I'd Wanna Be Me Too

With nary a care Jupiter ambled through the creepy forest. Upon seeing the foreboding trees and the consuming darkness below their tangled tops, Amadeus had bailed on the adventure so Jupiter was alone. That suited him just fine although he was going to miss having someone to bounce snarky comments off of. The forest just demanded them. Oooo what a creepy spider. Doesn't that hollow look like the perfect place to hide a body? Amadeus didn't know what he was missing. Oh, well. Jupiter would just have to amuse himself.

His grandfather had told him about this place, how he'd used to scare Jupiter's father when he misbehaved with stories of some kind of evil white witch who ate puppies, so naturally Jupiter had decided to visit. Not knowing him well, Jupiter was curious about Angelus' childhood. He craved the kind of closeness Valentine described, how his aunts and uncles had bickered, fought and bonded in the south. More than anything else he wanted what they'd had and it made him sad to think of his own fractured little family. If he ever had kids, he vowed, he'd make sure to give them all the things he'd wished he'd had as a child.

Realizing he'd fallen into some kind of broody funk, Jupiter shook himself and redirected his attention to his surroundings. Up ahead was a patch of sunlight. Surrounded as he was by darkness, Jupiter was drawn to it like a moth to flame. He stepped into it and basked in the warmth while he tried to decide his next course of action.
