CHAPTER 8/ That smile, that damned smile.

  Donny

  I have to say that I was feeling good& actually I was felling amazing! I had so much stress pent up and when this bitch here started to act the way she did it just went boom! Still flipping people on camera is probably not the best thing i could have done. Meh no biggie what`s the worst that could happen.

  "Now if we are done Jara, how about you pick up your crew and get the fu&Why do I hear boss music suddenly?!"

  I couldn`t even finish my sentence because the way that Jara looked at me was screaming murder, and not the fun kind of murder. Her cameramen were also looking at me with disgust& ok maybe saying that bullshit about kicking the kid and insulting everybody with a wish for them to get cancer was probably not that good of an idea&

  "You bastard& Do you have any idea who you are messing with!?"

  Holy shit why is suddenly so cold here! There is also a strong breeze suddenly coming from Jara& and oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!!! Bitch be angry!

  "I-i-I want you to g-ge&" Fuck and my stuttering was back as well

  "Shut the fuck up you stuttering POWERLESS CRIPLE!"

  And there we go! She knew i was a Gray and that was enough to freeze me in fear, it was over i am definitely going to die, and to confirm my suspicions she started compressing what looked like a ball made of air in her hand... oh great an Air Elementalist! One time I was drunk and I got hit by one of those balls as a dare& it took me three days to recover and that guy was definitely not angry like this lady of death now.

  "You clearly have no idea who you are fucking with! YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY *HISS*"

  And now she is also hissing. Next time when half of reedit says not to fuck with a Cat-Beast Kin I will definitely listen!

  "W-w-wait! We are on stream! Y-you wouldn`t&"

  "Do you really think people will care& After what you did to that child and the way you acted towards the INFINITY L00p members?"

  The evil grin she was making made me whimper& fuck I was to good! She actually believed everything I said!

  "And plus&"

  Oh crap boos music intensifies

  "I am just an *OLD* washed up wana-be who can`t make in real show business that should get cancer! So nobody is watching R-I-G-H-T?"

  & BY THE VOID AND ITS NOW FORGOTEN SEALS! I PUSHED HER BUTTON!

  And then I saw it& more like I felt it. It got extremely hard to breathe as the breeze that was clearly coming from Jara suddenly got compressed into a ball of death in her hand. With a scream of furry she threw into my face and i could swear I heard the sound barrier breaking. Time actually slowed as the see through ball flew directly towards my face, probably the Void Gods doing one last cruel moments before I die. I just closed my eyes and waited for the inevitable. If I am lucky she held back and I will probably have a good number of broken bones& but considering how pissed she was I doubted it. I was definitely dead& well at least I went out with a bang& fuck!

  After what felt like a eternity I heard a *BOOM* and the sound of books falling and wood breaking behind me & huh? Behind me? Actually nothing even hurts.

  First I open only one of my eyes to see if I am looking at the light at the end of the tunnel. That was soon followed by my second eye since I was not sure if I was seeing things correctly. In front of me was fluffy& well more like three fluffy strawberry blond tails.

  I was sure I was imagining things and that this was just my brain going crazy since the person standing in front of me was none other than Luna from INFINITY L00p. Not to mention the blood thirst and power she was radiating made Jara look like a little kitty.

  "Really Jara? Attacking him just because he rejected you? I thought you had more class then that."

  Although Luna was speaking in a calm way, there was no mistaken the malice that came behind her voice. I was also not the only one who thought that since Jara backed off a few steps with her eyes wide and clear fear behind them.

  "Lu-u-u-una! W-w-what are you doing here!"

  Oh and now Jara is stuttering! Hahah that`s how it feels bitch! Crap that would have been much cooler if I actually spoke out loud instead of hiding behind Luna.

  I also noticed that the cameras were off and her guys started to pack their stuff slowly. After a few moments of utter panic Jara took a deep breath and made that self-important smirk.

  "It`s not polite to cut into our date dear. It makes you look ne&"

  Me? Date YOU?! You wish bitch! I activate my interrupt card!

  "Oh Luna can cut in whenever she wants since my answer would be YES of course! And by the way are you going to pay for those books?! They are not air blast proof!"

  I really need to learn when to shut up. Interrupting her and pissing her off almost got me killed for fuck sake. Not to mention this lady destroyed the whole section of the library when I look at it! Holy crap I would have been blown into hundreds of pieces if that hit me!

  I guess Luna protected me or something& or she is here to finish me off personally since I just insulted all of them&

  "You heard him Jara. Plus there are some things I need to get straight with Mr. Porter here. He apparently didn`t like the way we handle our & *difficult* fans. Not to mention all those insults he gave us. I believe I need to have a word with him"

  And then she looked towards me& and that`s where it all began folks. That smile, that damned smile. That damned smile that was a combination of flirt and mischief. It was incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing! That smile is the reason everything started, if I only knew how much trouble it was going to bring me& that damned smile& wait& insult?!

