Chances taken away Chapter ://U "windswept" my version

Looking up at the stars in the sky, "On that night under the staircase." taking a soft deep breath. "Our arms drifting do-own." moving his hands down from in front of him. "Your kiss made me a believer." wrapping his arms arm himself.

"Cleansed my sins somehow." closing his eyes, holding himself a little tighter. "I'll be what you need." a small smile upon his face. "I'll keep you inside my fortress." lifting his arms up and spreading them open in front of him. "Hand you the keys." holding his arms open to the stars above.

"Leave you to roam these halls." The clouds above stayed still for a moment. Shifting around before forming into ghostly beings. A large building came into view made of clouds, "But you tore down the keep." The cloud shot a lightning bolt across the sky with a soft rumble. "I returned to find ruins."

The beings and building colliding together with another lightning bolt webbing out before disappearing into the clouds. Thunder rumbling along as the clouds parted drifting apart. "You left all my love." A lone cloud being drifted around looking around "In the rubble with these walls."

Taking a deep breath as his hand reached down picking up a guitar placing it on his stomach. "But in my head." Strumming along the strings, the cloud grew slowly. "I am still there." The cloud being began building and shaping another large building,"I can still feel you."

The cloud being, stared at the building floating around it touching the sides every so often. "Breathing slow." tapping of leaf's nearby along with the melody, the wind began to pick up slightly. "I've known this dream for a long time."

Closing his eyes for a moment as the wind blew across his body, "In the air." Opening up his eyes seeing the cloud being lowering itself down onto the ground. "Suspended here."

His eyes widen picking himself up from the ground to stand, continued to strum the strings. "With thousands of words we've spoken." Each being a few feet apart, the cloud being taking a step forward. "Can I soar?" Each one slowly stepped towards each other, stopping only to stand infront close to each other.

 "Up through the clouds?" He looked at the cloud being and smiled softly as the moonlight shined down highlighting the ground around. "Leave all of this beh-h-h-i-i-ind?" The cloud being scooping him up as they both flew up into the air. His grip on his guitar slipped as he held onto it tightly shaking for a moment before laughing happily. Slowly opening up his arms flying through the air in the night sky. For a moment he was up in the air before reaching land once more.

Adjusting himself before strumming on the guitar once again. Clearing his throat softly smiled, "But in my head." The cloud being sitting themselves down upon the grass, listening. "I am still there." bowing some as the cloud tilted its head slightly.

He swayed slowly to the melody, "I can still feel you." the cloud being watching as it begins to sway with him. "Breathing slow." Strumming the strings softly "I've known this dream for a long time."

Closing his eyes, as bit of smoke came from him mouth. "All alone." blowing his smoke up into the clouds above. The cloud building became expanding "I feel your breath." thunder rumbles in the clouds "I hear your whispers."

The cloud being looking up at the clouds above."Dark like storms." his eyes opened staring softly at the cloud being. "Telling me, 'Dear, I'll never leave your mind' " He was silent for a moment.

"Greetings, I hope you've enjoyed the song so far, stay if you wish or stay you are free to do what you'd like." bowing his head slightly as the cloud being continued to sway. "Uh.. can you understand me?" He looked at the cloud being and tilted his head the opposite way it's head was.

"Well I guess you think this is part of the song.. my apologies" He smiled softly hopping from one foot to the other. as he continued strumming. stepping up like stairs moving upward towards the sky as the cloud being followed floating beside. "And you've been there all along." He smiled at the cloud being,

"Tugging me, pulling me down." something tugging him back as he stumbled for a moment looking back. Nothing was there confused he continued up the air-stairs. "Touching him, holding him close." Looking up at the cloud building, expanding across the sky.

The cloud being following him before moving up to it's cloud building. "You've made your home." More cloud beings floated close to the building entering in. "And I see your face through his eyes." Once the cloud being entered into the building it began fighting with the other cloud beings as they were destroying the inside. 

"With every move of your hips." Looking up at the building as the lighting bolts thundered through the sky. He stopped for a moment standing in the air looking up at the clouds. "You're breaking my bones." the cloud being was thrown out of the building and began dissolving some falling towards the ground. "While holding me hostage."

His eyes widened as he took off running across the sky. Catching the cloud being in his arms as he let go of the guitar as it fell towards the ground. Catching his breath for a moment taking a deep breath, his voice was soft. "Could I still love you?"

Looking over the cloud being slowly dissolving in his arms. "Though my arms are breaking?" His arms shook, the cloud being moved its head towards him as his voice was shaky but continued singing. "Could we still be alone?"

Pulling the cloud being close, closing his eyes as a tear began forming, "Do I still know you?" opening up his eyes seeing the cloud being shift their face as they smiled. "Are you still my answer?" He smiled back softly as a tears rolled down his cheeks, as the last bit of the cloud being dissolved before his eyes.

"To the question. I've asked since I was born?" Standing there looking at his empty arms. Moving his arms back top his sides stepping upward to the sky. His head leaned back looking at the clouds above seeing the building being torn apart as the sky cleared. Stepping upward as his pace quickened.

"S..STOP!" He yelled running upward to the clouds. His guitar broken in pieces along the ground, he continued towards the clouds. It wasn't long before the building was gone as the clouds dissolved leaving him standing high up in the sky staring up at the night sky. "Why?" was the only thing he could say before leaning back and falling back down to the ground with tears coating his eyes and cheeks.

A splash as he landed in the lake, letting himself slowly sink. his body soaked in seconds from the water. 'Why? everytime..' His arms slowly lifted up as he stared at his arms memories of those he has held in his arms began to flash before his eyes. Keeping his eyes open while sinking. His tears mixed with the water bubbles coming up to the surface of the water.

His head turned slightly before his vision began to blurr and everything slowly turned dark. A figure was swimming closer to him, 'This is it, I'm going to be eaten. ripped apart. I guess it's my turn to die too.' he thought to himself closing his eyes feeling light, everything that hurt slowly began to fade. The last bubble came from his lips, his body finally reached the bottom of the lake. His body laid motionless at the bottom.

Ships and sailboats

Turning on the screen as it started out as static, then to blur in images of a blue shaggy carpet with wiggling toe‘s with claws kneading into the carpet. “Is that your new camera?” A feminine voice came from the otherside of the kitchen, the camera turns upward, zooming in through the living room to the kitchen. A female mouse adjusting the focus turning towards her, [description] with piercing’s up her nose and ears her top visible as it was a tanktop with pink sparkling glitter all along the sides curling around making a design and a name. “Ha! it works.. Ya just got it in the mail.. Ha [mouse] you look so weird in this.” a males voice came from behind the camera. Lifting a coffee cup up to her lips as her other paw lifted up showing her middle finger to him, walking out from behind the kitchen counter showing her baggy pants on with no shoes.

