[11] Wrong Choice

"Psssst!"

"[Y/n]! Wake up!"

"Wake up its time to play!"

"...Please wake up..."
~~~

Kris was tense, they were gripping the steering wheel with such a force that it was a surprise the wheel hadn't also exploded.

They steadied their breathing, hoping to not draw attention to themself. Although they highly doubted that'd happen, since Noelle was still in disguise, and the Queen was stuck in her spider pose.

She held a large smile, her eye-screen displaying a rotating hourglass. Eyesight directly lined up your sleeping figure. She had just realized you were in the car, and wanted to surprise you with a celebratory chalice and another offer to be her peon. The Queen sat patiently though, waiting for you to wake up from your nap.

Noelle was staring down at you in absolute relief, and confusion. Where were you this whole time? How did Kris find you? When did you fall asleep- actually, when did you get in the car? As the deer began to think about it, she never remembered you entering the vehicle. All she knew was that she nervously glanced to her left and saw you sleeping there.!

Your [h/l] [h/c] was a raggedy mess by now. But, that's what happens when you spend your time with a dumpster goblin. Plus, you were asleep, so who was she to judge.

Noelle ended up having her thoughts redirected from you to the Queen. Now realizing that she was doing the same pose from the alley when hiding from Berdly. How she was doing this in a car was a mystery.

It was a struggle for Kris to not run into any of the small orange cars in this state. They were completely off guard when the Queen spoke up because of this, "Potato Krisp, I can't help but wonder, are you and [Y/n] related in any way?"

Their SOUL almost stopped beating upon hearing this question.

"You both just radiate the same flavor of stupid. A kind only that a family can have!" She returned to her normal position in the passenger seat, "I would know, my Ex-Husband exists!" The Queen lets out her signature laugh and summons a chalice, taking a large swig of battery acid.

Cheeks flushed she slumps over in the seat, "But ya wanna know the biggest thing about that dumpling of a man? He still misses me," she stays silent for a moment, almost presenting a thought provoking atmosphere. To which she immediately destroyed, "BUT HIS AIM IS GETTIN' BETTER!"

Crickets.

"HIS AIM IS GETTIN' BETTER!"

Kris just say there awkwardly while Noelle sheepishly chuckled.

The Queen slumps further into the seat, swishing her cup around, "You see, it's funny because marriage is terrible-"

The car then jolted and swerved slightly, Kris frantically tried to steady the car again. They slammed their fist onto the horn, honking at any and all things in front of them.

When the car had initially jolted, a crack could be heard from underneath. What it could have been was anyone's guest. Yet whatever it was had certainly thrown Kris through a spin.

But alas, no Darkner was safe, for now tens of small orange cars were tossed into the air and exploded upon impact with one another.

To think Kris could finally get a break.

"I think that was Berdly." The Queen spoke nonchalantly. Kris weirdly tensed at this. Noelle just squeaked in the back, drawing the monarch's attention.

"It looked blue and dumb, so I just kind of assumed." Another sip from the chalice.

After what felt like eons for you, you had finally begun to wake up from whatever coma you were in.

You groaned and tried to sit up only to give up and slump back down into the leather seat. Noelle took notice and lightly placed a hand onto your shoulder. All you could do was look at her with groggy eyes. She lifted the cardboard box from her face and gave a worried glance.

For whatever reason you felt like this had happened before. Which didn't make sense, since you don't remember anything similar to it. Only that you and Kris had arrived to the highway, and then the next thing you knew you were waking up.

In order to help ease the poor winter-wonderland deer you gave a thumbs up and a drooping smirk. She looked hesitant but decided to trust you, smiling and nodding before placing the cardboard box back down.

When Kris had gone to readjust the rear view mirror, they almost gasped when they saw that you were awake. Sort of awake. Eh, good enough.

The Queen stopped whatever the hell she was doing and follow Kris's line of sight, "Oh, what is it Krispy- OH!"

Once again the car began to swerve but it was the Queen's fault this time. Having thrown herself onto the car's dashboard and posing. She was looking directly at you.

"So you's awoken! Wonderful!"

Once again, she brought her neon green chalice to her lips, taking a long sip of the intoxicatingly destructive juice.

You felt a shudder run down your spine.

OOOOF-

Look, I know it's been awhile, and I'm sorry for continuously just dipping like this-

I'm just not very good with consistent schedule, and my ideas have been running low as of recent. So it was hard to pull it together to write this.

But, hopefully, I can't at least get a few more updates out before inevitably fallen off the face of the Earth again, haha.

But, as always, have an beautiful day/night!
