Chapter 12: Chapter 12

'Rainbow! Rainbow, open this door!!!' I shouted, hammering on the door, it was a soundproof heavy metal door; I was screwed.

'Daddy, be quiet,' Yolanda snapped. 'You are ruining my vibe. Now sit down, I have three more songs to sing.' I hammered on the door louder.

'Somebody, get me out of here!!!'

'Teddy Berry!' She shouted harshly, 'sit down!' I slid down the door, almost whimpering.

'No, don't leave me here.' I cried.

'Can you see the…' Fuck my life. I'll kill you, Rainbow bitch!

Cookie's standpoint

'Cookie, you're so awesome, so awesome…' I sang as I took out the whipped cream to add to my waffles. I danced around as I sang, men! I'm super cool! I emptied the whipped cream on the three pieces of waffles and rubbed my hands together.

'Bitch,' I looked up, it was that River guy.

'Bastard, what is it?'

'Who gave you permission to eat from our kitchen?'

'Who gave you permission to be born?' I scoffed. 'Go away, I'm busy.'

'You are more annoying than your stupid black friend,' I looked at his face and burst into laughter, I know Ursula's ferocious slap mark anywhere. 'Why are you laughing?' He asked puzzledly.

'You are such a weakling getting hit by girls,' I laughed. 'You got slapped, didn't you?'

'No, I didn't.'

'I know her slap anywhere and that is one of her signature face ripping slap, your cheek has a nasty bruise, and that's good for you.'

'Just shut up, I got this bruise in a manly fight with one of the men here,' he said proudly. I snorted and rolled my fork around.

'Did you now,' I said sarcastically.

'Yes, a very manly fight with someone.'

'And how many blows did you land on that “man” you fought with?' I asked jestingly, making air quotation to exaggerate my mockery point.

'I beat him up badly,'

'Should I ask Carlos?'

'Carlos doesn't know about it… Just be quiet and answer my question. Have you seen boss? Carlos is looking for him.'

'Do I look like your boss's keeper,' I seethed.

'It was a question, don't be so bitchy about it.'

'He went to a private concert,'

'Private concert?' He asked confusedly.

'Go away, cow, my food is about to fuck my mouth, and you are disturbing our privacy.'

'Who created you? I need to ask him why he gave a witch such a cute face and angelic voice.'

'Awwwwn, he thinks I'm cute.' I cooed, batting my lashes mockingly.

'You wish,' he looked at my plate and shook his head. 'Pray you die of diarrhea.'

'Been there already,' I smirked.

'Psycho,' I rolled my eyes and continued eating. I eventually got so involved in my food romance that I didn't notice the angry, sweating guy in front of me, not until he buried my face into the remaining food. I couldn't breathe, I tried to escape, but the person had my head shoved in deep and in place. I reached my long nails over my head and sank it into his hand. He hissed and back away. I scrambled away, coughing and gasping for air.

'What was that,' I coughed, looking at Yolanda's dad.

'You locked me in there with her, now I can't feel my ears and head,' he said almost inaudibly. 'My head,' he whimpered.

'Every man for himself,' I said, wiping the cream off my face and licking it. Tasty.

'You are going to pay for that, I will lock you up too, so you'll know how it feels to get your head pounded by her voice.'

'Timmy is an average kid

And no one understands

Mom and dad and Vicky

Always giving him command…' I sang loudly and horribly to continue from where Yolanda stopped.

'Oh god,' he breathed and walked out. I burst into laughter, am I lucky or what!

Ted's standpoint

I didn't have the strength to yell at Carlos as he laughed his ass out, it's a good thing he came to save me, but he wouldn't stop laughing. My head was pounding terribly, I had almost finished a whole bottle of aspirin, but nothing was working. The head doctor was injecting me with something that could cool it down.

'Men! When River said Viona said you were in a private concert, I understood immediately. I can't believe she locked you up in there.'

'Be quiet,' I whispered.

