Clemson's PoV
No matter what I did or said, Sara kept to her self and avoided eye contact. It was like I was meeting her for the first time again, only she wasn't leaving every time I turned. It upset and irritated me. Before we were close. Now...
It was like she wanted nothing to do with me.
After getting off the subway and entering the streets, I made sure to stay close to her. I even glared at anyone we passed, silently telling them to back off.
Soon enough, a little too soon, we arrived at Hoboken, "Okay here we are. Wanna head in?"
She stayed silent for a moment, her expression blank.
"Nah," She finally spoke, "Imma head back for New York."
I stared in disbelief as she started walking away, "W-wait. I thought you were gonna stay for the night."
"Yeah... I kinda thought it over on the way. The Zoo is full of villains and even if one of them isn't, I doubt I'll be welcomed. I still got some cash, so I'll just rent a room at a motel or something."
"What was the point of coming all the way over then?"
"So you wouldn't be lonely. Didn't want ya to feel completely forgotten. Besides, it's the least I could do after having you wait for me."
"Well it's not safe to be out and about in Hoboken with robberies and all that. And that's during the day, it'll be worse for you at night."
A smirk crossed her face, "Don't worry. I'm a tough girl, I can look out for myself. Plus," She pulled out a small red item, "I got my trusty pocket knife with me. Believe me Clemson, no one is gonna wanna mess with this girl."
Before I could say one more thing, Sara walked away. I wanted to ran after her, but something told me she didn't want me around. It hurt.
"Clemson."
I jumped out of my skin at the sound of my own name. I twist around, immediately alert, but calmed down when I saw it was only Hans. He was still in his human form.
"Hans! Don't do that! You know how I feel about being snuck up on."
"Sorry. Is that girl with you?"
"She just walking away," I narrowed my eyes, "Why?"
"I just wanna have a talk with her."
There was a seriousness in his voice. I didn't like it when he sounded serious, it took away the humorous tone he always has. Not to mention his stern expression. It almost scared me.
I was hesitant to tell him, but I gave in, "She went that way."
Automatically he sped toward the same direction. I was worried what he was up to. He wasn't gonna hurt her, was he? No. Hans doesn't hurt girls. That's the reason why it took him forever to tell Ma to leave. She did eventually... Well, according to him.
I sulked into the Zoo. Something wasn't right. There had to be something that effected Sara's weird behavior. And something was definitely something up with Hans. He didn't normally act this serious, at least not like this.
I hope everything turns out fine after this revenge plot, whether we succeed or not.
From the corner of my eye, I saw a certain female puffin walking out of the boa constrictor habitat. The two shared a passionate kiss before saying good night. I couldn't help but feel jealous.
They were so happy and in love.
I looked at the ground as my vision began to blur. The jealousy slowly started turning into anger. My fist clenched as I gritted my teeth.
If Sara didn't want to be with me, than it's her loss.
Hans PoV
I don't know why, but the way that girl has been acting toward Clemson really irked me. He was a villain being nice for Pete's sake! And she was shrugging him off like nothing!
He told us that she was a nice and sweet girl, one who cared for everyone. But the way she's been acting, I'm having doubts about her. I don't even trust her.
Up ahead I could see her walking. I started jogging to catch up with her. She must've heard me cuz she turned around just when I reached her.
We stood in silence. I glared at her while she stared blankly.
"Hey Hans," She finally spoke, but her expression didn't waver, "What brings you out here?"
"I wanna talk about your behavior lately."
"What behavior? I'm just being myself."
"It doesn't seem like it to me. Clemson described you entirely different, nothing like how you are now."
She began to chuckle, "So are you trying to put me in my place or something? Yeah. The girl Clemson fell for is here, she's just... asleep you could say."
"So you're just going to push him away and act like the world belongs to you."
"Who ever said I thought that? You guys are villains, you should understand in some way."
By now I'm starting to get angry. This girl was really pushing her luck, "I don't know what your problem is, but let me give you some advice. You don't want to mess with us and if I were you, I'd clean up my act."
She scoffed, "You don't even know half the stuff I go through."
"Don't change the subject!"
"I'm not. I'm just saying that what I've gone through mentally, you won't even understand if you did know. No one ever did. I've kept everything inside for too long, there's no way I'm going back!"
She stopped abruptly and clutched her head. I could hear her muttering stop. For a split moment, I felt worried for her. Clemson said she always made certain actions that meant something. According to him, holding her head was the most common and meant something was wrong.
