Furn Star

Chapter 18: Refocus

Hello everyone, or, anyone!!! This chapter is interesting, for a couple of plot twists are hinted here!!! Maybe you'll find them!! If you want, you can comment what you think it is. I won't tell you, but I might add it in the story somewhere.

Percy's Perspective
     "H-hey!!! J-Jack!!! HAAHHAHA!!!" My chest couldn't draw in oxygen. "I-I can't breath!!!" Limbs flailing from my intense laughter. My face was red like a sunburn.

     After Jacky stopped torturing me with his fingers. We were able to watch a movie together in his dorm. And, HOLY SHIT! Let me tell you, it was the most horrifying movie I've ever witnessed.
I'm not really into horror, but I've also never had much of a strong emotion with them either, so I don't care. Now this, this is nightmare fuel. It's called, 'The Thing'.
An alien-monster- thing, that can take control of an endless number of animals, including humans and furs, by injecting its cells into the victim.
The worst part was definitely that you didn't really know when someone was infected. They acted relatively normal, had basic memories. The only thing was they were weak to fire and couldn't copy inorganic things. Realistically, these things couldn't handle a High-tier, and I bet not even a Mid.
But when they started shifting, it was like 'Resident Evil' on steroids. Opening up with teeth and tongues and tubes and fluids. Gaaag!!!

     During the entire film, I clung tightly to his chest. I loved the soft fur all over him. It made me feel safe. Though.. I did have to bury my face in there too. Just... pure terror.
      And he was relishing this to the fullest with a noticeable smirk across his face. At least he feels better... HOLY SHI-!!!!
I've been trying to help keep Jacky's mind off of what happened earlier. He is definitely better and even talked to me about it. I think he's fine as long as nothing triggers it again.

     Later that night, we cuddled up a storm. But I got him back since I needed the lights on. Damn that movie!! I made sure to get as close as possible. The pounding of his large heart. His hard muscles that ripples through his fur. And the heat that made me feel protected.
     It reminded me of my past friend. I wonder if life would be better if he was here?

But I love my life now, if he was still here, who knows how everything would change. While I do miss him, and rather still have him as a friend, me changing my current life would be too scary. The unknown is 'humanity's' number one fear.
All those thoughts melted away with my consciousness.

Cinderella's Perspective
     Our breaths were heavy and resounding. Silencing any critter in the starlit vicinity. "That.. w-was crazy." Nox was so shaky, but so was I.
I turned to Antonio, and he was filled with fear as well. Woah.
We all collapsed on our boneless legs, sweating profusely.
There was momentary silence to recover, until I broke the ice. "Hey." I didn't say his name, but he looked at me. His stout arms flexed behind him as he was leaning back. "How did you do that? Lie so good, I mean."
     His eyes, that were usually filled with pride and attitude, shifted to pain-filled. His sigh made even my heart break before he said anything. "I've met a demon. I believe it was a Fiend." He looked away with a slight tremble. "My entire family was slaughtered by it. My older bro tried to hide me before he was knocked out and snatched up." His body kept shuddering and buckling. It was so dramatic and yet so real. "I remem-ember. It's piercing yellow eyes. Looking straight at me before smiling with him in its mouth. Blood everywhere. It was like us 'mortals' are just a cow factory for the demons' pets."
     His breathing was intense and rhythmic as he forced himself not to burst. I couldn't take it. I came up from behind slowly. I put my hand on his and hugged him. I could feel his chest waver as he cried. Nox had a light smile. It wasn't os sadism, but one that seemed to like our connection. Though, I still wouldn't date him even if wasn't straight.

     After that episode, all three of us walked together. Me and Antonio got to talking, and he isn't really that bad. He even apologized about calling me Sanders and asked about sexuality and genders. By the time I was done, he was obviously overwhelmed by the new terms and knowledge, he looked ready to burst.
     Nox was able to get us laughing and we all just kind of.. clicked suddenly. I saw Antonio's eyes glow faintly. Did I imagine that!?

???'s Perspective

     Belial and Abbadon are driving me crazy.

Belial

Abbadon

"Hey, Loch. You seem to be agitated.~" Abbadon was teasing me.
My snarl surprised even myself, "You know I hate that name."
That's when Belial, the lug, started laughing hysterically with his wild face. "Oh come on!!!! You're like the 'little brother' of us Devils!!!"
"Tsk. I'm not anyone's 'little' anything!"
"Huh? What about that guy you've been going on about for years?" Abbadon just looovved being right.
"He's the only one!!! I have now grown strong enough to protect him. And that's exactly what I'll do-"
I gave a twisted smile that Abby seemed to like. "Well, don't worry. We won't mess with your sweetheart."
I sarcastically responded, "Why.. thank you Abby." His face was full of embarrassment.
"HAHHAA!!!! He gotcha good.. Abby.~"
