The Last Guest 5: Aftermath [OLD]

Chapter 22: Revenge of the Colonel

Shadow is still alive! And so is the Bacon Colonel?! Now the most dangerous astral, Blox Watch has been summoned! What's going to happen?!

A soldier ran into Captain Richard's office, out of breath. "Sir, I have some news!" he yelled. "Make it quick. I am very busy" Richards replied, sitting in his desk.

"I am afraid that 'he must not be named' has returned" the soldier quivered. Richards froze. "WHAT?! It can't be! He's dead!" Richards yelled.

Richards stood up from his chair. "Get every soldier back to camp! We need everyone's help! And the former bacon soldier with the scar, too!" he yelled. "Yes, sir!" the soldier ran out of the room.

It was a Saturday, meaning that The Last Guest and their friends were in the backyard. "I still remember the day when we reunited." Bethany turned to Jez.

"I know, every Saturday we do this, it gives me the exact same vibe!" Jez put his hand behind Bethany's back. "This is the exact reason why I enjoy Saturdays!" Bethany replied.

"I'd enjoy it!" Daisy joined in. "If Bethany was actually gone!" she yelled. Bethany got angry and threw a glass cup at her face. Daisy ran away, screaming. Bethany let out a laugh.

"How many times do I have to tell you, stop throwing glass cups at her!" Jez yelled. "Fine, after I get one good throw at her!" Bethany aimed another glass cup at her.

Jez grabbed her hand. "NO!"

"Oh, my traumatizing moment?" Jez asked. "Well, the part where I got my scar and seeing my mother die is scary enough, but there was one moment I won't forget..."

Young Jez was laying in bed. He wasn't able to sleep, and it was 2 in the morning. Just when he was about to doze off, he heard screams.

He got off from his bed and peeked around the corner. He watched his father yell at his sister. Bethany was about to tear up, until she stood up to herself.

"THIS ISN'T YOU! YOU'RE NOT THE FATHER THAT I KNOW!" Bethany yelled. This made the Bacon General angry and was about to throw a punch at her. Jez then ran in front of her, taking the blow.

This caused his eye to bruise. Then the Bacon General decided to walk away. "Jez..." Young Bethany whispered, trying to help her brother. Jez sat up, wrapping his arms around his legs, traumatized.

--

"At least that bruise wasn't permanent." Bethany reassured. "But the trauma that I've been inflicted with is." Jez said. "Come on, it'll be okay..." Bethany pat her brother on the back.
