[Class of 09 x The Coffin of Andy and Leyley] A Negative and a Negative makes a...?

[Davos]

"Nicole, stop glowering at me."

"What, am I being too obvious like your shrinking milf window?" Nicole says as she takes an expertly packed box of her stuff to her new room.

"Shut your fucking mouth about that! I have plenty of years ahead of me, and I'm not the one that got the school bombed!"

"That wasn't me that was the fucking N.O.I!" Nicole says as she heads to the door to get another box.

"After you sent a video of that chant! Seriously Nicole, all you had to do was keep your head down, or wear a shitty shirt for a year, but nooo, NOW you had to grow a conscious!"

"Are you seriously telling me I should have joined the 'White Pride Party'? Would you be happier if I was a Nazi? Should I goose step while carrying in the rest of my shit?"

"It was a phase! They would have grown out of it, and look back on it with laughs or shaking their heads, but thanks to you, they can't do that now including Je-"
Nicole slamming the door cuts off her mother. The door partly opens as Nicole stomps away.

"Fucking bullshit, I post one video of a fucking stupid chant and I have to move again and hear this bullshit. Where was this much anger over that fat ass pirating those-"

"Hey, can you try and keep it down?" A thin guy slightly older than her wearing a shirt two sizes too big and ripped jeans says to Nicole from a doorway.

"What, am I disturbing your beauty sleep princess?" Nicole asks.

"No, but my cadre of woodland animals can't hear my singing when you shout like that. At least try to make your frustrations rhyme." The thin man says without changing his expression.

"Do I look like I give enough of a shit to make rhymes?"

"Perhaps…you should have been a smarty and joined the Nazi Party?" He asks with a grin.

"You heard that huh?"

"Hard not to. The walls here are thin. I'm also sure your goose stepping would be heard through the building."

"…I'll keep that in mind, if I ever find a fuck to find." Nicole says with less of a frown while going back to the moving van.

"Ha!"

'Huh…he didn't leer at me once or ask to hang out. That's a first. Shame he's a guy…oh, maybe he's gay! I could use a gay best-' Nicole stops at the top of the stairs when she sees a glaring woman.

"…Stay away from my Andy, hussy."

"Seriously? Calling me a hussy with your bra straps and tits out like that? Wait, who even uses the word 'hussy' anymore?"

"You're supposed to say 'ok', with no questions asked if you know what's good for you."

"Really banking on that new kid phase anxiety to establish dominance aren't you? Is that because you're a pushover normally?" Nicole asks while going down the stairs.

"The fuck is a 'new kid phase'? And you better watch that-"

"Something I'm not going by anymore, so watch your tone bitch." Nicole says as she tries to pass the pink eyed woman who stands in front in her way.

"Who do you think you're calling a bitch, you whore? Not even one day and you're chatting up random guys? How desperate~." She says with a hand in front of her mouth.

"You're telling me this thing doesn't come with a loop in the back for a leash? That sounds just like your style what with all the barking." Nicole says while tapping her choker. She looks up with tiny pupils while grabbing Nicole's wrist.

"You don't know the world of pain I can show you. And to think I was even going to leave you alone since you were just moving boxes quietly along like a good little girl~."

"I'm supposed to be scared of you? And I doubt you hurt more than a gunshot." Nicole says while freeing her wrist.

"If you want to get shot I can more than fulfill that death wish of yours, you skanky used up-"

"Ashley!" Both women look up and see the lanky guy looking down at them, glaring more at Ashley who, after a final glare at Nicole, skips up the stairs with a smile.

"Heeeeey Andy! I'm just welcoming our neighbor and telling her some important house rules~."

"It's Andrew, how many times do I have to tell you- Never mind that now…" He says before looking at Nicole.

"Sorry about that…I'd say she's never like this but-"

"What, she's actually worse normally?" Nicole asks, getting a grin and a scowl from Andrew and Ashley respectively. Ashley tugs on Andrew's sleeve. He looks at her a moment before grinning more fully.

"Go on ahead sis, I'm gonna help our neighbor move in."

"W-what…? B-but-" Ashley stammers before a door slams open.

"Ashley! Get in here and clean the damn bathroom you freeloading shit!"

"You heard mom~." Andrew says.

"Don't make her wait, puppy~." Nicole says with a wink.

