T-co just stood there scared. He dosen't know if Ringo will react like that again or not. Again they are close friends. He still has trust in hem. Like he can't lose he's only friend cus he dosen't exactly know how he would survive on his own.

Ringo dragged hem into his room and the fox was hideing under the bed. T-co has no clue about it tho and just sat at the edge of Ringos bed. Honestly Ringo knows T-co needs the space rn. But he slowly got closer to T-co and held onto hem. He was to attached to hem to want to stay affordable to much longer.
______________________________________

By the time night had fallen t-co was just laying there on his bed not being able to sleep. He kept thinking about that new guy who appeared. They seemed nice and something told hem that they possibly know Travis. And if they do know Travis he doesn't understand why he would be calling hem emerald of all things. Like some thing is telling hem that they might have been an old friend of Travis from the 1713 attack he read about.

Only a few minutes later he heard his door crack open and heard Ringo lightly whisper if he could come in. He said he could and he quickly hid his head under the pillows trying to hide a bit. Like he's still slightly scared of what happened. He knows it's unlikely to happen again but he's just being on the safe side.

He could tell Ringo sat on the edge of the bed. He didn't say anything and neither did he. They were both just there. Not speaking at all. Award. At least not until a owl flew into the window and just flew in spot there.

T-co immediately got up and opened the window and put his arm out towards it. It went on his hand and he brought it inside. He sat back down checking to see if it's ok. It was extremely cold for an animal and he quickly put the blanket around it and held it. Ringo just looked at hem weirdly questioning why he would bring a wild animal inside. Again he shouldn't be complaining as he has a fox in his room.

The owl looked a little dizzy but overall seems fine. Almost like it didn't get hurt at all. Ringo felt like there was something off about the owl tho he want over T-cos shoulder giving it a weird glare. It looked back in an annoyed but confused face. Ringo now knows this isn't an owl. Has to be a shape shifting animal or something.

T-co evenchly pushed Ringo to the side lightly and sat on the bed putting the owl on the nightstand. Ringo slowly left the room hoping the owl isn't Travis or some backup or spy possibly. There's meny possiblys of what it is. Again it could be something harmless but he's just worried incase of danger. Ringo is generally changing the more things happen. Like he originally seamed so cheerful but now it's like constant concern.
______________________________________

Ringo went outside and just walked in the dark empty street. He was just thinking to hemself. He's also aware that Travis or someone else could appear behind hem or something. And incase he has his claws out. Besides he needs to defend hemself when needed. And as he thought someone came behind hem. Tho they were running from a distance.

It ended up being cell who asked why he was out so late. He kinda just shrugged and continued to walk aimlessly. Honestly he kinda looked like an emo walking around at night with the way he's acting. Ears down and back paws in pocket and kinda slouched down with an annoyed face.

Cell decided to just stick with hem incase of anything bad happens. Besides they were really close friends after luckily was kill aswell as Typhon. They support one another as they all have there own tough times. He couldn't let the risk of Ringo getting killed be to high. Besides he knows Travis wants hem dead.

He soon realized a hole on Ringos hoodie and a spot in his arm that was sewn up. Obviously worried he asked about it but got no answer. Ringo was probably to calt up in his thoughts. Cell just stopped walking and watched as he kept walking. At least till he looked to the side for a moment and almost triped when running so suddenly.

There's definitely something wrong
______________________________________

First person pov*

I saw that Cell had stopped walking beside me after asking about the hole in my hoodie... He was probably just really worried but I don't care at the moment. I was more worried about T-co as idk if the "owl" is dangerous or not.. I just need some time to myself again tho....I then saw glowing orange and a yellow eye.

I ran.

I had no clue who that was but something told me it wasn't an animal. And whatever it is it has the same thing going on with T-cos eyes with it being black outside and color inside.

Whatever the hell that was I'm not going near it. I don't have trust in it and I realized it was gone. I hadn't realized I cursed out Loud under my breath knowing it was probably following me.

