Reborn with red//Sky oc story [on hold]

The continuation//Chapter 2

Clay's POV
I woke up with a weird pain in my chest, I then remembered what had happened yesterday and I shuddered. I could still feel the feeling of getting thrown into the wall....and when the rocks pierced through me...and..-

I quickly shook of the feeling, not wanting the remember anything more.
I looked to my side seeing Chin still sleeping, I sighed, smiling softly before looking at the clock in my room '4:53am'.....early, way to early then normal, I got up being careful to not make any sudden and reckless movements as I knew it would only hurt me after what had happened yesterday. I changes from my semi-bloody clothes to new and fresh ones, I then proceeded to walk out of my room walking slowly to the kitchen expecting no one to be awake, but...

There sat Grace, with a cup of coffee being lost in her thoughts, looking tired as hell. Even more tired then what i usually am. "Oh, good morning grace, why are you up this early?" Grace quickly looked up, scaring me slightly by her sudden and fast movements. "O-oh Clay, your awake...you should be resting" my worried face turned into one of a 'are ya kidding me?' face, I walked over to Grace sitting besides her putting my hand on her shoulder asking "what happened and why haven't you slept for more then 1 hour?" She again, quickly looked at me with surprise in her eyes "W- how did you know I haven't?-" "Grace, If anyone here would know how someone looks like after 1 hour of sleep, it would be me and Toast. So tell me, why haven't you gotten the amount of sleep you need?" I asked her, worry clear on my face. Grace looked down at her cup, before starting to cry. I was quick to hug her, even if it hurt me moving that quickly "hey hey, it's ok grace, what happened? Why are you feeling like this?" I asked while comforting her "I- I was just thinking- a-about yesterday I- you....you could've died Clay! If I would've done anything wrong or if we hadn't been able to get back home in time, you could've died in our arms, cracked with rocks growing out of you...we would've needed to throw your body into Eden, so the infection wouldn't grown more rocks any where else.." I froze.... what she said is true, I had a higher chance of dying then living yesterday.. many sky kids who get infected by the red rocks or darkness for that matter, don't survive. They either turn to food for the infection, or darkness people who have to feed themselves sky kid light to try and prevent the infection from spreading, or....they just die, cracked and infected. I'm lucky I didn't die, I'm lucky to have some people like my friends, who know what to do, and always try to stay calm when something near this happens. "Hey hey, look at me Grace, I'm fine, see! You saved me, you helped me when I needed your help, without you, I would've died, please don't look at the negative sides of this! Look at the bright side, you did the procedure of removing red rocks from my core, that's something only a very skilled person can do! Please don't lose sleep over something that might've happened, instead, look at the things that did happen! Now give me one of those smiles your so famous for!" Grace started to smile again, I chuckled before starting to tickle her, making her laugh her contagious laugh all of us adored. "There you are! That's the Grace we all know and love!" I laughed out.

Toast's POV
I woke up by hearing a loud laughter echo through the halls of our house, I walked out of my room and looked into Clay's room to see if Chin was tickling him since he does that sometimes-
But all I found was a newly awoken and confused Chin in their bed (smirky smirk) "good morning Chin, you know where the laughter is comi-" I was interrupted by both of us hearing Grace yell "Clay stop your going to wake the others up! Pfft- hahahah!" She proceeded to laugh right after she has said that. Me and Chin looked at each other before slowly starting to walk to the kitchen and main room "I don't care! At least they can join me in this tickle fight you will lose!" Me and chin walked into the main room seeing Grace on the floor with Clay on top of her tickling the living spirit out of her "oh ho! I am soo joining in in this!" Chin exclaimed running over and also proceeding to tickle Grace "w-wait no- Chin don- pffffttt-" while Grace was dying on the floor I went over and made us breakfast, even though I really really wanted to join, I couldn't since then grace might actually die.
"Alright alright you children stop before you kill her" I chuckled watching them all stop and Grace finally being able to catch her breath.  "Heh..heh.. thank you Toasty" Grace breathed out smiling. They all got up and sat down at the table beaming like small children about to get candy, Grace having small bags under her eyes but it was nothing to worry about, I finished making the sandwiches I had prepared for us and sat down in front of them and next to Grace. We quickly exchanged smirks while looking at Chin and Clay talking to each other smiling like children. I leaned closer to Grace whispering "they so TOTALLY got crushes on each other" Grace giggled before replying with "yah, it's almost sad on how oblivious they are on that fact though, but at the same time funny because we get to tease them about it" I let out a small laughed getting the attention of both Clay and Chin "what are you guys laughing about?" Chin asked raising her brow slightly "nothing nothing, don't worry about it guys" Grace said while smirking, Clay being the one seeing it as well as me "OH FOR THE ELDERS SAKE GRACE CAN YOU GO ONE MORNING WITHOUT SMIRKING AT ME AND CHIN BEING SOCIAL WITH EACH OTHER!?" we all broke out laughing after Clay's out burst, him eventually joining as well.
