The Awakening

Chapter 7

So we want to see what happened to Jooice and Laff. Well, here ya go! Pls note some violence. This is kinda a short chapter.

"I don't know what's happened to me!" Jooice said exasperated. He and Laff were in a little room, with only a bed in it. Jooice managed to come back to the real world, and he was completely stressed. "I don't know what's happening. I want to hurt them, I'm thinking thoughts that I don't actually think.I feel emotions that aren't mine. I feel like I'm becoming someone else!" He said. "Hey, take a deep breath." Laff said. When Jooice woke up, he began to freak out. He was trying to calm him down as best as he could when something caught his eye. "Do you have a rash?" he asked. "What?" Jooice asked, confused. "There's a black rash on your neck." Laff said. Jooice felt his neck. "I don't remember having this rash ever." He said shaikly. "Hey, calm down. Tomorrow we'll go see the gang. Don't freak out, they'll be willing to listen if we stay calm and focused. Socks and Blaza will understand." Jooice nodded. "Listen, we'll figure out what the heck is going on. We just need to take it one step at a time." Laff said. Jooice took a deep shaky breath. "Okay." Jooice said. "Okay. The first thing to figure this out is to figure out how this all first started." Laff asked. "Well, it was when TBH and Woolfster were fighting you. I heard a big boom, and went to the roof of my house. I saw them shooting a beam at you, and you firing one back. But as they were slowly beating you, I was afraid that they were actually trying to kill you. I panicked, and grabbed some pearls and the cloak, and came and grabbed you. The next day was when the man came. I didn't trust him, so I tried to grab my sword, but he stabbed me with the vine before I could." "Wait, he stabbed you?" Laff asked. "Yeah, and that's how I got this ability." Jooice confirmed. Laff was quiet for a moment. "What is it?" Jooice asked. "I think I know why this is happening." Laff said. "Really?" Jooice said. "Yeah. He stabbed you through the heart, but you didn't bleed or anything, and got your ability, right?" Jooice nodded. "I got my ability when a vine wrapped itself around my hand and transferred the power into me." Jooice paled. "This means that whoever this man is, he needed you for something else. And it's affecting you mentally and physically." Jooice was shaking, his head down. "I don't know what else to do." Laff sighed. "Wait!" Jooice said, his head now up. "What?" Laff asked. "Remember those silver things?" Jooice asked. "Yeah." Laff said. The strange silver things were like his ability, but a bit different. "It was trying to get the ability out of me. And it has to be by someone. So if we can find whoever can do this..." "Then they can get rid of all this, and then it's over!" Laff finished. "Yes!" Jooice said. "That was smart thinking." Laff said. "I'm just glad that there is someone out there who can help." Jooice said. "Hey Jooice." Laff said. "Yeah?" Jooice said. "Listen, I'm sorry about the war and everything before this. I don't know what was wrong with me." Laff said. He just needed to let someone know that he was sorry about what he had done. He honestly didn't know why he did it anyway. "Hey, it's okay. We all make mistakes." Jooice said softly, a small smile on his face. "Yeah. Thanks." Laff said. "Should we go in the morning?" Jooice asked. "Yeah, better idea." Laff said. Jooice would stay in the room, just in case something happened. Laff would be near the room just in case. While by himself, Laff wondered how Socks and Blaza were doing. He opened a portal and went through. He was back in the forest, and he saw a small fire. "Wait, Laff?" he heard Socks say. Laff went over to the little camp. "Laff! You're okay!" Blaza said. "Yeah, I'm good." Laff said. "Where's Jooice?" Socks asked. "He's finally himself now. But completely stressed. He said that he was thinking stuff that he wasn't thinking. Like a different person was trying to control him." and then he launched into the whole conversation he and Jooice had. "Man, poor Jooice." Blaza said. "Can we see him?" Socks asked. "Tomorrow, we are going to the base. Figure give him some time to chill out." Laff said. "Yeah, we left a note saying we were going to try and find out where you were hiding as a sorta cover-up. We weren't sure how long it would take, so coming back so soon would be weird." Socks said. "Good idea. Well, I'm going back. See you soon." He opened a portal and went in.
