Finish the job (Chapter 8)
Laff crouched behind a large rock out cropping that also marked the entrance to the now burning forest village. He looked up from looking at the floor and saw a person standing not too far from him. He pressed himself closer against the rock to get farther away. The person pulled out what looked like a tape recorder and Laff heard a quiet click and a voice played.
"Laff."
"Who are you?" Laff asked. The person stepped closer to him and Laff recognized the outline of Woolf, his ears were flattened and his tail was lashing. He didn't seem too happy to see Laff, and well could Laff blame him? "Woolf listen I-i know we're not on the best terms-." Laff stuttered, Woolf growled and the tape began playing again.
"Because you killed me."
"Yes but-,"
"No, don't argue, where is Muffin?" Laff heard the tape recorder ask.
"I don't know where Muffin is, I haven't seen him since youse know-," Laff muttered putting his hands up in front of him. He smiled but he knew Woolf couldn't see it. "I promise I wouldn't hurt him." He whispered.
"Why should I believe you?" Woolf's tape recorder clicked, it was staticky and Laff could hear the fast forward sound in between some words.
"I'm not saying youse should but i'm asking that youse do." Laff whispered, his british accent growing thicker with the more worry he gained.
"Woolf! Where have you been!" A voice asked Laff and Woolf both looked in the direction of the voice, "I know who attacked you in the forest!" they said as a person with bright blonde hair leaped into view instead of light brown eyes he had golden eyes that sparkled in the darkness. He had a large wound in his chest and yellow blood dripping down from his forehead. He stopped in his tracks as he saw Laff trying to stay as far away from Woolf as possible. Muffin narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything to Laff. Instead he walked over to Woolf and placed a hand on the ghosts shoulder. "We were wrong it wasn't Laff- to be honest I was surprised as well." He told Woolf. Woolfs flattened ears rose up and he turned to Laff.
"What about him?" Woolf asked with his tape recorder, thrusting his other hand's thumb in Laffs direction.
"Do you know where the rest of the gang is? I think they might want to hear this." Muffin asked Laff.
"Yeah I do." Laff nodded shakily. Muffin turned his entire body to where Laff was and walked over to the crouched down gas mask man and he looked Laff in the eyes or the gas mask lens.
"I know we didn't end things on a good term but truce?" Muffin asked, holding out a hand. Laff accepted it and Muffin pulled Laff to his feet.
"Yeah I'll be fine with that." Laff responded. He walked along the rock wall and turned his head around to look at the two who responded with an even gaze. "This way.'' He said he led them to where the group was. They were a decent distance from the fire and they were spread about. Meme stood next to Blaza and Tbh, Nadwe sat talking to Jooocie. It seemed decently calm although Laff could sense the tension. As soon as Muffin walked into the temporary encampment he shouted.
"NADWE!"
Nadwe spun around at the mention of his name and that's when he noticed his best friend.
"MUFFIN?" He shouted in return they both ran and muffin wrapped Nadwe tightly in a hug. They were laughing and Woolf was obviously watching Muffin carefully. Only breaking his gaze away from the two to glare at Laff. Which he could understand. Meme and the rest of the remains from the group walked over. Meme had clear shock and surprise on his face while Joocie smiled. Tbh clutched his golden sword but it fell to his side as he realized who it was.
"Muffin how are you alive?" Joocie asked.
"I'm a god." Muffin said in a Matter of fact tone like they were all supposed to know. Muffin broke away from the hug and dusted off his brown overalls. "The reason I needed to see you all so urgently is because I hear you have an issue." He said seriously.
"Yes but we don't know who it is for starters." Meme explained his breath caught in his throat as he continued. "The last time I saw the shadowy figure dude, I don't know what to call him." he said hurriedly, "despite that the last time I saw him he looked very similar to- Nadwe." He said getting choked up as he said Nadwes name.
"What?" Nadwe shouted, spinning around to face Meme head on, "Why would I do this!" Nadwe said, waving his hand to the large forest fire. "Why would I do ANY OF THIS!" He screamed. He then spun around and pointed at Laff fury in his eyes as he shouted.
"WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD I SERVE THAT TYRANT!" Nadwe shouted, his voice going higher in pitch. "He tried to KILL me because I couldn't control if I was a VAMPIRE!" Then all of a sudden he paused. Thinking about something.
"It's Socks." He whispered. "It's SOCKS!" He said, spinning around to face everyone.
"You just realized that?" Muffin asked. Everyone turned there heads to look at Muffin in usion. "Right I thought you guys knew." He smiled. He then in a different tone, a little joking and a little serious said "What made you realize?"
