Karl's POV
I knew what was about to happen. What events would happen as a cause. People would die if we weren't fast enough. It would be my fault.
I was running as fast as I could down the prime path, I needed to get to the Egg. Then I saw Badboyhalo, Antfrost and Punz all walking down the path away from the spawner. I was too late. I have failed.
I picked up my speed and threw myself down the spider spawner's entrance and ran towards the Egg.
"Karl! Karl you have too help me." Nikki shouted at me as I got closer too the Egg
Y/n lay there eyes shut and her mouth open in a silent scream as she thrashed around and then she froze her mouth shut and she later still. The vines began getting tighter around the girl and you could see that she was now struggling to breath
"We need to cut the vines off her" Nikki told me as i pulled out a small dagger and began cutting them off Y/n.
Y/n's skin, specifically where the vines had been was now beginning to turn a dark purple almost red colour then she started speaking.
"You can't just hurt people who have a different opinion to you Schlatt" She said quietly
"Schlatt? Why is she saying his name?" Nikki asked worriedly
"She's getting her memories back" was all I could muster up to reply, knowing she was going to have to relive all the pain and betrayal.
"Why is she talking to Schlatt then?" Nikki asked still confused
"Cause I don't want you too hurt anyone else but if I get hurt no one would give a fuck!" Y/n said speaking louder and clearer now
"Oh y/n it's okay your gonna be okay" Nikki said whilst I cut the last vine from around her waist "we would care if someone hurt you. Just try and relax."
"She's reliving her memories" I explained softly as I gently picked up y/n
"But that means that Schlatt's hurting her again!" Nikki whisper shouted at me
"I know, I tried to stop it Nikki I really did but I couldn't" I tried to explain as we came to the spawners exit
"Your a real dickhead you know that?" Y/n said. It was strange it's like she's speaking to us in her normal sounding voice not louder or quieter just normal yet she was still laid in my arms unconscious.
"You tell him y/n" I said softly then I looked down and she had tears falling down her face she let out a few sighs of pain.
"Where are we taking her?" Nikki asked as we where just walking along the prime path and not really in a certain direction.
"her house or maybe Tommy's?" I replied
All of a sudden y/n let out a scream of pain scaring me making me almost drop her. Nikki ran over checking too see if she was hurt anywhere other than the vines marks. "It's just her scars and the marks nothing else is different" Nikki says as we neared Y/n's house and saw Sam running towards us from the prison
"Please don't hurt me anymore" the girl in my arms whimpered sounding broken as she did.
"Y/n I won't hurt you okay it's gonna be okay we're almost at your house" I explained as Sam got to her front gate the same time as us.
"What happened? Is y/n okay?" Sam asked worried about why there was a beat up woman in my arms begging not to be hurt anymore. "Pass her here" he said sternly clearly not trusting me with her.
"Oh course" I said as I passed her to him.
"What happened?" He asked looking between me and Nikki
"Let's go inside and get her somewhere more comfortable first." Nikki said opening the gate for Sam and i to walk through.
"No,no,no leave him alone I'll drink your potions. Pass it here" Sam didn't even move when she started speaking but instead laid her down in the sofa gently and sat next to me on the opposite sofa.
"Where's Puffy?" Nikki asked taking a seat next to y/n
"I don't know" Sam replied as I nodded in agreement "so what happened and what potions is she on about"
"Well we think she's getting her memories back" I said looking at the unconscious girl next to Nikki "but she's reliving them"
"Okay, how can we help her? I mean we know that she doesn't have very nice past." Sam explained
"I think she's with Schlatt." Nikki said quietly
"What do you mean?" I asked
"She said his name earlier and well she would definitely remember him." Nikki begins to trail off
"Why would she remember him instead of anyone else though?" Sam asked and I looked down at my hands knowing how it had happened in Manberg
"When Schlatt was president, Well y/n didn't want him to hurt anyone so instead he took her anger out on her and well...you know the scars on her neck and back? He gave her them." Nikki sighed reliving the memory "I remember when he came to my bakery once and saw her with the scar on her neck and said that even when he dies he'll always be remembered because of her scars."
"So he never hurt anyone else?" Sam asked sadly
"No, once he went to hit Quackity but y/n pushed him out of the way and took the hit herself." I told him
"And no one did anything?" Sam sounded angry now
"We did! We tried to at least, after she took the hit instead of Quackity y/n and Schlatt didn't leave the White House for just over 3 days. She wasn't the same when she left so we sent her away to find Wilbur and Tommy, everyone in Manberg agreed it was the best for her." Nikki defended
"But you all just left her with Schlatt that day! Knowing what would happen to her!" Sam shouted at them
"I'm good thanks no Dad's not here and he also kinda doesn't know I'm here either?" Y/n spoke in her memories as well as to us on the outside. Then I had an idea
"Guys I think I can help her but you need to trust me, okay?" I said standing up and walking over to y/n
"Wait Karl let's talk about your idea first" Nikki said but I'd already picked up y/n and was walking towards the door
"Karl you can't just take her." Sam said standing up
"But I can help her" I replied opening the front door
"At least tell us where you are taking her!" Nikki pleaded as I thought for a second before sighing
"We're going to the Inbetween"
