Misery Ch.3 Bullies...
#3 of Misery
Here's chapter 3
Here it is... Chapter three... I'm sorry it's taking long to submit these short chapters... But, um... There getting longer at least...
This is where the creature is partially revealed... Yes I know the way I did it was... What best describes it..? Awful... And that I could have done it a lot sooner... And better... But... I just got tired of calling it "Friend" and "Creature" So I just rushed the part --_--
Sorry... But I'm pretty sure everyone was sick of it too... And I also know it's name is a horrible pick... But... Ugh, I'm a bad writer okay?
And again... Go ahead and give an honest review. If there is anything. Just go ahead and point it out... Even if it's an entire comment of hatred. I just want to know what to improve on.
One more thing... This is to my watchers... If this isn't your kind of story, then... You can un-watch. I'll understand... Cause it's gonna get a lot darker...
Riley was in his 'blank' stage. When he's blank. He's half asleep, and half awake. He does this to pass time. Go through school. And forget his existance... He doesn't think of anything at all, when in this stage.
"Hey... You sleeping?"
Riley grunted. He didn't even open his eyes. He just ignored the voice and carried on with his blankness. (Is that even a word? Sry for adding this...)
"Riley..." The Eevee shot his eyes open and glared at the person who was bothering him... Joseph...
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" He said harshly "Sorry... Just wanted to tell you it's lunchtime"
Riley widened his eyes. He was shocked. But also felt relief. He got up and ran into the tree's. Passing a few of his classmates. And quickly got off school grounds.
After running for a couple minutes. Riley slowed down and just walked the rest of the way.
As he was heading to his destination. He thought why time flew by faster than usual. Way faster... Nonetheless, the day was already half done. So he didn't care much about it.
When he finally arrived at the area where he'd meet with the creature. He looked around.. Saw no sign of it "Come on... Show up" He slowly walked to a tree and laid down against it... Waiting again... In a matter of seconds. His friend appeared.
"I thought you wanted to meet after school..." The creature mentioned. Riley turned and saw the dark figure "I know, but... I forgot about lunch" The creature chuckled "So let's go get lunch then" Riley jumped up and joined the creature. After some walking, It decided to have a chat.
"Riley... Let me ask you something" It said, turning to the Eevee
"Yeah..." He commented. Letting his friend continue.
"What evolution are you gonna choose?" It asked him. Making Riley sigh after hearing that.
"Don't know, don't care" He said. Not even into the conversation anymore. The creature smiled at him "Riley, this is one of those things where you have to care"
Riley stopped walking and got speechless. He knew whatever he'd say would be pointless... He looked up at the sky. Which was grey now... How he loved the sky when it was grey. And whe- Riley gritted his teeth in pain.
His friend jabbed him in the shoulder with one of it's claws. Sticking it halfway into him. It then dug the nail in deeper. Making him yelp "W..What are you doing?" The creature was smiling evilly. After it's entire nail pierced Riley. It pulled out, leaving a small gash.
"What the hell was that?!" Riley yelled, shoving the creature away. After putting his paw on his wound. He saw the creature put the bloodied claw in it's mouth. Sucked it's nail, then chuckled "Did you just yelp..? And scream?" It said, snickering.
"Why did you do that?!" He screamed at the creature "No reason" Was it's simple reply. It wasn't taking the situation seriously. But Riley was disturbed.
"Oh come on... You hafto admit. This wasn't the first time we've done something like that" It said, trying to calm down the Eevee "Yeah. But look what you did!" Riley turned slightly, and let go of his gash. Revealing the blood soaked fur.
"...It's just a little blood. No matter..." Riley looked at his fur and the blood on his paw. Then glared madly at the creature "I'm fucking drenched in blood!" He screamed again. Making the creature laugh.
"Ooo, tough guy... Riley... Calm down, there's not that much blood. You're just freaking out cause your hurt" Riley looked at his fur and paw again. Then went back to searching, deliberately ignoring the creature.
Half an hour later...
