Insanity

Help Has Arrived

It's been another week. I've kept Coke calm and she hasn't shown any symptoms of corruption, which is what we're calling it now. She's been doing very well. But my patience with her has been dropping with the less sleep and food I've been getting. I try my best but I've been starting lash out at her.

I'll be able to see Sebastian in a few days! I can't wait to see him again.

I grabbed the glass tablet from my desk and yawned, walking over to the the Coke was in. I turned on the light and noticed the left side of the tube was covered in shadow. There were also new cracks in the glass. I looked carefully and noticed the left side of Coke was showing corruption. But only the left side. I sighed, logging it and setting down the glass tablet in the floor.

"Coke, don't forget that I'm here." I'd say, putting a hand in the glass.

"Coke isn't here right now."

I looked up and saw that only Cokes left eye was open. She grinned.

"Coke stop playing games with me." I'd say.

"I'm not? Coke is asleep. In our headspace." She'd say, tapping her head with her left arm.

I tilted my head slightly.

"Jesus fucking Christ. Ok, so you will refer to me as 1187. I can't think of any other name right now and I don't want to go but Coke." She says, "Pronouns are they/them."

I nodded my head slowly.

"So- 1187-" I started.

"Booooriiiinnnggg." They'd say, yawning, "Don't waste my time by asking me measley little questions."

I balled my hands into fists.

"Aww, little Copper's frustrated?" 1187 said.

"No- I'm fine..." I'd growl, walking to my desk.

I sat down and pulled out my phone, starting to text Sebastian.

"Hey Sebs."

No response.

I sighed, setting down my phone. I layed my head down on my arms, snuggling into them.

"Can't go to bed!" 1187 yelled.

My eyes shot open and I groaned, pushing myself out of my chair and kicking it over. I paced around the room.

Knock knock!

I glared at the door. The doorknob turned.

"Hey Coop! Haven't seen you in a couple days." Luster said walking in.

I walked towards him, grabbing his shoulders, turning him around and shoving him outside of my room.

"Coop?"

I closed the door, locking it.

"Seems like someone's getting grumpy." 1187 said, crossing their arms.

I turned around and walked over to the tube, staring at it. This breathable liquid could easily have the oxygen removed from it. So, I walked to the back of the tube and started messing around with the wires and plugs.

"Wait- what are you doing?" 1187 asked, slight worry in their tone.

"Something I should have done long ago when you hurt Sebastian." I responded, ripping plugs out of their sockets.

I heard 1187 gasp and whimper slightly. I got up from the floor and walked in front of the tube, placing my hands on it.

"You're finally getting what you deserve you little demon." I'd say, growling slightly.
