A/N I wrote a Farley/Neely oneshot. I showed my sister, and she told me I was crazy. I thanked her. xP Now you should all go read it. It's not really related to Insanity or Possession at all, but I like how it turned out x3 It's called Coffee Break. *shameless advertisement*
And one more thing! I realized I completely forgot about Ricky in my last chapter. Just… pretend he was there or something xD
The whole group made their way out of the cave. For the first time in what felt like forever to Nation and Cosmo (who had been locked in there for about a month now), they were outside. Farley and Ricky, who had been in there for almost as long, were equally grateful for freedom (though Farley was still too concerned about Neely to say much). Sonny, Janet, and Riff Raff had only been locked up for about a day, but there too were happy to be out. Ansalong had not said anything, but had held onto Riff's hand through the whole thing, sobbing silently.
Nation hugged her brother. "We're free!" she cried. Cosmo smiled
Ricky put his hands on his hips and looked around. "So, now what?" he asked. "I mean, I still don't know where we are." Suddenly, he turned to the McKinleys. "I heard you say something about Transylvania, didn't I…?" Ansalong's eyes widened. Obviously, her evil self had not realized that Ricky was unaware of aliens and Transylvania. She looked at Riff Raff, then both of them looked to Sonny.
"Yes, Sonny, where are we?" asked Riff Raff. Sonny shrugged and looked at Janet, who shrugged as well.
Farley rolled his eyes. "Oh, just tell him!" he snapped. He then turned to Ricky. "We're on Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania." he explained. Ricky raised an eyebrow and gave him an "oh really?" expression, then turned to Janet, seeing if she would confirm this statement. She nodded, shrugging again.
"Yeah!" Sonny exclaimed. "And I'm the king. Because my grandmother was the queen, and my dad would've been the king if Riff here hadn't killed him!" Obviously, Sonny enjoyed sharing his heritage with anyone, even if they did not really care. "Oh yeah! And Janet here? She's my mom!"
Ricky gasped. "Okay… what? You're a mother?" he asked, turning to Janet. She nodded. He then turned to Riff Raff. "And you… killed his father?" Riff Raff shrugged awkwardly. Ricky, still having trouble comprehending this, turned back to Sonny. "And you're the king of an alien planet? And we're ON an alien planet?" Sonny nodded enthusiastically. Ricky looked like he was going to faint. He then turned to Ansalong. "And you… you captured me and took me to an alien planet?"
Ansalong swallowed and nodded very slowly. Riff Raff gave her a comforting hug and she began speaking. "I didn't mean to. Honest." She sighed. "This is gonna sound crazy, but I'm not… normal right now. Do you remember how I told you I was brainwashed? Ya know, before you left me?" The amount of irritability in her tone showed Ricky how upset she was. He nodded slowly as she continued. "The brainwashing had a super weird side effect. I have a… er… split personality. A dangerous one, too. I had no control of anything you saw me do in that cave. When I yelled at you, or killed Neely, or locked everyone up. It wasn't really me." She turned around so that she did not have to face the group any longer, and tears formed in her eyes. Riff Raff tried to give her another hug, but she would not accept it.
The awkwardness of this moment was too much for Sonny, who finally exclaimed, "Hey guys, how about we get back to the palace?" he asked. "The trip is kinda long, so the sooner we leave the better."
Everyone thought Sonny's plan was a good one, and the group began following him back to where the palace was. It was very late at night (not the sky showed it – it was always night here), and after a little while a few of them (Farley and Ricky most of the time) started complaining. Sonny tried to keep a positive attitude. After another hour or so the group had been just about to enter the town when Ansalong froze, her eyes wide.
"What is it?" asked Riff Raff urgently. She shook her head.
"I… I can't go back." she whimpered. "Not after… not after what I've done." Sonny opened his mouth to argue with this statement, when she turned to face him. "Don't you understand? I'm not magically healed or something, I just managed to take control. My split personality could come back at any second, and if that happens, you'll all be dead." She paused. No one dared to say anything. "I… I don't want to hurt anyone…"
Riff Raff shook his head. "This is crazy!" he told her. "You've gotta come back with us." Ansalong, however, should no signs of changing her mind. She looked away. Riff Raff's eyes narrowed. "If you stay, I'm staying too." he stated, grabbed her hand. She shook her head furiously and backed away from the group.
