You all wanted more... so here's more!
Reviewer thanks
Starspring: Okay, the 'bowing down' is just pushing it, lol.
Jyushi girl: Yeah, I have different kinds of writing in me. (PS, Anastasia isn't a disney movie... I'm quite shocked, as well)
Frog Disease: Trust me, there'll be more to un-expect, lol.
Red and Goldi hadn't recognized me yet, and I was thankful for that. But what I wanted to know about them was... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE?!
I sat down on the couch, after I found my clothes and got dressed--- well, actually Red dressed me, since I was still paralyzed, but still... Goldi found Larry hiding in the closet, and forced him to sit in the living room with us, questioning him. Wolf sat at my feet, resting by the fire.
"Alright, kid, tell us what you're up to!" Goldi snapped, aiming an arrow at Larry's forehead.
"I-I told you! I was just helping my uncle break into a house!" Larry stammered. "I-I thought we were just going to rob it! I d-didn't know h-he was going t-to slit that guy's throat o-or try to rape that girl! I swear!"
"An unlikely story. Why should we believe you? You're a world-class liar!"
"I only lie about seeing wolves! Seriously, that's the only lie I can tell with a straight face!"
"Wait... he schlit Pin's tharoat?!" I was able to say (my mouth was still a little numb). "I'm go-ha KILL 'hat guy!"
"How can you kill someone's who's already dead?" Wolf asked.
"Fthine. I'll kill him TWITHE!!"
"Speaking of killings," Red asked, facing Wolf. "What were you doing around here, Wolf?"
"I was prowling in the woods when that guy and Larry walked by. ...Now, what were YOU doing around here, Red?"
"An' huat's wi'h all 'he gear?" I slurred.
Red grabbed a log and threw it on the fire. "It's a long story, but you deserve to hear." she said. "It started three weeks after my cousin ran away..."
Four years ago, three weeks after Blu ran away... 3rd person POV, just so you know.
Red sat by the creek, texting on her phone as Goldi waded her feet in the water. "Do you think Blu will come home?" Goldi asked.
"It's Blu, Goldi. Not Lassie." Red scoffed, not looking up from her phone. "Why would you bother to ask?"
Goldi hung her head low. "I miss her, a little. Who else am I going to pin my bad deeds on?"
Red looked up at her phone and glared at her cousin. "How can you say that? Thanks to you, we're on Grandma's 'shit list', all because YOU are always acting like a brat!"
"Excuse me?! YOU'RE the one who invites boys over, runs up a cell phone bill, and never gave a damn about Blu!"
"Oh, like YOU did? ...Don't answer that, of course you did! You needed SOME patsy to frame." Red paused then, hearing something.
"At least I'm not a slutty---" Red clapped her hand over Goldi's mouth, muffling out her last words.
"Shh. I hear something." Red whispered. "It's coming from behind those bushes."
The two cousins crawled over to a bush, and saw Biggy talking with Puss in Boots. "What do you MEAN you can't find her?!" Biggy snarled.
"I've searched everywhere, Biggy." Puss said. "She's nowhere to be found. Maybe a troll ate her."
"No, she wouldn't be THAT stupid to run away into the swamp. Go hang around town, see if you can snoop around and see if anyone knows where she's at." Puss nodded, and began to walk away. "And Puss. Unless you find her, I wouldn't come back. I tend to be very... impatient, when it comes to these things."
"Whatever."
"I mean it, Puss! Find Blu-aqua-robin-whatever and KILL her! Or else it'll be YOUR blood that will be spilled."
Puss scoffed. "Don't waste that threat. I have nine lives."
"Then I'll kill you NINE times... each death will be worse than the other."
Puss nodded and walked off, while Biggy turned and ran in the other direction...
...While Red and Goldi were running like heck through the forest. "We've got to tell Mom and Dad!" Goldi gasped.
"No way, they won't believe us! We've got to find someone who will," Red said. "Someone who'll help us, no matter how ridiculous it sounds!"
They both froze in their tracks, both coming up with the perfect person. "Robin!" they both exclaimed, then ran into town.
