Ursine-Crane Legacy ~ Chapter 12
Before I start this chapter I want to apologize for the lack of photos....I was really uninspired, depressed, and just not sure what to do with my game’s story at the time soooo it will be lacking in photos...sorry :(
FINALLY, right?!
So, last chapter, we saw the fight between Erin and Derrick FINALLY ended when Zackery stepped in. Then Derrick got all weird....
Zackery: Was it something I said?
Not sure, Zackery.....maybe. Who knows?
Anyways, Derrick finally agreed to hang out that weekend with Zackery and Erin. Erin told Kaylynn about the strange incident to which Kaylynn was just as puzzled as Erin. Then Kaylynn made a comment about Derrick liking Erin....to which they both laughed and thought it wouldn’t happen. Erin thought it was silly at first but now
Erin: *walks in* *sigh* *walks away all depressed*
well, now, that. *points to Erin as she walks away* She thinks that no guys like her because she’s too smart, strong, intimidating, and demands respect because she respects herself. I’m trying to tell her those are NOT the reasons why but she won’t listen to me >__> I told her it’s because of her snappy attitude but...
Erin: I DO NOT HAVE AN ATTITUDE! *peeks around corner and glares at me*
O_____O
Let’s move on before I get killed T____T
Then she asked advice from Malachi....big mistake. To which Malachi was the one who put those thoughts in Erin’s head >__> and now I’m afraid that Malachi is really an evil genius and not as dumb as she appears to be T__T
And then there is Clark....poor Clark. Walking in on Claire taking a shower like that...
Claire: POOR CLARK?!! WHAT ABOUT POOR ME! I’M THE ONE WHO WAS NAKED!
Wellllll he did have to see his girlfriend’s step mom naked which is a terribly awkward thing...
Claire: WHAT?! NO! NOT AS EMBARRASSING AS MY END OF IT! I’m guessing he did it on purpose!
Clark: WHAT?! I did not! YOU called me to come fix your toilet and when I went in you were taking a shower! YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!
Claire: *GASP* I DID NOT! I am a happily married woman! Plus, I have no interest in plumbers.
Clark: I’m a repairman! GET IT RIGHT!
GUYS! STOP! Let’s just call a truce and forget it ever happened...well, I won’t since I find it funny so I’ll bring it up from time to time to rub in your faces...
Okay okay fine. We need to be moving on to the 12th chapter now. So no more fighting about it since you guys dragged this recap out too long.
Claire: HMPH! *stomps off*
Clark: UGH! *throws hands up in air and stomps off*
*Fluttershy’s voice dripping in sarcasm* Yay. Next chapter. -__-
Erin: Hey, Kaylynn? How’s it goin’?
Kaylynn: Oh you know it’s-
Erin: Good. I need you to go shopping with me, like, right now.
Kaylynn: Ummmm okay? Mind telling me what the emergency is all about?
Erin: *sigh* It’s a long story...
Kaylynn: Well we have like 30 minutes before I can get out of here and get to your house so just tell me now.
Erin: *SIGH* Well, you know that stupid fight with Derek?
Erin: Well, I got to thinking about our conversation the other day....do you really think it’s ridiculous for Derek to like me?
Kaylynn: Derrrreeeeek? Eeeeeh? EH?
Erin: NO! KAYLYNN! Not like THAT! Let me rephrase.....do you really think its ridiculous for guys in general to like me?
Kaylynn: WHAT?! NO! I think every guy is attracted to you and could easily like you!
Kaylynn: *Sigh* I’m sorry I sounded like that....I just meant ti was funny about Derek since, you know, you guys are best friends and all. Plus, with how arrogant he can be *giggle*
Erin: *laughs* That is true. I feel better now......but no guys really do seem interested.....I need this shopping trip so please help me out, Kaylynn! I just want to look a little more...I don’t know...sexy? Something that’ll at least have a guy say hi instead of walk right by.
