fWhip's Perspective

The Next Day-

"N-no." fWhip cried.

But it was too late.

fWhip ran to his window to catch a glimpse of him as he flew off back to his home.

"Please." fWhip sobbed, curling up into a ball on the floor.

"P-please I have nothing. Y-you can't do this."

He didn't know who he was talking too but it didn't matter.

It was all wrong.

It was all ruined.

First his sister and now Sausage.

What was next?

He's lost too much.

He's broken.

He can't be fixed.

He's damaged beyond repair.

I thought Sausage was a good guy but no; he left me.

fWhip cried and shouted at himself.

If only Gem's stupid diary was updated, then I could know where the fuck she went.

He had nothing.

He was nothing.

Just then, there was a tapping noise.

"N-no."

The tapping noise continued.

fWhip looked over to his window and saw an owl.

fWhip's eyes widened.

That's Gem's owl!

He sprung up and let the owl in.

He grabbed the letter and tore it open.

'Dearest brother,
I can't leave. I can't send any more letters either. It's too risky. Tom got replaced by a different dungeon guard named Sir Ortiz and he sucks. He won't leave us; he shouts at me for crying and when Oli tries to stand up for me, he gets hit in the face. We can't leave the dungeon now and my wand and spell books were taken away to Everett's castle. I think he's going to look at them and try to use them. Everett is trying to get me to use magic to make him more powerful, but I won't talk. He's also trying to find out where I came from. I have a list of lies I can use, and I have a theory on how to stop Everett. I don't need help, I think I'll be back soon (fingers crossed) with Oli, Tom, and Trissa. Hopefully some others as well. Everything's okay, I got it from here. I miss you and my friends, but I can't leave. I can't leave people in a rough state just to better myself. I know to you this sounds crazy but trust me, I know what I'm doing. I don't know when I'll be free, but I don't need help. Don't come or you'll get caught and thrown in a cell like me and Oli. Stay healthy and don't worry about me. Also don't send any more owls, Trissa said that Everett is getting suspicious and is starting to roam the owl barn now. Say hi to Sausage for me!
Much love,
Gem.'

fWhip's tears landed on the letter and made the ink run.

Gem's owl flew out of Grimlands and towards Crystal Cliffs, like it knew it shouldn't return to Gem.

fWhip was confused but also worried.

Dungeon.

His sister was in a dungeon.

With a guard who abused them.

And she's staying and fighting the pain for her new friends instead of going back to her original friends and brother.

She's risking her life for these people.

Trissa Tom and Oli.

fWhip assumed that Everett must be the corrupt king.

fWhip then got up, incredibly weak, and he flew off towards Rivendell.

He needed to talk to someone about this.

-

fWhip was pacing outside of Scott's home.

He was just about to knock when,
"fWhip?"

fWhip turned around and saw Scott.

"What are you doing- "

"Scott!" fWhip ran over to him, "It's Gem."

Scott's expression turned to shock, and he led fWhip inside.

-

"-and her diary stopped a month before she left. She mentions the trip and what she's going to bring and what not, but there's nothing about where she went." fWhip explained.

Scott nodded, looking at Gem's recent letter.

He looked horrified at what Gem was saying.

"A dungeon?!"

fWhip nodded sadly.

Scott then shook his head.

"Alright, that's it. fWhip, I want you in my empire tomorrow at 10."

"Why?"

Scott didn't answer and instead ran upstairs and started writing on 11 different rolls of parchment.

When he finished, he said, "Help me carry these."

They ran over to the owl barn and Scott started sending owls off in different directions.

"Will you fill me in on what you're doing now?"

"A meeting with every empire. Bring all the letters and Gem's diary to it, we're going to try and find her."

fWhip smiled sincerely at Scott and he started crying again.

Scott, who had never seen fWhip cry before, awkwardly patted fWhip's back.

"I'm s-sorry. Today's just n-not my d-day." fWhip said, taking a deep breath.

"That's okay." Scott said, "We all have those. And I know now you've been on edge with Gem."

fWhip nodded sadly.

He wanted to tell Scott about Sausage, but it was too soon.

His heart cracked just at the thought of him.

Normally if he had a problem he would go to Gem or Sausage.

But now he had no one.

-

fWhip flew home and crashed onto his bed.

He threw down the picture that was on his bedside table and he grabbed Gem's letters and diary.

The picture frame collided with the ground and crashed.

Glass flew everywhere.

The picture ripped.

He didn't care though.

It would just cause him pain to try and clean it up.

fWhip stepped over the glass and got a bag ready that had the letters and diary.

He then opened his door.

"Bridget!"

A girl who had auburn red hair that was in a ponytail, a black dress that had a red apron on it, and a scared expression appeared.

"Will you clean up the glass?" fWhip gestured to the broken picture.

Bridget looked disgusted but nodded.

"And then will you make dinner?" fWhip asked, watched as she took a rag and scooped up the glass.

Bridget sighed and nodded.

"Er- fWhip, would you like this photo?" She asked awkwardly, picking up the ripped photo.

fWhip, without looking at it said, "No. I don't need him- er- it anymore."

He then left the room.

He felt a bit bad for Bridget since he was now ordering her to do stuff instead of asking her nicely.

But he didn't care.

Nothing mattered.

"Oh and." fWhip added, standing at the door frame, "If you see any photos of me with Sausage, get rid of them."

Bridget hesitated but bowed and said,
"Of course, sir. May I ask what- "

"You saw what happened. You saw him storm out and leave me miserable. You heard what he said to me."

Bridget looked uncomfortable but before she could say anything, fWhip left.

"fWhip, we all want to help you, but we can't deal with you when you're like this! I've been trying to help you, but you won't accept it! You just go on and stress yourself out. You've changed fWhip. And not in the good way. I can't live with you when you're like this."

fWhip shook his head, trying to get rid of Sausage's voice and the horrible tone that he used.

A tear ran down his face and he started to take deep breaths.

Nothing worked.

It was as if the world was against him.

Who knew how much you could lose in one, simple day?

Missing sister? Well guess what now your boyfriend's left you and you've found out that your sister is in a dungeon.

fWhip sighed as he sat down at the big table in the dining room.

Normally he had dinner with Gem or Sausage.

But now it was empty.

Empty just like he was now.
