Chapter 38: What did you do?
<Sorry for making you all wait so long. I would blame my new scheduled (start one thing and then finish it before starting a new one) but that would be untrue and unfair, so truth is I've just been lazy. But I'll now hopefully be getting back on track, so let's hope there won't be longer then a weeks wait on these! Enjoy everyone!>
"Does anyone know what's going on with Cleo?" Asked Mumbo, concerned eyes focused on the zombie.
All eyes turned to the zombie who was blankly staring down on the ground with wide eyes. Stress walked up to him, at first shaking him before waving a hand in his face. When neither worked he resorted to walking up and getting all up and Doc's face. "Luv! What are you looking at?"
"Ho-how is this happening?" Wheezes Cleo, shakily looking up at Stress. "How are there two of you?"
"What? Cleo what are you babbling on about?" Asked the ice queen, hands keeping a steady grip on the gingers arms as to hopefully steady her.
Cleo shakily pointed at the ground. "You're laying there, completely motionless! All of you! Even I'm there!"
The rest of the group looked down, but they all only saw black. Well all except the fading people.
"Your right!" Cried Tango. "Look! I'm right there-" he pointed at a spot where no one saw anything except black (like the rest of the room), but the demon apparently saw something, "-leaning against a stone brick wall!"
Doc hummed in agreement, looking at his own crumpled body.
"You're all crazy-there's nothing there!" Said Martyn, making a point to walk all over where Tango was pointing. "See? Nothing there!"
"You just walked all over me!" Pouted Tango, though he sobered up and walked up to his unconscious body himself and tried to touch it. "Though you're not wrong. I can see my body, but not touch it.
"How's that possible?" Wondered Iskall, looking around to see if he himself could see anything. "And why can only you three see it?"
"Because they're waking up!" Realized Xisuma, smacking his palm against his covered forehead. "Of course! They're seeing the place we're currently in, outside of this room."
"Now that you mention it, what is this room even?" Wondered False touching the black walls.
"A place within our minds." Said EX, as if that was just a normal thing that you just said everyday. "What? It's the only logical place for us to be."
"Can you elaborate?" Asked Zedaph. "Not that I don't understand completely what you mean, noooo, I just think our friends would like to know too."
The red clad semi-hermit rolled his eyes. "They have knocked us out, trapping us within our minds, and are now showing us memories in our heads."
"Oh yeah that makes sense." Muttered Zedaph, nodding along minimally.
"This is great!" Said Ren gleefully. At everyone's confused looks he explained. "It means that they aren't going to die. Plus, maybe they can wake us up afterwards?"
"I doubt they could wake us up, but good mindset Ren." Praised X.
Silence reigned after that, everyone wanting to enjoy the few moments of silence they'd get before they reached day 5 of the memories.
"What will you do once you're out of here?" Asked Ren, laying his head on Doc's shoulder.
The creeper was silent for a few moments, lost to his mind. "I don't know. I suppose break out? Find a way to wake you all up maybe-it depends on what I'll meet out there."
Ren grabbed his boyfriend's arm and held on tight. "You better be safe and take care of yourself." Muttered the wolf. "You barely take care of yourself with me around to keep you in line, and I'm not sure if Cleo and Tango will know what to do."
Doc leaned his head down to rest against Ren's. "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. I'm pretty sure you'll make Area 77 2.0 just to lock me up if I don't."
"Damn right I will."
The memory started before Doc could reply.
Grian was laying on his back looking up at the ceiling, feet up against the wall. His pants were ripped up till mid thigh where the ripping thankfully stopped. The reason for said ripping was the scales that now adorned Grian's legs, scales that looked like the ones that now covered all of both his arms.
The scales looked normal at a first glance, but looking closer they seemed to hold small galaxies in each scale. This gave Grian just the slightly out of this world look, but not enough to scream it out there.
There was a lot else that had changed with him. For one the scales from his ears had traveled and were now covering all of the top part of his face. His eyes have taken on a more reptile look, being mainly ice blue but the pupils were violet.
Grain was tapping one of his fingers against the stone floor, one of the few ways he could keep himself busy with the limited amount of things given to him. The builder had most likely been doing this for a while because he suddenly stopped and sat up, he stretched before switching to sitting and leaning against a wall.
Hours passed before anything happened. And the group would have probably wanted the boringness to continue.
"I hope you're enjoying your room so far?" Smiled Hills, using a faux happy voice.
He was given only a glare as a reply.
"Wonderful! Now I came here to ask you some questions, I hope you don't mind too terribly."
Shit
"I actually do mind, Shitouette." Hissed Grian, glaring dangerously at Hills.
Much to his, and everyone else's surprise, Hills flinched when Grian talked. He, honest to god, flinched at Grian's words. But he quickly recovered, but not fast enough for Grian to think it was just a trick of his mind.
"Are-are you scared of me?" Questioned Grain, a disbelieving smile on his face.
"No." Huffed Hills, trying to flatten his hair down. "I'm scared of your power, a power which you don't even know how to harness. At least not yet" He whispered the last part, not wanting Grian to hear it.
But this is fanfiction people, so naturally Grian heard. ""At least not yet"? What do you have planned for me?!" His tone was confident, but anyone could hear how scared he was.
"Me? I have nothing planned for you. But Fallacy? They have much planned for you, Stooge."
"They tried to control me once and I broke out then! And I'll do it again!" Growled the dirty blond, claws digging into the stone floor.
Hills laughed. "Sure you will! Do you really think that potion was just to knock you out?"
Grain's breathing picked up. "What did you do to me?!" The shadow didn't answer him and simply just got up and walked away. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?! ANSWER ME YOU COWARD!"
The dragon hybrid roared and slammed his fists against the wall, creating spider web cracks from where he'd made impact. Grian remained with his first still on the wall for a few seconds more before a sob tore out of him, and then tears and even more sobs followed it.
"What will you make me do?"
<After that, I give you Fallacy art!
Ok that should cover it! Might color this for next chapter, might not since I'm working on another art project at the moment.
Stay safe and have a wonderful time everyone!>
