You're Not a Bad Person

Chapter 17

Propose

The Morning Hot Sun was steaming out through the window, making a blazing square on the wooden floor, warming the room pleasantly. Sapphire woke up early, about 8:00am. Smiling to herself, she stretched her whole body out and exhaled deeply. That felt good. She blinked a few times and ran her fingers through her black hair. She felt good and she smiled about last night.

Sapphire got changed and sighed deeply. The morning was calm, only few Clakkerz went in the Bar for a warm breakfast. Rose was awake and lively. Sapphire walked down the stairs and some Clakkerz greeted her.

"Morning, Darlin'. Had a good sleep?" Rose asked brightly. Sapphire nodded.

"Hell yeah, Mom." Sapphire grinned.

"I didn't think you would wake up this early." She smirked, chuckling. Sapphire saw a few dishes and began to dry them over the bar. Then, after finishing the last few dishes, Rose allowed Sapphire to sit down as she held a brush.

"Can I brush your hair? It's SO lovely."

"Sure thing," Sapphire giggled. Rose brushed Sapphire's hair softly.

"What's on your mind?" Rose asked suddenly.

Sapphire stared at the floor for a moment and paused, and then she whispered shyly.

"Bart saved me last night." She giggled timidly. Rose nodded.

"Ah, so Bart saved you?" It seemed that Rose didn't realise until a few moments later. "He WHAT?" She squawked. Sapphire giggled, and then suddenly, her PDA began to bleep. Sapphire answered it as Rose brushed her hair.

Danni: Sapphire, I'm SO sorry if this is too early.

Sapphire: No, it's okay. I'm up. How did you-

Danni: I found the secret code to contact you. You know, everyone here's missing you.

Sapphire snorted.

Sapphire: What, including Furlong?

Danni: Um…

Sapphire: Sorry, forget I asked that. How is everyone?

Danni: Everyone's fine. The Glukkons and your Dad still have NO idea that you're gone. But you better be quick. They might find out soon and if they do, we're dead.

Sapphire: You mean Irwin and Humphreys Danni; they were the Jackasses who sent me here. Besides, you guys were just as angry as the Glukkons will anyway.

Danni: True. What about the Slig antidote?

Sapphire: It's gonna take a little longer. I'm at Mongo Valley, a place called New Yolk City. I'm being looked after, I'm well and safe and everyone likes me here…well, except for the occasionally people.

Danni: Ohh, what about this big bro I heard about? Do you-

Sapphire: Danni, don't even START! I had enough things going on about that bastard. There's no way on Odd's Green Earth I will go out with something like him!

Danni: Sorry, I thought he could be the one. You know someone better then Furlong. What's his name anyway?

Sapphire: Heh, his name's Bartholomew Sligsbury Sligsworth. But he's called Bart. Or Mr. Tentacle face or Bastard. Those are the common nicknames I used on him.

Danni: *giggle* you must be SO in love with him to remember his entire name. Its sounds like a Mouthful.

Sapphire: Danni!

Danni: I'm sorry Sapphire. Oh, I have great news for you.

Sapphire: Really?

Danni: Ruby was infected with that weird Slig illness, right? Well, Irwin said that it was only a minor one and now she recovered herself. Isn't that great? And then soon after, Valet Slig just proposed to Ruby and she said YES!

Danni giggled out loud down the PDA and Sapphire frowned.

Sapphire: Great…just my luck.

Danni: What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy too.

Sapphire: I am, deep inside, but I wasn't there to see or hear it…

Sapphire sighed deeply and Rose noticed her being distress. Danni paused.

Danni: I'm sorry about that Sapphire, but she promised that the wedding will not start until you come back home, in one piece.

Sapphire: Aww, tell Ruby that I said thanks. And tell everyone that I said Hi. Doc. Vykker isn't here yet, but hopefully, he will soon.

Danni: I have to go now sorry Sapphire. Headly will kill me if he sees me talking to you like this. It's suppose to be top secret.

Sapphire: Don't worry; my PDA is fixed now, so call me anytime you need something.

Danni: Sure thing, see yea.

Sapphire's PDA bleeped once and she sighed deeply. Rose looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Sapphire smiled at Rose.

"Nothing, it's just my Sister's engaged to her boyfriend." Sapphire smiled brilliantly. Rose jumped up and down in joyfulness.

"Oh, that's wonderful Darlin'." She gasped. "You think she could invite me and Billy over?"

Sapphire chuckled. Rose tied Sapphire's hair up in a ponytail and she smiled proudly to herself. Sapphire glanced at the mirror and smiled too. She looked gorgeous with it, and then Sapphire turned to Rose and answered her.

"Sure, why not? Besides, you were the guys who helped me." Rose embraced Sapphire tightly and she giggled. They heard sudden banging on the Bar counter. Rose rolled her eyes. The Clakkerz wanted more beer.

"Can you help me out Darlin'?"

