Part 6
Otto: "You have to learn how to defend yourself. It'd be no good you being attacked and then not fighting back now would it?"
It had been two and a half months since he had shown Jake the Sniper Rifle...and nothing. Not one fight, Jake never even cursed another creature...it was depressing. For Otto at least.
Jake: "I'll cross that bridge when it comes to it, ya know...fight when i have to, kill when i NEED to. Otherwise i won't resort to violence."
Cracking his neck Otto smiled, he was slowly leading Jake into the rougher side of the city. The place were you could get attacked for a internal organ or mugged because you still had the souls on your shoes, petty stuff like that. Jake however was to wrapped up in the conversation to actually pay attention to where they were wondering. It was obvious really, the street lights were smashed, graffiti was 'honouring' every wall nearly. Trash was basically strewn everywhere. Drug needles, alcoholic beverages and used contraceptives were also amongst the rubbish that littered the pavement. Otto sneered and patted Jake on the back.
Otto: "Jake, you're one of my best friends. Heh, only friends. And although i have waited patiently, encouraged you and basically begged you to fight/kill. You haven't...and for what i'm about to do...i apologise."
Jake turned to him, cocking his head in curiosity.
Jake: "What are you talking about?"
Otto rubbed Jake's cheek and grinned.
Otto: "I...i need a body. A host if you like. I chose you cos you seemed easy...easy and willing. Obviously, you aren't as willing or easy as you seemed."
Backing up the Ariphité snarled. He did not like were this was going, what Otto was saying.
Jake: "What do you mean...a host?"
The Orkhid smiled, his eyes suddenly glowing red he turned away from the Reptile and looked at a group of Saurians who were crowded around a derelict buildings steps. Roughly there were four. Their Green skin darker than usual, possibly due to the drugs they took and injected into themselves. One didn't even have any feathers on its head. But they all wore leather jackets and all of them looked down right aggressive.
Otto: *In Jakes voice* "Hey...assholes. You want some more of that shit your pumping into yourselves, eh? Fight me...and i'll give ya some!!"
He then turned back to Jake and chuckled, dispersing into whisps of shadow.
Saurian #1: "Wha did ya say?"
Its attention had been drawn to what had been said, and suddenly the convo it was having seemed less important to being insulted. Slowly it walked over to Jake, its eye lids red and raw. Its nails short, but to make up for that, it carried a knife, a long, sharp knife.
Jake: "I-i never said anything. Honest(!)"
His voice was trembling...he was terrified. Not only was he in the roughest part of town but his 'friend' had just disappeared into nothingness after getting him in shit with the local scum.
Saurian #3: "Yeh...i believe you used the word 'Assholes' right?"
This ones tone was cold and full of hatred. It approached him from the side, snarling. Its eyes black and bloodshot.
Jake: "That...that wasn't me!!"
Saurian #1: "Really...thats interesting. Considering it sounded ALOT like ya."
Stepping forwards it grasped Jake' coller and brought him closer to his face. The knife slowly moving towards Jakes gut.
Saurian #4: "And you said if we beat ya...we get more of da stuff...heh...we win mate."
The knife got shoved into Jake, the Saurian brandishing it smiling evily as he made the wound deepen.
Jake: "Honestly...i-i never said it!!"
As he said this a lone tear ran down his cheek. He had wanted to die in the past, but Otto had shown him there was more to life than your buisness. True friendship for one. But obviously that was a sham. Jake gasped as he felt the knife cut more flesh as it was quickly pulled out, dropping to his knee's he stared up at his killer...who had no remorse in his eyes whatsoever. But as he pined for life to stop its cruel joke he felt something hard in his jacket. And although life was slowly draining out of him he was able to check what it was...his left paw searched for what it was whilst his right clutched the gaping hole. Slowly he drew out the object, the Saurians watching him as he slowly died and reached for some sort of life line.
Saurian #2: "Ya think ya would die quicker. Maybe ya need encouragement...no?"
The Saurians face crunched up in a giggle as it turned to the first creature. But the giggle turned to a shocked expression once it saw what the Reptile was drawing out...a gun...a Magnum.
Saurian #2: "Shit...!"
It lunged forward and grasped Jakes arm that was holding the gun. Its claws wrapped around the gun and tried to tug it away from the dying cretin. But strangely enough the grasp of the dying Ariphité was strong, as if something else was holding the gun. Jakes face was paling and although he was holding a gun his eyes were still full of fear.
Jake: "W-whats happening..."
The Saurian who was attempting to snatch the gun away was getting more and more frustrated. Twisting Jakes arm to try and snap it off and thus retrieve the gun. But Jake was having none of it, he was getting more and more scared. Not only was he dying but now he was hearing voices...Otto's voice.
Otto: "Pull the trigger you fool(!) Pull it...if you do, you will die in peace...just pull it though, rid the world of some scum(!) Damn you Jake...YOUR DYING...YOU HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED!! KILL THE..."
*Gunshot*
The Saurian gasped, the bullet had gone straight through its liver. Forcing it to die...but not as quickly as it would like. It dropped to its side and spat up blood. Jake finally felt as if he was free. And then Otto re-appeared...and his freedom slowly dispersed just as Otto once did.
Otto: "F*cking Finally(!)"
