Ch.41 - the hell??

I've been at writers block. ;-;

***

I felt a light growl in my chest and laughed, "If anyone, you should know better than to show your face around these parts, Frisk."

"Or what? The threat's been taken care of." The girl shrugged and pushed herself off the wall, stepping up to me, "And the likes of you may call me Echo."

I felt a tug in my soul towards Opal's and suddenly my magic was forced to the surface. My skin burned and my vision began clouding at the corners with darkness. "You bitch! What did you do?!" I growled the last sentence. "Where's O-"

She clasped a hand over my mouth, "Shshshh now, it'll be alright." She cooed.

I snatched my face away, "Fuck you."

"Love you too," She smiled sweetly.

"Opal?" A voice called from the floor above. She had me down in what I assumed to be the basement. It was dark and muggy, smelling musty from rain water flooding in time and time again. I strained against the chains that held me, limbs stretched, to a wall.

"Down here, G!" She called back, crossing her arms again and stepping away. "I want you to meet someone!"

My stomach twisted and I felt the blood drain from my face. "..Opal...G?"

She approached me and grabbed my jaw, "Open wide." She squeezed until I had no choice but to open my mouth. She popped something orb-like and blue into my mouth. It dissolved immediately on my tongue, almost a consistency like cotton candy with a kick of sparks and metallic aftertaste.

I watched as the faint blue aura surrounding her grew more vibrant, and her form changed. She was Opal. The Opal I knew a long time ago, with her green-tipped blue curls and smug, carefree posture. The aura seemed to be masked, and I focused harder, trying to see it again. She turned to smile at me, and it was when we locked eyes that I could see a fragment of that magic residing within her. Eyes are a window to the soul, they say. Though I can't see her soul, or any for that matter, her eyes are a window to something. Something volatile and disgusting. I don't like it one bit.

As G's silhouette could be made around the corner, I struggled against my restraints again. Trying to speak, I found that my throat felt like cotton and I could hardly wheeze a sound. I glared daggers at her.

'Opal' ran to G and wrapped her arm around his neck with his wrapping her waist as he lifted her smaller form into a hug. "Hey, doll. Missed me?"

"Don't get too full of yourself now," she teased. I eyed them in bewilderment. There was no aura around him. It was really him. How could he fall for this so easily?

G finally glanced my way and set her down. "Who the hell is this?" He rose a bony brow and removed himself from her hold, stepping closer to me. His sockets narrowed, and his pupils seemed to pierce mine into place. Was he trying to see my soul? "Why can't I see her?" His eyes didn't leave mine.

"G..this is....this is my killer." She saddened her voice just enough for effect.

The lights in his eyes left and clenched his fist, growling out a dark, "What?" I felt my face involuntarily twist in fear. Kudos to him for pulling such a reaction from me. I've gotten pretty good at holding a poker face lately.

"I-I'm afraid it's true. I could never forget the soulless eyes of my killer. She stabbed me and ran for it....right after you asked me to marry you. You remember?"

"Hell if I could forget." He leaned forward, eye sockets filled with the lights of his pupils again, flicking between my eyes, focused, as if trying to solve a puzzle. He hummed, almost inaudibly as his eyes softened slightly. I had an idea. Maybe I couldn't speak, but I could whisper slightly. As close as he is, he may be able to catch it.

"G, that's not Opal." If he heard me, he didn't show it in even the slightest of a twitch.

"Sweetheart, why didn't you head upstairs awhile. I'll take care of this." He didn't break eye contact as he straightened himself.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want you alone with this...creature...if it bothered you." That name was obviously aimed straight at me since her eyes flicked to me when she'd said it.

"I'll be alright." He nodded.

She hummed and muttered an okay before heading up. He let out a breath and leaned close to me. Being sure to keep his lip movements minimal, he replied to my earlier statement. "I know, makes me sick. Listen, I had originally planned to make bail alone, but seeing as that wouldn't lay well with my conscience, I'm going to help you out a little, k?" He reached up and used his magic to crack the chains holding the cuffs. He nodded briefly to me before turning.

It was later that night that me and G made our break. We escaped separately, him dipping out when she came down to torment me, me yanking the cuffs loose and knocking the bitch disoriented. Her form wavered between Echo!Frisk and Opal before shrinking into what I'm assuming to be the thing's true form. A small albino girl barefoot and in in rags, hair long and tangled. The blue aura was strong, violent almost. Not only to be seen without much effort but to be felt, sending shivers and waves of rage and misery through me.

The girl shook her head free of the daze and I didn't hesitate to swing a fist. She barely dodged it, running away. I tried to chase her, but to no avail. By the time I made it outside, it was dark and she was gone.

The girl was the least of my worries right now. It's been hours since Opal's magic reached for mine in a plea for help. Though that desperation dissipated, I can't help but worry. Looking across the street, I notice the car gone and silently curse G. Why hadn't he escaped before? He could've if he really wanted, right?

With questions and thoughts swirling in my head, I let my magic pile to the surface enough to be able to use it's instinct as a guide to Opal. My skin tingled at the feel. Normally, I wouldn't use it like this, but if something happened, I doubt she'll be at the diner.

I rewrote the end of this chapter multiple times but hated it. Sorry to rush it oof. Not my best work to be honest.

Bit of an early update, may be publishing another chapter tomorrow. We'll see!
