Chapter 5: Fear
Ink: So, always remember that these bottles are not just for giving you feelings, it helps keep the others alive. Except, that for them that tastes like ink. And if you don't know which one you'll use for the one who needs one of these, one of them will glow to be easier for 'ya!! Well (gets up), I think that's all for today, Mike.
Michael: Thanks, Ink.
Ink: He-he, you need it, Mike. You'll be one of the important guardians while this war goes on!!
Michael: Am I?
Ink: Sure!! Oh, and one more thing.
Michael: What is it?
Ink: Since you have a part of me, you should probably want to start taking a lot of notes from now on...
Michael: Why?
Ink: 'Cause, I forget everything very easily, that's why I write on my scarf!!
Michael: Oh... Oh, don't worry, I will, I take a loooot of notes, ha-ha...
Ink: Mike, I know you since you were born, don't lie to me...
Michael: *sigh*
*knock knock*
Ink: (opens the door) Vanessa??
Vanessa: Hey, Ink. Can I talk to you, after... you talk with Mike... please?
Ink: Sure, besides, I was just finishing his lesson!! (looks at Mike) 'Kay, Mike, I'm gonna go. When I arrive, here again, I want a drawing of me!!
Michael: ...
Ink: Ha-ha, just kidding! Bye!
Michael: Bye!
Later...
(Ink and Vanessa get out of an ink portal)
Ink: So, what do you want to talk about?
Vanessa: You know that thing that we talked about, like, a while ago?
Ink: Oh! That thing 'bout your soul? Sure! I wrote it on my scarf. But... Are you sure you want to know?
Vanessa: Of course! I'll know when I get to my moment anyway...
Ink: Ok then... Your soul is the soul of Fear, that is one of the most powerful souls we have as well!! You'll have a little creature by your side, that is called Kumu, and it can give any kinds of weapons you want. Scythes, wings, and any other things. The person that will give you that soul is-
Vanessa: Betty Noire, YES!!!
Ink: Yes, Betty- Wait... What? Do you know her?
Vanessa: Of course I do! She's so beautiful!!
Ink: ... You know that she almost destroyed an entire city, right?
Vanessa: I know she did!! But she changed right?
Ink: Yeah, I was able to convince her and Kumu. But I think Kumu is still the same as always, but it doesn't want to be suspicious...
Vanessa: I see. Well, it's cool to know that I'm going to be Betty Noire.
Ink: Yeah, it seems though... But, look, I... never got the moment to tell this to Mike, but... I kinda have a dark side, that I can barely control well.
Vanessa: What is it?
Ink: Well, it's kinda difficult to explain it, but... It's kind of a shadow that appears when I'm either out of inspiration to draw or without feelings. I called him myself Blacko, 'cause 'ya know...? He's black and everything... And... since Mike is going to be "half me", he's definitely going to have a Blacko as well. I'm just afraid that Blacko could use him as a puppet somehow...
Vanessa: Do not worry, Ink! Mike really knows how good and bad sides are. If you know us since we were all born, then you must know that Mike in the 8th grade did pick up with me a lot of times. But then when I told him about how I felt about it, he changed for the best, and now... We're pretty good friends sharing things between each other, just... in the friend zone... *sigh*...
Ink: He-he, I know that story!! I really understand that you love Michael a lot, but you can't just go straight to the point. You know what I'm talking about, right?
Vanessa: Yeah...
Ink: Making someone love you takes a lot of time, especially when you started to have a crush on Mike, you started like you wanted to kidnap him or something...
Vanessa: ... He-he-he...
Ink: But now I see that you started like a "pro" this year. You know what Michael wants, and that actually helps 'ya a lot, pal. You two started pretty well this year.
Vanessa: Awww... I mean... I'm really trying to have to be good friends with him, even if I want more with him, there's always something that wants to separate us, like Carneiro. I don´t know what I've done, to some people try to separate me from who I love...
Ink: Oh, Vanessa. Life is like that, it's the destiny that comes through your way, but that happens to everyone. Even the worst things you imagine can happen!! Only... To make you stronger.
Vanessa: *sigh* I know, Ink, but... Is it really necessary? Like... Do you think Carneiro is doing a good thing, putting jokes on an actual relationship?
Ink: You mean, between you and Mike?
Vanessa: Yeah, but I meant relationship as friends, not relationship as a couple. But yes, I do want to date Mike, but I think is not the time yet... Eleonor told me, that Roderick told her that Mike has a crush on me as well, but... Even if it is a pun or not, I'm not ready yet.
Ink: Yeah, that's totally normal, Vanny!! Maybe I should go to my place now, I'm having a lot of ideas in my head for drawings right now, and I don't want to forget them, 'kay? Bye, Vanny!
Vanessa: Bye, Ink!!