"…Fucking assholes…" She mutters before taking one last look at Nicole.

Who flips her off.

Ashley returns the bird as her mother starts to yell again, leading to more yelling as Andrew comes down the steps.

"Don't need the help." Nicole says.

"You think I want to go back there in the next few minutes?"

"Fair enough…but I'm not having sex with you." Nicole says as they head to the truck.

"Fine by me. Already have a girlfriend."

"Huh, shame…"

"What, you were interested?" Andrew asks in a monotone.

"No, but I was kinda hoping you were gay." Nicole says as she takes a box.

"…What?" Andrew asks with a box in hand.

"Gay as in you like-"

"I know what gay means, I just don't see how that would be a plus."

"Gay best friend sounds like they'd be fun."

"…"

"What?" Nicole asks.

"…You kinda remind me of Ashley."

"Dick."

"Yeah, I deserve that one."

They go back to Nicole's place. The door is still open and they find her mom on the phone.

"H-how much? And there's no way I would know…And I wouldn't have to do a-"

"Oh God, please don't tell me your considering a phone sex job…That'll be the last straw to send me into therapy." Nicole says and her mother jumps.

"Haven't you heard of knocking!?"

"I live here too!"

'…Why do I feel déjà vu?' Andrew thinks with a neutral face before helping with a few more boxes and heading back to his own shit storm.

===Three months of quarantine later===

Despite their delirium, The Graves siblings hear the scream, see a demon 'kill' a cultist…and cut him up for meat. As Ashley carries the limbs back to their place, she sees Nicole leaning against the freezer.

"…Didn't think you would be chummy with the guy playing that butchered song. What do you got there?" Nicole asks in an even enough tone, but Ashley knows she is eyeing the bag with hunger.

"Oh, you know…stuff~. But more importantly, how did you get in here? Isn't your door bolted down or something too?" Ashley asks with a smirk, grateful Andy splurged for leak proof bags now.

"I only had my lock reversed on my door, but it was surprisingly easy to lock pick. Those jackass guards probably wanted me to break down and beg to be their fuck toy in exchange for food. Like the bag you got there."

"Are you implying I would sink to your level? Anyway, this isn't food, now how about you move that STD village you call an ass out of here before I call the wardens on you for breaking and entering bitch."

"Is that anyway to speak when I actually mustered some fucking concern for you?" Nicole asks.

"Oh please, you just want to steal Andy away you-" Ashley starts to yell, letting one hand go from the bag to gesture rudely.

Which lets the severed arm fall out of the bag onto the floor.

They both freeze, looking at the arm, then each other.

'Oh shit…guess she has die too now. Probably should have taken the cleaver with-'

"You think that goes with ramen?" Nicole asks.

"Huh?" Ashley says and Nicole points to the kitchen counter. On it is a crate of ramen, some jerky, and diet coke.

"Where the fuck did you get that?!"

"Ashley?!" Andrew says, running in with the double bagged torso, freezing at seeing Nicole, before looking and seeing the arm on the ground.

"Oh fuck, we're fucked, this is-"

"Relax will you? I don't care that you killed the guy. To be honest, seeing that there is some fat on him, he'll probably enhance these shitty noodles." Nicole says, further shocking them.

"What?" Andrew asks.

"You're…ok with this?" Ashley asks.

"I mean, I'd rather have Chipotle but it has been- wait, was this guy Mexican?"

"I…Don't think so? Does that even matter?" Andrew asks.

"You're right, anything remotely ethnic tasting is probably gone now." Nicole says, making Andrew groan.

"So…what now?" Andrew asks, trying not to look too squeamish at Nicole while carrying a trash bag covered body.

"I say we kill her." Ashley says.

"No." Nicole and Andrew say at the same time.

"What the Hell?! You haven't even seen each other in months, why are you taking her side?"

"I'm not taking sides, I just don't want to kill anyone!"

"Sounds like you're taking sides to me!" Ashley asks with tears.

"What do you want me to do? Hack her up into mincemeat?!"

"Yes!"

"No you stupid-!"

"Not that I don't appreciate you not wanting to turn me into ground meat, but saying that while carrying a guy you just killed kinda makes it hard to believe." Nicole says.

"We didn't kill him it was the…Agh, I can't believe I'm saying this but…" Andrew has his hands on his face after he puts the cultist body in the freezer.