  OH SHIT! I was definitely too good with my act! Did I just change my executioner from a crazy Cat-Lady to a Beautiful Fox-Lady& I mean there are worse ways& by the void I need a shrink!

  Jara went red as she started approaching Luna while pointing her finger at me

  "Now listen here Luna! I was here first! And this little powerless bastard is mi&"

   But Jara never got the chance to finish her sentence&

  "You have three minutes&starting now."

  If somebody told me that I would compare a beautiful Beast-Kin pop star to a bogeyman I would tell them they were crazy& well not anymore. Luna`s voice sounded like it came from the throat of a monster. The blue glow also intensified and my subconscious was screaming to run, that this was death in front of me.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  One minute, one minute and forty seven seconds to be precise. That`s how long it took for Jara and her crew to pack up and run away from this place. I would have laughed with the expressions they were making and that demon cameraman even fell at one moment and started running on his fours. But unfortunately I was next.

  So I just slowly took a deep breath and looked towards the sky praying that Felix will get to my laptop before the police. Luna also turned towards me and she had a small smile on her face as she was waiting for me to finish. Maybe I should get up on the table again since Luna was actually whole head taller than me.

  "Just get it over with&"

  The sound of my voice was definitely of somebody who gave up. This is why good deeds never pay off.

  But contrary to my belief Luna just tilted her head to the side clearly confused. And her expression was beyond cute.

  "You`re here because of the things I said right? So just kill me and get it over with&"

  It took a few more moments but looks like she finally understood what I meant. And then she started to laugh

  "Pfffff! Hahahhaha"

  Even though the voice of her laughing was beautiful& it was not helping. Great don`t tell me she is one of those psychos who tortures their victims. Great! Why am surrounded by these crazy women today.

  "Ahahah! Wait! Hahahah&& Pffffffff! Hahahah! Sorry! Wait, hahahahah!!" She continued laughing while I just raised my eyebrow & that only made it worse. After about five minutes she finally stopped wiping the tears from her eyes. "Ah! Sorry, sorry! I just couldn`t help myself! That was to funny! But before I kill you, answer me something Mr. Porter."

  I know where this is going. In this world if you have power and fame you can do whatever you want. That`s how it functions and how it will always function. I know the rumors about them; I know the rumors about every celebrity and person of importance. Fame and Power let you do whatever you want in this fucked up world and me&. Well. For a powerless like me nobody will even shed a tear except my family& and that`s a maybe as well. There are so many more games and things I wanted to try. This world Is cruel&

  "Did you really make Rocco carry you up the stairs? Actually! You made him drive you to the complete opposite direction first to get a burger from your favorite barbecue no?"

  Luna bent down a little to make sure her one visible eye was on my level. Not mention she was very close to me and I could feel hear breath tht smelled like sweet cherries, combine that with that mischievous smile and you get an extremely red version of me that was very close to a heart attack.

  "W-w-what? Of course! Do you have any idea how much my leg hurt! Not to mention I was actually hungry because I lost both my lunch and breakfast! My leg st& wait a minute!? What did you just say?!"

  What did she say! And by that smug look and raised eyebrow now she was clearing enjoying my reaction& does she!?..

  "You& you know?!"

  Luna then gave me that beautiful smile again.

  "Yes Donny, we know. So let me clear the misunderstand you had about me and rest of the girls. Actually let me be the first one to say it. Thank you for helping that boy, our staff and more than anything thank you for helping us with Jara"

   I see& she knew the truth. Well looks like I won`t die today. Oh god this was a very stressful day.

  "I actually came to talk to you about the email and the video& But to tell you the truth there is no need anymore. You outdid yourself!"

  I could only bashfully nod my head. Looks like I was right about my choice since the smile she gave me was worth it& that damned smile.

  "Tell me something. Are you free in a couple of hours?"

  Huh!? Wait! What did she just ask!?

  ************

  "Ok I need to take a shower, shave, get some stuff sorted out& fuck I am acting like a love-struck teenager!"

  And could you blame me? I was basically half running towards my apartment to get ready. Considering how much it took me to get home I have about twenty minutes until Luna comes to pick me up, she had to go take care of something and said she will come get me.

  I know it`s technically just a thank you dinner for the situation with Jara& but still it`s a win in my book and the smile ever since I left the library just won`t leave my face.

  As I finally entered my building and made my way towards the 7th floor basically skipping every two steps I got a very bad feeling& and my feeling was right. The first thing I noticed was that my door was slightly open. Now usually I am one of those guys who spits on the movies that keep to the classic clich閟 of *Let`s spilt up, something is there let`s check it out, oh look a dark alley let`s take a shortcut&* but this was my home and panic was the winning vote in my subconscious.

  Who knows maybe I`m just paranoid and I forgot to close the door. With that small spark of hope I pushed my door just slightly to peek& that didn`t last even one second because I immediately pushed it wide open slamming it into the wall as I ran inside

  "No! No! NO, NO, NO!!!"

