“Laugh through it sometimes…”

Bucky x Reader

Summary: Bucky has had to cope alone with his nightmares until you arrived in his life. Little did he think laughter would do the trick.

Mentions: fluff, nightmares, laughter

(I’m exposing a bad dream i used to have 😂 thank you childhood nightmares 😂😘 hope this makes you laugh some)

Bucky never gets sleep, always waking up to no one there. The heavy breathing, shaking. He thought they would go away eventually but until then, he just had to endure. At least this time around, he isn’t alone.

It’s only been a month maybe since you two started seeing each other. You both like to explore, be curious about things. Found common interests like when he told you he likes forties music and you took him to an old antique shop you used to work showing him all records. He was like a kid in a candy factory seeing albums that he thought wouldn’t even exist still. You liked that he had this hidden part of him. He might look brooding and definitely can be. With you, he turned into a cinnamon roll and you loved every minute of it.

You would invite him over to watch movies or hang out he loved that he could fill up his days with you then be wondering around the city. A nice change. Although you two never really spent the night together, you knew he had a past, you didn’t know everything but no matter you couldn’t see yourself giving up someone as amazing as him in your eyes especially when he didn’t see it. This time you were at his place made a big fort in his living room which actually made him less embarrassed that he didn’t have a lot of furniture. You guys spent the whole day watching movies, talking, curled in his arms most of it. He just worried that if you spent the night you would see what happens and he felt like you shouldn’t.

You tried to keep yourself awake as long as possible but with the smell of his fresh balsam cologne and the warmth of his chest as it rises and falls when he breathes it just started to pull you under. You said you would let him take you home but by then Bucky was half asleep himself and you both just knocked out.

As the night carried on to the bewitching hour, Bucky once again found himself jolting awake sitting up, breathing heavy, sweating, shaking. He bunched part of the blanket in his hands zoning out. He heard stirring which made him jump but remembering you were next to him oh god you were next to him and the fears of not knowing if he hurt you in sleep made him panic more.

“Mm Bucky…you okay?” You say half asleep finding his arm rubbing it. “Yeah…i…Mm it’s nothing,” he sounds out of breath you sit up wrapping your arm around his neck rubbing his shoulder. “Hey it’s okay…you can tell me,” you say softly to him running a hand through his hair it was wet some from him sweating so much it made you pout seeing him get like this.

“I..hydra, the usual…” he sighs. You nod listening to him then eventually get up giving him some water to help. “Wanna hear a bad dream I had before…well I have a few but this one,” you sigh out.

“What was it?” Bucky rubs your shoulder. “When I was a kid i used to like watching the muppets like with Kermit and all of them sometimes with my parents.”

Bucky looks at you so confused “uh huh…”

“Listen it get worse okay, ya know miss piggy. Well I would have recurring nightmares of her tying me up and then standing in the corner of my room watching me I couldn’t scream she ducked tape my mouth and then I would wake up breathing hard crying,”

“What?!” He bursts out in laughter he can’t help it he hasn’t heard something so quirky before.

You laugh with him hard holding your stomach “Hey this is traumatizing okay,” you say in between giggles

“Yeah I bet it was…do you need to come with me to the next therapy session hm tell them about this incident,” he laughs tickling you hard. It did make him feel a lot better actually.

You both eventually calm down after a bit laying down again your head on his chest “I think I can spend the night more often now okay buck…you don’t need to be alone when these happen,” you say lifting your head up some facing him.

He was hesitant at first but nodded “okay…if I ever hurt you…you gotta tell me okay,” he says making a compromise. “Okay,” you say meeting his lips kissing him softly.

“And if you ever ya know get these dreams about miss piggy you let me know…” he says biting his lip laughing again.

“Screw you barnes,” you roll your eyes laughing a little kissing him more.

“Mm I love to screw you…” he smirks getting on top of you. “Bucky…” you groan laughing a little there was no way you two were gonna sleep now.

🎶

these are mostly my canon interpretations because honestly your portrayals are like almost indistinguishable from my own headcanons lol (we have the same brain yippee) and i was only able to get so many songs because i have playlists for almost all of these characters. this is gonna be a long one so bare with me bro

p.s: i did try to include explanations for the songs for your au claus but since i dont know him that well there may not be any

for lucas:

billy bibbit by san fermin

i cant explain this one that well but you'll understand when u listen lol

if all goes well by the dear hunter

i just really love this song for him (and like 2 other blonde protagonists with severe Issues), i really wanna do a lyric comic w/ specifically the "love us all in spite of what we'll do to you" lyric bc i think that really is like. him

the killing type by amanda palmer

i just think he hates killing stuff. like obviously. this song fits him really well, and the bits about killing to make someone feel are totally directed at the masked man

cheshire kitten by sj tucker

yippee bonus song!!! this one just reminds me of him being kinda Strange, esp after hinawa died. also stripes reference (fun fact: he shares this song with pokey on my playlists!!! theyre twinning!!!)

for ness:

hard times come and go by pokey lafarge

my friend gave me this song last night because of the artists name being really funny but it did actually remind me of pokey and ness so i decided to put it on my playlists

im not a dog by the pleasantries

its literally him bro. i just think he's kinda Sad sometimes. i have the matching song on my pokey playlist.

numb bears by of monsters and men

i wanted to include something happy on here, i think winning the war against giygas was a big win for him, especially with how much discouragement he got from people

for ninten:

the rainbow connection by kermit

i aint explaining this one its just him

constellations by the oh hellos

also not explaining it i dont have that many thoughts abt this one. i just think its kinda nintencore

change by steven universe

him and giegue i guess. because he's a little pollyanna.

for au claus:

a terrible ride by lizard boy

he obviously regrets like. everything that happened. especially because he lost his brother because of it

worry for naught by go child

reminds me of his general fear of how he could get caught not being the real claus (fun fact: this song is just all star by smash mouth but altered with new lyrics)

silhouette by owl city

isnt he like searching for lucas All The Time even though none of them are his. that's gotta hurt bro

#POLLYANNA (ooc)

Long Post:

I just made a self insert chara for Sally Face and they are absolutely feral big tiddy goth gf-

(Gender neutral pronouns pls) they will 100% smack the dog shit out of Travis and Larry for fighting in the halls. Homophobia? I think the fucl not you trick ass bitch. Apologizing for your abuser? Think the fuck again hoe! You living with them now!

