Chapter Two: Sympathy
November 19, 2023 at 2:52 AM
While the captive redhead was sitting in the cell, thinking and getting ready for bed, the villainess at that time found a new planet, blue.
β Yeah! Here's another one. It's time to destroy it. β she just thought about it out loud, but her gaze immediately fell on the chocolates. At this time, the voice of Wander sounded in my head:
β βDonβt talk about chocolate like that! Everyone loves him... And not just girls, by the way.β
The girl shook her head, trying to discard these thoughts and focus on the planet itself. He activated a huge drill and was preparing to hammer away at the earthly punishment of this planet, when suddenly the pupils in his red eyes fell again on the box of chocolates. Her thoughts still couldnβt get rid of the weirdoβs words about chocolate and such an unexpected gift. In addition, she had not eaten anything for a long time and wanted to have dinner before bed. Sighing heavily, he firmly declared to himself:
β Fine! Let this planet live until tomorrow for now! β said and put the huge drill back into the flagship. She then took the box of chocolates and went to her bedroom.
Entering the bedroom without taking off her shoes or even undressing, the villainess lies down on the bed, jumping on it as if on a springboard. Having made herself more comfortable, holding a box of chocolates in her left hand, she reaches for the red button on the wired telephone with her right hand.
β I wonder who called?
The phone has an answering machine with the same voice as the bots, which says:
β There are no new messages for you.
β Strange! β she said to herself, grinning. β Let's check the greetings. β she added and pressed the blue button.
β You have three greetings. First greeting. β said the answering machine and Lord Hayter's voice was heard from the phone:
β Hello, Dominator. How are you doing? I want to take you on a date tomorrow evening on planet Fabu. I hope you come.
β Second greeting. β the answering machine added and then the voice of the weirdo who is now in her captivity was heard:
β Hello, Domi. How are you?
β Third greeting. β the answering machine finishes, and this time the voice of the Dominator herself is heard, which she sent to herself after calling herself a few hours ago:
β If you utter a single word, I will find you and gut you to hell!... To send a fax, press the star!
Then there was a quiet beeping and an answering machine:
β Greetings over.
β Okay! β Domi said to herself, stretching her lip slightly forward, making herself more comfortable again, taking out the remote control and turning on the TV.
At that time, there was a cartoon series on TV about an eccentric in a red hat who rescued some bird and pestered a big, red-haired grumbler, trying to convince him to try green eggs and green ham. The villainess really liked the cartoon series itself and seemed quite funny. Especially because of how that weirdo pissed him off. In general, he even somewhat resembled the prisoner who was now in her captivity and who was exactly the same pestering, with almost exactly the same character. When such an association arose in her head, she turned off the TV so as not to see it.
The Dominator didnβt even notice how she opened the box and ate one chocolate candy. The chocolate turned out to be so delicious that she smiled and decided to try it again. She really liked the chocolate. Apparently that weirdo knew how to calm her down and awaken her nobility towards him. True, eating chocolate without the TV was not interesting and I had to turn it on again. And that cartoon series about the weirdo and the grouch didnβt end. I had to switch the TV channel, and there was a program on there that was somewhat similar to βHoney, we are killing children!β where the parent bullied the child and punished him stupidly for nothing.
She changed the channel again so as not to see this horror, because it brought back terrible memories from the past. Then there was some excerpt from some movie, where some guy with a gun was aiming at the door and before shooting he shouted:
β SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!! β after shouting, he fired and in the next frame they showed an explosion that threw a couple of people away from the door.
β Nonsense! β she said and switched again, and on the next TV channel they showed a double plagiarism. It was a humanoid similar to Wander, but in armor like hers and a helmet, and also with red eyes, who looked angrily at the screen and gloated:
β Fear me, galaxy! Me, Lord Wander!
β Well, yo-o-ou ba-a-asta-a-ard!... PLAGIARISM!!! - she shouted and threw the TV remote control straight at the TV itself, breaking the screen and now it didnβt work.
There was nothing left to see, and the box of chocolates was already empty. Apparently she had already eaten them all without even noticing it herself. throwing the box aside, she relaxed, pulled her hands up, joined her fingers and put her palms under her head. The villainess was getting ready to go to bed, but she was just getting sick of insomnia. It was boring and there was nothing to do until she fell asleep. There was nothing left to do but suffer through bullshit.
