Enemies. [Creek..?]

four

It's been five days now. Everyone is back on the ship and they are all fully aware of our plan. They are just getting prepared with weapons and designated routes.

I haven't gone back to the barbarians place since. No reason too. Although I was slightly tempted by Tweeks presence to go. I don't like him or anything, I just find him.. intriguing. But now I kind of wanted to go warn him of our attack so he could leave and not get hurt. Then again, he'd probably tell all the other barbarians and i'd ruin the whole operation. So not going was my best choice.

Jimmy has told us we are executing the plan in three days. I was ready for a war that would begin in three hours. My specialty is stealing, but i'm a good fighter too. I rarely bring weapons though, just my knife and fists. I'm usually just going in and stealing the opponents supplies of weaponry and even people if it deems necessary.

"Feldspar! Get on up here," A voice brings me out of my thoughts. I turn my head to see Tolkien on the ladder and motioning for me to follow.

Only Tolkien, Clyde, Jimmy, my family, and pretty much everyone in my old home town knows my name. As I went with Cartman first, I left my town and created a new name for myself. I created a whole new person. Craig Tucker was no more. When someone asks my name, I tell them it's Feldspar. It's not the best of names, but I wanted something new and unique, something no one had. When people hear Feldspar I want them to think of me, not any other person, me. Except Tolkien, Jimmy, and Clyde though, they know because we are best friends. Kyle doesn't know.

I climb up the ladder and see many many people spread across the deck. I forgot how crowded it got with all these people.

I walk through the people hoping to find Clyde or someone I actually know. Clyde's my bestest friend. Ignore how I sound like i'm two. I spot Clyde and sit next to him.

"Hey! Listen I was thinking, if you're gay then there's gotta be someone you like, yeah?" Clyde asked with no hesitation the second I sat down. It was on the side of the boat overlooking the freezing water.

"No. And i'm not full gay," I state.

"Yeah, okay," Clyde rolls his eyes at me even though it's true.

"Well it's not like I do like him. He's just strange and different, in a weird way. I wouldn't want to date him, per se, maybe just be friends but we can't do that. I want to see him but it's just weird, he'd probably kill me for real this time. Just wish things weren't so complex," I finally admitted, entirely forgetting that the only person who knows about Tweek is myself.

"Woah, alright then." Clyde took a moment to process with a slight hint of shock on his face. "Who are you even talking about?"

"Can't tell you that one," I sighed. I don't want anyone knowing. For now.

"I think you should go see him. If it don't end well just come talk to me. You can talk to me if it goes well too!" Clyde said. It'd be strange, just showing up. But what the hell, it's meet him like this or meet him when my people are killing his people.

"Okay. I will. I don't know when i'll be back," I said, standing up. I didn't give him an excuse to tell people where i'm at because they wouldn't ask anyways.

Before I left the ship I unhooked a revolver from someones belt and then I left. I emptied all the bullets into my pouch and was left with a harmless gun.

I walk into the forest for the third time in the past week. I keep the revolver in my hand, hiding it with my cape. A while later I can see Tweek crouched behind the bush. I creeped up behind him and held out the gun.

"I would really appreciate it if you stopped coming here just to pull your weapons on me," Tweek said, turning his head to look at me. He stood up.

"It's not mine. Besides," I stopped talking and pulled the trigger, showing him there's no bullets.

"Why are you even here?" Tweek asked. I shrugged and put part of the revolver in my pouch. "You know I could kill you any moment? I could get my boss out here and you'd be dead for sure."

"Yeah, I know," I told him.

"Just leave!" Tweek raised his voice slightly.

"Mhm, what're you going to do if I don't?" I said, holding back a smirk. I figured from our last interactions he wouldn't do anything.

Tweek paused for a moment. "Nothing," He finally admitted. He sat back down and leaned against a tree.

"And why's that?" I asked, sitting next to him but at a reasonable distance.

"I don't know dude, stop asking questions. Why don't you tell me why you keep coming here?" Tweek said.

"First time I wanted to explore, then I was observing," I told him.

"Why you here now?" Tweek asked. If only I could answer that one. I genuinely don't know.

"I don't know. You're.. interesting," I finally said. Tweek looked at me funny.

"Okay? I hope you know we can't be friends." Ouch. I do know, but nobody technically has to know.

"How come?" I asked even though I knew the answer. I just wanted to know what he'd say.

"Are you dumb? We are enemies. Well everyone else. It'd be weird," Tweek said.

"You even know why they're enemies?" I asked.

"Yeah, some dude tried stealing our jewel. Like two years ago too," Tweek said. Some dude? He doesn't know who?

"That dude was me," I said with a small chuckle. Tweek's eyes widened.

"Really? Holy fuck. You ever succeed to steal something?" Tweek said as a joke. I think.

"Fuck you, I have actually. As a matter of fact I stole this here revolver," I said with a smirk holding the gun.

"Did it just come with no bullets or are you just stupid," Tweek said. I'm starting to not like how mean he is.

"I took them out," I say, holding up the bullets I had in my pouch. "Didn't want to actually shoot you."

"Oh, whatever. Do you like live in this town?" Tweek asked.

"No, used to live somewhere else. We just stay here for the colder seasons since the waters freeze over. I've just never explored around here. You stay here all year?"

"Nice. Yeah, I do. Lived here for a long time."

I check my watch. It hasn't been that long but I feel like I should leave anyways.

"I should leave. We're still preparing for — Colder conditions and stuff," I said, cursing myself for almost revealing our plan.

"Before you go.." I stopped. I turned my head to look at him. "Maybe we can be friends, if you come back."

"I will be back. Guess I should return this then," I told him, revealing his knife I had earlier taken. I tossed it to him.

"When did you get this?" Tweek asked, shocked as he picked up the knife. I didn't respond, I just smile and waved and then I left.

I guess it was a smart idea from Clyde for me to go see him. Now we are friends. Almost. I made a mental note for me to go and visit Tweek tomorrow. I just wish Jimmy didn't start planning the attack.
