One Helluva Time

Chapter 6- Forgiveness

He was accompanied by a teenage girl, probably his daughter.

Stolas was ecstatic, while the girl (who Blitz called Octavia) seemed to hate the concept of going there. Once they got in I felt someone staring, I turned and it was Stolas.

Stolas: "Oh, hello. I assume you're Blitz's new human."

Elliot: "While I am a human, I'm only Blitz's employee. I don't belong to anyone."

Stolas dragged a feathered finger down my back, sending a chill down my spine.

Stolas: "Oh, I think we can change tha..."

I grabbed his finger and twisted, causing him to whimper.

Elliot: "Do. Not. Touch. Me."

He nodded quickly and I let go, then Octavia suppressed a giggle. I started some music, it started off on Sanitarium by Metallica, to which she began to complain.

Octavia: "You seriously don't have anything better?"

Elliot: "Oh I'm sorry your highness," *I put mocking emphasis on the last part* "but I'm the driver. So I get to choose the music, if you don't like it, get out."

Everyone looked a little shocked about how I was treating the guests, I understood, but I'm not backing down.

Elliot: "Attention everyone, I'm not going to deal with bullshit today. Are we clear?"

Everyone muttered and nodded, and so we began to leave. On our way the only music Octavia seemed to kind of enjoy was Green Day, while Loona mainly enjoyed Metallica. I decided to keep mental notes on what Loona liked for later on. Over time the owls became more and more bearable, but seems they liked to push buttons. After about 20 minutes we arrived, and we all got out. Blitz told Millie and Moxxie to wander around and have a break, then told Loona and I to scout for anyone that seems they could pose a threat. We didn't see anyone and decided to get something to eat, as we sat down Loona began to speak.

Loona: "Hey, I-I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to do what I did. When I started I couldn't stop, no matter how hard I tried I..."

I put my finger up and looked her in the eyes.

Elliot: "Listen, I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt my feelings. But, I do understand where you're coming from. And I forgive you."

Loona's tail began to wag a little bit, not much but it was noticeable.

Loona: "Y-you mean it!?"

Elliot: "Yes, I do. But you owe me one."

We both chuckled a little bit and got back to talking.

Loona: "I have a small question."

Elliot: "What's up?"

Loona: "Why were you a bit of a dick with Stolas and Octavia?"

Elliot: "Because they had no respect. Stolas felt he could get away with hitting on me after I, tried, to get it across that I wasn't interested. While Octavia was a cunt right away when it came to the music."

Loona: "Don't get me wrong, I understand, but you realize that took balls right? They can make your afterlife worse than you could imagine."

Elliot: "They need to be put in their place, I don't care what happens to me. But as long as they're respectful from here on out we won't have any problems." 

After we finished eating I paid for our food and we started scouting again. We, again, saw no one. While walked I couldn't get my eyes, or mind off of Loona. Since last night it had only gotten worse, almost every second of every hour was occupied by her. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop thinking about just, everything. I can't begin to explain how annoyed I was at myself, not to mention how fucking creepy I felt thinking about her all the time. Then, we saw green fire coming from one of the large tents. We looked at each other and said one thing.

L/E: "Blitz."

~~Blitz POV~~

When I got out of the wreckage that used to be one of the carnival games, I saw that slutty fucking clown in front of me. Before I was able to pull the trigger I saw it get tackled by something. Looking closer I saw my now second favorite employee Elliot facing off with the robot, bat in hand. He was going to town on that piece of shit. Not gonna lie, it scared me a little bit. Throughout the entire thing he had a look of pure, unbridled rage on his face. Finally, he smashed its head open and just kept beating and beating and beating and beating and beating the thing. When he finished he was laughing maniacally and kicking its corpse. He didn't stop until Loona and I dragged him away from it.

Blitz: "Now I ain't complaining, but why'd you do that?"

We let him go and he looked me straight in the eyes, everything went back to normal. He stopped his laughing and had settled down a lot.

Elliot: "I HATE clowns, so that was probably good for my mental health if I'm being honest."

With that, we began to walk towards the fun house to meet up with M&M, Octavia, and Stolas.

~~Elliot POV~~

Blitz was the one to go into the actual fun house while Moxxie, Millie, Loona and I waited outside. I noticed Millie held some sort of... thing in her hands. I just assumed it was one of those "win a prize" thingys. After a little bit they came back out and we walked out of the park with it burning down behind us. Once we got back in the van Octavia requested we go to "Stylish Occult", it turned out to be Hell's version of Hot Topic with taxidermy and more weird ass shit. I walked in there and noticed Loona eyeballing an actual human brain in a jar. To be honest, it was kinda cool.

~~Timeskip (45 minutes)~~

We were back at the office, and just kinda hanging out while Blitz was in his room finishing a couple last minute things up. I played darts with Moxxie and Millie for a while, Moxxie won. The rest of the day wasn't very eventful, and after an hour or two I went home. When I got home I ate dinner and hung out with my family. After I went upstairs I checked the calendar I keep in my room, and I was a little mad at what I saw. I was prepared but I've just forgotten and was mad at myself for forgetting. Tomorrow was the first day of school.

~~~To Be Continued~~~

~A/N: Hi, yes I realize this wasn't the best of endings that I've had. But I'll try to make up for it in the next chapter, goodbye and I hope to see ya in the next one!~
