Hello again, I know it's been 2 months and I should be updating "War on The Race Track"
But…life has been rough…I won't specify what happened because doing so would probably bring me to tears again…let's leave it at 3 days after I last updated "War On The Race Track" something happen in my immediate family and to one of my best friends…all in the same hour in fact…and the past 2 months have been the worst period of time in my life….I've been about borderline 55 out of a 100 for a while…the only time I felt better was on Canada day…even then it was just for a few hours before the pain came back…what happened all but killed my mood to write and do much of anything in fact…it was just a short while ago that my mood semi-returned
What your all about to read is the culmination of 2 weeks of work…I know some of you might think that so and so could've written more in about half the time…but keep in mind that I haven't been my normal self for a while and my mood for writing only semi returned… I worked on and off again for the past 2 weeks…mostly whenever I really got in the mood…I'm sorry but I could never really sit down for a duration of time and write with how I was feeling
Those who wish to know what happened can PM me and I'll try to suck it up and explain more
I just can't bring myself to talk about it here
Now I have 2 very important announcements
I don't know why it's taken me this long but over the course of the following days I'll be updating/editing every chapter I've written in every story so far, nothing much besides spelling mistakes except for chapter 5 of "When Hunters Become the Prey" I'll be adding an extra actions and dialogue at the end of it
Hopefully by the time most of you read this I will have started the next chapter of "War on The Race Track" I won't give a date for it's update, due to the fact that college is starting up again soon and as I said I haven't been myself for a while but I am hoping to get it out soon…
Where we left off
Rancis ran out of places to run from Crumbelina
Gloyd, Taffyta, Sticky, Minty and Torvald found themselves in a bad situation
How will this end?
Will we have our first permanent death?
Will another slaughter take place?
Who will escape and survive the night?
And who won't make it to the light of day?
Time to find out isn't it?
Ch.7 Night 5 Part 2: The Nightmare Is Only Beginning
(Where we left off)
Rancis would take a few steps backwards trembling in fear as Crumbelina would take a step towards him.
"C-C-Crumbelina…d-d-don't d-d-do t-th-this…" He'd take a step in the swamp.
"Your not leaving here alive…either I'm killing you…or Vanellope is…"
"What do you mean?" Rancis would ask.
"I heard her glitch nearby…so she's definitely watching us…which doesn't give me much time…"
"T-t-to d-d-do w-what?"
Crumbelina would pull out a large butcher knife out of her jacket. "You know damn well what…"
Rancis would take a step further into the swamp trembling. "Crumbs…I'm begging you…please…"
Crumbelina would grab him by the throat and lift him in the air.
"Don't you care call me that! The only ones who call me that are Minty, Snowanna and Candlehead!"
"I-I-I'm sorry…"
"Oh not as sorry as I'm about to make you feel…" Crumbelina would tighten her grip. "You are going to suffer…" She'd pull him out of the swamp and drag him back towards his kart.
"Damn…maybe I shouldn't intervene…" Vanellope would mutter from behind a tree about 5 feet away.
(Meanwhile)
A shot would ring out and Gloyd would collapse a large bullet hole in his chest.
Minty, Torvald, Sticky and Taffyta would gasp and turn and face in his direction as Jubileena and Citrusella would walk in and over his slowly dying body.
"Hey girls…really thought you'd get away like that?" Jubileena would ask.
The lock on the door leading to the tunnels would be shot off and Adorabeezle would walk in Nougetsia closely behind.
"Hands up…turn around and lean against the wall…"
Sticky, Torvald and Taffyta would comply as Minty would just stand there.
"Take the fucking shot…I dare you…"
Adorabeezle's eyes would narrow and she'd shoot her in the foot.
"Ow mod damn it!" Minty would look at her foot then up at Adorabeezle.
"Next one will be in the chest so you can bleed out like Gloyd over there…" She'd point to Gloyd who'd be laying behind her.
"Assholes…" Minty would mutter and lean against the wall with her hands high in the air.
Adorabeezle would check her phone. "Princess wants us to wait…"
Jubileena would look at her. "Will Gloyd will last that long?"