Kaylynn: Of course! Let’s do this!
Erin: That dude is staring at me!
Erin: ICK! Did you see what he just did?!
Erin: He just pointed at my swimsuit and gave me a thumbs up with a creepy look on his face!!!! I WILL BASH HIS FACE IN!
Kaylynn: *grabs Erin before she smashes pervert dude’s face in* ERIN! No! We cannot get kicked out of here! I LOVE THIS STORE!!!!!
Erin: UGH. FINE. *glares down perv*
Perv: *gets terrified and runs away*
Kaylynn: *snorts* Did you see his face?!
Erin: *Laughs* Yeah! That was priceless!
Kaylynn: *laughs out loud really hard*
Kaylynn: Guess he won’t be bothering us anymore!
*Erin & Kaylynn high five*
Erin: *slowly stops laughing* Do you really think this swimsuit will be a good idea?...
Kaylynn: Totally! It works every time!
Erin: How did you come up with this?
Kaylynn: I didn’t. I learned it from Malachi!
NO. Malachi is a bad example PLEASE don’t follow her ways D;
YAY! Both the Silver twins are here! :D They’re so dreamy *__*
Erin: I hope Kaylynn is right.......well, here goes nothing!
Zackery: So, we subtract here and..
Derek: Right. Then we need to add this to it and...
Erin:.....*stands all flirty* like my new swimsuit?
Derek&Zackery don’t even hear her.
Erin:....wanna go for a swim? *giggles* *flips hair*
They still don’t hear her.
Derek& Zackery are totally oblivious and not even listening.
Erin: This didn’t even work....not like I wanted their attention exactly but if I can’t get their attention how the heck am I supposed to get any other guy’s attention?! How come it works for Kaylynn and Malachi?! And I just get the creepy babysitter or the pervy store guy.....UGH!
Zackery: Hey, Erin! Let’s go!
Erin: *looks back and sees Zackery’s warm cheerful smile*
Derek: Come on. We don’t have all day. *gives an arrogant smirk*
Derek: *rolls eyes* Let’s go.
Zackery: So...mind telling us what that was all about back there?
Erin: Huh? What do you mean?
Zackery: You know, you were like....um, well.
Derek: You were acting like Malachi and Kaylynn.
Derek: Spit it out already.
Erin: It’s just that, you see....I.....well...
Zackery: You were trying to get our attention....in a more than friend way?
Erin: Yes. NO! I mean, *sigh* it’s because Kaylynn wondered if Derek liked me...
Derek: *turns red and eyes get big*
Zackery: *eyes get big and smile goes away*
Erin: then she quickly said it was impossible and laughed about it....which I did, too, at the time but then I started thinking about it and..
Zackery: You’re saying you like Derek?...
Erin: NO! Not at all like that!
Derek: *looks a bit upset and angry*
Erin: It’s just that I started to notice no guys really ever liked me or paid attention unless I scared them to death or it was something class related....the only guys are creepy babysitter dude and the pervert from the store...
Zackery & Derek: *in unison* What pervert from the store?!
Erin: Augh it’s nothing...anyways, it got me to thinking I was missing something....and then I saw how Malachi and Kaylynn always had guys after them sooooo I kind of sought out for advice from them....
Derek: *interrupts* How could you be so stupid?!
Erin: *Thrown off and scared by Derek’s expression and the anger in his voice* Derek, I...
Derek: From Malachi and Kaylynn?! Really?! They are two of the most stupidest and unattractive people on this planet. It isn’t attractive, Erin.
Zackery: Derek! That’s enough!
Erin’s thoughts: Ouch that really hurt.....I’ve never seen him so angry before....what did I do to make him so angry?...UGH don’t cry now, Erin! Hold it together!
Zackery: Let’s just calm down.....*grabs Erin’s shoulders and looks deeply into her eyes* Erin, you are beautiful the way you are. You are perfect the way you are. You don’t need to act like someone else or dress differently, especially not the way they told you to, you are perfect the way you are. Please, don’t change a thing.
