when?

Coughing tring to breath sweat and blood slowly dripping from the temples of his head. Vision blurred before slowly standing back up limbs shredded and scared. 

"And what have we learned?" A voice called out nearby.

"But.. What if there is a cha-" a sharp pain smashed into his side tossing him back like a ragdoll. 

The figure stomping calmly towards his ragdoll body laying on the ground twitching in pain his eyes filled with tears. "But.. I." 

His stomach and chest being kicked repeatedly bones snapping like twigs. His mouth jarred open in a unaudioable cry of pain. 

"There is no but! Time and time again.. this is the end I am putting a stop to it now!" The figure growled in fury, the body before the figure weakened and frail laying upon the ground. His eyes opened up slowly looking up at the figure the feeling of his body was nothing but pain. 'Why is it so bad?.. We've been good doing good things trying to be the good guy the nice guy. Why? Why does it always turn up like this?' 

His body felt as if it were nothing more than dirt. If he closed his eyes he wondered would he stay here or if perhaps he'll finally leave this existence. Vision faded as his eyes close. His body jolting side to side as body parts were being mangled and broken.

A faint voice could be heard in his head, "get up"

"No more please... I can't move let me let go please."

"Get up!" More voices began calling out to him getting louder and louder each voice was different. "GET UP!"

"I CANT MOVE I CANT FEEL ANYTHING I CANT DO IT!" He yelled out in his head to the voices. "GET UP! GET UP!" the voices became louder and more unruly. 

His finger twitched as it slowly pushed a piece of dirt. His body torn and battered his eyes tearing out blood. The beatings had stopped for the moment.  There was no sound other than the voices calling out to him. Every so often his body jolted and twitched. His hand gripping the ground and began pulling, pushing him up to his feet. Standing up as his body wanted to collapse upon the ground one last time. "Why.." he stood there for a moment shaking and beaten. 

"Wanting another round huh? Fine by me what a pathetic little worm you are. Disappointing and disgusting." The figure slamming his body down upon the ground before tossing it as if he was nothing into the forest. Falling down and colliding with each tree it felt like shattering his body even more. The figure uprooted trees boulders and anything else around only to use it to beat him. Tossing what was left of each item. The figure scoffed, "What a waste of effort.. Go crawl back to where you belong."

The figure kicked the ground as a hole appeared nearby the figure used a stick and pushed him into the hole surrounded by darkness as his body collapsed upon the bottom of the hole. The figure looked down scoffing once more, "worm.." the hole filling up leaving him at the bottom. "I'm sorry." Was the last thing that was heard although it did not pass his lips but only thought of it.The figure left walking away annoyed and disgusted wiping off their hands with a rag.

Laying barely able to keep his thoughts together "Where did I go?.. What am I doing?. find them.. where did everyone go? what day is it? is it night? why is a can of tuna canned? The hole above closed as he was surrounded by darkness, "Did I do wrong again? Is this punishment for existing?" a single tear began to stream from his eyes. "I always do wrong? even when I am doing good. Doing the right thing is what we're suppose to do." Laying there feeling broken from head to toe, "I'm a disappointment, I'm sorry everyone.. I'm not a hero. I never was, no matter how hard I tried. I don't want to be the bad guy, the villain... Nobody likes the villain we never get the girl.. our plans of a better life always ruined. Peace will never be for us." In his head a video played showing different breath taking views from different points in time and places. "Beauty isn't for us.." Lastly a hole with him inside and what was around him. "I guess this is where I am huh?" Staring at himself through his mind, "We are a sad excuse for a man, we can't fight back. Why? why can't we fight back? I don't understand." He shook in rage with himself, the pain growing as he shook. "A.. aaahh ow ow.. why why can't we fight back? we don't want to hurt anyone, its the only thing we know how to do is hurt someone, but we don't... why?" Clenching his fist and smacked it down against the floor, only to spin around as his eyes opened up quickly. He spun around laying on nothing but floating in the space of nothing looking around at the darkness. "....I think I'mma be sick.. how do I stop?" He mumbled with swollen face and mouth. Took a breath and used his other hand to try and smack it down to try and go the other way or slow down. His body jolted as he opened his mouth wide as it popped his back, "Ah.. a..aa." Gasping some in pain with a soft whimper, "Rage.. angry.. mad.. we need to get mad.. how.. can we get mad?" He slowly reached his arms out balancing some making the spinning slow down.
"We need any drink?" He asked himself glad to not be on the ground, as it helped his body being levitating in the nothingness. "This is nice, its dark but the pain seems to be going away finally." If he could smile he would as he continued floating in the nothing. "No more pain?" He asked himself feeling like he could think straight finally. "Are we dead?"

