Storm, Assassin of Chaos

8 - Skull is dead and gay

I sat up, my pajamas soaked in sweat. Another nightmare. I swung my feet off the bed and walked over to the living room to go get some breakfast. In there I saw Arrow and Rose sitting. I could see tears in Arrow's eyes. She was close to sobbing. I walked over to them.

"How have you been?" I asked quietly.

"Not good." Rose replied. I pulled them both into a hug and they both started sobbing.

"It will be alright. Maybe not right now. Maybe not even in five years. But it will be alright eventually." I said, trying to comfort them.

"I'll make you guys breakfast. I'll make my special blue cookies as well. Then we'll have the best funeral for Skull. He deserves it." They nodded in approval. I got up and shuffled over to the kitchen. Of course I tried to hide the recipe that only me and my sweet wonderful mother know about: the majestic, blue cookies.

After I finished breakfast I called out to the girls.

"Breakfast is ready!" I shouted. Luckily all the bedrooms were soundproof so everyone stayed asleep. I heard the girls rush into the kitchen and smile as they smelled my famous cookies. I gestured for them to sit down and tuck in. I sat down myself and started eating.

I saw Rose's hand go for the blue cookies and slapped her hand.

"No! They are for desert!" I scolded. Rose decided to pout but I didn't budge. She eventually gave up and tucked in her eggs. It was a quiet but comfortable breakfast. The girls finished there breakfast I took the dishes and put them in the sink.

"Okay, now you can eat the cookies, Rose!" I cheerfully said. She beamed and quickly dug in. I tutted and took a cookie for myself.  It's very peaceful. I hope it stays like this all day.

After that delicious breakfast I walked to my bedroom to put on my clothes. I walked into the living room, and saw Rose and Arrow ready to seize the day.

"Let's wake everyone in the camp up first then we can give everyone a funeral." I said softly.

I walked into everyone's rooms to try and wake their lazy asses up. Not one of them woke up. So I had to resort to other means.

I snatched two pans from the kitchen and started making the best and loudest racket I could.

"WAKE THE FUCK UP!"

And then, screaming. All of the team members came running into the kitchen with their weapons.

"WHO'S ATTACKING US?!" Jack screamed.
"No one." I said, chuckling. They just stood there in their pj's.
"Fuck you," Oli stated, "I was having a dream about my girlfriend. She was just about to s-
"TMI, dude!" Jackie shouted.

Then I remembered the real reason why I wanted to wake them up.

"We're going to have Skull's funeral today." I mumbled quietly. Everyone's eyes trailed over to Rose and Arrow.

"His funeral better be gay." Basil said.
"He was gay?" Someone said.
"He was gay as fuck. Oh my God. H-he has a boyfriend. H-how are we going to tell him?" Basil said.
"Leave that to me. I'll invite him to the funeral. What's his name?" I offered.
"His name was Amare Calvariae." Basil answered. I nodded and walked out the room.

I dressed in my professional clothes and teleported to base.

"What are you doing back so early?" I heard from behind. I turned around and saw Chaos.
"We..we lost someone." I said sadly.
"Who?" Chaos questioned.
"Skull...I came to inform his boyfriend so he can have his funeral with him." I said, my eyes on the floor.
"His room number is 6024." He quietly stated.

I saluted and walked my way over there. When I arrived I knocked on the door quietly.

"Who is it?" He asked.
"It's Assassin Storm!" I shouted.
"IS SKULL BACK?" Amare shouted excitedly, throwing back the door."
"I'm afraid I have some bad news."
"Well come inside and tell me." He gestured for me to sit on his bed. I did just that and he plopped down next to me.

I sighed deeply before telling him the bad news.
"There was an attack in camp. Unfortunately, Skull died by sacrificing his life for Beauty."
"No...no, you have to be lying." He shook his head in denial.
"I'm sorry, Amare." He sobbed into his hands. I pulled him closer to me and hugged him.
"I am so sorry," I said quietly, "If it's any help, we're having a funeral for him and it's going to be extremely gay." Amare Calvariae snorted.
"It's today at 11pm. I'll come pick you up then." I told him. I patted his hand before standing up. I walked to the door before stopping myself.
"He was a fine man. The best of the best. He died in the most honourable ways I can think of. Goodbye, Amare. See you later." I said and walked out.
