Strings of Fate

Chapter 6: Alone In A New Home

Jasmine awoke the next morning when her alarm refused to turn off.

She lazily opened her eyes and smiled seeing Jester had fallen asleep leaning on her.

"Aww sweet little guy." she thought and looked around seeing the other puppets asleep.

Blade was the first to notice his master was awake and sat up.

"Surprised you can sleep through the most annoying alarm on the planet" Jasmine whispered not wanting to wake the puppets up.

Blade simply looked at the picture by Jasmine's computer.

Jasmine sighed begrudgingly getting up, Six Shooter and Jester waking up having been sleeping on her, that and the alarm was starting to get annoying.

After quickly getting changed into a carvary waitress outfit and tying her hair back she quickly got washed and ready.

"I have to go to work ok? I'll be back at half five." she said but before she could go near the door Blade and Pinhead stepped in front of her.

Jasmine sighed. "I know I went through something bad last night, but I have to go to work. Bills are due and I need the money." She explained and picked up her bag which was too small for even Jester to hide in.

"Persistent isn't she?" Tunneler said looking at Torch and Six Shooter.

Torch shrugged walking around bored.

"Be good and you're free to wonder just don't go in any room that has a door closed" Jasmine said and went off without another word.

For the rest of the day the puppets tried to find something to do, Blade quickly cleaned his blade off and Jester soon finding a book to read.

Torch huffed bored.

"There is nothing to do!"

Pinhead looked up at the computer.

"I'm sure when master returns she can show us how to use these things." He said, none of them had much experience in actually using things like computers, they had only ever seen humans use them.

Jester looked up from the book he was reading.

"Why not use the TV, it looks easy enough." He said wanting to get the metal puppet to stop complaining.

Torch only grumbled and wandered around.

Blade sighed to himself Torch had been even more grumpy than normal since the previous master had disconnected his flamethrower. Since then Torch had a grudge against women.

And frankly Torch was starting to get on his nerves.

"What's so special about this one anyway?" Torch asked after a few minutes.

"She is special because she and I have met before. When she was a young child." Blade replied and paused.

"Before you had been woken up last time and not long after the anniversary of." he continued but couldn't finish.

Six Shooter walked over and put a hand on their leaders shoulder.

"We all miss her Blade, there wasn't anymore you could of done. You need to leave the past in the past she wouldn't want you moping." He said.

Blade nodded.

"I know."

The rest of the day went by slowly as most of the puppets stayed up waiting for Jasmine to return.

When she finally did come back after being twenty minutes late Jasmine wasn't alone.
