Scammed

Chapter Six: The Power Within

Cherry's POV:
Okay okay... Alarms are way too loud for me to focus, Im completely bumping over some stuff but come on! How the hell did he even get here that quickly? Let's just say I'll call him... Crazy Weird Man or just Bob. Yeah, let's call him that. It's just sad that I don't have OCs... Well I make ocs but they're not exactly finished. Man, Lillian has alot of OCs. Well now what do we do..? I'm completely dumb, do I cant think of any plans. I had to hide with "Princess Alex" and Lillian, the others were finding an escape route. Bob, is still looking for us, hitting everything with his Axe. "So umm... you are-" I awkwardly whispered. "Princess Alex... she's Princess Alex. M-My OC" Lily whispered back. Still freaked out about everything... the portal, the OCs, Bob... Im possibly dead. If I had an oc to save me I would be delighted, but Im afraid Im alone. Both irl and with ocs. I can't just tell Lillian Im so scared and I have something to tell her.

I obviously have no other ocs— other than...
Oh God. No not her.

Lillian held my hand, its like she's trying to wake me up from my daydreams. Okay, okay... this is an oc central and you can possibly make ocs. Oh yeah I'll make one..! Well that wasnt so bad

But then after thinking of a useful oc, I blacked out. Then I woke up in another space, and Lillian isnt there— did Bob caught me? Sugar Honey Iced Tea Im doomed. I tried to scream Lily's name but then someone covered up my mouth.

I'll try and guess who it is— hopefully it isnt who I feared to see.
Lets see— small hands, soft and smooth, smells like perfume— not a really strong perfume like those for men— so Im guessing its a female. Heavens Im safe! But I do smell a hint of iron— or in other terms, the smell of blood. Oh no, it is who I feared.

"Ugh DarkBerry let me go!" I complained.

DarkBerry— my darkside— my only oc; took her hand away from my mouthand wiped it on her jeans in disgust. I am pretty sure I brushed today. "Look you little smarty pants I'm trying to help you!" DarkBerry said. "You are aware people do learn to never trust their darksides. I dont trust you, Deebee." I replied.

Darkberry gasped, insulted from what I said and started to hold my neck; "Dearest Good Side, Cherry. I have six words to say and that you should stick in your small brain of yours; I. Am. Trying. To. Help. You."
"I. Dont. Care. I dont need your help, Deebee. I can do it alone." I murmured as my voice fades on every word.
Darkberry let go of me and kneeled, "look Cherber, I'm so sorry. I've changed... for the better at least. I can help you defeat that guy. Only if you do me a little favor."

"What kind of 'favor'' is it then?"

"Its about Lillian"

My stomach dropped and my heart felt shattered when I heard her name, "what's wrong with Lillian?"

"Well err, look— her ocs, they're too weak. They can't be able to defeat the bad guy."

"And why not?"

"Because the bad guy can control them, except me. I'm a virus to your hard drive— the traitor to your beloved kingdom. Im unstoppable, Sheridan."

"Thats very rude of you to call me by my name, Deebee. But okay, what can I do to help?"

"Give yourself powers."

"Thats dangerous."

"Oh Fuc-"

"Cough"

"Sorry..?"

"Oh sorry I was telling myself to cough"

"Not funny, Cher."

"Obviously, Dee."

Darkberry Groaned, "We're running out of time! Here— take this weapon"

"What is it..?"

"Its err— its a weapon. Sort of... an amulet. Its useless for me but I guess try it on"

"You gave me a weapon that doesnt work..?"

"JUST WEAR IT"

I sighed, "okay fine."

After a long conversation with the annoying dark side of mine, we stepped out of her hiding spot and went outside to meet Lillian and her ocs. When we arrived, I saw Lillian's ocs lie on the ground (but theyre not dead, still breathing) and Bob holding Lillian by her shirt.

"Let go of her!" Darkberry shouted.

Bob turned to her with his glowing red eyes. "So we meet again, DarkBerry." Says his low pitched voice. "Uhm, sorry to disturb your little dramatic drama but— you knew each other..?" I asked. "Dont ask, shorty dumb Cherber. We used to be together" DarkBerry exclaimed. I didnt know what she meant though. Like they were together as— a couple or as partners in crime? I dont know, but from what I observe— couple it is. Bob threw Lily on the ground, making her whimper from the pain it caused.

"Oh Heavens Lillian, what have they done?" I whispered to myself, looking to Lillian with pity. I ran over to her but Bob grabbed me in the collar (of my shirt) and grabbed a knife. "Let go of my dumb little Cherber!" Darkberry exclaimed as she hit Bob with her powers; causing him to let go of me. Although Bob absorbed her power's energy and he placed his hand in front of Lillian, ready to shoot her dead. "No... It cant be!" DarkBerry said with surprise.

Bob then released the energy and it formed into a ball growing larger as it came close to Lillian.

I blocked his attack while I shouted Lily's Name, thinking it might be the end of me... I closed my eyes and waited for death to come.

But it didnt... Until I opened my eyes and I realized I made the attack go back to Bob and knock him out. I also realized the change of clothes as well. I stared at it in confusion and then I realized what happened—
The amulet worked.

"C-Cherry..?" Lillian stared at me, amazed— and scared of what has happened to the Cherry she knew.
