Chapter 24: Tick Tock

Ethan's POV

I flinched at the sound of the voice. I knew who it was but I wanted to know how. How could they turn a boy with no traumatizing past into a virus?

I quickly picked Sk3tch up and dodged a green coded tendril that hit the spot that I was kneeling at. I moved quickly to the door but I was slammed back into the wall. I gasped in pain since that body I was in was fragile. 

I pair of hands wrapped around my throat and started to strangle us. I hissed lightly as I tried to preserve our air and get Sub off.

I managed to pull away. I looked at Sub and my eyes widened.

I could see that he was in pain. His body was dirty and marked with cuts and scars. He was twitching slightly from the pain. The tendrils attached to his back were covered in his own blood.

I slowly got up and dodged the tendril attacks. I saw the guy who trapped me run into the room. I tackled him, Sk3tch still in my arms, and locked the door. 

I panted lightly as Sk3tch quickly got up and dragged us away from the door. When we got far enough, I could hear Sub bang his fists against the door. I bit my lip as I held back the urge to open the door and let him out. I closed my ears and curled up. 

I stayed in this position as my hope slowly started to disappear into pure guilt.

~In the thought room~

_SetoSorcerer_ has joined

I opened my eyes and looked at Seto as he looked down on me. I couldn't read what emotion he had but I didn't care. He could kill me if he wanted, Sub's gone.

I hid my face and refused to look up.

Seto sighed lightly as he kneeled down and hugged me.

"It'll be alright, you'll get him back," he hummed calmingly.

I hugged back and shook my head.

"How? He's a virus. Viruses kill Glitches," I murmured quietly.

Seto sighed and pulled away with a light smile.

"We can make a spell," he said with a big smile.

I tilted my head and let Seto whisper what the spell was in my ear. When I knew what the spell was, I pushed Seto away and stood up.

"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! THE SPELL WILL KILL YOU WITH NO RESPAWN!" I yelled at him as I pinned him down.

Seto only smiled.

"I know but I want to help you," he said cheerfully.

Sky's POV

I quickly walked snuck into a chamber that I have not seen before.

I quietly looked around and flinched when I saw wires. 

Without a word, I grabbed the wire and closed my eyes. The wire twitched and wrapped around my wrist.

It cut itself off the roof and slowly slithered down the hall like a snake. I followed behind it as it leads me to a covered cage. I opened my eyes and watched the white covers as the lightly moved.

I grab the sheet and I quickly pull it off.

~Extra~

???'s POV

I quietly followed the path of destroyed machines. 

I was following the creator of this place. 

I remember seeing him once but at the same time, I didn't. I sighed quietly as I pulled an arrow out of my quiver. I placed the arrow on my bow and slightly pulled on the bowstring, preparing to shoot at anything.

I walked into the testing room. Inside, the creator was there. 

I pulled the string back more and pointed it at the creator. Quietly, I watched as I pointed my arrow at his head.