Her tail swaying behind her as she walked her fur messed and bunched up in places showing that she had just woken up. “You look weird all the time..” The camera wobbles as the recorder walks over towards her, “Ya.. but I’m a good kind of weird right?” A smirk cracked along her muzzle as she pushed him away gently, “Only sometimes..” Cackling came from the door across from the kitchen another females voice as a lemur [description] herm came out of hir bedroom with a pair of his boxers on with a bulging death mushroom on the front and a game over on the back were hir tail came out at. “You‘re one of those that is some kind of weird [name of male]” The camera turned to the lemur as she walked over to [mouse] snatching the coffee cup from her paw and sipping it, before giving it back to her.

 “Hey! There is some still made in the kitchen [name of lemur] back off ma’ coffee!” [Name of lemur] snickered, “Well just wanted to make sure it was fresh..” Hir eyes soon looked toward [male] and tilted hir head slightly as shi had some excitement of hir own in the morning, “Please don‘t tell me your recording.” A mischievous smile crossed [mouse] face as she wrapped her arms around [Lemur]’s waist. “We wanted to surprise you with [males name] daily adventures and today you’re in the adventure!” [Lemur] shivered and covered hirself with hir paws and wiggled scooting across the floor away from the camera, “Turn that off!! I‘m not even dressed!! Jerks!” [mouse]’s grip would loosen but grabbed her cup of coffee and cradled it in her paws like a lover. “That‘s what ya get for messen with ma coffee!! [male‘s name] get hir!!”

 The camera bounced chasing around as [male, mouse] laughed while the camera bounced around the livingroom after [lemur] before chasing hir towards hir bedroom door slammed shut in front of the camera slightly bumping into it. [male] chuckled “aaahh! And thus the exotic bouncaroo has escaped the sight of the majestic and amazing” [mouse] shouted from the living room, “and late!” The camera turned to the clock on the wall before quickly bouncing around down the hallway to another bedroom, “Shit shit shit shit! Alright well [lemur, mouse] when everyone else wakes up can you two get a video of everyone for me?”

 A mumbling of agreement could be heard in the distance, as the camera was tilted pointing towards the bedroom door. [male] tail could be seen swaying back and forth out the corner of the screen while he dressed. Running out the doorway, “love you bye catch you later on!” the camera laid there recording. A distant voice’s could be heard almost in whispers, [lemur]“is he gone?” [mouse] “Ya he‘s gone..” [lemur] “he is weird and crazy you know?” [mouse] “ya.. But he‘s the sweetest and the best kind of weird” giggling from both of the females in the living room as it was silent for a moment as [lemur] walked in front of the doorway holding a coffee cup from the kitchen. “Ya he is.. I just feel bad for him though.. Ya know?” Silence fell for a while [mouse], “We have to tell him about us sometime..” [lemur]

 “I know.. I feel so horrible about this, it will break him to know..” [mouse]“Yeah, but sooner we tell him the better it will be it will hurt less.” [lemur] “Yeah.. Tonight, Tonight we got to tell him promise?” [mouse] the camera continued recording as the day went on, getting glimpses of everyone that lived in the household. Getting ready for work, playing around watching movies, then sitting down on the couch watching a movie [lemur and mouse] held each other cuddling.

The hour was growing late, as [lemur and mouse] stayed up in the living room both laying on the couch being in each others arms. Both still clothed waiting for [male] to get home from work [lemur] eyes were getting heavy drifting in and out of sleep before finally falling asleep behind [mouse] as shi was against the back of the couch. [Mouse] eyes stayed open thinking to herself as she wondered where he was, usually came home late but every time she looked at the clock upon the wall it was getting later and later in the night. He was never out for so long, usually coming home from work at a late hour then headed to bed.

 Her eyes were heavy, but her claws kept pinching and scratching against her arms to keep herself awake. The room went dark, for a moment to her shooting her eyes open as daybreak was shining through the window and into her eyes. Flinching a bit finding herself on the ground with a blanket covering her, lifting up from the ground noticing a blanket over [lemur] as well. Hir mouth wide open as shi snored loudly laying on hir back every once in a while saying random things about cupcakes, other treats. [Mouse] smiled before looking around seeing nothing else had been moved, but [male] door was wide open. Slowly crawling on all fours before standing up leaning her head into the room to see if he had gotten back yet.

The bed was a mess, [male] bedroom was in a wreck clothing and everything tossed around. Her eyes wide never seeing his room in such a state, but her eyes would widen even more as she noticed a stain that was found in different spots of his room. Walking over to each of the spots in disbelief before looking around the room frantically looking for him. “[males name repeated ]” she yelled out, “where are you?!” [Lemur] snorted then coughed falling off the couch rolling to the edge hitting the ground with a thud and humph. Hir eyes shot open before bouncing up to hir feet in a fighting stance with hir fists up to hir face. Hir eyes looked around, before seeing [mouse] tail swatting back and forth in [male] room.

 Walking over to her and leaned into through the doorway, “hey.. Whats going on?” Hir eyes widened seeing the mess of his room. “ooo [male] is going to be mad at you hun messing up his room like this.” [Mouse] turned around with a bloody shirt in tears, “[lemur]… [male] hurt.. his” her throat was getting choked up, “his room was.. Was like this when I woke up” her paws gripping his shirt close to her. [lemur] jaw dropped and began shouting out, “[male]!!!”  repeatedly running around to the bathroom and opening up all the doors shi could find. [Mouse] ran out of the room with his shirt close to her as she clung to it, grabbing her cellphone quickly calling his number.

 Tears forming in her eyes as she sniffled both in anger and in fear that he could be laying somewhere dead. [lemur] stormed into each of the rooms to wake everyone up shouting at everyone. “Wake up you lazy shits!! Emergency emergency get your asses to the living room now now now now now!!” Growling and throwing their pillows at hir, and some ran after hir in enraged for the wake up. Soon as each one grumpily reached to the living room seeing [mouse] holding a bloody shirt. Each one ran over to her, “are you okay?.. Wait isn‘t that [male‘s] shirt?” [mouse] could only look up at them in tears dialing and redialing his number each time going to voicemail.

