Do You Love Me Or Not? (Samgladiator X Taurtis)

Chapter Five

Taurtis' P.O.V.

"Oh my gord!" Sam yelled. "What?" J and I both said, turning back so we could face Sam. "I really need to go." Sam said, as he darted off back in the direction of the school. For a minute, I just stood there. "J, I gotta go, too." I said, also heading back towards the school. "Alright, see ya, Taurtis." J said as he continued his walk to his house. As soon as J turned around, I made a run for Sam. I had to find out what he really needed to do. This is the second time he's done this to me. When I found Sam, he was running up to the waterfall behind the school. "Wait!" Sam called out, running to the person up on the bridge. I quickly ducked behind some bushes. Luckily, I could hear everything that was going on. Well, I thought it was lucky, anyways. "I am so sorry I'm late." I can hear Sam apologize. "Oh, that's alright." I hear a girl say. It sounds alot like Yuki's. I peek up out of the bushes to where I can see, and they wont see me. When I look, I can see Sam gently take hold of Yuki's hands. Knew it was her! I thought. "Look," I hear Sam start, "I'm the one that put that note in your locker." "R.. really?" Yuki asks. I could see that her face was growing to a light shade of pink. "Yes, and the reason I asked you up here is because I wanted to ask you something very important." Sam said in a somewhat soothing voice. "Yes?" She asked, blushing a bit. "Yuki, would you be my girlfriend?" Sam asked. I flinched at this. Sam was asking Yuki out? "Yes!" Yuki screamed, embracing Sam into a tight hug. I couldn't help it anymore. My hands curled into fists. After a few minutes of them just standing there, Sam goes "Yuki?" When Sam said this, Yuki pulled away. "Y..yes Sam?" Yuki asked. By now she was blushing madly. Sam then removed a hand from Yuki's waist and placed it under her chin. They stared into each others eyes for a couple of seconds, and then Sam did something terrible. He kissed Yuki. He kissed her!! I wanted to scream. That should be me! I should be the only one kissing Sam! Was the only thing going through my mind as I ran home with hot tears streaming down my face.

When I finally got to my house I threw myself inside and slammed the door shut. Since I live by myself, I didn't have to worry about anyone asking me questions about why I'm crying. After what I just saw, I let myself go. I started bawling my eyes out on my living room couch. I couldn't help it.

For about the next hour or so, I just sat there, crying while thinking about how Sam kissed Yuki. Yuki didn't do it. Sam did. My entire body started filling up with rage. I walked to my kitchen and grabbed one of my sharpest knives. "Yuki. Yuki Yuki Yuki." I said aloud while staring at the knife. "It just HAD to be Yuki..." I then said while lightly moving the knife around. Realizing what I was doing, I quickly placed the knife down on the countertop. I ran upstairs, washed my face, got into something comfortable, crawled into bed, and drifted off into the wonderful world of unconsciousness.

Taurtis' Dream

When I woke up, I wasn't in my room anymore. Looking at my surroundings, I realized that I was in a back alleyway somewhere close to the school. When I tried walking out of it, though, darkness surrounded everything. Every color I saw seemed to be faded away. Then I heard a scream. A too familiar scream. "Sam!" I yelled out. Just then Sam came running towards me, blood covering some parts of his uniform. He had cuts all over him, and some blood was dripping off the end of one of his ears. When he looked at me, the most terrified face that I had ever seen on him appeared. "T.. Taurtis! S.. stay ba... back!" Why was he telling me to stay back? While I was thinking if this, he made a run for it. I tried running after him, but I couldn't. A shadowy figure appeared right in front of me.