Don’t wanna go home cause your dads an alcoholic? Pack your shit we’re having a sleep over bitches!

Call them a witch and this lol bitch will 100% attempt to summon a demon out of spite. This lil heathen runs on 30 minutes of sleep, a Canada Dry and unchecked anger issues.

They have a cat, based off my fat bastard Penelope.

They’re a bad bitch, ass fat 40 inch hair yours came in a pack (in college + the feral is well maintained)

For the love of god Sal and Larry could not introduce them to Lisa because they will 100% try to adopt themselves into the family. Henry met them by accident at a corner store and felt threatened by heady lil eyes glaring at him while he sifted through liquor bottles. He went home with a sprite that night.

Larry getting depressed and suicidal alone? Nothing but a word. This fast lil bastard will keep a keen eye on all their friends because that’s what mom friends do.

Will they kermit first? Probably… actually that might be the threat they use against Larry to keep him kicking. “If your dying in dying first, little bitch. Now eat your chicken nuggets and cry out your feelings.”

Now, you might be thinking: Narwhal, you can’t possibly say this isn’t a stereotypical black woman. HAH you’re wrong! This gay lil they is entirely docile 24/7 but if you dare hurt yourself or their friends they will eat you alive (might fist fight the red eyed demon for fun this non religious lil bitch fears no god).

Tbh the cult would be terrified of this walking demon. “This wasn’t in the book???” “That’s the red eyed demon??” “There’s no red eyes!” Little do they know. This motherfucker already made a deal with the red eyed demon to meet them when they die and help them purge the world, until then it can feed on their negativity.

Sal has someone the same height as him for all of two years and then this mother fucker starts being mad when he’s an inch taller- (because technically he’s taller than me by an inch… bitch-)

Larry and Travis are forced to kiss and make up or god help them if they cause a fight during this lil bastards peace and tranquility. The red eyed demon made a deal for a reason.

100% exposed Kenneth Phelps for child abuse and burned down the church. Got stuck on top of the church and did a little dance while the fire fighters tried to get them down. “I’m stuck on this roof, it’s burning n shit. There’s smoke in my eyes”

There is absolutely a reason my type of personality can’t be a self insert, they will uproot the story for fun.

God forbid someone falls in love with them

This mother fucker: uh… Hah. Hahah, uhhhh you good?

Larry: I- I called you pretty?

S.I: huh… pretty? Thanks! You uhhh… you bathed!

Sal *quivering* : Larry Face that’s the best you’re getting. They can’t take a compliment…

S.I: I CAN TOO

Ash: you literally just took a minute to nicely call him clean as a reply… you ASKED ME WHY WHEN I SAID I LIKE YOU

Feral disaster bottom ready to uproot a cult and make a pact with demons for humanitys sake.

(Larry and Sal still end up in jail for murdering Kenneth Phelps and Travis is now the second disaster bottom cause my life goal is to help all abuse victims recover and live their best life)

#sally face au #travis phelps #larry johnson #sally face #sal fisher #jfc what have I done #this lil bastard might try and help people get together #this feral lil bastard was in a tuxedo at the Fisher wedding #dancing with Sal and Larry while Henry and Lisa laughed at the kids #everyone lives #except Kenneth #all three go to jail #well Sal and Larry go to prison for murder #but they come back big and buff #Lory returns from jail in a month after burning down the church #would have been two years but they uncovered the truth and that Lory was indeed correct on Kenneths accusations of abuse and murder #muahaha #long post

Epic Movie (Re)Watch #230 - It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

Spoilers Below

Have I seen it before: Yes

Did I like it then: Yeah.

Do I remember it: Yes.

Did I see it in theaters: No.

Format: DVD

1) It wouldn’t be a Muppet movie without some fourth wall breaks.

Director [to Joe Snow, a talking snow man narrator]: “New get out of the shot you Burl Ives wannabe.”

2) This is part of a unique era of Muppet films which started in Muppets from Space but was ended by The Muppets in 2011 in its inclusion of characters from “Muppets Tonight”. A revived Muppet show from the 90s, it introduced the now longstanding character of Pepe the Prawn but also a lot of other characters who I thinking, “Who is this?” as a kid. These include Clifford, Sal Minella and Johnny Fiama. They always stuck out to me but I’m not sure why.

3) This is I believe the only Muppets film post “Muppet Show” and pre The Muppets to actual feature The Muppet Theater in a prominent part. In fact, a lot of this plot has similarities with The Muppets from 2011. The gang has to raise money to save their theater from a greedy tycoon with one big crowd pleasing show and even though they don’t get it back with the many they get it back through other unconventional means. The movies even share a “How can we do this without Piggy?” subplot and Kermit desperately searching for a celebrity host.

4) Seeing Kermit in such a low place at the film’s beginning really hooks you in. It’s Kermit the Frog for crying out loud! He embodies positivity and creativity wherever he goes, so to see him just SO defeated really makes you wonder what happened.

