*Yuma's Pov*

I rushed Y/n to the guest bedroom and put a warm wash cloth on their forehead. Arlo immediately curled up next to Y/n.

"What did they do to you Y/n?" I whispered.

"I...I'm not a monster..."

"Huh? Y/n...?" I hummed and gently grabbed their hand. It was ice cold.

"They seem to be in distress," Astral said. I jumped and looked up at him.

"How long have you been there?" I asked.

"Long enough to know that our friend is not doing okay," Astral sighed.

"Do you think there was more that we could of done?" I asked.

"I do not believe so... Y/n made there own choice to give themselves up for Hart," Astral said. Y/n gripped my hand tightly, turning my attention back to them.

"Mom... I... please... mmm," Y/n hummed.

"It's okay," I whispered and gently stroked Y/n's hair.

"You should get to bed, we still need to get your last heart piece tomorrow," Astral said.

"Yeah your right," I sighed. "Goodnight Y/n."

I headed up to my room and got comfy in my hammock.

Despite being worried about Y/n I was able to fall asleep.

*Normal Pov*

Beep

Beep

Beep

You opened your eyes but you couldn't see where you were.

"Damn it... the monster woke up..."

Monster...?

Was she talking about you?

"I...I'm not a monster..."

She scoffed.

"Of course you are do you have any idea what you did!?"

Your head was pounding...

"Mom... I... please..."

"Enough...!"

Her voice was drowning out.

Y/n...

Y/n...

Come back to us...

We miss you...

"I... I... miss you too... but..."

THUD

~~~

You gasped as you jumped awake.

Your heart was racing.

You looked around....

You were at Yuma's house.

When did that happen?

When did you get here?

Didn't you take Hart's place?

Your head was aching.

A whine cut you out of your thoughts.

"Arlo," you smiled. Arlo gently nuzzled you. "Do you know where Yuma went?"

Arlo jumped off the bed and walked over to the door.

You slowly got out of bed and followed after Arlo. You slowly made your way downstairs.
