(Steven)
There was a huge explosion to my right, and I slowly stopped my running. Turning to look at the explosion, I saw a bright purple color off towards the back of the house. Oh no, I was too late. They came into contact. Spinning on my heel, I ran back to (y/n) and the two girls, anting, "(Y/n)....there isn't any time.....You have to go through the pond, now!" She stared at me as if I was stupid, saying, No way. I'm not going anywhere without Masky by my side for once! "(Y/n)," I growled, "this reality's about to collapse in on itself! You need to get out of here now, or there will be no chance of you ever seeing Masky again!"

And what about you Nightmare League? she said, narrowing her eyes at me, What about you guys, all of you? Won't you collapse with the reality? I looked down and chuckled, saying, "I'm sure there's more than one reality in it, (Y/n). You, GO! NOW! You need to get to the pond quickly! I'll stay with the girls! Hoodie, go with her! She'll need someone to watch her back." Hoodie nodded, grabbing (Y/n) by the arm and dragging her in the direction of the pond, ignoring her shouts of denial.

I turned to Sally and Lazari, seeing their faces filled with fear. "Sir, what's gonna happen to us?" they both asked me at the same time, their smal little faces petrified with terror. I shrugged and crouched down to their height, saying, "I don't know yet." The girl (Y/n) brought with her stared down at me, saying, "Can I go with her? I have nothing left here." Staring back at her, I make a short nod, and she runs off in the direction (Y/n) and Hoodie went. I watch her go off, feeling my chest fill with dread. I knew all too well that I wasn't going to survive this mess. None of us were, if the reality tore.

(You)
You growl at Hoodie and yank your hand away, shouting, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU"RE DOING?!? He growled back at you, muttering, "I'm saving your ass, (Y/N). So don't you dare think of going to find Masky. For all you know, he's already dead!" Why did you even stay at the mansion?!? you hiss, feeling your anger rise a bit. Reaching into your pocket and grasping the knife Hoodie gave you, you continue, Why didn't you just stay with him?!? I know very well that he means the most to you in this world! "I stayed because I had to," he muttered, growling louder. "I mean think about it. If I didn't stay, Steven would have taken you away and no one would have been able to get you back! I knew that the war would start, but I stayed here, ruined my greatest friendsip, and destroyed a reality all so you could get back to Masky!" You stare at him with a shocked expression, not bothering to question how he knew that. It didn't matter to you right now.

He grabbed you hand again, pulling you along the faliliar section of the mansion and past the huge, bright, jagged strip of purplle light. In the center of it, you could see pitch black. A black hole? A vortex? You didn't have time to figure it out, because Hoodie dragged you past it and towards the familiar area of the pond. But as you got there, you didn't see it's normal shimmering. Leaning over the edge, you saw something that horrified you. It was entirely empty. "C'mon," Hoodie said, annoyed, "Just go alrea-" He stopped mid sentence, seeing what you saw. The empty pit.

You stepped into it and sat down, letting out a sigh. Your (h/c) hair fell in front of your face, and you pull your black hoodie up over your head. You couldn't believe what was happening. lossening your grip on the knife, you let it fall to the ground. How? How did this happen?!? Hoodie leans down and pats your shoulder, saying quietly, "I'm so sorry about this, (Y/n)." You growl at him and pick up the knife, aiming it at his neck. YOU BASTARD, you yelled, knowing it wasn't exactly right to take your anger out on him when it wasn't his fault, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Spitting out word after word of venemous words, Hoodie justs watches you with a look of amusement. "You won't kill me," he said, smiling at you, "And you know that too. I'm not telling you to give up and let everything happen; I'm not telling you that everything's going to end good." You let your arms go limp, whimpering. The purple lighting seemed to grow brighter, and you look up to see that the hole had grown bigger. It seemed to be swallowing the world around it. As Hoodie continues, his mouth still in a smile, he just stops. His smile quickly goes away, replaced with a look of shock as he clutched his stomach. Looking at his hands, you see the tip of a knife sticking out between his fingers, a small pool of blood leaking down his hoodie.

You stare at it, feeling shocked beyond belief. What the hell was that about? Glancing behind Hoodie, you see Masky standing there, his hand clenching the handle to the knife. He didn't seem to notice you; he wasn't paying you a single bit of attention. "Why did you leave your master, Hoodie?" Masky asked him, pushing the knife deeper through Hoodie. You watch in horror, watching a small stream of blood trickle out of Hoodie's mouth. "Why did you let that god damned Steven take my (Y/n) away?!?" Hoodie stayed silent, giving you a look to keep quiet. MASKY, you yelled, NO DON'T DO IT! STOP!

"Only the people in the Nightmare League can understand you," he whispered, coughing up a bit more blood, "It's Steven's spell, after all." With a violent jerk, Masky pulled the knife out of Hoodie, letting him fall to the ground with a thud. His wild eyes travel to you, noticing you for the first time. He laughs wickedly, saying, "Well if it isn't a tiny little Nightmare!"
