{Chapter Twenty One}

/ Warning. Sorry, there won't won't be much fluff in this chapter :)
There will be mentions of body horror, detailed vomiting if any of you are sensitive to that.
I think that's about it.
Enjoy :D    /     /⚠️

Stars in his eyes,
the tall being stood up from the frosty grounds of his current front yard.
Moving so much had been stressful, but he put those feelings aside for Sabre.
A little human who had sadly wondered into this hellish realm, and was forced into the drama that lied within it.
The word 'drama' was an understatement, in fact the said drama caused Sabre physical harm, trauma that would never be unseen by the small human.
This full grown adult man, in his mid twenties, was placed into a world of nightmares, imagined by a child.
At least, that's what it looked like at times.
These things were brutal, and desperate for Sabre's fresh, smooth and young flesh.
Like vampires, if it weren't for Rainbow Steve, he would have been eaten alive, but not before they tortured their prey.
Rainbow's eyes darted with worry across the grassy ground, thinking of all the horrific and inhumane things that would have been done to his friend.
As childish and fun as Sabre's demeanor seemed, his humor could be mature, dark.
Hid behind big eyes full of admiration, hopes and dreams, there was a terrified, small mortal.
Like everyone else in this world, well, mostly everyone.
He wanted to help, fix and bandage tragedy after tragedy.
But he couldn't stand up to these creatures, he just couldn't. Half of his face was torn off by one of them, not a very pleasing first impression..

Sabre awoke to the gentle creak of his bedroom door.
He shifted onto his side as a thin line of amber sunlight reached his eyes.
He yawned, sitting up.
"Rainbow..?"
Sabre's eyes slowly adjusted to the new light source.
That was not Rainbow Steve.
Sabre's eyes widened with terror as the creature jolted at his movement, rushing towards the little human with great speed and ill intent.
Sabre rolled off the bed swiftly, running over to the door, opening it fully before slamming it behind him.
"Sabre!! Wait!" A slightly muffled familiar voice called out.
Sabre stopped in his tracks, whipping his head around back towards the door.
Rainbow's appearance had changed before, but not like this.
This.. Thing.. Whatever it was, couldn't possibly be Rainbow, right?
Was much taller, slouched over.
Sabre thought back, his head spinning as his mind thought back to the details of the being.
Black messy hair looked as if it had been scorched, its face, no entire body, had several third degree burns. It's body was boney, yet somehow had a muscular torso and arms. Claws like daggers..
And its eyes.. Its eyes were white, bloodshot.
No pupils. Just just bloodshot orbs in that thing's head.
Sabre's stomach churned, he felt disgust, before worry.
The raspy voice spoke once more, "Sabre.. Please.... I'll let you open the door, okay? I'm not going to hurt you, I promised I'd keep you safe."
Sabre's worry grew.
That had to be Rainbow.
Sabre was hesitant, but walked back over to the door.
He stood in front of it, his heart racing.
"You there..?" "Ye-yeah...? Rainbow.. What happened?"
"I'll let you know in a bit.. Just.. Open the door please.."
Sabre's shaky hand wrapped around the knob slowly, "Come on.. You can do it, it's okay."
The knob turned, and the raspy voice said, "There we go.. So close.."
Sabre pulled door opened, and the creature lunged forward, Sabre's arm recoiled back to his chest, and he ran down the stairs. Sabre nearly tripped as the creature, now on all fours, was crawling down the steps like house cat.
Such deformation was not natural.
The bones cracked, and the creature's face..
An unnaturally large grin stretched across it, dark bloody foam seeped from the sides of the mouth.
It groaned and growled, reaching for Sabre any way it could.
The spine was visibly shattered, peices of it pushed up against the back skin.
Its veins pulsed with a dark ooze. Sabre ran outside,
tears in his eyes.
He had never seen something so fucking horrific in his life.
Looked like something out of a horror movie.
Sabre gagged, catching his breath as a Steve sprinted hurriedly towards him.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, watering the plants below him.
He choked, before vomiting violently on the grass below him. His throat burned has hot tears fell down his face.
His jaw tense, his whole body was tense.
His leftovers and stomach acid fell threw his lips, chunks of half digested meat were coughed out as well.
His knees buckled beneath him and he fell, he was caught, and held up.
Sabre choked again, trying to catch his breath.
Fear overwhelmed him once more and he continued regurgitate yesterday's meals.
Several other Steves rushed to Sabre's side, rubbing his back and holding his shivering weak body. Once they suspected he was done, they wiped the leftover puke from his chin, taking him inside.
Before Sabre passed out, a blurry figure crawled out of the front door of Rainbow's house in the corner of Sabre's eye.
Sabre couldn't get a word out, he was to tired to speak.
His eyes closed, and the words of comfort the Steves offered faded away from his ears.