Erin: *blushes* Uh..um..thanks, Zackery....
Zackery: No problem. *smiles* Now, let’s go do something that I KNOW will cheer you up!
Erin: *tilts head in confusion*
Zackery: TO THE GRAVEYARD!!!!!
Erin: REALLY?! *smiles big*
Zackery: HEY! Erin! Seriously, wait up!
Erin: Well if you guys weren’t so slow!
Derek: Hey. Whatsup with this kid?
Zackery: Hey, kid! Are you lost? Need any help?
Kid: *ignores*
Erin: Hey, kid! It’s way too late for you so go home!
Kid: *looks up creepily and whispers* I see dead people!
Erin, Derek, and Zackery are in shock from fear
Zackery: Ummmm let’s go guys....
Erin: Yeaaah let’s....
Derek: *tries to act tough* Whatever. See ya, kid.
Erin: Okay, now that creeper kid is gone let’s explore the old catacombs!
Zackery: *looks a bit queasy*
Erin: What’s wrong, Zack? Ya too scared?!
Zackery: No! I just think maybe we should come back another day....like in day light....or we could do something else that’s not as depressing?
Derek: Ha! Scaredy cat!
Erin: BOO! *grabs both Derek & Zackery*
*Derek & Zackery scream*
Erin: You’re BOTH scaredy cats! Ha! Let’s go!
Zackery: Guys...it’s REALLY dark in here. Is there any light?!
Erin: I have my phone!....Wait, it’s about dead.....
Zackery: *feels the wall* AH HA! An old torch! Derek, give me your lighter!
Derek: *hands lighter*
Zackery: *Lights torch* Wow it still had a gasoline soaked cloth in it!
Erin: Hey look! There’s an old passage way we haven’t been down before!
Derek: They must have just discovered it.
Erin: Let’s go!
Zackery: Wow. This is interesting! Here’s a tomb with our last name on it, Derek! Wonder if it’s really any relation to us?
Derek: Doubt it. Our ancestors didn’t even live here at the time he died.
Zackery: Oh. That’s right. Hey, Erin! Here’s one with your dad’s last name! Know if it’s any relation?
Erin: How would I know? I don’t even know anything about my dad except that he’s a cowardly jerk and alcoholic.
*Gets real quiet and they walk in silence for a good 20 minutes*
Zackery: *sigh* Erin, I’m sorry I brought up your dad back there...I didn’t mean for it to hurt ya or anything. I was just excited about the discoveries we were making and yeah....sorry.
Erin: It’s fine. I know you didn’t mean anything by it. I just don’t like his name even being mentioned and I’m not interested in my dad’s family history because they raised a real jerk. *looks at Zackery adn sees he’s feeling worse than before* but hey, it’s no big deal. Wasn’t your fault and you didn’t do anything wrong. *pats Zackery on the back*
Derek: *Grunts in disgust* we done here? Can we PLEASE get back to finding where this path leads?
Erin: *nods*....HEY! Looks like it’s the end of the tunnel.....but look!
Derek: It’s an exit....
Zackery: Thank goodness! *steps forward and falls through floor*
Erin & Derek: ZACK!!!!
Erin: Are you okay?!
Derek: Can you hear us?!
Zackery: *coughs* yeah I’m fine! It wasn’t too far down....but looks like it’s just out of reach for me to climb up!
Derek: *gets down and reaches into the hole in the floor* Here! Grab my hand!
Zackery: *tries to reach. jumps.* No use. Hey! I see another exit though! I’ll just go that way and meet you guys out front!
Erin: You sure?
Zackery: Yeah! I’ll be fine!
Derek: Okay. We’ll wait right here and wait for you to exit first.
