《[Discontinued!] Joker With A Heart Full Of Love》Chapter 5 - Gone

'R-Rascal...' Chloe says as she wakes up. 'Why did you kidnap me?'
'I thought I should bring a nice souvenir,' he chuckles. 'I mean, it would be such a waste to destroy earth but not keep something as beautiful as you!'
Chloe scares. 'No! I won't let you get away with this!'
'How are you planning to stop me?' Rascal shows Chloe something. Something that kills all hope in her.
She won't be able to stop him.
Chloe feels bad and Rascal's nasty laugh seems to cut trough her body. She can't believe what he has done... She cries, but so softly to make sure that Rascal doesn't notice it.
'What's wrong, Glitter Breeze?' he chuckles as he sees Chloe hiding her head in her hands. 'Don't you feel happy around me?'
Chloe says nothing and keeps sobbing in silence. He may not know that she's crying.
'Well well...' the voice of Rascal sounds.
Suddenly Chloe feels his hand on his head. 'Don't act like I don't know what you're doing.'
'Doing what?' Chloe says with a normal voice.
'Crying,' Rascal's voice replies in her left ear. 'I notice that.'
Chloe freezes. She feels that Rascal has put his hands on her shoulders.
'Don't cry, Glitter Breeze,' his voice hisses in her ear. She feels his warm breath in her neck. She is shocked. Then she feels that he caresses her hair.
'You are beautiful,' he says. 'A girl like you shouldn't cry.'
Chloe feels his warm breath and is horrified. Maybe he will kill her within a second. She feels him stroking her hair. He has done it before, but this time she feels truely scared when he does it.
But she can't do anything. She must listen to whatever he wants. She has to, after she saw what he showed her. Maybe there is a way to stop him. And for that she must listen to what he wants. He needs to think she does everything so he trusts her and then she can try to stop him.

'I want to brush your hair.' Rascal lets a card appear and turns it into a hairbrush. He then brushes her hair gently. It's silent. Only the sound of the brush that goes trough Chloe's hair and Rascal's calm breath is able to hear. Chloe feels the hairbrush softly stroking her hair.
'This should calm you down,' Rascal whispers and Chloe feels, once again, the warm breath in her neck. 'Now don't cry anymore, Breeze.'
Chloe says nothing and just stares to the ground. She feels that Rascal brushes her hair. Her eyes slowely close and she leans backwards. Rascal wraps his arm around her as she lays her head on his chest.
'It feels relaxing, doesn't it?' he says and laughs, but this time it's a sweet laugh.
Chloe doesn't even notice it, she feels so tired and falls asleep.
When Chloe wakes up, she suddenly hears something pounding. What is that? Is it a heartbeat? Yes, it's a heartbeat. But from who?
Chloe looks down and sees an arm wrapped around her. It has a long, white sleeve with a pink-reddish like bracelit. The hand has long, black fingernails.
She still feels a bit tired and confused, but then scares. Rascal!
'You're awake,' he says. 'You were sleeping for two hours. He srokes her hair. 'You seem exhausted, dear Glitter Breeze.'
Chloe says and does nothing. She feels Rascal's body warmth. He is warm for a cold-hearted villain.
'It's better for you to get some rest,' Rascal's voice says, this time in her right ear. 'You seem stressed and exhausted.'
Chloe closes her eyes. She does not know why, but she doesn't feel any danger anymore, even though she knows Rascal is on the bad side again. Maybe it's because of his sweet voice and actions. Or she is just really tired. But why though?
When Chloe wakes up again, she notices that she lays in a bed. Rascal just a few meters further, with his back towards her. Chloe stands up to see what he's doing. He plays with a pile of card with his eyes closed and he looks frowned, like he is thinking about something difficult. He doesn't even notice that she is awake.

