"Tiffany's New Doll" (Chucky Series - Tiffany x Nica)

Chapter IX

The girl looked around and saw that the car was parked at a gas station.
-I'll go get something to eat and you wait here. - Tiff announced.
-I need some air. - Nica said. The blonde took out the wheelchair and left Nica next to the car.
-Be right back.
-One sec. Will you give me a cigarette?
-Hold on. - Tiffany said, handing it to her and disappearing through the door of the building. That's when Nica realized the lighter was nowhere to be found. She decided to look for it in the car. She opened the trunk to do so, but instead of a lighter she found something much worse. There were two human bodies inside. Nica was so devastated that the cigarette fell from her hand, fell to the ground and rolled somewhere under the car. The girl looked around nervously, and then quickly closed the trunk so that no one could see what was inside. Panicked, she wanted to do something, but she ended up just staring into empty space, as if the police were about to come and arrest her. She had already been framed for Chucky's murders once, she couldn't let that happen again.
-I bought fries! - She suddenly heard a loud female voice behind her. In one sudden movement, she turned in the opposite direction.
-What?
-I say that I'm already with the food. I bought everything we will need for the trip. And I have fries.
-Will we also need what's in the trunk?
Tiff looked slightly confused.
-Well, we'll need the luggage. Unless you mean something else... - the woman bit her lip.
-Tiffany! What are these bodies doing in the trunk? I thought you were fine and you are murdering innocent people again! - she said with obvious reproach.
-I know... but it's not what you think.
-So how? Please enlighten me.
-Nica, I'm sorry. - tears came to her eyes. - I'm really, really sorry. But it's for your own good, you have to trust me.
-But what are you talking about...? - the woman took out an injection with a large needle from behind her. - Fuck... - she whispered.
-I'm sorry, Nica, for what I'm going to do now.
-No! No! Please Tiffany don't do this! - the girl moved back only a few centimeters, then Jennifer pulled her by the arm and inserted a sleeping injection into her skin.

The bright morning light of the rising sun shone on Tiffany, who was driving, and Nica, who was lying unconscious in the other seat next to her. The girl slowly opened her eyes and then remembered the recent events. Tiffany stuck a needle into her arm and then there was only darkness. And of course, those unfortunate bodies in the trunk. As soon as she came to, she moved away from the driver as far as she could and she didn't have much room to maneuver, so she hit her back against the side window. She cursed quietly under her breath and then glanced at Tiffany casually from the corner of her eye. The blonde returned it in a similar way, but then Nica turned her head and crossed her arms over her chest.
-I know what it looks like - she began, placing her hand on her thigh and squeezing it lightly - but I had a reason.
-What kind? - she replied, offended, still not looking at her. Tiffany squeezed her thigh tighter.
-Ouch! You're digging your long claws into my... leg... - the girl slowly looked down. Tiffany still had her hand on her thigh and Nica felt her touch. She looked down slowly. She had legs - whole. Her eyes immediately jumped to her hand. She also had whole hands - her own, real ones. Then she placed her hand on Tiffany's and squeezed it tightly, and finally their fingers intertwined. For the next few minutes of the journey, she sat silently at attention, staring at the windshield and clenching her hands into fists, holding them on her thighs. Tiffany tried to talk to her several times, but she remained silent. Finally, the woman stopped the car, walked around it and opened the passenger door.
-Come on, Nica, get off. - she said. The girl looked at her, then grabbed the door and tried to stand.
-But move away, honey, I have to close the door. - having said this, she took her hand away from the door and moved her to the side, while she closed the car. - Let's take a walk... - she said, until it suddenly occurred to her that Nica had never stood on her own two feet in her life.
