Suzy’s Strange Saga

You don’t have time to go hunting for a gun when Diana’s already at your throat. Besides, if you shoot her, you risk killing her and you’ve still got that plan to sacrifice her ass.

Diana’s grip and pull on the bat begins loosening your on grip on it. She’s going to have it soon, but since she’s so focused on the upper body, she’s not really paying attention to her lower defenses.

You let go of the bat, which causes her to fall backwards slightly. Not enough to fall, but enough to put her a bit off balance and back up from you. Within this brief window of relief you follow up with your next attack and as hard as you can you kick her RIGHT IN THE PUSSY.

Diana’s grip on the bat fails and you’re quick to retrieve it while she’s grabbing her girl parts in agony.

“And I don’t dye my hair, I’m a fucking natural blonde, you fucking bitch!” you say and smash Diana’s nose in with the pommel of the bat. She falls to the floor bellowing in pain.

Meanwhile Diana’s finally returned with the duct tape as well as a pair of handcuffs.

“Shit, what happened?” Helen asks.
“She attacked me again, what the fuck do you think happened? Come on let’s tie this bitch up, I just heard an explosion in the house and I want to go help Bobby.”

You and Helen waste no time in handcuffing Diana’s hands behind her back and then duct taping her ankles together to the point where the bottom part of her legs look like a mummy. Of course when she won’t stop swearing and cursing at you both, you duct tape her mouth shut as well.

“Okay, she should be secure. I’m going to grab that gun that’s probably somewhere still on the stairs and check on Bobby. Here, you take this and keep an eye on that bitch.” You say to Helen and hand her the bat.
“Okay, please be careful Suzy.” Helen remarks and you’re off.

On your way down the stairs you find the pistol that was dropped and take it. Then when you get to the ground floor you start cautiously making your way to the left wing of the house. You still haven’t seen anyone yet.

The smell of gunpowder and smoke is in the air of this part of the house and peering in one of the rooms you see the results of what you assume is from grenades. The room is charred, blackened and wrecked. Whatever items were in this room have been completely destroyed and there is now a large hole allowing direct entry from the outside to the inside.

You also notice small splotches of blood on the floor causing an easier to follow trail. Though who’s blood it is you have no idea. You can only hope it’s Aaron’s.

“Shit, I really hope you’re alright Bobby.” You say to yourself and begin to follow the trail.

You pass through a series of rooms to get to your destination. Some furnished, some empty. Eventually you get to a small room that has a door leading to stairs going down. You wonder if this is the dungeon that was mentioned to you in passing before.

While you’re a little reluctant to go down there, this is where the blood trail leads. The smell emanating from that direction isn’t pleasant though it sounds silent down there. You slowly walk down the steps.

The closer you get to the bottom, the smell becomes worse and when you finally get to the bottom there is no mistaking that this is indeed the dungeon, but it’s a complete wreck.

There are body parts, gore and blood all over the place. A few of the cages you see are destroyed and at the farthest wall there is a large chunk taken out of it. Apparently there was more explosive fun down here.

And sitting close to one of the more intact cages on a sturdy looking chair is Bobby looking down at the floor. Most of his clothing is covered blood and looks a bit dejected, but doesn’t look hurt so that’s good at least.

“Bobby? Bobby are you okay?” you ask causing him to look up.
“Oh yes, I’m fine…what happened to you?” Bobby says and starts getting up.

You didn’t think about how you might look after coming back from your tussle with Diana. You’re probably sporting a few cuts and bruises of your own.

“Oh, I had a knock down drag out with your sister Diana. Tried to kill me and Helen this time. We took care of it though.”
“She dead?”
“No, but I decided if I have to sacrifice someone on my wedding day, I’m requesting…no I’m demanding that it be her. So we’ve got her tied up for that purpose.”

Bobby doesn’t respond in too much surprise at your request.

“Well, I think after everything you’ve gone through, I think you deserve that right. It’s just as well anyway considering Aaron’s crazy ass just blew up all the prisoners.” Bobby says with a sigh.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t we win and everything has worked out?” you ask.
“Yeah, it did…it’s just…I dunno. I guess some of Aaron’s ranting just got to me that’s all.”
“Well what did he say?”
“Oh he just kept accusing me of not really being dedicated to Tiamat. I dunno, I know I shouldn’t pay any attention to it, but I can’t help but think he might have had a point. Maybe I am a little caught up in ritual…but still I THINK it’s important to revere Tiamat in a formal way! Just because I’m not completely running amok stealing army trucks and throwing explosives at shit doesn’t make me any less dedicated to glorious chaos! I mean…does it?”

And that’s your cue to support the fragile male ego again.