Adorabeezle would glance at Gloyd. "He should…she said to wait a minute or 2…she wants to kill a certain someone…herself…and do it rather slowly…"
Taffyta would gulp.
Adorabeezle, Jubileena, Nougetsia and Citrusella would chuckle.
"And she knows who she is…" Citrusella would state as Nougetsia would fire a shot above them.
"Not a peep out of you understand?"
The 4 racers would nod Sticky trembling in fear.
(Meanwhile)
Candlehead would roam around the forest nervously.
"This place is scary at night…"
Snowanna would appear causing her to shriek.
"YOU SCARED ME!"
Snowanna would cover her mouth. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean too…but it's no reason to get us both killed…" She'd lick her fingers and put out Candlehead's candle. "Sorry but that thing just makes you visible…"
"B-b-b-b-but I n-need it…"
"Look…don't get scared…-she'd take her hand-…I'm going to lead you out of here and we can hide out somewhere or find Crumbs ok?"
"O-okay…"
They'd both walk back towards the village.
(Back with Rancis and Crumbelina)
She'd tie his wrists to his kart. "To keep you from escaping…"
She'd walk over to her kart and begin searching through it while Vanellope would watch curiously.
"Crumbelina…if you let me go…I'll protect you if Vanellope goes after you…I promise…"
"Your word doesn't mean shit to me Rancis…" Crumbelina would pull out a crowbar and would walk towards him the crowbar scraping against the ground.
Rancis would pull at his restraints. "Please!"
Crumbelina would slam the crowbar down hard against both his knee caps.
Rancis would scream in pain as Crumbelina would kneel down in front of him.
"Tell me…how does that feel?" Crumbelina would ask.
"Painful…" Rancis would respond tears in his eyes.
"That doesn't even scratch the surface on how I'm feeling for having to abandon the girl I love to her death…all because you were scared you wouldn't survive 10 more minutes…"
"I didn't mean too…"
She'd hit his left shoulder hard. "Stop lying to me…"
"I'm not!"
Crumbelina would hit him across the head with it. "Say what you want…you can take it to your grave…"
She'd hit his lower left arm hard several times breaking his Radius bone and Ulna bone.
Rancis would scream as some pieces of the bones would fracture the surface of his skin.
Crumbelina would hold her crowbar. "Now tell me…which hurts more…-she'd hit his elbow-…A...-she'd hit him the head-…or B?"
"Both…" Rancis would reply sobbingly.
"Pick one…" She'd hit him again.
"…B…" Rancis would reply.
"Ok…" She'd throw her crowbar away and pull out her knife.
"Now let's give you a nice little smile…" She'd cut near his lips in an upwards arc making a little smile on his face.
Rancis would scream as Vanellope would silently grab the discarded crowbar.
"Meh fuck it…I'm just in a slashing mood…" Crumbelina would state as she'd slash him several times in the chest a few times on his legs and would slash his right cheek open.
Rancis would cry in pain. "No more…please…no more…"
Crumbelina would kneel down and look at him dead in the eyes. "I hope Vanellope tortures you further…" She'd stab him twice in the chest. "That's for the 2 times Vanellope stab Candlehead last night…"
She'd stand as Rancis would cough up blood.
"Goodbye Rancis…the only thing I'll miss about you is how you choked every single lead you ever had…"
She'd turn to leave as Rancis would plea one last time. "Please…I can help you…"
"You can help me…with your death…" She'd hop in her kart and takeoff as Rancis would watch her leave.
"No…" Vanellope would glitch in front of him and he'd look down and sob.
"You just couldn't get it done…couldn't survive…and in your attempts you made enemies out of friends…" She'd look at her sword.
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry for bullying you…I'm sorry for pushing you to the point you tried to commit suicide…I'm sorry for everything…if killing me will help you heal…then just go right ahead…I don't care anymore…" Rancis would sob having given up all hope.
Vanellope would hold her sword up. "It's not over for you yet Flugs…" She'd swing down.
"Rancis dead…permanently…" Sour Bill would announce on the intercoms set up throughout the game.
Torvald, Minty, Sticky and Taffyta would look down as Gloyd would keep both his hands pressed against his wound.
"Guess that's what she was doing…must have done something big for him…" Citrusella would state.