 [male] voicemail said, “beep beep this is  [male] phone guess what? Yup that’s right I‘m not available right now I will get a hold of you soon though so leave your name number and a awesome message then when your done spin around jump on one leg and when your finished singing a song that will be epic and amazing! I will get back with you.. Muauahhahahhaa I‘ll know if you do it or not cause you know how? Cause.. I‘m behind you.” the message ended each time hearing the voicemail message she held the shirt to her body even closer. [Mouse] repeating to herself in a whisper, “pick up pick up pick up please pick up.”

 [Lemur] ran into the living room as everyone was scattered around looking for him repeating everywhere [lemur] had looked before they stood in the living room. “Has anyone heard anything from him?” almost like clock work everyone ran to their cell phones to look for any missed calls or texts. Walking to the living room, “Nothing.” each one replied almost in the same horrid tone getting a cold chill down their backs. “Has anyone called the hospitals?” [vixen] the silence said everything as [panther, vixen, raccoon] began looking in the phone book for the hospitals nearby.

 [Mouse] stayed on the couch still calling his phone obsessively clinging to his shirt like it was her own security blanket. [lemur, chinchilla, equine, jackrabbit, gryphon, cow, cerebus, bear, beaver, otter] ran out the door to search anywhere nearby incase he was still close. Calling all the hospitals they could find none had his name down as a patient in the ER, or was emitted into urgent care. The night was falling soon as they still heard nothing from him, running around everywhere they could looking for him in every street or alley way they could find. [mouse] calling his cell phone listening to his voice in his voicemail, soon only getting his voicemail meaning his phone was dead. She only moved to his room and curled up in his bedding having as much of his things that held his scent on them around her on the bed making a cocoon with his things.

 Only her ears peeked out of being buried in his things. Walking through the door each one had their heads hung low, each time the door opened up [mouse] jumped out of the bed and out of the room standing there with her cellphone grasped in her paws. Each time they would look up at her shaking their heads, it had been hours almost a full day they had been looking. Gathering in the kitchen at the table staring down at the table a quiet sip from cups and placing them back down onto the table was the only thing heard. [Mouse] each time disappointed and walked back into his room squeezing herself back into the pile listening to his voice and whispering to herself as if he could hear her. “I‘m sorry please come back, I‘m sorry please come back.”

 Silent tears were being shed, before [raccoon] spoke up a lump in [] throat, “Wh-why didn’t he wake us up?“ [cerebus left head] “why do you think?! He knows we all have job‘s and things to do” slamming their fists on the table. [cerebus right head] “He always looks out for every one of us.. Always saying he doesn‘t want to be a bother.” each one began an uproar yelling and cursing at the other as if one of them were to blame for this to happen. Each one standing up while yelling and pointing at one another, [cerebus center head] spoke out with a yell at first “SHUT UP!” very rarely [cerebus center head] talked out in a loud voice, she looked at everyone even the other two were surprised and went silent.

 Tears were slowly coming down her face ”I’m.. I’m sorry..“ Her head lowered slightly ”Wha-what.. Do you think happened..” Silence fell quickly each one sitting back down in their seats getting views of what could have happened a mix of sadness and rage brewing in their stomach‘s. [Gryphon] stood up walking to the fridge and began taking out some items to make something to eat. [Raccoon] glanced over at [Gryphon], ”What are you doing?” She gestured to the time, “H-he wouldn‘t want us to go on a empty stomach..” [bear, beaver] stood up and began helping with making some food for them, everyone wanted to argue with it, but at the same time were hungry from going almost all day without something to eat.

 [mouse] stayed in his room, [lemur] stood up and slowly walked over to his bedroom doorway glancing around as a cold chill went up hir spine making hir sick in the stomach. Even slower making hir way into his bedroom noticing the camera on the floor. Shi crouched down picking it up seeing it had a dead battery looking around for the charger. [Mouse’s] ear twitched hearing someone near, she stayed in the cocoon lifting her paw up moving a part of the blanket watching [lemur]. [Lemur] plugged in the camera before turning it on as it charged rewinding it hoping to see what happened if the camera caught him on video.

 The camera started showing [mouse and lemur] on the couch sleeping [mouse] rolled off the couch and humped curling up to the couch, [lemur] had tears in his eyes as shi watched.  His figure walked over to the couch holding his stomach and chest, he stood there watching them sleep. Limping his body to the bedroom his body out of focus as he held something against his body. Limping to his closet near the doorway taking two blanket’s and made his way back to them. Covering them up with the blanket’s then making his way back to the bedroom he almost fell but held himself up by the door way panting heavily.

 [Lemur‘s] eyes were falling with tears as shi seen him look directly into the camera with a soft smile. Reaching for the camera as both him and the camera fell to the floor laying on his stomach he curled up tears running down his face. He tilted his head up at the camera blood was in his mouth and all over his clothing “Hey.. Guys…” His eyes looked up then back down at the camera, “I‘m sorry…if I have ever done anything to wrong you guys..” panting as he slowly began taking off his shirt grabbing another off the bed wrapping it around his chest, his breaths were getting quick but he was trying to slow them down, pushing himself up off the ground.

 “If I don‘t make it.. I love you guys.. All of you..” [Mouse] jumped from the cocoon and grabbed the camera from [Lemur] that was crying heavily. [Mouse] yelling at the camera at his image, “I‘m sorry I‘m sorry!!” Hearing the yelling, his voice everyone stopped what they were doing and ran into his bedroom looking at the camera trying to push everyone out of the way to see him. “Guys.. I dunno if I did something right finally or really stupid” he looked down at the camera, “I‘m sorry guys… please if I don‘t make it.. Take care of each other.. I love you all more than you know.”

 his eyes looked deep into the lens at them all, “This is [male‘s name] and I want you all to be happy.. And yes… I” the video caught out [mouse] shook the camera yelling at it before rewinding it and re-watched it just to see him everyone watched. Cold chills ran all through their bodies [lemur] stayed on the floor crying with hir paws over hir face. That night they all stayed in his room sleeping on the floor, on his bed sticking close to his bed. [mouse] stayed up rewinding the camera as it was plugged in to keep a charge, watching at the beginning when he first turned on the camera and was recording to the end. Fast forwarding it through the day only wanting to see him and hear his voice. It was 4:21am when the phone rang in the living room, it was to the second ring before [mouse] jumped up and ran to it picking up the phone.

