Hey, it's been awhile, huh? Well, I'm updating! I'm bored, and I write when I'm bored… For all you teen titans fans, I'm thinking about writing one, AFTER I'm done with either Locked Or Tourniquet. Since I'm dying to write it, it's probably gonna come after Tourniquet. Review responses!
Shadow Bijou: Same here… Save your tears for the ending of this story, I've got it aaaaall planned up in my noggin.
Wolfenheim: I am going to steal that review! It's cool!
Twinkie: Yes, I know… such a shame. I don't update too much at all, do I?
On with the story!
CHAPTER NINE
WANTED TOURNIQUET
Cappy ran full-speed toward Hamtaro, who jumped out of the way. All at once, the once blue sky turned gray. Another tornado was unlikely, however. Hamtaro ran away fast, while Stan tended to his leg, he and Penelope in safety. As soon as he was sure it was close to good-as-new, he stood up. Cappy was shrieking words that were pitched to high to understand. He was screaming madly at Hamtaro. The stick was sharper, much sharper than it had before. Hamtaro grabbed another stick, thick and jagged, and they fought. Cappy managed to trip the boy, unfortunately for Hamtaro, and trapped him beneath his foot before Hamtaro could scramble back to his feet.
"Any last words…" Cappy growled in a low voice, stating it more than asking it. Hamtaro just stared at him in fear and shock. His mouth opened, then closed. Cappy took this as his time to kill his former friend. The red-eyed vengeful hamster plunged the stick right through Hamtaro's heart, and out the other side. Hamtaro let out a horrible choking-like sound, and then fell limp. Then Cappy pulled it (being the stick) back out, then jabbed at Hamtaro, causing blood and gore and insides to splurt out everywhere. Mid-plunge, after about fifteen stabs, Cappy stopped. He gasped, and looked at his paws, like they do in movies when a person had just killed their very first person. Stan had witnessed the whole thing… but Hamtaro had BEEN the whole thing, so I guess that's not all that big.
"Penelope, you have to stay here. Be quiet, and don't attract attention to yourself. Okay?" Penelope nodded, fear-struck. Stan squeezed her paw reassuringly. He smiled sadly, and then went into battle. Stan leaped into the air, tackling Cappy to the ground. Stan's fists were a blur, yet Cappy did not seem to wear down. Hand-to hand combat was something Penelope had ever seen before. Stan seemed to be winning, however. The fighting duo was headed towards the river. Stan ran with great agility onto a steppingstone. Cappy followed, which was part of Stan's master plan. Cappy slipped, but clutched onto the rock.
"Stan! Omigosh… I can't believe, I can't… I can't… I'm sorry! So sorry! Help me, please! Don't let me die!" Cappy cried. This was near-death we were talking about (hello? If Cappy falls in, he'll die in the RAGING CURRENT), and Cappy was afraid. Stan could kick him off, or help him. He couldn't guarantee anything.
Stan chose to help, being the kind soul he was. He lowered his paw so that Cappy could reach it. Cappy grasped it, repeating his thank-yous over and over. Once they were both safely perched on the stone, Cappy did the most obvious (or unobvious… personally, I think it depends on the type of person you are. Stupid, or smart.) thing. He leaned over, and then with all of his might he pushed Stan into the river. Seconds later, Stan's head appeared, only further along the river. His expression was a mixture of shock and betrayal.
I know fear when I'm faced with it
I know when I am about to die
I know who's the traitor; in whose face to spit
I know the one who to us, lies
Cappy leapt off the stone onto the riverbank and followed Stan and the river side, hoping to witness his last breath.
I know when to glare
Oh, do I know who to yell to
I know how I work my death-stare
I know the difference between kind and cruel
Stan tried to swim to edge. To his luck, he hit a less rough-current spot, and actually made it. So much for luck, however, because Cappy was right there, just waiting for his appearance. Pounding on Stan's paws that were hopelessly clutching the muddy riverbank, Cappy managed to force Stan under river, pushing his head under, and keeping it there.
Why do I even bother anymore
I should just give up; let you win the war
But the thought of you having the last laugh
Takes me back onto the logical track
Yet Stan was still going to put up a fight. He was no way about to let his late friends down. He bit Cappy's paw, which made Cappy retract it immediately, bring Stan up with it (Remember, Cappy has the freakish supernatural powers. Red-eyes? Not normal…). Stan made a mad jump for the riverbank. The tiger-striped hamster just barely made it, toppling over onto the soft grass.
I know what I should do, what I want to do
I know whom to pull down in the water
And I know why you're the enemy, too
I am the one that you wish to slaughter
Cappy charged at Stan, yelling like a madman.
"You are to die, you defy me!" he shrieked.
"No, you should! You murdered a FELLOW HAM-HAM, DUDE! You were a MESSENGER for the STINKING SILVER GRAY WOLF THAT KILLED OFF EVERYONE ELSE!" Stan screeched back, although in a somewhat calmer tone of voice.
Why do I even bother anymore
I should just give up; let you win the war
But the thought of you having the last laugh
Takes me back onto the logical track
Cappy aimed to punch Stan, but he missed. Stan was soon on the other side of him, ready. But Cappy had caught on quick. He whirled around within a millisecond, and literally threw Stan back in the water with a splash before the tiger-striped boy could do any damage.
I hate to be the one to tell you
But you're not gonna overcome me
If I die today, I'll die winning, it's true
'Cause not yet I won't fall, I won't flee
Smiling smugly, his red eyes glowing, he looked into the water and laughed. Just as he was about to turn around, however, a pair of paws grabbed up and snagged Cappy's backside, making the late wolf's apprentice topple over and into the river.
Why do I even bother anymore
I should just give up; let you win the war
But the thought of you having the last laugh
Takes me back onto the logical track
Stan shoved and pushed and scratched at Cappy. The water was taking them both closer to their deaths but Stan knew he'd make it out alive. Or not. It didn't matter really. But Penelope…
Cappy bit into Stan's awfully wet fur. Stan winced in pain. Kicking his opponent forward, Cappy yelped.
I know the difference between kind and cruel…
The rain wasn't helping in the slightest. It seemed to switch to light and then to hard. Back and forth, as if the clouds couldn't make up their mind. The changes were hard to get used to, and all the water blurred Stan's sight. Cappy used the extra time to grab Stan's ankles and THWACK him (mostly his head) into an upcoming steppingstone. The force of the blow knocked the wind out of Stan, and broke his neck. Stan screamed silently. The pain was too much than the poor hamster could bear. He couldn't keep up with the current, and so he sank to the floor of the river like a rock. Panicking, Stan kicked, but he couldn't handle the pain. His leg wasn't fully healed, either, adding on to the list. His lungs were screaming for air, but he couldn't get it. Trying to withstand the pain, he tried to swim upwards. Unfortunately the current was too strong, far too strong for Stan. He gave in, and opened his mouth, only to fill his lungs with water. His sight wasn't clear… he was dying…
And with that, all was black.
I know the difference between kind and cruel…
