Chereads / MY LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD / Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Joshua eyes begin to open and he sees his familiar room ceiling.He looks down and see he is laying on his bed.But then Joshua's head begins to ache and he sits up and grabs his head that's covered with bandages.Then he remembers what happened last night.

Joshua: Amy , where's Amy!-shouted while his head still has a stabbing pain.-

Blanchette is sitting on a chair , resting her head on his bed and sleeping but is awaken by the ruckus.She lifts her head up and sits straight up and put her hand on Joshua's shoulder, causing him to calm down.

Blanchette: Joshua ,Amy died.- said with consoling eyes.-

This causes Joshua to become white as a ghost and he looks down at his blankets in shock.

Blanchette leans into hug Joshua and then she hugs him tightly.

Blanchette:I heard what happened to you and Amy , you guys went on a date to the slums and was attacked by three werewolves ,you killed the three werewolves but Amy lost her life, you passed out and Jonathan found you and Amy. It's not your fault...

Joshua's head begins to pain again with a sharp stabbing pain.

Blanchette: It's all your fault why couldn't you save her after the pledge you made, you nothing but a monster.

After hearing Blanchette's words Joshua pushes her away and pulls out of the hug but he don't see Blanchette but Amy with her guts laying on his bed causing his white sheets to become bloody.He scoots up away from Amy and sits in the corner of the bed in shock with his eyes wide open.

Amy changes back to Blanchette in Joshua's eyes and his headache subsides.

Blanchette: What's wrong Joshua , Amy's funeral is tomorrow.-Blanchette said with a worried look on her face.-

Joshua's head begin to pain again.

Blanchette changes again into a bloody Amy.

Amy: Joshua this is all your fault look what you done to me.-Said as she gestures to her stomach where there's a hole and bloody intestines laying on his bed.-

Joshua jumps off of his bed out of fear and runs stumbling out the door.Then he runs stumbling down the hallway hyperventilating and sweating until he runs into Jonathan causing him to fall back on the ground.

Jonathan: How you doing Joshua ,I know her death is hard but you have to pull...

Joshua's head begins to pain with the same pain.

Jonathan: You Bastard! ,you caused my daughter to die ,it's all your fault, couldn't you use your brain and think taking her to the slums is dangerous.-Said with a furious expression.-

Joshua gets up and runs away from Jonathan.

Joshua: I'm sorry ,I'm sorry ,I'm sorry-he mutters this constantly as he runs out the door and runs stumbling through the garden dirtying his pyjamas until he trips and sits against a tree and holds his head for his head pain to go away.

But then he feel a hand on his shoulder he looks up and sees Lancelot faking a smile ,his headache subsides and Lancelot sits next to him against the tree.

Lancelot: So what's up?

Joshua looks at him with a fake smile.

Joshua: What do you mean what's up ,I caused Amy to die ,it's all my fault, my fault ,my fault...-Joshua begins muttering. -

Lancelot laughs causing Joshua to snap out of his trance.

Lancelot: So what she died, it's in the past, its sad I know but are you going to mope around the whole time or are you going to get stronger and never let something like that ever happen again and own up to your mistakes like a man or run away from them like a coward.-said stoically.-

Joshua: Yeah you right, Tommorow I will mourn Amy .My friend and wear this bracelet with pride and never let anyone share the same fate as her.-Joshua looks at the bracelet Amy made for him on his wrist.

Lancelot stands up after they been sitting there in silence for a while as Joshua sat remembering all the good times he had with Amy from the morning to the evening.

Lancelot: Ok let's head back Joshua.

Joshua: Yeah ,let's go back inside.-said as Joshua gets up. -

Joshua and Lancelot is walking in the hallway heading towards their room.

Joshua: So did you fix things with Merlin yet?

Lancelot: No ,I'm still figuring stuff out.-said as he looks like he is thinking hard about something. -

Joshua: Okay dude , whatever you say but don't make the wrong choice.

Joshua and Lancelot finally makes it to there room and enters and sees Merlin and Blanchette who seems stressed out.

Joshua: Hey guys.-said while waving his hand awkwardly and fake smiling.-

Merlin and Blanchette both gets angry looks on their faces .

Merlin: What you mean hey guys ,Blanchette was worried sick where you were.-said with a frustrated look on her face.-

Joshua: You look worried too, Aaaaw my caring sister.-said mockingly. -

This makes Merlin hit Joshua on his head causing blood to drip from his bandages and him to become drowsy and unresponsive.

Blanchette: Joshua don't die.-said as she covers her face with her hands.-

Merlin becomes worried and helps him to sit on the bed and begin to heal his head as best she can with a worried look on her face.

Merlin: fewh, Im done.I think he should be okay now ,sorry for that, I'm so use to hitting you.-said as she wipes the sweat off her head.-

Joshua: You almost killed me!-Said vividly stressed.-

Merlin: I said Sorry.Where were you anyway?

Joshua: I sat in the garden where Lancelot found me and helped me gain back my sanity.

Merlin looks with a disgusted face at Lancelot and Lancelot looks down with shame ,averting her gaze.

Merlin: I'll be heading to my room it's already late.-said as she seems irritated by Lancelot and walks out. -

Blanchette hugs Joshua again.

Blanchette: I'm happy you feeling okay again Joshua .-Then she releases the hug and leaves the room -

Joshua and Lancelot puts on clean pyjamas and get into their beds to sleep.

A few moments later.

Joshua: Lancelot are you still awake?

Lancelot is awake but is acting like he is sleeping.

Joshua raises his arm to the ceiling and looks at the bracelet Amy made for him.

Joshua begins to cry with mucus running out of his nose.

Joshua :I'm sorry Amy ,I'm sorry Amy...-he kept saying it softly while crying until his arm dropped down and he fell asleep.-

Lancelot heard everything and then goes to sleep.