"Well, well, well. I finally got a hold of you. Took you long enough." The shadowy figure said. "Who are you?" I asked, hoping he couldn't hear the fear in my voice. He chuckled. "Come on, are you really that stupid?" He asked. Before I could answer his question, he began walking towards me. When I finally got a good look of him, I gasped. It was.... me, but it wasn't. This version of me pretty much looked exactly like me, except with a few modifications. He was in black and white, his eyes were a terrifying red, and he had blood splotches in some places. He was also holding a knife that was dripping blood. "Taurtis, I'm you. You're me. We're each other." He spoke as he reached out to put the knife under my neck. "W... why are you ki... killing people?" I asked. It was hard not to stutter considering the fact that I have a knife under my chin. "Because, Taurtis, it's what I'm meant to do. I swear to gord, do you not fucking get it?! I'm your other half! The insane side of you that you've kept hidden away." He paused, chuckling a bit. "But, thanks to that little bitch, Yuki, I am finally able to come out. Let you know that I exist." I paused. Insane side? "Oh my gord, yes Taurtis. You have an insane side!" He said with a sigh. "Wait, how did you know what I was thinking?" He face palmed. "Because I'm fucking you!" He said, aggravated.

Before I could say anything else, he disappeared. Before he did, though, he removed the knife, placed it on the floor right in front of me, whispered in my ear, "Take it," and then he was gone. I slowly bent down to pick up the knife, and when it was finally in my hand, I heard screams. But the weren't like the ones before. These were happy screams. When I went to go see why people were screaming, I stopped. It was Sam and Yuki, kissing again. I tightened my grip on the knifes handle, walking up to where they were. Without thinking, I stabbed Yuki right in the back. Now I heard screams of terror. When I looked up at Sam, he had some of Yuki's blood on his clothes and his hand covering his chest. Then Sam fell. I had no idea why until he removed his hand from his chest and blood started spilling down his shirt. I stabbed Sam when I stabbed Yuki. "Taurtis..." Sam spoke weakly, "Why?" Was all he said before he died.

End of Dream

"SAM!" I woke up with a jolt. I quickly looked around to see where I was. Back in my bedroom. I let out a sigh of relief as I checked the time. 6:27. I got up to go wash my face. That dream.... I couldn't get it out of my head. There was no way in hell that I could live my life knowing that I killed my little bunny boy.

I turned on the faucet's cold water and splashed it on my face. I turned off the water, grabbed a towel, and dried my face. When I looking up from the mirror, I saw the figure I had seen last night. I stumbled back a bit, in shock. "What? Scared, headphones boy?" he asked with a small laugh. I shook my head. "N.. no... just startled, th... that's all." I responded, stuttering. He smiled. "It's fun, watching you freak out. Being scared and all." He said. "Ahem, now if you don't mind, even though you don't really have a choice here, I'm going to be taking over now." He had a smile appear upon his face. I shook my head. "How about no?" I kinda yelled. Thank gord no one lives with me or they would think I'm insane. I thought. All of the sudden, pain struck through the entirety of my body. Then I heard my laugh, only it sounded a bit darker. A bit more insane than mine. It was his laugh. "That's because you fucking are, Taurtis!" He yelled at me. But I didn't respond. I couldn't. By entire body hurt way to much for me to talk. I began to scream in pain. I held my head in my hands as I curled up into a ball on the floor.

After a while of me just laying on the floor in pain, screaming, I heard someone yelling. It sounded like it was coming from the front door. "Taurtis? Taurtis are you okay?" I couldn't tell who it was. "You better answer me right now or in coming in!" The voice yelled. Then more pain shot through my body, and I started screaming again. In between my screams, I could hear someone breaking in. I stopped screaming almost as soon as I heard the break in. I didn't have anymore breath in me to scream. I could hear someone searching around my house, going up and down the stairs over and over again. I could hear them yelling "Taurtis? Taurtis where are you?" But I never responded. If I tried, the pain only grew stronger. Plus, I didn't have anymore air in me to speak. By the time the person finally found out where I was, it was to late. The last thing I heard was that person scream "OH MY GORD, TAURTIS!" and that was it. After that I went into unconsciousness.
