😭I'm so sorry!!!😭
😰pls don't kill me😰
😥I don't want to die😥

---Fell's POV----

All I could remember in that split second was indescribable pain. Then nothing.

It was like my whole body went completely numb. I felt myself collapse and everything went in slow motion.

I hit the ground with a thud, not even feeling the impact.

I could see the fuzzy silhouette of the man suddenly rushing over. "Shit." I heard them curse. "Shit! Shit! Shit!"

They reached out to grab my shoulder but I intercepted and grabbed their wrist weakly. The sleeves of the hoodie had been pulled up to his elbows and his wrist and hand bones were visible.

I slowly twisted his hand round to show his palm bone. He let me. Unsure of what I was trying to do.

I studied his wrist and let out a dry laugh, there on the bones was a faint spiderweb patterned crack.

"Sci...?"

---Sci's POV----

"Sci?" He whispered. His hand gripping my wrist.

"Fell?" I responded weakly.

He smiled faintly. "You do remember." He whispered.

"Of course I do." I cried. "How could I forget?"

He looked like he wanted to say something but a coughing fit took him over and he doubled up gasping.

That's when I noticed his legs. They were slowly beginning to dust, the bones disintegrating as the life ebbed out of him.

That's when I realised...I had shot him.

I hadn't meant to! I hadn't meant to do any of this! All this pain and hurt. I didn't want this! This wasn't my choice!

It was the experiment.

It had all gone wrong. I had been working on a huge project with several other top scientists. We had been trying to make liquid negativity. We had a test subject and everything, but when it broke free.....

I was the only survivor.

The chemical combination of the negativity cells and the carbon dioxide in the air clouded my mind and corrupted me.

Not physically like our test subject, but internally, my mind wasn't right from then on.

But now everything's gone clear again. The corruption's gone. But I'm too late.

I looked down at Fell once more at to see his entire body up to his upper leg bones had already dusted.

He smiled weakly at me, realising that I was remembering past memories.

I looked down at him desperately, there has to be a way to save him! There must be a way!

I suddenly had a thought and in a desperate attempt I pulled an injector from my pocket.

Fell's eyes were closed, and for a moment I thought he had gone, but he let out a dry cough, wincing at the pain that the action caused.

He looked at me and to the injector in my hand and simply nodded at me. No words just a nod. I breathed in deeply and injected the liquid into his arm, watching sadly as his eyes closed and his breathing slowed.

I looked up to see that guy and....Blue.

I had also tried to kill Blue.

My other best friend. The one I said I'd protect.

The skeleton picked Blue up and turned to run. I didn't do anything and looked down at the gun laying discarded by my side.

Might as well do something useful for the world. I seemed to be watching from a different body as my hand shakily reached out and grasped the gun. It was cold to the touch.

My hand was shaking uncontrollably as I bought the gun up to my skull, I swallowed and breathed out a long breath before stilling my hand and pulling the trigger.

---Dust's POV----

I covered Blues ears as the gunshot rang out, continuing to run with him in my arms.

He was confused and scared but didn't struggle as I sprinted down alleyways, trying to get as far away from those two as possible.

I skidded down a side alleyway and stopped, putting Blue down in front of me, crouching down to his level.

"Your not hurt are you?" I asked frantically, terrified that the bullet could have hit him as well.

He shook his head, silent tears were running down his cheekbones and dropping onto his clothes. "D-Dust what happened?" He whimpered, his eyes were full of fear and I instantly wanted to comfort him.

"Don't worry, it was nothing. Your safe now." I whispered. He nodded and looked at the ground.

"I knew him..." He whispered.

"Who?"

"The one who jumped in front. He was my best friend at school, Fell, that was his name. It was us two and Sci, my other friend. I haven't seen or heard from him in a while though."

My eyes widened and I stood there, at a loss for words. Blue sniffed and wiped a tear from his cheekbone.

Then without warning he rammed into me in a hug, wrapping his arms round me and started sobbing uncontrollably. I picked him up and hugged him back, whispering reassuringly into his 'ear'.

"It's okay Blue....Your safe.....I've got you."

He nodded and drew in a sharp shaky breath before attempting to calm his breathing.

I looked around taking note of where we were. I needed to meet up with the others, that is, if they haven't got caught already.

We don't have a meet up point or anything. There's no way we'll be able to find each other, this towns far to big for us to just 'bump into each other'.

But where would we meet? I racked my brain for any place that would be a good place for us to meet that the others would have thought of.

What about our old house?

It might still be guarded by police, but it's a good thought. If they went to one place it would probably be there. We all know its location and we can all remember how to get there from anywhere in the town.

I started walking forward, Blue still safely locked in my arms. He sighed and snuggled closer to me, nuzzling his head into my shoulder.

I went with extreme caution, if I ran into the police it would be a lot harder to escape if I was carrying Blue.

Speaking of the small devil, he'd fallen asleep. Softly snoring, his mouth tilted upwards in a smile. I was happy that he was a bit better now, and content, not distressed like earlier.

The sound of voices suddenly echoed through the empty alleyway and I could see a pair of shadows coming closer, ready to round the bend.

I looked around frantically and jumped into a random side alleyway, pressing myself against the wall, lightly covering Blue's mouth incase he made a noise in his sleep.

Unfortunately for me that action seemed to wake him and he looked up at me fearfully, I put a finger to my 'lips' in the shushing pose.

Blue nodded quickly and I peeked round the corner to see two officers slowly making their way down towards us.

I side stepped further into the side alleyway. It wasn't very long and my side hit the end within a few steps.

I held my breath as the voices drew closer and Blue did the same. The silhouettes of the two officers walked past, seemingly not noticing us.

I waited for a minute before cautiously walking over to the main alleyway, just in time to see the officers round the bend at the end. Walking on to the next street.

I quickly ran out and continued going in the direction of the old house. If there was no one there then I'll head back for the square, or the forest. They might have retreated back to the woods for safety. That would also be a logical place for them to be.

A few more minutes of walking and we had nearly reached the road of abandoned houses.

I cautiously peered round the corner to see the road seemingly empty. But I didn't move. I waited for about a minute and when nothing happened I crept over to the first house and hid behind a bench in the rotting porch.

No sooner than I had hidden, voices called out. I cursed under my breath and tried to hide as well as possible.

Three officers walked past, with torches, shining them on each house, slowly making their way over to the house I was currently poorly hidden in.

A movement over by my right caused me to turn my head sharply towards the alleyway I had just come from.

And there crouched in the shadows, checking the coast for officers, was Killer.
