Chapter 3 – A not so normal introduction
"Ugh! Tilly! Smudge! Angel! Get off! You're crushing my ribs!"
I stared in disbelief at my odd friend, watching as she lounged on the sofa, whining in protest at the dogs and cat that had perched themselves contently onto her back.
"Harpreet!?" I cried and said girl looked up with a grin.
"Oh hey Dani!" she chirped, giving me a cheek splitting grin that instantly reminded me of how much of an idiot she was.
"What's up?" Harpreet asked, completely oblivious to the 'are you serious?' glare that I was giving her.
"What's up?" I repeated, hoping that I'd heard her wrong; however the confused stare that followed the silence proved otherwise.
With a sigh I face palmed and said the only thing I could possibly have said at that moment.
"Harpreet, look around and tell me what you think is up"
With a nod the black-haired girl looked around at everyone present in the room and I found myself unconsciously doing the same.
From what Dark had said earlier I guessed that his 'companions' were also dark versions of youtubers so I tried to guess who they were.
The blonde zombie-boy whom I assumed was Pewdiedpie was sitting silently on the other side of the sofa, holding Misty in his arms and petting the surprised Chihuahua with a blank and stoic expression aimed in my direction.
I shivered at the emotionless stare and was quick to turn to the other boy who I had left such a charming impression on.
He was sat next on the arm of the sofa and glared daggers at me, and if looks could kill I'd be six foot under and beyond.
'That must be Yamibash' I thought, giving him an equally evil glare before re-meeting Harpreet's gaze.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH~" She drawed out as realisation crossed her features.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH" I mimicked before stomping up to her and whacking her across the back of the head, shooing off Smudge, Angel and Tilly in the process.
"OW! What was that for!?" she whined and I snarled.
"What was that for!? WHAT WAS THAT FOR!? Not only are you oblivious enough to bring these assholes here; but you're sitting with them as if they were Erica and Brittany or something when they could kill you at any second!" I fumed.
As I waited for her answer I attempted to calm myself down so that I didn't completely blow up in rage at her undoubtedly stupid remark.
"But they can't kill us"
AAAAAAANNNDDDD there it was.
Harpreet seemed to notice my aggravated and confused expression and brightened up.
"It's true; watch!" she exclaimed before turning to Yamibash.
"Wait-what-?!"
Before the poor man had any chance to react the onyx haired girl she grabbed his hand and quickly brought it to her face, where the tell-tale sign of a smack that was gonna leave a mark re-sounded around the room.
Moments later Yamibash was pushed away by some unknown force and began convulsing for a good minute as if he was being tasered.
When it finally came to an end a string of British cusses filled the room.
"Bloody fucking hell you fucking bell end!"
"Geez; someone has a potty mouth" I stated.
"What do you fucking expect? The bitch did that for no reason!" He snapped, glaring at me once again.
"I was trying to prove a point!" Harpreet defended.
"That makes no difference!" He retorted angrily.
I opened my mouth to break up the argument however someone beat me to it.
"Well I walked in at the right time"
I spun on my heel and once again looked up at a familiar smug looking man.
"You" I stated bluntly, narrowing my eyes at the red irises which held such arrogance and confidence.
"Yea; me" He replied, grinning even wider to the point where I thought his face was gonna crack in half with how wide he smiled.
"Took you long enough!" Yamibash growled, rising to his feet and crossing his arms with a huff.
"What the hell were you up to?"
Darkiplier waved a hand nonchalantly and walked over to the recliner chair by the window.
"Oh y'know; just had a snoop round our new house" He stated, plopping himself onto the furniture.
"By the way; quite the interesting stuff on your computer" He told me with a wink.
By the time the black haired male had made himself comfortable my jaw was practically hanging off of my face by my jaw-drop.
"What-!"
I stopped myself and re-played what he had previously said in the back of my mind.
"-wait; what do you mean 'our new house'?"
Dark quirked an eyebrow at me before looking over at Yami and Pewdied.
