Brutal Valentines
Brutal Valentine's Chapter fourteen
Chapter 14 – Lost family
Told by Toki
440pm
After I slip my valentine to Skwisgaar, I decide I need more sugar and head back to the dining hall to gather some.
When I get there I spot Jean Pierre, who is shuffling around the tables. Oh good he must be bringing in more confections.
However upon closer inspection, I see something is wrong, Jean Pierre is crying, tears run down his lumpy stitched together face. I know it's not metal to care but he looks so sad I can't help it. “Jean Pierre what’s is wrongs?” I ask.
He turns to me startled “My lord have you not heard then about Lord Murderface?”
Murderface? What did Murderface do to make Jean Pierre cry? “Nos. Why whats did he does?”
“He…he...he died Master Toki.”
Wait what? I must not have heard Pierre correctly.
“Jean Pierre what did you say?”
“There was a helicopter crash. He didn't survive; it's been on the Dethklok minute for ze last couple of minutes.”
No, this can't be right! Jean Pierre must have heard wrong. Murderface, Nathan, Pickles, and my Skwisgaar, these are my friends, my band mates, my family. No way some stupid helicopter crash has stolen a member of my family away from me!
I run to the safety of my room and grab my laptop goggling Dethmintue, convinced that whatever I see on the website will not include Murderface's death. I pull up the website and the first thing I see is a distance shot of a burning Dethkopter.
No. No this isn't happening.
I stare in disbelief as underneath the burning Dethkopter is a picture of Murderface with the headline “William Murderface died in helicopter crash today.”
I throw my laptop across the room, the screen hits the floor and cracks but the images of the crash and Murderface remain. I grab Deddybear off my bed and flee the room. I can't deal with this alone. I need the others.
I find them in the rec room; Skwisgaar looks concerned when he sees me and wraps his arms around me “Toki whats is de matters?” He asks. I try to tell him but all that comes out are strangled sobs and wails as I clutch at him burying myself into his shirt.
“Shush Toki, calm down, its OK, calm down, what is going on?” Skwisgaar whispers to me in his native tongue
“Broken. Our family is broken.” I finally manage to tell him forcing the words out thru my own Native tongue. “He's dead. He burned up he's dead.”
Grief stricken, I cling to Skwisgaar, needing this anchor of comfort he's providing as I cry for our lost friend and brother.
A short while later as the Dethmintue is turned on the TV and the reality of the situation hits everyone, I go over to Nathan. I don't even know what to say to him. I know he must be hurting worst of all and I don't think anyone besides myself knows that. I sit beside him putting my arms around him and say the only thing I can say “I is so sorries Nat’an, so so sorries. I knows you cares about Morderface alots” Nathan starts crying and I hold him as Skwisgaar and Pickles sit beside us; all of us trying to give and at the same time receive as much solace as possible.
