Author's Note:
Chapter 38. Well, it's time for some of these relationships to go down, as you could probably tell by the title. If I can remember (these chapters usually take a few days to complete with my rushed schedule), I'll add a little spoiler for those of you concerned about your headcanons and OTPs. Anyways, these next chapters are going to be a bit on the sad side, and the first part of this chapter should let you know why.
SAFETY! WARNING! SPOILER!: There's a bit of lime in this. Be warned.
Tap it, Crisper. There will be no hitting for a short while...
Cripser: Awww... (taps it)
"What do you need now?" The gruff voice growled over the phone. Odd smiled at this, this hatred in the other man's voice. Why?
Because he knew the man he was asking for would be even more so filled witht hat loathing.
"I need to talk to someone horrible."
"Horrible? How bad?"
"I don't know... maybe... Admiral Odium?" There was a long pause.
"I'll hook you up." There was a loud click, signaling that the man he had just talked to was hooking up Odd's call.
To the Nether!
After a few minutes' wait, the line cracked to life.
"Who is this?" A calm, smooth but all the more cruel voice asked. Odd laughed, not nervously though. He had a bit of devil-credit for his "good-deeds" in the past, so this was no problem for him.
"It's me, Odd-Abhor. I came to ask you a favor."
"Go on." He replied.
"I need you to come down here and help me cause a bit of... trouble." Odium laughed and Odd grinned with dark expectations.
"Don't turn around." He cooed before hanging up. Odd laughed to himself.
"I always saw something in you, Odd, but as you've just mentioned, it's time for me to show you how it's done." Odd's smile grew when he heard the voice coming from directly behind him. He crisply turned around, saluting as he did.
"Admiral Odium, looking dastardly as usual." He greeted, on the brink of maniacal laughter. Odium could see the tension building up in the inexperienced heartbreaker, not caring to smile about it at all. Sure Odd was mostly good at what he did, he had a bad way of looking cool in front of higher people, which made him come off as annoying.
"Ready to see hatred at work?"
"You bet!"
"So, what exactly are we dealing with?"
Odd grinned. "Interesting mixture. Kinda got Weirdo to sign a death-certificate, guranteed. I just want a painful way of pulling it. Two other weak couples, but one of them is pretty flicky if you ask me." He rubbed his chin. Odium chuckled.
"Well, as I like to say 'Divide and conquer'." He dramatically popped his fingers for effect. "Now let's see who's going to find that GoPro camera?"
POV Switch
Creepers, creepers everywhere!
In my pants, in my hair!
Buying all my old-world fare.
In my car, in my lair!
Creepers, creepers everywhere!
"AAAAAAHH!" Ocelott screamed awake from another one of her infamous nightmares. She quickly turned on the bedside lamp, panting heavily. After a few seconds, she cooled off a bit. She looked out the window. The sun shone brilliantly for it being such a horrifying morning. At that point, Itscartooncookie would've sat up and asked her about her nightmare, but he didn't. She even couldn't hear the silent noise of LonelyWhistler!
"Uhh... guys?" She slowly turned around, seeing in Itscartooncookie's bed a mass underneath the red covers. She walked to the bed and lifted the covers, coming face to face with Freddy Fazbear him-freakin' self!
"Bonnie's the gaaal."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Itscartooncookie jerked awake as he screamed like a girl. His chilled, sweaty clothes and tense breathing coldly reminded him that it was simply a nightmare. Clenching the blankets with his fist, he looked out the window, seeing the dark sky. The moonlight shone down on a still sleeping Ocelott. Finding a bit of relief in the reality he was once again in, he turned around. "YEEEPS!" The shockingly close proximity of LonelyWhistler caused the jumpy boy to yelp while LonelyWhistler stared back at him an inch away as Itscartooncookie flinched out of bed. LonelyWhistler stared at him emotionlessly for a few seconds before he helped the startled boy to his feet and sat him on the bed. "Lonely, you really can't just... pop up like that! You're gonna give me a heart-attack!" He shivered while Lonely stared back with his blackish-purple eyes. Itscartooncookie locked eyes with him for a few seconds. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked. Lonely said nothing, continuing to stare. Itscartooncookie, feeling a bit awkward, shook his head in dismay. "You're creeping me out." He stated before rolling over in bed and pulling the cover over his head. Lonely sighed peacefully. "What?" Itscartooncookie asked, slightly annoyed that his best friend was suddenly bent on making sure he didn't get any sleep. Lonely stared for a few seconds, his eyes darting away occasionally as if to ask 'Why are you staring at me?'. Itscartooncookie groaned before pulling the cover back over his head. "Go back to sleep, Whistler!" He moaned. Lonely sighed once more before retiring to his bed for some sleep. After a few seconds, the two drifted off before Ocelott sat up, a horrified expression on her face.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She wailed into the night. Itscartooncookie sat up and screamed in frustration. LonelyWhistler was fast asleep.
