You're Not a Bad Person

Chapter 27

Meagly McGraw and Tiny

Sapphire's world was still darkness. She felt something pierce her neck and she hissed, she exhaled deeply after that…

Her eyes snapped open and she panted, panicking like a small animal. Her eyes darted at her surroundings from under her brown hat. She was still in the abandoned house. She tried to sit up but…she couldn't. She felt tied up. She glanced behind her and saw the back of Dave, his head hanging low. Her wrists were tied against Dave's and they were back-to-back. She glanced over her shoulder.

"Hey, hey Dave, wake up!" Sapphire commanded. She shook herself for a bit. Dave's head rose up and he looked around.

"Ay, yai, yai…" He moaned as he woke up. He sighed deeply. "Crawled out from one hole and into another."

"Are you gonna tell me what's going on?" Sapphire asked instantly.

"I was going to ask you the same thing." He giggled. "But I bet your not here looking for a certain someone."

"Maybe," Sapphire murmured, looking around. Dave paused.

"Okay, let me guess…you're looking for Ruby as well, right?" Dave said.

Sapphire giggled.

"Heh, that's too good for a guess. Wanna start explaining?" She said.

"Psychic powers…" Dave whispered. Sapphire tilted his head. Then he laughed lightly. "Heh, just kidding with you Sapphire," he answered dismissively. Sapphire sighed deeply. "I heard that Ruby was missing from Vykkers Labs and that no one would tell you. But Danni and Kiki told me that they did, which was right. I escaped from Vykkers Labs to look for Ruby too. After all, you do have a lot of things on your mind right now."

"Hmm, well, at least someone thinks about others…" She murmured, thinking bitterly about Bart. God, she misses him already…

"So what about you?" Sapphire paused, thinking how to answer Dave.

"I've got the antidote for everyone. Weren't you infected too?"

"Yeah, but I was just mild too, like Ruby. It's Furlong that's the big problem."

"Should I just smash the bottles right now?" Sapphire narrowed her eyes furiously.

"Go for it," Dave agreed without enthusiasm. "By the way, I heard about this other Big bro Slig here with two legs. Is it true?" Dave asked, looking over his shoulder. Sapphire nodded sadly. Dave chuckled. "I'd like to meet him some time, you know." He smirked. Sapphire wished she could see him again, but she tired and her head was aching from her crash. She was pissed off.

Outside, a giant large Outlaw smirked as he held a dirty blood-soaked axe up in the air. He smirked at the building.

Dave sighed.

"So, you know this guy?" Dave asked. Sapphire nodded. "So, what's his name?"

"Bart…" She whispered. "Bartholomew Sligsbury Sligworth."

Dave chuckled.

"Sounds like a mouthful; you must REALLY like him if you remembered all of that." Dave smirked. Sapphire's jaw hardened. Kiki said the exact same thing, now she was getting annoyed with it. "Is he a good guy?"

"I dunno…" She replied honestly. Suddenly, the door slammed opened and the shadowed figure stood in the doorway. Sapphire and Dave panicked as he held a huge axe up high.

"Shit, now what? Do something Sapphire!" Dave gasped. Sapphire snarled.

"After you!" She snapped back. They watched as the axe fell down towards them. "Now!" Sapphire shouted and Dave knew what she met. They threw themselves down and the axe caught the rope. Sapphire and Dave was free and they rolled away. Sapphire panted and gasped, seeing the Outlaw aiming the axe at her again. She screamed, raising a foot and stabbing it into his stomach, winding him. Dave watched as Sapphire threw the Outlaw forwards. He smashed his head into a window, the glass shattered into a thousand pieces and he stopped instantly, obviously dead. Dave staggered upwards and rushed away. Sapphire smirked at her work and turned back, noticing that Dave vanished. She thought deeply.

Her bag was still with her, her guns were gone though. She cursed under her breath. She walked down the hallway out of this house. She groaned to herself. She wasn't going anywhere and she was screwed without her Punisher. She heard shuffling and she stopped. A figure looked through the dirty window.

"Over here, Sapphire," he said and walked away. Sapphire bit her lip, but followed. She knew that voice. She stopped as she saw the person. She smiled. Scuzz was standing before her. "Got something that might interest you!" he grinned with a chuckle and opened his coat.

"Oh Scuzz, thank Odd you're here." Sapphire gasped.

Scuzz knew that her guns were taken away and he told Sapphire that they took Ruby somewhere called Beak's Opple Farm, which was by Buzzaton. She rolled her eyes. So there must be another way to Buzzaton around the Graveyard. Though Sapphire's Moolah was taken away too, Scuzz chuckled.

"You make quite a kill with that Punisher." Scuzz said, pointing at the bodies that laid dead in the Graveyard. "So, as a reward, I'll give you this one. Don't worry about the Moolah, this one's on me." Scuzz smirked and handed Sapphire a bigger gun. It was silver, shiny and new. She smiled. It looked liked an Uzi. Scuzz started to explain. "That's a TMP. A fully-automatic machine pistol, It can fire custom 9mms." He smirked. "Go nuts."

"Aw, thanks Scuzz." She hugged him happily and he grinned shyly. "Where would I be without you?" She asked. Scuzz shrugged. She bid him goodbye and searched around for a new way out. Soon, she found a tunnel. She groaned as she shuffled herself through. The stone of the tunnel was rough and bumpy, and she scraped her knees and back as she went along; but Sapphire set a demanding pace. The tunnel came out in what could loosely be termed as an alley. It was covered over with tall reeds, gently swaying in the breeze. Sapphire jumped out and she was by a bridge near Beak's Opple farm. She heard giggling suddenly, high and annoying. She turned to see a small Outlaw, a tall hat sat on his head. Beside him was a big outlaw. It wasn't Blisterz. He was bulky and his body was lean, bent slightly forward. He wore a mask of metal; red eyes glowed threateningly through them.

"So glad to see you here, Sapphire,"

"Who are you?" Sapphire murmured hotly.

"I am Meagly McGraw, an Outlaw boss. I heard about your wonderful little sister. She would make a perfect bride for me."

"What the fuck?!" Sapphire gasped. Meagly grinned.

"I see that you don't approve of me. Oh well, I guess you're not invited to my wedding." He turned to Sapphire, smirking darkly. "High five…Sister-in-law," He giggled nastily, holding his hand up mockingly. Sapphire's temper exploded and she snatched her knife from its pocket.

"Fuck you!" She shouted, enraged. The knife was thrown towards Meagly. Meagly stopped, frozen for a second and he slowly turned to his hand. The knife has stabbed through the palm of his hand, the knife stabbed and it stuck against the pole of the bridge roof. He whimpered in pain, utterly shocked at his hand. Sapphire huffed a laugh in pride. Meagly cried out.

"Tiny!" he yelled at his bodyguard. His bodyguard Tiny grabbed the knife and threw it towards Sapphire. She gasped as it flew towards her, dodging out of the way. It smashed into the rocky mountain wall behind her. Meagly whimpered, clutching onto his hand in pain as blood oozed out. He rushed away with Tiny behind him. Sapphire narrowed her eyes as they ran away together. She yanked the knife out of the wall and wiped it clean on her t-shirt, placing it back in.

Ruby must be in the Opple farm.

"Don't worry Ruby; I'm coming for you…" She murmured fiercely, walking down the bridge.

Heh, I thought about the whole knife incident and pissed myself laughing at it. I loved it, all thanks to resident Evil 4. I've played that game too much ___ Oh well, so Dave's vanished, Scuzz is now seemingly Sapphire's little helper and now she near Beak's Opple Farm.

A great battle awaits!

Now…when I say great battle…
