Chapter 5

"And the lever I tell everyone not to touch? Well, it leads to a secret shrine I've constructed, completely dedicated to you."

"Legit?"

"Mmhmm."

Heloise and Jimmy laid on their backs, watching the skies, counting clouds. The two were holding hands, thanks to the events that had happened earlier.

"What else haven't you told me?" asked Jimmy, grinning.

The girl blushed initially, then sighed. "Oh, Jimmy, there's soooo much you have yet to know..." She stared straight into the boy's eyes, and then felt herself moving closer to him when suddenly-

"Guys! GUYS! We have to head back to camp now!" Beezy had suddenly appeared and was shadowing over them, arms flailing in a maddening rhythmic pattern.

Heloise stared at the red demon. She sighed. "He's right, Jimmy. We should go check on the others." she said, a slight sadness possessing her voice as she arose from her place. "Yeah, let's." replied Two-Shoes. Beezy lead the way, since he had something of a ten second headstart. Jimmy stood up and began to walk, Heloise at his side. Jimmy looked at her and winked. Heloise saw this and blushed deeply.

Finally, you're mine, she thought to herself.

...Back at the camp...

Samy screamed and swung his lumbs around, trying to persuade what Lucius, Jez and Saffi that what he saw was in fact real.

"But I saw it! It was right there in the middle of a clearing!" he cried.

"Samy, it was nothing more than a hallucination." replied the seventh Heinous, obviously not amused by his former assistant's claims.

"What, may I ask, just what the hell will it take to convince you!" Samy shrieked in response.

"Not much, I'll tell you that much." muttered Jez, in her usual impaitent and materialistic voice.

Soon after these words were spoken, Jimmy and his friends reappeared in the camp. The boy couldn't help but overhear the conversation. "What's this about?" he asked.

"You! You'll believe me!" yelped Samy, running towards Two-Shoes.

"What happened?"

"I saw it! I saw..." the goblin's annoying voice died out. Then slowly, it returned to it's master.

"The pit."

Jimmy was confused. Samy noticed this in his expression.

"The pit! The one from Beezy's dream! The one with all the fire! And that's not all! I saw two figures there, one short and holding onto the hand of another, who was tall and skinny! They seemed to be yelled about something, then suddenly, there was a scream. It was feminine, and it seemed to be screaming 'NOOOOOOOO!' " Jimmy and Heloise stared at the miniscule green figure.

Everyone suddenly felt uneasy, espicially Heloise. She suddenly broke away from the group, running around the corner, out of the sight of the survivors.

"Heloise, wait!" cried Jimmy, but, unfortunately, it didn't help. What's wrong? he thought to himself. Why won't you let me help you?

...Meanwhile...

"What does it mean!?" shrieked Heloise, pacing back and forth, to and fro violently.

She may have been a genius, but this was quite beyind her. Why were visions appearing to Beezy and now Samy? Why did they involve her and Jimmy? WHY?!

Heloise suddenly fell to her knees, tears consuming her eyes. She suddenly felt horrible. None of this was supposed to happen. Helois knew very well that all she wanted to do was teach Lucius a lesson. Her deepening love for Jimmy had caused her to react to an extreme degree, that, inadvertenly, she had annihilated all of Miseryville. Now, she felt, someone-or something- was out to make her pay for her crimes.

"Oh, god, please, whatever you are, forgive me." she sobbed.

Heloise then felt a chill come slithering down her tiny, frail spine. She knew something was going to happen. The young girl then recollected herself and returned to the camp.

...At the camp...

"Everyone, I have an annoucement." said Heloise upon her return. The survivors were simply eating their supper when she had arrived, and they all looked up from their dishes to receive the message.

"I'm unsure of how to say this," she started. "But... I'm the cuase of the explosion."

Pure silence followed quickly. Suddenly, the lot of them began to yell and complain and scold. Heloise stood there, hurt and scared.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING?" screamed Lucius.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH DESTRUCTION YOU'VE CAUSED?" shrieked Samy.

Jez and Saffi were in on the complaining as well. But Beezy suddenly yelled "SHUT UP!"

They shut up and listened.

"Heloise was just being Heloise. She blows crap up all the time." he stated.

"Yeah! Besides, maybe she was working on an invention that happened to blow up?" Jimmy continued.

Yeah, that's it, thought Heloise.

"Let's worry about this another day. The night is late. Let's just go to sleep." the boy said finally. They all did, mumbling and grumbling all the way to their beds. Beezy suddenly dropped to the ground, fast asleep.

Heloise swung her arms around the boy. "Thank you." she whispered. But when Jimmy looked at her, his expression wasn't a good one.

"Why?" the boy asked quietly.

Heloise took a deep breath. "For you. I saw what Lucius did to you, with the lava geyser and all. I was so filled with rage for how he treated you, so, I decided to get back at him. But, I over did it." she answered.

The young girl suddenly began to cry. Jimmy got down on his knees so that his head was close to level with hers. "Heloise, you destroyed all of this... for me?"

Heloise nodded, tears in her eyes.

The boy smiled. "I'm flattered."

Her tears slowly disappeared. "Really?" she asked.

Jimmy nodded.

Heloise suddenly kissed the boy, throwing her arms around the back of his head. She disconnected for a brief second to say these words:

"Jimmy, I love you, and I never want to lose you. No matter what happens, I will be there to risk my life for you. I will always love you, no matter what the odds are. Because I am for you as you are for me-"

"And we are for us and they are for them." Jimmy finished.

Heloise reconnected her lips with the boy's and they fell asleep together in each others arms.

Happiest moment of my life. Ever. thought Heloise.

...Meanwhile...

It show brighter than anything else in existence. Flames danced a complex dance as their source burned and raged within the ground. The survivors had no idea this was happening. Or that Samy wasn't lying.

The pit was real. And it was coming for Heloise.

I don't think anybody caught it, but I quoted the episode 'Misery Hearts.' Just thought I'd point that out. Please keep reviewing!
