the cave.
"Son of a bitch! Jeff, I am so going to beat your ass when I get out of here."
"I'm sorry Mommy. Really, but he said he'll give me something that should be precious to us both, right?"
"Jeff, I told you this before, Billy hates fucking spiders! Anything that crawls on the ground, flies, or has more than four legs makes him jump into the air! Did you just ignore me the first damn time I told you that?!"
"Oh, don't get the boy so downtrodden. I need him happy, or at least willing to work with me…SO BE QUIET!"
Mandy literally glared holes into HIM's head, but then huffed, as if she knew something that would make his world crumble underneath him.
"Oh, c'mon. You don't think I know your real name? HIM, or should I say Mihnos? The Judge, the snake, the lap dog of the Princes of Hell."
"SSSSHUT UP!"
Mandy leaned back into the rock, satisfied that she had messed with HIM's head enough to make him feel just a little more insignificant. HIM turned to Jr. with intent.
"Your mother may just get you in a lot of trouble, boy."
"Trust me, I can handle myself."
Jr. smugly growled out before he snapped his jaws out at HIM. At first, HIM just bent back and looked surprised. Then a piece of his goatee fell from his face.
Jr. took a claw to the face. It hurt, but Nergal healing helped. HIM was not amused, but then again, HIM never really liked being messed with.
"So it seems you fell into the trap that has been set. How lovely."
"Still talking flamboyantly I see. Mihnos, has it ever occurred to you that you may be gay?"
"Mimi, if you could?"
The now reddened, silent girl slapped large piece of duck tape against Mandy's mouth. The Queen narrowed her eyes at the small girl who only proceeded to lick a lollipop.
"Thank you, precious."
"Oh, HIM, I am so beating ass when I escape."
"Such language. Mandy, you taught your children so well. But enough with the chit-chat, hmm? I know why you all are here. Especially you Adram."
Adram growled, but didn't even turn to look at Him.
"First, how about we change the ambiance, yes?"
What was a cave with the outside flurrying a storm began to crumble and break away, the snowy mountains now farther than what they seemed and darkness eating at the picture. Now to the groups immediate left was a giant chamber. Several stories of cells stood on the left and right of a large stage and in the middle stood a spiked rotor. There was blood everywhere, it almost made Jr. gag.
"I wanted to redecorate, but you have to keep up in appearances, yes?"
"What the hell is all this?"
"EXACTLY! You are standing at the precipice of the Sinner's tier. The Next level is where the true fun begins, but I don't rule over that, unfortunately.
I would looooove to have power over those who lust so easily.
"King Mihnos, thou art sickening a being. Thine meaning has been corrupted and now, thou art perverse and a certain wretch."
"Oh, Minnie! I almost forgot you were here. How are you?"
"Thou shalt not speak to me in such a familiar manner."
"But that talk! It's the only thing I can't stand. It's the same reason I had to figure out a way get Mimi to stop yelling for her mother every second of the day."
If anyone else had noticed how Mimi reacted to the word 'mother', Jr. didn't take notice. Her eyes flashed bright red before her head lowered to look at her feet.
"It's the only way to have divorcee children."
"You sick fuck."
HIM turned his attention back to Jr. He nodded at Mimi and Jr. got a face full of STFU.
"…Ouch. Now I know how that angel felt."
"How about you be a good little boy and no more cussing, huh?"
Jr. rolled his neck around, trying to get the pain from stinging to end. He really needed to get out of this web. He was actually in the process already, his tail cutting a light sliver from inside and trying not to look too suspicious, when a green portal opened up from the stage. Once again, he caught amethyst, a strong violet that made him almost look away. They weren't looking at him this time, but at HIM. Soon, more colored eyes as well as new faces came from behind, exiting the realm from which they came.
"Mihnos. Seems, you have caught our guests?"
"Oh, Lu, you should really knock before you come. At least then I get to announce you."
"I don't think aquiantances need to be in order. They know of me."
Lucifer; ruler of Hell and its demon, angel fallen from grace, he who's most unclean. Having parents who ruled the Underworld, you needed to know else you ruled along side of. The others, though, he didn't actually have much of a clue.
"Well, Lu, everyone has to know who you are. But I don't expect the young ones to know too much of your brothers."
One of them, the one with the red eyes, snarled at HIM while the green-eyed one glared at Lucifer's back.
"Satan, calm yourself. Leviathan, even your name is known."
The two heeled and Lucifer smirked at Jr. He could just feel his hackles raise. The Nergal in him roared to life, hoping Lucifer would get in reach of his claws. Only, said claws were stuck to the wall so that was a no go.
"So this is the next ruler of the Underworld? Not exactly much to look at."
"You let me outta this web, I'll show just how much I am to look at. Your lackey lost a piece of his monkey scruff because he go too close."
