Hi everyone long time no see. This is the fourth chapter of This isn't me. Anyway, I don't own any characters in this story (but someday I will find a legal document that will let me own them). It's kind of short but I hope you like it!
Chapter 4 Forgiveness" Goombella what were you thinking!"Vivian cried. After the incident with Goombario Vivian took Goombella to Twilight Trail to try to talk some sense into her. Goombella was silent for a minute, but then she looked at Vivian through the corner of her eye and smirked.
" I didn't do any thing wrong!" Goombella huffed. Vivian frowned and sighed.
" Goombella what happened to you? Just the other day you were furious at Goombario now you're trying to rape him!" Vivian yelled.
" You were the one who said go out with him." Goombella grumbled. " I just added a twist." Vivian balled up her fist and turned away from Goombella.
" You've totally changed." Vivian said quietly. Her hat slightly tilted as tears ran down her face. Goombella looked at Vivian and frowned sadly.
" Vivian why are you getting so dramatic." Goombella asked." It's not that big of a deal, why do you care?"
" Because…" Vivian said quietly." You're my friend and I am trying to prevent something bad from happening." Vivian started crying harder. She turned toward Goombella with tears in her eyes.
" But, if you are going to act this way then be my guest!" Vivian yelled. Vivian silently slipped into the shadows leaving Goombella alone on the trail. Goombella stood their sadly looking at the spot where Vivian was standing
" Maybe I should stop doing this." She thought." This isn't the way I am at all. She decided to tell Goombario she was sorry. As she walked down the trail she looked into the sky and noticed the moon. It glowed elegantly in the twilit sky.
" I never noticed how beautiful this place is." Goombella thoughtnto herself. " Maybe after I apologize to Goombario I'll take him here."
When Goombella reached Rougueport she decided to go to the inn and rest. She entered the inn and to her surprise she saw Ms. Mowz at the bar eating a mouse cake.
" Long time no see Ms. Mowz." Goombella greeted as she sat beside Ms. Mowz at the bar.
"Well hello there Goombella what brings you here?" Ms. Mowz asked slyly. Goombella asked Podley to give her a fruit parfait.
" I'm taking a ship to Toad Town." Goombella replied as she paid Podley. He gave her the fruit parfait and she took a bite.
" Oh really, Why are you going there?" Ms. Mowz questioned. Goombella stopped eating and looked at Ms. Mowz sadly.
" I have to apologize to someone…" Goombella uttered. Ms. Mowz's eyes glistened curiously.
" Would this person be a certain Goomba?" Ms. Mowz asked .
" Yes, he is a Goomba." Said Goombella not surprised at the fact that she knows about the incident..
" I know what you are going through and al I have to say is that you are doing the right thing." Ms. Mowz replied. " Keep asking him if he would forgive you, never stop. Goombella did not like Ms. Mowz all that much but she always takes her advice, so she slowly nodded.
" Well I must go but I'm sure that I will see you soon." Ms. Mowz said as she left the inn. Goombella told her goodbye and finished her fruit parfait. She opened the door and saw Kooper walking in front of her.
" Kooper what are you doing here?" Goombella asked. Kooper heard Goombella's voice and stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned to Goombella and stared at her nervously.
"You better stay away from me!" Kooper yelled backing away. Goombella looked at Kooper and noticed the welp she left on his nose she smiled deviously.
" What's wrong Kooper?" Goombella asked. " Are you afraid of me?"
" N-No o-of course n-not." Kooper stammered. " Why w-would I be afraid of y-you?" Goombella moved closer to Kooper. Kooper started to sweat.
" Oh I just thought when I hit you with my whip you would be afraid of me." Goombella replied slowly pulling out her whip.
" W-what are you going to do with that?" Kooper asked.
" Do you really want to know?" Goombella asked mischievously. Kooper inched away from Goombella.
" Y-yes." Kooper squeaked. Goombella lifted the whip up, Kooper put his hands in front of his face waiting for Goombella to smack him with the whip. Instead of feeling pain Kooper heard a small thud. He lifted his hands from his face and saw that the whip was on the ground. He looked at Goombella confused at her actions.
" You won't have to worry about me hurting you Kooper." Goombella said smiling." I'm going to Goomba Village to apologize to Goombario."
"…Really?" Kooper asked. " Then why did you scare me like that?"
" I just like scaring the shell off of you." Goombella snickered.
" Sorry… about the other day." Goombella apologized. " I was kind of out there."
" Oh that's okay the welp isn't that big." Kooper said smiling.
