Red's POV 

My siblings start to fade away turning into bright rays of light. yellow, blue, green, purple, pink, and magenta colored lights float all around the room. Is that their souls or something? The rays of light float all around the room moving in a fast paced and chaotic motion. It almost looks like they're coming straight towards me!

And that's because they are! 

I've got no choice. I've got to run for my life. I get up from my hiding spot and try to make a break for the door trying to shield my eyes from the bright lights and any debre that may be caused by the explosion. I keep running despite having to look at the ground so I don't get blinded. The rays keep flying around the room like crazy, and I don't manage to make it out. The last thing I remember are the colorful rays of light hitting me....

Third person POV

As the rays of light hit Red his body starts changing colors rapidly and before he passes out his eyes change to shades of yellows, blues, greens, purples, pinks, and magentas.

Red's POV

Ooh what the heck. Wha.... wha happened. I slowly open my eyes blinking a couple times trying to adjust my vision. My eyes slowly adjust and I see I'm sitting in the destroyed remains of my garage. I weakly try to sit up and remember what happened. And what could of caused this. As I sit up I start coughing from seeing some from a machine nearby me. I brush the ash and dust of my onesie. In the corner is a small fire that is really of no concern, my face is probably covered in dirt right now.

I try to walk forward which fails because I suddenly become very dizzy and wobbly. "Woah!" I scream. Should I call someone for help? My vision starts to blur a bit and I keep seeing a wide variety of colors. That's not exactly normal. I should really see a doctor of some kind. I continue to try walking and it gets worse. I fall to the ground overtaken by some kind of illness or head trauma and just lay there helplessly. I blink a few times each time my vision getting worse and blurrier, as I see some sort of figure step in front of me wearing gray I think....

Red's POV

I slowly reopen my eyes? Where am I? I see... I see someone whose familiar to me. I can't make them out right now. Ugh. My hand goes to my head I've got a massive headache right now which makes me grit my teeth. I keep trying to blink in hopes that my vision will come back, but it isn't. The figure speaks to me.

"Reds whats the matters with yous?" He asks. I blink in confusion a few times trying to determine the voice. My heads hurts to much to concentrate. "Reds!" The voice calls out again. Is Reds my name or something? Or is it reds like the color? "REDS!" The voice screams this time. I shake my head side to side trying to focus on the voice. I slowly blink and I can finally figure out whose in front of me. 

Barney.

"Bar...bar...Barney?" I ask him.

"Yeahs Reds?" Barney asks.

"Barney." I say again smiling up at him.

"Yous gave mes a big scare. I didnts thinks you would wake ups." He said.

"Ooh." I say in reply my vision still fogging.

"Are yous hurts?" He asked me.

"I... I think so my head aches I can't see... straight and I uh.. don't know what happened." I tell him.

"Yous don'ts knows what happened?" He asks me.

"No. Do...do you?" I ask him giving him a weak smile.

"Nos! I justs comes over because I hears a loud sound, and then I sees yous passed outs." He tells me.

Great so the only person who may know what happened has no idea what happened.

"Where's ares your siblings?" He asks me. I give him a confused look.

"What siblings?" I ask him.

"Yours siblings!" He yells at me.

"Hey... woah woah stop yelling my ears are still sore from whatever that was, and I don't know what your talking about." I tell him.

"Whats dos yous mean? Do yous have concussion? Ors is yous trying to get past yours grief?" He asks me.

"A concussion I'm 100% sure of. Earlier I was seeing colors and stuff. But my grief what grief?" I ask him.

Barney's POV

Is hes joking with mes? Or does hes not remembers? His sibling Magenta dies a few weeks ago and his other sibling ran aways and hes been isolated evers sense. Hes didnts even tells me she dies. Or how she died! I finds outs from our school that she dies. Maybes the concussion is very bads and he can't remembers thats much or somethings. I don'ts knows why hes remembers mes when hes cants remembers them.

Red's POV

Barney stays quiet for a bit as if he's trying to think of what to say or do next.

"Barney... I think I need to stay resting here for the next couple of days all my memories are hazzy and I can't see that well." I tell him. It's like I need a pair of glasses to see. Apparently I also siblings or something like that that I can't remember, and from the looks of it they may have died or something.

"Okays. If yous needs anything lets mes know." He tells me.

I'm lucky to have a friend like Barney. He really is the best. I think to myself before I fall asleep again.

Darkness

Darkness....

Where am I? What is this place? It's just dark nothing's here? I walk around a bit trying to figure out what's going on. "Barney? Hello anyone?" I call out.

"Hello." A voice says. That voice it's familiar somehow.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Someone who you know." The voice replies.

I glare and look around to find them, but I see no one there. "Why don't you show yourself?" I ask.

"I already have." The voice replies.

What is this some sort of mind game? I'm getting annoyed.

"Well who are you?" I ask.

"I am your nightmares." The voice replies.

"What? This is a dream?" I ask.