HIM didn't take the bait. He stood off to the side as if Jr. wasn't enough of his time. He answered at any rate.
"You may not think I deserve the title of the Judge of Souls, but I think I'M PRETTY HOT STUFF!"
"Control, Mihnos. You're going to let a child provoke you? I certainly wouldn't."
HIM huffed and turned away like a child throwing a tantrum. Lucifer shrugged it away and walked up to the Royals.
"I do believe you are here because I have something you want, right?"
Mandy had finally chewed the tape into her mouth before spitting it out to speak.
"Lucifer, I will give you ten seconds to give me back what is mine, is that understood? Or I will show you how to make a true nightmare world looks like."
"How is Gaz?"
"And there's your tongue."
Lucifer chuckled and swaggered away. He gestured out from his body, as if insulted.
"I can't believe such insolence from lesser beings. Brothers, what say you?"
The Seven laughed and it made the Royals glare hard. The one to speak was with blue eyes, dark almost ocean-like.
"I do believe it's the Queen who is at fault here. Mothers are in themselves are problem."
Jr. noticed Mimi had once again flashed her eyes. He smirked. Just a little more and that would set off an escape. He felt his tail finally grow an inch of wiggle room and he began slicing the side of the web that held his right hand. He called out to the man that actually was looking just a little feminine.
"I wouldn't if I were you. You may just start something that will end in a very bad accident."
"Asmodeus, I would probably listen to him if I were you."
"C'mon, Lucifer, you don't think this little short stuff will actually be able to do anything. The way we manipulated his mother, he's probably weaker than her."
"'Deus, I'm warning you. You'll start something you won't be able to finish."
Jr. looked at Mandy. Her red eyes glowed and her mouth twitched as if wanting to pull into a snarl. What was this guy talking about?
"Oh, you don't know? Your mommy dearest didn't exactly give birth twice because she loved children, if that weren't obvious enough."
HIM looked over to where Mimi was and he knew he had to stop this before things really did get out of hand.
"Asmodeus, I really don't think this wise."
"Oh, come now, Mihnos. Don't tell me you are as afraid as my brother?"
"The boy isn't the threat you want to worry about."
He pointedly looked at Mimi, but that didn't stop Asmodeus from slinking over to her. He smiled greatly as he went closer.
"What? Does the whole Mommy thing put a damper on the mute cutiepie?"
Mimi didn't look at him. All she did was stare at the ground. Asmodeus put his mouth to her ear, his grin still as wide.
"And what about your mother? Has Mihnos told you what he's done to her?"
Mimi shot her head up and look at HIM, her claws swinging at her side. HIM cursed; Asmodeus didn't know what he just did. Face full of STFU followed next. Asmodeus flew from the ground and onto the stage. He was laughing the entire time.
"OH, come and GET ME MIMI!"
The one named Satan pulled 'Deus up from his collar. He was sneering at his brother the entire time.
"Come here dumbass. You just have to start things."
"It's in my nature."
Then, Jr. ripped through the webbing and sliced along the side cutting the others open. The Royals jumped down and began running towards the stage. Adram locked eyes with Satan, who would have come forward if not for a hand on his shoulder. Sky blue eyes stared into his own.
"Later; right now, we don't have time."
HIM was too busy watching the Royals make their way to him when a bust of Shakespeare hit him in the stomach. Mimi was making her way towards him, but gone was that of silence and blank emotion. These were full of rage and agony. He turned and the Princes were sinking into the floor before they were gone.
"Shit! Just great."
He turned and looked at the Royals who were finally facing him. He sighed heavily.
"You can never trust your employers these days."
He closed his eyes then heaved his body upwards, fire racing from his feet. Everyone jumped back. Everyone, but Mimi.
She leaped through the fire and pushed HIM out the other side. They landed on stage and once HIM landed on the stone floor, screams of the dead began belting out from the jail cells. His presence stirred up the souls to be judged, but he wasn't exactly ready to judge at this moment.
"Mimi! Somebody, watch Jeff, he might do something stupid again. I got this."
Everyone watched as Jr. leapt onto the stage and brandished his scythe. He took at step only to immedietly fall back. He wanted to help, but Mimi would cut him a scathing look and toss a shuriken where his foot would have been. Minnie hopped to his side.
"Canst thou do something? Thou fere is in a bind."
"She won't let me help, she keeps throwing stars at me…think you can get her away long enough."
"But this bout is personal. The maiden shalt finish him herself if she hath such a chance."
"…Then we're going to have to make her let us help. Time for some Nergal speed."
Their eyes slitted and soon, the entire world was moving too slow for them. Minnie was focused on getting Mimi further away from HIM. Jr. was more of showing Him who the Prince of the Underworld was.
