Dead Angels for a Prince Ghost

Chapter 4 : Can't forget it

==> Be Eridan Ampora.

When you opened your eyes again, everything had disappeared. The sky over your head has been replaced by a greenish ceiling, at the place of the angel corpses lied multiple bee hives, and at your feet, there was nothing more than wires. You kept quiet, starring at your surroundings. They felt strangely comforting. Maybe if you starred at them long enough you will  forget your death.

The ringing tone of trollian get you out of your thoughts before you could however. You turn back, noticing Sollux sitting in front of his computer. Was he here since the beginning? In any case, he was really quiet, because you didn't even paid attention. Now that you're thinking about it, it was pretty obvious that you were in his respiteblock. You know only one troll owning bee hives after all.

You approached him, looking at the screen over his shoulder. He was talking with Aradia. You blinked a few time, thinking to move away before remembering that he could probably not see you. In this case he certainly wouldn't complain if you stayed here to read whatever they could be talking about.

However the computer decided otherwise. It froze as soon as you approached it, but the few lines remaining on the screen was enough for you to understand. Those few words felt like a punch in your stomach. Even if you already had lost any hopes and barely thought that someone could actually revive you, having the confirmation that you were already screwed from someone else was more painful than what you expected. You backed away, taking handfuls of your hair at each sides of your head, tugging at it like if it would sooth your pain somehow. Even if you couldn't feel physical pain anymore, it seemed that it remained a strong thing emotionally speaking. And you hated that.

Before you could even notice it, you were floating at a few inches above the floor, curled into a ball, sobbing. Your purple tinted tears were rolling one by one to your chin, evaporating as they fell.

"I'm dead. Dead. Fuckin' DEAD"

your weak mumbles grew louder each time, and you completely forgot about the other troll until you heard him cursing. You lifted your head, your watering eyes wide as you saw him starring at you. For a second you really thought he could see you, but he just turned back to his computer screen.

You watched him, still crying quietly. He remained there a little bit more, before standing up and heading out of the room, passing through you as he did. That felt... really weird.

"Ugh.. Tho cold in here.." Sollux lisped behind you, rubbing his arms to warm himself up.

Now that you were thinking about it, yeah, you were really cold. You tried to curl up in your cape to warm you up as well, but it didn't had much effect.
