Mal held his broken nose and D's eyes turned serious, same as mal's, without turning away from D, he put his hand to bue's head. "She's shaking, idiot. Horror probably wasn't the best idea." D crossed his arms and pouted but then a grin came along and mal got the look of horrified confusion, it's a face that's starting to become a trend in the darkness. "Hey, bue, how 'bout a romance?" He nudged her shoulder and she stopped shaking. "Did 'ya jus' say...romance?" D looked ecstatic, thinking bue was as well to hear the idea but then she began shaking again, though it was more like an earthquake, similar to the foreshadowing of a volcano eruption. He didn't notice mal's fearful expression as he got off the rumbling bed. Bue shot up from the blankets, her face annoyed and angry as hell as, within a split second, D's nose was being pinched by her fingers and her grip got tighter fast. Mal looked terrified then took shelter behind a beanbag. She used his nose to throw him hard against the wall across, D was shocked until a thought came to him. "Bueno." "NOPE! STILL ME, 'YA JERKIN' LI'L, BOTH O' 'YA! A DOLL HORROR MOVIE?! ARE 'YA TWO IDIOTS KIDDIN' MA'?!" D rubbed his nose and mal put his hands behind his back and silently chuckled, "don't thin' yer free to go! YOU'RE the one who put on the movie!" Bue lifted up the covers and snapped her fingers, nothing happened, she snapped them again and still nothing happened. She shot her head up to look D straight in the eye. "What the heck went on out there, it's been a week, shouldn't my powers be back by now?" D and mal looked down sheepishly, bue turned to look at mal then D and did this around 3 times before finally lying back down under the covers, her head still peeking out. "Whateva', I'm no' gonna bother if 'ya don't budge, I'm still too tired to deal with 'ya both." They walked over to her and found she was out-cold already. D pet her head, mal blew up his hair flap with crossed arms.
So what now? What're 'ya gonna say when she wakes up?
I dunno, I'll think of something, she only remembers the first 10 seconds after bueno left her to die, if I could just- D imitated holding a throat and strangling it.
How? He's a part of bue, what can we do? Mal asked him, it was a good point as he stood across from D on the other side of the bed and emotionless, a serious glare was on his face. D gave the look back to him but it looked looser, not much anger was being aimed at him as it seemed D might have been developing some means of respect for mal.
Then I suppose all we can really do is help her instead of fighting her. Once I'm certain she's fine and has her strength back then I'll see what I can do.
You sound like some healer. or a medicine man.
I'm the most powerful being of the 3 of us! When I say 'I'll see what I can do' it means I'm the one who can actually give her what she needs.
She's not some dog that you can train to be your perfect loyal pet, you realize that?
D glared with new found burning hate toward him. If you weren't a traitor, not only would you not have been given that broken nose-. Mal's hands immediately shot up to his face to cover up his wound, remembering how badly his pride had been crushed, looked away with shame.
-But...none of this would have happened if it...weren't...for...YOU! D ran around the bed and shoved mal to the ground then got down and clutched his neck as he struggled wildly, his legs flailing and his hands gripping D's but they were like sticks in comparison to his strength. "Your t-te-temp-temper i-is y-yo-your w-weak po-point!" Mal's eyes were tightly shut and he tried his best to open them, when he did, it was D's glowing crimson eyes that were visible. "Wha-what th-the he-hell are y-you a-anyway?!"
"The real question is what are YOU?" D asked him, his dark aura returning.
"H-huh?" Mal's face was now bright red as his nose bled.
"I-I'm a...personality." "No." D's grip got tighter and mal tried his best to swallow the building up saliva coming right up from his throat, he shut his eyes again and even though he wasn't sad, but mostly angry, tears welled up and began to pour against his will.
