Chapter 12
(Foxy’s POV)
“Foxy! Where’s my Switch!!!” Mars yelled half way through the house.
“IT'S MINE NOW!!” I yell back huddling in a hiding place. “MY PRECIOUS!”
“Give it backkkk~. I wanna play Skyrim and kill dragons~!”
“Mine…” I whine, Z never lets me have video games, he says they’re bad for my attention span. I play for a bit more until my hiding spot has light, revealing Mars.
“Ding Dong I have found you~. Ding dong you were hiding here~”
“Now your it?”
“Yep! Ya know that song?!” She smiled, sitting down next to me.
“Yeah, Z sang it to me when we were playing hide and seek,almost pissed myself” I say cringing at the memory, I begrudgingly give her the switch back. She hold it to her chest protectively.
“Oh~ My baby is back~!” She said, hugging it close to her. “ Farkas, hun. I’m coming home!”
“OK, enough of your fantasy world.” I said, trying to stop… whatever was happening. She laughs as she stands up.
“ Come and join the world.” She holds out her hand, Fell’s oversized jacket almost covering it. She smiled, making me feel better. “ Trust me, it will be worth it.” I sighed and took her hand. Mars always makes me feel better or always finds a way to get me back to the others. She just can’t stop herself from helping people, especially me and…my voices. I got them years ago when my dad used to hit me, he locked me in the basement and thats the first time I heard them
“You need to escape…” They said, it kept repeating the phrase till I felt myself banging my head against the cold rock wall. Blood was in my eyes and I couldnt even see much. My mom walked down there to let me out, she was crying when she saw my bloody face from beating my head against the wall.
“Preston what happened?!” She screamed, I guess my dad heard her cause he ran down there, I just sat there glad the voices had disappeared.
“The brat, got what he deserved I guess,” Dad says shrugging. Mom lunged at him and dad slapped her away and she fell beside me. The voices suddenly came back,
“Hurt him, hurt him, hurt him.” They got louder and louder till I lunged at dad he went to slap me as well but I dodged grabbing his arm and swinging him over my shoulder slamming him to the ground. He coughs up a but of blood and looks at me, I suddenly realize what I had done, I backed up against the wall as he gets up coming at me slowly. I look at him in terror, why cant I bring myself to hurt him again? Was I under some control thing? He slaps me and my face goes sideways, he opens the basement door and lets me out telling me to cover the mark up. I run out of there as fast as I can and lock myself in my room. I grab the secret phone that Z had given me before he left when. I text him quickly
F: Guys, I need help its my dad again
M: I’m on my f*cking way right now.
Z: Im busy with something, but ill be over tomorrow~
M: Z, come on stop pretending you have a boyfriend.
Z: What do you mean pretending?!
M: Y know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Z: B-but I love him~
F: What are y’all talking about?
M: Nothing I’m coming over though.
F: Okay, come to the window.
I hide the phone under the mattress and wait by the window opening it up. Marissa had crawled in and sat by me.
“Foxy, you doing ok?”
“V-voices started appearing i-in my head…I cant get them out, they just get louder and aggressive…My head hurts…” I say rubbing the spot I banged my head.
“Here,” She had handed me a tea and told me to drink it, I take the drink and sip some of it. It was actually pretty good, I drank more of it till I felt calm. “You better”
“Y-yeah, I dont hear them anymore.”
“Good, I’ glad that helped. That tea helped me sleep when I was younger.”
“C-can you stay the night?”
“Yeah, of course.” I give her a hug and sit back on my bed.
“I’ve been thinking of changing my name…” I say thinking out loud.
“To what? Ashton? Eric? Daimon? Trump?” SHe looked at me and smiled, “Chase”
“F-foxy…”
“I like that name.”
All the memories came back to me. She helped me through everything. I finally take her hand as she lifts me up. “Now, let’s go kick a poor Jaden!!!” Marissa said, the hood of her jacket going oveer her eyes. I sit there for a bit remembering some more and then laughing and going with her.
“YES!!” I say getting out of the hiding spot. We go out into the living room, Jaden was playing the new Security Breach game, he was at the beginning. He was loving the free roam though. Marissa crouched down to crawl to him, going behind him and doing her best attempt at her golden freddy scream. He jumped and almost threw his computer across the house.