“Well of course it doesn’t my love. Your way is obviously a more intelligent approach to chaos. Just because something is chaotic, doesn’t mean it’s mindless. You’re playing the long game and attempting to build a dynasty. Instead of burning out quick, you’re plotting and planning labyrinthian schemes to eventually burn them all.” You say while looking into Bobby’s eyes and stroking the side of his face.
“I’m so glad you understand me.” Bobby remarks and hugs you tightly.

Bobby really does always feel completely better with just a few supportive words from you. Its sort of amazing really since you didn’t realize you had this sort of power over him, then again you two were never really in a situation like this before except the first time you met and that was when you counted on him to “rescue you.” That dynamic has clearly changed. You guess this is what his grandmother meant when she spoke to you in the dream.

With that settled, Bobby and you make your way back to where Helen and Diana are. When you arrive, you see several other family members who finally came out of hiding.

“Bobby you’re alive! I’m so glad to see you’re safe!” Helen remarks.

Bobby just nods acknowledging Helen, but then turns his attention to everyone as a group.

“Helen, you go check on the kids, if you haven’t already and YOU four, I’m gonna have another long talk with, but we’re going to do that later. Right now, Brandon, Ronald you grab Diana and throw her in one of those cells in the dungeon. There’s a couple of good ones still left. Afterwards, all of you are going to help me clean up this place…shit there is so much to do.”

Bobby tells you not to worry about doing anything as you did enough just having to deal with Diana and he wants you to just rest up for tomorrow. You offer to help, but he really won’t hear of it. You don’t press the issue since hey if he doesn’t want you doing any work, you’re not going to argue about that. Before you leave he tells you that he’s got a spare gun in his clothing drawer just in case of an emergency.

Before you head to your room, you grab a quick meal since you realize you didn’t really eat yesterday. By the time you get to your room, you’re really glad you didn’t have to help Bobby, because you’re really starting to feel the aches and pain all over your body. You take another shower, which helps a little.

You spend the remainder of the day and night in the bedroom just resting. You hear noise occasionally from downstairs. At one point you hear the sound of vehicles outside and looking out the window you see someone driving the damaged army truck in front of where Aaron crashed through the gate as a temporary barrier you guess.

Eventually you hear a knock on the door. You ask who it is and it’s Helen. You tell her to come in.

“Hey Suzy, I just came in to check on you. Are you feeling okay?” Helen asks.
“Well my body hurts all over, but other than that, I’m fine. You?” You ask.
“Oh, I’m a little sore too, but nothing to worry about.”
“Hm, so how’s the clean up going?”
“Oh, I suspect that will be going on through the night.”
“Well I guess Bobby won’t be coming to bed tonight then.” You remark.

Then Helen walks towards the bed closer and asks:

“Did…did you want me to get into bed with you? I mean I know it’s not the same but...”

You’re almost at a loss for words.

“Excuse me? I just meant he won’t be coming to bed, I wasn’t even implying anything sexual, and why are you offering to get into bed with me?! Y’know Helen, you’ve been putting out some strange signals towards me a couple times these past few days and at this point I’m starting to think you’re attracted to me…”

Helen’s face turns a little pale and she attempts to turn to run away.

“Helen, stop! I wanna know what’s going on in that head of yours, so come back.” You demand and sit up as Helen slowly walks back over.

“I’m…sorry Suzy…I just thought…I dunno…you liked me…” Helen says looking down.
“I do like you, but…wait, so you don’t love Bobby anymore?” you ask.
“I do…but I feel like we’ve been so close these past two days, I think I’m starting to fall for you too. I mean when our lips were touching I felt a closer connection to you than I ever had before.”
“You were giving me mouth to mouth resuscitation!” you shout.
“But you embraced me in your arms! You even slipped your tongue in my mouth and when you opened your eyes you didn’t even let go immediately…” Helen points out.
“I…I… was out of it! I thought you were Bobby!” you exclaim.
“Bobby kisses like me?” Helen asks.
“No, you tasted sweeter…I mean…fuck…Gah! Look I thought you were Bobby okay?”
“Okay…I’m sorry Suzy. I didn’t mean to offend you.”
“I’m not offended, this is just…weird though. I’m not a lesbian, not to mention I’m going to marry your brother. (Sigh) Look Helen, I’m a little tired to deal with this right now. I think we might have to address this in more detail tomorrow.”
“But the wedding is tomorrow.”
“Well, I guess that will be one more thing to deal with then, so until then good night. And before you even ask, no I won’t tell Bobby about this. I’m sure he’s got enough on his mind.” You say.
“Thank you Suzy.” Helen says and then slowly walks out of your room.

After she leaves you rub your face in disbelief of how this day has ended. This whole week has felt so random that you feel like you’re in one of those choose your own adventure books, you can’t even imagine how tomorrow is going to go.

The only upside is unless this is some really elaborate seduction plot, Helen’s not planning to kill you like you thought she might be.

Then again, who the hell ever knows in this house?

As you start to fall asleep, you can imagine Grandma Morningstar is going to have a field day with this one.
