Underground - A Carmilla Fanfiction

Chapter Eight ~ Fool's Gold

Kirsch's POV

For a few days now, I've been hanging out with
D-Bear and it's been pretty chill for real. We just have been sitting and talking in the pit while Melanie and Lafontaine...mostly Mel...have been yapping in my earpiece all day, every day.

Guess it's just the price you pay for saving your hotties.

I can't believe that Danny would betray them like that...like honestly that is so not cool. And I can't believe they might just die if we don't save them, I can't just let my hotties Carmilla and Laura go down like that.

I've mostly been Danny's personal assistant for the most part recently. It's mostly just a bunch of standing around and fetching stuff for her, which I don't mind. To be honest, I just wish she would notice me. I really like her a lot and would love to take her out on a date, get her a ticket to one of my games, or anything, honestly...but she's been really mean and not cool recently so...I'm kinda holding off on it.

Today, she was going around, checking in with everyone with the pit to get a consensus and status update.

We walked through the tunnels of the pit to the jail cells where some "rebels" were being held.

"Okay, Kirsch. Today's it. You gotta snatch the book, AND DON'T DO IT NOW, okay?" Lafontaine instructed me.

"Gotchu, I'm on it!" I replied.

"Where are you guys now?" Mel asked.

I looked around. "We're in the tunnels of the pit, we're going to the jail cells."

"Wait, wait. The cells? Where JP is being held?" Lafontaine asked.

"Yeah, I think so." I responded as Danny looked at me.

"Who are you talking to?" She asked with a cocked eyebrow.

I cleared my throat. "Uhm, myself. I usually talk to myself when I'm nervous."

"And why would you be nervous?" Danny asked.

I gulped. "No reason. No reason at all, hehe."

Danny looked me up and down. "Okay if you say so, Kir."

She used my nickname that she gave me. Oh my gosh, ahh!

"Mhm. I totally do say so." I replied as we kept walking and she went to unlock the door to the cells.

"Alright, Kirsch. You have two objectives: unlock JP's cage and let him out, and take the book and get out of there and get back to my room without being seen. You think you can handle it?" Lafontaine asked.

"Laf, yes Laf!" I confirmed valiantly.

Laf laughed.

"You are so stupid, you know that, Kirsch?" Mel said.

"Not as stupid as you, dummy." I shot back.

"Alright Kirsch, we'll see you on the other side." Laf said, their end of the line going silent.

"Don't screw this up, okay?" Mel told me.

"I won't...I promise." I assured her.

"Be careful, Kirsch, and don't be a dummy. I'll see you soon." Mel said as her line went silent.

"You coming?" Danny looked at me, holding the handle of the open door.

"Yes ma'am!" I confirmed speeding her direction till I caught up to her.

She shut the door behind us as we could see everyone in the cages.

They looked awful. Poor guys and hotties.