"I can't believe we still haven't found anything! ... Again!" Riley roared in the air. The creature was laughing at his reaction "I sure did get you addicted didn't I?" The Eevee turned to glare at The creature.
"You're not helping" His comment made the creature smirk "I've helped you a lot Riley... I've helped you with this little habit. And I'm helping you now"
"How are you helping me now?" Riley said, getting more serious "By telling you it's time to go back to school" He stared for a moment. Then sighed "All my life, you've just made things more complicated..." Those words made the creature serious as well.
"Hey, you chose to listen for all these years. Don't fucking blame me" It started to argue.
"But I can blame you!" He yelled back.
"Really? How? What exactly is it that I'm doing..? Go on, tell me!" Riley didn't say anything. He didn't know what to bring up, or where to start... He looked back at his shoulder where the creature cut him. His fur was still red with blood.
"What about this?" He said, turning slightly. The creature just stared at him "Aww... A little cut, and some blood... You're kidding me right?" Riley glared at the creature... He's had it "..Go away Damon. I don't wanna see you anymore..."
"Heh... That's bullshit Riley, and you know it... You'll be calling back for me. And when you do. I'll be expecting an apology" With that. Damon walked deeper into the forest... Disappearing... He was right though. Riley would call back for him... He... Needed him...
Riley went on his way to the lake to wash the blood on his fur. He'd probably be late again for school... But of course, he didn't care... On his way there, he was trying to get his mind off things... Trying to forget about Damon and carry on with the day... Just to wait for the next... He sighed...
'Why does everything suck?' He thought in his head... Just moments later. He heard a voice call out to him "Hey, Riley"
"No..." He whispered to himself... As soon as Riley turned around. He felt like he wanted to die right there... He saw a group of Eevee's... There were five. He immediately saw Joseph and Wyatt. Joseph was at the side of the group. Staring at him like something bad was about to happen... And Wyatt was next to him... Who had a smirk on his face.
Another two which he didn't pay much attention, were Sam and Ace. Both were smiling too... But he didn't focus on them... It was the one at the center who he had his eyes on... Caleb... Riley knew his intentions. And just stood still... Dead silent.
"Was that screaming from you, Riley? Mind telling me what that was about?" Caleb demanded, who was the leader of the group. He started walking towards Riley. Making the rest follow... But Riley didn't move... When he was face to face with Riley. The group kept there distance.
"Well..? Say something you little bitch" Caleb tackled the Eevee. Making him fall over... As he fell, Riley slammed the side of his head on the ground... He still didn't do anything...
Riley held his paw against his head to stop it from ringing. He felt a bit dazed... He looked up from the ground and saw Caleb standing over him.
"Get up..." Riley heard those words, and completely disobeyed. This pissed off Caleb, and made him tackle Riley again.
"I said get up!" He yelled over him. His friends cheering him on. But Joseph watched silently... Caleb tackled Riley again. This time making him cough. Hearing that was like music to his ears.
He leaned in closer to Riley "Are you gonna get up n-" He stopped there in mid-sentence, because he noticed the dried blood on his fur "What the fuck is this..? Who's been hurting you without my permission?!"
Caleb's friends laughed at his comment... But they were a little confused on what he meant.
"Answer me!" He screamed in Riley's face... He didn't scare Riley, he only bothered him. But Caleb had to keep showing he's tough... Before he could tackle him while he's down once more. Riley used sand-attack, right in Caleb's eyes. Blinding him of course.
Riley quickly took advantage of the situation, and tackled him to the ground as well. Taking pleasure as he did so... Before he could continue fighting back. Caleb's friends rushed in and charged at Riley.
Ace was the first to meet him. He used quick attack after all... Cause he was the only Eevee that learnt it early... Right after he was hit with quick attack. Wyatt hit him with a tackle. Then Sam pinned him down. All of that happened while Joseph helped Caleb up.
Caleb wiped his eyes with his paw. And barely opened them to take a look at Riley... Noticing he's helpless. His anger turned to vengeance "You're gonna regret that Riley"
It's been a long time... Since Riley last feared Caleb...
