Chapter 16: The disease
Epius's P.O.V. (The enderman who tried to kill Will with a dagger)
Right now I'm walking around the castle bored. Actually, there's something to be glad about, which is the fact I got away with no injuries whatsoever. "I don't know why she'd even bother helping him." I mumble under my breath. Soon I come across a certain door which is only almost closed and I feel in my gut as if there's something I should check out, and my gut is never wrong. Taking it slow and stealthily as a more smart option I peak through the small gap and see what I did not expect to see... It's Will and the Queen locking lips! At first I almost gasp but I cover my mouth before the noise could be heard. Is this why she keeps him around?! I tiptoe away from the almost closed door desperately hoping not to be heard. Eventually I tiptoe away for a long enough distance for me to be walking at a normal pace. "What to do? What to do?" Is what I ask myself.
Will's P.O.V.
I pull away but suddenly feel my vision blur with a slight tint of purple along with pink. It's so odd and I can't put my finger on it. "Will? Are you okay?" Caroline asks noticing there's something wrong with my expression. "No, no. There's nothing wrong." Is how I answer her question but she's not gullible enough to believe it. "Tell me what's wrong." Caroline asks me sternly. I really don't want to lie to her any further, a sigh escapes my lips and I look to the ground in defeat. "Ok... It's... I think there's something wrong with my eyesight. Everything's blurry." I tell her leaving out the information of the fact my vision has a pink and purple tint. At least the tint isn't strong and it's not too blurry so I can make out certain things. "What? How can your vision suddenly just get blurry like that?" Caroline asks me in a confused tone. She does have a point, how does my eyesight just get blurry like this? There has to be something to it, but at the same time, I think maybe I'm overreacting though I'm probably thinking logically about this situation.
"Walk a straight line." Caroline orders me and I do as she says. I get up and go to walk a straight line. Caution grows as I put my arms out in front of me to feel if I'm going to bump into anything. "You're stumbling." Caroline tells from behind and she's right, I'm walking in a stumbling manner and feel my hands touch the door, what I forgotten is this door opens by pushing from inside of the room and pulling from outside of the room. "Ah!" I Yelp as I fall down from the door swinging open from me pushing on it. Unfortunately, I faceplant on the hard floor causing me to hold my face and groan in pain. A pair of hands grab me by the arms and pull me up from the hard ground with my face still sore from the crash landing. "You're so silly. There are dragons and endermen around but a faceplant is too painful for you?" Caroline chuckles as she grabs my hand and leads me somewhere of which I presume to be my room. "Dragons?!" Is what I reply out loud but I remember seeing that black and purple dragon a long time ago so I calm down but by only a little bit.
A door clicks which means Caroline has unlocked it with her key. She pulls me in and sits me on the bed. "Do you feel hungry? Do you need anything?" Caroline asks me in a voice as if she was asking a child this. "No." I simply answer with just one word. "O-ok!" Caroline says taking one step away but stops and though it's blurry, I can still make out her head looking at the door to exit this room but she also looks back at me. Her head is now looking back and forth at a fast pace till she comes to me and sits by me. It seems she just doesn't want to leave my side. "Do you feel any pain?" She asks me and I don't feel anything unpleasant which I appreciate. "Good, good..." Caroline says in a shaky and worried tone. I realize how much I depend on Caroline and the others for protection. Sure, I've always known I depend on them so I can live but they even have to drag me out of my room just so I can get out. I barely even leave this castle and I'm starting to think I'll never see the sun again. "Will, you look sad." Caroline states still in a tone which sounds as if she's talking to a child.
"Nevermind. It'll just pass." I tell her back but she doesn't seem to want to do that. "Tell me, please." She asks while holding my hand but I put away. Just as I pull it away I suddenly cough and Caroline gets up. "I'll get you some water!" She yells while running out of the room to get me some water like this is some huge issue. It only makes me feel more weak and helpless. My vision than clears up. "About time." I tell myself but feel a tingling sensation in my face a d palms. I see there's some bkack crack-like lines forming on my wrists to my confusion. My head looks in the direction of the mirror and the markings are also forming from my year ducts and traveling down to my cheeks suddenly disappear as if they were never there to begin with. Just when I think things couldn't get any more strange I suddenly cough once again. As I cough I put my arm over my mouth. I take my arm away but oddly enough, I see there's a small black splat on my arm of where I coughed on... It looks like ink.
