(Sorry guys, I was really distracted today, and couldn't write a lot. I'll make up for it next week with a longer chapter!)

=Crimson's POV=

I paced around the room. When Thea and I had stormed The Nightmare Palace, not only did we... rescue Skyler, but we had also captured The King's apprentice, or right-hand-man, or whatever. Skyler was knocked out by the explosion I'd caused, and Thea was able to tie up Nightmare Steve and that other guy.

I looked at Skyler, who we had put in bed, then at the guy, who was tied to a chair with vines. He glared at me. "Our King will come for us, y'know..." he snarled, "either that or we'll escape on our own." I rolled my eyes. "We?" I asked, "Skyler is the most loyal person I've ever met. If you escaped, it'd be alone, thank you."

The guy smirked. "You'll see what happens when Skyler wakes up." He told me. I crossed my arms and sat at the end of Skyler's bed. I considered what the guy told me. Back at the Nightmare Palace, Skyler did seem a little off... And he seemed like he was on Nightmare Steve's side too...

I turned to Skyler and rubbed his shoulder. "Skyler, Sky, wake up." I told him. He groaned. "I don't want to..." He mumbled. I sighed. Same old Skyler... "Please?" I asked. Skyler stretched out and groaned again, pulling the covers over his head.

I looked at the guy, who was smirking. I then turned back to Skyler, grabbing the sheets and yanking them off. Skyler screeched. "Noo! Give it back!" He yelped, sitting up. He looked at me. "Wait who are you?" Skyler tilted his head.

"What do you mean, 'who am I'? It's me, Crim!" I told him. Skyler tilted his head the other way. "I don't know you..." He mumbled. "Wha..?" I was dumbfounded. I then turned to the guy, who was hiding a smirk. "YOU!" I shouted. "You did this to him!"

Sky looked at the guy. "Revvie!" He shouted, rushing over. I grabbed his arm. "Sky, stay back!" I yelled. "Skyler, help me!" the guy, Revvie said. "Let go of me!" Skyler yelled, kicking me. I stumbled back, letting go of Skyler to hold my gut where his foot landed, almost loosing my lunch.

The next thing I knew, the window was shattered and Skyler and Revvie had disappeared. I just stood there. "...Thea's is so going to kill me..."
