There was a bright blinding light then there was ...
Shit.
I gagged.
I mean literal shit.
We were in a fucking sewer. Brown watery mush flowed stagnant in the tunnel we were currently in. Bright small eyes peered back at me before scuttling away. Brown mounds of ... I don't even know what stifled my nose horribly.
I gagged again, baby vomit slipping into my mouth before I swallowed.
Which only made me gag again.
I turned to look at Sasha, the only one near my level of pettiness, who would fully feel the effects of this.
This bitch was frozen in disgust. I've never seen someone actually frozen when the pure look of actual disgust on their face.
Did I love Blake Dun?
More than I ever thought possible.
Did I love his evil little ungrateful ass this much?
Monday through Wednesday.
Today was fucking Friday.
"I'm out" I gagged yet again, my insides literally shriveling at the smell.
I went to turn around only to run smack dab into True Love herself.
Trina's usually sunny deposition was only slightly marred by the fact that we were wading in shit, like it was a kiddy pool.
I gagged again.
Her bright eyes honed into mine, "we can do this" she stated firmly.
"I really can't" I cried back a hand slapped over the lower part of my mouth, as I shook my head desperately at her.
She nodded, "yes, we can. We made it this far, through all of this. We are so close Katrina, you'll have him back in your arms-"
"I don't even love myself enough to wade through shit, Trina. I can't, I love him, I do. But maybe I should stick to my original plan, settle down with a normal guy ... maybe an Accountant, give him two kids, then once they turn 18 divorce him and live on a beach alone, drinking strong alcohol from a coconut, so that I can erase the memory that even for five seconds I waded through shit" I quickly cut her off.
If anything, my words seemed to have pushed her to strengthen her resolve.
"Love conquers all", she stated firmly.
I was still trying not to look down, especially when I heard something scuttle near my left foot.
Damn this all. Damn, Blake Fucking Dun, damn his sexy tight ass to the very pit of hell!
I turned forwards away from Katrina, "he'll marry me right?" I asked her.
"By next Summer" she chirped behind me.
"How many karats will my ring have?"
"One for every step that you took in this tunnel" she continued as she slowly guided me forwards through the sewer.
Sasha was still thunder struck.
Bonnie cringed forwards behind Sasha, "we got this, bitch-" she finished as she sent a shove into Sasha's back.
What happened was a series of terrible events.
Even I wouldn't wish what happened to Sasha on my worst enemy.
Not even Ana's ass deserved that.
Bonnie must have added an extra umph into her seemingly friendly pat on the back, because Sasha's form when stumbling forwards, where she promptly tripped and landed hands and knees into a river of shit.
Everyone's mouth dropped.
No one moved as Sasha's face laid mere inches away from shit water.
Her whole body locked up and frozen.
I couldn't help it, "oh fuc-"
Sasha opened her mouth and started into a full on deranged scream of pain, anger, and disgust. It felt like the whole tunnel rattled as she bellowed in pure heated disgust.
Even Trina went deathly still.
Sasha stopped.
All of us just slowly watching her.
Bonnie's eyes were wide like saucers as she looked down at probably one of the most violent people in our group.
"I am so-" Bonnie started, as Sasha's head slowly turned to look back at her.
"I'm going to fucking-"
"Sorry. Holy shit I am-"
"Then bent all your fucking limbs-"
"I didn't even mean to-"
"-And watch you choke on blood before slicing your-"
"-And I would never do it-"
"Fucking pour hot lava-"
"-Complete accident"
"-Die slowly" Sasha finished as she raged.
Sasha slowly raised to her feet, her hands dripping with unmentionables, her knees covered in filth, her eyes contained the fires of hell.
"N-now Sasha, we cannot break now" Trina started.
"I'm going to break your neck" Sasha was deathly honed onto Bonnie's paling face.
Snort.
All our heads snapped simultaneously as Cha stood behind the rest of us, a hand covering her mouth, as she tried to stop her dying laughter.
"Holy shit, you face-" Cha didn't get to finish.
As a mound of what I can only hope is toilet paper, slapped into the side of her head.
We went deathly still.
Cha looked like she was about to cry of shock, outrage, and pure disgust.
My stomach lurched as it ran down her cheek.
I gagged again.
We all turned wide-eyed towards Sasha's crazy ass, as her shoulders relaxed, "I feel better" she let out a sigh as she turned her back towards us and started to slowly stomp forward.
Cha was frozen in place.
"Thanks for taking the hit, you are a true friend" Bonnie beamed in Cha's frozen face before wading further into the tunnel after Sasha.
I blinked at her, Aria and I frozen at what just took place.
"We are never going to talk about this again" Trina comforted as she slipped from behind me to go help Cha, who seemed to completely stop breathing.
I closed my eyes as I looked away from her. The nightmares, gross it was in her hair.
Aria slowly got closer to me, before we slowly looked back at the door we had come through.
"It's probably lock right? There's no way we could get out that way" I said hopefully as she scrunched up her face.
"You keep telling yourself that"
"I hate him"
"Of course you do"
I took one step forwards, "I'm going to burn his nail file when we get back"
"Sure"
"And I'm going to carve my name into all of his cars" I continued, crunching down on a scream as a rat ran in front of me.
"Yes, you will" Aria continued to reply.