5) David Arquette as Daniel.

David Arquette is one of the oddest human “leads” in the franchise and I don’t know that he’s the best fit. That might just be because I’ve always been considerably indifferent to the actor, he doesn’t do much for me. He’s not awful in this movie and is actually charming with his naivety for a lot of it. But he doesn’t leave much of an impression, I don’t think. Although, how much of an impression can a human “lead” in a Muppet movie make?

6) Fun fact: Daniel has a picture of Courteney Cox on his desk. Courteney Cox and David Arquette were married at the time this film was made.

7) There are a number of gags in this film that let you know it aired on NBC.

“The Boss’s” Doorbell being the “NBC” chimes

A cameo by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

The “Scrubs” cast and creator making a cameo

A gag about “Fear Factor”

Kermit: “Corporate synergy. It’s out of control.” [Shows off an NBC logo on the bottom of his foot.]

8) I like that Whoopi Goldberg is basically god in this movie. She’s a good fit. You get the sense that she has a bit of wrath to her, you don’t wanna piss Whoopi Goldberg off, but she’s very kind and patient for most of the film. But always in control. I dig it.

9) So…Matthew Lillard is apparently a random French guy who tries to turn the Muppets Christmas show into “Cirque du Lamé” only to walk off in a huff after Kermit insults his vision.

Lillard, I will say, is pretty unrecognizable in the part. He really embraces the cartoonish nature of it well.

10) Funnily enough, the Cirque du Lamé bit is actually not that far off from Jim Henson’s earlier (weirder) work.

11) Joan Cusack as Rachel Bitterman.

Cusack really embraces the fun of being a bad guy. She’s wonderfully evil in the part, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. A cartoonish villain and I say that with love because she fits in so well with the Muppet franchise. The surprise scene stealer of the entire film.

12) You can tell how old this film is when they make a Windows Operating System joke.

13) Pepe not-so-low-key betraying the Muppets to go work with Bitterman is kinda extremely crappy. I like Pepe but it just paints him as exclusively greedy and shallow to do this, making his “redemption” a little underwhelming.

14) I don’t LOVE the adult humor this film plays with. We get a weird night club scene with Scooter as a go-go dancer, weird innuendos, it just doesn’t really fit with the Muppet aesthetic. I think it could’ve benefited without it.

15) The Moulin Scrooge bit (the show the Muppets are putting on to save their theater) has a nice amount of entertainment value but largely serves as a distraction from the main plot. That’s not so bad as it might be in other films, though, because as I mentioned it is a treat to watch.

youtube

16) Fozzie’s Rush to the Bank.

Similar to Moulin Scrooge, this scene has a lot of entertainment value but is stretched out unnecessarily. It’s basically one pop culture references after another shoehorned into a sequence which could’ve been half as long. Although Fonzie running through the lasers is a nice gag.

17) Hey look, a Yoda cameo!

18) The It’s A Wonderful Life twist on this movie (Kermit seeing a world without him) actually results in an emotionally strong third act. It gives the film its heart, seeing each Muppet and their sad life without Kermit. It backs a considerable punch and I think is the main reason the film works as well as it does.

19) I like it when other Muppet projects pay homage to the original. Example: Doc Hopper’s is a major fast food chain in a Kermit-less world.

20) Miss Piggy’s life in particular is harsh. Not because being a cat lady is sad (some people like cats), but because it’s clear how freaking lonely she is. That’s what gives the scene it’s emotion, how sad this childhood icon is without her frog. It’s actually pretty touching.

21) “Everyone Matters”

youtube

The only original song in the piece, “Everyone Matters” is a solid tune in the grand Muppet tradition. It has soul, emotion, and a powerful message about loneliness. Even when we’re feeling down, we matter. The song was actually nominated for an Emmy so yeah, a great addition to the film.

22) The fight between Miss Piggy and Joan Cusack’s Miss Bitterman is fun to watch but pretty superfluous. Did they just need to fill their time slot?

23) Okay, I have issues with Pepe in this film, but I dig this line.

Pepe [after saving the theater]: “Well when you can have friends and get revenge on enemies, isn’t that what Christmas is all about?”

24) And then there’s a nice epilogue where the Salvation Army gets the boatload of money the Muppets were gonna give to Miss Bitterman. All’s well that ends well.

While not the best Muppet film, this is still a fun watch around the holidays. Not for everyone, it’s a harmless 80ish minutes I think you will generally enjoy. There’s a surprising amount of heart in the final act, the Muppets are fun as always, and there’s a nice amount of humor to it. If you think this is for you, go for it!

Blood Candy: Chapter 8

When I came to, I found myself in a sickeningly familiar office.

I was bound to the same chair I was in yesterday using the same thick rope Seb used to choke me.

“Hope the ride wasn’t too bumpy,” Jasper Kermit’s voice said. He entered the room and crouched down to my level with an arrogant smile. “Took you long enough. Though…” He frowned. “You’re not nearly as bloody as I expected you to be.” Jasper’s smile suddenly returned, only more cheerful this time. “Good! Means your little friend Sebs is actually marginally obedient and isn’t a greedy little leech.”

“Let me go!” I demanded as Jasper got up to go to his syringe cabinet. “I’ve done nothing to you!”

“I don’t exactly care,” he said, “but thanks for reminding me.”

“I hope you realize I only took your stupid vampire candy just to be polite,” I snapped at him. “I should’ve just turned it down and saved myself the trouble.”

Jasper laughed, a cruel and condescending sound. He crouched down to my level, syringe in hand.

“You really think I would’ve given you that choice?” he taunted. “God, you are so naive. It’s embarrassing, really.”

