“See Cubbi, I
brought it from home,”
“How did you bring it
from him, Elliot?” Cubbi asked looking at the snake that was in the other boy’s
hands. “You live in another timeline all
together.”
“I know/” Cubbi’s
mouth dropped open in shock.
“Elliot you crossed
the timeline to get this?” Elliot nodded.
“Elliot, Plucki
finds that out, I don’ want to be a round.”
“Why scared?”
“Scared of what he would have done to my backside if I did that.” Elliot just
stared at him. Then spoke,
“Your
going to let a guy run your life like that?”
“He’s not running my
life Elliot. But I am smart enough to not to do disobey him and not do
something like that.” Elliot rolled his eyes and went back to playing with his
new found pet. The both of the boys were handling the thing for awhile
contently, when Corvi walked into the living room, Seeing
the snake Corvi about jumped out of his skin.
“Elliot, Cubbi go
put that thing out side.”
“I don’t have to.”
Elliot told the older boy stubbornly.
“Elliot put that
thing outside before I go get Plucki.” Elliot shook his head no.
Cubbi was about to
take the thing out so things didn’t get ugly here. Plucki walked in and
demanded to know what was going on. The captain startled the snake and took a
bit into Cubbi’s arm
“PLUCKI GET IT OFF!”
Plucki immediately ran over to take the thing off and caught a glimpse at the
thing's head,
“Oh shit!” The word
slipped out of his mouth.
“Plucki it hurts!
Get it off.” Getting the thing off the child, Plucki threw it out side and
turned to the boys.
“Who brought that
thing in here?”
“Elliot.”
“Why in the world
did you….”
“P'ucki,
Cubbi looks funny,”
“He
what?” Turning he could see
the boy turning three shades of blue,
“You’re going to
sickbay Cubbi,” He said picking the kid up and running down the hall he stopped
a second and told Elliot to meet him in his office and he’d be right back as
soon as he got Cubbi the help he needed.
Once in Sickbay, the
medics rushed all around the cub, trying to get him the anti venom as fast as
they could. Seeing that he was stable again, but unconscious, Plucki headed to Blastus’s office,
“Blastus I need you
to go to the other timeline and bring back Elliot’s mother, he’s in serious
trouble.” Blastus was up out of his seat as Plucki explained what he did.
“He
WHAT?!” Blastus said as he
stormed into Plucki’s office himself.
“I’ll get her as
soon as I teach him a lesson myself Plucki.” Plucki nodded and winced he had
never see Blastus that mad in his life. Plucki hadn’t closed the door yet
before hearing the wails of Elliot. He
stood out side the door to see what would happen next. Blastus stormed out the
door and outside to the main fields.
When Plucki was with
Elliot scolding him for what he had done, and waiting for his mother to show,
he told him that. The child jumped out of his seat and climbed up a bookshelf
that was standing there and onto the rafters.
“NO Pucki don’t let her do that ! She
hurt!”
“Good now get down
here and wait for her.”
“NO NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO
I not doing that! She hurts!”
“That’s the idea.”
“She said she come
here she take big brothers stick to me!” Elliot wailed not budging.
“There she is now.”
Plucki said pointing out his window then heading out to greet her.
“HE
WHAT?!” I yelled in shock,
“Is Cubbi alright?”
“He is now, but we found
that he’s highly allergic to the thing, and had stopped breathing for a good
five minutes.” I sighed hard. As Plucki
told me more, I didn’t give him another chance to say anything as I opened the
door and looked to see my son sitting in the rafters.
“Elliot Ixavior Krystolis Michael Walker,
you get your tail down here now!” Seeing I wasn’t playing he climbed down and
walked over to me.
“Hi
Mamma.” He said using the
cute and innocent tone and eyes.
“DON’T you EVEN try
it Young Bear.” Elliot backed up knowing that mean trouble. I pulled him back
and kept a good grip on him. I shoved him into a chair.
“Elliot Ixavior do you remember what I told you before you left?”
The child nodded as tears rolled down his cheeks.
“Stop it, your going
to want those in a little bit.” He swallowed and looked down.
“I didn’t know he
was going to get bit, Mamma.”
“We’ll are you even
supposed to cross the timeline?”
“No.”
“Are you supposed to
go somewhere without letting others know where you are?”
“No Mamma. But,…”
“No Elliot Ixavior, I’m doing the talking right now. Are you even supposed to mess with the
wildlife like that without Tanni around like that?”
“Mamma
I not.” Getting down to the
kid’s level I looked at him in the eye,
“Elliot Ixavior Cubbi is now very sick because of that, and he
could have died”
“I
sorry Mamma.” Seeing that he understood this I stood up and
led him to Plucki’s desk then turned him back towards me.
“Elliot you know I
love you right?” He nodded.
“Good. So you know
why I do this. Now tell me the reason you're getting punished.”
“He closed his eyes
I knew the kids all hated this part. But I seen it as away they learned. Elliot
repeated everything that he had done to earn what he had. Before
I started in.