"Well Laff and L4FF hated vampires," Nadwe said glaring at Laff who didn't responded yet he continued to listen, "And When I first spoke to Socks He fell over and I offered to help, he called me a 'Blood sucking demon' and pushed me away." Nadwe hesitated, trying to pull all of the details together "Laff, if I remember correctly said the exact same thing to me."
Laff was walking up to Memes house he rapped lightly on the door with his fist the sound of metal hitting wood rang out and he quickly slipped on his leather gloves. Meme opened the door and he tiredly stepped aside and muttered.
"Come in."
Laff stepped in and looked at the walls observing Memes wall. Photos of him and Wiktora, his deceased wife, hung on the walls. On one side of the wall a dart board that had a poorly drawn face of Socks hanging on the wall had a small dagger straight through his face. Laff shuddered and decided to not judge Meme for too long. Everyone handles grief differently Meme certainly had a strange way of handling that grief.
"What do you want, Laff?" Meme asked, walking in behind him.
"I want to talk to Nadwe to see how he's fairing with this. Especially since i'm the one that got you guys his adoption stuff." Laff told him. Laff could have sworn that he saw fear light up in Memes' eyes but it disappeared so quickly that Laff thought it was his own eyes pulling a trick on him.
"Nadwe can you come here." Meme called. Footsteps could be heard and Laff saw Nadwe peek his head out of the basement, his temporary room with Meme until they built him his own room. Laff noted Nadwe had sweet berry red eyes and a small fang barely being able to be shown from underneath his lips. Laff then instantly got suspicious but didn't say anything.
"Hi Nadwe," Laff said in his most kind tone.
"Wasup Laff." Nadwe said in a deeper voice. As Nadwe exited the basement Laff noticed his collar stained with red.
'Probably sweet berry juice,' Laff thought, not fully sure of what it could be. Nadwe smiled and Laff saw how his canine teeth had grown sharper, probably so sharp they could pierce flesh. Which was suspicious.
"Nadwe what's going on." Laff said, squinting at Nadwe from underneath his gas mask. Nadwes eyes lit up with surprise and he started twiddling his thumbs in anxiety. He looked down at his feet in embarrassment and Laff could feel it click in his brain.
"HE'S A VAMPIRE?" He shouted in confusion turning to a guilty looking Meme. "I trusted you with a child and look what happens! He becomes a blood sucking demon!"
Laff looked away guilty this time. He then heard slow clapping he expected it to come from one of the few surrounding group members but to his surprise everyone else was looking around in confusion.
"Clever clever little Nadwe finally getting it but just days too late." A sly voice laughed. Laff turned to see two hands appearing from what seemed like nothing, one hands as black as shadows, the other had a white glove and the start of an orange sleeve the fire to the right of them or Laff's right. The figure stepped out of the darkness concealing them. "Really I don't know what you expected." He said as he stepped out. Laff couldn't but gasp in surprise even though he knew deep down who it was. Socks smiled as he stepped out. Half of his face was covered by pitch black all Laff could see was his eye. His hair was no longer shadowy; it was fully brown with his normal orange streak in his hair. His helmet's visor was tipped back. Half of his body was covered in the shadows that covered his face. The rest of his body looked normal. His normal orange space suit and rainbow socks. He radiated confidence but looked extremely weak like dying of illness. Laff thought carefully then all of sudden a memory came back to him.
L4FF wandered around and no one was going to attack him; he was practically invincible. It was the room he had spent almost Three years building. Lots of TNT had been used and Stone lots of TNT and Stone. L4FF was looking for one person and one person only. Socksfor1. Why was he looking for him? Well Laff has always enjoyed the spaceman's company and if L4FF could get Socks maybe Laff would fight so much when L4FF wanted control. L4FF continued to walk forwards until he tripped over something. He caught himself just before he face planted and he turned around and saw what he had tripped on. It was none other than the person he was looking for. Socksfor1, he was passed out stretched out on the floor. L4FF stood up and walked over. He placed a metal hand on Socks forehead and realized he had a fever. He was practically radiating heat. L4FF then noticed a large cut in Socks leg so the fever was most likely caused by infection. L4FF scooped up Socks and his brain tried to come up with things to do, and then it hit him. He had been working on an experiment so why not test it out. Have an ally, a friend.
Now that ally was an enemy. An enemy that stood tall despite an infection that was weaking his body. In a blink of an eye he had his arm wrapped around Laff's throat, a knife in the other hand. Laff squirmed but he knew it was useless.
"Im not here to bargain, Im here to finish the job."