Present, back to Blu's POV
"...At first, I thought Robin wouldn't believe us," Red continued, sighing. "But he did. He knew what kind of criminal Biggy was, and didn't have a doubt that he would be after Blu." she turned to Wolf. "He told us that you said you saw Biggy and Blu get in a fight, and that's what gave him his lead. ...Do you know anything else?"
Wolf shook his head. "No. I saw Blu with Pin a couple times, but nothing else." Wolf lied. ...I had a feeling he was either protecting me, or himself.
Red nodded. "Well, anyway, Robin figured Goldi and I should learn how to defend ourselves, in case Biggy were to come after us next. He sent us to the 12 Huntsmen-- excuse me, 12 Huntresses, to train."
"We spent weeks up there," Goldi sighed in exaggeration. "It was excruciating. Train, train, train, that's all we did! ...But, I'll admit, it was worth it." She held up her bow and arrow, caressing both with glee.
"We still go up there every once in a while, namely to check up with Pin to find out if he's found our cousin, yet."
"That's not the ONLY reason." Goldi grinned teasingly. "YOU go up there just to WATCH him train."
Red blushed. "I do not! I have absolutely NO interest in Pin, whatsoever."
"Are you kidding? You nearly fainted with delight while he was fighting with his shirt off! AND I heard you call him a 'Hunka-hunka burning love' when we passed by him. Don't deny it!"
"For the last time, I do NOT, nor will I EVER, show any emotion toward---"
Just then, the front doors opened, and all of our eyes (except Larry's) widened with delight. "PIN!!!" We all exclaimed (except Larry, of course).
In walked that Zorro-wannabe. "So, this is where that brute took you, eh?" Pin asked me, sitting down beside me. I gasped, seeing the scar on his neck. He must've followed my gaze, because then he said, "Don't worry. It'll heal up pretty quick."
"Y-You're alive!" Larry stammered. "B-b-but, how?! My uncle slit your throat deep enough to kill you!"
Pin lifted up his cape. "Unfortunately, your uncle never knew about my Enchanted Cape. As long as I'm wearing this, I can heal quickly, and be invincible... sort of."
"Sort of?" Goldi asked.
"Well, when I have it over a wound, it heals it, and I can use it as a shield against anything. Needless to say, it'll only protect or fix an area of my body that it's covering. I pulled it over my throat before I blacked out, and it healed it... well, only enough so I could become conscious and track down that fiend. ...By the way, where is he?"
Wolf belched. "Excuse me." he said, covering his mouth. Pin nodded, getting the point, no doubt.
Larry sank back in his chair, trying to keep as far away from Wolf as possible. I chuckled a bit at this.
"Now then, girl," Red said, addressing me (finally taking her goo-goo eyes off Pin). "Who might YOU be?"
"Just a stranger from out of town," Pin said. "I let her stay at my house until she could find another place to stay." he gave me a wink. "Speaking of which, let's all head back to my place. I feel uncomfortable standing inside a criminal's home."
"What about this stooge?" Goldi asked, aiming her arrow at Larry again.
Pin approached the boy, then reached into his pocket, pulling out a small flask. He opened it, pouring out some sort of sparkling dust, then blew it in the boy's face. Larry's expression was blank.
"You never saw any of us. You just came here to spend the night because you got lost, but you will find your way back home in the morning. Your uncle is in a prison far, far away, and you've lost contact with him." Pin said in a trance-like voice, then snapped his fingers, and Larry fell asleep.
"What was that?" Wolf asked.
"Memory-replacement dust. This way, he won't remember a thing from tonight, and he can live his life carefree of his uncle's... unfortunate consequence."
We all looked at Wolf, who bowed his head. Was it guilt?
Red helped me stand up, and she helped me walk. "She's paralyzed." she told Pin when he looked at us, quizzically.
Pin then scooped me up in his arms (much to my dismay) "C'mon, let's go." he said.
With that, we put out the fire and left the house, leaving Larry-- the mind-warped liar-- asleep in the chair of his late-uncle's home.
A/N: Confession time- I couldn't handle just killing Pin off. And it seems the bad cousins are actually going to have a change in conscience... speaking of which, where's Jiminy? Review!!!!
