Johnny fell backwards against the bar stool connected to the ground behind
him, causing the elderly man who sat at top the red fake leather seat to
drop his coffee, spilling all over himself and Nny.
" JESUS CHRIST!" he howled as the scalding liquid rushed over him, grabbing his head and coiling up into a small ball. The man looked down shocked turning to Tenna then back to Nny. The entire diner fell at a stand still as Devi slowly emerged from her hiding place, wearing a semblance of a smile on her lips.
" Now remember this pain Johnny my dear, remember it well. If you ever come near me again that pain will be a thousand times worse." She coolly whispered. The man looked down pathetically at Nny again, shooting a glare at Devi and dropping a few napkins down on him. Johnny looked up at the man, eyes filled with transient rage, soon melting into shock from the kindness.
" A thousand apologies lad, I should have been holding onto my cup tighter." The weathered voice of the man cracked as he smiled lightly.
" No, it's not your fault uh...sir. It was that bitch beneath the table here who fucking KICKED ME FOR JUST SAYING HI." Nny hissed, turning serpent eyes on Devi, who glared at him standing up and kicking him again; this time in the groin as hard as she could. Nny's eyes widened in the sudden rush of uncalled for pain as he yelped, crossing his legs and falling to his side, shuddering. Every man in the diner cringed, feeling his pain.
" Now miss! That was COMPLETELY rude! You owe this poor boy an apology!" The old man shouted breathlessly picking up the cane that rested beside him and pointing it at her. Her eyes widened, mouth gaping and not believing what filth had just come to her ears.
" Excuse me sir?! APOLOGIZE TO HIM!? He fucking tried to KILL ME A FEW MONTHS AGO! What the fuck should I do ANYTHING that resembles an apology after the fucking hell he PUT ME THROUGH?! He DESERVES what he got!" She screeched; voice cracking a few times, Johnny stood up slowly glaring darkly at her. " HE'S THE REASON I WISH I WAS SOMEONE ELSE!" She added, looking him squarely in the eyes. Her hand suddenly cut through the air, though he was faster than she was...hand snapping up and catching her wrist before she could strike him.
" The least you could do is try to pretend that I APOLOGIZED for what I DID." He hissed loudly, leaning in towards her face. She gritted her teeth, giving him a death glare and digging her nails into his hand as hard as she could. He winced lightly, trying not to show his discomfort as they pierced his skin. " You don't think I don't wish I was fucking someone else too?!" He concluded staring at her for a few moments of intense silence. Unnoticed, a few small droplets of his blood dripped onto her fingertips and beneath her nails.
" Be careful what you wish for..." The old man ambiguously injected into the heavy silence. Johnny broke away from her death glare and looked back at him though as soon as he looked away, her free hand sailed through the air, striking his face and snapping his neck the other way.
" ALRIGHT THAT'S IT! THAT IS IT! I'M FUCKING SICK OF THIS GAME! I QUIT! I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND TAKE THIS ABUSE ANYMORE! FUCK!" He shouted, releasing her wrist. His hand softly bleeding, and mixed with her sweat. Before she could respond, he turned tail and stormed out of the diner. Everyone looked at her making her uncomfortable.
" Mind your own FUCKING business...I wouldn't stare at YOU if the same thing happened." She hissed in a warning tone, as everyone turned away; all but the old man, who wore a mysterious smirk, looking down at the oblivious- to-her blood stains on her hand and clouts wedged beneath her nails.
" Oh what a perfect set up we have here..." He whispered, his smile turning more malicious as he turned around whistling a little tune. Tenna stared blankly at Devi with fear in her eyes, shuddering and breathing heavily.
" C- C'mon lets go..." She squeaked dashing out the door. Devi looked at her shrugged and walked non-chalantly out of the door.
"Have a nice day my boy?" Reverend Meats voice squeaked happily as Johnny swung the door open later that evening, carrying a black bag messily packed with bloody blades and knives. He growled lightly, dropping the bag to the floor as the weapons spilled out and flinging himself onto the couch.
" Wouldn't YOU like to know." He hissed looking in the direction of Reverend's voice.
" Went to the dance club I see! But oh you didn't dance? What a pity, you should have! You need to go out and have fun!" Meat's voice rang gleefully.
" You know, why the fuck do you bother asking me how my day was when you already fucking KNOW WHAT I DID?!" Johnny shouted, throwing one of his closest knives to the wall.
