Ok I got a lot of messages about confusion over the characters appearances, I re-read my chapters and I apologize *bows* Gomen! But I should explain this, they're human-like but they still have animal-like qualities such as fur, claws, the ears, and as for Flaky and Shady's quills it's more like hair on them. Which is how she can pull it back in a ponytail and why his wild and long, oh and Flippy does have a little bear tail :P have fun with that visual of Evil with a tiny little puff tail...ppffffftttt xDDD *laughs uncontrollably until knife hits me in the head, I stand up with it sticking out of my head* _ On other news banana chicken fritter taco pie *passes out*
~Chapter 5~
Flaky watched as Evil tossed handful after handful of weapons into the knapsack, Flaky looked at the food disappointed, she looked back at Evil and stuck the salad into a baggy and hid it in my quills.
"Why do I need to train, I can just run from him like I have been." Flaky interjected, Evil stopped and looked her up and down.
"So you'll just continue to let him run you from every happy home you find, that's how jerks like him get fun from their victims, he has a fear over you and you can run away as much as you want but he'll still be there. Tracking you. Tormenting you. Once you stand up to him he'll go and leave you alone." Evil pointed out, Flaky clenched her fists cursing the fact that he was right.
"But I've stood up to him before and it didn't work." She argued, Evil walked up to her and looked her in the eyes.
"You're not intimidating, not at all. In fact you walked inside with a serious look on your face approaching me with a knife whilst covered in blood that clearly isn't yours you still wouldn't be intimidating." He said bluntly, Flaky opened her mouth to argue but the door flew open and a green, sticky squirrel walked in covered in candy.
"Flaky! Flaky! YouhavetogettotheTownSquareit'ssomethingyouneedtosee!" Nutty sped off talking so fast it all sounded like gibberish, he looked at Evil and turned to run. "Ohmygawdno!" Evil shook the candy addicted squirrel and looked into his eyes.
"Repeat that. Slowly, your life depends on it." Evil threatened as Nutty shook.
"Town Square, message for Flaky. So much blood." Nutty tried with quite obvious difficulty, Evil smirked and ripped the candied apple off Nutty's head taking his face with it. Nutty screamed and clutched at the meat behind his face, Evil dragged him to the sink and shoved him in the food dispenser. Flaky looked in horror and screamed as loud as she could, covering her face from the horrible sight. The green bear moved her hands away from her face with kind eyes, her heartbeat slower then remembered what Nutty said. Flippy looked at her and slowly lead her to Town Square.
They walked in silence hand-in-hand to Town Square, Flaky was quite obviously shaking and muttering things to herself but Flippy couldn't make it out.
She needs to be trained. Evil said breaking the silence, at least in Flippy's head, Flippy shook his head.
I can protect her, she doesn't have the emotional stability to train, especially with you.
You can't be around her all the time, you two have only been spending time together because you just started dating but you both have to return to your normal lives. Evil said making a good point, they've only spent that last two days together because of their blossoming relationship, but Flaky has a job to get back to and so does Flippy.
I don't have to work we both know that, I have enough money.
You can't stalk her 24/7 she'd get sick of you! Evil laughed, Flippy ignored him as they approached Town Square.
There was a crowd around the tiny town parkish area and in the middle was the largest oldest tree in Happy Tree Town, Flaky looked up on the tree and saw the big oak was decorated with red streamers. On closer inspection she realized that the streamers were someone's organs strung out on the tree in a manner of décor. A blue anteaters head was at the very top of the tall tree like a Christmas star with his tongue wrapping further than it could down the mighty oak. In the trees trunk a carved heart dripped from an actual heart with a purple quill in it, under the heart were two blood soaked files. Flippy pulled the quill out and picked up his and Flaky's hospital records.
That bastard wanted to get our information from Happy Tree Hospital.
Flaky looked up in horror at what he'd done, as he always did when he followed her, cause her pain and death and destruction. Flippy handed her her file and she opened it, a heart-shaped piece of paper with neat and pretty writing on it.
