The Unknown Art Trio- Aly's Profile

Part 3

Aly POV 

Darkness.

Silence.

All I see is black.

All I hear is silence.

Is this what dying feels like?

I can feel myself slipping, I try holding on, but I don't see the point.

I give up.

I'm sorry.

"Hey A"

Pastel? I can hear her, it's quiet but I can hear her!

"I don't know if you can hear me"

Yes, I can hear you, Pasy. I can! I tried to speak, move, do anything, but nothing happened.

"We really need you here. Dust needs you. Your brothers need you! I need you!"

I can hear the desperation and all I want to do is hug her. But all I can do is listen.

"I know you're strong and you can do this. Because you can do anything! We need you, sis! Stay strong, ok?"

I'm not strong, I can't do this, I'm sorry Pastel, Dream, Nightmare, Cali, Poppy, Dust... I don't think I can do it.

I feel her move and cuddle close to me, that feels nice.

Silence again.

Dust POV 

I was in my room after Pastel and Cross were teasing me about Aly. My cheekbones were still burning, yes, I like her. Yes, I know she is Nightmares' little sister! That's why I know I probably could never do anything with her. Not like she would like me though, who would like a murderer that kills his au including his brother. I can't be any good for her, she deserves the world, she deserves someone who isn't a murderer.

After a while, I hear a loud commotion from downstairs then a phone ringing. I ran downstairs to see Nightmare answering it. "Hello, Cali, Woah, hey slow down, calm down. Aly's WHAT" and then he was gone. Pastel tried picking up the phone but obviously, Cali hung up. What's wrong with Aly? Is she hurt? Is she ok? What if - I stop when I feel arms wrap around my waist. I look down and see Pastel who seems twice as terrified, I get it Aly is like her older sister. "Hey Dust come on Aly is strong, she will be ok Dust!!" She tells me hugging tighter to which I half-smile before rubbing her head and walking to the kitchen.

After a while of pacing, I walk out to the lounge room just as Nightmare and Dream come running in yelling commands. I see Aly unconscious in Nightmare's arms, but before I can even get close to her the door to her room slams. I JUST WANT TO SEE HER! I knock lightly on the door and Dream answers "Dust, I'm sorry you can't come in" before shutting the door once more. No NO NO! I have to go, I have to leave, I can't be here. I mumble to the guys and Pastel that I'll go take a walk before slamming the door open.

I don't know how long I walked or where I was. I just needed to clear my head. What if she doesn't wake up? What if she dies? I can't. I need to see her. Talk to her. I need her. After more walking, I give up and decide just to go back to the castle. I teleport back and slam the door open and run up the stairs to my room before slamming my door shut, ignoring the protests of Horror, Killer and Cross. I don't know where Pastel and Cali went, Cali probably went home while Pastel I'm not sure.

There's a knock on the door followed by the voice of Horror asking if I was ok. I stayed silent too scared to speak, after a few minutes I heard him give up with a sigh and leave back downstairs. I felt a drip and looked at my hands. I'm Crying!?! I haven't cried in ages, but I couldn't stop.

Not long after I realised, I fell asleep. I slowly woke up and went downstairs, not seeing anyone around. I slowly crept towards Aly's room, opening the door. I need to see her. On the bed, I saw two figures Aly... and Pastel. Both asleep, I sit on the other side of Aly, careful not to disturb either from their slumber. I hold onto Aly's hand before deciding to try speaking to her, I know she probably won't hear it, but I want her to know I'm here.

"Hey Songbird, heh haven't said that in a while. I don't know if you can hear me, hell, I don't even know what happened." I breathe out before continuing "I need you to do something for me Songbird. I need you to be ok because we need you. Your brothers. Cali. Poppy. Pastel. I need you too." I feel the tears flowing freely from my eyes by now. "I r-really ne-ed you to b-be ok A, Stay strong. "I wiped my tears and squeezed her hand while bringing it up to my mouth where I lightly kissed it before I let go and stood up.

"Please Aly. Don't Give Up. I need you."

Aly POV

Why am I still here?

No one wants me.

I should just go.

"Hey Songbird, heh haven't said that in a while."

What- Songbird? Dust!?!

"I don't know if you can hear me, hell, I don't even know what happened."

I hear him take in a deep breath whilst sitting on the other side of me and grabbing my hand, whilst Pastel is still curled up asleep on my right.

"I need you to do something for me, Songbird. I need you to be ok because we need you. Your brothers. Cali. Poppy. Pastel. I need you too."

Do they need me? I feel tears trying to make their way down my face but nothing.

Silence.

Darkness.

I hear a sniffle from Dust. Is he crying?!? No, I don't want him to cry!

"I r-really ne-ed you to b-be ok A, Stay strong."

I feel the bed move before I feel my hand make contact with his mouth. Did he just kiss my hand?!?

He moved away from the bed, opening the door.

I presumed he had left.

"Please Aly. Don't Give Up. I need you."

He was gone.

No! NO! I can't give up!

I need to see them! I need to wake up!

They need me...
