Cory's POV
      It's been 3 days since we went hiking...It's been 3 days since 'Duni' attacked us...It's been 3 days since Uni has left his room..I haven't even heard him move. I've been forcing myself to sleep lightly so that I will wake up if I hear him open his door, or even move. That is if I even sleep at all... I haven't heard him leave his room to get food or water, and I haven't heard him walk around...I'm really worried. I occasionally sit down against his door, and when I do I usually hear soft sniffles. I know he's scarred mentally...I only wish he would open up to us. Everyone has gone up against his door to talk to him. He never answers back, but we know he can hear us. Even Tommy had forgiven him, and he had also apologized for hitting Uni over the head with a stick, but still no answer.

     Tommys' hand has been healing good. It had been a long and deep cut across his hand, but Tommy handled it well. Nick had wrapped his hand up firmly, and he told Tommy that it most likely didn't need stitches. That's good I suppose. I don't think I'll ever forget the horrified expression on Unis face when he'd seen the blood on his hands, and deep down inside...I know that somehow he knows what happened...and I feel terrible about that. Uni had never wanted to hurt anyone, and now he had seen the blood of his good friend on his hands. I can't even begin to imagine the guilt he's feeling right now...

      We have all, as a group, decided that what happened in the forest, wasn't Unis fault, and we had all forgiven him. Anger and fear, has now turned to worry and regret. We're all worried about Uni, and we all feel guilty about the way we had looked at Uni when he had gotten off the ground. Our gazes had been racked with fear, and I swear I saw Unis heart crack when he looked at us. He almost looked....broken, but the worst part is...He was already broken before.

      I walked out of my room towards the kitchen. As I passed Unis door I stopped. I stared at it sadly, and I listened closely to noise inside the room. I felt my heart ache when I heard a small, choked sob from inside the room. I sighed in defeat, and began walking forward again, my head down in defeat. I walked to the end of the hallway, and when I lifed my gaze from the floor, I jumped back as I saw Nick standing closely infront of me.

    His eyes were filled with sadness, and I knew he had seen me stop at Unis door. I saw Tommy sitting at the table behind Nick, his gaze filled with distant sadness aswell, but Tommys' emotional walls were high, and it was hard to tell what was in his gaze sometimes. Nick glanced at Unis door, then back at me,"Any luck?" He asked, trying to sound cheerful. I shook my head no, and he sighed sadly in response. "Let's just give him some time...Sometimes that's all people need." Nick responded, obviously trying to lift my spirits.

     Tommy got up from his chair and walked over to me. Be put his hand comfortingly on my shoulder, "Ok, here's a plan, because I can tell you want to get Uni outta that room, and frankly so do I...so, how 'bout this... Aahlie and Jon are already in the living room, so Nick and I can join them, and you can try to get Uni outta that room. And if you get him out, bring him to rhe living room so that he can talk to us....So that we can forgive him." Tommy suggested. I nodded slowly, "Sounds like a plan Tom, thanks." I said, smiling at him. He patted my shoulder before turning with Nick and walking towards the living room. "Good luck Carl!" He called. "Cory!" Was all I said before turning and walking to Unis door. I WILL get him out this time... I thought hopefully.

                            Uni's POV
         I was sitting in the corner of my room that's farthest away from the door. I haven't moved from that spot in 3 days, and I don't plan to ever move again. I think it'd be better for everyone if I just died here... I occasionally hear Cory stop outside my door, or sit outside my door and talk yo me, but I never answer back. Everyone has come to my door, apologizing, or begging me to come out or answer, but I never do... I don't deserve forgiveness. Not after what I did... I could've seriously hurt them...I did seriously hurt Tommy...

      More tears slipped down my face as I thought of the events of 3 days ago. I can't stop crying...The memories hurt to much. It's like agony to my mind. Agony that won't ever go away. There's no cure to this never-ending agony. I don't deserve a cure...I deserve to suffer... I cried harder, then I heard someone come towards my door.