'Fuck! She's a bad singer, just like your mother and sister, and your father and…'

'Don't you dare complete that statement,' I threatened.

'But you are also terrible. Remember that time you had your first crush? How you thought singing to her would make her like you more?'

'Please don't remind me,' I whispered, closing my eyes as the doctor pulled out the needle. She was the first and only girl I crushed on, like seriously crushed on. I was thirteen then and badly wanted her to like me more than she already did. Evil Carlos convinced me to sing to her, that it would make her love me. I can't believe I was sick enough to believe him. I sang for her, and then she tried to excuse herself to run away. In the process of running away from me, she tumbled down the school staircase and almost died. Survived but lost her memories for a year. I vowed never to sing again. Music is not for our family.

'Tale as old as time,' he sang the foolish song he tricked me into singing.

'Carlos, shut it.'

'True as it can be…'

'Sing again and I swear, I will make Yolanda sing for you for ten hours.'

'Pinned,' he made a mock lip pinning but still laughed.

'I just need to find a way to get back at this witch, the very witch. What was I thinking letting her stay? Now my death certificate is for sure!'

'Are you talking about Viona?'

'She's a witch, I must get my revenge.'

'You, Teddy Allen, plotting to prank a girl?' He asked amusedly. I cringed, why did my mother name me Teddison again? My middle name is worse. That is why I changed my name to Ame, but he would never stop calling me that.

'I am not pranking her, I'm just going to teach her a lesson.'

'That's the same thing,'

'No, it's not. Pranking is childish, lesson is not.' I defended sternly. I looked away from his bewildered expression. Yes, even I am surprising myself.

'Are you alright, Teddy? It seems like the song has gotten into your head.' I really don't know what's suddenly wrong with me.

'Stop calling me that,' I snapped, I winced at the pain in my head. 'I'm okay, I know what I'm doing. Tomorrow, let her clean the coyote's cage, dress her up like a maid.'

'Are you sick?'

'No, I'm not.'

'Boss, can I come in?' River asked from the other side of the door. 'Marilyn is here.'

'Come in,' Carlos said with eyes still fixed on me. River opened the door and ushered the girl in, she intentionally stepped on his foot and pushed him, so he would fall. Again, River fell flat on the floor.

'Oh, I'm sorry, that was unintentionally,' she said sweetly and stepped on his hand. 'Oops,' I looked at Carlos questionably. He shrugged and returned his gaze to her. 'Good morning, sir,'

'Afternoon,' I corrected. 'The information we got only gave us his schedules, not the location of all his bases and safe houses.'

'The information is strictly documented in a book, that is a risk he can never take. If I may suggest, I already pass the locations of the ones I know. If you want to attack, you should attack him from all angles, so he won't have time to change location. Also, the schedule should be dealt with the exact actions, so he won't feel predicted and have enough time to change it.'

'I already know that is what I should do, I don't need you telling me that,' she bowed frighteningly.

'I'm sorry, sir,'

'All of you, get out.' I ordered the rest of them, including the doctors. They didn't question, just stood up and walked out. I used my finger to signal her to come, she walked to me quiveringly. I pointed to the floor.

'Sir?'

'Kneel,'

'I should do what?'

'Kneel,' she looked around in fear. 'Don't let me repeat myself,' I threatened. She gulped and went on her knees between my legs. I lifted her chin up and stared into her jade lenses eyes. 'Your rainbow friend, what is her real name?'

'Sir?'

'I really hate repeating myself,'

'Cookie, her real name is Cookie.' I'm not the only one with name issue parents.

'What is the one thing that can weaken her, make her helpless?'

'I don't know,'

'Should I give you out to my boys to finish you up?'

'No,' she whimpered. 'To the best of my knowledge, her mother is her only weakness, her mother, and food.'

'Food?'

'Approximately,'

'Get out.' She stood up and ran out. I smiled with satisfaction, Cookie. All I need is her phone and I get what I need.