My heart was thundering. I was gonna die here, I thought. I’ve been kidnapped, I can’t call anyone for help, he’s gonna drain all of my blood and feed it to his army of vampires, he’s gonna—

Suddenly, Jasper started poking needles in the back of both hands, then in both wrists, and in both arms. Though the pain of blood works didn’t affect me as much anymore, having six needles stuck in my veins at once, plus the knowledge that these six needles were going to drain me of all my blood and kill me, made the entire process much more painful.

Finally, he hooked all six needles up to one longer-than-normal syringe, with several others on the sidelines.

“Oh…hold on,” Jasper said with a smirk. “Before we start, there’s one last thing I need to do.”

He grabbed a nearby roll of duct tape, ripped off a piece, and taped it over my mouth.

“Wouldn’t want a noise complaint, now, would we?” Jasper taunted. He wore a sadistic grin on his face...revealing fangs in his mouth and confirming any remaining suspicions. “Now we can get started…”

Suddenly, a fire alarm went off in the building.

“Wh-what the hell…?” he said, then turned to me, an annoyed look on his face. “I’m gonna go check out the alarm. Fortunately, you can’t really escape, so I guess enjoy the last minutes of your life.” He stood up and walked out the door.

I tried to ignore the pain in my arms and wrists as I tried to figure out a way out of the situation.

Chances are, I thought to myself, that I wouldn’t be able to escape before Jasper gets back. And if he sees that I tried to, then he’s probably gonna kill me even faster. I could sit here and die, and if/whenever Sebs snaps outta this, then he’ll have to live with the knowledge that he’s the reason his ‘best friend in the whole wide world since kindergarten’ is now six feet under with empty blood vessels and ghostly white skin. And you know what? I’m okay with that. I hope Seb feels like the scum of the earth for this—

Wait. No. Why am I blaming him? This is Jasper’s fault. He was the one who spiked the candy—with what?—he probably enlisted Seb to choke the consciousness outta me, and he is the person draining my blood. Not Seb. He didn’t want this. He wants me alive, and every remaining conscious part of him is probably screaming at himself mentally for putting me in harm’s way—

“Dakota!” a familiar voice called. I looked up to find Akira, Kaveri, and the kid from the other day, Oliver. He had a bandage wrapped around his shoulder with a bloody spot in the middle.

“Hey! Finally!” I cheered. “GET THESE THINGS OUTTA ME NOW.”

“Alright, alright, geez,” Akira said. “You act like you’re dying.” She and Oliver began gently taking the needles out of my veins. The two of them raided the desk for bandages, and put them on my wrists and arms.

“How did you guys find me?” I asked.

“This hospital is one of the main headquarters of Clueham’s top vampire guild,” Kaveri explained as she was cutting me loose. “It’s also the only local hospital--because the Clueham officials all share a single brain cell--so I figured you’d be trapped here.”

“Oliver—or Oli, for short—is Jasper’s younger brother,” Akira said. “He was in the waiting room crying, and I asked him what was up. He told me about his brother who caused both the small bleeding hole in his shoulder and Seb’s newfound insanity. I triggered the fire alarm to cause a distraction, and boom!” She pulled out the last needle as Kaveri finished freeing me. “Here we are.”

“Akira, you genius,” I said. “Let’s go.”

“Let’s,” Oliver said, “before Jasper gets back. Exit’s just upstairs—“

“No,” I said. “I need to face Jasper.”

Oliver’s eyes widened with fear.

“A-are you crazy?!” he cried. “He’ll kill you! And if he doesn’t, then Sebastian will!”

“Seb wouldn’t kill me,” I said with a smile. “Hurt me, probably, but he could never bring himself to actually kill me.”

“I’m not so sure about that.” He pulled out his phone. “Can you set up some barricades?” he asked Akira and Kaveri.

He closed and locked the door, then opened up a video. Both girls nodded as they pushed the two chairs in the room in front of the door. Then, Oliver pressed play.

The video showed Jasper in his office, experimenting with what I assumed to be blood and a variety of chemicals. The camera was positions a little higher up, but not high enough to be security footage.

“All the vampires in the facility—Jasper included—busted the security cameras,” Oli explained, “so I set one up behind the books in his office.

“What if he pulled out a book from that shelf?” Akira asked.

“Well, he didn’t. He doesn’t read anymore; they’re just for show.”

Suddenly, Seb stormed into the office in the video. Jasper whirled his head around, a confused expression on his face. However, it quickly turned into a smile.

“Oh, you must be Sebastian Briggs,” Jasper said. “Yeah, you definitely came here before. I recognize you from our database. How’s it going?”

Silence. We could only see the back view of Seb, so if he was smiling, we couldn’t tell.

Seb pointed to his neck with a shaky finger. “…m-make me…one of you…”

“Ohhhh…” Jasper said, nodding. “I see.” Suddenly, he gave Seb a slight glare. “Wait…no, no no no. I just…I can’t really do that, see. I don’t exactly know if I trust you to not be a filthy leech like some of the other greedy…subjects from before.” Jasper stood up. “See, you’re just the errand boy. You get Dakota for me, and once you do, then you get to start your real job. Got it?

Seb nodded.

“…b-but…I must…feed…like you…”

Jasper sighed.

“You made a candy that gives people bloodlust,” Jasper murmured to himself. “Of course this was gonna happen.” He let out a sigh, and leaned back in his chair.

“You know what?” Jasper said. “Sure. I’m gonna have to convert you anyways.” He stood up and grabbed something from his drawer. “But biting’s just…so informal, y’know? You’re my colleague now, I can’t just bite you on the neck like you’re some random on the street. Don’t worry. I got just the thing for that.”

