Chapter 29 * The Female Dog Returns *
"Jack, it's me. It's Tip," she smiled, "You're alive!"
She started to come closer then but Jack objected.
"No, no, don't touch me!" he protested.
"I can't believe it's really you!" she smiled again.
"Why didn't you help me?" Jack spat angrily.
Her smiled dropped then.
"I thought I'd killed you," she whispered softly, wanting sympathy.
Ha! She wouldn't get any from me!
"You almost did, you brat!" I hissed venomously, reaching for my dagger.
Jack put a hand on my forearm though to hold me back.
"So you just got on with it and left me to die?" he asked sadly.
"But you didn't! I can fix everything now! Please let me-" she started.
"-we can't be fixed. I can't be fixed!" Jack shot back, cutting her off mid-sentence.
He turned to leave but then Tip spoke again.
"Jack, don't go! I love you!" Tip said.
"Excuse you?!" I whipped back around to face her.
"You are the one who left him, you are the one that pushed him off that balcony out of your blind jealousy! I was the one who stayed by his side, who fought for him, cared for him! You do not get to say those words to him because you don't know what love is!" I spat, making her flinch back from me.
"Well, I don't know what to say or how to say it right. All I know is that you're my best friend," Tip tried again, turning to Jack.
"I was your only friend!" Jack said angrily.
"Well...children can't be corrected if they don't know what they've done wrong. Show her! Show her what she did to you!" I told Jack, glaring daggers at Tip.
Hesitantly, he untied his shirt strings and opened his shirt to reveal his mechanical heart and metal chest plate. Tip recoiled in horror at the revelation, her eyes wide.
"The old Jack may have been your friend..." I told her, stepping dangerously close to her, "But the new Jack is mine,"
Tip wore a pained expression but I reveled in it.
"And if I ever see you trying to bother or hurt Jack again, I won't hesitate to take this dagger and slit your throat. Because one day...I am going to kill you." I whispered in her ear.
She shivered slightly in fear and I grinned as I began to walk away, linking my arm in Jack's metal one.
"Come on, Jack."