"It was a demon." Ashley finishes while pouting.

"…I get not wanting to confess to murder, but seriously?"

"We…aren't lying." Andrew says while gnawing on one of his fingers.

"I don't really care. You got any spices for this fucker?" Nicole asks.

"Yeah, let me check and-" Ashley starts but stops when Nicole grabs her shoulder.

"You're not going to the kitchen." Nicole says.

"I live here you can't tell me what to do!"

"You voted to kill me less than a minute ago; I'd have to be retarded to let you hold anything sharper than a butter knife."

"That's not my fault!"

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Hmph…I suppose even with all your bad qualities, I can't call you a stupid slut at least. You're mother must be so proud of you~."

"Probably about the same as yours is of you."

"Fuck you, don't act too high mighty bitch! All you got was diet soda for whoring yourself out!"

"Fuck you! That's all he gave me because I wouldn't I blow him!"

'I am not getting ANYWHERE near this conversation…' Andrew thinks.

After a stare down, Nicole helps Andrew prepare dinner as Ashley pouts on the couch. A few minutes later, cultist a la ramen with diet coke is served. After initial hesitation, the trio devours the meal.

Even the diet coke is not spared.

Then Andrew looks into space with a hand over his head.

"…How the fuck did human taste so good?"

"Excessive salt, MSG, coriander, and the most important ingredient of all: starvation." Nicole says before lighting up a cigarette.

"…You got another one?"

"This is my last pack, what's in it for me?"

"Other than sparing you and helping bring in the main part of this meal? Oh God I just called a human being food…"

"God, are you always this whiny after the fact?" Nicole asks.

"You have no idea…" Ashley says drawing a glare from Andrew before he turns and smiles to Nicole.

"I'll get you a real coke in the future."

"Eh, fair enough." She says before handing him a cigarette. Before he can ask for a light, she leans in with hers, so she was close to Andrew's face while lighting his cigarette. He blushed slightly a moment until he saw where Nicole was looking. She was looking at Ashley with a grin.

'…She's probably doing this to annoy Ashley.' Andrew thinks before glancing over and seeing a furious Ashley.

'Great…I'm gonna have to deal with this later…' Andrew thinks before sighing with sweet sweet poison of nicotine coursing through him again, making everything alright for one incredible moment.

 

[Davos]

They agreed to have another dinner together the next day despite Ashley's tantrum. Even she couldn't deny the appeal of jerky and ramen.

Even the diet coke was good at this point in time.

After a good night's sleep, Ashley finds Andrew in the cultist's room.

"Should I be worried about this new phase brother? The cannibalism I know is just a passing trend, but reading questionable material? What would mom say?" Ashley asks with a grin cracking through near the end.

"I'm sure she would have choice words, or no words at all as long as the satanic shit was quiet."

"Wait…are you seriously thinking of summoning that demon?"

"Probably not. I just really needed something new to read." Andrew says while turning a page, muttering 'how does this have 600 odd volumes?'.

"Suppose I should be glad you aren't sneaking off to your new girlfriend…"

"For the love of- First, we aren't like that. Second, it's none of your business, and third she's just doing that to-"

A knock at the door startles them.

"You ok buddy? You've been quiet…not that I don't miss hearing that horrid song of yours."

The siblings freeze while looking at each other.

"Buddy? God damn it…think it's another dead one." The warden mutters before reporting it on his walkie talkie, saying he'll look inside after his rounds before leaving.

"…We could have escaped by staying quiet for two days? What horse-"

"Not now Ashley, I think he's coming to our place!"

Andrew and Ashley hastily make a plan to distract the warden so Ashley can clean up the mess in the room.

When Ashley is about to leave she hears the door start to unlock and hides in the closet. She has her hands over her mouth as the Wardn looks through the room.

"Where are you man? God, I hope he didn't jump into the street…no bonus that way."

'Bonus?' Ashley doesn't have long to think until the closet door opens and the warden is looking down at her.

"What in the- How did you-"

The Warden's question ends with a scream as Andrew appears behind him and hacks a cleaver into his arm. He shoves Andrew away and starts running for the door.

"Crap, I meant to hit his neck!" Andrew mutters as the warden opens the door and finds Nicole standing there.

"What?! How are you out of your-" He couldn't finish his question again before Nicole kicks him back into the room onto his back.