I kept running not knowing if it would kill me or not. I know it would be better to run back to the house but I'm not in the mood to go back at the moment. I already have enough to think about so my only choice at the moment was run.

At the time I got to the school I hid in a bush and was trying to catch my breath. I was hoping to not be seen or anything like that. I just layed there looking from under the bushes to see if anyone was there. But I was suddenly pulled out and pulled to somewhere else.

3rd person pov.

Ringo was dragged out from under the bush and to a place that looked safer. It was a vine and bush wall. Whoever pulled hem away held hem over his mouth and held hem close.

He quickly realized why and froze. He saw what he thinks is Travis but he looked completely different. The horns were the same as well as the tail. Wings were the same but not feathered and had chains keeping them closed. He looked like he was part animal. As he walked by he growled looking around on high alert.

Ringo Obviously found this tarifing as he knows Travis if hunting hem down and he thinks this is the first time Travis has had how he looks been shown. He was stuck there for another 5 minutes or so before whoever was holding onto hem let go.

It was that popular kid in the school that luckily started to talk to a month or so before his death. Obviously he dosen't really care about who this is as he's only known for meny death that happen around hem. Mostly luckys and Typhons.

"Bud you really need to be careful these nights. I've been seeing hem around and I think your the next target."

Ringo responded with a snap.

"WELL NO SHIT HE KILLED BOTH MY PARENTS-"

"Woh woh woh-. Chill out- I basically just saved your life."

"And I don't give two shits about you"

"I can tell. But just chill. I know your the blame for luckys death but I know you were in the distance. Even so you were-"

"In a relationship with hem-... ya I think I know but a week before his death I separated myself from hem cus he started to hang out with you and he started to change then makeing me ditch hem then leading to the blame and I blame YOU for the blame on me."

Ringo growled at them obviously really mad at them. Lucky used to always help hem when he would get upset and what not and would support him. But then he became friends with the popular kid here. Lucky only stared to change and things fell apart between the two of them. Ringo thinks there name is cyanore but he can't remember. Even so he dosen't even care. All he know is that they go by they/them.

He quickly snarled at them and walked away once again with his hands in his pockets and ears down behind his head. He started muttering things under his breath in annoyance. Like luck was one of his closest friends after Typhon died. And lucky was always there for hem till he became friends with cyanore. Tho luckily changed alot he still felt torn. Thinking back to this he snapped back to reality kicking a rock off the bridge into the water.

He just looked at it. He feels bad not going to the funeral suddenly. He should have went. Lucky helped hem get through some ruff things in the past. If lucky was still here he'd probably try and help hem.

He just stood on the bridge silently takeing all that in. It started to rain and he hadn't realized he started to tear up. His life was a bit messed up. All his siblings had died when he was young and so had his dad. His mother was lost recently. But originally she never cared for hem. Or was she portending to care?...

He kinda just froze. His back hurt alot suddenly as it was struck with cold. He lightly held onto his bandanna knowing it was once his fathers. The only one who had cared about hem. He was getting hit with meny emotions and got really light headed and quickly sat down holding his head. He hadn't realized he blacked out.
______________________________________

He woke up soaking wet from the rain. It was still really dark but he was on the deck of his house. He looked around a small bit before slowly standing up. He opened the door and went inside. The cat his mom got came up to hem purring. He picked it up and brought it upstairs as he walked to his room. The fox was under his bed sleeping and honestly tho he was passed out not long ago he was really tired. He layed on his bed and quickly was out like a light.

He was woken up by getting shaken. He looked up and slightly to the side seeing Ace.  At the moment he doesn't know who he is but kept silent looking at hem. He was confused on why he's here and why he had woken hem up.

"You Allright?"

"I'm alive so I think I'm o-"

"Just because your alive dosen't mean your ok buddy."

