Ch. 15: Watching Danger Is Near
"AAAAAAAAAH!" Adrian screamed as he fell to the ground. "MY LEG!"
"Damn... I missed." Mr. H said.
"What were you aiming for?" Jss2141 asked.
"His dick... sadly it appears to be a very small target." Mr. Hardcor3 said.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Jss2141 laughed loudly.
Everyone else that got the joke heard over the intercom laughed as well, all but King as he just looked confused and a bit unsettled.
'Who would shot someone in the dick?' King thought.
Mr. Hardcor3 put the sniper down and say back in his seat.
"Okay, let's get back to this." Mr. H said, turning to his friend. "Jon, load it up."
"Gladly, Mark!" Jss2141 said, finishing his laughter and starting the next chapter/episode.
Luz walked to her locker and began to get her stuff ready for her first class. Still feeling chipper, Luz hit a high note on her whistling and made a few students turn to her before she finished the song.
"Is it that weird to see me so chipper?" Luz asked.
"After some months of depression, YES." Jss2141 comments.
'Depression, Luz?' Everyone that cared about Luz thought in worry, glancing at the human.
"Well, someone is in a good mood." Masha said, walking towards Luz with a smile.
'Masha!?' Vee thought, blushing at the sight of future Masha.
"Let's just say I had an interesting weekend." Luz said to them. "Ever since Halloween night actually."
"Ah, my story of the Brother's Wittebane really helped you did it?" Masha asked.
"... You could say that." Luz said vaguely.
"Brother's Wittebane? There was more than one?" Orson asked, surprised.
"Yes. There was." Hunter and Luz said.
'And he's technically my father.' Hunter thought, still feeling conflicted about being a grimwalker.
"It's a BIG story from my town." Luz said, "I'll explain it later."
'Both in learning the truth and stopping Belos for now.' Luz thought, putting her bag inside her locker.
"So, what have you been up to since, Masha?" Luz asked, being friendly.
They shrugged.
"Just working at the Gravesfield HIstorical Society." Masha said, crossing their arms. "Making some good money there."
"They work there now?" Luz and Vee asked in surprise.
"They? So you humans also have gender identity?" Boscha asked.
"Yeah, but it's... it's a lot more complicated in the Isles." Luz said, not wanting to tell them about Homophobia yet.
"Yeah, it's better if we explain later. Trust me." Vee said.
"Even better than Jacob?" Luz asked with a smirk.
"Heck yeah since I do a good, honest, and truthful job." Masha said with pride. "Plus I don't make fake exhibits just to boost my own ego."
'That sounds familiar.' Eda thought, being reminded of Belos.
'And you don't kidnap people and try and dissect them.' Luz thought, remembering the day she met her sister.
Vee squirmed from this, still not liking that moment of her life, until Camila hugged her to comfort her.
"It's alright. He can't hurt you anymore." She whispered, making Vee smile.
"So you ready for class?" Luz asked.
"Yeah, not looking forward to it, but yeah." Masha said.
The two began to walk down the hall when they see a familiar blonde girl with a pink stripe through her hair came into their line of sight.
"Wait, what? A human Amity?" Boscha asked in surprise.
Her friend group were surprised as well as they looked back and forth between Amity and the human girl.
"Huh... You know, Tracey really does look a bit like Amity." Luz said, looking closer.
"Excuse me!?" Amity yelled, making Luz flinch. "She does not!"
"Amity, she's a dead ringer for you!" Skara said, pointing to the screen. "Change her eye color, skin and ears; she looks exactly like you before you dyed and changed your hairstyle."
"She also has a big forehead like you." Cat comments.
"My forehead is not big!" Amity shouted as she stood up, blushing. "Take it back!"
Sensing she was about to jump someone,Luz had to pull Amity back into the seat.
"It's okay, Amity. It's okay. Your forehead is just perfect." Luz said as she kissed it.
Despite calming down a bit, Amity glared at Cat ad the healer slowly turned white.
'I think I fucked up.' Cat thought.
"Oh no, here comes Tracey." Luz said, sighing.
"Great, what does queen bee want?" Masha asked, rolling their eyes.
If there was one thing Luz and Masha genuinely shared, that wasn't from when Vee impersonated Luz for a few months, it was they both didn't like the popular and snooty girl along with all the stereotypes she represents.
'I feel very insulted right now.' Boscha thought with a blank frown.
In the control room, Mr. H looked at J.
"So should we bring her in now or should we wait?" He asked.
"Hmm, let's wait after Tracey is possessed." J said to him. "We'll also prepare some hot cocoa to help her with her trauma."
"So next chapter, got it." Mr. H said, "I'll go make my grandfather's recipe... damn I wish I could've met him, his recipes are incredible."
Jss2141 patted his shoulder, being reminded of his grandparents and how much he misses them.