" Good… oh yeah, what are you doing here anyway?" Goombella asked.
" I came here to see if I could find you so I could talk to you about the other day." Kooper said. " But there is no need for that anymore. Goombella told Kooper goodbye and headed for the port.
When she reached the port she asked Cortez to take her to Toad Town. She boarded the ship and told Cortez thank you. She went into the room where the treasure was and sat in Cortez's chair. She became drowsy and drifted off to sleep. When she reached Toad Town she immediately headed toward Goomba Village.. As she was walking down the trail she heard a rustle behind her. She turned around quickly but saw no one.
" What was that?" Goombella whispered nervously. Goombella started walking again but heard another rustle.
" Okay who ever is out there come out now." Goombella yelled. Goombella heard the rustle again but it was closer. She turned around and threw her tattle log at the bush.
" Ouch!" a familiar voice cried. Goombella stared at the bush and Goombario stumbled out of the bushes.
" Goombario!" Goombella shouted picking up her tattle log. " What are you doing here?" Goombario heard Goombella and flinched in fear.
" You stay away from me!" Goombario yelled jumping up. " I should be asking you that question."
" Were you following me?" Goombella said snickering." She walked up to Goombario and smiled kindly. Goombario moved an inch away form her and frowned uncomfortably.
" No, of course not!" Goombario shouted blushing.
" What's wrong Goombario?" Goombella asked.
" What do you mean what's wrong?" Goombario asked surprised. " You tried to seduce me!"
" That's why I came here." Said Goombella said sadly." To apologize."
" How can I believe you?" Goombario questioned.
" You don't have to believe me just say you forgive me." Goombella pleaded.
Goombario backed further away from Goombella and frowned. He wanted to believe Goombella but he just couldn't do it.
" I-It's not that easy Goombella." Goombario said sadly.
" Goombario…." Goombella said close to tears. "…Please." Goombella started walking toward Goombario again.
" I'm…sorry." Goombario said. Goombella stopped and stared at Goombario, tears streamed down her face. Goombario heard Goombella's sobs and cringed.
" Goombella…. don't cry.. please.." Goombario hesitantly replied. Goombella heard Goombario's reply and cried harder. Goombario winced at the continuation of Goombella's sobs. He was at the verge of crying himself. He turned to Goombella and ran toward her. He moved closer to Goombella and nudged the side of her headed ever so gently. Feeling Goombario do this made Goombella nearly fall over in astonishment but she quickly caught herself. She stopped crying and stared at Goombario. Goombario backed away a little and smiled.
" Do you feel better?" Goombario said softly." Don't cry anymore, okay?"
" O-Okay…" Goombella whispered blushing. Goombario rubbed his head against Goombella's and Goombella did the same to Goombario. They sat their on the path cuddling each other under the beautiful moonlight, not knowing a evil force hidden in the darkness was watching them with a sinister plan.
Goombella walked with Goombario to his village. When they reached Goomba Village they said their farewells.
" So does this mean you forgive me?" Goombella asked curiously. Goombario stared at Goombella looking uncertain at first. But then a small grin formed on his face.
" Yes, Goombella…" Goombario whispered. " I forgive you."
" I'm glad." Goombella replied. After Goombario went into his house Goombella started back on the trail. She suddenly stopped. Se felt something big coming toward her.
" Who's there?" she asked.
There was total silence, all you could hear was the wind blowing rustling the leaves . Hearing the wind soothed Goombella then she shrugged off the feeling and continued down Goomba Trail. She then felt a sharp pain strike her back. She winced in pain. She fell to the ground moaning and gasping for air. She coughed up a few drops of blood. She tried to call for help but no sound came. She struggled to get up but she was pinned to the ground.
" There is no reason to struggle." Said an eerie, evil voice. " You are mine and there is no escape. Goombella's eyes shot open. She recognized that voice. She wasn't totally conscious and couldn't make it out, but she knew she had heard it before. She started to feel a strong pressure squeezing her stomach, blood ran down her lip.
"Wha-what d-do you want w-ith me?" Goombella managed to say.
" I have been watching you from afar and there is a great darkness in your heart that you don't know of." Said the voice. " You will make a magnificent vessel."
That horrible voice echoed through Goombella's mind. She could feel the life slowly being sucked out of her body. She felt the creature enter her body, tediously taking over her. The pain in her back grew enormously. She stifled to gain control but it was a difficult task for the beast was powerful. Goombella saw two large dark purple hands cover her face he eyes widened in fright. Everything slowly became black and the last thing that Goombella heard was the creature's maniacal laughter before she loss consciousness .