"No, just floating around in the abyss."
"Oh.. Okay" there was silence for a moment before his head slowly turned opening up his eyes. "Wait.. Who?" A long eared creature with silver eyes, and dark colored fur with teal and neon green spots randomly on their body. Wearing a jade kilt with two straps around its waist and arms, stood there over him rotating around him as he was still slowly spinning around in a circle. "You're a hard one to find I hope you know that. But don't worry I'm here now, names Rei you look like shit by the way and no your not dead." Staring at Rei, "... I was hoping." "Yeah, but your very much alive right now.. Alright, so hold still and lets see what I can do." Rei lifted up a paw placing the palm on his chest lightly as they both stopped upside down. "Alright, you're stopped. Now, I can look at you better." Rei chuckled while examining the body. "Yup, your kind of hurt. Did you know that?" Rei nodded walking around him.

"Oh, thank goodness.. I thought. I was just having one of those man-o-paws moments." Rei narrowed his eyes staring at him for a moment before smirking, "Ooooha-h, someone's got the jokes." Floating in the air unable to move, "Ha, of course. If I'm going to die.. I'm going to die with a smile no-matter, how I go." Rei raised his brow some, "Well, I like ya, so let's get you up to fluff." Holding out his paw on his chest it was cold for a moment. "A..ah.. I see how it is, make me cold and then going to give me that heat huh?" Coughing some, as his body tensed up shaking. "Oh, I'll be giving you all that hotness. Your jokes are getting a little lame.. could be from the pain or.. your just a one trick pony." Rei chuckled slightly as the coldness grew throughout his body. "Ooo.. Ooo If I get any colder I'm going to be rock hard for you big boy." Rei burst out laughing, "Ha, Oh baby keep talking dirty to me." His eyes started to close, with his body getting colder and colder. The color was slowly leaving his body. Rei shook him some with his paw on his chest. "Hey.. it hasn't even been eight second yet.. come o-" Rei words sounded funny muffled as silence started to fill his ears. 'Oh.. Hey.. I guess. I am going to die huh?' A moment went as his eyes were closed. 'All the pain, is gone.' His fingertips twitched slightly 'I don't understand..'

"Sorry.. I'll die better next time." Rei narrowed his eyes at him once more standing over him, "There is none of that." Staring at Rei, "No?" Rei shook his head folding his ears slightly. "Nope, so come on." Rei turned walking down to the floor "Is it cause I'm weak?" Rei stood, back up on the ground. Dusting himself off, "Weak? who? You? ha.. how are you we-" "I KEEP DYING!.. I keep dying every time no matter what I do it's never good enough. I always die! I haven't felt my heart beat in years unless I'm having a heart attack or... or when a heart murmur happens!" Rei was silent for a moment thinking of what to say. Not expecting what was being said, "Heart murmur? Heart attack?" Rei asked confused. His body started to moved around slightly coughing, shaking taking a step forward slowly walking in the air. "Yes, from what I have been told a heart attack is when the heart tries to stop. A heart murmur is when the heart goes out of sync of its beats and both can and will stop fully.. Then you die!" Rei followed beside neither were actually going any where. "You're body is attacking itself? You have been dying?"

Rei watched him moving around, "How? How can you say your weak when you've come back from the dead multiple times! That sounds li-" His arm lifted up covering Rei's mouth. "You're Rei right?" Rei blinked a bit surprised but nodded. "Okay, you seem very nice but you can leave.. I don't want to be a burden you any longer." "but I just found you? How could I just leave now?" "Easy, everyone else does. But if you want to continue being around then" Walking down onto the ground heading into the foggy abyss, Rei followed behind quickly. "Hey you don't just get to walk away from me.. How are you doing this?!" Rei stared in awe watching the body jolt around slowly getting the hang of how to walk again.
