I'm now responding to my reviews, so those will be at the end of the fic, thanks!
Conan had always known that Evan and Andy were weird, to say the least. There was Evan, who was your token weird new kid. The kind Conan really liked picking on for about a month or two. Then he would usually leave them alone. But something about Evan Ross really irritated Conan. Maybe it was his red hair...he'd never been a fan of red hair. Mostly it was the Monster Blood stories...he hated hearing about that nasty green junk. Conan knew it just had to be some stupid scary story the new kid had made up, it was just that...well...
Conan the Barbarian did not like scary things. Like Cuddles, for example. When Mr. Murphy's stupid fat hamster had grown bigger than the school, Conan was pretty scared. Then Cuddles tried to eat him. Conan still had nightmares about that. So it made sense that Conan did not appreciate Evan telling everybody in school about the weird sticky, gooey, green Monster Blood that had tried to kill him and his friend Andy.
Who Conan thought was a boy, until he met the real Andy.
Though there was no way whatsoever that he would admit it, Conan actually had respect for Andy.
Secretly, he thought it was pretty cool that she didn't let others boss her around. It was cool that she stuck with Evan even when it was pretty obvious the world's biggest weirdo. It was cool that she stood up to him, really.
Conan also had to admit Andy was almost...kind of...cute when she got mad. Not like he liked her or anything.
No way. Don't even suggest it. Conan probably wouldn't have teased Andy and all of that other stuff he did, except that she was friends with Evan. And according to the whole school, once you were friends with someone Conan didn't like, he was your enemy. So Conan didn't really have any choice in the matter. Sometimes he hated that.
At the moment, what he hated was the way everything around him had started getting really weird. First Evan ended up in the hospital because his annoying little pipsqueak of a cousin had beaten him up. There was something really wrong with that, Conan was sure. Evan might be a wimp, but even he could beat Kermit up.
Then there was the way Andy was reacting to everything. Freaking out and running away like someone was after her. Maybe Kermit, Conan thought to himself. What the heck was up with Kermit, anyway? It was odd...something was really off with Kermit. He didn't get mad and stuff like he usually did when Conan bothered him. (Only because of that whole Evan thing)
What was worse, he was pretty sure that Evan hadn't been lying about the Monster Blood crap now.
Except Conan was quite sure the stuff he was getting sucked into was defintely not green.
It was a deep, sickening red. It take long for Conan to be completely inside the stuff...he couldn't breathe...
But then, suddenly, he could. Something was weird...Andy started screaming. It hurt Conan's ears.
The envolping, sick, dark red had gone away pretty quickly. Conan was glad of that.
Then he heard a weird sound. It was something like a person talking, but there was something distinctly...catlike...about the very feminine voice. And what it had to say was not something Conan liked at all.
"Hello, 'Conan the Barbarian'. My name is Sarabeth and I am now your master. For your first task..."
Conan's body, to his horror, began moving on it's own. And he started choking Andy.
To The Fans (yeah, right)
BadMoonlight - You really like this? Thanks! Good to know I'm not the only person who digs up old stuff. And there'll be more Conan...I can't say more about his being possessed, though. I'd love to read your Goosebumps story if you ever get around to writing it!
Ihateyou - Creative name, really. Very mature. Your little flame did up my reviews, so thanks for that. If you do write any stories, I would like to see them. Email them to me. But I have to say...if my writing did suck so badly that it would "kill" you, could you perhaps give me some pointers on how to better my work next time? And for future reference -- one, if you are really so upset about a fanfic that it could kill you, I suggest immediate help. Two, try reading all of a story and think of things you don't like about it before you flame, and address that instead. You'll come off as much more mature.
the truth - Well, I think you've kind of got to read most of the Monster Blood series before you understand this fic...