“MARISSA SERIOUSLY?! NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME!”
“Yes! It’s funny.” She said, sitting down, looking around. “Where’s my skeley?”
“He went out to get dinner for tonight at Grillby’s” Caden says, he was hanging with Stormy and Tyler.
“Ok!” She said, getting up and falling onto the couch. I suddenly hear the voices again, they were coming back strong, I havent heard them for a month what makes them come back now?!
“Hurt them~ Come back to me Preston, you know its your fate” It was like they were screaming at me. I covered my ears but it only made them louder, I start a quiet whimper.
“What’s wrong with you foxy?” Caden said.
“N-nothing just t-too loud.” I lie I saw Marissa perk up, worry in her eyes.
“Don't deny us, don't push us down.” The voices screamed and I flinched and fell down into a fetal position. My whimper got louder till I was practically screaming. She rushed over to me and gave me the tea. I was shaking so much I could barely hold the cup, the tea splashed everywhere but I did get some of it, the voices got quieter to where I could handle them, but not completely gone. I was crying in pain. I saw Marissa take off her hood, her eyes kinda red and there was red mist around. I don’t think she realizes that she is doing that. Suddenly the voices disappeared.I heard a gasp and Caden ran over and pointed at Mars.
“It was you, I saw you before I came here! To the living!!” Marissa jumped and looked at him.
“Huh? What are you talking about? I didn’t bring anyone back to life.”
“You were the person I saw when I was brought back, your face!”
“You have to be on some serious drugs dude.” Her eyes finally went back to their normal color and she put her hood back on.
“I swear, please believe me!!”
“Look. I don’t have the ability to bring things back to life. If i did i would have resurrected my real mother and father a long time ago. I’m sorry but I don’t think I did that.”
“I swear it was you!!”
“Ok…” She got up to go back to the couch. “I’m just gonna escape into my world of Skyrim now.”
“Me join chu?!” I say running over
“Yeah, sure. I’ll make an account for you.” She said, going onto Skyrim. I played for a few hours, me being an High-Elf. I hear the door open and see Fell and Z come in.
“Hello travasties!!!” Z yelled.
“No, it’s ‘Hello! You absolute travasties!!!” Marissa yelled, laughing. “ We’ve gone over this Z.”
“Whatever! Just grab the food, and catch me up on what happened while we were gone.” Marissa looked at me then at Z and Fell.
“Umm…do yu really want to-”
“SHe’s the one who brought me back to life!” Caden yelled again. Marissa turned to him, still confused.
“No I did not. You are on some fentanyl laced drugs man.”
“I am sober, you can test me all you want, even the game lie detector.”
“What about for Idioitous?” She said, smiling. “That’s a dangerous one that a lot of people do.”
“Fine, I'll do it!”
“Dude, I was joking!”
“Anything to prove im telling the truth!”
“What the hell?” Z said, confused.
“Is he on crack?” Fell says.
“Maybe.” Marissa said, getting up and hugging him. He hugs her back kissing her neck and i’m just standing there waiting on Z. I got a little depressed…he usually always greets me with a hug or kiss.
“OKay, if im on crack, how do I know she had one red eye and one black?”
I look at Mars confused, I walk over to Z nuzzling his arm for a hug. He puts his arm over my shoulder. I looked back to see Marissa was scared.
“M-mars you okay?”
“How do you know what my eyes are for my out of control form”
“I saw them when I came back to this world!”
“Wait…out of control form?!” All of us besides Caden and Marissa yelled. Marissa flinched and looked around.
“Umm…yeah…”
“What is that?” I ask
“Where….if I lose my sanity I turn into that…and if both eyes are black you can’t go back.”
“H-How do we prevent that?” Fell says
“I-I don’t know. I just somehow know that, but the thing is I don’t know when I lose my sanity. All I know is I lose a bit and my eyes go that color.”
“Did you loose you sanity with me?” I ask shyly..
“No.”
“T-Then what w-was that?” Caden asks.
Marissa looked at all of us and sighed. She messed with the jacket, looking nervous. She hasn’t done that in a long time. “Since I found out how I actually became who I am and the real reason why my mother and father were killed.”