Suddenly she looked back up and I already saw something different. Her previous fierce demeanor was replaced with a nervous one, "I'm sorry Hans. I'll take your advice the best I can. Good night."
Hurriedly walking away, Sara seemed to sulking. Something wasn't right about her. I thought about her sudden change in attitude. I'd have to talk to Blowhole about this, you never know what could go wrong.
Red's PoV
Every time I saw her, this girl became more interesting.
Blowhole had installed cameras around Hoboken as to keep track of the others awhile back. Usually used to confirm if they were present or not. Right now, I had just viewed and heard the conversations between the three, mostly focusing on Hans and Sara.
I mused on whether this new girl had something special about her as like the other girls we know. DBL was a vampire, Ocean an assassin, Cartoongirl a sorceress, that magical Karen girl Hans told me about and many other girls most of us have met.
I took note of her changes when I first met her, how quickly she would shift from one emotion or attitude to another. It intrigued me. Normally I wouldn't take such an interest in a human, but this one attracted me. Nothing like that Clemson fellow, a way that made me want to know what made her tick. What set her off? Could it be controlled?
"You're still here? I thought you woulda gone back to Central Park by now," Cartoongirl came up next to me with a cup of tea in her paw.
I quickly thought up a lie, "I wanted to make sure all of the villains are where they should be."
"Suuuure," She rolled her eyes.
"How was the 'talk' with Blowhole?"
She smirked, "Lets just say he wouldn't even think sending me anywhere with water again. By the way, I checked on her like ya asked."
"What did you find?"
"She's got different auras. All different colors too. What were they again? Uh black, pink, green, purple, blue, orange, and red. It's weird. I don't think I've seen something like it before, if I have I don't remember."
This caught my attention. Different colored auras? "Don't auras usually change depending on the mood?"
"Yeah. But this one, it was a mixed one. The colors were present at the same time, some stronger than others. What are you thinking of Red?"
I stayed silent for a moment, "I'm not sure really. But I'm going to solve this puzzling girl someway or another. Even if it kills me."
"That dedicated huh?"
"Surprisingly... Yes."
My PoV
I rode the subway thinking about what Dark had said to Hans. Childish was the one who made me apologize and feel guilty.
Everything I told him I regretted. Dark never let out her feelings or thoughts in front of anyone. It was always kept secret. Mostly because I usually felt no one would care or that I was just bugging them with something they don't wanna hear.
But I didn't regret because of that feeling, no. I regret because he was only trying to warn me... And I had snapped at him.
"Don't tell me you're gonna start crying." Groaned an irritated Dark.
"I don't like yelling at others."
"He was getting in your nerves."
"No. He was getting on YOUR nerves, not mine."
"Doesn't matter, what's done is done."
It stayed silent for a moment.
"I hate you." I muttered.
She appeared sitting next to me smirking, "I know. But I'm the closest side you're connected with, which makes my job all the more fun."
Brainiac materialized and looked shyly at the ground, "You get upset with everyone."
Dark scowled, "It's what I do! I'm not her dark side for no reason! And you in particular tick me off!"
"But do you really think pinpointing him as a problem is going to help at all?"
Her eyes narrowed. Brainiac shielded herself with her book, whimpering slightly.
I sighed. The two haven't gotten along at all since school had started again.
"Trying lo-looking at it from a logical perspective," Brainiac muttered, "H-he didn't want to do it, he had no choice..."
"That may be your point of view," Dark growled, "But mine is entirely different form yours. He had a chance and he took advantage of us. He used and betrayed her."
"But he came back. He even proved that he loved her. You just refuse to see that there is someone who cares. Just like you have with her friends and family."
"A single kiss doesn't mean anything."
I've had enough, "Stop it. It's too late for you guys to bicker. Get back inside where you belong."
Brainiac, as obedient as she is, left on demand. As for Dark, she lingered a moment longer before disappearing.
Childish: It feels like this story gets more intense every chapter.
It's cause of Dark. She's the one who's practically controlling me.
Dark: Whatever.
Fangirl: I sad. No one even bothered guessing last chapter.
Childish: Oh how about we ask the readers a different question? Like... Who's your favorite side?
*shrugs* Alright. Well readers, which of these girls is your favorite and why? You don't have to answer if you don't want to. Special appearance by Cheycartoongirl8. Enjoy!