"No. I just clearly stated this was a nightmare." The voice replies. I can't see the voice, but I bet whoever it is must be glaring or rolling their eyes at me.

"Well for a nightmare this doesn't seem to scary." I tell the voice.

"Oh, but it will be. One that will haunt you even while awake." The voice says with a chuckle.

I really don't like whoever this is. Why the whole dark and mysterious act. Why not just tell me what's going on.

"What do you mean?" I ask the voice.

"You will see. You will see." The voice says.

And then I wake up.

I'm laying there in the grass. I look up and see the sun it's afternoon time. Around 1 or 2 o'clock. No clouds or out at this time of day. I stand up slowly a bit confused I don't know how I got here. I see a field of daisies all around me. I bend down to look at them. The flowers are of many different colors. I feel a sensation of happiness and tranquility surround me. A sudden erg to run sound in the field of flowers comes to me. I can't fight it and soon I'm skipping through the field. I run around spinning around laughing and looking up into the sky. I've never been so happy before in my entire life. I complelty forget about anything. My only desire is to stay here forever.

I pick a few of the flowers and decide to make them into a flower crown. I pick a Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, and Magentish color for my beautiful flower crown. I pause for a moment thinking of another color of flower to add to my flower crown. I can't decide on Orange or Purple. I think for a moment and think of how nice the purple and magenta flower would look together. They truly are a great pair.

I run over to a field where I saw a bunch of purple flowers. 

I'm gonna find the flower in the middle.

 As I skip happily singing I stop dead in my tracks. 

I see bodies of people lying there covered in blood. 

And one of them has wires poking out of his body 

There eyes wide open.

"It's... your... fault." They tell me.

No. No no no no! What what is happening?

The bodies start moving all of them pale like some sort of ghost or zombie.

"It's.... your.... fault." They call to me again.

"I.... don't know who....you are!" I tell them slowly backing away.

I look up and notice the sky changing its dark and storm clouds roll in. Clashes of lightning in the distance.

"Yes....you...do." They tell me still approaching.

I look down again and notice that all the flowers and trees are dying.

"Your all... mistaken. I don't know... you." I say gulping.

"Yes... you...do. Where... your...family." They tell me.

"I don't... have any siblings." I tell them.

"Yes...you...do...you...just...don't....want....to....remember...us." They tell me.

"W....why?"

"Look...down....Red." They say.

My head does as they say. I look down and see blood on my hands. I look up gasping in horror. "You...murdered...us." They say and with that they jump on me pinning me to the ground. I start to screaming telling them I'm sorry they don't escort my apology and they kill me.

I wake up in a cold sweat sitting straight up. I breathe rapidly. They're right I did kill them. My machine killed them all. At least that's what they all told me in my nightmare. I should have noticed Purple's signs I should have protected Magenta. It's all my fault. I start to sob and soon I can't stop. And I swear my vision turned slightly blueish for a split second. Maybe it's cause if at see very well. I can't stop. "I'm... so...sorry." I say my voice so raspy I can barely speak.

Barney comes in rushing into his room which is wear I'm staying at apparently.

"Reds?!?" He says running up to me hugging me.

"I'm...so..sorry...I..lost everyone." I say.

"Youves still gots mes." He says crying a bit seeing me so sad.

"Thanks. Barney." I tell him.

"I think I'm gonna need a pair of glasses. I can't see and for some reason when I get sad it gets worse." I tell Barney. 

He pulls out a pair of glasses ones that Blue used to wear. And for some reason I can see perfectly when wearing them. Odd. Maybe my subconscious wants to be close to Blue. 

-Timeskip- 

I've spent the past few days at Barney's house slowly being nursed back to health. He says it's safer for me to stay here where someone can watch over me and help me mentally and physically then to go home. Although I'm not sure how much home there is to go too. I think about telling Barney what happened everything that happened, but then I think about the dream. It is my fault. If I tell Barney he might tell someone. Barney's never been the best with secrets and he gets scared so easily. I remember this one time when me, Barney, and Green were (Purple: I'm interrupting here it's Barney, Green, and I. Red never did learn proper grammar now did he? You may continue on with your story here.) I pause. And start to sob again. Green.... even though we fought sometimes... I still love him....

I just don't know what to do. I.... I can't tell anyone about what happened. Especially Barney he'd probably turn me into jail for murder. He doesn't even know that Purple killed Magenta....

Just then Barney comes in

"Heys Reds yous feelings anys betters?" He asks me.

"No." I say refusing to look at him.

"Ifs yous wants to talks abouts its I'm heres." Barney tells me.

"Thanks, but I think I'm gonna just rest now. I've got a lot of my mind." I tell him.

"Okays. Wells ims gonna heads to yours place sees if I cans finds outs what happenings the others days." He tells me.