"You didn't tell her?" he asked.
"Well we didn't exactly have the chance to did we?" Yamibash retorted, looking at his blonde friend who simply nodded silently.
"Can someone just explain what the hell is going on?" I shouted exasperated and fed up with the overall madness of the situation.
A tense silence filled the air and for a brief moment I thought that I had said something wrong, however I relaxed when Dark sighed and leaned back.
"Fine then; sit down and we'll tell you everything" he said, with a slightly less happy tone than before.
With a nod I looked around the room for a spare seat, yet much to my dismay no-one seemed willing to move causing me to sigh under my breath.
As if picking up on my sigh Pewdiedpie scooted over and stopped stroking Misty in order to pat the now empty space.
'At least not all of them are bad' I thought with a more positive attitude.
'But that expression'
Shaking my head to rid myself of the thought I walked over to the empty space and sat down, casting the blonde a grateful smile before turning my attention back to Darkiplier, who cleared his throat.
"Well; I think a proper introduction is in order before I begin-"
"Oh so now you have manners" I grumbled, only to be ignored by the black haired demon.
"I'm Darkiplier; as you know-"
He cast me and Harpreet a flirty wink and we flipped him the bird.
"-The grumpy asshole over there is Yamibash-"
The brunette growled at us and clutched the bloody bat he picked up from god knows where; switching his glare from the bat and us.
Harpreet leaned over to me and whispered "How much do you think we can piss of this guy if we smile?"
I whispered back "I don't know; let's find out"
With those words we cast him the fakest 'friend smile' we'd ever done (which entailed the widest grin we could muster) and his brown eyes flared with hatred as he tightened his grip on the bat until his knuckles turned white.
"-And the silent zombie over there is Pewdiedpie"
The two of us stared at the boy who was still stroking my dog whilst his eyes remained glued to our souls.
Harpreet once again whispered to me.
"Don't move; maybe he'll get bored and look away"
I had to force myself not to break into laughter at her comment but she had a point; he was the creepiest out of the trio.
"Now; care to introduce yourselves?" Darkiplier asked.
"NO-""Sure!"
My eccentric friend spoke up before I had the chance to decline their offer.
"I'm Harpreet! And this is my friend Dani!" she exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.
When I refused to greet the three she sweat dropped and elbowed me in the side.
I refused to respond and instead looked at the black haired man lounging on the armchair with an expectant expression.
"Fine then; seeing as you asked SO nicely, I'll explain everything to you" Dark said with a sigh.
"As you can tell we're not from here-"
"Ain't that the truth" I muttered.
"Hey! Who's telling the story here?" He asked.
The silence that followed gave him the cue to continue.
"We're from what you would call an alternate dimension or reality, if you will; and in our world practically everyone is the opposite compared to their counterparts in this world, well as far as we know of"
He suddenly sighed and leaned back even more in his chair before continuing.
"And somehow we ended up in this world by doing god knows what and we're stuck here; so we figured we'd find somewhere to stay and that brought us to meeting your friend here-"
He pointed to Harpreet.
"-who was kind enough to lead us here, to our new home, for the time being of course."
With that he said no more and closed his eyes, almost as if he was going to sleep.
I however, had other ideas.
"So you think that just because of what happened to you that I'm going to let you stay here?" I asked, feeling my blood boiling as he opened his eyes and gave me a look that just screamed the fact that he doubted I was telling the truth.
"Uh…yeah?" Dark stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
It was then that I began to rant.
"OH HELL NO! NOT AFTER ALL THE SHIT YOU PUT ME THROUGH! YOU GUYS BREAK INTO MY HOUSE UNINVITED; THREATEN BOTH ME AND MY SISTER'S BEST FRIEND; AND BEAT THE EVERLIVING CRAP OUT OF THE BACK OF MY SKULL WHICH I'M SURE IS GONNA LEAVE A MARK! HELL IT'S CAKED IN MORE BLOOD THAN A FLOOR IN A HORROR MOVIE!"