"Sure thing," Sapphire got up, flicking her newly-tied up hair over her shoulder and looked around. "Can I take your order?" Sapphire went to pour some Soulstorm in a tall glass for the Clakker with a Molecule. Then, she heard a voice that pointed a remark at her and she groaned.

"I like yea' new hairstyle, it's tight and strict, just like you."

Sapphire rolled her eyes and glared hotly at Bart, who was now leaning on the table. Some Clakkerz around him stumbled away from him, frightened.

"Shut up you Bastard." Sapphire snapped and turned away. She listened to the warm crowd. She heard Bart's dark chuckling and she ignored him.

The day went by quickly, still, no sign of Doc. Vykker and Sapphire left it for another day. Sapphire thought about Ruby and Valet Slig. Cute small Sligs getting married; she giggled at that. It was really new to Vykkers Lab. She thought Valet Slig didn't have the guts. Well, she was grateful that Ruby was getting the love Sapphire never got. She was surprised that she wasn't heartless. Can her heart break once it's already broken? She thought about that too.

Rose and Billy said goodnight to Sapphire and she replied. She went upstairs. She walked slowly up to the Inn, her hand running along with side of the smooth wooden wall, the other one on the banister. She strolled slowly to her room and fiddled around with the door handle, the key inserted in the hole and she twisted it. The door opened with a tiny creak, but then a voice stopped her.

"Oh, going to bed on yea own. Isn't that a little lonely for you, Sapphy?"

Sapphire snarled under her breath lowly and turned around, seeing Bart leaning against his doorframe, his arms folded and he eyed Sapphire up and down. Sapphire pulled her hair out of its ponytail and shook her black hair, still glaring intensely at Bart. Sapphy?

"I can look after myself Bart. I don't your friend to look after me." Sapphire murmured. Bart giggled in a menacing way.

"Oh, stop it. You're turning me on." He chuckled. Sapphire snarled.

"Oh Bart-Baby, the bed's getting cold."

Sapphire's heart sank when she heard a female voice from Bart's room. She saw a female Clakker in Bart's bed, waiting for Bart as she giggled. Sapphire glared frostily at him.

"You better tend to your Whore before she dies from the lack of sex." Sapphire sarcastically muttered in silent pain. Bart didn't seem to notice it.

"Okay, whatever bitch, but just remember," he leaned closer to Sapphire's face. "You know where my room is. Come in anytime when you're lonely." He smirked and closed the door in her face. Sapphire narrowed her eyes. She was alone in the corridor. She suddenly felt abandoned without Bart, and she hated it.

She went into her room and closed the door gently; her mind ached with lonesome distress. The anguish that had plagued her for moments made her fell malicious. She wanted to charge into that room and kill that Clakker whore. Mind you, the Knife she bought a few hours ago would come in handy to slice the bitch up. She shook her head. She spent the night thinking hard. What should happen tomorrow?

She tossed her hat aside; the hat flew across the room and hid under her bed as it came back. She groaned and searched for it. She found her hat, but her knuckles knocked into something thick. She pulled it out and she had a thick book in her hand. It was covered in dust, and so she took a deep breath and blew. It was a dark brown book, with golden letters on it which caught her attention:

YOU'RE NOT A BAD PERSON

The Author was unknown and she looked at the first page. It was only the contents page, but she slammed the book shut when she heard voices.

Her heart burst out in flames and her blood went cold to hear the sound of moaning, groaning, giggling…basically, sex noises from Bart and that Whore. She cried out in pain, unable to take the pain any longer and smacking the book across her head several times, she scrambled for the door and charged down the stairs, running away from those nightmarish noises she no longer wanted to listen too. She crashed into the front door and landed flat on her face outside. She hurried down the dark path, tears threatening her.

She rushed back into the Mongo Wilds, the stars dimly sparked in the calm waters of the Mongo Wilds. The Moon stood huge against the sky once again in its unusual beauty. She panted heavily when she stood on the wooden bay. Her body was trembling and it felt as if she had ran away from a huge boulder. She glanced up at the waterfall and she sighed deeply, crashing onto all four and silently, she cried hot tears. The tears must be from being homesick, she misses everyone back home and she started to hate Bart's teasing even more. Plus, her heart ached so much; it was unbearable to think of coming back to the Inn.

Why did her heart ache so? Perhaps she was missing home dearly. Bart was a bastard, like any other, so she shouldn't be bothered about him. She scowled venomously when she heard the Clakker Whore's laugh echo in her mind. She clenched her hands. Then, Sapphire had gone silence, her head hung low.

She looked at her hand and she noticed that that strange book was in her hand. She sniffed, rubbing the tiny droplet of her tear away with the palm of her hand and sat down. She then lay on her side and rested her head under her folded arm, the book was placed beside her. The night had taken forever to past and she relaxed in its cool breeze. Then, she opened the book and read it under the moonlight.

Hm, that was strange, right? But Sapphire misses home, and she wants to be with her little sister when she got engaged, so she'll be emotional with nearly anything. Let's just hope nothing bad will happen to her.

Nothing much to say. Thankies for reading this chapter, more will come as soon as it can.