No no no. This is bad. This is very bad. If Barney goes over he'll see my machine he'll think I killed them. I can't let that happen. I've gotta prevent him from doing so. A dark thought comes into my head. The thought of creating a mind erasing potion giving it to Barney and myself and moving away starting a new life. I can't stay here people will think I did it. And didn't I do it? Didn't my machine kill them? Police are probably investigating the scene of the crime. Besides I'm the only one that was home. A bunch of siblings disappear mysteriously without a trace with only one left. Yep. I can see my mugshot now. I'd have to give myself the formula too for three reasons one I'd probably feel so guilty I'd turn myself in. Two I can't live with the pain of knowing that I took innocent lives, and three I don't really have any family left.....

It's decided then I'll go with Barney make a formal give it to the both of us and start a new life. I'll of course have to give us both some "false" memories tinker around with our minds. Don't worry I'll give Barney good memories.

"Hey I'm feeling better. Besides its my house. I'd probably be able to figure out what happened." I tell Barney.

"Oohs I donts knows, yous might stills bes weak." He tells me.

"Don't worry I'm feeling fine." I tell him.

"Oohs okays." He says.

Perfect the plan is ago!

We arrive at my house or what was my house to find a pile of ashes where my garage used to be.

"Wheres dos yous want to searches first?" Barney asks me.

"Um how about I check out my lab and you check my bedroom. There might be something important in there." I tell him. I'm lying to him of course, but he doesn't that. When he goes to my room I'll make the potions put one in his drink and then I'll drink one myself.

Barney looks at me as if he's trying to figure if I'm hiding something or not. "Buts Reds it's dangerous downs theres alone." Barney says protesting.

"I know, but I don't want anything bad to happen to you your my best friend." I tell him. My heart hurts saying that it's true I don't want anything to hurt him and he is my best friend, but I have to go through with this.

"Okays." He tells me walking off to go check my house.

Barney's POV

I thinks Reds might bes lyings to mes, buts he just lost his siblings so maybes he needs times to bes alone.

Red's POV

With Barney gone I make my way to my old lab. Hoping, no praying that the proper ingredients are there. I make my way through the lab kinda hard to see a bit without proper lighting which is why I'm glad I brought a flashlight. I turn it on better, not great, but better. I open up the cabinet. Yep, this will help make the formula. Now I just need the book to make sure I make the potion correctly. These bad boys will do the job I say to myself. I walk over to a collapsed bookshelf and struggle to pick it up. AHHHHHHHHHH! My backs gonna hurt for the next couple of days. I turn it over on its side and pick up the book. I wipe the dust off from the book. Coughing at the amount of dust came from it. I open it I skim through the pages. Perfect just as I thought. I didn't even need to lift the shelve to get the book, but if there's one thing my many mistakes have taught me is always double check.

I start creating the formula mixing ingredients all around in a beaker. Adding a pinch of this a dash of that, and wha la it's finished. Now to find Barney and give him his potion. As I walk out of the lab a feeling of sorrow and hesitation falls on me. If I erase Barney from my life. I won't have anyone. Barney's like family to me. I couldn't stand to lose him. And that's exactly why I have to do this. My invention killed my siblings I'd probably do the same to Barney. I can't let that happen. That's why I'll start a new life, go to school learn to better at inventing things so that this never happens again.

I get two bottles of water and dump the potions into them.

Barney's POV

"Hey Barney." Reds says feeling downs.

"Are you okays.? You looks downs in the dumps?" I asks him. Thats was not a smarts thing to asks, he just lost his family. Hes probablys dyings on the insides.

"I'm fine. I just thought the two of us could have lunch." He says.

"Lunch thats sounds great. Bong bong chickaler!" I says.

Reds makes a sad chuckles and sighs. "I'm gonna miss that." He says.

"Miss whats?" I asks him.

Reds looks alert nows. "Oh I mean my garage, and parts of my house they got destroyed." He tells mes.

"Wells yous can stays at my places." I tell him.

"Thanks Barney your the best." He says sadly.

Red's POV

I get Barney the bottle of water. "Here you should drink this its kinda hot and you might get dehydrated." I tell him.

"Ohs thanks yous." He says. I breathe heavily as Barney drinks the water. He chugs down the whole thing. This is it. He's gonna forget me. Barney finishes the drink and his eyes go droopy. He closes his eyes and his head hangs. In a couple of minutes he'll "wake up" with no memory. I take this opportunity to run. I don't want to be here when he wakes up confused about why he's here.

I keep running and I don't look back. A few tears fall down my face, but it'll all be worth it once I drink this potion. I just can't live with myself like his knowing what my machine did.

I run to the other side of the house and hold the water bottle out in front of me once I drink this I'll forget everything about Barney. I won't remember him or my siblings. I'll be free from this pain and misery. I'll be able to accomplish so much more without the distraction of fear or hesitation, no looming insecurities or running. I'll be blank for once. Free! So why am I still so hesitant to drink this potion? It'll erase my memory. I'll never think about this stuff again. I'll finish up my last year of high school and get into a good college become a famous scientist. I take a deep breath and with that I gulp down the entire potion.

"Goodbye Barney, goodbye my family!" I say. My eyes close and with that everything goes dark.
