I Don't Care That You Broke Me- JaxXfem!reader fanfic

Caine, what the actual f!@ 🎩#$. Pt 2

I could feel the coldness on my skin. It was dark, and cold, and I felt a sense of.. Betrayal, maybe? I knew Gangle would probably not be that happy with me, but really? This?

I sighed, and then shook myself, looking around. I could vaguely make out a... spinning wheel..? Suddenly, light flashed on, and I realized I was on.. A large pedestal, in the middle of a bunch of acid. A button was in front of me, and a screen to my left. Words appeared on it, a sickening, deep, slow voice vibrating through the air, making me feel a bit like throwing up.

"Weeelcome to gaaaaastral giveaway! You, a lucky contender, have a chance of winning one of several GLIIIIIIIIITTERING prizes! All you have to do is spin the wheeeeel of fundus! Here above the acid, every space is a winner. So grab your girth, test your worth! 'Cause it's time to spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin the wheeeeel!!" It groaned, and it was at this point that I noticed cheerful, upbeat, circus-like, yet somehow nauseating music playing from somewhere. Why would a shark have a gameshow in its stomach?

I glanced at the wheel. The 'glittering prizes' on the spaces in question were: two (skin colour) spaces with a picture of my head, three greenish-yellow... seas..? that I assumed were acid, two spaces saying 'lose a turn', a +5, a +10, one saying 'spin again', a light grey-blue with a happy face, a light grey-blue with a sad face, and finally, a single, dark red space with a white skull and crossbones.

The button in front of me flashed white, red, black, red, white, black, white, red, black, red, black, white, red, black, on and on and with no apparent pattern. I hesitated, then hit the button, making the flashing stop.

"Nice spiiiiiiiiiin!" The voice moaned, and the wheel span. After five seconds, it landed on the acid. "Oohhh, so close! Raaaaaaise the acid!"

The greenish-yellow liquid around my platform rose, and I noticed the head of what looked like one of those turtles from Mario sticking out, though the teeth were extremely sharp, and I could see a bit of bone sticking out. I felt sick, but managed not to throw up. Ew...

An amount of time trying not to barf later, one which I couldn't keep track of, I was suddenly teleported to the main room. Pomni looked equally as disgusted as I felt, and I glanced at Jax, to see him looking away from me. What the hell is up with him today?

"Ragatha and Kinger, you lucky little pancakes finished first! Good job!" Caine shouted, startling me. "Meaning you get to choose what our next adventure is!"

"Uh- h-how about hide and seek?" Ragatha offered, looking... slightly traumatized; she probably ended up inside 'Mr Fluffers' stomach. Wait, how many Mr Fluffers are there, even?

"GREAT idea, Ragatha!" Caine cried, floating up, and a bit of confetti spilled out of Bubble's mouth. "Now, who wants to seek?" He asked, and I raised my hand. "Could I-"

"Glad to know you'll be seeking, Pomni. Good luck! Everyone has one minute to hide, and Pomni has the rest of the day to seek! Have fun, my little superstars!!!" With that, he disappeared, and I let out a slightly irritated sigh, and turned to look at Jax, who was... already walking off.

Without thinking, I darted after him, while everyone else went to go hide. "Jax!" I called, slowing down, and he glared at me, "What do you want, Y/n." He growled, and I winced.

"I... just wanted to talk to you; are you ok?" I asked, feeling a bit worried. "Did I do something?"

"I'm fine."

"But you-"

"I said I'm fine." He replied, and sped up, leaving me behind.

I faltered, my mind racing. 'Did I do something? Why is he angry at me?' I thought, and started looking for somewhere to hide, feeling something weird in my stomach, clenching and turning and drooping, like.. hurt? I shook it off. We could talk later... it's just a misunderstanding, right? ...right?
