My G.U.I.D.E

· Boss Battle ·

"BJ?"

"(Y/N)? What's going on? I don't like this..." Delia was sitting in her bed, covers pulled up to her face in fear. She looked around the room, a small tear running down her face.

I looked at Delia, then at BJ. He was sitting on the floor, a piece of metal seemingly screwed to his face, over his mouth. He was tied up in a black and white striped snake like thing. He looked both terrified and angry. Next to him, stood an old lady. She was wearing red and her gray hair was standing up like the bride of Frankenstein.

"BJ!" I stood up and rushed to him, trying to untie the snakes around him. Suddenly, the snake things hissed at me, almost striking at my face.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I turned to see a lady. She smirked at me, an evil look in her eyes.

"Who are you? What the fuck do you want? Untie him!" I gestured to BJ, panic taking over my body. I recognize this woman. But from where?

"I can't do that. You see, he has to leave this place and you're the one who's in the way."

"Wait... You? It is you! From the dream! What do you want from me? What do you want from him?"

"He needs to be taken care of. We need to get rid of him."

Suddenly, Laf, Adam and Barbara burst into our dorm.

"(Y/N)! Are you- what the fuck?" Adam immediately stood in front of the Lady, protecting Laf and Barbara.

"Guys? What are you doing here, it's not safe. You have to go. Take Delia with you." But they didn't listen to me. Laf ran to BJ, fighting the snake things to untie him. Barbara and Adam ran over to join him.

"I texted them." Delia told me, still hiding in the corner.

I turned to the lady, glaring at her as she spoke. "You go to the Netherworld, you don't come back; that's the rules!" Her voice was menacing as she walked towards me. I backed off slowly, ready to grab the nearest thing to me to attack.

"Back of mom! Back off!" BJ suddenly ran between us, shielding me from the Lady.

"Mom?"

"Yeah..." He cleared his throat, standing a little straighter. "(Y/N), this is my mom, Juno. Mom, this is (Y/N)."

"Hi." I waved to her casually.

"Hello there." She waved back.

"Because of her, I got to know what it's like to live. Briefly... Very briefly, it's only been a couple of months... And can I just say something? Even just living dead is a god damned rollercoaster. I don't even- it's just like, 'woah woah woah' all these feelings! One minute you're on top of the world, the next minute it feels like no one will ever love you... This guy knows what I'm talking about." BJ pointed at Laf, who just shrugged in agreement. "But it's worth it. Every bit of it." He looked at me and smiled softly. "And I'm not going to let you take it from her."

There was a suspended pause. Then Juno finally moved.

"Oh, Lawrence!" She out her hand on BJ's shoulder, guiding him slowly towards the door.

"Lawrence?" I asked, looking at my human friends, who just shrugged. They were obviously as confused as I was.

"That was beautiful! Maybe I've been all wrong about you. And I'll admit, I haven't always been such a- a good mother. But that's only; because I wish you were never born!" She easily picked him up and threw him out the door. Instead of the usual hallway of the dorms, it was a dark void with a green light that he fell through.
