Uncertainty

I think that everything has spiraled into a situation that I can barely understand. Terri spit in Negative's face, which caused him to whip her again with one of his tentacles. Terri dropped to the ground. She looked angry, steel blade claws grew out of her fingers out of the blue. She jumped and scratched his face. Negative didn't bleed, instead a black sludge dropped out of the wound. Negative began to get frustrated from the looks of it.I tried the ash tray again. It hit Negative this time.
He started to sprout even more tentacles, he seemed mad. He attacked Terri & jumped with her out. I have not seen them since. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Prey

Negative found us. Of course he did, how could he not have? We were barely two blocks away.Terri had passed out during all the commotion earlier. Negative burst throughout the window.

Me: Why don't you leave us alone!
Negative: Savage may not eliminate me. It's either him or me.
Me: You've got the wrong person. If she was Savage I would know as I've been stalking her for the past few months.
Negative: Really? I think you've just been avoiding it.
Me: No...if she would've been some entity, then she wouldn't act like this.
Negative: You said it yourself that she behaves strangely.
Me: I...I don't know why...

Negative took Terri up with his tentacle. The pressure against her wounds caused her to wake up. She looked at Negative with fear in her eyes.

Negative: Your time has come Savage!
It appeared as Terri was able to receive his message now too, because she reacted to it.
Terri: What do you want from me.
Negative: I want you to tell me what plan you had in mind for me.
Terri: I don't know what you are talking about.
He started to squeeze around her body even harder.
Negative: I know it's you Savage, don't lie to me.
Me: Stop this!

I picked up an ashtray that lay on the table and threw it and Negative. I instead hit Terri in the head. Instead of reacting at all to the hit, she calmed down.
For a moment everything was quiet as if the world around us didn't exist.
Terri closed her eyes for a while.
That little while felt like forever, it was if time slowed down just for this moment.
She opened her eyes, looked directly at Negative with the same look she had given me when she discovered me stalking her.

Terri: Quotations of a negative mind are a easy prey, don't you think?


Whip

I walked in on something that one might label unpleasant. I went over to Terri's house to bring her some chicken soup so she could relax a bit better. I knocked on the door, nobody answered, but I knew she was home. I let myself in since the door was unlocked.
In the living room I saw Terri being on the floor covered in whip wounds. Over her was Negative facing his head towards me as I entered.

Negative: What are you doing here Proximity?
Me: I could ask you the same question, what are you doing to Terri?
Negative: I can no longer rest in the shadows knowing that Savage is up to something.
Me: Who the hell is Savage?
Negative: Savage is the blood covered being that lies here on the ground.
Me: Terri is Savage? The being that you think is out to get you?

Terri was scared, in a hurdled position crying her eyes out. From her perspective I was just yelling, since she had no idea what Negative was saying.

Negative: I've had enough of its pathetic attempts to throw me off course.
Me: Will you look at Terri? I doubt a being out to get you would cry and hurdle up like this.
Negative: Perhaps, but I know it's Savage. Savage disappeared a few years ago and I had been unable to trace him until she moved into town.
Me: That could just be a coincidence.
Negative: I don't think so.

He prepared to whip Terri again with his tentacle. I threw myself in front of her making Negative hit me instead in the back.

Negative: What are you doing? Taking Savage's side?!
Me: It's not Savage!
Negative: Ungrateful human! Move away!

I threw my jacket in the air, to momentarily distract him. I know it was a dumb move, but it worked. I managed to at least flee with Terri behind the house.
We ran across several gardens. At one point I even had to carry her, because she didn't have strength to carry on. We managed to get to Dan's place.
He wasn't home. No one was home and we seem to be safe from The Negative, at least for a little while.

Savage

I confronted the Negative today. I went up to him, having built up some courage beforehand.
My tone was not by any means annoyed, angry or threatening. I just simply wanted some questions answered.

Me: Negative?
Negative: Hmm...?
Me: Sorry if I'm being a bit of a pest, but I am really curious why you wish to continue this investigation. I mean from what I've gathered there's nothing out of the ordinary about Terri.
Negative: Well...let's just say that Savage has yet to reveal his plan. I'm suspicious.
Me: Savage?
Negative: Yes, Savage.

Is it just me or can I never get a straight answer out of Negative. It's like he's talking in riddles without giving a hint at what the answer might be. Who the hell is Savage?

Insomnia

Today at the school that I visit, but don't go to I had lunch with my friends. As per usual we had conversations during our meal. Terri started randomly a discussion about her insomnia she has been having as of late.

Me: Perhaps you need to just get some sleep medication or something.
Dan: Yeah...worked for my uncle when he had trouble sleeping.
Terri: I don't know. Whenever I manage to get sleep, I seem to be plagued with nightmares.

That's right, I nearly forgot that she had a problem with nightmares.

Dan: On a unrelated note, why are you eating meat? I thought you were a vegetarian.
Terri: I don't know, I just want meat. I haven't slept in like 50 hours and I'm stressed over finals, so don't I deserve a break?
Dan: You do-you do...

Terri has been a bit of a nervous train wreck lately. Perhaps its all caused by stress.

Me: Why don't you go to a spa or something. Try to relax.

She shrugged and kept eating her cheeseburger.

Girlfriend

The Negative likes my new way of doing things, I'm pleased. For a while there I thought I'd have to kiss my kidneys goodbye. Anyway today Terri, Dan & I went out for ice cream. I think that they were celebrating being friends. Terri & Dan have a unstable on-again-off-again relationship, sort of like Ross & Rachel.
I like it better when they are not together, since otherwise I always feel like a third wheel. 

Dan asked me if I had a girlfriend. When on earth would I have time for a girlfriend with my crazy lifestyle of stalking people and working for a faceless humanoid tentacle entity. I had a girlfriend once, ended badly.

Childhood

I'm starting to love hanging out with Terri & her friends. I have not forgotten my mission, but I think it's nice to have a shred of a normal life for a change. I've never had friends or such so I like to enjoy myself a little. When I was 5 I was taken under the wing or tentacle in this case of the Negative. I owe him my life, so I never complain directly to him about anything. I'm just glad to have even lived for seventeen years.
