Blue Fire | Stickman story

Chapter 10

"Wake up, sleepyhead!"

The morning began with these words. Chain woke up and was ready to swear at the one who said it, or rather shouted, because the king himself decides when to get up. He turned and saw Red in front of him. All the anger went away immediately. How can you dare scream at this little ball of happiness?

"Everyone has already eaten and left, but you didn't woke up!" Red said indignantly. "I brought you something to eat."

"Thanks," Chain thanked him and took a plate with some kind of meat from Red's hands.

"You don't seem to like grass, or how do you say, so I brought some fish."

Chain nodded and took some fish in his mouth. The fish itself was a reddish orange, sprinkled with some kind of seasoning. The taste of the hot pepper fish made his mouth fill with saliva, because he didn't expect the fish to be really so tasty.

"I tried, really..." Red said quietly, looking away to the corner.

"It's awesome!"

"Oh, r-really?" Red looked at Chain in surprise. Their gazes crossed and Red quickly put his head down, but Chain managed to notice the blush on Red's cheeks.

"Are you okay Red? You're all red," Chain put a hand to Red's forehead and Red turned redder (if I may say so).

"Yes, I- I'm fine."

Chain decided not to argue and began to eat fish. He wondered if Red was always like this or not. And if the second, then what happened to him? Does something bother him? Can he still ask him about it or will he say about it himself? Probably he should give time, he'll tell himself if he needs it.

There was an awkward pause in the air. One ate, the other looked at him. This is all very interesting, but it's over. Chain ate everything and Red took the plate to the kitchen.

"Well... What are we going to do?" asked Ed. Chain just shrugged.

"Maybe... We should go to see others?" suggested Red.

He didn't say anything, so Red, thinking it was a positive answer, took him by the hand and led him to the main screen, where Blue and Purple were arguing about something.

"Are you guys fighting again?" Red asked, and without waiting for an answer, he pulled Blue away from Purple.

Meanwhile Chain, without realizing it, was once again lost in thought. Was this the life he wanted? Do your job, for which he was created, or suffer from the endless threats of the animator? Thinking about it, he didn't notice how he came to the Nether portal. The loud sound of the pig woke him up. He raised his head and looked around. What's here to watch? Here's is only 1 portal, where nothing has changed since his last visit.

"No, I have to decide, otherwise I'll continue to see him in my dreams," said Chain and went back to the main screen, where he left his friends.

When he arrived, as it turned out, the two had already made up and began to leave, while Red, apparently, was looking for our Russian.

"There you are, Red is looking for you," Alan wrote when he saw Chain.

Someone jumped on Chain, which didn't have time to answer. It turned out to be Red, who was hanging on his shoulders and didn't want to let him go.

"Isn't it too high for you?"

Red looked at him with all the indignation he could and jumped off him.

"You- You-!" But Red couldn't finish and ran away with indignant cries.

Chain smiled and noticed an open Google tab where there was news. Alan was apparently looking for something. Alan turned and left, apparently his wife called him. Chain took advantage of his temporary absence and decided to see what was being said on the news. A dog disappeared, a charity, someone beat someone... Nothing interesting. But something below attracted him. He scrolled down a little and... The cursor clicked on the news. Chain turned and saw Alan. He quickly came! Together they began to read the news.

(Next is a newspaper clipping)

Did a person die due to a ruptured heart or not?

Yesterday at 6:45 am there was a message that [address] was found a lifeless man, about 50-60 years old. The medical examiner ruled that the man was under alcoholic intoxication at the time of his death. The cause of death was sudden heart rupture. Experts say the heart rupture was due to external influences. They also claim that the gap is covered with semi-melted ice. Experts are still at a loss to answer where the ice came from.

(The end of news)

Alan didn't feel very well, for a long time there were no strange deaths in his area. He hoped it was a mistake, but deep down he felt it wasn't a mistake. Chain and Alan exchanged glances. Alan added a tab and started looking for similar news, if any was.

After several minutes of searching and correcting the text, he found similar deaths. Basically, they were all in Russia, St. Petersburg and Moscow. And they still don't understand what the hell is going on.

A thought appeared in Alan's head, but it was so absurd, so unreal, that he didn't even want to think about it. Alan noticed that Chain was no longer in place, but there was someone else.

"Hi Sec!" Alan typed. "I remember you said Chain wanted to leave, didn't you?"

"Hi, yes, he wanted to leave, but I managed to persuade him to stay here."

"Why did he want to leave? Did something happen?"

"I don't know, he just said he didn't want us to get hurt or anything like that."

"Where is he now?"

"He said he was going to Red. I don't know anything else. Bring him?"

"No, thanks for saying."

SC didn't understand why Alan was asking about Chain, but he didn't ask any more because he wouldn't say exactly why. Then he saw the anxiety in Alan's eyes and it was clearly not good.

"I must find Chain," such a thought flew through in Second's head and seeing nothing better, he went to look for Chain, which should be with Red.
