Part 7: Why did the murderer cross the road?

Pj POV
  I woke up early on Sunday. Grey was already texting Coco. I don't think he went to sleep. Ma was already awake. I don't think she slept either. Error was still sleeping.
Penny was with him.
I sat by ma. She could barely keep her head up.
"Ma?"
She jumped up.
"Oh, hi sweetheart. What's up?" She asked.
I shrugged.
"Can I go for a walk?"
She thought, sighed, and said to take Penny. Grey went with me as well, of course he invited Coco.
While they kept talking I tuned them out, looking straight ahead and at the sidewalk. Bluescreen met up with us to so I wasn't completely bored.
After a few minutes Gradient grabbed me by the shoulder and pointed to the opposite side of the street.
I looked. Horror waving at us with an axe. Penny growled.
He started running towards us. All four of us ran. Penny tried to attack him but we were able to drag her with us.
When we were far enough away we all stopped.
"Who...who was that?" Coco asked, panting.
Bluescreen just looked petrified.
I looked at Gradient.
"Don't do it." I said. "Grey, dont fucking do it."
"Horror. He wants to kill us." He said.
"Damn it Grey!"
"Why!?" Bluescreen questioned.
"We don't know." I said. "And we weren't supposed to tell you."
Gradient glared at me.
"Well we had to tell somebody! And you're to scared to tell mama!" He argued.
"Because It'd be like we're under house arrest!" I said.
He put his hood over his head and started walking away. Penny barked as he got further.
Coco hesitated but fallowed him.
I was so angry. Not at him but, at this entire situation. I kicked a trash can.
"I'm going home. Count me out on these walks." Bluescreen said.
He walked away.

Ink POV
When my babies got back from their walk Error was just waking up. He kissed me and started on breakfast.
"Inky did you sleep last night?" He asked.
"Uh... my eyes closed for about two minutes." I replied.
He sighed.before he could say anything else there was a knock on the door. I took out my switch blade and went to answer it.
Error stopped me, took the blade, put it in a cabinet he knew I couldn't reach, and went to get the door.
  I grabbed my babies and them protectively. Penny stood by me.
  "Inky, calm down I'm sure it's nobody dangerous." Error said.
  And he was partially right. It was my brother.
  "Hi uncle Zephyr." Pj said, getting out of my grip and walking to him.
  Gradient stayed by me. As a matter of fact he kept a tight grip on my jacket.
  He barely let me go. My phone buzzed.
  "Why did the murderer cross the road?" The text said.
  What?
  "Who is this?" I texted, gesturing for Error to come look.
  They sent back a picture of a bloodied axe and a severed arm.
  "To get a present for a friend. :)"
  Error threw up. I was just afraid. Is that what they wanna do to my babies?
  I will fucking kill whoever it is! I examined the picture. Nothing I recognize.
  An hour later I'd almost forgotten about it and  had put on a movie for everyone. Then my phone buzzed again.
  "Knock knock." It said.
  Two knocks at the door. I decided to play along.
  "Who's there?" I texted.
  "The present."
  I was confused. I carefully opened the door. A box. I opened it. A severed arm.
  "...gross." I said out loud.
  Error saw, screamed, and threw up again. Zephyr kept the kids away from it.
  I burned the 'present' on the roof and sent a picture to the number.
  "Oooo you'll regret that." It texted back.
