Chapter 16: One Night to Remember--Part III—Interruptions for Double D and Bridget

(Back in one Part of Chapter 14…)

This caught Double D completely off guard as he blushed red as a beet at her sudden actions towards him, "Bridget…" he muttered as he then did the unexpected himself; he embraced her as they continued to dance.

This also made Bridget blush red as a beet at his sudden actions towards her, "Double D…" she started to ask him, "Do you… feel the same way?"

"… Yes Bridget; I do," Double D replied with a smile. She smiled back as they continued to dance to the slow song…

(And now, onto Chapter 16…)

They continued to dance slowly until they heard some commotion in the area of the gym where the refreshment table was. The two felt to have a knot in their stomach from the unnatural energy over in that area as the two left each others arms.

"There's something wrong," Double D started to say as he turned to Bridget beside him.

Bridget nodded her head in agreement as she and Double D started to walk over to the refreshment table. But as they did, Double D a familiar redhead in the crowd closest the Bridget; it was Crizum, a smirk imprinted on his face towards him and Bridget. It was when Crizum started to pace towards them that Double D widened his eyes in fright; he was after… "Bridget!"

"Huh…?!" questioned Bridget as she started to turn towards Double D, but as she did, she caught a glimpser of Crizum coming towards her; a large dagger grasped in his right hand.

Bridget widened her eyes and started to make a gasp of surprise as the dagger was now over her head… that is until someone pushed her out of harms way to the ground, "Brid--!!"

Screams erupted from the crowd around them as people started to notice what was happening; one scream sounding like he was extreme pain. That's when Bridget's face grew dangerously pale as she then heard a loud 'thud' towards the location of her feet.

"Double D…?!" she questioned with horror as she looked towards where her feet were. Double D was lying there on his left side, away from her; his left shoulder was bleeding profusely from the stab wound of the dagger, which went right through his shoulder, "Double D!!" she cried as she got up a little and leaned in towards his body. Bridget broke out into tears at his condition, "D-Double D…"

"Aww, is Lettuce upset?" questioned a familiar, sinister voice behind her as she turned her head around to see Crizum standing behind her, "Well, don't be; you'll be with Ruby soon… in your after life."

After he said that, she turned her attention back towards Double D; his body was rapidly sinking into a darkness-made portal, "No!" Bridget muttered as he disappeared completely; more tears now erupted from her eyes, "No!!"

Crizum soon saw his chance to escape, "He'll meet with you later, Lettuce," he stated before going into a portal of darkness himself, leaving a weeping Bridget behind…

Waaa! It was Double D's turn, sadly... D; The last part will be coming to a computer near you!
