the vacuum's brother [books 1 & 2]

chapter 3: fight fire with fire

"Shoney! What the hell is this?" I yelled.

Shoney froze. He couldn't move because of the corpse in his....mouth.

I shuffled over and kind of pulled Dave's remains out of Shoney's mouth.

"I don't know what happened, I just....can you help move this corpse?" Shoney began.

I froze, throwing my metal hands in the air and turning around.

"You know what? Dave was my friend! You need to get yourself under control! I don't know why you did this you....you fool! Rot in Vacuum hell! And if you want that corpse up you can get it up yo damn self!!"

Shoney looked devastated at my harsh words. Maybe I crossed the line. After a while of staying in my room I returned to the kitchen to see Dave's corpse gone . Shoney was sitting on the couch and One Tree Hill was on.

"Shoney, can I talk to you?" I asked.

Shoney frowned and said, "Yeah."

He moped behind me to Dave's old bedroom.

"Look, why did you kill Dave? He was my best friend....he was just a boy," I said.

Shoney looked around the room. "That's a nice shade of blue on the wall..."

"SHONEY! IM TRYNA TALK TO YOU!" I screamed in Shoney's face.

Shoney's eyebrows raised. "I am sorry. Can you just please forgive me?"

I sighed. "I want to know why you did it."

Shoney answered, "Forgive me."

I threw my hands in the air. "Your forgiven....okay. Just please if one more thing happens you will be to blame."

Shoney nodded and I walked outside to use the restroom. But I could've swore, and it might've been my imagination, I heard Shoney whisper something.

"Isn't forgiveness what brothers are for?" Shoney smiled deviously.