My dear, dear Flakes as I write this I think of how I've wronged you in the past, honestly, it makes me smile because those were our moments. I don't want to lose you but I know that you've decided to make this your home, so it'll be my home as well. I know your address I know Mr. Army Bear's address I know his past I damn sure know your past and I know how to break you. I will stay here and torment you and your friends into the brink of insanity until you have no choice but to leave with me. Everyone'll be happier that way, don't you think? And I know, I know this sounds mean but I'm doing it for you, it's always been for you, my little Flakes. MY little Flakes, my love, my heart. My pet.
Love Shady.
Flaky looked up at the nightmare before her, the big oak has been defiled friends sit in sorrow around a mangled friends corpse. Of course he'll come back but he pain will stick with him forever and knowing Shady there was a lot of pain involved. Flaky looked over at Flippy who had opened his file and looked at it in disbelief, Flaky walked up behind him and saw a picture of Shady and a purple bear. Flippy looked at it crying, touching the picture lingeringly; Flaky smiled slowly and stepped back. She turned from him and ran off into the night lacing her trail with tears of despair and flakes of loneliness.
Flaky ran home away from the mess that he'd created just for her 'his little Flakes' she cursed herself and felt anger well up inside of she got to her home she walked straight into the back yard into her garden, roses and hibiscus bloomed and glowed in the night for her. She picked a single rose and sat among her planted friends, she kissed the rose and let her mind wander as she often did. She kissed the rose over and over again only to be cut my a jealous thorn, she cried softly thinking that's how it always is. She gives her love and understanding to be cut deeply and left bleeding, she doesn't blame Flippy or even Berry but she was his first love, they had plans together she wouldn't take that from him.
Flaky... A small voice broke throughher thoughts and Flaky looked up into the garden a tall, proud looking red porcupine stood before her. This porcupine's eyes glowed red like evil but they were warm and kind as was the jagged toothed smile behind kind lips.
"Yes?" Flaky asked, the figure knelt beside her.
Would you like to blow off a little steam? The figure asked brushing hair out Flaky's face and cupping it. Flaky looked down at the ground defeated.
"I don't want to become a monster." She whimpered, the figure kissed her forehead then both her eyes.
I'm not a monster I promise you. I'm you, a different you we could never kill the innocent, I'm your anguish, your fear, you basic animal instincts. We can go out into the forest and sing and dance and be wild and come back renewed. The pain will remain but it will be numb for a while. Flaky looked up at the figure and smiled at what offered her and cried, the figure nuzzled their foreheads together.
Pretty girls don't cry, look up at me and I'll make it feel better until morning.
Flaky hesitated but looked into the wise red porcupine's eyes, they shone with honesty, the figure smiled and bent to kiss Flaky.
The spell has begun,
Ne'er shall we run,
With you here I shall remain,
To carry you over rivers of pain.
No glue will hold,
A shattered soul,
Young or old,
Ne'er silver nor gold,
The heart of Flakes shall become bold.
Flippy stood there, his world had been turned up-side down his lost love Berry was alive and in town and with Shady. The thought made him freeze and clenched the file angrily.
That bastard has Berry when I get my hands on him I'm going to wring his neck dry. Flippy thought angrily waiting for Evil to reply flippy was lost in anger.
Evil are you up for a little hunt? Flippy smirked.
Ass.
Yeah I know let's go get him. Flippy agreed walking in no general direction pissed.
No YOU are the ass. The dick. The jerk. The jackass. The god damned ass-hat. I'd ruin your life but you're doing damn well by yourself. Evil spat Flippy stopped.
What the hell are you talking about?
Look around, bitch, what's missing? Evil cursed, Flippy looked around and found no shivering little red porcupine, she was just behind him.
Yeah she was then she saw what was going on and read you like a fucking book, you don't deserve her. Flippy began to looked frantically.