TLTS
This person, this thing took her from her mother. She had to fight through the coldness in her heart, through the stoic feelings that blanketed the rage she held within her. She was who she was because he made her this way.
Often, he called himself her father, but she refused to believe it. In her mind, her father was different. He wasn't red at all. Well, except she was sure his hair had a somewhat reddish tint, maybe orange. She couldn't fully rememeber his face, but she saw her own in the reflective lenses that hid his. He had strong arms and was tall. Really tall, even taller than her mother.
She remembered her mother and that was who she was fighting for. This guardian of hers was going to tell her whether he liked it or not. She would bash his head in until-
A flash of gold passed in front of her and she was blown gently back. That girl, the girl who had the grey eyes and talked funny. She was standing in front of her, in her way and in the way of finding out what happened to her mother and getting revenge for what happened to her father. To her aunts. To her family!
She pulled a hammer out of thin air, the side reading GET OUTTA THE WAY and smashed it where the girl was standing. She was kicked in her chest, and the hammer flew out of her hand. So she wanted to play? She tilted her head to the side and let her STFU iron hang from her claw. Let's play.
TLTS
Jr. flipped over a cutting claw coming for his midsection. He twirled his scythe in his hand, trying get Him distracted enough that he wouldn't see the slice coming. HIM, instead, leaned back before he headbutted Jr., making him fly back on the stage.
"Boy, you are not going be enough. I fought little girls tougher than you."
Jr. growled and leaped high, spinning erratically and coming down hard with his scythe. HIM brought his claws up, sparks flying from where the two met.
"Just you isn't going to be enough."
Jr. flipped backwards and set his scythe beside him. He got onto his hands and feet and let his tail grab his scythe, coiling it round and round. His mouth grew fangs and he seemed to shimmer.
"Fucking bite me."
Then he was off. HIM tossed flames at him, yet not being able to catch him in time to stop the mauling he received. They both fell to the ground and HIM threw his head around to keep the scythe from cutting off more than just his beard. He kicked his legs up to wrapped them around Jr's neck before thrusting him off.
"C'mon boy, fight like you mean it."
Jr. roared! He grabbed his scythe from his tail and sprouted his wings, tossing into the air violently. Then, he was tangled in from behind, making him fall to the rock. They hit it hard and Jr. groaned. Tangled in with him was Minnie and Mimi, both still trying to go at each other with Jr. in between. Jr. got frustrated as he was getting stepped on and hit repeatedly.
"Will you both-please, Minnie, Mimi, calm down-FUCKING STOP!"
Easily, the girls stopped to look at him as he stood. He dusted himself off and cracked his back. He glared at both of them, Minnie the only one with the decency to look perturbed.
"Why are you fighting? He's the enemy, the bastard that started this. Mimi, I know you want him yourself, but don't you get it? We can help."
Mimi looked away, a slight glare, but a shrug as she stood. She pushed them out of the way and made her way to HIM.
"Oh, so you'll help them? Your mother was nothing and you want to save her? She is nothing then and she is NOTHING NOW!"
Face full of STFU.
Jr. and Minnie quickly acted, crossing each other and running to HIM. Their tails started trailing on the stone, sparks flying.
HIM looked up just in time to lean away from the slicing tails. Mimi took that chance to deck him on in the abs. He bent forward, spit flying from his mouth. That gave the go for Jr. and Minnie to kick HIM in the face. But it backfired and HIM grabbed both of their ankles, spinning around and hitting Mimi in the chest. She flew back, taking Minnie with her. HIM was able catch Jr's neck in his now free hand. He slammed Jr. in to the ground.
"I AM DONE!"
HIM pulled a knife from out of nowhere. Mimi stood up and Minnie looked at her before tossing the downed scythe at her. Mimi caught it.
"NO MORE PRINCE OF THE UNDERWORLD!"
The flash of blade flew through the air and blood was spilt. Jr. looked up and blood spilled onto his chest. His scythe hung from the chest of the corrupted Judge. HIM was gasping, his eyes bulging. He sat on the balls of his knees and looked down at the weapon sticking from his chest. He looked up before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell to the floor.
Mimi stood above Jr. Her eyes were wide and her mouth slightly open. Jr. stood up and looked at the blood on his hoodie.
"Well, that's the end of that."
TLTS
Mimi crawled over each jail cell, hoping to the Heavens her mother was in one. She just had to be here. He would bait her that she was watching her, waiting for her to reunite. Taunt her with a lie that they would be together and her mother only needed to become more accepting that that man was her father, that red being who made people only cry.
She guessed this was the incentive she needed. With people at her backing, she was able to actually get what she wanted.
This wasn't the first time she had attacked her so called 'father'. It was only this time; she was able to actually follow through. If she found her mother, maybe it would change many things. Her mother was strong and she had to still be there for her, for Mimi.
