Hurting Or Healing? (Season 2 of Long Lost Love)

"What..?"

"Tommy we didn't win"

Those words echoed through the crowd. Tommy stood there in disbelief. But before anyone could react, Wilbur continued.

"Schlatt and Quackity made a deal, in which they would pull their votes in no matter what. So that's 46% of the votes to them" he explained, sadness in his voice. Tommy went quiet. Schlatt's maniacal laughter was heard across L'manburg.

"Schlatt, please come up to the podium" Wilbur looked down as he said that.

Elaine POV

No. Nonononono. This.. This isn't true. Please. Please! Say it's a joke. Say it. Say it!

"Well, that was easy" he loomed over the audience. Quackity was beside him, hyping him up.

I glanced up at Dream. He had an unreadable expression. Almost like he was dissapointed. I squeezed his hand, signaling that I was freaking the fuck out.

"Do you wanna leave?" he asked me softly. I began trembling for no reason. I didn't know what was happening. I wasn't afraid of him. Right? No I can easily beat him. I-I can defend myself. I'm strong now.

"No. I can handle it" I stuttered slightly. Why was I stuttering? I'm not scared of this excuse of a dad.

"You sure? We can go if you want" he double checked. The trembling was swapped by anger. I was mad. This bitch. He thinks he can just walk into a peaceful country and possibly corrupt it? Not when I'm here.

"My first decree as president of this country.." he paused for a second. At that point I was clenching my fists. I was on the brink of pulling out an ender pearl. But the next words are what pushed the glass of the table.

"...is to revoke the citizenship of Tommyinnit and Wilbur Soot" Tommy and Wilbur stepped back in shock. I was shellshocked at that. But more importantly I was furious. So without a second thought, I pearled up to the podium and held my crossbow at him.

"Woah who are you? Wait.. your Dream's girlfriend aren't you?" he jumped back. Quackity ran beside him defensively. The crowd went wide eyed at the scene that was rapidly unfolding in front of them.

I was stuck for a moment. I didn't know what to do then. Do I reveal myself? Do I kill him? Then I quickly looked at Tommy and Wilbur that were behind them. Their faces displayed pure horror. But I knew  what i had to do.

"Tommy, Wilbur RUN" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Wilbur stared at me before Tommy dragged him to the stairs.

"Hey, get them!" Schlatt yelled at the audience. Punz, Ponk and a few others ran after them with crossbows. Schlatt tried to run, but I stepped closer to him with an arrow loaded.

"No. You don't go anywhere" I warned him. Quackity suddenly stepped infront of Schlatt spreading his arms out.

"Stay away, bitch!" he growled. Was he willing to put down his life for Schlatt?

"Quackity, you don't want to get involved in this, move!" I threatened him. But he was dense. And he made that clear.

"Who do you think you are? Attacking the president?" he interjected. I am not having none of this bullshit.

"You wanna know who I am?" Quackity kept his defensive state. Schlatt was still behind him, amused at the sight. I pulled down my hood, to reveal my face. I didn't move my hair though. So it wasn't fully visible.

"I'm that coward's daughter, dumbass!" I pointed at the man behind, as what was left of the crowd gasped. Quackity was taken back by alot, as he looked behind at Schlatt for confirmation. Schlatt smirked. He grinned. Why the hell was he grinning?

"I knew it" he casually replied. What. How. How? How in the seven rings of hell did he know? He saw my confused reaction and laughed.

"You think I wouldn't know my own flesh and blood?" he stated, moving Quackity aside. I still held him at bow point.

"You... you knew" I stammered trying to process all of this. That can't be true.

"I did. From the moment I first saw you. From the second I heard that attitude of yours. I knew you got that from your old man" he chuckled. I couldn't believe it. How could I? He knew all along? Then why didnt he say anything?

"I am nothing like you!" I barked at him, not lowering my guard. A question popped up in my head. Where was Dream? I looked at the audience, only to find no sign of him at all.

"You knew. So why didnt you say anything?" I asked him. He chuckled again.

"Where's the fun in that? It's more interesting to have an audience" he gestured towards the people still staring at us. I didn't process that statement.

"Do you think this is a joke? Are you that much of an attention seeker that finding your daughter, who you sold off to an abusive royal family, who was tortured in every way possible for years has to be broadcasted to people that you don't even know?! Huh?!" I angrily shouted at him. His smile faltered. But he fixed it quickly. I could feel rage consuming my body.

"What did you expect me to do? Be crying and wailing, apologizing for shit I can't fix?" he answered. That was it. That was the moment.

I snapped.

I purposely switched out my crossbow for my sword and leaped ro attack him. He dodged and avoided the blow. I readied for another blow when someone restricted my movements. They had basically bear hugged me and prevented me from swinging. I tried to get out and struggled.

"Finally, was wondering when you'd show up" Schlatt commented. Then he whispered something to Quackity. Q nodded and went down beneath the podium to get everyone out of there. Suddenly I could feel a needle being stuck into my neck and inject something. It went blurry after that. It was a tranquilizer. My hearing and vision were blurred, but I could make out a few words from the kidnapper before it all went dark.

Sorry. Buziness is buziness.