It was quite rude; almost as rude as Andrew cutting his neck with an overhead swing, killing him.

After another panicked few swings, Andrew falls backwards onto his ass, breathing hard while looking at the uniformed body. Ashley stays similarly frozen in the closet. Nicole leans at the doorway a moment before entering.

"So…is he breakfast?" She asks, getting a nervous chuckle from Andrew.

"I think we have bigger problems than breakfast now…" Andrew says.

"Like your sister refusing to come out of the closet?"

"…There's something fundamentally fucked up about you isn't there?" Ashley asks while standing up.

"I'm just your normal everyday girl who's now an accomplice to murder on top of eating human." Nicole says before squatting down and picking up a key.

"Thank fuck this doesn't have blood on it."

"…We should probably leave this place." Andrew says before standing on shaky legs.

"Yeah…missing guards would probably get the police here and…Also I think they are waiting for us to die. He mentioned something about not getting a bonus if he jumped." Ashley says making Nicole and Andrew silent.

They head down into the camera room and see the other armed warden. After some exploring they wind up in 302's room and Ashley and Nicole look at the blonde woman with open mouths after she explains she's been living the high life.

"What is it? All you gotta do is ask nicely and they'll be nice back."

"Spread your legs nice?" Ashley asks.

"Or open wide nice?" Nicole asks.

"Oh my God…" Andrew mutters with a hand over his head.

"How dare you! That is not true at all!"

"Bullshit! You got real coke!" Nicole says while pointing to the half empty bottle with the red label.

"Wait…this isn't regular coke, it's Mexican coke! It has REAL sugar! She must have taken both of them at once!" Ashley says and Andrew has to resist banging his head against the wall.

"Do you bitches have no manners?!"

"About as much manners as you a have gag reflex." Nicole says and Ashley has to stifle her laughter.

"Get out!"

Back in the hall, Andrew looks at his sister and Nicole flatly.

"What? We were being honest." Nicole says.

"You called her a slut!"

"Did you not see the Mexican coke?" Ashley asks.

"And it was more heavy insinuation than flat out calling her that." Nicole says, making Andrew rub his temples.

"Bright side…I think I know how we can deal with the second warden."

"I'm not whoring myself out." Nicole says,

"Better you than me." Ashley says.

"You're probably more his type, since your shortness makes you look more like jail bait than me." Nicole says, getting a slap across the face.

"I'm all woman, so watch your-" Ashley stops when she sees Nicole smiles.

"Do you two want to die here?" Andrew nearly yells.

After that he explains his plan of luring the warden with the teasing of sex from a held at cleaver point 302, and using the demon to 'kill' him.

"I'm going with her." Nicole says, drawing a glare from Ashley.

"Like Hell." She says.

"Not sure I trust the both of alone with a gun." Andrew says while holding the cleaver at 302's neck.

"I don't trust her getting the gun." Nicole says and Andrew has no response.

"I don't trust YOU with a gun!" Ashley says.

"But do you like the idea of Andy alone with two available women, one of whom with no qualms of slutting it for carbonation?" Nicole asks and Ashley remains quiet.

"Do you really think I would risk everything for some tail?" Andrew asks.

"Since I'm included in this, can I have a-"

"No." All three say, cutting off 302.

After that, they begin the plan of luring the warden and Ashley and Nicole summon the demon.

"WhAt dO YoU OfFeR?" The demon asks as the warden enters.

"I offer him and her!" Ashley says without hesitation.

"The fuck?!" Nicole says before darkness overtakes the room followed by a scream. When the light somewhat returns the warden is on the gound unmoving, and Nicole is still standing.

"The fuck?!" Ashley says, pointing towards Nicole.

"I HaVe MoRe UsE oF hEr iN ThIs fOrM. It Is RaRe to FiNd A tAr sOuL, sO fInDiNg tWo is A PlEaSaNt SuRpRiSe. ThIs TaLisMaN cAn GiVe a GlImPsE oF tHe FuTuRe." The demon says before dropping a pendant in front of both of them before vanishing.

"Even demons are against me…" Ashley whimpers with tears.

"…Does this mean I'm inter-dimensionally hot?" Nicole asks with a hand at her chin.

"You're luck will run out sooner or later bitch…" Ashley says as Nicole lights up a cigarette.