"That's my best guess…" Adorabeezle would respond.
Candlehead and Snowanna would reach the village. "Poor Rancis…" Candlehead would sob.
"He's in a better place now Candles…" Snowanna would give her a comforting hug as Crumbelina would pull up.
"What in the literal fuck are you doing driving that thing?!" Snowanna would shout while trying to keep it at a whisper.
"Trying to lead Vanellope away from the forest the fuck are you 2 doing here?" Crumbelina would ask.
"You weren't responsible for his death, were you?" Candlehead would ask looking at her.
"Of course not…I wanted to hurt the fucker…but in the end I felt sorry…I pulled him out of Taffy Swamp…but he ran the fuck off claiming I was just gonna spoon feed him to some sharks…"
Snowanna and Candlehead would buy the lie.
"Well back in the forest we go…" Snowanna would state and all 3 would rush back into the forest.
"Promises made…promises kept…" Crumbelina would tell herself.
(2 minutes later)
Vanellope would walk down the basement steps of Gloyd's hideout.
"She better be alive down there…"
"She is indeed Princess…Gloyd however…is on his last breaths…" Nougetsia would look at Gloyd who'd be slowly fading on the floor.
"Still…got…a…trick…up…my…sleeve…" His remote would slide out of his sleeve and he'd press a but as a bunch of dirt and dust would drop from the ceiling.
"…Run…"
Taffyta would go to run only to be knocked to the ground by Adorabeezle as Torvald, Minty and Sticky would run by into the tunnel.
"Keep going!" Torvald would hold the door closed as one of the others would try to pry it open.
Sticky would turn around. "Torvald!"
Minty would grab her. "Common she's buying us time!" Minty would drag her off as Vanellope's sword would go through the door and cleanly through Torvald's throat.
"Sleep tight Batterbutter…" Vanellope would say in her eerily sweet voice as Torvald would collapse to the ground dead.
"Torvald dead…she's now at 2…" Sour Bill would announce.
Sticky would sob as Minty would drag her through the tunnels.
Vanellope would pull the sword out of the door and wipe the blood off of it with a cloth.
She'd glance at Gloyd's body.
"Gloyd dead…he's now at 2…" Sour Bill would announce.
"Strange…about to succumb yet still had the strength to do that…"
She'd look at Taffyta being held down by Adorabeezle and Jubileena. "Get off her…I want you 4 to find the rest…leave me alone with her…"
Adorabeezle, Jubileena, Nougetsia and Citrusella would nod and leave.
Taffyta would back away towards the wall as Vanellope would slowly approach her clutching her sword tight.
"I've waited 15 long years for this…-she'd put her sword in a sheath on her back and grab the crowbar she took from Crumbelina-…what happened on the second night was just a warm up…"
Taffyta would back into the wall. "Vanellope…we can talk about this…."
Vanellope would glare at her. "There is nothing to talk about!" She'd hit the side of her head almost cracking Taffyta's skull causing her to fall the ground.
Vanellope would kick her hard in the face breaking her nose. "15 years…15 years Taffyta! 15 years you made my life absolute hell!"
She'd hit her several times in the ribs. "You never gave me a chance!"
She'd smash her jaw to bits. "You wanted me to die just for being a glitch!"
She'd break one of her kneecaps. "You saw to it personally that my life was utter hell!"
She'd hit both her legs several times before letting up.
She'd look at Taffyta slumped on the floor crying in pain.
"Pathetic…" She'd glare at her as mascara would run down Taffyta's face.
"You thought you were the cream of the crop…and you did everything to make sure everyone saw you as that…from manipulating Candlehead to refer to you as Queen of the track…to bullying Rancis…to starting heated rivalries with pretty much everyone…sure everyone respected you since you were one of the top racers…but you were also the most universally hated…"
Taffyta would look up at her.
"In case you didn't know the only ones that actually held you in high opinion were Gloyd and Candlehead…since one was your boyfriend and the other was your manipulated BFF…everyone else despised you…they only followed you to bully me because Turbo told them I was a threat and needed to be dealt with…the only thing any of them wanted to have in common with you was hatred for me…and honestly…I can't fucking blame them…"
She'd hit Taffyta again with the crowbar.
