BLOODLUST - A BFB Fanfiction.

what's wrong? - prolouge no.2

I'm getting increasingly more worried about Liy. Since we've been in the EXIT together she's been really silent... each day it feels like her personality is wearing out more and more... she isn't like how she was before. Yeah, maybe we hated each other back then but at least she was expressive about it... Now all I see her do is silently sit on her desk while eerily muttering a bunch of words and tapping her feet on the floor. It's so spooky, it's like someone possessed her. Every opportunity I get to observe her, I always feel some weird aura surrounding her. I always feel horrified, really... I feel sweat trickling down my face whenever I watch her do that. I'm a bit iffy about doing this but I think I should talk to her... maybe that would cool her off.

I jumped off my chair and quietly snuck up behind her. Well not really quietly, more like loudly! Screw my stapler body. Maybe if I scare her she'll snap out of it. Maybe I'll see the normal Liy again...

I put my hands on her back to try and startle her, but to my surprise she didn't even notice?! She's just muttering those creepy words again. Maybe she'll notice if I do this!

"BOO!" I yelled, pushing her softly on the back.

"OW! WHAT THE HELL?!"

"L-Liy...?!"

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" She screeched before grabbing a calculator, bashing it hard into my head.

What's gotten into her... I never knew she was that violent! I thought she would be more calmer than back then...
I fearfully stared into her disturbed eyes. I could almost see a faint red tint flickering in them... I'm so convinced she got possessed by a demon. Maybe Evil Leafy...

"Ouch!" I groaned as I put my hand on where she hit me, rubbing it to numb the pain.

I watched as Liy put her hands on her mouth, the red glint in her eyes quickly switching from a red to a soft blue.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" She apologised, the light in her eyes drastically brightening and almost forming into a... star?

Something about her apology feels fishy, especially her voice, it sounds so disingenuous. It sounds like she's just trying to laugh it off in a way... whatever. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I don't wanna be like Fries... overanalysing people... weird.

"Oh, it's okay!" I chuckled, shrugging off the pain.

"But anyways, I just wanted to know if you're okay... I can hear you muttering words and it's kinda... y'know... worrying..."

Liy stared into my eyes for a few seconds before laughing loudly. Wait, did I tell a joke?! What's so funny?

"W-Why are you laughing? Did I say something?"

"Oh! Oh my!" She chuckled, wiping a tear off her face before creepily pausing and peering into my eyes, inching closer and closer every second by pushing her chair forward.

"You don't think there's something wrong with me... do you?" Liy said in a soft yet curious voice, widening her eyes. I can see that star brightening. I don't really know what it's meant to mean, but it's super freaky.

"No! O-Of course I don't Liy, I just wanted to know if you're okay!" I replied with a guilty tone. I don't want to hurt Liy's feelings, really! I just want to know if she's alright. I hope she can realise that...

"Oh, okay then..." I watched as she moved her now wobbly chair closer by pushing her foot onto the table leg.

"Well if you're wondering, I'm absolutely fi-"

THUD

"Liy, are you okay?!" I yelled as I watched her fall off the chair and land onto my arms.

She just stayed silent for a few seconds. Most of the time when she does that, I like to wonder what's going on in her head.

Then she started giggling. At first it was faint but it just started to get progressively louder, to the point where she was cackling!

"Oh Stapy! I appreciate that you're worried about me, but I'm absolutely A-Okay!" She chuckled before sticking out her tongue playfully while forming a peace sign with her hand.

I couldn't help but stare into her eyes for a few seconds. I know what you're thinking right now, 'Oh, you like her! That's why you're always looking into her eyes whenever you get the chance!!' or something like, 'You care too much about her, you totally like her!'.

If you think that, I just want to make one thing clear. It's not because I like her, I already know who I like anyway! It's because I'm concerned about her. Of all my years of knowing Liy, she never ever acted like this! She never had the ability to just switch personalities in the heat of the moment, nor did she have those freaky stars in her eyes! It's strange. Each word she utters to me, I can just see those stars in her eyes brighten more and more... I need to ask her about that. But wait, wouldn't that be weird?! Why would I ask something like that?! That's just odd! That's just-

"Stapy?! You okay?" She said, snapping me out of my trance with her bright and starry eyes.

"Oh! Haha! I'm fine!" I laughed nervously, hesitantly letting go of her hands.

"Oh, okay!" She replied as she fixed her chair and jumped back onto it.

I waved at her awkwardly as I hopped back onto my seat. What was that?! What are those stars? Weird.

I guess I should just stop worrying. I guess I should just get back to work...

....

He's so incompetent. Does he seriously believe that stupid little act I put on. Honestly, I should've slammed his head harder so the blood could come gushing out.

He doesn't realise... does he?

He's dumb, dumb! He's so stupid! He doesn't realise what I have in store anyways... he'll see... THEY'LL ALL SEE...
