Chappie 20
"No!" I pleaded "He has yet to piss 2D off!"
"He and 2D think on the same level!" Russel retorted fastening a lead to Rover's collar. The dog moped in silence and started gargling as Russel yanked him outside and down the mountain. I followed nervously. I didn't know what he was going to do to him.
"Roll, roll, roll yer joint, and twist down da end, take a puff that's enough, pass it to a friend…" Murdoc sang cheerfully watching my dog being thrown out. He exhaled the cigarette smoke through his nose as he snickered "I don't see why Russ doesn't just hack 'im inte pieces! Not even a zombie could survive dat!"
"Yes it can, the different body parts would still be under the zombie's control." I disagreed.
"Ah," he put his finger up as if knowing more then me "But if one were to chop its head in half, then half again, it would have no chance of surviving." It was as if he was some master on zombie disembodying! He nodded, happy with his statement and popped the cigarette back into his mouth.
I couldn't argue, besides, he has lived next to zombie all the time so he was bound to know about them than me. But, I'm sure I was smarter then him in most categories.
"'ey!" 2D ran outside into the pouring rain "Whatcha doin' wiv' Rover?" he asked Russel who now wielded an axe.
"I'm getting' rid of him!"
"Wha-?" 2D took a step back "Ya can' do 'vat! It's Sam's dog!"
"Man, D. Don't you see he is puttin' the rest of us through hell at the moment?"
2D hesitated "'e's only bin 'ere… A day."
"And that's why we have to get rid of him, imagine what'll happen in a week."
Noodle skipped out, happy that the dog would be… Disposed of "Russel-san? How you plan on getting rid of the dog?" She asked peering nervously at the axe behind him.
"Uh… Well I was going to-" he stopped as I tried sneaking up on him and snatching the axe. I managed to get a grip on it "Hey!" he wheeled around, almost knocking 2D over.
"Oi! Watch it!" 2D growled as he dodged Russel.
"Leggo!" Russel shouted trying to pry me off the axe. I didn't say anything. I didn't want them to disembody my dog! Eventually, after minutes of struggling, Russel pulled me off and dropped me onto the floor.
Before I could reach for the axe again, Murdoc grabbed my arms and pulled me back "Oh, nah ya don't! Yer dog is gonna get what it deserves." I squirmed as much as possible but to no avail.
Russel raised the axe high. Noodle gasped "No Russel-san!". 2D dropped to the floor cowering and covering his head.
"Do it! Do it do it!" Murdoc encouraged holding my arms tight.
"Don't!" Rover threw his paws over his eyes and shook viciously. Making slight whimpering noises.
2D, Noodle, and me looked away when we heard the sickening series of thwacks. Murdoc kept watching. Since he was holding my arms and I turned around it was sort of like a hug. 2D parted his fingers over his eyes and peeped through. I heard him let out a sigh and Murdoc groaned loudly. Noodle let out a happy cry.
"Yay! Russel-san I knew you wouldn't chop Rover up." She ran over to him and gave him a hug.
"Huh?" Russel said scratching his head with the handle of the axe "Chop him up?" he looked at 2D who had been cowering on the floor then to me who was in Murdoc's arms. I nor Murdoc had realized we were hugging yet.
"Russ!" Murdoc snarled "You were meant ta kill it!" he paused "Again!" this time, instead of pausing he froze then growled very quietly in my ear "Geroff a me!" Seeing Rover alive I decided to mock Murdoc. I clung to him harder.
"You have beautiful eyes…" I muttered jokingly. He replied with a flattered and angry grunt and pushed me away. I laughed; he was so funny to wind up.
Turning serious now, I walked up to Russel "So, what did you do with that axe?"
He thought about the question for a second and stepped aside. He had chopped down an old, tall tree that had now blocked off the path that the zombies would follow to reach Kong Studios. There was no way one could get past it "It's to keep the rest of 'em buggers out. Including your dog."
Rover looked as if he had had a heart attack but breathed out and swept his ears and fur back on his head with his tongue proudly "I knew he wouldn't kill… No, killkill me."
"Ha! You had your tail between yer legs yer coward!" Murdoc snapped at him.
"Well, least Russ ain't axed 'im." 2D smiled.
"Hai." Noodle agreed.
I was happy he wasn't deaddead. But now, I would never see him again.
"Alright, time te go." Russel said looking from me to Rover. He backed away cautiously as Russel reached for him. In one hand, Russel picked him up. He must have been quite strong "Don't worry, Sam." Russel reassured "You can always come down and see him."
I smiled. Russel was so caring. He lowered Rover to the ground and I came over and kissed the dog on his nose and hugged him tight.
"See ya kiddo." He grinned, his eyes blinking separately in a weird but adorable way.
"Bye Rover-san!" Noodle waved busy on the muddy floor trying to find the pokemon figure that had dropped out of her pocket.
"G'bye liddle doggy." 2D ruffled his ears "Muds!" he called to Murdoc who was smoking another cigarette "Come say bye!"
Murdoc came over surprisingly. He bent down and looked like he was going to be nice. Suddenly he lashed out and made a grab for the dog's neck. Rover ducked to the side skillfully and whipped him across his face with his tail and walked back onto Russel's hand.
Murdoc growled and leaned against the fallen tree's trunk.
"Bye Rover, love you!" I smiled at him waving goodbye. He waved a paw then I saw him nod towards 2D and wink. I blushed but it wasn't visible in the rain. Russel pushed him up as high as he could and waited for Rover to scrabble up the rest of the way. He managed to reach the top, grinned at us then jumped down the other side.
Later that night, everyone sat in the lounge watching some zombie clips with popcorn. 2D was sprawled out on the floor with what looked like a small pool of drool in front of him. Russel sat in the middle of the couch with noodle to his right and Murdoc to his left. I sat next to Murdoc. He was bored too. I wasn't, and neither was Noodle. I wasn't sure about Russel, his white eyes were always expressionless.
The mess the zombie bunnies had created had been cleared up by the random demons that appeared around Kong. It was kind of cool having someone to clean up loads of stuff for you and not even complain!
"Aw, man, I can't believe you guys thought I was gonna chop Rover up!" Russel said breaking the TV's hold on us.
"Well, when you hold a axe up high on your head it would seem that way." Noodle said mouthful of popcorn.
"Yeah, I was sorta freaked out!" I admitted.
"Whatever…" Murdoc grumbled, angry that Russel hadn't slice Rover's head in two "You know, Russ, that'd been a great show a character."
"I aint the killin' kind."
We watched more TV. Murdoc was getting agitated and kicked 2D's leg "Oi! Tuss-fuck, move! Yer in the bloody way!"
2D didn't move, instead his hand slipped from supporting his head and his face fell into the pool of drool making a slight splash. I had to laugh.
I missed Rover already but, hey, a zombie is a zombie! And besides, he did stink! Also, drinking outta the toilet? Not nice!
Yay! party sounds 20th chapter! WoOt! yAhOo! And guess what…. More's on the way! I've been off school for like a week and a little maybe? And return on the 22nd so im happy!
