The Adventure of Finn and Val

Chapter 10; Not So Good Choices

Finn sighed he was on his third shot writing music in his room. Luke was nowhere to be found, but Singe had been sitting in the corner of his room watching in secret. Finn was all happy-go-lucky and taking shots basically every time he'd mess up a chord which at this point was a lot.

"You don't look so good, kid, your even messing me up." Singe chuckled and stood up. His face looked a bit grim, and showed little emotions. "Why must you do this? You know what Val would think if he found out. You're gonna hurt him..." Singe let out a sigh and grabbed Finn's bottle. "Will you stop this!?"

"What?" Finn giggled, "I'm just having some fun," his eyes flickered hot pink as he heard a little voice say,

[identity unlocked Hot Pink triggers; alcohol, stress, feeling tired. Effects on the body; can only speak the truth, added strength, psychopathic behaviors, aggressive behaviors, irritability. Use wisely]

His eyes stayed hot pink as he drunkenly spoke. "I mean- you think Val would actually care?" Finn asked with no emotion, "I don't even care about me that much," Finn giggled and stood up trying to take the bottle back. Singe pulled the bottle back, pushing Finn "I'm not done with that...!" Finn groaned.

Singe smashed the bottle on the wall and picked Finn up by the neck, letting out a low but harsh growl. "You seriously want to do this kid!? Do you understand the pain you will cause if this continues!?" He dropped Finn. "If I see you like this again, I swear to the gods I will not hesitate to take precautions against you drinking."

Finn nodded, "okayyy..." What Singe didn't know was Finn had a lot of hidden bottles around the house and a way of making himself seem sober (mostly illusion spells) when he wasn't. He did good for 2 days and then the day right after he left illusions at the house.

They were of him doing the things he "normally" did while he was out getting wasted. He came home one night to Singe on his bed. He was completely gone at this point, "Busted..." he said drunkly to himself and he chuckled, "Hello Buddy! How've you been?" Finn stood stupidly holding onto the doorway to keep himself standing upright. He almost fell twice, so it was no use.

"You little piece of shit. You really think I bought this? You really thought you could play smart didn't you. I AM OLDER THAN VALIENT! I know these tricks because I can do magic too." Singe got up and pushed Finn back, causing Finn to collapse on the floor. "What the hell did I tell you kid!?"

Finn's eyes went hot pink as he fell to the floor "I don't know...? I can't even remember" Finn giggled and started to cry for some reason. "I promise I didn't do anything bad," at that moment his phone which was now on the floor in front of both of them. It pinged an emergency broadcast popped up. It read, "Stay inside. Lock your doors. 6 intoxicated 17-year-olds have started a massacre. Look out for two male teens with a buzz cut, 2 teen females with undercuts and 2 unidentifiable teens. Stay inside!" Finn read it and laughed, "Oopsies, I guess we did something bad," Finn shrugged.

Val walked out of his room, his hair was a mess and inside was trashed. The wall paper had giant nail marks and the desk was destroyed. Paper was laying everywhere and Val seemed rather enraged. "Explain!" He yelled in a threatening tone.

Singe backed off knowing it wasn't his fight now. "Good luck, you screw up!" Singe disappeared into some smoke and left.

Finn was left in awe, "I-I promise I didn't do anything baby, you have to believe me," Finn slowly tried to get up. "Why are you out of your room though?" Finn asked, his eyes were now blue and hot pink.