 “[MALE!?]” she quickly yelled out hoping, a females voice came over the receiver. “I‘m sorry, this is [hospital] so this is [males last name] residence?” [mouse] cried heavily, “Oh god.. You found him!? How is he?! Where is this?!” [cow] ear twitched and looked around before seeing [mouse] on the phone crying. Quickly jumping off the bed as she stepped on a few of the others to get out of the room. They were waking up a few at a time before running into the living room quickly bumping into everything to get out of the room. “Is he okay?! Is that him? Where is he?” they began bombarding [mouse] on the phone as the other on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment as she could hear the others asking questions.

 “He is in urgent care right now this is [hospital] our address is [address to hospital] I‘m sorry for calling so late, but he gave us a big scare but for now he is stable. Visitor hours are in about two more hours if you would like to come in and see him he may be awake by then.” [Mouse] quickly wrote down the address, as soon as she was writing the address [beaver and otter] both bolted to the computers to get the location of the hospital. Printing out the directions, as [equine, jackrabbit and chinchilla] ran changing their clothing and grabbing their keys for their vehicles.

 [mouse] sniffling holding her face wiping her tears and listened to the lady on the other side of the phone. “Okay thank you, thank you, thank you so much.. Be there as soon as possible.” lady upon the other side of the phone, “Alright if you plan on coming early you will have to wait in the waiting room the guard will let you in at the doors. His room number right now is 213A” [mouse] wrote down his room number putting it into her pocket. “Thank you..” the phone hung up as she turned her head her lips quivering, “He.. He is stable, and in the urgent care..” [otter and beaver] both announced, “the hospital isn't close by it's actually clear across the city if we go we can get there in a few minutes” bunching together as each one grabbed their keys to the house, then headed out the door locking it behind them.

 Once one vehicle was filled the other would be stuffed both having either [otter or beaver] inside giving the directions. Their tires squealed as both vehicles were speeding against the clock they had two hours to get there. Arriving at the hospital at the same time, they stood at the vehicles looking at the hospital nervous as to see what kind of condition he was in. But slowly they walked into the hospital, being directed to the waiting room as some sat watching tv trying to get their mind off what was happening. Others paced back and forth unable to sit still for long. [Mouse and Lemur] stood by the doorway looking out in the hallway watching everyone coming in and out moving around the hallways. The beeps and buzzers sounding making each of their ears perk up and stare at the doorway.

 [Lemur and Mouse] staying by the door, their eyes pealed out staring at each person passing by the waiting room. As time went on soon it was time that visitors could come visit the patients. It was time everyone stormed out of the waiting room crowding the hallway, making their way down the hall. Coming to his room the curtain close over his window, but when they opened up the door. [male] laid quietly on the hospital bed oxygen was being fed into his muzzle, as a iv was in his arm giving him medicine and keeping his body hydrated. Two light white blankets covered his body, as he laid there resting. A [] nurse was inside his room checking his vitals, and his iv intake.

 Turning around as [nurse] looked towards the group, “Hello, seem's like he's going to be the popular type please only three visitors at a time…” In his bed by his side a [] child was with him her arm over his stomach half her body was under the blankets covering both their body‘s. She had a hospital gown on as well with a iv in her arm as well. Her fur was short, with some of her fur shaved having bandages here and there. She clung to his side sleeping along with him, her eyes looked to be wet slightly from her tears. [Mouse, Lemur, Cerebus] slowly walked inside as they others stood at the door way staring at him, and the little one holding onto him.

 [Grpyhon, bear, cow] walked off steamed with rage as they paced back and forth in the waiting room. Soon the rest followed along sitting in the chairs, watching tv, tried to keep calm. [Mouse] stood by his side before sitting down in the chair pulling it close to his bed. [Cerebus] stood on the opposite side, [lemur] stood behind [mouse] hir paw touching her shoulder. [mouse] turned to lemur with her lip quivering holding hir paw on her shoulder. “How did this happen?.. How is he? Who is that?” [lemur] asked the nurse, the nurse turning finishing up his readings. “They both came in together.. He was carrying her at the time when they arrived he didn't get to tell us they both looked pretty rough.. She recovered quickly and a hour ago then she disappeared from her room and finally she was found here with him…” The nurse looked to the three, “are they related perhaps? She hasn‘t said anything about what happened.. It was a while before we could get his vitals stable… he had lost a lot of blood but he seems to be doing much better now.”

[male] walked through the door being both held and half carried, [otter] holding the door open for everybody. [male] looked around at the house and chuckled very softly, "The place looks like a mess" he jokingly said being carried and held up taking him to the living room very carefully onto the couch. "You guy's have a party?" Everyone slightly smiled hearing a joke from him but looked more serious and worried as he began coughing. Soon slowly lowering him down to the couch as he let out a tired and exhausted breath. His eyes closing slowly before popping open looking around, "hey.. guys.. i'm fine. i'll be fine" looking at their faces seeing their worry. A smile was upon his face while looking at everyone, "I'm a little tired.. I guess I'll rest here.. for a bit ha ha" his laugh was forced as his eyes closed falling asleep almost immediately.


[
Chuckling lightly, “Alright, come on guys come on. I want to get at least one shot of everybody together..” a mumbling of annoyance could be heard in the background as the group would wonder together getting closer.

Hellava's a place

 A pair of green, blue overalls covered a broad frame of a body as a tie dye hoodie was being held under the overalls by the straps. The arm sleeves of the hoodie inside the front pocket of the hoodie as two thick brown boots stepped upon the brimstone of hell's badlands far from the city of hell. The hood filled with darkness showing no face or eyes being full but empty at the same time. 

Making it's way to the city day turning to a dark night as the city started to come into view stepping over a mountain top stopping for a moment staring down at the city. Stepping close to the edge looking down at how far down it went. Hopping off the ledge sliding, rolling down kicking up dirt and dust all along the way.

 At the bottom laying on it's front with it's sleeves still inside the pocket in the front of the hoodie. Pulling its arms from the pocket helping itself up dusting off the dirt and dust from it's overalls. A few rocks being spat out of the hood with a shutter.

A puff of dust came out of the hood, looking around seeing nobody at the outskirts of the city. After dusting off the clothing placed it's arm sleeves back into the hoodie pocket. Walking into the city as a body was halfway in a dumpster blood and guts were handing out of the body. Stopping next to the dumpster as the hood tilted to the side some staring at the body for a moment. 

The streetlight flickered for a moment as they headed down the alleyway away from the dumpster as the dumpster was closed fully as the mess of the body, blood was cleaned up. Walking out the other side of the alleyway near a store showing televisions playing with news of an upcoming extermination. Stopping in front of the store and watched the news, commercials.

 A commercial for an agency saying they will kill anyone for the right amount of money. The hood tilted some, watching as another commercial came on talking about a hotel to help sinners, more commercials showed.

