Chapter Fifteen – Taking Sides
Disclaimer – Ditto on Last
Glacier stepped back. Carmen had seen that he had seen the bracelet. Glacier paused, but that was enough time for her to charge at him. Carmen made contact, creating a gash right above Glacier's right eye. Glacier yelped and sprang back. It didn't hurt; it just caught him by surprise.
Glacier heard an approaching vehicle and so did Carmen. She paused to see who it was and Glacier took that moment to make a swipe at her.
Carmen was fast, but not fast enough. Glacier's outstretched claws hooked onto her bracelet and with her combined action of leaping back and Glacier pulling his paw back; it came off, exposing her for what she really was. A seventeen year old girl.
The car was Duke's. He came just in time. He jumped from his car and ran to help his mom. Thorn was still wrestling with the black wolf and Glacier ran over to help.
"Thorn?" Duke asked. He ran over to investigate.
Glacier pulled to black wolf off of Thorn and was chasing him away when Duke greeted Thorn. Thorn licked his hand and went over to Glacier.
"Where's Kriss?" Duke asked Thorn.
Carmen pointed to Glacier.
"Well, I'm glad someone knows…" Glacier said sarcastically.
"Kriss?" Duke asked in disbelief.
"The one and only," Said Glacier, changing back.
"Holy shit!" Duke exclaimed.
Thorn growled and glared at Carmen, he remembered the scent from when Kriss got back her guitar.
"What's his problem?" Carmen asked.
"The thing that's everyone's problem…" Kriss retorted.
"What?" Duke and Carmen asked in unison.
"Sometimes I can't believe how dumb you are, Duke… Carmen, yeah I can understand…" Kriss exasperated.
"What?" Duke asked again.
"She's the problem; you of all people should know that!" Kriss shouted at her brother.
"Oh…" Duke said.
"Well, this has been fun and all, but I have stuff to do if you don't mind!" Carmen said, turning and running.
"Yes! I do mind in fact!" Kriss yelled after her.
Duke sighed.
"You know that she's not that bad after all…" Duke told her.
"I can't believe you're taking her side! She's the enemy! She's…she's… a bitch!" Kriss concluded.
"She's your mom, and mine too!" Duke argued.
"Well yeah…. But….but…" Kriss sighed, "She's the devil in disguise! I know she is! Because she made my life a living Hell!" Kriss stated.
"I still don't understand why she did that either…" Duke mused.
"Like I do…" Kriss spat.
Thorn whined and looked at Kriss.
"What?" Kriss asked.
A drop of blood trickled from the wound above her eye.
"Oh, that…" Kriss said, looking up.
"Not more! God, I swear, you're going to die of blood lost…" Duke sighed, "C'mon…"
"No, it's alright, I'll just go back to my place, oh that feels weird. Saying something about going to my place when I'm at the dumpster… oh well," Kriss shrugged.
"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting, you know you're dad now. I think that you owe me a favor now!" Duke laughed.
"Oh yeah… favor…. You want to live with him?" Kriss asked.
"No, no, I'm fine where I am."
"I thought so… well… I've got to go…" Kriss turned and starting walking in the direction she came from. Duke shrugged and got back in his car and drove away.
"Well, I'm not bored anymore!" Kriss joked.
Thorn was still quiet.
"What's up bud?" Kriss asked.
Thorn shrugged.
So did Kriss.
They kept walking. By the time they reached the house it was getting dark.
"Where were you?" Came the greeting when they went through the door.
"Away from you…" Kriss responded.
"What happened?" Ishizu asked, noting the blood and scratches.
"Nothing," Kriss told her.
"Looks like dangerous nothing," Odion mused.
"Like you?" Kriss asked.
"Hey!"
Ishizu shook her head.
"Wait, what seriously did happen?" Marik asked.
"Something to where you wouldn't care," Kriss responded.
"Will you tell us something other than your sarcastic remarks?" Marik asked her.
"No," Kriss said, then she starting walking and went up the stairs.
"Come back here now!" Marik ordered.
Kriss thought better of it and reluctantly went back down the stairs.
"Okay, okay, I got into a fight, happy?" Kriss asked.
"We knew that much, with who was is with?" Marik interrogated.
"Carmen," Kriss told him.
"Carmen? How could she do that much damage?" Ishizu asked.
"You got into a fight with your mom that resulted in this?" Marik asked.
"Who's Carmen?" Was Odion's nice question.
"Yes to you two," Kriss pointed to Marik and Ishizu, "A bitch." She said, pointing to Odion.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Marik yelled.
"What!" Kriss asked.
"Leave her alone!" He shouted.
"No!" Kriss yelled back.
Ishizu meanwhile was explaining the full situation to Odion, Kriss and Marik were still fighting.
Thus this is the confusion that some people, mainly Kriss and co, have to live with.
Finally Kriss remembered something.
"I still need to take care of these cuts ya know…" She told Marik.
"Knock yourself out… literally…" Marik said.
"Okay…" Kriss said, continuing on her journey upward.
Then Ishizu elbowed Marik hard and gestured towards Kriss, muttering something. Marik sighed and said,
"I could help you know…"
Kriss stopped at the top of the stairs.
"You want to help?" She asked in disbelief.
"No, Ishizu wants me to." Marik explained, Ishizu elbowed him, harder that time, "Ow!" Marik exclaimed, rubbing his side where she hit him.
"Whatever floats your boat, I don't care…" Kriss said, continuing upstairs for the thousandth time.
"Okay…" Marik said.
Ishizu pushed him up the stairs after Kriss.
How huh? XDD I thought so!