      I heard someone walk to my door, then stop. I heard them lean against my door and slowly slide down until they were sitting on the other side of my door. "Hey Uni..." I heard Corys slightly muffled voice through the door. I stayed slient. "Uni please...I..We forgive you. We know what happened wasn't your fault..." He continued. "..." "Uni..please say something...I need to know you're okay. It hurts me so much to think about you in your room all alone...crying...starving... please...." He begged. I was suprised about how much he cared. No one should care... I thought bitterly.

     I stared at the door sadly, feeling tears running down my face as I thought about Cory on the other side of the door, begging me to come out. I heard Cory sigh sadly, "Listen Uni, I know you feel guilty. I know you're sitting in there wishing you were dead..." He said through the door, his voice full of grief, yet understanding. I was suprised about how well he had guessed. "Im right aren't I?" He questioned, but I gave no answer. "But listen Uni, I know you well enough to know that you don't want to be alone...so please Uni...Don't be alone, because you aren't alone...you're never alone Uni..Because you have me, and...I won't let you be alone..." Cory said though the door. His words filled my heart with happiness, something I hadn't felt in awhile. I slowly moved my stiff body, and crawled over to the door, and I leaned my back against the door. There Cory and I sat, back to back with a door between us, but I loved it.

      "Uni...Thank you for moving...but, still, please come out." He began, I leaned harder against the door. "Please come out...I want to see your adorable face, and your smile, and your eyes...I need those images in my head Uni, please show them to me." He said. I felt my heart jump, I can't believe he actually said that. I thought exitedly. Then I slowly stood up and opened the door.

                            Cory's POV
      I heard Uni stand up and I immediantly stood up and stood infront of the doir, then suddenly the door opened. The door opened to reveal a messy looking Uni. His hair was messy and puffy, his eyes looked dull yet exited, and tears stained his cheeks, still falling. But he was smiling. I quickly pulled him into a tight hug, and he hugged back immediately. "Uni...I missed you." I whispered quietly. "Im so sorry! I-I just didn't want face you guys, a-and you were right, I didn't want to be alone!" Uni said, his voice filled with emotion as he hugged back tighter. I smiled and pushed away from the hug, looking him in the eyes, "Come with me, please." I said, he looked at me confusedly, then followed hesitantly.

     He followed me to the living room, and we walked into the living room slowly to see everyone sitting there. Uni walked in hesitantly, and when his eyes landed on Tommys bandaged hand he stopped walking. He wasn't crying anymore, but he looked like he was about to start crying again. I quickly grabbed his arm comfortingly, and pulled him closer to me. He sat down on the ground infront of everyone and I sat down next to him. "H-Hi..." Uni stuttered awkwardly, not looking at anyone. "Uni!" Jon cheered happily, jumping off the couch and hugging Uni, and soon the others joined in hugging him.

      Everyone returned to their seats and they all looked at Uni. "We forgive you Uni, all of us do.... And we're sorry for how we acted in the woods, we were just scared and confused, please forgive us..." Tommy spoke up. Uni looked at everyone, smiling. Then suddenly his smile disappeared, "I don't deserve forgiveness..." he whispered, then looked back at us. "But I forgive you, and thank  you..." he whispered happily.

      "Now Uni, what exactly happened when we went hiking? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Nick queationed. Uni was silent for a moment before answering, "Well, I got a really bad headac-" Uni suddenly stopped talking and his eyes widened. "Uni?" I questioned, then Uni let out a agonized scream. He began screaming louder in pain and holding his head in agony. "Uni!?" I question fretfully, putting my habd on his back. "R-Run! I-It's happening again!" Uni stuttered, his voice glazed with pain. "Im not leaving you here!" I exclaimed. "P-Please..." Uni begged, his eyes closed tight in pain.

       I sat beside Uni as he screamed,then suddenly a red mist began to fill the room. It seemed to come from everywhere and got thicker every second, it seemed. As I breathed it in it burned my lungs and I began to cough. I heard the others coughing to and then it began to clear. My etes were still shut when I heard Jon gasp loudly. Then I heard clapping coming from the far corner of the room. I slowly opened my eyes to see a silhouette in to corner of the room. The silhouette had a red outline, and itnwas clapping, but I recognized the silhouette almost immediantly... Duni.
