Broken Glass

Chapter 8

/Logan's P.O.V/

"So what about the book...?"  

Anxiety's voice was distant as he spoke.  "What exactly did the hero of the story have to do to beat the beast?"  This was what really bugged me is that the book did not tell us exactly how to kill beast just that Anxiety would die in the process.  

He looked at me fear flashing through his eyes, "Ah-"  He looked away fiddling with the ends of his sleeves.  "So I am guessing you know who those characters are in the book I'm assuming?"  

I nodded "Yes, I'm aware of who bunnies are being us main traits and the beast being The Man."  I found this concept very obvious.  

"I don't know..."  I looked at him surprised.  "I have been trying to figure it out for a while now and just cannot think of a suitable plan." He looked up at me "I'm not smart like you Logan."  

"Well..."  I tightened my tie "That may so... but you do bring about light to aspects that I do not socialize myself with... such as feeling.  

He chuckled "Well yeah... guess you have a point there."  I held his intent gaze for a moment "But you are not emotionless." He breathed when Roman cut in 

"O K A Y- you guys so how do we figure out how to defeat this evil villain?"  

I looked at him quizzically "I'm afraid as of right now I do not have the information to give a full proof plan at the moment."  

"Well, it doesn't have to be full proof."  Anxiety looked at me, his eyes hopeful.  

"I just don't want you getting hurt..." he scowled at that comment "Well, any more hurt than you already are."  

He shook his head "Logan, I can't believe I am going to say this but I need you to help me come up with a plan to kill myself."  

My head shot upright as I looked at him the unsettling truth of what he said settling in.  "Anxiety I can't-"  

"Logan."  He stated firmly "We have no other option, and I do not plan on going down without a good fight this time."  

I was glad that he sounded confident but he looked scared.  We all were... but I knew this was the only way... 

"So the first key idea that stood out in the story was the claw of the beast."  

"Yeah, the one that the bunny got stabbed with... we all know this Logan," Roman spoke ushering me to continue.  

"Well, as I was saying before I got rudely interrupted."  I glared at Prince.  "Maybe the claw was a sense of strength for the beast?"  

Roman looked at me confused but Anxiety's face went dark.  

"The claw could be something deadly to the bunny but something necessary for the beast's survival.  Much like a vital organ is to a living organism."  

Anxiety stood up and turned around with a slight limp.  

"Where are you going to Anxiety?"  He looked at me his eyes plastered in an oddly blank stare.  It was unsettling, to say the least.  "I must find him."  He turned back towards his room when Roman grabbed onto his arm. 

"You can't!"  He yelled.  "We are here to help you!"  His face was desperate as he spoke.  

Patton then woke up from the yelling "What can't who do?"  He asked rubbing his eyes sleepily.  

"Anxiety is going to get himself killed that's what!"  Roman shouted looking back at Anxiety for a reaction but received nothing but an empty stare.  

"He what?!"  Patton was fully awake now and was standing up looking like a kindergartener who was late to catch the bus.  

He stormed towards Anxiety and all of a sudden I saw Anxiety's eyes flicker back into reality before he stumbled backward his hand falling through Romans grasp.  

"W-what?!"  He exclaimed like he genuinely didn't know what was happening.  

Patton put his hand on his hip; he was in dad mode, "Anxiety.  You are going to let us help you whether you like it or not."  Patton held out his hand for him to take and surprisingly he did.  

"Okay... but just a little bit."  Patton's face filled with joy as he turned walking back to the couch with Anxiety's hand in his... and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous?
