"Cheers!" Joy said as she brought the cookie to her mouth. "Cheers!" Replied Temptation. As he brought the cookie to his mouth, he the cookie's scent came to his nose, and it reminded him of something...
Wait, this is a familiar smell. He thought. He smelled it again, and his eyes opened up wide in horror.
"Wait! Joy, don't-" But it was too late. Joy had taken a bite of the cookie.
OH SNAP SHE ATE THE CURSED COOKIE! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT, QUICK, SOMEONE WRITE MOAR--!

Joy gasps sharply. Some invisible pain makes her face blanch. She tries to breathe, and she coughs. "No!" Just as she staggers, Temptation grabs her and sinks to the ground, gripping her by the shoulders. "No, no, no," He whispers -- more to himself than to Joy. "Not you. Not you." It was just like what had happened to the other man that day; her skin began to darken to a sickly gray color, peeling here and there. Her eyes glazed over. She began to tremble and squirm with pain. A moan broke from her dry lips, unintelligible. Already the spell was complete, and she'd lost her senses. Horror makes Temptation's blood run cold. For a few seconds he can do nothing but stare at her despairingly. Then, when she attempts to squirm herself free of him, he tightens his grip and hugs her. "I'm sorry," He whispers. "I'm so, so sorry." I did this. His mind races. I don't know who that man was, but if he has that same poison I do, that means he works for the same people I do. . . and that he knew that I was here, instead of being in the forest like I was supposed to. I wasn't supposed to ever leave, and especially not to make contact with anyone. That's why they hurt her. It's a warning to me. "Luke. . .?" Joy's voice, small and feeble, trails off weekly as another spasm of pain makes her shudder in his arms. Temptation takes a deep breath -- and feels new resolve grow and harden within him. "Don't worry, Joy," He mutters, even though he knows she is so far gone in the sickness that she can neither hear him nor comprehend anything around her. "It's gonna be all right. I promise, the people who did this to you are not going to get away with it." Knowing that the man who passed them the poisoned cookies would already be too far gone to catch, Temptation disposes the thought of pursuing him. Against the glare of the booming fireworks above and the dark shadows cast by the buildings and the thick crowd of people, it'd be impossible. Instead he calls. "Help! Is anyone here a doctor?"
Their nice people. Ya know when they're not hanging out under bridges and such. Thanks.
Maybe I've met them before after all then.
Lol, I was totally kidding. I really doubt that you've met them so far. Off topic but do you know if there are going to be any nerf battles in my state?

I feel like I just asked on a different topic which state you live in again, so I'm gonna hold of asking this yet again, and hope I find that post somewhere before this gets too awkward...

Wait. That's my job. Right.
I'm going to admit, even writing that part of the story broke my own heart. I believe I thought of Joy from the very beginning, so smashing her in this segment was quite terrifying.
