89. Hooray for Creeper Boyfriends!A Chapter by halflives*In Haven, Maine*
*Nathan has got a tip on where Brandon is, so he, Audrey and I gather into his truck and he starts towards our destination. I continue to tell them about Haven and how the same and different it is from actual real life. But I see something disturbing and scream:*
Me: STOP THE CAR!
Nathan: *pulls it to a stop* What? What?
Me: *jumps out*
*A man is laying on the road. A man that I clearly identify as Chris Aril is laying limply on the road, the clothes on his left arm, and blood is leaking from a slash in her arm*
Me: Chris!
Chris: *shakily* L-Liv?
Me: Chris! *gets down on my knees to help him, inspect him* Chris, um, what the hell are you doing here?
Chris: I, um, was bored.
Me: WHAT?! *slaps him*
Chris: Ow! What as that for?
Me: Give me a good reason that I SHOULDN’T have slapped you. *Chris is silent* Good. Now, tell me, how did you get this big goddamn slash in your arm?
Chris: I was, ah, attacked by a wolf. Don’t ask me how--
Nathan: A wolf? *has suddenly appeared behind me*
Me: GAH. NATHAN.
Nathan: What?
Me: WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM?!
Nathan: …I was here the whole time.
Me: No. No you weren’t.
Nathan: …Whatever. Was this guy attacked by--
Chris: I HAVE a NAME.
Nathan: That’s not important. What is--
Chris: I’M CHRIS ARIL.
Nathan: I don’t care. If--
Chris: …You just… hurt my… feelings…
Nathan: fine. I’m sorry. What--
Chris: NO YOU’RE NOT SORRY! *strains his wound* OWWWW. LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DOOOO.
Me: Chris, stop. You’re going to hurt yourself. *pulls a bandage out of my pocket*
Audrey: *from the car* So you just have a random BANDAGE lying around in your POCKET?
Me: Yeah, bigger-on-the-inside-pockets. *wraps the bandage around his arm* That means Brandon is somewhere around here…
Nathan: He’s moved from where we were going.
Audrey: How are we going to find him?
Me: *eyes Chris* There’s always bait.
Chris: WHAT?! NOOO.
Me: Fine, fine.
Audrey: This doesn’t solve anything. You said you knew how to help him.
Me: I have to FIND him first.
Chris: *suddenly sits up straight* A-am I doing this right?
Me: Doing what right? *is confused*
Nathan: *taps my shoulder, backing away* I think we should back away slowly…
Chris: A-are you dead?
Me: W-what?
Chris: *emits static*
Me: …What the hell?
Nathan: What the hell is right.
Audrey: Is he okay? *comes over, standing beside Nathan*
Chris: *coughs* Oh. Oh dear. I’m terribly sorry. This is awful. Why did I do this?
Me: I’d know that insane second thoughts vocal anywhere.
Chris: You recognize me? Oh good. That saves the insane introduction part.
Me: *gestures* That’s my boyfriend.
Nathan: Your… boyfriend.
Me: Yeah. He’s weird like that.
Chris: *head swings towards Nathan blindly* Who’s this?
Nathan: Um, do I tell him my name?
Me: Sure, sure.
Nathan: I’m, um, Chief Nathan Wuornos of Haven PD.
Chris: Haven PD? You’re in Haven?
Me: Fun, innit?
Chris: Yes. *clears his throat* I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you that I’m sorry that--
Me: through CHRIS.
Chris: Yes ma’am.
Audrey: Excuse me, how is this possible?
Me: You, of all people, shouldn’t be asking that question?
Chris: Who’s that?
Audrey: Agent Audrey Parker, currently working Haven PD.
Chris: *sighs* Liv, what’s it with you and agents?
Me: *laughs* Yeah, shut up. I’m getting you an FBI vest.
Chris: A WHAT.
Me: just kidding~
Chris: You better be kidding.
Me: My love, when are you coming home, and NOT as Chris?
Chris: Will be home soon. Oh, and watch the wolf.
Me: the… wolf?
Chris: Yes, yes! Brandon Grant, not one of your usual Haven-ites. He’s a very confused alien.
Nathan and Audrey: ALIEN?
Me: What do you mean, confused?
Chris: He’s a shape-changing alien. When he came to Earth, he landed right next to a wolf, so he thought that they were the population of the planet. But, the more he saw, he saw that humans populated the planet far more than wolves, so he turned into a human. But he kept changing between the two when he was scared or nervous or whatnot. Therefore, he moved to Haven to see if he could blend in with the people that are experiencing their “Troubles”. *static* Oh dear. Can’t stay for very long. Um, just when you catch him, call me. I l--
Chris: *shakes his head* Whoa! What was that?!
Me: *sighs* Back to being regular Chris again.
Nathan: I don’t know whether to be creeped out, or denying any of that just happened.
Me: Are you sure they’re just rules?
Nathan: DON’T DISRESPECT THE RULES.
Me: *grins* There you go! © 2011 halflivesAuthor's Note
