"Everything is going according to my plan. Soon they will learn the wrath of my power. The world will be in my hands and nothing will stop me." Dark said evilly. Nothing will stop him, he is the most powerful being on the planet. Nothing, not even those good for nothing kids that say they will stop him.

"Yes, master," Lily said in a monotone voice. Her voice contained no emotion, a great comparison would be if a robot is speaking. Her only task is to obey her master. Obey her master, even if he asks her to kill someone.

The house didn't make a noise, they couldn't keep up with everything that is happening. They were so tense, no one knows what to say in this situation. They just found out that Sub is nowhere to be found. Everyone keeps glaring at Sketch but they also have this sadness in their eyes, like they're disappointed about something. He doesn't understand why everyone is looking at him like that.

"Sketch, can I ask you something?" Elsa asks, trying to keep her tears from falling. She doesn't know what to say, everything is stacking up too fast and she, everyone, doesn't know how to handle it.

"Go ahead," He couldn't look up for some reason, it like he did something that he would regret later. He doesn't know what it was but everyone is looking at him with such bad emotions he knows he did something wrong.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" He saw how everyone tense even more than they were before. He can't take it anymore, everyone looking at him, how guilty he feels without even knowing what he did wrong. Putting what he knows, it has to do with Sub's disappearance.

"No, please tell me it wasn't bad. Please," He begged but he knows he did something horrible. The guts are telling him that. Yet he pleaded that it wasn't bad. He felt tears run down his cheek as he heard what Elsa told him. He did nothing to stop them.

"You told hurtful things to Sub. You told him that he was useless and attacked him. You were harsh to him. I didn't know what to do, how to respond."

"NO, I DIDN'T DO THAT!"

"Sketch, we were all there. We saw everything that happens. But what happened afterward is the problem. We all know that Sub left because his belongings are all gone. Two days have passed after the event." Olivia explains. She tries to remind herself that everything will be fine, that they will find Sub and Lily. But nothing is helping, the anxiety is there growing bigger.

Sketch only felt sadness, he was the one that hurt his best friend. He was responsible for the pain he caused to Sub. More tears fell down as he buries himself into the table. He couldn't look up, couldn't look up at see the look in his friends' faces.

"Master, your first part of the plan has been a success. Should we continue onto the next part?"

"Yes, is Sub in the place we calculate he would be?"

"Yes, master."

"Good. Is the equipment ready?"

"Yes, master."

"Perfect, this is all perfect. Soon I will rule this world. Won't I, Lily?"

"You will, master."

"Soon Sub will join us. We will be waiting for your arrival, Sub."

Something is wrong, Sub felt it but he kept going. He didn't want to turn back. He wanted to forget them, all the bad things that occurred to him. All the pain. Yet he is feeling that something will bad will happen to him.

He felt his eye burn, the one Lily scratch. It's burning intense but he didn't mind. It was somewhat calming, it didn't hurt as much. It was better than everything he went through.

"You finally decided to come. We working our asses to find a way to save Lily while you went somewhere being f***ing useless."

Why is he remembering it? Can't you understand that he wants to forget it? The words, the pain, and how his heart broke into half. He didn't know where to go, his legs hurt from all the walking, he didn't have a destination. All he wants is to get away. He doesn't know if he could take it anymore. Some tears fell down as he stops all the tiring walking.

"I will miss you, my little angel. But I couldn't make it this time."

His mother's suicide. His tears fell down valiantly and he kneels down to hug himself. He remembers when he saw his mother cutting herself. When she killed herself. He cried as he remembers all the past memories he wishes he could forget.

"My name is Elijah and it a pleasure to meet you Sub but you can call me Sketch 'cause it sounds so cool!"

Stop. Stop it. Stop the pain. Stop breaking his heart, it already suffered enough. He just want it all to end, somebody please help.

"Sub, is that you?"

He looked up to see something unexpected, something he couldn't believe is right here. He could see those bright beautiful eyes, a blue color. The curly hair with shades of purple in the bottom. And that smile she has, it was giving calming vibes which he could feel.
He's seeing Lily in front of him.

"Lily? What?" He didn't know what to say. They all saw when Dark transform her into something vicious. They all saw when he took her away. Is this the real Lily?

"Don't worry, I can explain. Well, let say that I escaped from Dark. But he is still trying to take over the world. We need to tell the others. Wait, why are you here?" Lily asks, but there's something about her voice that makes Sub shiver. Something is wrong about this. But she the only one that seems to care about him.

"Um, something bad happened. Sketch told me harmful things and attacked me. And it seems that no one cares."

"That sad. When we go back home, we will all talk about it. I promise we will solve this." Lily smile, but for some reason, it seems fake.

"You promise?" He asks hesitantly.

"I promise. Come on, let go Sub" He gives her hand to Sub so be could stand up which he accepts. She helps him up and smiles. Sub grabs his suitcase and Lily grabs the other one. He follows her but he could still feel that something is wrong but he ignores it. Oh, how he wishes he didn't.
