You Make Me Crazy
A.N. This is chapter two, hopefully I didn't rush it since it's kinda hard to think up of a good chapter to follow this. Critics are welcome!
Chapter Two: Distressing News and the Mass Cleansing
When the two friends got to their room in a hotel they just grinned at each other.
"So…"
"So…"
The two just stared at each other and nodded at each other to speak first. Hera looked around and closed the door; facing Tim she sat down on the bed she gave him a quick smile before proceeding.
"Do you think they have fabric stores here?" she finally asked him.
Staring at his friend he let out a chuckle and plopped down right beside her.
"Dunno but I'll keep an eye open, also we should really get Tanya a new book, she already finished the one I got her." Tim said rolling over.
"Yeah, I remembered when she was seven and I got her The Wonderful Wizard of Oz she was hooked to it." Hera said smiling at the fond memory.
"Anyway let's get going, we've got a schedule to keep!" Tim exclaimed to his friend.
"What about jet lag?" she asked taking out some pills and gulping them down.
"Aw man! You just drank that! Now I'll have to wait till you wake up." Tim grumbled, plopping back down on his bed.
Taking out a book from his pocket, Tim began flipping through it without interest until he came across an old picture of a boy with over sized glasses and messed up brown hair, standing next to a girl with brown hair and muddy brown eyes. To you, o dear reader it would sound sweet but to Tim it fills his heart with sadness every time he sees it. For that is Tanya, his mute sister that has lost the use of her legs. She was born with these things alongside her constant twitching; right now Tanya is living with his father. Grumbling, Tim put the photo back inn the page where he found it and slapped the book shut. When Hera finally woke up the two friends set off for the shops. Entering an old Japanese shop Tim's eyes widened to the size of saucers when he saw the paintings and all the dolls.
"Ummm…Hera, you wouldn't mind if I went around a bit right?" he asked staring avidly at the different classic Japanese things in front of him.
"I won't mind at all, since I'm going to a video game store then I'll be going to the fabric store." Hera proclaimed marching out of the door.
Once outside Hera removed her mailman's cap and let her messed up ginger colored hair fall in front of her face before hurrying to the video game store, her hazel eyes sparkling all the while. When she entered the store, her smile grew wider. Going near to one shelf she began taking some Japanese horror games, going to the counter she paused and took Harvest Moon: Animal Parade from another shelf.
"Hi, I'd like to buy this please." She said putting down the video games on the counter.
The guy on the counter gave her a long, hard look before scanning the games. After paying for it, she began scouting the shops for a fabric store. Finally spotting one, she quickly entered trying hard not to look too excited. After checking through all the fabrics, she finally settled on a simple silky emerald, a velvety red and a satin gold.
When she and Tim met up they just gawked at each other's purchases.
"Seems like you went overboard." Tim said pointing at the fabric.
"Hey! You have no idea on what I'll make out of it!" Hera exclaimed defensively.
Tim gave a smile and pretended to think on what she'll make of it.
"Oh…I'm guessing you'll make something runway worthy but you won't wear it, much less sell it cuz they're your pretties." Tim finally said giving Hera a large smile.
Rolling her eyes, Hera grabbed him by the hand and dragged him back to the hotel.
When they got to their hotel room Tim's phone began buzzing. Taking his phone out he looked shocked on who called. Taking a pen he began tapping in morse code. This is the conversation.
"Hello Tanya? What's wrong?"
Tim hears sobbing
"Tanya why're you crying?"
Tanya replies with
"Timmy, Papa's dead…I don't know how but he is."
Staring at the phone in shock and distress, Tim sat down and kept on tapping/saying comforting words to his sister.
"Tanya, Timmy'll be home soon okay? I'll pick you up, you'll live with Timmy from now on." Tim went on.
Hearing slight sniffling, Tim just sighed.
"This is maniacal." He grumbled.
After hanging up, he saw that Hera was wrapping something up.
"Hey Hera, we gotta go…"Tim said ruefully.
"Go? As in go home?" Hera asked looking shocked.
"Yup."
"But, why?"
"Dad's dead. Tanya said he dropped down just as she came rolling in."
"Oh. Tim, I am so sorry."
"S'ok."
"I'll pack up. By the way, give this to Tanya." Hera said holding out a rectangular object wrapped up in the velvety red fabric that now has Tanya's name written in swirly handwriting.
"Wha-"
"Don't ask. I found a book, I bought it. End of story." Hera said shrugging.
"Thanks."
"No problemo."
Meanwhile somewhere in Europe, (Wow. These creations sure could travel!) the creations have just finished burning a wooden creation.
"Alright, good job. Tomorrow we're going to meet the Snow White and Rose Red figurines. We need to show them…heaven's light." The porcelain doll said with a sinister chuckle.
"But ma'am…why can we not look for the cure so that we could help the creations?" Asked a rather timid looking rabbit creation.
"Because it will cost us time and to us time is very precious." The doll snapped at the rabbit.
"But why not?" persisted the rabbit.
"Because I said so!" the doll said looking frustrated.
"Ma'am we just killed fifteen creations which you presumed was infected. Isn't it better if we just find the cure?" Asked the rabbit.
"I am doing these for all of you! If you are not up for it then leave!" the doll yelled, causing everyone to gasp and murmur as they saw the innocent rabbit twitch at the doll.
"Very well then ma'am. I'm leaving, I'm going to search for The Baron then we'll find the cure and cure everyone." The rabbit said hopping off quickly.
Turning towards the crowd she frowned at them and walked off, devising a plan to destroy The Baron and all the other infected creations alongside the rabbit.