β HE-ELO-O-O-O!!! β she howled like a wolf and listened as the echo repeated the same thing after her. β HOW ARE YOU??? β she asked her echo, otherwise it repeated after him again. β I ASKED FIRST!!! β Domi shouted, grinning, and the echo repeated after her again. β ONLY YOU CAN REPEAT!!! β Domi shouted, immediately changing her smile to anger, and the echo repeated after her again, which angered her even more. She didnβt think long and shouted: β IβM AN IDIOT!!!
She hoped that the echo would also repeat the same thing after her, but no. Echo, suddenly this time deciding that this was a question, answered the Dominator, in her own echoing voice:
β YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!
Domi folded her arms across her chest, her lip pulled forward in anger.
β All! β she said in a half whisper. β I donβt talk to you anymore because Iβm offended by you. Now I will only whisper, and when my voice is reflected from the walls and then reaches my ears, I will no longer hear it.
It was only in vain that she smiled at that moment, because the echo repeated the same thing again:
β YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!
β SHUT UP!!! β Dominator shouted, and the echo responded:
β NOPE!!! YOU SHUT UP!!!
She grumpily lay down with her head on the bed and began to get angry at her own echo. But she still couldnβt sleep. Previously, she usually fell asleep immediately at such moments, but now she cannot. It was as if something was preventing her from falling asleep or as if someone was missing nearby. At one point, she again remembered the redhead who was in her captivity. The villainess tried with all her might not to think about this annoying bastard, but her thoughts still went about him. What worries her so much? Is she really?... Attached to him?... No, some kind of nonsense!... Although! Maybe give him a chance? Let him sleep next to her, so to speak, so that she can at least fall asleep. But only for one night and that's it. He is still her prisoner, and she saved his life. Giving up on these thoughts, she got out of bed and left her bedroom.
Having found the right camera with Here-I-Tam, who at that time was already lying on a hard bed, using his own hat as a sleeping bag and sleeping, smiling. Only she was surprised not by this, but by where the second prisoner had disappeared. She remembers very well that there should have been another one past him. Then she felt a cool wind blowing from somewhere, and she grabbed her shoulders and rubbed them. By touch, she noticed that the poster with her on the wall had almost fallen off. Taking it off the wall, Domi saw a hole in the wall.
β βYeah! That's where the cold comes from! And this prisoner turned out to be more cunning than I thought. Okay, let him go to hell. One is enough for me!β β she thought and looked again at the weirdo. Then new questions began to doubt her thoughts: β βWhy didnβt he run away with him, but stayed? He knows that I could possibly kill him tomorrow. Why didn't he run away at the same time?... Did he fall in love with me?... That's why he decided to stay?... Some kind of stupidity!... And he... Looks quite cute when he sleeps... Maybe he wonβt mind if he sleeps with me this night?... But only one night and thatβs it! I decided! All!"
After thinking about this, she took the weirdo in the sleeping hat in her arms and slowly dragged him along in her arms. One of the bots was passing by her at that moment.
β Lord Dominator, where are you taking this prisoner in the middle of the night? β the bot asked, and she, a little scared, shushed him in response, placing her index finger on her lips, and then spoke in a half-whisper:
β Not so loud! Let him sleep! By the way, since you're here, can you fix the hole in the cell where I took him from?
β Will be done! β Lowering the volume of his metallic voice, the bot answered her and moved on. The Dominator also moved on, back to the bedroom. On the way, the redhead yawned, opening his mouth wider. It seemed that he would wake up now, but no. He was still sleeping. Quietly sighing with relief, the villainess carried him further in her arms.
Having reached her bedroom, she places the weirdo in the sleeping hat on the left side of the bed, and she lies down next to him on the right side. At this moment, while the Dominator was lying and temporarily looking at the weirdo as he slept, she yawned. She finally wanted to sleep. True, for some reason she didnβt want to sleep now. She would like to continue to watch him sleep. However, the sleepy elf kept demanding her to fall asleep, and it didnβt matter whether she wanted it or not.
β βNo... Youβre still stubborn, incorrigible and annoying, like a little pain in the ass.β β she thought about him, grinning, not just insulting in her thoughts, but rather lovingly, thinking about him like that. Domi didnβt even notice that she had already fallen asleep.
The weirdo himself at that moment opened his right eye, looked at the villainess next to whom he was sleeping, and then closed his eye, whispering out loud:
β Good night, Domi!
Notes:
Don't worry! I will not repeat the same thing that Domi allegedly fell in love with Wander or that he fell in love with her. There will be no such thing as a romantic relationship between them. I promise you!
