💩Part 50.....is this book ever gonna end? (It will.....in like 20 more chapters or something)💩

🔥Hey, out of curiosity, who's your favourite character in this story if you have one cuz I'd love to know. (Mines Nightmare XD)🔥

---Cross' POV----

Everyone was getting ready. We had decided that we needed to go back to Craitown in an attempt to rescue Geno and some guy who they call Fresh.

Apparently he was caught by the police a while before I turned up. So this was a rescue mission.

The idea was that we left around the afternoon (it spellchecked that to Afterdeath XD) then we would hopefully arrive at the town in the cover of night.

We didn't actually have a full plan for how we'd bust them out but we were gonna try. Wing it if you like.

"Are you sure there's gonna be enough of us?" Killer called, scanning the room and everyone in it.

Error was the one to respond.

"Yeah, I mean maybe not before. But now that we've got Cross and Toothy we should be able to pull it off."

"Question is..." Dust started. "What can Toothy actually do? I mean we know that Cross is a badass with those knives of his, but what about Toothy? We've seen he's a master at running away. But is he any good in attack?"

We all turned to look at 'Toothy'.

"I can do enough." He growled.

"We'll be saying that at your funeral." Nightmare muttered, tripping Toothy over as he walked past.

Killer snickered.

"R.I.P. Toothy, his last words before the cruel world devoured him....I can do enough...."

Dust finished Killers sentence for him.

"But alas." He sighed. "Enough just wasn't.....enough."

They looked at each other slyly before collapsing into a fit of giggles and laughs.

"Very funny." Toothy growled, pushing himself off the floor and dusting himself down, scowling at all of us.

"Everyone chill." Error called. "We don't want an argument right before we leave, then the whole journey would be torture. We have enough to suffer through by putting up with Lusts whining."

"Hey!" Lust yelled."I don't whine!"

"Uhuh, sure." Nightmare muttered.

"Are you good to walk?" Error asked.

To answer him Lust pushed himself off the sofa he had been sat on, and took a few steps forward. "I think I'll make it." He winced.

We had crudely attempted to fix Lusts leg, bandaging it up. None of us were any good at healing, stuff like that comes for those of a pure heart.

The best we'd managed to do was bandage it along with a metal rod to keep it in place. He also had a pair of old crutches we had found whilst exploring Nightmares mansion.

The journey would definitely be slowed down by this. But there's no way that we'd leave anyone behind.

Error is also semi-crippled still. We couldn't do anything for his ribs, they look cracked beyond compare right now. But he'd insisted that he's fine and that it wouldn't affect us.

I think everyone was a bit worried about going back. Mainly because of the thought of encountering those vines again.

Yeah. I don't think any of us were too keen on that idea.

We were going to leave in around an hour or two. Everyone was chilling or snoozing, preparing for the long day ahead.

Everyone had fallen except for me, Nightmare and Error, who was currently playing cats cradle with his strings.

I watched curiously, barely acknowledging Nightmares presence as he leaned back into the sofa next to me, sighing quietly.

Errors eyes flicked over at me then quickly back down at his cats cradle.

"Have you ever got your strings tangled?" I asked. This question caused Nightmare to let out a snort of laughter and Error chuckled in response.

"Yeah, I have. Once. It took forever to untangle myself."

"About just over an hour if I remember correctly." Nightmare snickered. "We were ready to bring out some scissors."

Error gasped dramatically. "Not the scissors! Anything but the scissors!"

"That's a day that none of us will ever forget."

"Yup."

Error looked around the room, his eyes flickering over each of the sleeping bodies of the others.

"How long has this group been...a thing?" I asked curiously.

Error turned to look at me, stretching his arms behind his back. "About two years." He yawned.

That's longer than I would have expected.

"Have you always been causing trouble. Or is illegal stuff recent?" I asked.

Error shifted and got comfortable. I felt like a child in school waiting with a bunch of expectant kids for the teacher to tell a story.

Error cleared his throat before starting.

"Well...it started off as just a little gang consisting of Me, Geno and Fresh. The original three. Anyways, one day we were exploring some forest where some science lab had caught fire and burned down when an experiment went wrong. And that's where we found Nightmare."

I turned to look at him, his face was emotionless, his stare hard and cold. I quickly broke eye contact and turned back to Error expectantly.

He also glanced at Nightmare before continuing. "So...we found him about a mile out into the woods, heading in the direction away from the burning science building.

Obviously we were curious. I mean, who wouldn't be if they saw that." He said, indicating towards Nightmare who only growled in response.

"Anyways. So long story short he tried to kill us and nearly succeeded. We figured out he was on his own and had the stupidly brilliant idea of offering him a place with us.

Yeah, not sure which one of us had that brilliant idea. But whoever did it was actually a good choice. Without Nightmare most of would have been caught by now."

"How flattering." Nightmare muttered.

"Shhhh." I whispered, leaning my head against his shoulder.

Error raised an 'eyebrow' in amusement. "If any of us told Nightmare to shh we would probably be halfway across the room right now waiting to feel the crunch of our bones hitting the wall."

I tensed looking up at Nightmare, he showed no sign of acknowledging Errors latest comment. His eye was shut and his breathing had slowed. But he wasn't asleep. I could sense that much.

"Okay...." Error whistled. "Damn your special. But back to the story.

When Nightmare joined we started doing illegal stuff. Nothing big seeing as there was only four of us, but silly things like shoplifting and small stuff like that.

Eventually we thought it would be a funny idea to try a prison brake to find some new people and, mainly to cause havoc for the police. That was kinda our goal.

That's where we got Horror. We had found his files along with many others. We didn't have a goal for finding anyone, but when we saw him in his cell we knew.

He was broken out and joined us, it was only later that we realised he was in there for an axe massacre he committed.

Then Lust came along....I don't even remember how we found him. We didn't want him. That's for sure. But for some inexplicable reason Horror grew attached to him and wouldn't let us get rid of him. But we've got used to him and he's not actually that bad to be honest."

"Why does his story sound so familiar?" I muttered sarcasticly.

Error smiled apologetically. "Yeah, sorry. Newbies are always given hell. Anyway, Killer and Dust came along together. Some teenagers bored of life and wanted fun.

Well that's certainly what they got. They're quite a good edition to this team, they've had some killing experience as well so that's a bonus.

And now you and Toothy are here. One big happy family."

I nodded. "Yeah....family...."

---Time Skip----

"Lets go everyone!" Error called, walking out of the big double doors of the mansion.

"Lets rescue those dipshits and get our family back!"

We all cheered, marching out once more into the corrupted land of ash.

---??? POV----

The Chief sat next to me, looking nervously over at the computer in front of me.

It was a tracker, we had been tracking something for the past few weeks. No activity had happened for a while and we were questioning wether our subject had died.

I felt the Chief stiffen when the tracker beeped into life and the little red dot on the screen jumped forward.

I grinned.

Finally.

They're on the move.