Jasper pulled out a small dagger-like device. The blade resembled that of the tooth of a wild beast, and the metal handle had dark red markings on it.

“This little thingy allows me to give people the vampiric curse without biting them. Originally made for a vampire who got her teeth knocked out. Gimme your neck.”

Seb did, obeying Jasper with such blindness that it caused my blood to boil. I watched as Jasper held the other side of his errand boy’s neck as he made a decent-sized slit along his throat. As he did, the dagger’s markings lit up. When he was done, Seb was on his knees, holding the area where he was cut. Finally, he stood up, as Jasper gave a triumphant smile.

“Perfect,” he said. “Sebastian, you work for me from now on.” He took out a black long coat from his closet. “Put this on. There’s a small mirror over there if you wanna check yourself out.”

Seb put on the coat, and went over to a nearby mirror—which just happened to be on the bookshelf. That’s when Seb noticed the camera.

The video cut off just after he looked at it.

“I was controlling the camera from my phone,” Oliver explained. “So I turned it off right as I saw Sebastian looking at me.”

“…so, he’s a vampire now?” I said.

Kaveri nodded solemnly. I looked over at her.

“Can we cure him?” I asked.

“We can probably cure his bloodlust,” she said, “but if you want him to, well, not be a vampire…you’re gonna have to kill him.”

I sighed.

“Guess I’ll just have a vampire for a friend,” I said.

“Once this is over,” Akira said, “I want at least 90% of the credit for this conspiracy.”

“You’re still gonna make a post about this?!” Kaveri cried. “This isn’t a game, y’know. This is an actual threat.”

Akira just shrugged.

“Gotta keep the hustle goin’,” she replied simply. “Besides...best to keep the people informed, right? They might take it a bit less seriously since it’s a ‘conspiracy,’ but they’ll believe us. They always do.”

“Let’s actually get this done first,” I reminded her. “But yeah, I can respect that. Don’t want anyone else going through what we’ve been through.”

Suddenly, a loud BANG came from outside the door.

“DAKOTA!” Jasper yelled from the other side of the door. “I better not find you untied in there, or I will MURDER YOU.”

Akira rummaged through the drawers and shelves, then finally found and grabbed a reflex hammer. She motioned for Oliver and I to open the door. Reluctantly, we both stood on the other side of the door, out of sight, and pulled down the barricades. Jasper stormed into the room, just as Akira threw the reflex hammer at his head with a sickening thud. Jasper stumbled backward as Kaveri rammed into him, shoving him out of the threshold and trying to stick a dagger in his arm. However, Jasper kicked her out of the way.

“You three go on ahead!” Kaveri yelled. “I’ll deal with this vampire.”

“Can you handle him?” I asked. “You just have a knife; is that gonna--”

That’s when I noticed the other sheath on her belt. It was shorter than a full sword, but longer than her knife. The hilt appeared to be dark and wooden, and I could only pray that it was a stake.

“Yes,” Kaveri called, holding Jasper back. “Yes it will.”

I nodded, and took off down the hallway with my friends.

“Alright,” Akira said as we ran down the hallway. “Here’s the plan: Oli knows where the secret files are...don’t ask me how, he just does. I was confused too. Anyway, he’ll take us there and we’ll figure out what this whole candy situation is about.”

“You guys do that,” I replied. “I’m gonna try and subdue Seb, then you guys come back up when you have a cure.”

“You’ll be okay, right?” she asked. “Can you take Seb by yourself?”

“He and I used to play fight when we were younger,” I explained. “If I could take him then, I certainly can now.”

Akira sighed.

“Fine,” she said. “If there’s any trouble, find a hiding spot and text me ASAP. Worst comes to worst, we can abandon ship and find Seb another day. He’ll likely come to us, anyhow.”

“No. I’m ending this now.” We stopped at a stairwell.

“This is it,” Oli said, holding my hand. “Be safe, Dakota.”

“I will,” I said. “I have to be.” With that, we went our separate ways.

Blood Candy: Chapters 9 and 10

By Ruqayyah Pickel

Blood Candy Chapter 9:

I have to admit I was a bit worried about Dakota. Seb was...a bit of a weakling, but now that he was a vampire I feared that Dakota may be at a disadvantage.

I wasn’t really sure what Seb’s next plan was after he was finished with him--I assumed he would just follow Jasper’s orders--but something tells me I wasn’t entirely safe either. We were close, yes, but so were Seb and Dakota, yet here we were.

Oliver took me downstairs to a computer lab, turning on the light.

“Akira, look,” he said to me. “This is where all the files are kept.”

“How do you know all this?” I asked the younger Kermit sibling.

“I spy on Jasper. A lot.”

I shrugged.

“With a brother like that, I can’t blame you.”

Oli sat down at one of the computers and logged into Jasper’s account. I decided not to ask how he knew his password, as I already probably knew the answer. He spent the next few minutes rummaging through his computer, looking for anything on ‘candy.’

“So,” I said, “When did you find out your brother was a vampire?”

“Only recently, actually,” Oli said. “Like a month ago. He doesn’t know yet.”

“He doesn’t know that you know?”

Oli nodded.

Suddenly, I heard the door swing open, and a battle-scarred Kaveri entered the room. She had bruises on her arms, one around her eye, a few tears in her jacket and several scratches on her face and on her arms.

“Oh my God, are you alright?!” I asked her. “You look terrible.”

“Is Jasper dead?!” Oli cried.

“I’m surprised you care, Akira,” Kaveri snapped. “I thought I was dead to you.”

I froze. She thought she was dead to me…but that just wasn’t true. She wasn’t...okay, that was a lie. She was dead to me, but the fact that she was willing to go out of her way and risk her own life for us...