But then she notices the thing that Rascal showed her that killed all her hope. It's just lying there, on a stool! She can grab it and if she owns it, she is able to defeat him!
She walks towards it, without making any noise. She's almost there, almost there... Just a little further. The joker is still playing with his cards. He doesn't suspect a thing.
Then Chloe has reached the stool. Now she can defeat Rascal! She wants to grab the thing that's laying on it, but it suddenly turns into a joker card. Oh no! Rascal played a trick again!
The sound of the cards has stopped. Chloe gulps and looks at him. Rascal's cards just float in the air. He slowly turns his head. Chloe sees the round, glowing red eyes.
'Don't, Breeze,' he says soft but yet treating. Chloe gulps as Rascal walks towards her. The heels of his shoes click on the floor. What is he going to do to her?
When Rascal has reached her, his eyes turn normal. He get's a new pile of cards. He seems to think about something. He looks her in the eyes.
Then he suddenly stops. He shows her five cards. 'Pick one,' he whispers.
Chloe gulps and picks a card. She musn't upset him. The card suddenly turns into a hairbrush.
Rascal looks at her with a slanted head. 'Looks like it's time to brush your hair again.'
He takes the brush and pushes her gently down. He wraps his arm around her and starts to brush her hair. 'I am still going to destroy the earth and you are going to watch it, my dear Breeze.'
Chloe gulps and thinks about the thing he showed her. She is in trouble if she doesn't get it from him.
The brush strokes her hair lovingly and Rascal's warm breath is in her neck again. She starts to feel tired again and lays her head on Rascal's chest. She hears his heart beating fast but it slowly slows down to a normal speed.
Rascal grins as he sees Chloe sleeping. He is confusing her, just like he wanted. He did feel the warmth and the tickles again though, that's why he wants to keep her with him. If he destroys earth including her, he has to give up those strange feelings. He wants to feel it. He wants to playfully mock Chloe for the rest of his life. Like with the illusion. She must have thought she could have escaped!
Rascal let's the "thing" appear. Without it, there's no way for Breeze to escape. He looks at it and opens it.
'Such a silly toy...' he mumbles. He strokes Chloe's hair and chuckles. 'It's gone, Breeze. It's gone!'
Chloe wakes up again. Rascal is stroking her hair. He grins.
'Had a nice nap, deary?'
Chloe says nothing. She notices that he has wrapped both arms around her. Rascal lays his chin on her shoulder.
'I could stay like this forever...' he grins, 'but I have a planet to destroy. I am back within a hour.' He disappears suddenly.
Chloe stands up. This is her chance! Rascal must have hid the "thing" somewhere in his circus. She seeks and seeks, but can't find it. Then the joker is back again.
'Look at this negative energy I collected!' He shows her balls of negative energy. He laughs evil and licks his lips.
'You won't get away with this!' Chloe says angrily.
Rascal looks at her. 'Are you sure? Could the Glitter Force find my circus? And what are you going to do now I have... this.' He shows the thing again.
'Give it back you creepy clown!' Chloe runs towards him.
'Breeze, don't be so mad.' Rascal floats in the air. He sticks his tongue out and chuckles. He shows her the thing.
The thing is Chloe's Glitter Pact.

8 269Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.
8 255Bone And Amber: The Inside Story On The Return Of The Dinosaurs
A miracle has been achieved: non-avian, Mesozoic dinosaurs have been brought back to life - not by a technical university or a government programme, but by a venture capitalist concern, for reasons of profit. The social, economic, and political ripples of this development will do much more than enable the simple launch of a theme park for the rich: they will change the world. FAQ: Do I need to know anything about the Jurassic Park franchise to enjoy this? No. This story is not exactly a Jurassic Park fanfic - it is a story about the de-extinction of Mesozoic dinosaurs. While the story begins with some of the events depicted in the Jurassic Park universe, it is very much its own creature, and designed for readers with no prior knowledge of the franchise. It will begin to diverge quite quickly, as well: the dramatic focus will not be on people running around tropical islands trying to be eaten. The whole point of the exercise is to explore the profound consequences and ripples an event like the mass-cloning of extinct animals would generate.Do I need to know anything about dinosaurs to enjoy this? Also no! Sensing a theme yet? Although, if I’ve done my homework correctly, a newbie to the subject will be able to pick up something - not just about the animals themselves, but about their role as a vehicle to better understand the history of life on Earth, and the application of the scientific method to a sadly fragmentary puzzle.Without further ado, please enjoy!
