AN: Heyo! So I'm sorry to say that I decided to end this story here... :( Last chappy for Words Unspoken! Definitely going to make third story for it, though. I mean, with the ending I have planned I kinda have no choice! But Before I continue with Ginger and Mem's story, I'm probably going to take a break from it. You know, brainstorm some epically awesome ideas, work on my Curiosity fanfic, start that new one I told you about, and possibly update my Adventure Time fanfic finally! So, in conclusion, I really hope you like this last chapter! :D
Chapter 28: U Mad, Bro?
This isn't funny anymore. And it's as far from cool as physically possible. There's no way she killed Lord Death, and there's definitely no way she has any demon powers or whatever. I need to ask that witch kid some questions, as well as Stein.
Ginger's off at training, I believe. Which means Stein should be observing her. So I guess I should start there.
"Hey! Professor!" I say, bursting through the door to the observatory room in between the hall and the training room. Stein doesn't take his eyes away from Ginger, who's twirling the arrow around and giggling something fierce.
"Oh, hey Soul. What do you need, I'm a bit busy." He mutters, scribbling something down on his clipboard.
"What do you think I need? I want to know why you haven't done anything about Ginger! She's obviously gone insane, and you're acting like everything's normal!" I say in a loud voice. Stein turns to me in his rolly chair and clicks the end of his pen.
"Because it is. Remember when Ginger got hit by Black Star's wavelength? When it hit her in the area where her patch was, her brain activity was altered slightly. It took a while for her to realize it, but that combined with the trauma she went through when she was kidnapped by the Uprising was too much for her, and she just snapped." He explains.
I glance over at Ginger, who's now giggling while while Mem transforms back to her human form and scolds her. After Ginger says something in between her laughing, Mem smacks her hand to her forehead and says something else, causing Ginger to laugh even harder.
"So what you're saying is Ginger isn't mad?" I suggest. He shakes his head. "No, she's totally lost her mind." He replies, following my glance to watch Mem shake Ginger back and forth by her shoulders while screaming her head off. Luckily, these walls are sound-proof.
"Then why aren't you doing anything? Why should it matter how she lost it when she's acting like a whole different person?!" I say, turning back to Stein. He adjusts his glasses.
"I'm not doing anything because I've never seen anything like this before. There's something else that caused her to lose it, but I can't figure it out. Right now I'm just watching and waiting for something interesting to happen." He says. I clench my fists and groan in frustration.
"I can't believe this!" I exclaim before storming out of the room and back out into the hall. I head straight for the Dispensary, where Sarith is being kept. I burst through the door and search the room for Sarith. I find him in the third cot from the back, with no one else in the room.
"You!" I shout, storming over to him without bothering to close the door. I grab him by his shirt collar and yank him upwards. "Hey! What are you doing?" He complains, but I ignore him.
"What did you do to Ginger?!" I yell. He picks his head up so he's facing me. "What do you mean? I didn't do anything!" He says. I roll my eyes. "Yeah, right! Ever since she's been coming to talk to you she's been acting crazy! What happened, what did you do?!" I repeat. He blinks.
"I know she's been acting like this, but it's not because of me. She-"
"You expect me to believe that?!" I shout. He looks annoyed. "Yes, no if you would let me explain you might have a reason to." He says. I don't reply, so he moves on.
"I've been noticing Ginger being a little off lately as well. As you know, I am half witch, so I have my various powers. I believe Ginger told you about some powers of her own, as well as little person in her head, am I correct?" He says. I nod, releasing my grip on his shirt a little. But only a little. "Yeah, and she had these weird cat ears too." I say.
"Fox ears. Cats aren't orange." He says. "Yeah, whatever! Just get to the point!" I say. He sighs. "Only if you release me." He says, letting his head fall back. I growl and let him go. He bounces on the cot a bit before sitting up and dusting himself off.
"Thanks. What Ginger said was true. This 'little person' she speaks of is named Kana. Mirielle, the leader of the Uprising, put a lost soul inside Ginger's body for the sake of controlling her when she didn't obey. Kana has the ability to control Gingers thoughts and actions. Do you remember when the academy burnt down?" He asks. I nod and leans against the railing at the end of his bed.
"It was Kana who was responsible. She took full control of Ginger, leaving her unaware of what was going on around her. SHe then used the powers Ginger inherited form her father to burn the academy down, trapping the reaper inside. When Kana, being only a little girl at the time of her death, confessed to Ginger what she had done. Because of this, Ginger was lead to the idea that since her body and powers were used to destroy the reaper and the academy, she was the one to kill him. This lead her to start slipping, and when that muscly kid hit her with his wavelength in her patch it was too much and she lost it completely." He explains. It takes a while for all of this to sink in.
"Why didn't she tell me about something like this?! She kept this all a secret the whole time?!" I say, balling up some of my hair in my fists. "Actually, she did tell you. But it wasn't by her choice, the madness caused her to blurt it all out to whoever would listen. I believe you're the only one she actually told she killed the reaper." Sarith pipes up.
"But she should have told me sooner!" I say. Sarith crosses his legs and holds on to his ankles. "Put yourself in her position. If you'd convinced yourself that you're the reason the whole of the DWMA excepting Lord Death was forced underground and their leader killed by you, plus you had these strange powers and a person trapped inside your head, would you want to tell anyone?" He points out.
"Yes!" I say like it's obvious. He stares at me. "Would you really?" He continues. I'm about to respond with the same answer when I start to think. Would I? I mean, it is kind of a big deal.
"No, I guess I wouldn't..." I mutter, reluctant to agree with anything this kid says. He nods. "You see? The guilt of knowing that her own hands were the ones to kill Lord Death was enough to push her over the edge." He says.
"Yeah, I get it... sorry for blaming you..." I mutter quietly. I'm start to head for the door.
"But that's not all." Sarith says, stopping me from turning the doorknob. I turn back to him. "What is it?" I ask. He stares at me. "I was going to tell Ginger, but I don't think it would matter much to her, not with the state she's in now." He says. I wait.
"Like I said earlier, I have powers, being half witch and all. One of those is the ability to see the future." He says, looking down at his lap. I start to get annoyed. "Just spit it out already." I say. He swallows.
"The Uprising. They're coming." He says, his blues eyes looking back up at me.
AN: Yes! I know! Major cliffhanger especially since this is the end of the story! I'm sorry, don't hate me, but I had to put that in! Cliffies are my specialty! Muahaha! Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this story, cause I sure did! Read and review, plzz!
Byee!