  My whole place was destroyed. Everywhere was signs of destruction and leftovers of my now broken stuff. There was even so much garbage I was sure that somebody actually just dragged a few trash bins and emptied them around.

  My coffee machine was completely dented like somebody clearly used something like a baseball bat to hit it around. My microwave had signs of burning and I could see some metal and eggs inside of it. The laptop I loved was at the middle of the floor with half of the parts around it and my PS4& BY THE VOID MY BABY! It was impaled on a metal pole!

  But I guess the absolute worse thing was all the graffiti and writings that were all over the walls, floor and ceiling.

  *Fucking monster!*, *You think kicking children is funny!*, *How dare you disrespect the INFINITY L00p!*, * DEMON LIVES MATER*, *POWERLESS SCUM!*, *DON`T YOU DARE INSULT THE GODESSES! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY YOU EVEN SAW THEM YOU GRAY BITCH!* * SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE* ,* I WILL KILL YOU BY THE END OF THE WEEK PORTER!* and those were the nice ones. There were many more insults and curses and so many death threats using my name as well.

  The bathroom was a disaster with broken glass and shit that was smeared all over the walls. My room& my room was nothing better. The clothes were ripped up and the bed had a giant charred hole clearly showing signs of burn. But I had a more important thing on mid. I ran towards my closet and my worst fear came to fruition.

  "&. It`s gone& it`s all fucking gone"

  The envelop that had most of my savings, bank accounts and documents was gone& I had nothing. No passport, no certificate of birth, no savings& nothing. The only thing left were my ID and maybe 40$ bucks that was in my wallet. I was definitely on the verge of tears but the sound from my living room drew my attention

  *Riiiing, Riiiing, Riiing*

  There I found my house phone& I couldn`t believe It was still alive though. I didn`t even know why I had this shit in my apartment! Nobody used house phones anymore since telemarketers had free rein to call you. But this little bastard that had his handle broken in half was still working somehow.

  "H-h-hello?"

  There was allot of static and break off on the sound& but there was no mistaking the sound of anger and rage that came from the other line.

  "DONNY! YOU BAST& WHA& DID YOU D& LIBRARY!*

  Tilse was definitely having one of her *I will destroy the world* rage moments.

  "No wait! Tilse! I can explain, it was&"

  But I guess my side was not registering any sound since she just continued to scream& or maybe she just simply didn`t care.

  "NOT ONLY THAT&. MY GRANDAU&.. VIDEO! YOU SHO&. ASHAMED! ZACHARI&. H&. BRO&! YOU`RE FIRED! I&. SEE YOU AGAIN&. POLICE!!! I GA& TO MY SON-IN-L& BEAT YOU UP!!! DI& MONSTER "

  At that exact moment my phone also decided to finally stop clinging to life and die& did this little bastard just stay alive to make me even more depressed& wait! Why am I joking around, I am fired! And did she just say her Son-In-Law will beat me up! Oh shit that guy was an ex-convict!

  My place is destroyed and defiled, it`s going to be a nightmare to stay here actually I would be an idiot to stay here! I just made so many enemies and they all know where I live! No money, no documents& I have nothing!

  "Can this get any worse!?"

  And since universe is a bitch that is constantly at that special time of the month& the pipe from the apartment upstairs broke again and it started to basically rain indoors all over me& now I loved the rain but this is ridiculous!

  I just sat in the middle of my apartment doing everything I can not to cry. Well I definitely unlocked the achievement *Murphy`s Bitch* with this one& what am I going to do now! Where am I even going to go now!

  "WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE VOID HAPPENED HERE!?"

  The scream from the entrance made me turn around in panic. I was thinking that maybe one of the attackers came back. I relaxed when I saw it was Luna. She was just standing there in complete shock as she started to look around. With her hands over her mouth and her eye wide.

  I wanted to answer, I wanted to make some stupid joke on decoration or urban destruction style that was in & but I just couldn`t. I was just sitting there in a now flooded apartment trying to decide my next move.

  She was still in shock for a few more moments, but then that shock turned into rage& which was then followed by pity once she cast her glance upon me again. She was staring at me for a few more moments until she made a resolved look. Luna immediately took out her phone and started to dial somebody as she walked out.

  I was not even listening to what she was saying since my head was going full overdrive trying to think of a possible solution for my current situation. My only choice was to go back home. That was definitely my last choice& and my only choice.

  I left it for a reason all those years ago and I didn`t go back once I lost my university stipend& but now& I really don`t have a choice anymore. I will just start working with dad and hope that my stupid little town didn`t get a chance to watch my video.

  "Hey Donny."

  Luna was standing next to me getting soaked in the pseudo rain with me. She then said those words. Words I would have never ever thought to hear from a woman like her.

  "Let`s go back to my place."