Tears would stream down Taffyta's face.
Vanellope would stop and look down at Taffyta's badly beaten body. "That's not even close to what you deserve…" She'd grab her shoulder and glitch them to the top of the mountain.
She'd toss her face first in the snow. "As you can see it's cold…I'm about to make it worse…"
She'd glitch away and glitch back with a bucket of cold water. "Again, this isn't even close to what you deserve…" She'd dump it all on Taffyta and would back away. "Enjoy freezing to death bitch…"
Taffyta would reach out to her but Vanellope would quickly smash her arm with her crowbar.
Taffyta would look up at her as an evil grin would find it's way onto Vanellope's face. "You may deserve worse…but this is still enjoyable…besides…with what I have planned for tomorrow…I'll be happy…"
(Meanwhile)
Minty would open a hatch and climb out of the tunnels Sticky following close behind her.
"Where too?" Sticky would ask nervously.
"Let's just head back to the village…-she'd look at the sun beginning to rise-…we should reach it as the game ends…"
A shot would ring over their heads.
"On second thought…RUN!" Minty would shout and take off sprinting Sticky following close behind.
(Not too far away)
Crumbelina would look at Candlehead and Snowanna. "We're heading back to the village…"
"Couldn't agree more…" Snowanna would respond.
"Ok…" Candlehead would respond.
All 3 would take off for the village
(Less than 2 minutes later)
They'd run into Minty and Sticky.
All 5 would fall to the ground.
"Watch where your going for fuck sake!" Minty would rub her forehead.
"You got a hard head Minty…you shouldn't be worried…" Snowanna would stand up.
"Don't fucking start with me…"
"Sorry…"
Sticky would sit up. "I suppose you 3 were safe all night?"
"Yea…didn't see a single one of them all night…" Crumbelina would respond.
"Thank us later…they were holding us at gun point…"
"Oh…"
(Meanwhile)
Vanellope would watch Taffyta freeze to death as the sun would rise.
"Taffyta dead…she's at 3…" Sour Bill would announce.
Vanellope smash her with her crowbar one last time. "Just for good measure…"
She'd call her 4 hunters. "Back to the castle girls…" She'd hang up and glitch away.
(A few minutes later)
Everyone would be in the village when Taffyta, Gloyd, Torvald and Swizzle would respawn.
"What the heck?" Crumbelina would ask as Sticky would rush over and bear hug Torvald.
Vanellope would suddenly speak on the intercom. "Congratulations…you all survived 5 nights…but there will be no more hunts…there's something special tonight…"
"W-w-what might that be?" Candlehead would ask.
"Come to the courtyard at 7:00 sharp tonight…those who don't come…will be punished…"
Most of the racers would gulp.
Vanellope would chuckle. "See you all then…" The intercoms would suddenly disappear.
Everyone would suddenly turn their gaze to Crumbelina.
"What?" She'd ask.
"You were chasing Rancis…seeing how he died…I'm wondering weather or not you had something to do with it…" Torvald would respond.
"Look like I told Snowanna and Candlehead…I chased after him yes…he ran into the swamp…he got stuck…I helped him out since I heard Vanellope nearby…he took off saying I was just gonna spoon feed him to sharks…"
"That all?"
"Yes, he took off and I heard Vanellope glitch after him…"
Torvald's eyes would narrow. "Ok…"
She'd leave for her home.
"See you guys later I guess…" Swizzle would walk away looking at the ground.
The others would depart as Crumbelina would hold Candlehead's hand.
"I'm sorry Rancis didn't make it…but we did…that's what matters Candles…."
Candlehead would nod. "I'm going to miss him…" She'd sob.
Crumbelina would rub Candlehead's back feeling a little regretful. "Common…we should rest up for tonight…"
Candlehead would nod and Crumbelina would lead her to her house.
"Don't start regretting your decision…that bastard deserved it…" She'd tell herself.
(that night)
All the racers would walk into the courtyard cautiously and nervously.
"It's 7…like she asked…" Sticky would look around trembling.
A giant blue tainted wall would suddenly form around them as Vanellope would walk out of hiding chuckling.
"Yes…I'm glad you all came…"
"Why?" Minty would ask.