Mimi started to tear up.
"MIMI!"
TLTS
The Royals surrounded the body of the judge. Mandy was really pissed she wasn't the one to kill him so she began to kick him in his stomach.
"Fucking bastard. Dare taking what's mine, I can't wait to get to those idiots who still have what belongs to me."
"My lady, please? He will awake sooner or later, he is king of this realm."
"I hope he does wake up, just so I can do him in myself!"
Jr. shook his head before turning to Jeff who was coaxing Mimi from the stacked jail cells. She was looking down, but only occasionally as she searched the cells for her mother. He held Minnie closer to him and she breathed in his scent.
"Mimi, please! Come down…I know where she is."
Mimi was on the stage within seconds. Jeff looked apologetic, but more so for telling her than not.
"B-but I don't know…if this will be the way you want to see her."
Mimi was frantic, her wide eyes tearing and shaking Jeff and searching the cells. He shook his head.
"I told her I would protect you, even if that meant not letting you see her this way."
TLTS
Jr. never wanted this. He thought that Mimi's mom wasn't as bad as she really was. Whatever she had been wearing had been torn on her body. What most likely was originally amber luster hair became a dirty orange and it framed a sunken face.
"S-she made me promise that until she died, you were never to see her. Blossom, I'm so sorry."
Jeff turned away as Mimi shuffled along the filthy floor to her mother. She fell to her knees before her. Jr. hid Minnie's frightened eyes in his collar, hoping to God she didn't see the woman as the rest stood behind him in the doorway of a hidden cell behind the stage. Not only was she covered in filth, but other disgust he never could wish on another. HIM made her suffer, but left her with enough strength to live. Now, he wanted to kill HIM; again and again until he was sure he suffered ten times as much as this woman had.
Mimi looked into her mother's eyes, wishing for that pink light to come back in them. She shook her shoulders and it got some recognition.
"Muh-Mimi?"
Mimi nodded her head vigorously, smiling as her tears began falling. The woman, Blossom, grinned and opened her arms.
"Come here, my little love."
Mimi crushed herself into Blossoms arms. She cried hard and Blossom did her best to pat her back with her boney arms.
"Shshsssshhh, it's okay. Oh my, you look so different, I wish your father were here to see you."
It's was obvious to see she was delusional; not recogninzing the red skin her daughter now had around her. That didn't change the factor that Jr. had to turn away from the sight that was making him breath harder.
"Jeff, why didn't you bring me to her sooner?"
"Y-you told me not to. I had…no choice."
Jeff sniffled and turned away.
"Oh, Jeff, I'm not mad. Well, actually, I'm pretty tired."
Mimi looked up to her mother, her eyes confused.
"Sorry, I know you just got to see me, but I think I should take my sleep. We have to get outta here soon, huh?"
Mimi shook her head immediately, wanting to voice her displeasure, but after years of non-use, she didn't know how.
Mandy nodded. There was a difference of time between the human realm and the several Underworlds, including her own. In Hell, time fluxed unnaturally. It could be a thousand years early or even in the future. Blossom and Mimi had been here for years apparently, but on Earth, Megaville had just been destroyed.
"I can feel it. I think I've been awake for long enough, waiting up for you, Minka. When I wake up, I'll be with your father and then, we'll be waiting for you together, okay?"
Blossom seemed to just realize her fate, but Mimi sobbed and shook her head profusely. This wasn't fair! She just GOT HER!
"I love you, little one. As does your father and auntie's, okay."
Mimi nodded and smiled weakly. It wasn't fair. Blossom smiled as bright as she could, before her eyes closed again. Then she was gone. Out of all the tears and saddened eyes the group gave, who else, but Mimi's felled the most.
"How is your brother?"
"Doing fine. He's gonna love that you're coming, he hasn't stopped asking about you yet!"
"I can imagine. And my sisters?"
"Good as well. Me and Bubbles are ballet instructors of Heaven now."
"As expected…will my daughter be okay?"
"Her fate is in short stuff's hands now."
As Jr. let the angry tears spill from his eyes, he looked to his right. At first he couldn't see through the water, but light shone in the darkness and he saw two figures. He saw her, Blossom, standing across the way along with another with blonde hair. They were looking at him and nodding. He blinked and they were gone.
"She is your responsibility now. Please care for her."
Okay, so the reason for the absence of book reading is because of school. Me and my Beta have been a bit busy with getting accostumed to the time schedules we have to keep and jobs. Well, my job, I have yet to ask BB if she(?) has a job, but it's private so it'd be like- Now I'm just rambling.
Yes, let the triangle begin! With this, I can switch the book cover to something more appropriate. Not only that, the plot begins to thicken as a plan that will most likely end up with some very hard decisions.
