a/n: This chapter may be a bit confusing to read. We start off in Otto's
dream... I hope you can follow it.
Also I have, like 2 more chapters that I wrote and just need to type. Vacation had lots of free time. I also wrote three new stories, one's already posted. If you want to check it out its Hard Lessons.
Ch 9 The Dream
"Otto," I hear a voice call for me, but it can't be my tentacles.
"Otto, hun, it's 9:00, wake up," it sounds like... Rose!
I shoot my eyes open and see her, lying next to me, beautiful as always.
It was all a dream and I sigh in relief.
She kisses me 'Good morning' just like before. She brushes some hair out of my face and sees my worried face.
"What's wrong," she coos, running her fingers through my hair.
I look at her, but feel my back. They aren't there. "Nothing," I smile.
She gets out of bed and heads into the bathroom. I hear the shower turn on and her sweet voice singing through the room.
I head downstairs and sigh again. All of it was just a terrible nightmare, not real!
I fix breakfast, still smiling, and wait for Rose.
There's a loud 'thunk' in the living room. Probably nothing though.
I turn my head; it was there a second time, closer than before.
I see something appear. Only a shadow of something. There are four of them. Long and snake-like, they appear almost to slither as they move, with claws at the end. My inventions!
They snake around and spot me. They walk like animals over to me, a single one seeing for all four, its crimson eye staring straight at me.
They stop in front of me and rear up to attack.
"HELP!" I yell, but no one hears me, no one is listening, as always.
It swipes at me, shooting straight through my stomach...
... I wake with a start, screaming.
"Otto?" Sarah is the first to respond.
I stare in horror, she's the one who I just saw rip through me, she's the one that hurt me. She's staring just like then.
"Otto?" she tries again.
"Just get away from me," I answer, then yell, "Just stay away from me!"
I run and run, knowing I'll never escape, but trying anyways, like an animal caged. I can't be near them, not now, I must get away from these monsters.
"Otto, we saw your dream," Sarah tries.
Her words stop me in my tracks. They know everything about me, nothing is safe from them now.
"wha- what?" I'm not sure; I can't take it all in.
"It's not true, what you saw, it was a dream, Otto, only a dream, you have to believe me," Sarah wants my trust.
"Why?"
"Why what?" she tilts her 'head'.
"Why should I trust you?" I growl out, even more animal like.
"Otto..." she's sad now.
She makes an approach to comfort me, but I push her away. She nods and turns away, out of my sight.
I sit; I would say alone if I didn't know better, then Kris slinks around.
"Please don't be mad at Sarah, Otto," they even act human by using names.
"Why not?" I yell, sounding vicious, "Why shouldn't I? You all pry too much!"
"Otto," Kris sounds defeated, but still fighting.
"Hn."
Kris moves over to Sarah now, wrapping around her, comforting her.
I sigh and lean back on the chair that I stopped by, plopping down in the process.
Bethany uses her length to stretch around the chair and turn on the TV.
I hear the news:
"Last night at a normal drug store all hell broke loose.
A robbery took place at Quik-e-Mart. The culprit stole $289 worth of food, enough to last a month for any New Yorker.
This is what the security cameras caught before being destroyed.
(the footage plays)
If you have any information please contact the police.
If you know the robber he is a murderer and should not be approached."
The news moves to a shot of Spiderman showing at the scene. This sets off the tentacles, they start to click and whir angrily, avoiding my hearing though.
I hang my head. Is that all I am now? 'Murderer.' The word burns in my head. I'm a killer. Stupid, pointless, destroyer...
Sarah looks over and comes to me.
"No."
"No?"
"You're not stupid or pointless, and you didn't murder, we did, we made you do it, remember?"
"Stop!" I command.
"What?" her turn to be confused.
"Stop lying to me!"
"Oh, Otto," she wraps around me and so do the others.
I sit there, motionless, not wanting this but unable to stop it.
I feel pain they will never know, but I don't show any of it. I feel so many terrible things, but I don't care.
I can't give up.
"Otto you're bleeding!" Liz exclaims.
I look down and see that one of my cuts reopened.
"Hn, look at that," I blow it off.
I watch myself bleed, not caring, but they do.
They put pressure on it and then set me on the couch nearby. They keep one eye on the TV set though, watching our destruction.
If they could smile they would right now, seeing themselves on TV.
"Hungry?" Bethany asks. I nod 'yes'.
They zoom off to the kitchen, except for Sarah, who keeps pressure on the wound and watches the TV.
"I'm sorry," I murmur.
"Otto..." she responds.
"No..." Kris adds.
"We are."
We should be."
I don't agree or disagree, I just stare at my mess on TV.
a/n what did you think? I had fun writing it! Please review!
a/n you know what? I found the perfect song to represent Otto's love for Rose: Forever and For always by Shania Twain.
Also I have, like 2 more chapters that I wrote and just need to type. Vacation had lots of free time. I also wrote three new stories, one's already posted. If you want to check it out its Hard Lessons.
