Two Sided (TS Book 1) [SEE PROFILE FOR DETAILS]

Chapter 20- Why?

"You really want to know why I'm doing this? Why I'm making you all suffer? Why I enjoy doing it?"

"Well, yes! That's why I've been asking you for the longest time..

"Fine. But you have to promise you won't give anything away, or I will do the unimaginable to you, your friends, and any or every human on this planet. And, just so know, I won't just kill them.. I'll make them suffer."

"Okay.. I promise. But what do I get in return?"

"I won't make anyone else suffer as badly as the first three.. and I'll actually give you some privacy and let you have your own choices from now on."

"Alright, fine-"

-Socks POV-

"Okay then.. Well, what is bothering you the most?"

I didn't know what to start with. The fact I have been in emotional pain the entire time or the mental pain. That Gulvic is hurting me or I'm hurting myself? I couldn't think of a single answer, so I just blurted out a mix of everything.

"Everything is bothering me Blaza. I can't think straight, Gulvic is tearing me down and apart until I'm nothing, and my head has been killing me ever since last night."

I paused for air, and I felt my eyes get watery again.

"I've been holding everything in because I don't want to worry you guys, but at the same time I know I need to vent. I'm hurting physically, mentally and emotionally. I barely understand anything about Gulvic, and I at least want to know his motivation so we can maybe change his mind."

Blaza didn't know what to say, but he ended up just hugging me. Out of reflex, my arms wrapped around him as well, and Gulvic wrapped his tentacles around him as well. I then just felt a weird feeling go through my body, and I closed my eyes. I opened them again, and I wasn't hugging Blaza anymore. In fact, no one was there. It reminded me of the Black Void situation with the Orange creature, except I could actually see where I was.

It was an open space, and it was colored a bright reddish-pink. I started to look around, and I saw what looked like a screen, an imprinted circle near it, and in the corner was a black mass. It looked stagnant, as it seemed frozen. I decided to ignore it and go near the screen. I walked up to it, and I saw what I was just seeing before I got to wherever I was. After about a minute of watching the screen and trying to make sense of what just happened, I heard a voice from behind me. It sounded similar to mine, only deeply distorted.

"Why hello, Socksfor1.. I would say long time no see but.. heh.. we both know that would be false.."

It sounded way too familiar until my mind caught up with me.

"Hey.. Gulvic.."

Gulvic paused for a second before continuing.

"You know.. Gulvic isn't really my original name."

"Well, I would think that. We kinda just gave the name to you.. specifically Nadwe.."

"Oh yeah.. that kid."

We both paused until I turned and asked,

"Well, what was it?"

Gulvic wasn't expecting me to ask, but he finally sucked it up. His took in a sharp inhale, and admitted in a sigh,

"Blaze. Blaze Angler Everlone. But now, I've come up with a new name, that you could consider a modified copy of the original.."

I interrupted,
