Runner's POV:
"Ok..the coast is clear."
I gesture for them to come out into the hallway as Chemist helps Sailor out of the tunnel. I don't hear anyone,which is good I guess..but..it feels too quiet.
Sailor:"Something wrong?"
"No..it just feels..odd."
I sigh, brushing my bangs away from my face. We just need to find the way out..if there is one. There's always an exit if there's an entrance..right?
???:"Hey Runner."
I looked towards the voice, surprised. I then sigh in relief when I see that it's just the Trickster. He looks like he's been crying..did something happen to Child?
"Hey Trickster..-"
Trickster:"Child's dead."
My heart stopped. I began shaking as I asked him how it happened.
Trickster:"He was murdered..by that monster. I just don't mean stabbing or something like that..it was just flat out awful and bloody."
He began crying, explaining how he went on a walk to find him and how he ran into Climber,who was looking for us,who told him about a body being found in a park. I'm not even going to go into the details of the poor kid's injuries because I couldn't even get through it without throwing up.
"That's..so horrible. I'm sorry Trickster.."
Trickster:"That's why.. I'm going to kill him."
Chemist:"That sounds..pretty fair. Just be careful about it..If he can do that to a kid..I don't want to even know what he does to adults."
He then walked off, leaving us alone in the dark.
Climber's POV:
"You seriously have to be more careful kid."
Dancer:"I am..and I'm 22."
"Still. When everything began 6 years ago..you were a kid. A kid that Should've not been dragged into this."
Dancer:"You shouldn't have either.."
"Yeah but.. I'm used to violence and the rush of doing something dangerous is a daily occurrence."
I then feel something..off. Like something is going to happen any minute now.
Dancer:"You ok?"
"Yeah.. just stay behind me ok?"
I was right. Because as soon as I turned a corner, something hit me in the gut, knocking the wind out of me and pulled me by my legs away from sight.
"Oh hell no."
In my state of position,I used my head to hit the person in the hand,making them let go and letting me get up and look at my attacker.
???:"You really don't give up do you?."
"That mask doesn't fool anyone. Everyone knows you by now..so what's the point of wearing that. Plus your fedora is a big giveaway."
Neturalist:"I'm not even going to waste my time talking to you. Just give up."
"Never. Bring it on."
I made the first move, kicking him in the well.. he's not going to have any kids after that kick. Doubling over in pain, he tried to stab me in the head with a glass shard,in which I moved fast enough just to take it in my arm.
"Ow..that hurt."
I pulled it out of my arm, letting blood drip down and staining the floor. I looked down at him, writhing in pain due to me kicking him. I felt like it was a trap and unfortunately..it was. He sprung up and tried to grab at me.
But I was too slow to dodge that attack.
He ended up grabbing me by my neck and shoving me up against a wall.
Neturalist:"Give up yet?"
"Nope.."
He responded by slamming my head against the wall over and over again. I couldn't breathe and my head was pounding so hard,I could barely move. My vision began to get foggy as he dropped me to the floor,my body hurting everywhere.
Neturalist:"I suggest you give up..or things will get worse."
"Go to hell."
He sighed angrily as I tried to get up,bruised and disoriented,to finish him off when the shard. I'm a reckless person,I admit. He responded by hitting me in the head again, knocking me to the floor and setting his foot on my back.
Neturalist:"Fine. I warned you."
He then grabbed a rock and hit me over the head with it.
Everything went black.