After the commercials it turned to a show, walking away heading down the sidewalk having no interest in the show. A feminine spider limped pass coming out of a nearby alleyway passing them looking as if they had no idea where they were or how to move their body. The hood tilted to the side watching them while walking down the sidewalk, they could barely keep their legs under them.

Walking a bit faster to catch up with them before watching them fall onto the ground legs shaking and arms curling up against their body. Stepping next to them watching them shake violently, they crouched down and with sleeves outstretched scooping them up in their arms.

"Don't fucking-fuck touch me. I didn't ask for your help. you ain't getting a fe-ebie either you fua." The spiders eyes having trouble focusing trying to stared into the dark hood before their eyes glazed over rolling into the back of their head. Arms closing close to their body shivering as the drugs in their system was soon effecting them.

Still holding onto them cradling them in their arms. The spiders body was beaten bruised, coughing as a bit of blood came out trailing down side of their mouth. The smell of their body decaying filled with multiple types of drugs either someone wished a hard existence or death for the spider.

The hood shifted to the left and right looking to find a place to put them. Soon glancing back at the television thinking of the commercial's a moment ago. Carried the spider in their arms looking for the hotel, the mouth of the spider opened up with a weak faint voice. "Hh-ee-" The bottom lip quivered their eyes overflowing with tears before the light faded out of their eyes.

 The hood looked down at them soon moving over the face of the spider shadows began slowly coming out of the spiders mouth, nose. The spider shuttered and shook as the shadows were being pulled from it's body. It took an hour before making it close to the hotel it was late as a deep voice came from behind. The hood still over the spiders face taking shadows from the body.

"Hey you! What the fuck you doing to him?" A feline with wings had landed on the sidewalk growling and glaring at them. Seeing that Angel Dust was in their arms shadows of darkness being drained from their body, Husk eyes narrowed filled with rage.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU SICK FUCK?! Whatever your doing to him you better get ready for an ass beating! " The hood lifted from over the face of Angel Dust, showing he was beaten bleeding from the lip and bruised along the body. Angel Dust although laid quietly resting as their chest rose and fell slowly. The spiders body curled up and moved against their chest gripping onto the hoodie with two of their hands.

Husk's words were met with silence, the hood stared at Husk before tilting to the side some. "What? You stupid or something?" Hearing Husk before recognizing him from the commercial, walking towards him without hesitation lifting Angel Dust up some offering his body to Husk.

 Only to stop in front of him holding out Angel Dust to him, Husk raised a brow taken back some confused, before taking Angel dust quickly and grunted a bit. "For being puny.. you are heavy." Husk stared at Angel Dust checking to see if he was okay, although beaten and bruised he was breathing slow his body was worn and tired sleeping heavily.

 Husk look back up towards where the other was but they were gone. Husk covered himself and Angel Dust with his wings looked around holding onto Angel Dust closely. "What have you got yourself mixed in with this time kid?" Husk shifted Angel dust to his back before making his way to the hotel cautiously watching around him in case of a another attack.

"You got some explaining to do when you wake up.." There was a moment of silence before Husk glanced to him whispering.

 "You better wake up." A hood leaned out from behind a corner of an alleyway watching the two, before walking away going in a different direction. The arm sleeves slid back into the pocket as they continued walking around the town through the night watching the activities of the residents of the city.

Arriving at the hotel Husk walked through the doors with Angel Dust on his back, Charlie was pacing back and forth in front of her board with red strings in every direction center of the billboard was a picture of Adam. 

Vaggie was out in the city looking for Angel Dust, it had been a few days since he had been seen or heard from. Sir. Pentious in his airship with his egg-boi minions searching for Angel Dust being worried about him, by the command of Charlie and Vaggie. Alastor sitting on the couch drinking tea while watching Charlie a smile across his face seemingly enjoying the display. Alastor looked over at Husk walking in with Angel Dust on his back.

"My good man I believe you have a bit of a hump on your back." He cackled some before getting up from the couch, Charlie scratching her face out of frustration looked over as her eyes began to water. "..An-Angel? what what happened?!" She asked while rushing over to Husk wanting to touch or help.

Noticing how Angel looked she began to shake with a bit of fear, but more angry as she wanted to hold or touch Angel but didn't know where she could help. "What happened? Where was he? Is he going to be okay? What happened?!" 

Husk continued his way to the stairs, Alastor placed fingertips on Charlies back, nudging her with his smile seemed to widen more. "Shouldn't you bring in the Calvary? he is home now. Once everyone is back. Wouldn't it be a good idea to hear what happened?" 

Charlie stayed near Angel Dust before turning around and pressing her face into Alastors chest crying. Alastor looked slightly surprised before his smile widened wrapping his arms around her, but before he could Charlie pulled back and walked away taking out her phone.

 "You-your right.. he's home." calling Vaggie and Sir. Pentious telling them to return to the hotel Angel Dust has been found. Husk carried Angel up to his room once in his room, Husk looked around noticing a pig.

 "Alright move over dinner slice." Husk was careful placing Angel Dust into his bed, looking down at him sleeping soundly. "Wake up for us kid.. You're home." Husk stayed in the room for a moment longer as the pig cuddled up against Angel, before glowing it's eyes at Husk protecting Angels body.

 "Hey I'm not the one that did that.. but make sure he waked up." *Charlie stepped close to the doorway and stared inside at Angel and Husk.* 

"Please tell me he will be okay.. right? Tell me who did this.." *Charlie shook clenching her hands into fists her eyes flashed a bit red trying to stay calm but slowly losing her senses, before going back to normal as Sir. Pentious and Vaggie looked into the room.

 "We got back asss fasss-." Alastor stood in the doorway interrupting Pentious opening up his arms before gesturing down stairs.

"Well isn't this a warm family get together when your ready Husker tell us what you know." Walking back downstairs as the others would soon follow. Sir Pentious told two of the egg-boi's to stand guard at the doorway and not to let anyone other than them into the room.

Two of the egg-boi's saluted Sir. Pentious and stood on either side of the door inside of the room. "NO!.. out here." Stumbling out of the room and back to the hallway standing on either side of the door the egg-boi's saluting before looking at each other as everyone left.

Vaggie closed the door behind them, as everyone headed down to the ground floor of the hotel. Husk cleaned up his wings and shoulder from Angels blood and drool. "Something's got to be done with this."