" Because what you did and how you feel are two different things. Yes, I know what you did today but I want to know how you FELT about it." Reverend replied.
" Christ! You're more annoying than a High School counselor! " Nny screamed again with a growl. " Fine! Do you want to know how I FELT do you?! I FELT FINE! THERE YOU HAPPY?! I WAS AS HAPPY AS A FUCKING CLAM AS I DISEMBOWLED NEARLY EVERYONE WHO CAME NEAR ME!!!" He panted, gritting his teeth.
" Ahhh wonderful. Feel that rage in you Johnny embrace it. It's what feeds you; what makes you be. That energy, those feelings...all crying to come out of you." Reverend replied once more in a voice so contented by Johnny's reply.
" GAH! FUCK YOU! JUST FUCKING SHUT UP!" Johnny pleaded in a shriek, throwing his hands over his ears, and wincing as the small injury induced by Devi stung slightly as pressure was applied to it.
" What happened there my boy?" Reverend queried calmly. Nny looked at his hand and glared. The abrasion was puffy and dark red...buzzing with strange pangs of pain he had never felt before.
" I was hurt. That's all, now NO FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT IT." He hissed warningly at the doll sitting up and attempting to massage the pain away, which only made it worse.
" Oh how the salt water of the ocean can heal any abrasion or cut...though with the price of an uncomforting sting that lasts for hours and sometimes days. It's uncanny how the salt of the ocean and human sweat are so much alike, in the excruciating pain factor and not the healing however. Tell me my boy, whose sweat runs in that cut? It doesn't feel like your own." Reverend Meat preached.
" I SAID NO FURTHER QUESTIONS!" Johnny roared, throwing another knife at the wall.
" It's that girls isn't it?" Reverend asked snidely ignoring Johnny's discomfort.
" IF YOU FUCKING KNOW WHY DO YOU FUCKING ASK?! GOD DAMNIT YOU ARE SO IRRITATING! GO THE FUCK AWAY!" He bellowed, voice cracking and storming outside, slamming the door behind him. ((A/N: temper, temper...))
" YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOUR FEELINGS!" Reverend shouted after him once more with a snide tone, though Johnny didn't hear him. He sat down on the sidewalk looking up at the moon, beaming down; giving his skin a warm silver hue. He glared and looked away, down at the cuts from her nails on his hand again. Heaving a sigh, he calmed down some and looked back up at the moon again.
" God I wish I was someone else..." He whispered in a meek, pleading voice. As soon as he spoke his wish though, the abrasions on his hand fiercely stung as if on fire and glowed dimly for a few short seconds. He blinked down at it wide eyed...mouth slightly gaping. " What...the hell just-" he started, though before he could finish, the entire world around him began to spin and twist in a sickening manner. A block of ice began to form in the pit of his stomach, making him nauseated. He groaned, trying to get to his wobbly feet as the world only spun faster and fast like an out of control carousel. Then, he shut his eyes as the ground quickly came up to meet him.
" AARRRRGHHH!!!!" Devi screamed, as she trusted her paintbrush through the picture of the man that seemed to haunt her artwork on her canvas. " Who the hell ARE YOU!"
She sighed harshly, grabbing her forehead and storming out onto her balcony immediately being bathed by the moonlight. As she looked up at the glowing orb in the sky she rubbed her hands up and down her arms trying to keep some warmth.
" God I wish I was someone else...anybody." She whispered softly to herself. Then what felt like paint chips beneath her fingernails, pressed against her fingertips on her right hand. She paused and blinked, stretching her hand out towards the moonlight to get a better look. Suddenly, the clouts of Nny's blood, which she hadn't noticed, melted into cold liquid running down her hand. In horror her eyes widened.
" What the Hell is this-" she started, though before she could finish, the entire world began to spin and twist in a sickening manner, much like a horrible carnival ride. Nauseated, her eyes narrowed, body moving as the world moved. Groaning she took a step backwards, and then much like Nny who lied only a mile or so away; fell to the ground of her balcony.
((Author's note: Bum bum BUMMMM!!! What has happened to Johnny and Devi?! What was with that old man in the Diner?! WHY AM I HERE!!!! Sorry about the delay, I was over come with a touch of a writer's block. I have the story idea all straightened out, I just couldn't think of how to write the lead up and such. Anywho, Please continue to R&R your reviews made me smile like a little school girl ( And a special thanks to those of you who read my TERRIBLY depressing poem. ))