The next morning Itscartooncookie awoke to sunlight, rather than the night that he dreaded. Yawning and stretching, he glanced at his alarm clock whose bright red quartz digits read 11:23. "Goodmorning, everybody!" He yawned to no one in certain. LonelyWhistler sat up in bed without a sound while Ocelott slowly awoke.
"I had the best dream ever!" She cheered happily.
"What?! Why'd you scream, then?!" Itscartooncookie exclaimed.
"Because I felt myself waking up!... I didn't want to wake up." She whined, folding her arms. Itscartooncookie rolled his eyes annoyedly.
POV Switch
Lukas's eyes slowly blinked open and he was met with the warm sunlight to tickle his cheeks. A smile crossed his face as he rolled to his side. Though this warm embrace previously calmed his gaze, his peaceful eyes were suddenly met with a snoring, drooling Aiden.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" He screamed sitting up. Aiden flinched to his feet and made sure the sword in his hand was pointed directly at his newest assailant. His foot, which should've been planted firmly in the ground as he took a fighting stance, dug right into Gill's hand, thus retrieving a pained and surprised cry from him. Maya sat up and, taking after her new friend Ocelott, screamed for the random fun of it!
The screaming died down and the Ocelots glanced at their out-of-breath pals. "Okay... what happened?" Maya asked after a short moment of silence.
"I-I was... and then Aiden... he-"
"I what?!" Aiden sneered at the frenzied Lukas, his green eyes dim with anger.
"N-nothing." Lukas shamefully zipped his jacket shut to the other Ocelots' bitter humor. "So... what now?"
"Ice-cream parlor?"
"Ice-cream parlor!"
(choir of Baptist Church singers: Ice! Cream! Par! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!)
*everything explodes!*
POV Switch
Cliche approach, maybe, but Odium pretty much knew every twist and turn there was to the human mind and, granted, there weren't so many. What was this cliche approach? Read.
It was a simple strategy, nothing to be praised much for. Many had done it before, and Odium was well aware of this, but with the time crunch and the unquenchable hunger for cracking, he decided to use the old trick on Jesse.
Jesse? Isn't he a hero, strong? The exact opposite of cowardly, yellow-bellied and feeble? Hero of Minecraftia, loved by all?
Exactly. Jesse is all of those things. Perfect setup for a fall.
Reuben squealed with delight as Jesse arose from his previous slumber. His hair, ruffled from the rest, was like the warm fur of a long-haired rabbit and he liked it that way.
"Hey, Reuben." He playfully stroked the pig's soft head before starting out of bed on his way to the door. He swung the door open but nearly stumbled over at the sight.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Must be the wrong room," The young lady flashed Jesse her card with an innocent smile, "No wonder the card wouldn't work. Guess the hardware really is just as stupid as the user." She chuckled.
"Nah. I say stupidity is just perserverance in disguise," He told her with a casual tone and a gracious smile. "I'm Jesse." He held out a warm hand which she accepted.
"Janice."
He couldn't help but look over her a few times, noting her curvaceous figure, deep eyes, round lips.
'Stop that, Jesse, you're being rude!' He scolded himself mentally. She laughed a bit.
"Couldn't resist?" She asked him, her voice sounding, erm... less innocent? Jesse flinched a bit when she put an arm around his waist, leaning into him and enjoying his warmth.
'Of all the things that have happened to me, this is by far the CRAZIEST!' He thought to himself. He was beginning to wonder if this kind of thing happened to Gabriel when he felt a small hand stroking his hair.
"Uh, wh-what're..." His voice trailed off into a whimper as she continued to toy around with him and loving every second of it. 'Why does this have to feel so good but be so bad at the same time!?'
"I th-think you should stop." He told her, feeling his own temperature rising. She laughed a bit at his remark. Her soft, warm hand on his cheek turned his head, the sensation tickling Jesse's face.
"What's wrong, Jesse? Too close for comfort?" Her smooth tone echoed in his ears as her face neared his. The closer hers was to his the further he leaned back until he was almost leaning backwards.
