16. remorse

firey

this doesn't feel so painful anymore.
either there's less people beating me to death,
or i've just become numb to the pain.

probably the latter.

i manage to push my teammates off, allowing me some breathing room. i quickly glance at my surroundings before i'm pummeled into the dirt again.

rose-standing on the sidelines. watching. doing nothing like the fragile plant it is.

i cough up blood as clock kicks me in the chest.

cake-trembling, crying, begging.
...why?

needle punches me in the stomach. i notice loser back cake into a corner. i can hear him pleading.

"l-loser... please don't-please, please, PLEASE! FIREY, HELP ME!"

i kick eggy off of me and reach towards my hair.

this is my chance to take out one more person! i just got to get over there as soon as possible.

i try to pick myself up to run towards loser, but i trip just before his feet. the rest of the infected losers start dragging me by the ankles, enough time for loser to realize i was targeting him, and enough time for him to fight back. i keep my arm poised as he inches just close enough for me to-

loser's rose goes up in flames and he blacks out. i try moving the fight in the opposite direction so rose won't realize two of its minions are gone. i set my hand on fire again, this time targeting clock. rose seems to notice this instead, and it directs a vine directly to my wrist, wrapping around it and creating a deadlock with my hand.

"i am NOT letting you get another person! i'm letting you get what you DESERVE!" rose picks me up by the wrist and throws me against a tree. my body slams into the trunk with great force, and a jolting pain phases through my arm.

oh. my. spark.
rose just broke my arm.

i let out a cry of anguish as i fell to the ground.
it's still not enough-i apparently deserve even more beatdowns-because when i open my eyes, i see the rest of the losers charging straight towards me. between them, i barely catch a glimpse of cake and loser running away.

at least i saved them. i just got to hope they'll save me.

i return my focus to the losers sprinting towards me.
with the little energy i have, i brace myself. but after a few seconds of not feeling anything, i let my arms down.

"move," rose commands them. the group splits down the center, and it walks between them. it looks down on me for a moment, then smirks. "you look so pathetic, hunched up like a coward." rose bends down and picks me up by the collar, examining the scars and bruises plastered all over my face.

it smiles wickedly.
i look back at it.
i can feel the blood flowing down my chin.

"leafy," i breathe. "what happened to you..."

rose glares at me, processing what i had just said. its face goes through several emotions before finally landing on a remorseful look. i notice its eyes flash a recognizable green before reverting back to red. rose scowls at me again. it lets go of me, letting me fall to the ground with a thud.

"i could kill you right now," rose remarks, "but someone thinks it'd be better to just watch you suffer."

i hear footsteps in the distance. rose must've heard it too, because it began to turn and move in the other direction, leaving me behind. i'm too weak to get up and find help.

i hope loser and cake come soon...