"Cut fucking triangles into his cape" I stopped breathing as my foot stepped on something crunchy.
"Yes"
"Putting my fucking portrait up in his office too. A large one, painted" I gagged again.
The smell was absolutely terrible, nothing should ever smell this bad.
"A step for every karat" Aria sighed behind me.
I groaned as we followed up closed behind Bonnie, who was making sure to keep her eyes completely on Sasha's form.
No doubt in my mind Sasha had snapped.
As she stomped forward like she wasn't in a sewer.
"I was thinking roses, or maybe daisies? Definitely not daises, what about orchids?" she continued her voice light almost dream like.
Bonnie was looking at her like she had snapped. "For your wedding?" she asked Sasha.
Her voice went dark, "for that assholes funeral" she growled.
Okay then.
"He better have been beaten, covered in dirt and dog shit when I find him. All of this shit is his fault. I'd blame global warming on that bitch if I could prove it" she growled.
Anger was definitely fueling her as she continued to march through ... gag .... the shit.
Trina and Cha finally caught up behind us.
Cha was deathly quiet, as Trina dragged her along.
We moved for what felt like hours, the smell only getting worse. There was barely any air down here either. It was the perfect environment of hell.
All of had gone silent.
Thinking no doubt.
Trina of her husband and how excited she was to see him again.
Aria of her baby daddy.
Bonnie of the man who had completely stolen her heart.
Cha of her other half, her soul mate.
Sasha was probably thinking of the best way to slit Snake's throat but make sure he lived so she could replicate it again and again.
Me?
I just wanted to hold him. I missed his cocky ass face and his angry demeanor, that it honestly made me want to throw up.
I was getting sappy.
I was trudging through .... gag ... shit, for this man.
And dark thoughts were starting to swirl.
What if Nana K was right? What if he and I were just ... not meant to be, even though ever bone in my body repelled at the thought.
But if I wasn't his 'mate', then who the fuck was?
And if he ever met her, would he pick her over me?
Would he have a choice?
I just needed to see him, to look into his eyes, know what we have is real, know I am not crazy. That we wholly belong to one another.
I just wanted him.
Though, I feel there is a solid 98% chance if Trina wouldn't have stopped me, I would have cabbage patched my way out of this nasty ass tunnel and back through that door without a second thought.
I would have found another way to get to him.
Hopefully.
Probably.
Maybe.
I missed him. Missed him so much it hurt. Missed him like a limb had vanished, a part of me wasn't where it was suppose to be.
"Small question, but what are we going to do about this Council?" Bonnie's voice shattered the stone quiet that had been surrounding us as we lurched through the tunnel.
My mind raced.
The Council was so strong that they were about to kill almost all of the Sources. Beings with unlimited power.
Six women with interesting taste and men, listening problems, and attitudes were not strong enough to take them on.
"Kill them?" Sasha threw out.
Solid option.
"We should let the guys handle it" Cha responded back.
"Their plan will most likely range from decapitation to impaling" Sasha snorted.
True.
"Please! They are way more creative than that" Bonnie snickered.
My lips tilted, they were. The type of torture they had subjected us to, oh there was no doubt in my mind that they were currently had a long very unique list of ways to repay the Council.
Little had they known they had dragged the wolves into their den.
"How am I going to tell him, you guys?" Aria's small voice shot out, quieting out chuckles.
My hand reached for her shoulder, "you've got every last one of us behind you, mama bitch. Don't worry" I shrugged.
"Yea, just say it ... maybe wait till we are out of danger, but just tell him. I bet he'll be ecstatic" Cha smiled back at Aria.
"Of course he will be, if it isn't obvious, the quick little fucker is in love with you" Sasha sighed from ahead.
Aria smiled slightly before it slipped from her lips yet again, "then why do I feel like something terrible is about to happen?" she whispered, but we all heard her.
Because we all felt it.
Something terrible was going to happen. From Sasha's twitch to Trina's constant hand ringing, we could all feel it.
Suddenly the ground shook.
We all stopped dead.
Not the ground, the sewer.
Then we heard it.
The rushing.
A water surge.
I don't think Cha was expecting me to shove her out of my way before I took off at a dead sprint.
I don't think Cha expected it when Trina slid past her as well.
I don't think Sasha was prepared for me to out run her ass, to get out of this literal, shit hole.
I don't think anyone was expecting a wave of brown shit to crash over all of us. To drag us, and douse us with actual shit.
And I really don't think anyone was expecting the bright rays of light to hit us as the shit-wave dragged us forward.
But what I think no one really expected was for the giant ass hole to spit up out with such speed. For our bodies to go sailing through the air. For us death fearing screams. Or for our bodies to land into yet another body of clean water.
Even more.
For the water we just landed in, to be directly next to a large white castle.
We broke the surface gasping, watching in awe as the shit water seemed to disappear into another floating tunnel that must have been invisible to our eyes.
Trina was the first to start towards the castle, a strange glint in her eyes, one I knew meant something much deeper than we ever expected.
Her eyes caught all of ours.
"H-he's here. I can feel him" she stumbled as she looked at all of us, her eyes wide in shock.
"I thought we established your husband with the unknown measurements was here already?" Sasha sighed as she pulled her hair out of her face.
"Not my husband. My son" she shivered.
