“What’s going on?” Darkness surrounds me. I tried to move around but couldn’t. Whatever I was under was too strong, but fluffy. I tried pushing it up, but again I was too weak. “I hope I’m not trapped under something stupid.” Something sweet in my mouth caught my attention. I sigh at the taste of whatever I had. Chewing and swallowing it, savoring the flavor. I couldn’t help moaning a little. It was the best I’ve ever had since the chicken bits. “What is this? It tastes good.”

“Is it yum yum to your tum tum?” Rue asked.

“Ye-” I stopped mid-thought, “I’m not a little kid!”

“So you’re a big boy deep inside a little girl?” Rue smiled.

I looked at Rue who looked back, “I think you mean trapped inside?”

Rue towers over me, his blood-red eyes staring down. He locked his eyes with my red and pink ones and said with a straight face, “No.” Smirking at me, he then started talking in a condescending tone like a child, “Did the wittle waby get a bwig bwoy stucky deepwy insidey you? Did it hurty?”

“When I get out of here, I’m going to kill you,” I glared at him. He was making me out to be some sort of weirdo. “You say you’re here to help, but all you do is-“

Rue cut me off, “Lick your hand.”

“Lick what!?” I asked him, confused by this change in subject. “Why would I-“

“Just do it,” he said sharply, like a parent scolding their kid.

“Fine! Jackass!” I licked my hands, making sure Rue didn’t peak. “He must be up to something,” I thought to myself. But I didn’t know what it was he was after. “This!” I thought to myself, “It’s the yummy food! Great, now he’s got me saying it.” My grumbling stomach wanted more. So I felt around my body for the yummy liquid. It was all over my arms and upper body.

As I felt around, I found a hole in my chest. I wanted to panic, but for some reason I was really calm about a hole in my chest. Deciding to go deeper, I put my right hand down the hole while licking the liquid with my other hand. My hand went down a bit before I felt something round. “What is that?” I started squeezing it, curious about what it was. “Gasp!” The feeling of squeezing it felt strange. It was painful but felt a little good, like eating spicy food. I started getting tired and a feeling of danger arose.

Out of breath, I decided to leave it alone. I didn’t know what it was or why it was in me. All I know is that it was important. It might be a heart or some other major organ. My chest started to glow a pink color. Quickly, I covered up the tiny hole that I could see Rue from and huddled over it. Something black starts to cover the pink glow. Curious, I reached for it.

Before I touch the black, the pink glow shines on my hand, revealing the yummy food. My hands were stained red with blood. “Is-is that-?” I started trembling, my voice breaking, “It-it was... Why is there blood?” A feeling of disgust filled my stomach. “No! It must be my blood! That’s the only way to explain the hole in my chest. And the food was probably bread or something. Yeah, bread. They must have tricked me into trusting them and then tried to kill me!! Yeah!!” I sat there pulling my hair and crying. “Why!? Why did they do this? What did I do to them!? I haven’t done anything wrong.”

On the outside, Fala had lost consciousness and fell in the water. Her blood painted the water red, though it faded away pretty quick since Aze quickly got her out. Her short curly orange hair and swimsuit were stained red throughout. Aze took a deep breath, applying the pee towel on for pressure as it was the closest thing nearby. Pulling Fala out of the bathtub, Aze places her sitting upright against the wall.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Aze raised her arm, “Timeth to riseth as birds in the m’rning.” Green circles with two lines in each one wrapped around her arm. “travelling lamp shines up the new day,” the circles took the shape of a big green arm with green particles leaking out. “Anon awaken from the catch but a wink of night!” Aze thrust her arm forward, followed by the green arm. The green arm goes through Fala’s physical body and wraps around, squeezing her heart.

“Jeebus!!” Fala shouted, jolting awake. “Ugh...” Fala rubbing her head, “What happened?” Looking around, she noticed the trail of blood. She followed the trail back to her arm where. “Oh, god. I’m bleeding. I’m bleeding!!!” She was about to pass out again.

Aze slapped the redhead. “Better?”