( about the upcoming extermination day standing at a board trying to figure out who had done such a thing to Angel, although she couldn't help but have her number one target being Angels boss one of the Ves Valentino. Although Husk placed a drawn picture of the hoodie wearing stranger right next to Valentino. Vaggie)

 The morning was coming as the light was shining across the tops of the buildings. 

Angel woke up groggy, but feeling refreshed without a hangover. Rubbing his head some unsure how he got back to his bedroom. A demon pig was cuddled up against Angel's side, Angel petting the head of the pig trying to remember how he got home, remembering what he had taken the night before. "How did I get back?" 

Lifting up the pig and smiled softly feeling better than he ever had. "Those must have been some of the best drug's I've had." He smiled brightly, before placing the pig back down as it wiggled around and trotted around on his bed. "Maybe, I could get some more if I feel like this!"

Thinking to himself it wasn't anything different than he had before. "Maybe.. I'm just getting used to this way of living." *chuckling softly before getting out of bed. Walking to the bathroom as he began singing, mean while as Angel Dust sang Charlie was crying and shaking with anger and fear of losing her friend.

  (took a shower then getting dressed it was a day off.) For some reason he felt happier than he had been in a long while, but his body was still sore from the work he put it through. Making his way down stairs with a bit of strut laying down on the couch with his phone in one of his hands. 

Niffty jumping out from under the cushion of the couch stabbing at a crawling bug with a knife in one hand and in the other hand a duster.

"AH! HAHA!" Laughing manically, held her knife with pride in the air on the tip of her knife a piece of leg of a bug.

 "Come back here! Hold still! Let me get the rest of you!" Her eye burning with flame narrowing down towards a bug that was missing a leg scurried along the floor. Angel glanced over and smiled "Got one huh? Good job, Niffty."

Slowly moving the knife away from him as he stood up from the couch. "Well look whose awake.. You wanna explain. What happened to you last night?" Husk asked, as Charlie runs over to Angel.

 "I'm so glad you're okay!" *Her eyes were watery crying some as Angel Dust looked unharmed his bruises were almost healed. Angel raised his brow confused, Niffty blinked staring at Angel Dust.* "You found yourself a big bad boy... I wanna big bad boy!"

Niffty jumping up and grabbing Angel Dusts shirt shaking him slightly. "Huh? I'm fine. What do you talking about?" Angel Dust tried pushing Niffty off as she still had the knife in her hand with the big leg wiggling around slapping him in the face. Vaggie pulled Niffty off of Angel Dust before she squirmed around in her grip and jumped down to the ground.

Husk cleaned a mug, with a confused look upon his face as well. "I found you in rough shape in the arms of someone.. Figured they were the ones that messed you up so much. They took off once they handed you over.." The front door opened as Vaggie yawned walking tired having a stick in her hair looking overly tired before walking over looking at Angel then to everyone else pulling the stick from her hair.

 "Ah, so your awa- hey wait what happened to your injuries? What happened to your injuries?" Angel blinked looking at himself before shrugging.* "What is everyone talking about? I feel just fine. I can take care of myself remember." Trying to remember but everything was a blur, Husk leaned against the bar counter after putting away the mug.

A loud squeal along with a explosion as Cherry bomb came running into the hotel through the hole in the wall. "HAHA! Sup bitches!" Looking at Angel Dust as her eye lite up with a wide smile, turning on the tv. "You got to see this fucking shit! It's absolutely fucking crazy!" 

She giggled some moving away from the television, the news was showing before showing a video sent to them through mysterious ways. The video was from an old camcorder, the picture was fuzzy before focusing in. A small chalkboard showed as words began going across the board with a piece of chalk.*

'Greetings!' In the background there was muffled sounds and angry thrashing as a golden chain could be seen in the background rattling back and forth wildly. 'I have a question. Are you tired? Hungry? So drugged up you forgot your name? Well do I have a deal for you... but first.'

The words disappear as the camera pans over to the golden chain as 42 angels all struggles around on the ground, in the air  mostly unharmed. Trapped, gagged & bound as their wings were all bound by the chain's, some were hanging by their wings in the air. The camera panned over back over to the chalk board

'Now that I have your attention everyone.' Words began showing once more from the chalk board* 'As you can see I am someone that keep's their word. Now let the games begin, every 3, yes 3 days one angel will be either killed'

'Or let loose depending on how we are feeling at the time. We found theses darlings during the last extermination. they seemed to like it down here soooo much to come back again and again killing us for sport, well why not just let them stay here longer.' The chalk upon the board dissolved into the board.

'Alright so what does this mean to you? You might be asking yourself. Why should I care? What's going to happen to an angel? Where are you? Can I jump in on this? and much much more, the answer.' The chalk stopped and waved no to the camera.

 'You're getting ahead of us so please wait until after the video for any questions you may have.' The chalk dissolved into the chalk board as the words continued back at the top 'Now let's get down to business. first come first serve. The first one to find us will get 1, count it again 1 deal for absolutely free, but anyone else afterwards. You guessed it will cost you your soul until we see fit to release you from any deals you wish to have.'

'Got a boss? Coworker? Spouse? You want gone. Donezo. Want the contract you have to be over? poof say no more. Anything your heart desires? Please come and let's make a deal. Want to go to heaven?' The chalk dissolved as the chalk began writing once more leaving the last line

 "Want to go to heaven?" 'It's as easy as 1  2  3.' The chalk sat down on the bottom of the chalkboard, the camera panned back over to the 42 angels all bound. 

One of the chains that tied up an angel was pulled by the chain dragging it out of camera view. The angel was struggling violently muffled screaming out of camera view. Screams continued as pieces of body parts were thrown at the other angels. The camera rocked a bit the other angels were turning their heads as some tried to hide behind other angels wings to not see. They were still clothed with armor, their weapons were nowhere to be seen.

It was loud with screams before everything went silent a few second went by before the camera panned back over to the chalkboard splattered with spots of angel blood slowly leaking down and dripping off the board. 'Come find us heaven and hell, or we may just come find you.' Small hearts soon were drawn on the chalkboard with angel blood with a stick. 'Until next time.'

The camera was turned off as the video was done. The news cast was sitting in their chairs staring at the camera. "As everyone knows the last extermination was almost two days ago, and this is the only video received at this."

 "Meaning the next video should be coming to us soon. And if it is then what the fuck are you going at ending contracts there's no way that can be done are you crazy?!" 

"and hopefully we will find out more about this group and what do they really want, who and where they are." 

"What this reporter is wondering is. How are the overlords of hell dealing with this new demon?" 

"Claiming to be able to end contracts. Could we be seeing the start of a new demon overlord in hell?" 