"I think I'm plenty lucky." Nicole says with a lilt before taking a drag and approaching Ashley.

"You have a twisted sense of luck if a demon finds you too scummy to-" Ashley's taunt is cut off when Nicole grabs her neck and pulls her in for a kiss. The surprise is intense but short lived compared to the crippling need to breath. Ashley tries to push Nicole off, but she hangs onto her a moment longer.

The door opens and Andrew enters with his cleaver raised high.

"Leave me sister a…lone?" He says before seeing the pair of them kissing. Nicole lets Ashley go who starts coughing severely.

"Ack Guk Gah…bitch breathed a mouthful of smoke into my throat!" Ashley sputters out before hacking again.

"What…the…" Andrew says in the doorway, alternating between Ashley, Nicole, and the second dead warden. Nicole goes over and picks up the gun.

"…That was to distract Ashley long enough for you to get the gun, right?"

"Half right." Nicole says before tossing Andrew the key.

"And the other half? I doubt you two kissed and made up." Andrew asks as Ashley finally starts breathing more normally.

"Partly I like her style, partly I wanted to make her suffer for trying to offer my soul up to the demon."

"Wait, what?!"

"Yeah, I did, because she is an unnecessary hussy. Even the demon agrees with me! It didn't want anything to do with her! It said she had a tar soul, whatever the Hell that means!"

"It said you had one too."

"Don't change the subject!"

"That IS the subject!"

"…Maybe I should I hold the gun?"

"Don't you trust me?" Nicole asks with a wink, making Ashley's eye twitch.

"I think out of all of us, I'm the least likely to point it when upset…and do you even know gun safety?"

"Do any of u-" Nicole starts to say with a gesture of her hands before the gun goes off, shooting through the floor, and a scream follows suit.

"My leg! Oh God my leg!"

"You'll live! It's not that bad!" Nicole says to the crying person in the room below.

"Kinda proving my point." Andrew says before stepping close and bringing the cleaver to her neck.

"The fuck are you doing?" Nicole asks.

"Honestly, out of the three of us, I can't tell who's more unstable between you and Ashley."

"If anything I'm the most stable person here." Nicole says.

"Now you REALLY sound like Ashley."

"Hey!" Ashley says.

"Dick!"

"Fair, but my point still stands…and don't think I'm bluffing. Things went awry with the blonde and I had to kill her."

"Are you threatening me? Are you threatening me as the least athletic piece of shit to wear trainers?"

"You sure insulting me is a good idea right now? It's not giving me much reason to believe you won't turn us in when we escape." Andrew says, pressing the cleaver closer to Nicole's neck.

"Oh yeah, because I'm such a law-abiding citizen, I just help spice up everyone's cannibal dinners and help commit murder. Get your head out of your ass!"

"That could just be desperation."

"Yes, Andy, pick me again!" Ashley says.

"Quiet you, I'm in mood for your bullshit right now. I still recall you making Julia break up with me!"

"Sure it wasn't because you couldn't deliver in the bedroom?" Nicole asks, making Andrew press the blade closer still, now drawing a bit of blood from Nicole's neck.

"Fuck, fine, I won't make comments about your bedroom prowess."

"You should be grateful I weeded out a quitter for you!" Ashley says.

"Not in the mood Ashley!"

"So what, you want me to prove I'm not a quitter?"

"…Yes."

"Well since, everything else is apparently worth nothing to you…I'm a sociopath."

"Sounds like you're going through a phase and lying to-"

Nicole jabs the gun barrel under Andrew's head, surprising him.

"Andy!"

"Shut the fuck up for one minute." Nicole says before taking a breath.

"For the longest time I've felt nothing. No joy, sorrow, not even hatred, mainly minor annoyance. Even getting my own school bombed almost got nothing out of me. It's why I'm a walking encyclopedia on drug effects. Most people take percocet to feel nothing, I take them to feel something. But when I walked in on you and cunt-ley here-"

"Hey!"

"-dragging a dead guy in trash bags, I felt something. So much so that I even bothered stepping in and help you do it again when I should have let you two get caught from how royally you fucked that up. And now that I know there is a demon, I'm starting to feel it even more again."

"…What the Hell are you saying?"

"That I want to do more fucked up shit."

 

[Davos]

"Andy we need to talk."

Andrew ignores Ashley while reading the newspaper, a cup of coffee in hand.