"Don't you understand?" she screamed. "I'll kill you! Didn't you see what happened to Neely? I don't want the same thing to happen to any of you! Not even you, Ricky, and I hate you with all of my heart! I… I just don't want any more pain." With this sentence, she collapsed on the ground, sobbing. Riff Raff sighed and walked over to her, kneeling down beside her.
"Ansalong, don't say that." he told her, kissing her on the cheek. She pushed him away and continued crying. "You won't hurt anyone. I'll protect you."
"It's not about me, though!" she snapped. "I don't give a crap about what happens to me anymore! It's you I'm worried about! I could attack you at any second, and it's already clear that my split personality won't care who is dead by the end of this whole thing."
Sonny and Janet exchanged glances. Nation took a step closer to Cosmo. Ricky stood, staring, completely speechless. Farley, however, narrowed his eyes and walked over to Ansalong. "See? This is why we should have left her!"
Ansalong nodded. "Farley's right." she spoke, her voice very quiet. "I have to stay here." She looked away. Riff Raff shook his head.
"No, you don't, Ansalong. You-"
Ansalong turned to him, tears in her eyes. She looked angry. "No!" she screamed. "I'm staying here. I'm not letting anything happen to any of you. Go back to the palace, sort everything out, and let me stay here where I won't hurt you. If you don't let me, then… then I'll attack you. I'll… I'll make you go back." Suddenly, she looked very dangerous, and her pupils shrunk for a moment.
Sonny swallowed. "We've gotta go. C'mon, guys." With these words, the king of Transylvania walked away. Farley happily followed, and Ricky was not far behind. Janet sighed and followed as well. Cosmo grabbed his sister's hand and forced to her follow. Riff Raff just stood there, staring at the woman. He bent down once more and kissed her on the top of her head, then walked away.
"Good bye, Ansalong." he said softly. Ansalong looked up and sniffed. He turned once more to face her, a very sad smile on his face. "I… I love you…"
With these words, he walked away. Ansalong continued to stare at him as he left. She continued staring long after he had disappeared in the distance. Then she was alone. Completely alone. And sadness was now creeping in where happiness and appreciation should be. She buried her head into her arms and sobbed. Even outside, her sobs echoed around her, taunting her. Taunting the fact that she was so… messed up.
This is it. I've won, Nellie. hissed a voice. Ansalong swallowed and looked at the ground. The voice continued. I knew it. I knew you were too weak. And now… you're mine. Mine forever. I never have to worry about Riff Raff, or Ricky, or Nation or anyone. All I needed to do was get you to let sadness take over. And now you have. And now you're mine.
Ansalong could not process this. She was too tired. Her eyes ached, and her head was spinning. She could hardly even hear the voice anymore, even though it was still talking. Her surroundings were very fuzzy. Where was she again? Transylvania, right? Or… was she at home? Or, at DTV? Yes, surely she belonged at DTV… with Ricky. And in a few hours, they would be filming the next episode. But what about Riff Raff? Ansalong shook her head. Her thoughts were not making any sense. Was she dreaming? Or… had this all been a dream? Was she going to wake up, in bed, the sun shining through her window in Dentonvale? In some ways, she wanted to. Or, if this was reality, she just wanted to close her eyes and forget about it. She wanted all of this to go away.
Go to sleep, Nellie. the voice cooed softly. Just sleep…
A/N *sigh* This chapter was hard to right.
Okay guys, I gotta tell you something pretty darn cool. Go to my profile page. Then, scroll down to the last section. Now read it. You'll see some pretty epic things about Insanity, and what will happen after Possession. ;)
I wore my Columbia outfit to a Halloween carnival tonight. Nobody knew who I was, but I felt so happy! As I walked out, I sang "Stilettos and Lipstick" at the top of my lungs. It was pretty funny xD
And Riffsalong is like an illegal drug. You feel guilty after using it, but it feels so good! :D (it's a joke, guys. I have no clue what illegal drugs feel like...)
