Chester & Ashly: Book 1

Chapter 3: Reunion

Pg. 8

~PREVIOUSLY~

"And you knew that he would hunt you down if you returned, so you went to your old tree, with the very large opening in-between the roots, curled up into a ball and cried yourself to sleep."

~PRESENT TIME~

It has been two years since you've left Chester (17YRS OLD) and to be honest you've already forgotten all about him AND the sewer, which was a bad thing because on Tuesday afternoon it was raining which was normal for the town of Derry. But the storm was so bad a lightning bolt struck your tree and the tree was falling in YOUR direction!

~STRIKE, TREE BREAKING, TREE FALLING TOWARDS YOU~

~JUMPED INTO THE SEWER IN PANIC AND LANDED ON YOUR LEG~ AHH! OW! F....... Fiddlesticks

~THE TREE CRUSHED THE OPENING TO THE SEWER ENCLOSING YOU INSIDE, FOREVER TRAPPING YOU INSIDE~ *COVERING YOURSELF FROM THE FALLING DEBRIS*

(ASHLY) Oh no! N-Not here, not now!

Seeing the sewer once again brought back a very terrible memory of what happened between you and Chester when you were 15. You had to get out of there you just had to, because you knew he would be coming down here any minute to see what caused the damage. As you looked around to try to find a hiding spot, there was nothing but walls and 2 tunnels that either led to Chester or somewhere else, and just as you predicted you started to hear rather heavy footsteps coming from the distance, so you took your chance and stood flat against the wall hoping he wouldn't see you.

(CHESTER) *VERY FURIOUS AT THE DISTURBANCE THAT CAUSE YOU TO WAKE UP, BUT WAS SHOOK AT THE SIGHT OF A TREE THAT HAD BROKEN THROUGH THE SEWER* My God... That storm out there must've been pretty *CHUCKLES* dangerous... *NOTICED RIPPED FABRIC WITH BLOOD ON IT DANGLING FROM A BRANCH* Wait a minute... *SNIFFING, THEN SLIGHTLY GASPED* No... it can't be her. I sent her away 2 years ago and threatened to kill her if she ever came back.

~ASHLY'S POV~

The rest was a blur because you were stupid enough not to notice that your neck was slashed open by a tree branch when you jumped into the sewer, but you fell unconscious with a loud and obvious thump.

~THUMP~

(Pg.9)

~CHESTER'S POV~

As I kept looking at the fabric I heard a deep thud of a body falling to the left of me, I was hoping the person was dead because I was starting to get extremely hungry. But as I approached the unconscious body I began to recognize the blood smell and the fear that was floating through the air... As I got closer I ALMOST immediately cried because it was Ashly. I was almost happy to see her again but I shook off that thought because I still hated her enough to STILL want to murder her.

As I got closer to see why she was unconscious, I felt really, really awful because her neck was slashed open about 2 inches deep, blood was everywhere and what was in her hand made me realize, "I really fucked up this time." When I picked up her delicate, small, precious body I felt so disgusted with myself because it's my fault that she's in this position and I wanted her back so bad, but thankfully the dark-side of me wants to forgive her and protect her again. When I put her down I held her face and started crying...

(CHESTER) Ashly... Oh my sweet, precious, little Ashly, this is ALL my fault, if only you didn't see what happened 2 years ago because what I said about was not towards you. Excuse my language but was fucked up not to tell you HOW I do things before I "attack" humans. I'm so sorry precious, I'm going to fix you and make you better again and hopefully you will want to see me because I've missed having you here comforting me when I'm going through my "evil-phase," I've missed you snuggling against me when you have nightmares, just... everything about you I missed.

~ASHLY'S POV~

Little did he know I was conscious the ENTIRE. TIME. And I've missed him terribly, it touched my heart when he said all of that and I wanted to forgive him, but I was so weak from all of the blood loss that all I wanted to do was sleep. But I tried get his attention but all that came out was,

(ASHLY) Ch-Chester... c-come b-back...