Head cheerleader, most popular, wealthy; she had all the boxes checked, but Luz had something that blew all of those out of the water. Something she was going to show off as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small wrench.
"Well if it isn't the weirdo squad, are you two ever-"
Luz looked at her and ripped the wrench like paper, making Tracey stop in her tracks.
"... Why did you have a wrench?" Hunter asked, glancing at Luz.
"Sometimes people loosen my locker bolts as a prank, so I always bring a small wrench to school so I can tighten them back." Luz said. L
"Oh! So that's why my locker was almost always falling when I opened it." Vee muttered in realization.
"And how long has THIS been going on?!" Camila asked, outraged.
"It doesn't ma-"
"Several years." Mr. H said, cutting off Luz.
"QUE?!" Camila shouted in outrage!
"100 says she tears that human principal new one later." Jss2141 said to his friend.
"200 says she slaps his teeth out with a sandal." Mr. Hardcor3 said.
"... It would be fun to have him here to see what Camila picks." Jss2141 said.
"Hehehehehehe. Don't give me any ideas." Mr. H said.
"Keep messing with us, and that will be your spine." Luz said, low and glaring at Tracey.
"Dang, Luz. You're scary in the future." King said, shivering.
"Yeah." Gus agreed, curling up slightly.
Tracey stared at Luz for a moment before quickly backing away with her hands up.
"Okay, okay, no need to threaten me." She said while panicking inside.
'HOW DID SHE DO THAT?!' Tracey thought before leaving the duo.
"Ha!" Luz said, "Take that!"
"She's not that bad, so long as you stay clear of her." Vee said softly to the Luz's friends.
"Woah, how did you do that?" Masha asked, looking at Luz in awe.
"Oh, you know, just a... paper mache wrench, looks like a real one, but light weight and easy to destroy... anyway, let's get to class." Luz said, making up a cover story.
"Paper mache?" Hunter asked. "Really?"
"I mean... how else was I supposed to explain it!?" Luz asked, shrugging.
"Admit your strength. There is no shame in that." Mason said.
"Humanity has limits, even the strongest of them." Camila said, drinking another ice coffee to calm herself down.
She didn't even care to keep count anymore. She just knows she was on the double digits.
Luz quickly crumbled up the "paper maché" wrench and put it in her pocket, walking to class as Masha followed.
Once they reached the classroom, they sat in their seats. All while something was gazing from the window, keeping a watchful eye on Luz and Luz alone.
Everyone that truly hated Belos glared at the screen while the rest looked at the villainous slime in indifference/disgust.
'Yes, this is my chance.' Belos thought, condensed into a small pile of muck. 'She won't dare try and reveal herself in front of others. Now how to get in?'
'Oh no.' Luz thought, realizing what's going to happen.
Belos looked over the window, only to see the window was air tight. So what else could he possibly do? That's when he saw a rain gutter to the side of the building. He could go in from the roof and get in through a door or vent.
'Perfect.' He thought as he slithered up to the roof, moving into a vent, and into the school.
Once again, the feeling of fear creeped into everyone's souls.
He moved to the nearest light source before looking through the vent cover and saw a person he could possess. A girl with blonde hair, Tracey, looking through her locker.
"Oh no...." Hunter said as he had the worst feeling about this.
'Hmmm, this girl shall do.' Belos thought, slowly slithering down the vent towards the young girl.
"Stay away from that child!" Lilith shouted.
All she and anyone else could do was shout in fear or worry like it was a horror movie, telling Tracey to run for his life. But alas, just like a horror movie, their screams did nothing to stop what was about to happen.
Tracey heard a noise and looked around, wondering what the source was and why she was hearing it.
'What is that weird noise?' She thought before looking up to see green goo fall from the vents.
Tracey quickly moved aside as it landed before her, slowly forming into Sludge Belos as he towered over her. Yet before she could scream, he had covered her mouth with his hand and shushed her.
"... This is so creepy." Luz said.
"Yeah, 400 year old man physically assaults 14 year old girl, this doesn't look good AT ALL." Amity said, being sarcastic with her girlfriend.
"You don't need to be so snippy, cute as it is." Luz said to her.
"I can't help it like you can't help being so cute when you're so blunt or ignorant." Amity said with a grin.
'STOP. For the love of Titan, JUST STOP.' Multiple people thought.
This was no time to be a cute couple.
"Quiet now, no need for alarm. You'll do perfectly." He said before melding with her and possessing her, making Tracey's eyes turn an eerie blue. "Hehehe... this shall be exciting."
With the body under his control, Belos walked into the hallway and made his way to Tracey's class with Luz. Her memories were very useful right now.
"Belos in a cheerleader uniform, not a thought I EVER needed." Luz said, cringing.
Now to just wait for an opening, which wouldn't be that hard since Tracey's seat was right in FRONT of Luz!
Luz felt her friends grab onto her, as if this would save her.