I stopped my anger fuelled rant and took a few sharp breaths to regain my regular breathing pattern before giving each of the three men threatening glares.
"NO WAY."
An awkward silence filled the air quickly afterwards, and from the look that Harpreet gave me I felt my stomach swell with guilt.
"Told you we should've just killed her"
It was then that I regretted nothing.
I cast the evilest glare I could towards Yamibash and pointed at the bat he now held in his hands.
I was about to say something to go along with the glare but Harpreet cut me off and gripped my shoulder.
"We'll be back in a moment"
With that Harpreet pulled my out into the hallway by the back of my Hoodie and closed the door behind her.
The first thing she did was whack me across the head and while I hissed at the sudden action I did not question her reason for hitting me.
"Why the hell did you say no?" She whined and my eyebrows rose in confusion.
"Did you not hear my rant?" I asked, however I received another slap as she carried on.
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! I mean who else can say they've met the dark versions of a youtuber?"
I pursed my lips at the thought before sighing.
"That's true and all but I really don't want them here when Erica gets back, or even worse my parents" I explained, feeling a shiver run up my spine as I imagined what horrors would take place should they find out.
Harpreet's mood saddened and her eyes practically grew in size as a shaky frown crossed her features.
Oh no.
The puppy dog eyes; my ultimate weakness.
I slowly backed away from my friend, trying to shake off the look, however she only followed, her eyes, growing to inhumanly possible sizes.
"Harpreet, Harpreet no, I'm being serious I'm not gonna fall for that"
Suddenly my back hit the dog gate and I turned to look at it to distract myself, however, much to my distain, the dogs sat there and stared up at me, giving me the same treatment as my human friend.
Oh come on.
The only other being in this household who was opposed to the idea was Smudge, however when I turned to her for help she took one look at the dogs and escaped the situation through the window.
Traitor.
I growled and unwillingly looked back down at my Chihuahua's, my eyes catching Tilly's for a brief moment as I felt my resolve break because damn a fat dog giving you puppy dog eyes bigger than her skull does that to anyone.
"Fine, fine they can stay; but I'll do the talking not you"
Harpreet squealed in joy and nodded before the two of us returned back to the living room.
"Okay, after a long discussion I have decided to let you stay"
Darkiplier grinned at my words, as if expecting that to be the official outcome and I rolled my eyes.
"But I have a few conditions" I added, before turning my gaze to everyone in the room.
"Everyone living in this household must abide by my rules during their stay; if you don't there wil be consequences and don't think that I won't kick you out if you get cocky" I sent a look towards Dark who just grinned.
"Sure, we can handle that" he answered and I felt a sly grin rise to my face.
"That's not my only condition"
My eyes wandered to the Brit sitting on the sofa and my grin grew.
He noticed my staring and his eyes widened.
"He's gotta say he's sorry for being a dick"
"Fuck off!"
Yamibash growled darkly and my smirk only widened.
"I'm not letting you stay unless you say it~" I chided before falling silent once more.
After a few minutes of silence the once again grumbled and I knew what was coming.
"Fine…I'm sorry"
"For whaaaaaaaattttt~?"
"…for being a dick"
I clapped my hands together with a much more chipper attitude.
"Great! Now that's out the way; we need to find where you'll sleeping" I said before motioning to the door.
Darkiplier was up first, bolting out the room and up the stairs fast enough to leave behind him a trail of black smoke.
"Dibs on the double bed!" he yelled.
Yami was right behind him, yelling curses like it was an instinct.
"Oh no you don't! Get back here Dark!"
Pewdiedpie followed, stopping to give me a courteous nod before following his friends.
As the sound of things being knocked over and yelling filled my ears I sighed.
Man; what have I gotten myself into?
Oh my gosh I am SO sorry for not posting! Things have been so mixed up lately and because my computer currently hates me I lost this file twice.
But things are (hopefully) back to normal and I hope you guys enjoy!