"This and more so keep it tuned in to 666 news for the only updates to this bizarre story."

The television was turned off as Cherry bomb was at the bar counter rummaging through the alcohol. All the overlords were watching the television, some pacing back and forth in thought. "It could be anyone, multiple demons could be one of the overlords playing tricks, going up to heaven easy? HA! As if." 

Vox at his set up going through the video over and over again trying to match up the background to any other surveillance or video he could find. "End contracts?! What are you serious?! This is priceless!" Laughter came with a lump in his throat. "I'll find you as easy as one two three."

"Maybe a four and five but I'll find you. Try and hide from me?! I am everywhere! What a fucking stupid catchphrase eck kinda."

"Kinda catchy."

"Fuck you you piece of hoax shit! Now I'm going to get it stuck in my head!" A small digital number appeared at a monitor out of his view. A Four and Five was the only numbers that appeared.

All across the hellscape the same words were being murmured. "End contracts? Go to Heaven?"

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.

Am I?

 Heart: Oh, wow this one is amazing! So sweet and kind..

Brain: No they are all sweet and kind at first we been through this.

Heart: But.. this one could be different.

Brain: They will all be different, but the outcome is always the same.

Heart: Yeah I know, but can't we try?

Brain: No! Not now.. maybe later but now we need to focus on healing for the both of us...

*Brain replacing the bandages around the heart gently and carefully. Looking at heart with saddness in the eyes.*

Heart: Hey.. don't look at me like that, I don't look that bad. You should worry about yourself.. You look like shit.

*Heart some of its parts were missing, laying in a bed in roughed up shape. Brain chuckled some having a few cuts and bruises with a few bandages.*

Brain: Yeah, well we both have our own battles we fight.. One day I'll win mine, and that will be the day you will be able to win yours too.

Heart: Really? You think I could win, get better?

Brain: Yes I do, we will win one day and both of us will get better.

Heart tried sitting up, but brain gently pushed them back down.

Brain: No.. No don't, just lay down rest.. I'll take over for a while just rest. It's your turn to rest now and get better.

Heart: But, but I need to show them all that I care I love them all!

Brain: STOP DON'T! Rest please rest.. You need to rest!

*Heart struggled for a while before laying down passing out. Brain watched over the heart tearing up a bit.*

Brain: That's right.. Rest, I'll do my best to let them know, how amazing you are.. We just need to be more careful, I-i just don't know how much longer you will last..

*Tears falling on the ground as Brain stood near the bed, before slowly walking away to let the heart sleep. Brain soon at the controls of the heart and shook with a hesitant hand.*

Brain: I.. I can do this, for both of us..

*Holding onto the controls, as Brain continued on becoming injured and hurt. As time went on, Heart laid there sleeping, while Brain and other parts of the body began to help. Brain kept their post at the controls only allowing the others to have a small part. Once they began hurting as well Brain took over for them and let them rest.*

Brain: We have to keep going..

Brain:

Daddy lullaby

"Baby girl time for bed.." looking around the corner to see his baby girl all ready for bed "Heh Aww that's a good girl" her puffy cheeks refusing to lay down.
"Oh not tired ... Alright come on" laying down in bed outstretching his arm to pull her close. Clearing his throat for a moment and adjusting his body to get comfortable as well as his baby girl.
🎶Shhh rest your weary head my dear Shhh listen to the sounds of the ocean Shhh have no fear Shhh daddy is right here🎶 he began to sing softly to her running his fingers through her hair.

Poem of inner

We enter the room together
The look you give me is unclear
Is this love or crush
My mind is blank when your near
Far apart are we in this life
My heart beat's without your love, light, guidance
Do you want to stay or shall we part
My mind can't bare what it does
It juggle's and run's nonstop
Inside my world is crumbling divided amongst the war between the two
My mind my heart both hurt from what they do

Away miles, hours, days, months is where I am
My heart and mind numb lay wasted upon the ground
Can't move can't feel myself
What is this feeling I can't feel
Numbness but I still feel?
Why is this happening when can it stop
where will it stop
deep down it goes the emptiness the unfeeling
can we be alright are we still in love
Was this just a crush perhaps we will never know
Neither of us are backing down
We walk the path along side to each other
But will we make it all the way through?

Distance of bubbles

Looking through the glass bubble around himself watching those walking around. Everyone could see the bubble, as it reflected their own bodies and movements. Sitting there inside the bubble a few would come up and stare at themselves in the reflection. He smiled softly his face turned red of embarrassment lifting his hand up giving a slow wave. Soon as they got near, something would happen and they'd walk away rejoining others.

Day's and time goes by as he watched them all from a distance, at night when they were all gone. He sat alone looking up at the sky seeing the millions of lights in the dark. As time goes by his eyes would close sleeping inside his bubble, only to open them when he felt the light of the sun against his face. Standing up inside the bubble stretching and walking around in circles to keep himself moving.

His eyes looking up following those that had routines in the morning. Soon he seen a small child was sitting near his bubble, his focus when to them. Their back was to him looking like they were fiddling with something, leaning his head over trying to see but the bubble stopped his movement to see only getting a glimpse of something in their hand. He was curious but soon sat down watching the little child later the child placed the object down and ran off after they were called to join their parents.

 He watched the child then the object they had, it was a small device of some kind. He tilted his head wondering what it was, but his attention would go back to the others watching them in their day. It had been years, watching them all from a distance his need or want to join them was close to nonexistent anymore.

Some days the closest one of them would come to him would be to sit nearby only inches away even fewer actually reached out touching the bubble. His hand would met theirs as if to say 'i'm here' The touch only lasted moments before they would leave. His hand still feeling the hand on the other side before it drifted away. Each time it happened tears ran down his face before backing up into the center of the bubble feeling his fingers that touched the bubble.

One night as the streets were clear nobody could be seen or heard for miles. He stood in the middle of the bubble tears falling with rage throwing his body against the bubble pushing. Throwing his fists about trying to break free, Nothing seemed to work as the hour was floating by but what he didn't notice was the bubble was moving with each slam of his fist.

Panting as he yelled out a cry, jumping up and slamming his fist down into the bubble. It moved and began tumbling him around as the bubble rolled down the hill, and into the street. He cried as he could felt each landing of the bubble against the cold cement and object that crashed into the bubble as it rolled. Tumbling and rolling him around like a pinball down the street's grade.

He cried out for help but all could be heard was the roar of the bubble ball rampaging down the street smacking into vehicle's, pole's. It felt like eternity before the bubble was stopped laying upon the ground. Touching his body that was sore and beaten, slowly lifting his head he could see the sun rising in the horizon a sight he normally wasn't awake for. He stayed there watching the sun rise tears rolling down his face.