"Or else…-she'd hold up the severed head of Rancis-…you would have joined him and missed a shot at redemption…"
"Redemption?" Crumbelina would ask.
"Yes…those of you who survive this final game…will earn a second chance…those who don't…-she'd chuckle-…you don't want to know…"
"What is the game?" Gloyd would cross his arms.
"Let me show you…" Vanellope would press a button on her phone and the racers would pass out.
(A short time later)
They'd awaken in a black and white slightly distorted version of Sugar Rush.
"What in the fuck?" Taffyta would look around.
A large doorway would appear in front of them and they'd see Vanellope on the other side.
"The reason I waited 2 weeks…and these past 5 days…was due to this needing some much time to complete…Sour Bill worked for days on end to make this world possible…so without further ado…welcome…to my version…of Hell…"
The racers would look around them as Vanellope would continue.
"Your goal is simple…survive 24 hours…then find one of these doorways…-she'd gesture to the one they'd be looking at-…to win…"
"Survive what?" Swizzle would ask.
"Simple…-she'd point to her left where they'd see 3 zombie lollipops come out of the ground-…there are 3 kinds you must avoid…crawlers…name implies how they move around…walkers…classic slow moving in a horde kind…and the runners…there are a few…and I'm telling you now…they can outrun you…" She'd chuckle at the horrified expression on each racers face.
"What do they do?" Candlehead would ask.
Vanellope would look at Gloyd. "Explain what zombies do Gloyd…"
"Well…they kill and/or eat and/or infect anything they slash, bite and in some stupid movies just touch…"
Everyone except Gloyd and Vanellope would gulp.
"There are weapons and food scattered across the world…and don't go thinking you can board up your house and be safe…noise attracts them…and I'll be giving locations away whenever I feel like it…so if you plan on hunkering down…prepare for one hell of a fight…"
"Of course…" Snowanna would state.
"Also…there is a phantom of you know who…"
The racers would glance at her.
"Rancis?" They'd ask in unison.
An evil grin would form on Vanellope's face. "Indeed…with one goal…kill/turn as many of you as possible…"
A blood curling shriek would cause them all to jump.
"Hehehe…here he is…" Vanellope's grin would widen.
He'd suddenly appear in a cloud of smoke.
The racers would look at him appalled by what they would see.
His clothes would be ripped, his once beautiful hair would be a mess, his hands would have long claw like fingers with very sharp nails, he'd be completely colored grey except for his eyes which would be crimson red.
"Your all dying with me…" He'd state in a demonic voice.
"Good luck guys…you have a 1-minute grace period…" Vanellope would state as Rancis would disappear. "I suggest you play wisely…"
The racers would runaway as she'd laugh evilly and begin counting down. "59…58…57…56…55…"
Crumbelina, Candlehead, Snowanna and Swizzle would go to Swizzle house as the rest would follow Gloyd.
Swizzle would barricade his door and go to the basement. "I knew stacking up on these would come in handy…" He'd remove a book shelf revealing a few Candy shot guns and revolvers.
Gloyd would go to his main item storage.
"Cherry Bombs…check…Sweet Seekers check…also…" He'd press a button and the wall would move revealing a secret tunnel.
"When did you plan on telling us about this one Gloyd?" Taffyta would ask.
"Didn't intend to…this was for emergencies only…" He'd walk down the tunnel everyone following closely behind as Vanellope would finish her countdown.
"Times up…good luck everyone…your time starts...now…"
They'd hear Rancis shriek again as zombie lollipops would sprout out all over the place as Candlehead would watch from Swizzle's living room window.
"Mod help us all…" Is all she'd say.
End Chapter 7
I hope you enjoyed this chapter
So, the everyone except Rancis survived 5 nights of what they thought was hell
How will they survive a hell morphed into Vanellope's twisted imagine?
Who will earn a second shot at life?
And who life ends in a gruesome death?
I'll leave you all guessing
Stay tuned
I'm sorry that I haven't updated anything but like I said I hit a very rough patch
I'm hoping to get the next chapter of "War on The Race Track" out at some point in the near future
So, I think that's everything and all I have to say is this
See you all in the next chapter!
