Till death do us part.

XX.

"Dark Cacao would be devastated to find out that you're apart of this." Crunchy Chip managed to spit out. Pure Vanilla walked round the room, fixing some droopy vines that had dangled out a little too much.

"I'm glad you've awoken. And what ever do you mean, my dear?" Pure Vanilla smiled at him. Crunchy Chip sent him a scornful glare. "I see right through you."

"Is that so..." He dropped the act. "You know that at this very moment in time, Wildberry is being hunted down?" Pure Vanilla watched his scornful expression turn into a perturbed one. "And that when he is found, he will be executed? My my! You know so much!"

"But why! What has he done?!" Crunchy Chip shouted at him, angry tears forming in his eyes.
"Well;  he attacked, snuck onto an airship... Oh! And not to mention!- he killed three cookies." Crunchy Chip wanted to act as if he had only just heard it.

He was there. He heard how angry Wildberry had sounded. Swiftly cutting into them as if they were butter, propping their bodies in different places, then fleeing the scene. Three murders. A sentence of death.
There was no way he could escape it.

"W-What..?" Crunchy Chip gasped. "You don't sound surprised, Crunchy Chip. You can't play it off," he then came closer, face to face. "You heard it. Didn't you? Yet you were too impaired to do anything."

"I was unconscious. Though, I could hear. Yes." Pure Vanilla thought for a moment, then spoke "Tell us what happened that evening."

"Hell to the no! You're going to kill him! The evidence I potentially hold could give him away!"
"He is a serial killer, or are you just an idiotic shit to not understand the crimes he has also committed," He was by his ear now, his voice somewhat distorting; sounding dark, eerie. Intimidating.
"Now listen here. You tell us what happened that night, or else I'll slit your throat. Right here, right now."

"I can't believe this fucking shit that we're in right now." Black Raisin sighed from beside Caramel Arrow. They were still tied.
"I-I overheard what their gonna do." Caramel Arrow whispered to her. "What."
"Their going to execute us. Like their going to execute Wildberry when they find him. He needs to get out."
Black Raisin turned to her. "When will die?" Caramel Arrow shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know."
She sighed once more. "I'm not ready to die."
Black Raisin laughed quietly, "Who does."
"I've watched all my comrades die a heroic death. Get their name written on the Chocolate Altar Of The Fallen. And look where the fuck am I right now."

"For real... I could be defending my village... and chasing those troublemakers with worms," The two both chuckled. "And you know the worst part about it? We were doing something good." Caramel Arrow's mood soured once more.

"Not everyone agrees with that, apparently."
"...hold on. Is Dark Cacao on their side?" Caramel Arrow shook her head. "No. He doesn't even know what's going on. We could shout for help- unless we want our execution to come quicker." Black Raisin laughed loudly. "Sorry. I'm dark."

"Please; take my mind off of this. Just, I don't care what type of joke you crack. I'm afraid of the future. You're the only one that is making me feel some sort of comfort." Black Raisin blushed a little bit.
"Ok."

Strawberry Crepe was thrown to floor. "Tell us where he is!" Hollyberry shouted at them. They were at the brink of tears, but put on a brave face "I don't know shit." They spat back. Pure Vanilla put a hand on Hollyberry, signalling her to put her guard down. "It is alright; they are probably as clueless, like Gingerbrave. Don't be so aggressive to the kids. I'm sorry about the inconvenience, Strawberry Crepe, we'll be on our way now." They walked off.

Strawberry Crepe dusted themselves. "Bunch of no good shitheads," they cursed, "Oh, yeah you can come out now." Wildberry slowly emerged from the damaged Wafflebot parts.

"It's was kind of you to do that for me. Especially-"
"After you killed three cookies. Nah, you're seen as an idle in my eyes." They smiled. Of course.

"They'll be back, I guarantee. You should find somewhere else to stay." Strawberry Crepe warned. "Indeed... but where. I bet they'll search every crook and crevice after dark. They'll think I've let my guard down then." Wildberry couldn't help but chuckle. Hollyberry was sure determined.

"Y'know, I kinda feel bad."
"What? Why Strawberry Crepe?"
"Because you were so loyal, and she didn't even believe you."

Wildberry shrugged his shoulders. After all the years spent by her side, it was easily discarded by some white guy in a fancy suit and blonde hair.

He didn't want flashbacks of the past. He was done feeling bad.
How she found him in that pile of trash that day. How she nursed him back to health, and taught him everything she knew. Who knew it would all end like this?

"I'm fine with it, I guess."

"Lie. I detected a sudden change of emotion just now," Strawberry Crepe corrected. "It's fine. You should speak you're mind. Though, it's getting dark. You can sleep over there for the night. Now that I think about it, I doubt they'd be bothered to go through all that scrap!"

"Then it's settled. I thank you for your help, again."
"No problem."

Tears dropped from Crunchy Chip's eyes. He had told. He had no choice. Pure Vanilla placed down the razor, smiling with triumph. "It wasn't that hard, was it-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP."

"Whoa whoa whoa. Watch that damn mouth of yours, Wolf boy." Pure Vanilla was dangerously close to the other cookie. "It's a shame you couldn't feel his cock inside you one, last, time. I could actually shed tears for you but," he smiled once more, "I'm happy to say we've found him."

Crunchy Chip lunged for him. Pure Vanilla barely dodged him, grasping his neck and immediately bringing him down with shock. "Jesus."
"You're an evil man, I say! You are not who you claim you are! I hope you burn in hell!" Pure Vanilla glare darkened. "What the fuck did I just say. You'll be happy to know you'll watch his and those two girls executions up close."

"NO-"

"It's already been arranged. The executions are on Thursday. Until then, you and Dark Cacao will be watched closely. If I were you, I'd be on your best behaviour." And with that, Pure Vanilla left the room.