The sun looked so far away, but it was the same day after day. Laying there in tears, he soon seen something he hadn't before. Another but this one was in the sun crying in tears. Slowly shifting around so he was onto his feet standing there limping to one side. He began yelling as loud as he could waving his arms about, but it wasn't enough.

The other was still crying, a tear soaked smile creeped up onto his face as he flailed his arms about yelling as loud as he could. Someone like him he thought they would know his pain if only he could get them to notice him somehow some way.

The other soon laid down curling up in a ball, yelling out as loud as he could as much as he could but nothing seemed to work. Tears slowly rolling down his face again his pain coming back of not being noticed or heard from anyone.

But now he had someone else that knew the pain, he suffered another that he only wanted to be seen. As he moved around the ball began moving around shaking him from where he stopped. He fell to the side as the ball moved to the side as well and then back to where he was slightly stuck to. 

"He.."

 "Heh" Looking up at the sun then back down at the ball kicking himself up into the air and kicking the side of the ball as it rolled he stumbled almost tripping. He bite his tongue like a hamster in a wheel, he ran as fast as he could and soon after the ball was out of the place he was stuck. Rolling down street after street glancing up at the sun still trying to get their attention.

"HEY!!" He yelled out no more tears no more crying he told himself using his body to move this barrier this prison.

Waving his arms about trying to get their attention. He wasn't familiar with anything around him but it seemed his bubble or prison was only making people run away from it. Soon blocks from police began being made to block him in to try and stop it. 

"Noo I need to get out I need to move.. " he yelled coming to a street with a large barrier built up as he frowned crashing into the barrier and finally stopped he fell to the ground hitting the bottom of it 

"Nooo..."

"I.."

"I was so close..." he cried looking up at the sun seeing the one in the sun was watching him looking right at him. He jumped up quickly to his feet and waved frantically. Looking surprised she lifted her hand up slowly giving a wave herself back to him as they both smiled.

Cranes came to the large sphere hauling it back to it's place. The humans trying to figure out how it got free then began making changes, putting the sphere back in place with more restrains in place. Sitting at the bottom of the sphere looking up at the girl in the sun with a smile. He rubbed the back of his head he was a bit beat up from the tumble and event that just took place. 

Looking up at her as she looked at him, "Hi!" he said excitedly but she didn't say anything. Sitting in silence as both seemed to try and speak to be heard but neither could hear the other.

Days would go by both would seem to try to communicate with each other making existing feel like an adventure than a tragedy. Night's were just as fun having found the man in the moon communicating with him as well it was enjoyable and fun. 

Sometimes the sun and moon were together in the day time although when they were together. He was a bit out of place as their attentions were to each other talking laughing throughout the day. Watching as he was getting jealous of the two, they could talk laugh joke. He was only there to watch.

All around him were humans at arms length sometimes passing him by not even paying any attention to his existence. The days seemed to go by quicker now as the sun and moon continued talking laughing joking around.

 Sitting there watching them both wondering what their voices sounded like, what they talk about. That night he stood up and went back to doing what he would usually do before finding the sun and moon. Jogging in place and stretching out some in his own bubble. Looking over at the trees as they bend and sway in the wind.

Blinking some as he thought he seen something for a moment as he leaned over to the edge of the sphere trying to see what it was. "What was that?" He said aloud wondering if he was seeing things. Looking at the sphere he was in. 

"I don't want to go rolling again."

"That hurt ha." Looking around for a moment as his thoughts went deeper soon falling asleep. His body tossing and turning he was used to the loud noises of the city not noticing that his sphere was being moved.

A crane in the daylight was moving him out of the spot he was in then placed onto the back of a truck. "Hmm?" 

"Whats."

"Going on?" He yawned waking up to the rumbling of his sphere. As he opened his eyes everything was moving.

"AH! WHAT?! I'M ROLLING!! I DIDN'T DO IT THIS TIME I SWEAR!" The sphere came to a stop, as he looked round seeing that the sphere was strapped onto a flatbed truck and was being moved to a different location. 

"What.."

"whats going on here? Where am I going?" 

The truck continued out of the city, "Where am I going?" He kept asking coming out of the city, seeing the trees and mountains that were far from the city.

"What is this place?" He asked in awe, at the beauty of the view he was being given by the truck. Standing up as the sphere edge and placed his face against it wanting to see everything he could. 

"Wow" He was in shock of the amazing things, objects. Laughing while having his face glued to the side of the sphere. 

The different kinds of birds that flew by, "Whoa! hey! You're a huge pigeon! ha ha! Your a funny looking pigeon!" Looking at all the different kinds of birds, then other animals at night when the truck stopped for the night.

"Hey little guys."

"Shh quiet good night to you hey do you know where I am?" He asked but didn't usually get an answer from any of the animals.

"Okay thanks for your help.." He said as the animals wondered away. 

"Wow just wow."

"This is so cool!" it was quiet as he could hear himself and all the little noises. "HELLO!!!" If he yelled out loud he heard his own echo, having read about it when people would read around him. He had learned about so many things how to read and spell when schools had their classes outside.

Laughing and enjoying this time he had it was amazing looking up at the moon as he tried speaking with him. Although it didn't seem like he wanted to talk the man in the moon has his back turned to him. 

"Oh.. okay well don't worry about it. I'll see you later okay? I'm getting tired so I'm going to take a quick nap." Waking up in the morning to the truck driving on the road again, "Heh.. wow this is awesome.. I wonder if this is what my life is going to be like now? Seeing new things." He said to himself looking up at the sun waving at her.

She wasn't looking over towards him, "she probably can't see me i'm not.." Jumping up to his feet waving around. "I'm here!!! Hey i'm here!! OVER HERE!" Jumping and waving, but to no avail not even a side glance.

"No.. i'm.. i'm over here.. see me notice me.. please?" Sitting back down slowly as he lifted his knees up to his chest holding them to him. "I'm alone again.. she can't see me.. hear me neither of them can."

Staying seated watching the scenery move as he slowly laid down. It was useless to resist there was nothing he could do now. Staring at the scenery he would smile some his views of what he could see was amazing. Everything was so new and he was enjoying it even though he was by himself.

"New place.. wherever I'm going.. new me. I have to keep it up and go on. I'm alone again but come on we've always been alone right?" Talking to himself looking at the reflection in the passing car windows. There was a huge boulder that had details and textures all around it from what he could see.
