Umbra Pythonissam

(SHE RETURNS)

Wilson felt like he had to deny any help, but he couldn’t stop his mouth from watering at the thought of food. He hadn’t eaten anything except for plants he had found on the ground, and even those didn’t seem to help how hungry he was. And puking made him extra empty. It wouldn’t hurt to take just some food…

Wilson reached his hand out and then stopped, biting his lip. ‘I don’t deserve it,’ he thought. His thoughts raced. he didn’t need her pity, he thought. He didn’t deserve it, not at all. “N-no..”

Anna shook her head.

Wilson wasn’t vomiting anymore- which was good. he hated the feeling. His legs trembled as he stood up, and, upon hearing the noise, he spun around. God, bad decision… His head hurt. His fear turned to happiness as he saw the other human. 

“Oh! Hello! I’ve.. Met you before, haven’t I?” He says, tilting his head. “Oh… Wait.” He remembers aggressively deciding to dance with her. “Um… Sorry for me being… Drunk.” He sighs. His happiness deflates as he looks away. “You should… be leaving, I think. It’s dangerous. I’m supposed to be here. Don’t worry.”

Anna was glad she found him, walking towards him with a lantern in hand. In her other arm was a basket filled with warm food. She shook her head. “No, it’s fine. I’m just glad you’re alright. Aside from...well, the obvious. And don’t be silly, I’ve been in the ruins plenty of times. I can handle myself quite well.”

She descended into the ruins, bothered by all the screaming. She’d brought food with her, surely the man was hungry. And she still couldn’t believe the horrible events that occurred. She hoped he was okay.

“Thank Aunty…your ..the best…Ow.. my head..” Jack promptly drinking the water like it had been years since he had any. Then carefully eating some small bit of food. The detox process only half way done.

“Wait..are you and …Dipper gona make cookies…” he said dizzily looking up,his ears snapping up. “I..I wannn .. help too..” No he should be sitting down and let his body finish detox.

“You’re welcome, try not to eat too fast, okay?”

“Like the absolute best thing ever!”

“Oh God..she’s..she gonna tell my mom…Charlie…isn’t she….I need to sit down …and maybe some water…”

“THANK YOU.”