No! I-it was a moment of weakness she'll understand, I know she will. I know her. I love her! Flippy screamed getting no reply from Evil, he ran to Flaky's house and found her crouched in her bad yard rocking back and forth and staring into space as though she was in deep conversation with somebody. She closed her eyes and her body shook and her quills stood on end, her head flipped up and blood red eyes glowed. She stood up and almost seemed taller she hummed to herself and jumped an almost impossible height only to land on a tree branch as notes flowed out of her body. Flippy watched her gracefully go insane as she spun on the branch and ripped it's bark to confetti.
Listen oh listen nature alike,
Betrayal has spoken,
And tainted the night.
Carry me swiftly like leaves on a breeze
Grant this soul peace and utter relief.
She was dancing out into the forest with her eyes shut via the trees and the forest moved with her, Flippy followed at a safe pace, feeling a little dizzy.
We'll fly together
We'll die forever
To be healed by bod
But by soul ne'er not
What what has she done,
Has she sinned? Lied?
Ever stolen?
Grief followers her,
Like a lost baby,
She prays and she prays just maybe,
Maybe.
The light will seep through,
And recede from her soul,
The Darkness that it subdued,
And tainted the whole.
Flippy felt the weight of the words choking him...literally...something in the melody was twisted and brought physical pain onto listeners. Her insane laughter chime as she sung loudly and drowned his mind.
Flakes is reborn!
She'll see to His end,
In this chipper town,
None shall call him a friend.
Bind him!
Break him!
Eyes pleading for blood!
Tipping my hat,
Welcoming the flood!
Listen and be a witness
Nature alike!
I'm am deaths' kiss!
And the arch-enemy of spite!
So go! Go!
Be my mystical aids!
Fizzle away before Sun
Would raise!
Too bright! Too forgiving!
But ne'er anymore!
I promise you this and
Something more.
I'll bring you his blood.
Ne'er to come back-
Only to pour!
With each verse Flippy felt himself being choked by the insane porcupine's song, he fell to his knees and saw her swaying in the trees above him while he slowly passed out.
Flaky woke up at the top of a tree with the sun beaming in her eyes, her muscles were sore but her spirit felt oddly lifted just a little. Her eyes felt tired as she looked at where she was, a deep 'Oh yeah.' told her she was on-top Disco Bears house, she body was too tired to move so she just stayed there and listened to him play his disco music. Suddenly she heard laughing and watched Disco Bear walk out of his house hand-in-hand with Foxy, the new yellow fox that moved in the other day. They laughed and walked out towards town, Foxy hummed a tune while Disco Bear spun her and dipped her for a kiss.
"Jammin'." She whispered as they grooved on, Flaky looked at them with envy at first but then settled for being nothing again. She rolled out of the tree and landed on the ground with a thud. On her walk through town to her house she saw Cuddles pushing Giggles on a swing-set, Petunia was feeding Handy in the park, and Lifty, Nini, Shifty, and Mimi were robbing a bank. Flaky hung her head and walked on, she began to cry and ignored everyone that asked her what was wrong. She went home and walked inside without closing the door, she sighed one eye blazed red from insanity while the other burned red from tears.
"Close the stupid door Shady and don't smoke in my house." She said blankly, Shady stepped out from behind the door and closed it.
"Aww Flakes you ruined my surprise appearance." He pouted snuffing out the cigarette on her carpet.
~End~
Yeesh sorry it took so long guys I had writers' block from holy hell, anyway yeah Shady's appearance in her house was predicted I know but gawd I had to do it.
Shady: Way to go cliché writer.
Me: I will fucking kill you, I am your God you better praise me bitch. _
Shady: I'll take my chances.
Me: Why do I always back and forth with you!
Flippy: Fine they why'd you make me seem like a total douche!
Me: Shady...let us finish our conversation!
*Evil and Flippy beat me up*
Evil: Why are you so mean to Flaky! D
Me: The story needs a plot! Forgive me! D;