“No! You slapped me!! Why did you slap me!?” Fala started flipping out more.

Aze slapped her again, “Better?”

This stunned Fala for a second before she responded in a calm voice, “What are we talking about?”

“... So, was that a bitch slap?” Rue looked back at me. I was still doing something, maybe crying? I don’t know. “I’m talking to a crybaby... Hello!” Rue smacked the bucket, “Wait... Did annoying just say Jeebus? Pretty sure this isn’t a christian server. But what the fuck do I know! I’m basically a walking paradox... Space cloud.”

“Ok, stay calm and don’t look down. Everything is fine,” Aze said to Fala, examining her wound.

“But now I want to look down,” Fala said, looking down.

“Focus on me,” Aze pushed Fala her face back to face her.

Rue decided to be a complete asshole, “Look down, she’s lying. Panic. Everythings not alright! Panic!! The world is ending!! You’re bleeding out!!! You’re dying!!”

“I’m dying?!?!?!” Fala started panicking. “I’m bleeding?!”

“Fala! Falalalala!!” Aze sang.

“Don’t be distracted by the song. You’re going to die. Buy gold!!”

“I need gold!!” Fala shouted in fear.

Aze slapped her again, “You’re not making any sense! Take a deep breath.” Fala and Aze took a deep breath, “In for one two, three four. And out two, three four. Gasp! One two, three four. Out two, three four.” They did this five times before Fala calmed down.

“Do you feel better?” Aze asked.

“Y-yeah...” Fala said weakly. Her face was pale and lifeless. Her panicking and blood loss had worn her out.

“Are you hearing any voices?” Aze asked her.

“Say, Satan likes pancakes.”

“Say... Satan likes... pan... cakes?” Fala repeated what Rue had said.

“Good, good. Now I command thee to say, life is like a box of chocolate. It's sweet but deadly.”

“W-what’s... chocolate? Hehe, sounds... wear hares.” Fala raises her non-wounded arm and poke Aze’s nose, “Boop! Please eat shirts!! Weee!!”

“This is boring. Where’s the silvery boy or whatever it’s called.”

“Yeah, where’s Silver?” Aze replied to Rue. “Wait...” Aze looked around and murmured, "I swore I just heard some one."

“It’s just the wind. Wind. Wind.” Rue whispered into her ear.

“Huh, I guess it was just the wind,” Aze said, looking back at the orange-haired girl.

“Sissy looks... pancakes!!” Fala tugged at Aze’s long green hair.

Silver entered the room, “Well, it looks like I’m not needed right now.” Rue then evaporated.

Silver looked down at the blood all over the ground, “Gross.” He stepped over the blood, trying to not step in it.

“Will you hurry up! She’s not doing well!!” Aze said in a rushed tone but tamed enough to not alarm the loopy Fala.

“I know I’m going to end up having blood on me, but I want to avoid getting my shoes stained. They’re white.” Silver responded.

“Fuck your shoes! My little sister is dying!” Aze, now freaking out.

“Calm down. Calm down. You’re right.” Silver was now standing above them.

“Calm!! I am calm!! How are you calm!!” Aze screamed.

“Magic,” he responded. “I found this... really cool plant... that calms you down. You should try it... Here... I’ll get some.” Silver started getting back up.

“Focus!!”

“Oh, right.” Silver looked at Fala’s face. “She’s lost a lot of blood.”

“Captain Fucking Obvious, my hero... academia. Hero's com...ing all over.”

“Fix it!!” Aze cried.

“How?” Silver asked calmly.

“Your healing magic!!!!!”

“Oh, yeah. I forgot I could do... that.” Silver raised his hand and placed it over Fala’s bite mark. “Magic healing spell... Blah blah. Heal this wound or some shit. I forgot the chant.” Yellow and green light swirled around his arm. From afar, it looked like multiple giant yellow and green flowers wrapping around him. It then moved away from him like vines and wrapped around Fala’s wound. Fala’s skin grew back rapidly, along with muscle and bones. Within a few minutes, the hole disappeared, like it never existed.
