Heritcraft Origins Part2-Wels and Hels

So this is Wels and Hels again. And maybe a bit of IJevin by I don't know yet.

Wels P.O.V.

Hels had been staying with me for a few days now. I have him the spare bedroom in my home, and so far everything had been going great. Well, almost everything. I was fresh out of ideas, and was beginning to get really bored. I was also avoiding the hermits a bit. I don't know if I was doing it subconsciously at first, but know it is definitely a conscious decision. Most of all though, I'm avoiding Jevin. It hurts a lot to do jt, even if he isn't really my soulmate, I definitely have a crush on him.

Hels had been helping me out with things, but right now we are just sitting in my room, playing a board game on the floor. We both had our wings and tail out, since Xb was the only person on the server right now and he loved far away from everyone else. We played like this into the night, before a big yawn from both of us simultaneously told us it was time to go to bed.

Hels went off to his room, while I walked over to my bed and lay down on top of it. I couldn't sleep for a while, but after about an hour I managed to drift off into an uneasy unconsciousness.

----------------------------------------------------

It was a server side meeting for all the hermits, discussing something I didn't know about yet. It was a while until all of the hermits were able to get on, and Xisuma commenced the meeting once everyone was here. "I have brought you here to this meeting today to address sightings of HelsKnight and concerns concerning these sightings." I suddenly grew very still in my seat, a nervous sweat running down my neck. "Now, we have no solid evidence concerning the fact of HelsKnignt returning to the server, but it is a possibility. Wels, do you have any information on the topic?" I expected Xisuma's question, but still wasn't quite ready for it.

"No." I responded the simplest way possible, to ensure that none of my nervousness snuck into my voice. Now, let's address the progress of every one on this server. He went through each name and what they've been doing, until he got to mine. Suddenly the atmosphere grew dark and a look of disdain or dislike appeared on each and every one of the hermits' faces. "So, Wels, why haven't you been doing anything on the server recently," Xisuma said. I knew ten for sure that this was a dream. Xisuma would never act like that in real life. But the words still fit deep.

T.W. -self harm, self deprecating thoughts.

I awoke to the nasty thoughts from my dream. Useless. You haven't done anything. Worthless. Why are you even on this server? I tried to banish the thoughts, but they just kept coming, relentless and ruthless. I knew this feeling. I had felt it a few times before. It was why I no longer allowed anyone to take off my armor, not even Hels. I think Hels is beginning to worry why I won't let him see under my armour, but there is now why I will willingly show him. And then the feeling comes. The inescapable urge to cause pain. I took off my armor and brought out my wings and tail.

Both had little class on the end, and you could see scare all over my arms from previous times I had done this. I tried to resist the urge, the need to cause pain, but I couldn't. I brought the class on my wings and slashed them in a line down my arm, blood welling up from the wound. It was a sickeningly sweet feeling, the blood running down my arm and into the floor. I brought my tail to my forearms and tore words into my skin. Worthless. Useless. One word on each forearm. When the pain finally came, it was a lot. I hissed as quietly as I could, so as not to wake Hels. I saw two notifications pop up on my communicator on the desk. IJevin joined the game. Xisumavoid joined the game.

Oh no, I thought. What if one of them comes to my base and sees me like this. I just have to hope they don't come, because that urge to cause pain is still there, inescapable as ever. I brought the claws on my wings to my skin again, forming an X with the lines I had created previously. This time I clenched my teeth and hissed louder, no longer able to keep in the pain. I knew Hels would probably be awake soon if I continued hissing like I was. I got the first aid kit from the drawer beside my bed, and took out the gauze and bandages. I scanned the gauze gently against the cuts to soak up the majority of the blood, before roughly wrapping the bandages around the length of my arms.

I hated having to do this again. This cycle of pain that I kept on having to return to. None of the hermits knew, and hopefully they never would. I rushed to put my armor back on as I heard slight footsteps from Hels's bedroom. I threw my pillow on top of the spot of blood on the ground, as if I had pushed it of my bed in sleep, and played down on my bed and pretended to be asleep. I knew I was just in time when I heard Hels slam the door open. I pretended to be asleep, while listening to him stalk around the room.

I could hear his tail slithering along the floor. I heard him sniffing the air too. why was he sniffing the air? "Wels, I know you're awake, now tell me where the smell of fresh blood is coming from." I bolted up as if I had just heard him, and laughed nervously. It was plainly obvious whatever I was about to say would be a lie. "Wait blood? Fresh? Where?". He sniffed the air again. "Wels, why do I smell blood under your armor." I laughed nervously again. I could never lie around my brother because I would always do that when trying to. "You must be mistaken. There's no blood under my armour." "Wels, I know you're lying. there's no point even trying with me, and you know that. Now take off your armour." Sighing in defeat, I slowly start to unbuckle and take off my armour. My body seemed to want to take as long as possible, and it took me a minute to get my chest-plate and tunic off. Hels gasped when he was the bloodied bandages that lay beneath.

" Wels, why? "

So I'm going to end it here because it's late and I have testing tomorrow.