“I...I wouldn’t say that...” I told her.

“Well, you did a year ago,” she reminded me.

I stayed silent.

“And no, Oliver,” Kaveri continued, turning to our adversary’s younger brother. “He’s not dead, but I knocked him out briefly. I’ll be alright though.”

Oli’s expression was unreadable.

“How’s the search going, Oli?” I asked him.

“O-oh, right…” he said, perking up.

He entered ‘candy’ into the search bar, causing only one folder to pop up:

‘Project:Blood_Candy.pdf’.

He clicked on it.

About ten or so documents were in the folder, but we only had access to four: ‘Entry 1,’ ‘Failure,’ ‘Success’ and ‘Dakota.’

-------

file_Entry 1:

*We’ve lost far too many units to monster and vampire hunters across the country. Just recently, an X-Caliber hunter took down one of our best vampires yet—Morgan ‘Morgue’ Caligari. Without her guidance, many of the younger vamps have been unable to last a day without a hunter—or worse, nature—getting to them. Thorne says we gotta purge the city of these hunters, but we can’t afford to sacrifice more units.*

*I proposed a solution. What if we could somehow control humans to get all the blood for us, then we can drain them once their work is complete? This would not only exponentially increase our blood collection, but also keep our top vampires safe. Harriet, being a skeptic, as per usual, asked me how in the world I’d be able to come up with this. Fortunately, I did come up with a plan later that evening: if I could infuse some sort of substance into candy that would brainwash my patients after I gave it to them, then I could have an entire army in no time.*

*Project Blood Candy commences tomorrow night.*

“So they used this ‘blood candy’ to get humans to do the dirty work for them…” Kaveri said. “How disgusting.”

“Wait,” Oliver said. “Let’s check the next one.”

file_Failure:

*I’m at a loss.*

*This project is going to be a failure.*

*I tried everything to make it work. But the results from every single one of my test subjects failed.*

*The first time, nothing happened, and my patient that day said that she could clearly taste blood, as she slowly pulled out something—a phone, maybe—from her pocket.*

*I had to get rid of her quickly.*

*The second time, after a modification to hide the taste of blood, the patient threw up. Unfortunately I had to get rid of him, too.*

*The third time, I had to modify the formula and substitute what I had used to hide the taste of blood. But the substitute was even worse. The next patient doubled over, clutching his stomach as he violently coughed. His eyes were bloodshot, and his tears were...red. It took a while, but I quickly—and painlessly—got rid of him, too.*

*Somehow, modification after modification, it kept getting worse and worse. Patients violently falling ill, their symptoms worse than the person before them, and several patients even dying before I could get rid of them myself.*

*The others were right. I am too ambitious for my own good.*

-----

Kaveri looked at the file in disgust.

“So many casualties…” Oliver said, equally as horrified. “So many casualties, just for a botched experiment…” Tears filled his eyes as he balled up his fists in anger. “My brother is a horrible person.”

“Well, clearly,” I said. “How did he even manage to complete this in the first place?”

——

file_Success:

*After countless days and countless appointments and countless modifications….I did it.*

*I finally created the Blood Candy.*

*Turns out, the first few ingredients I had substituted just needed to be combined. Though, now I’m kind of annoyed that we lost around forty potential meals because I didn’t think of that the first time. But that’s not my concern. Forty lost meals will be nothing in comparison to what this new invention will bring us. We’ll make all of it up and then some.*

*Now, to test it out.*

------

We were out of words at this point, staring at the computer in horror. I’m not sure what it was or how it happened or why I was only just now realizing what was happening, but then it dawned on me the situation I was truly in.

I was facing a real vampire, an actual person that literally consumes blood for a living. This man was nothing more than a demon that dared to wrap itself in human skin.

And now my best friend had just been turned into one.

My best friend, my conspiracy partner-in-crime willingly turned himself into a bloodsucking demon to feed an ambition he was forced into.

But it wasn’t fear I felt...if I just play my cards right, I could avoid any real danger. Hell, I took a reflex hammer to Jasper’s head. That alone gave me enough confidence to face whatever I had to in order to save my friends.

Whatever fear I felt was immediately overtaken by anger. This monster had made a monster out of my friend, and I was getting sick of seeing people get screwed over by Jasper.

We just skipped straight to Dakota’s file.

——

file_Dakota:

*A kid came into my office today. His name was Dakota Foster, and he goes to North Clueham High—the same school Kaveri goes to.*

*With Dakota under my control, I could easily have him find Kaveri and bring her to Thorne, who’s absolutely hellbent on seeing her dead. Every time I tried to ask him why, he shot me a bone-chilling glare...though I think it may have something to do with his younger brother, Wendigo--again.*

*Some days, I envy Thorne and the lengths he will go to defend his younger brother.*

*I wish that I could feel the same way about my own.*

*Unfortunately, when I offered Dakota the candy…he didn’t take it. At least, not at first. Apparently he ‘hates sweets’ or whatever, which sounds like total bull, but I guess that’s the case for some people. But who wouldn’t willingly take candy, and free candy at that? No matter…the kid said he’d give it to his friend Sebastian, who likes sweets more than he does.*

*Hopefully this ‘Sebastian’ character will be useful to us.*

*For the sake of Thorne not killing me on sight, he better be.*

“Funny,” I said, “at the end of the day, this is just about protecting their own kind.”

“That doesn’t make it right!” Kaveri cried. “They’re still hurting people!

“They’re hurting me!” Oli cried. “They’re hurting Seb! They’re hurting Dakota! They even hurt Kaveri! And they might hurt you, too!”