"You're a trait, MY trait! I'M THE DARKNESS AND SO THIS IS MY MIND!" Just then, bue shot up from the bed and looked around only to find D suffocating mal. His dark aura and glowing crimson eyes were back, she was about to hop off the bed and yank D off of him but he saw her wake up and just when she was at the edge of the bed, he flew up his hand and a large yellow barrier came over her along with the bed. Because of this, mal was now one hand loose and with his short gasp of air, managed to hit a random pressure point along the arm that had him pinned and it gave way causing D to topple down. Mal quickly got up and ran toward one of the bean bags, picked one up and threw it at him before he even had time to notice nor dodge. After it hit D and fell to the ground he turned to bue, who was at first looking at mal with worry, looked over to her left and saw D looking at her, she started getting scared and backed away until she fell on the bed. "Bue, you know how I told you to shut up and do as I say?" Bue tried to pretend she didn't remember by shrugging then mal got worried for what he was planning. "You know. I heard your thoughts and how afraid you both are of me. Try and hide it all you like and mal...what might that be behind you?" The two glared at D and the puppet in his bear form was standing by mal. "You're not helping" mal told the 'puppet', D clapped his hands and bue's barrier vanished and he walked to her, put his arm around her and forcefully pulled her close to him until they were almost cheek to cheek. "You creep! Do anything to her and I'll slaughter you!" "Good threat, I admit! But…-". He lifted bue's chin. She struggled and his grip got tighter, mal had it. He charged him, D smirked then shot up a forcefield and looked back at bue who was incredibly scared. "Will ya do me a favor?" Bue looked up, still afraid and decided to wait for what he had in mind. What she heard made her very nervous. "So, my dear bue, will you help me?" Bue turned to mal. "Bue! You can't be serious! Are you really going to help him, after all he's done to you?!" Mal pleaded, bue looked back up at D? "I thought 'ya listened to yer girl! Cause I say that' mal should be left' be." D, of course, blew up his hair flap then looked back down at bue then smirked making bue uneasy. "On one condition." D lifted her chin again, bue had to think fast, mal's jaw, agape and his eyes read sarcastic. "Alright, alright… I admit it. Yer taller than me, I'm a midget and I finally accept it, ya happy now?" Now D's jaw dropped and while he thought about how stupid the comment was, she elbowed him in the gut. He let go of her and she leaped back by a pile of headless teddy bears, mal was on the other side of the room. D was staring them both down until mal spoke up. "How much longer do you plan on letting your anger get the best of you? At this point...well...I get why you're a psychopath-". D glared with a deadly stare while bue shook in surprise at how, both, noble, and idiotic he was being. "-But...you've grown to be obsessed with something-", D's eyes bulged with shock and worry of what mal was going to say next because deep down he knew it himself but it didn't need to spoken. "-You're obsessed with us. Keeping us here, toying with us, pushing us to our brink, making us fear you. All of which have worked so far but...it can't and won't last forever." D's eyes glowed and his sharp intimidating teeth showed, mal didn't flinch and stood his ground, bue was dumbfounded. He threw his punch and mal caught it just a few inches from his broken nose that D was about to shatter without a second thought. Mal bent it back then mal gave D an uppercut after kneeing his gut, what kept him from plummeting to the floor was mal's tight grip on his fist, bue gasped. Mal let go and D fell to the ground, he looked up to see mal's frightening scowl, from the angle he was at, his face had a completely black shadow from the forehead to just beyond the nose, covering up the wound. The one eye that was visible was blood-shot and his pupils spoke 'death', he didn't smirk like D does when he's about to kick someone's butt, instead was replaced by an awful frown. Not showing his sharp teeth like D does, just a look that meant business, it was the glare of an emotionless killer. D hid it by smirking as though he really had the upper hand even though he was frightened beyond belief, that was truly something when speaking of D, bue was breathless and was about to rush in at any given moment. D turned to bue, "bue! Get over here now!" She jumped but hesitated. "You don't have to do as he says. You have your own mind, he's insecure, weak, cocky to mask his true face which was a simple lonely little boy." His pride was getting struck, mal's awful glare remained as it seemed to look more focused upon turning back to find D still on the floor. "Groveling and pathetic, just know that I don't forgive like a switch that can merely be flipped easily." He snapped his fingers and a barrier appeared around D while he was on the ground, face down and pride completely broken. Bue slowly walked up to him with a scared face and tapped him on the shoulder and his head shot up as he almost jumped. "Bue...what's wrong?" She couldn't speak as she raised a brow with slight confusion as well as D when he looked back up at him. Mal looked behind him in curiosity and remembered the puppet was behind him. The puppet was just sitting on the bean bag in the corner where mal goes to train, sitting on it like it was his throne while mal got suspicious. D and bue averted their attention from mal to the puppet that just looked like a bear with half it's stuffing out. It gave off an eerie vibe then D looked back at mal. "Is there something special about that teddy bear that makes it different from the others? You're lookin' at it like it's got 6 heads!" Mal couldn't focus on anything else but the puppet as he began getting paranoid about it. It's dead eyes stared back at him blankly then looked down at D with an undetectable scowl.
Too creepy? I dunno, but tell me if you think it's getting a tad TOO...'messed up'.