"Oh for fucks- Andrew!"

"Much better." Andrew says, and Ashley can smell the grin behind the paper.

"I'm serious…It's about Nicole."

"You wanted to watch that MythBusters marathon?"

"Why the Hell are you skirting around the issue? I thought you would be WAY more into kicking Nicole to the curb after she held a god damn gun to your head!"

"Quiet you stupid- We were both tense and I DID hold a cleaver to her neck first."

"My, such a good man to recognize his mistakes."

"…This also guarantees she doesn't get caught and rat us out." Andrew says.

"Might be better to kill her then…you saw that crazed look in her eyes!"

"I know but-"

"She said it herself! She wants to do more crazy shit like cann-" Andrew puts the paper down and cups her mouth.

"Do you not know what the concept of a private conversation is? Or what should not be talked about in pub-" Andrew pulls his hand back when Ashley licks his palm. She smiles smugly at him.

"Something wrong Andy~?"

"…You're not getting dessert for that."

"I wasn't getting dessert anyway. I saw your wallet."

"Well, three people eat quite a bit when they are starved for months…And it's not like I can go to a bank without alerting someone, and without a bank account or I.D things are…limited."

"We could have Nicole work as a call girl."

"No."

"…Are you seriously into her?"

"No, but do you see Nicole going along with that or being good at it?" Andrew asks while lighting a smoke.

"Those make you impotent…and I can see her doing well at that. She is a two faced hussy."

"If she did do that, I'm sure she would be the type to kill her clients for cash."

"I mean…that still works for us, right?"

"…It wouldn't work for long, andI'm sure we can think of another way…" Andrew says.

"You don't even believe that crap." Ashley says.

"Well someone has to."

After that they leave and go back to the motel.

Andrew has to pull Ashley away from the vending machine, saying they don't have enough for the limited time soda flavors.

"We're ba-"

"Shut up, this might be the solution to our money problems!" Nicole says, leaning forward on the couch.

"What are you-"

"What part of shut up do you not get?!"

The Graves siblings look at the TV.

"Today on MythBusters, we'll see if it is possible to make home made diamonds using graphite and explosives!"

The Graves siblings cup their heads.

"Even I wouldn't entertain this idea!" Ashley says.

"I think I saw this episode in class…they-"

"No spoilers." Nicole says.

"…I'm just gonna do some laundry." Ashley says as Andrew takes the seat next to Nicole and reaches for the remote. Nicole takes it first. Andrew looks at her.

"It'll be done in a few minutes."

"I want to check the news if there's any word about the apartment."

"It's been a week I doubt they'll say anything now, and I haven't seen this episode."

"They-"

"No spoilers God damn it!...it's already bad enough this Hell hole doesn't have Coke. I would take a Pepsi, or even a fucking Dr. Pepper by this point. "

"What's wrong with Dr. Pepper?" Andrew asks.

"Only old people like Dr. Pepper."

"I like Dr. Pepper."

"Proving my point."

"Now it's time to set off the explosives!"

"Fuck yeah!" Nicole says with a smile that grows wider as the site is prepped and the crew hides behind a safety wall. Then Ashley walks over and picks up some clothes at the tail end of the count down.

"For fuck's sake! Show your tits later!"

"I'm not showing my tits I'm doing laundry…wait, why am I doing this when you were here all day?!"

"Because you're domestic, now move, I want to see the-" The explosion happens and Nicole returns to glowering.

After that it was proven that home made diamonds are not feasible.

"This sucks more than the apartment…" Nicole says as Andrew changes the channel to the news. The trio sits on the couch as nothing is mentioned about the apartment, dead guards, or anything about the quarantine in that spot.

"So…what do we do about our cash problem?" Nicole asks.

"We saw a listing for call girls." Ashley says.

"Huh, didn't think you would be willing to sell yourself after all that crap you gave me and the blonde a few days ago."

"I wouldn't be selling myself~."

"I doubt Andrew would look good in a dress…and to suggest such a thing. How horrible can you be?" Nicole asks with a smirk.

"That is not what I am suggesting at all! I meant you!"

"You would be far better at it. You're already two faced and have the false charm down pat." Nicole says, making Ashley gasp.

"My charms are not false!"

"Oh God it really is in stereo now…" Andrew mutters while lighting up a smoke.