“I told you, kid, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

“You clearly aren’t!” I cried. “Why are you putting yourself at risk for us? For me?”

Kaveri sighed.

“Because I have to,” she said. “You and Dakota wouldn’t be able to last without me, no matter how many conspiracies you and your now-bloodthirsty friend crank out.”

I turned away from her. Not that I didn’t appreciate her help, but I knew this was probably going to be the last time we ever talked. Like she said, she was going to go back to shutting herself out once this was all over. This was out of obligation, and that was it.

But then I realized...what made her more qualified than us to deal with Jasper and Seb?

“Kaveri,” I said. “Why did you leave? Tell me the truth.”

“Why does it matter?” she asked. “We need to stay focused on the task at hand.”

“If...if this doesn’t go as planned...I just wanna know. Why did you leave?”

Kaveri tried to ignore me, but I knew her better than that.

“Family emergency,” she lied. “I already told you.”

“But there’s more. What happened? Did someone die?!” I cried.

“Just can it already!” she finally shouted. “I can’t tell you...I can’t get you involved.”

“If it’s about...this,” I said, shaking with rage, “then I’m already involved.”

“Can’t we just talk later?!”

“There probably won’t be a later!”

“I told you, we’re gonna be fine! I can take him!”

“How do I even know I can trust you?! How do I know I can count on you to keep us safe?!”

“Because I spent a year learning to defend the human race!” she finally admitted.

I stood in stunned silence. I almost forgot Oli was with us, only remembering when I turned to find him equally as shocked, yet...hopeful.

“Kaveri--” I started, before she cut me off.

“Don’t.” She didn’t face me.

“Let’s be honest,” I said. “I was gonna find out anyways. Kaveri, you can’t keep hiding from me. I’m…or…I was…your friend. Whatever this is, I’m willing to go through it with you. Especially if it means saving my friends. So please. Stop pushing me away.”

I swear that I saw tears well up in her eyes, but she wiped them off.

“I shouldn’t have let you come with me,” she sighed. “I should’ve just did this myself. Arthur Thorne is...a very powerful person. My family’s been trying to hunt down him and his younger brother Wendigo for ages. And now I’m next in line to do what they failed to do for generations. That’s why I had to leave school, though it’s also because they found out I went to North Clueham. This entire project...I think they’ve been aiming to kill me, and take whoever they can in the school.”

Again, I found myself in stunned silence, tears forming in my eyes, too. All this time, I resented Kaveri for leaving me. Truth be told, she just wanted to protect me.

I owed her big-time.

“Kaveri, this is my friend--no--my friends we’re talking about. If they’re in danger, I’m getting myself involved, and I don’t care what anyone else has to say about it. I can help you! Seb and I can use our skills to blow the lid off this entire Blood Candy project!”

“I’ve been fighting these things for around a year,” she retorted, “I think I know what I’m talking about when I say you should’ve stayed back.”

“Well, sucks to be you...no pun intended...Because here I am.”

I turned to Oliver, ignoring whatever hateful look she shot at me.

“So, what now?” he asked me.

Suddenly, we heard a banging on the door.

“They’re in here!” an older woman said.

“There’s more?!” a male voice complained.

“Probably!” a younger male voice said, “unless Vigil is a really good voice actress.”

“Shut up and open the door!” the woman yelled.

“Hide!” Kaveri whispered, and slipped into a nearby closet with a much faster speed than normal.

Unfortunately, Oliver and I weren’t so lucky. In our panic, we spent far too much time searching for a hiding spot. Kaveri had taken the only good one in sight.

A trio of hooded vampires barged in and immediately caught sight of us. They had mysterious tattoos on their palm, and it looked like it was supposed to be the fangs of a beast. They went behind us and placed their marked palms on our necks, sending a sharp pain through me that soon subsided as the world around me turned black.

[Chapter 10]

I walked down the empty, dim hall, catching my breath as I silently thanked Kaveri for saving my life. Akira and Oliver should be okay, I figured, but then I remembered something...

“This hospital is one of the main headquarters of Clueham’s top vampire guild,” Kaveri explained earlier. How did she know all of this? If I hadn’t known any better, I would’ve said she was a conspiracy theorist, too, and that’s the real reason Akira and Kaveri stopped talking. Rival conspiracy theorists were a thing, right?

Focus, Dakota! I thought to myself. You have a raging redhead vampire to find. But...where even was Seb?

The video Oli showed us had Seb in Jasper’s office...but I didn’t know where that was.

As I ran down the hall looking for Seb, I saw two “doctors” wearing surgical masks wheeling two patients on stretchers past me on both sides. Though the patients’ bodies were mostly covered, I still had enough information as to just how screwed I actually was.

In the precious few seconds I had to look at the two patients, I noticed only two things—the bite marks on their sickly pale necks, and the police caps resting over their faces. For a moment I was confused--then I drew my attention back to the police caps as the “patients” were wheeled away.

It can’t be...I thought. I wasn’t certain, but I did have a very bad feeling as to who those cops were.

“I called the police station for updates on the investigation,” my mom messaged me earlier. “They said that they’re gonna have to put it on hold for right now; they haven’t heard back from the officers that came by the house last night, so they’re trying to get in touch with them.”

Of course it was, I thought. It had to be. Like Jasper said, he couldn’t let anything happen to his new ‘colleague.’

This can’t go on like this. I have to snap Sebs out of this...trance...as soon as possible.

Against my better judgement, I aimed for the risky--yet probably more efficient--solution:

“SEBS!” I yelled, my voice bouncing off the walls. “WHERE ARE YOU?!”