Zackery: *waves at them from below then walks off into the dark tunnels* It’s good! Meet you guys out front! *exits*
Derek: UGH. That idiot took the torch with him.
Erin: Well he couldn’t very well just go without light-
Derek: Give me your phone.
Erin: It’s almost dead though
Derek: So?
Erin: SO it has hardly any light to give!
Derek: Just stick close. *grabs Erin’s phone and hand*
Erin: Wha-what!?
Erin’s thoughts: Why is my heart beating so fast? I feel like I’m blushing....I’m glad it’s dark in here so he can’t see me....it feels so nice to be close to him-NO! WHAT?! What am I thinking?!
*Erin tries to calm herself so that the blush won’t be noticeable*
Derek: Where’s Zackery? He got out sooner than us! What is he doing?
Erin: Umm
Erin: *jumps* um....my hand?
Derek: *looks at puzzled then looks at his hand holding hers* Oh! Yeah...*let’s go of Erin’s hand and tries to act cool*
Erin: *starts to blush* *clears throat and looks away* We should find Zackery.
Derek: Um yeah we should. *clears throat*
Zackery: *running as fast as he can towards them*
Derek: There you are! We were-Zack?
Zackery: *yells as he’s running by them* RUN! CREEPER KID IS BACK AND HE HAS FRIENDS! DEAD ONES!
*Derek and Erin look at each other wide-eyed*
*All three run as fast as they ever have in their lives!*
Zackery: *Out of breath* Oh my gosh. I’ve never been happier to be home in my life! *goes inside and passes out on couch* I’m staying right here until I can feel my legs again then I’m going to drink all the water this town has to offer and pass out for a year! So, good-bye to you, Erin, whenever you leave.
Sheree: No no no! It is way too late for you to walk home by yourself tonight, Erin! Just stay here for the night. I’ll call your mother and you can stay in our guest room.
Erin: Mrs. Silver that’s kind of you but I really need to be getting home because I have a project to fini-
Sheree: Nonsense! Art is nonsense anyways! It doesn't pay the bills!
*Derek rolls his eyes* *Zackery just sighs*
Erin: Um, actually it’s a science project and I also have a history test to study for-
Sheree: NONSENSE! I will go get them and bring them back for you! YOU WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE!
Sheree: *gets on phone and exits to get in her car* Claire? Hello! Well-
Derek: Well, Zackery usually apologizes to people for her but he’s already passed out. &Well, you already know what mom is like.
Erin: Yeah and I still can’t get used to it.
Derek: None of us have. Want some water? *walks to kitchen*
Erin: Uh yeah *follows*
Derek: Here. *hands water to Erin*
Erin: Thanks. *chugs water* So those catacombs were crazy, huh?
Derek: Yeah. Really interesting for sure. That kid who supposedly talks to dead people was weird though.
Erin: Heh yeah.....*awkward silence*......and when we had to find our exit with my practically dead phone because Zackery took off with the torch! Ha!!
Derek: Yeah and you were terrified.
Derek: You were sticking to me like glue and your hand was sweating.
Erin: *blushes* Uh um no.
Derek: Oooooh was it because I made you blush and you liked holding my hand?
Erin: No! *Erin tries to hide her face*
Derek: Heh heh! *grabs Erin’s hands* Oh is this what made you blush? I know it did-*shocked look*
Erin: *tries to hide face but Derek sees her blushing*
Erin: *sees Derek can see her blushing* *pulls hands away quickly* NO! I wasn’t! I-I-I have to go! *leaves fast while trying to hide her face*
Derek: *stands there puzzled*
Well, folks, that’s the end of chapter 12! I know it’s taken me ages to get it finished but hey it’s hear finally! Stay tuned for chapter 13 and see what happens! &Forgive me for the multiple ways I have spelled Derek’s name....I have a hard time remembering how it is originally spelled and get it mixed up ALL the time xD and I didn’t feel like going back and correcting all of that soooooo yeah LOL see ya!