"Fuck you." Nicole and Ashley say at the same time with raised middle fingers at Andrew, before looking at the other.

"Fuck you!" They say, double middle fingers directed at the other.

'Fuck me…' Andrew thinks.

"Andy, tell Nicole she would be a better call girl than me!"

"You gonna let her push you around? And where's my cigarette?"

"I would offer you one, but I'm afraid that would lead to you pushing me around~." Andrew says before Nicole grabs the collar of his shirt with both hands.

"Give me a God damn-"

"Get away from him you-"

"Unfortunate breaking news! An apartment of infected people was burnt down. Since everyone died of completely natural causes, and purified by holy righteous fire, the city has decided to honor the memory of the departed by building another apartment complex, but with a small roof garden. It'll be like a park memorial, but without the homeless people! Now a word from our sponsors!"

"…It feels a little worrisome it just burnt down now…" Andrew says.

"Eh. They're dead. No point worrying about it." Nicole says while lighting up a cigarette.

"…Did you just pickpocket me for a cigarette?"

"Yeah. Wouldn't you?"

"Ok, that's completely fair."

"Now get off…I want to sleep." Nicole says with a yawn.

"Tired from a day of doing nothing?"

"I tried to find a respectable way to fix our money issues."

"I thought you were a sociopath, not retarded."

"Can we please leave this for another day…I'll even let you have the bed since I want to wait and see if more info comes up."

"Fuck no, I'm not sleeping in your stink."

"I would think my body odor would be dull after the corpses."

"You thought wrong. Go to your bed."

After a short staring thing, they go to bed.

Later that night, Ashley and Nicole wake up with a jolt and look at the other.

"Did you…?" Ashley asks.

"Guy with a knife?" Nicole asks back as Andrew slowly gets up.

"What's with you two?"

"Remember the demon and how he gave us matching vision bracelets?" Ashley asks.

"Yeah."

"We got a matching dream of a guy coming in here and slitting our throats." Nicole says.

"…Shit. Maybe it has to do with the apartment burning down and that bonus thing the warden mentioned?" Andrew wonders out loud.

"Either way not the time to think on that we gotta get out of here…Nicole you think you can keep him busy?"

"Bitch…!"

After that they leave the room and a few minutes later they see someone enter.

"…So what now?" Ashley asks.

"I need to think…how do we get out of this?" Andrew wonders while biting on his finer. Nicole pulls out the gun as an answer.

"Yeah, let's shoot in a public building. That won't lead to us getting caught. Brilliant." Andrew says.

"What, sour from your interrupted beauty sleep? Or is your period harmonizing with ours?" Nicole asks, getting an eye twitch from Andrew.

"…I'm not sure about the public building part, but shooting him might be our best bet. He found us here when we're supposedly dead. What's to stop him from following further?" Ashley says.

"Huh…You do have a brain." Nicole states.

"Bitch!"

"Either way she has a-" Footsteps approach and they all freeze. A guy in a hood passes them, eyeing them as puzzled as they are at him.

"…Didn't we have him with ramen?" Nicole asks when he is further away.

"There might be a cult meeting in that alley somewhere…" Andrew asks, an unsavory idea forming.

"So…you think we can summon the demon again to fix this?" Ashley asks.

"Maybe? I don't know how far his reach is."

"One way to find out!" Nicole says with a lilt before Andrew grabs her arm.

"You are not taking the gun in there."

"You trust a bunch of demon summoning cultists enough not to go in armed?" Nicole asks.

"They'll think we're cops if we go in with it…We don't exactly hide it real well on us."

"I'll hold onto it here until you both get back." Andrew says.

"Fuck no, you think she'll keep a calm head?" Nicole asks.

"Well I don't trust you alone in general, and I would rather you not be alone with him hussy…besides, that demon did give us both a thing. If they do summon it, it would be good if we both get something since I think that shared dream drained both our things." Ashley says.

"When the fuck did you start making sense? And I still don't like the idea of being in that place with a bunch of cultists who are also rapists."

"I'd offer to go with you, but we can't let our times of the months harmonize, now can we?"

"Were you always this petty?"

"Oh, I got stories about that for all night~." Ashley says.

"…Besides, one of us has to keep an eye here, and considering I don't have a connection with the demon, you two are probably better suited." Andrew says, and Nicole gestures to Ashley.