I peered inside the glass windows of some of the rooms, thinking Seb must be hiding in there. Finally, I came to one of the rooms towards the end of the hall. The lights were shut off, but there appeared to be a figure sitting down--presumably dead or asleep--in one of the chairs. I narrowed my eyes, trying to see into the dark past my own reflection...when a blade was suddenly held to my throat.

I froze.

I turned around slowly, to find Seb with his black jacket, spiraling eyes, and the most malicious grin I have ever seen on his face.

“Look, buddy,” I said with feigned confidence, “you really don’t have to do this. I’m your friend. We know how this goes, we’ve both seen movies--you actually do try to kill me, then some rousing heartfelt speech or lovely memories of the time we spent together suddenly pops into your head and then you revert back to normal, then we can all go home and--”

Seb buried the knife into my shoulder. I cried out in pain, clutching my shoulder as I fell on my knees.

“...guess that’s out of the question…” I said. I watched in disgust as he went to lick the knife again, looking me square in the eyes as if to say, “this is who I am now.”

Then he stopped himself, shaking his head, and pocketing the knife into a sheath. The sheath had red, glowing markings when the knife was inserted in, and when he pulled it back out, the markings faded and the blades were completely clean.

What weird alien technology were these vampires using? I thought. If all of us manage to live through this experience somehow, then AkiSeb is gonna have one hell of a conspiracy.

I stood up, holding onto my bleeding shoulder.

“Why are you doing this, dude?” I asked. “You don’t have to listen to them. We’ve been friends for ages.”

Seb just gave me a blank stare, then smiled. He started to giggle, then gave me a chilling answer—or a question, rather:

“You believe me now...don’t you?”

And with that, he struck me with the blade again.

Or he would have, had I not grabbed the blade with my hand itself.

Counterproductive, yes, and my hand hurt like the devil, but it was either this or the blade goes into my neck.

“You know what?” I hissed, “fine. If you don’t want to listen, then I’ll make you listen.”

I punched Seb across the face. He let go of the knife and held on to his face. I took this opportunity to go for the knife--but Seb stomped on my hand without looking, bruising my ring and pinky fingers.

Fortunately, that wasn’t even my good hand.

As I recoiled away from the blow, Seb grabbed the knife. I rammed him into the opposite wall, but he kicked me backwards. My head banged into the glass, leaving cracks in it. He then threw the knife at me, but I managed to move out of the way in time, just as the knife landed right in the center of where I had banged my head on the glass. I stared at the knife in horror, thanking every god in the pantheon that I was even alive right now.

My prayers were interrupted when Seb grabbed my neck and threw me to the floor, pressing my head against the ground as he prepared to sink his small fangs in the exposed area of my neck. I kicked at Seb, punched him with my good arm, spat in his face, whatever I could do to get him off of me. But he was relentless. His bloodlust had consumed him completely. And with each time I tried to resist, his small grew closer and closer to my neck.

I almost wanted to give in. I almost wanted him to just get it over with already. I was human; he was a vampire. I was weaker than him.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps storming down the hall. I fought against Seb harder, but he seemed to gain a sudden boost in strength. He even risked a temporary glance in the direction of the storming footsteps--which I could only pray belonged to a potential savior.

Finally, he head-butted me, then took the opening I had left to sink his fangs into my neck. I screamed in pain, pushing Seb backwards—and into a sharp, wooden rod.

Kaveri had just come up behind him and staked him through the heart.

“SEBASTIAN!” I cried as he rolled off of me. “Kaveri, what the hell?!”

Kaveri looked up at me with furious eyes.

“He was trying to hurt you,” she said in a broken voice. “I had to.”

I had so many words I wanted to say to her…to Seb…but my words got caught in my throat. I collapsed to my knees near Seb, searching in his eyes for any signs of life. The peppermint swirl in his eyes slowed to a halt. His mouth gaped open slightly, just wide enough so I could see that his fangs had retracted.

His vampire side was gone.

But so was his human side.

I only came to this realization after spending who-knows-how-long screaming and crying and shaking my friend’s lifeless body, begging for him to wake up. Kaveri pulled me upwards, telling me to let go, he was gone, there’s nothing we can do, I had to, I’m sorry, please forgive me…

But I couldn’t. I had to, but I couldn’t. She saved me...and ruined my life. I turned around to face her, still on my knees.

Through my clouded vision, I could see nothing but the indigo mass of Kaveri’s sweater and the blood stained on her stake.

Seb’s blood.

I wiped my eyes, looking back at my fallen friend’s body. I stared into his lifeless eyes, the peppermint spiral fading. My breath quickened, my heart raced, as I realized…

“You lied to me,” I said, looking up at my best friend’s murderer.

“How?” she asked.

“You said you would help me.”

“I also said that if you didn’t want him to be a vampire, you’d have to kill him. Pretty sure the first thing you’d wish for in that kind of situation is for him not to be a vampire.”

“I don’t care if he’s a vampire,” I hissed, standing up. “I care if he’s my friend.”

“He tried to kill you!” Kaveri cried.

“You said you would save him!”

“I had no CHOICE, Dakota!”

“You did and you chose to KILL HIM.” I found myself storming towards her.

“Get a hold of yourself,” Kaveri said, pointing the bloody stake at me.

I knocked the stake out of her hand.

“I’m gonna need that, y’know,” she said. She picked it up and put it in her sheath. “Please...I know you hate me right now, but you unfortunately kind of need me to defeat Jasper.” She gestured to the bloody stake. “Unless you want it, of course.”

I shot a glare at her.

“Fine,” I said. “After this, I never want to see you again.”

Kaveri just shrugged.

“Deal,” she said. “Let’s just get this over with.”
