Time

Time was mulling over his last words when her phone rang again, the name displayed on the top being Fear. Without hesitation, she answered.

"What happened?" she cut straight to the chase.

"Uhhhmm," the uncertainty in his voice, as well as the shouts in the background, made her freeze. "Well..."

"Nicolas," Time started walking out of the house, making her way to his mansion. "Tell me exactly what happened."

"Imight'veaccidentallycreatedaseagullandburnedthroughmycontactsinfrontofMaxandmyfriends," Had she not had experience when it came to Fear rushing his words, she would definitely have no idea what he just said.

"You did WHAT!?!" she stopped walking to shout into her phone, earning a weird look from a woman holding hands with her son, who she moved slightly away from the "crazy lady".

Time ignored the look she received as she stared at her phone.

"I, uh-" Time rolled her eyes before cutting him off.

"Okay, " she sighed, massaging her forehead. "I'll call Pain and ask her to bring the extra contacts. I'm on my way."

She sighed in exhaustion before she started running.

It couldn't be that bad, could it?

Time took that back. It very much was.

Strapped to a wooden chair with belts and rope, Fear looked as exhausted as she felt. Seated right next to him, Shade had obviously fallen asleep with her eyes open... again.

If there is no blood involved, Shade has no interest. When she has no interest, she sleeps.

And she slept through a war multiple times.

Time turned to look for his friends, two of which had been trying to sneak up on her and tie her to a chair as well.

She raised an eyebrow as Fear shrugged sheepishly. He motioned with his shoulder to his desk, where a burn mark was the only clue that something had happened. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, before sighing.

"Let me guess," she looked between Fear and his friends. "You panicked?"

Fear blushed. "Maybe."

Time sighed before motioning for Fear to break out of his bonds. He looked at her in confusion, but nevertheless nodded in compliance. He scrunched his nose in concentration.

Slowly, shadows extended from the various corners of the room. Slowly, they winded their way to the centre of the room, wrapping around him as he slowly faded from sight. Time watched their faces as he slowly appeared right next to her, knowing that he was smirking and his eyes were glowing their ethereal red again. They turned to face Pain when they heard her startle awake.

"HEY!" Time bit her lip as she heard Fear chuckling at Pain's indignation. "IF you're gonna escape, the least you could do is tell me that we could!"

"Hey," he shrugged, gesturing to Time. "I only found out just now. You can do it if you want to."

Pain snorted before ripping the ropes in an instant, rubbing her wrists where they had tied the ropes too tight. She glared at the boys, her iris splitting into fragments. Time felt Fear stiffen next to her before he knocked Pain down. Time took his place in holding her down as he walked up to his friends, or possibly ex-friends, and sighed.

"Okay," he rubbed the bridge of his nose, blowing out a breath before continuing. "I guess I'd better just say it and get it over and done with, huh?" Fear turned to her for confirmation before continuing.

"Okay, I need you all to keep an open mind about what I'm about to tell you..."

And while Pain muttered curse words under her breath, Fear began.

A/N: I SAID I WAS SORRY, OKAY???

(Oh, sorry. I forgot that my mic was on...)

For those who are most probably confused as to what happened (FEAR PUT THAT DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTA- *unintelligible cursing*), Fear is upset that this story part took so long to finish.

(I DARE YOU TO KEEP TO DATE WITH SCRIVENING WORK TO DO!!!)

While I deal with this guy...

Denograde Out ;)