"Well then idk if I'm o-"

"You there thinking a lot last night. It was throwing alot of emotions at you especially will all the death you've seen."

"How did you-"

" I have mind reading and at times it helpful as over wise I would have brought you to the hospital."

"Wouldn't bringing me there in the first place better tho-"

"For something as mild as this your fine. If emerled saw you and attacked I would bring you to the hospital."

"But still for the safety of ove-"

"There's a big difference there Ringo. Your friend lucky would know."

"How-"

"Mind reading and I kinda got to know them myself. They said you were a good friend. "

"You just talk to strangers-...."

"It's what we did all the time back in my days"

"What days?! The 1960s?"

"1700s"

"That's almost 300 years ago-..."

"And I died 306 years ago almost 307 years ago."

"1713-"

"Got it"

"Isint that when Tr-"

"Emerled went on a full rampage and killed everyone in a town after becoming close friends with 3 people back then one of them being a prince"

Ringo went silent with the amount of detail just being said but why was he saying Emerled instead of Travis. For hem he was confused not knowing why he's saying Emerled.

"When you say Emerled you mean Travis right-"

"Yup. In 1711-1713 we were really close friends and I basically left my friend Spade behind just to hang out with Emerled all the time but no one knows the details of what truly happened. "

"So you were friends with Travis for some reason-"

" Yup. If you ask hem about back then without getting attacked he might respond with that it was probably the best years of his life."

"Why do you call hem emerald tho-"

"It was a name I gave hen reposenting he was the diamond and also so people back then don't know I was talking about a demon known for killing. Over time I got used to calling hem emereld"

"..." grabs bottle of water * "what's this do you know?"

"Ya it's a bo'ohw'o wo'er"

"From England I see?"

"Ya how you know-"

"The accent"

"Well why did you ask me that that was-"

"One cus I didn't know that those in 1713 knew what they are and also I had a slight feeling that you were British"

"Welp I'm a bri'ish one aswell as Spade and club."

"You had friends named Spade and club-...why were they named like that-"

"Well I find it cool as I am atchley named Ace makeing it like-"

"The cards...is that why you call Travis emerald in replacement of the diamond-"

"Why was I supposed to call hem hearts or something?"

"Im just wondering why the card feam-"

"It's just what we went with. Me and Spade used to be such close friends to the point I almost fell for hem but then Travis came around and I kinda fell for hem-..."

"...cus you were in the 1713 attack didn't he kill you-"

"He ingerd me."

"Exactly so he killed you-"

"No he ingerd me and it made me weak to the point I couldn't live on my own so I killed myself."

"So you died to suicide cus if Travis-"

"I was hoping I could go to hell with hem"

"Why would you want to be around hem in the first place?!?!"

"Cus there's...alot more to hem then what meats the eye-..."

"What do you mean by that-"

" he's being forced to kill... if he dosen't then he suffers painfully.  It's been this way for hem for almost 700 years for hem now."

"So he dosen't want to kill me.. he just dosen't want to suf-"

"Ya-...no one over then me hem and now you know about it."

"He's being abused for not killing-"

"Being abused for being nice to"

"WHAT PSYCHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!"

"Satan is who"

"..."

"Travis is atchley so kind and careing- he would do anything to not have to kill"

Ringo went silent. He truly didn't think of things this way. And it honestly makes sense. Travis looked a bit beat up and depressed as he walked by. He had his one eye covered probably hideing something. Like something tells hem it's true. Something also tells hem he shouldn't tell anyone as Ace looks a bit worried since he's said that.

Ace looked around a small bit before opening a portal to what looked like a ruins. He went through and closed the portal before he could climb through. Must he the place the 1713 attack happened. He looked around a small bit hemself and got up and went to t-cos room.

T-co was still asleep in his bed and seemed ok but maybe a bit cold. Besides it's the end of January. It's supposed to be cold. He climbed onto the bed and held onto T-co and was attempting to take in everything Ace had said.