(Pg.10)

Chester heard you and he ran as soon as you said the word "Chester." He grabbed you rather quickly but gently and he started kissing all over your face until you grabbed his large face and brought his lips to yours, it felt so good to be kissed by your monster again and believe it or not you've missed calling him 'Daddy.'

(CHESTER) *AFTER ONE MORE BIG KISS ON HER SWEET, DELICIOUS LIPS* Oh my sweet baby girl, it's been too long and I don't care about what I said because I would never hurt you on purpose.

(ASHLY) *STARTING TO CRY* I know and I heard everything you said.

(CHESTER) *EMBARRASSED* Y-You did! Ashly I-

(ASHLY) Baby it's okay. *LIFTED HIS FACE* I've already forgiven you, but I'M the one who should be sorry.

(CHESTER) Why? You've done nothing wro-

(ASHLY) YES I HAVE! *SIGH* Sorry... I broke the ONE thing you gave me out of anger and the moment I did I WAS relieved, but not anymore and... I feel so ashamed and disgusted with myself that I understand why you wanted to kill me, I deserve it honestly... you know, to be killed.

(CHESTER) *KISSED YOUR BABY* No you do not young lady. What YOU deserve is a lot of attention from me, but firstly, *HELD OUT THE WAS-BROKEN-BUT-NOW-FIXED-NECKLACE* Will you accept my offer to be mine forever? And I promise I will change my ways, i'll even find a way to become human... Please... I want my princess back.

(ASHLY) *GAVE HIM THE 'CUTE SMILE' THAT HE LOVES* And I want my daddy back, so *SNIFF* yes I ACCEPT to be your princess again... forevermore, and I want you to stay yourself; monster-self, because I feel safe around him cause I know he would do ANYTHING to protect me.

After he put the necklace on you, he picked you up and carried you to the large area where his circus stage was, and when he sat you down he put his hand on your cheek, and wiped a tear from your eye telling you to,

(CHESTER) Baby don't cry, your with me now and *CLEARED YOUR THROAT*

You knew right away he was giving you a "hey, warning my voice is about to become, y'know scary sounding," so you gave him a nod of approval to speak because you knew he wanted to sound serious... what ever he was going to say that is.

(CHESTER) *VOICE BECAME SCARY, MORE LIKE TERRIFYING TO LISTEN TO* And no human of any sort is going to take MY baby away from me, *GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY, BUT THANKFULLY SHE NOTICED AND WAS PREPARED* Because if they do *EVIL CHUCKLE* they will die like THEY did 11yrs ago, and I'm not afraid to do it.

He showed you the rows of dead-hanging people like he showed the-now-dead-girl and you didn't realize until it was too late that he backed you up against the wall, and pinned you against it. You knew he was trying to not hurt or scare you he just wanted YOU to know he was DEAD-SERIOUS about killing anything that took you from him.

(CHESTER) *STILL TALKING SCARY-LIKE, WHILE CORNERING ASHLY AGAINST THE WALL* Cause what I'll do to them is something that I can't have YOU seeing my pretty. But you need to understand that when I get angry, I get scary and most likely will get hungry from the fear, *SLAMMED YOU HAND AGAINST THE WALL PREVENTING ASHLY TO MOVE* cause what I'm doing right now is causing your fear to increase and- and *STOMACH GROWLED PAINFULLY*... I-I don't f-feel so g-good.

~DEEP THUD~

As you stood there processing what he said you realized that Chester's never passed-out before unless he was... oh no. As you ran up to him you could tell he was out cold and you heard his stomach growl which meant he was starving, which ALSO means that's what caused him to pass out, so you went up to the surface with a knife, stabbed a 17yr old boy you found immediately and dragged him back down to the sewer where Chester remained unconscious.

(ASHLY) *TRYING TO WAKE HIM UP* CHESTER! WAKE UP! (3X) Please... before this teenage boy wakes up.