"I trust you to be more level headed than her in interacting with them. I doubt they are violent this far in the city."

"Alright…not like that's a high bar." Nicole says and Ashley grumbles with her down the alley.

After guessing the world's easiest password, posing as catering, bad flirting as a cultist eats extra cake, seeing the worst cult themed Kumbaya ever that didn't even summon a demon, Nicole and Ashlely are noticed by the head cultist.

"…Where is your robe?"

"Do you see this hair?" Nicole asks, making the old man grimace.

"God damn skanks, anyone is permitted to these now…"

"Sexism at a cult party…that's new." Nicole muses before looking at an unused pair of robes and grins.

"…What are you thinking?"

"This could be good practice for the future when I introduce Nicole-ism to the world~." Nicole says, making Ashley look at her with a furrowed brow.

"…What?"

A few minutes later as the cakes are all devoured, Nicole and Ashley re-enter the room, now robed.

"Brothers and sisters! What is this sorry caricature of a summoning?!" Nicole asks with raised arms, her delivery and manner becoming preacher like. Ashley remains silent, wide eyed at the change.

"W-who are you?"

"I am a senior member in our order, asked to attend to observe your procedure and I must say…it is beyond lacking!"

"Oh no!"

"W-we're trying, really!"

"Is it because I had an extra slice of cake? I didn't think it would-"

"Silence!" Nicole says and the cultists stand still, some of them going to attention.

"You will tell me and my assistant-"

'You little fucking-'

"EXACTLY how you prepared this circle!"

"W-we used fresh candles, the assigned music from the order, and purchased leftover blood from the butcher."

"What did you just say? Repeat that last part." Nicole says, tone as sharp as obsidian, focusing entirely on the wobbling cultist.

"W-w-w-we used blood bought from the butcher and made the-"

"Blasphemy! Bold faced, asinine, pure fucking blasphemy!" Nicole shouts, making all the cultists shiver as she continues.

"Is it the cow or slaughtered pig summoning our dark lord?"

"N-no…But where else are we going to get the blood?"

"I see seven other sources here!" Nicole says making the cultists all look at each other.

"You mean…our blood?"

"What else would you use? Is your faith so thin that an ounce of your blood is worth more than seeing our dark lord? Do you expect him to come for left over, stagnant blood, or the still warm nectar of life?" Nicole asks before tossing a blade to a cultist.

He fumbles and it stabs him in the shoulder.

"N-no Ma'am!" He says between tears.

'Holy shit…' Ashley thinks as they give directions on how to do the ritual.

A minute later a huge demon appears.

"Holy shit it worked." Nicole mutters softly before speaking up.

"O…Dark lord, I beseech thee to-"

"I just talked to him normally, you don't need this sanctimonious crap."

"Fuck off, I'm having a moment…Can you take the soul of a dastard in a nearby motel room?"

The demon looks at them, already bored, and leaves.

"…Why did you ask him that, High Elder?" One cultist asks and Nicole freezes a moment.

"…My ex is stalking me." Nicole says.

"That bastard! He should move on!"

"Stalking is a crime…is he ignoring the restraining order?"

"Uh…yes?" Nicole says and the cultists start gesturing wildly.

"What a scumbag!"

"Well if the police won't do anything, we will!"

"What?" Nicole and Ashley ask at the same time.

"Point us at him! We'll take care of him! Me and my cousin take care of these kinda bastards all the time. Here, have some money, I always keep a few extra hundreds on me to help battered and afraid women get away from such assholes."

After that, Nicole and Ashley lead their followers past a very confused real Elder of the cultists to an equally confused Andrew.

"What…the fuck?"

"Is this the bastard!? The mob shouts nearing Andrew.

"No! He is keeping an eye on the bastard in the motel up ahead. He is a friend." Nicole says.

After that they point out the room, and the cultists bum rush the bodyguard, screams from cultists and later the hit man ringing out.

The trio doesn't stay long, and go into a car to drive away.

"What the Hell was that?!" Andrew asks.

"Surprisingly wholesome demon worshippers." Ashley says.

"And the precursor to Nicole-ism~." Nicole says with a smile, the hood off now.

"…What? Are you on something again?"

"No, she's sober…just weird." Ashley says before gasping.

"What is it?!"

"I left my favorite bra back in the motel room!"