"O-ok-kay, could you get off, please?" He asked as he struggled to maintain balance by pushing her off of him some. The sexy twinkle in her eyes only made Jesse know that his apprehensive voice and gentle touch was only arousing her.
"Don't you get out, Jesse? You've done so much good, so isn't it only natural that I should be allowed to do some good for you?" She could feel his strong, nervous heartbeat throbbing in his chest. Jesse eyed her nervously for a few seconds before feeling a bit of his old confidence ringing in his ears.
"I think you should leave." He stated firmly. She laughed at this, straightening herself so that her body wasn't sprawled over his like it previously was. Jesse continued to stare at her defensively, clearly offended by her act. Then she did the unthinkable.
Jesse felt soft warm lips press against his. After the initial shock left, he reacted and tried to push the girl off of him but let out a gasp of surprise as he felt her grasping his most sensitive point. Finally the death kiss ended and his widened eyes caused her to think that she was getting the best of him.
"Still think I should leave?" She asked smartly. He formed his lips to protest, but couldn't manage to speak out of the stunned depths of his heart.
"Jesse?!" His heart stopped beating, to his surprise it was still functioning. He shot his emerald eyes to the left to see Petra glaring horrifiedly at him, tears in her eyes. The unknown girl sent her a look before looking back at Jesse with smug eyes. Petra eyed her furiously when she looked back with a cutting grin.
"Is she your best friend or something?" She asked.
"Shut up! Just shut up!" Petra nearly screamed, alerting a few other roommates. She tried to blink back her tears and had no problem beating herself up when the salty liquid seeped from her eyes.
"Petra, it's not like that! I swear to Notch!" Jesse called after her after she turned to leave. He pushed the girl aside while she looked on with a smug grin and rushed after his girlfriend.
POV Switch
At the ice-cream parlor, the Ocelots enjoyed yet another sundae for breakfast before they caught a glance of Petra rushing angrily away as she wiped tears away from her reddened face.
"Uhh... what's up with her?" Gill asked quietly so that she wouldn't hear his remark. The others shrugged.
"I'd go talk to her, but she seems pretty angry..." Lukas added to his friends' agreement.
"Okay, so... what should we do today?" Gill asked hopefully. Lukas thought for a moment before Ocelott rushed up to them.
"Hi, everyone!" She greeted happily. Lukas frowned a bit. Shouldn't she be upset with her nose broken and shaming the Lyan Nion or... whatever that was called?
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked softly.
"Sure I am! Why wouldn't I be okay?" She replied cheerfully.
"Well... you know, that whole thing with... your nose...?" Aiden added. Ocelott stared at him for a few minutes before staring off elsewhere while the nervous Ocelots awaited her response. Her eyes started to get glossy and she just stood there, lips pursed.
"Uh... Ocelott?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. "Just... gimme a minute." Without another word, she fluidly sunk through the floor.
"Wow, even when she's upset she's all... you know..."
"Maybe we shouldn't have brought it up...?" Maya suggested before Ocelott arose through the boards, her eyes red and clothes stained with tears.
"Yeah, maybe we shouldn't have..."
POV Switch
Weirdo slowly awoke, brushing her lacey hair out of her eyes before she sat up, or attempted to.
"What the..." She marveled at the chains that had her tied to her bed and wasted no time in... crying. She lay there and cried. Everything was going to get ruined and she knew that there wasn't much to be done about the issue in her hands. The barely audible laughter of Odd and whom she guessed to be Admiral Odium caused the tears to flow.
She looked out the window, seeing her hopes drowned in an endless sea.
POV Switch
"Ah, that's gonna turn sour in a few minutes." Odd mused as Admiral Odium chuckled evilly.
"Very sour."
Author's Note:
Sorry for the lack of updates, everyone! Had some stuff happen this week, but here you are!
You (the reader): Really? You think I'm pleased with this crap?!
Me: Um, no. It's a very sad chapter. (gets lost in a pillow)
Anyways, if I haven't already mentioned, things are going to start getting sad because it's time for me to start tying the story up. But don't worry! There will be a happy ending eventually! Now that the word's out, if you have any ideas about how the couples should break up, PM me, but be warned. The ideas tend to get a bit extreme because my keyboard has a mind of its own!
Thanks to FanfictionLover0786 for the Jestra idea, even though it sort of went dark as I was typing it.
If you don't like reading sad breakup stuff, why don't you read some crack instead? New crack coming out soon! Thanks, world! (hides in a candy-bar)
