Blaza leaned against the fence of his military base, staring into the woods nearby as he waited for Nadwe.
Ever since Muffin had disappeared, Nadwe would come by around this time to ask about him. He wished more then anything he could give a good answer, but he didn't know anything about where the kid was.
"Why are we out here again?" Socks squeaked in his ear, climbing up to Blazas shoulder. "I'm waiting on Nadwe. You should probably stay hidden, you know you're supposed to be dead." Blaza half-joked. "Fine." SocksForSmoll huffed, inching back behind Blazas hood. Just in time too, Blaza could see Nadwe jogging up.
"Have you seen Muffin?" He asked as soon as he was in earshot. The mixture of worry and desperation on his face broke Blazas heart. He shook his head. "No." He answered solemnly. Nadwe sighed, staring behind him as if Muffin would come running out of the woods any second.
Blaza felt something on his neck, and froze as Socks climbed back up to his shoulder. He quickly tried to grab him off, but Socks had already gotten Nadwes attention. "Nadwe? There's something you should know." He squeaked.
"Is it about Muffin?" Nadwe asked, not even thinking about questioning anything else.
Socks sighed. "I was trapped in Laffs house for... I don't even know how long. A little after I was trapped I heard Laff and Muffin come in... all I heard was Laff saying Muffin had vampirism and then a scream, then Laff came over and told me not to tell anyone..." Socks voice was shaky, this was clearly a tough subject for him.
Both Blaza and Nadwe stared at Socks, stunned.
"M-Muffins dead...?" Nadwe mumbled, shaken. "I don't know anything for sure, but... I'm sorry. I-I wish I had been able to do something..." Socks squeaked sadly. The child looked at his feet. At first he'd wanted to blame Socks, but then he remembered Muffin had helped him escape in the first place. He wouldn't have done it without a good reason. If Muffin had trusted him, even a little, so would he.
"I'm... I'm gonna go home." He mumbled, jogging off without another word. Surely Muffin wasn't dead... he couldn't be...
