Opposite Blue

Chapter 55 - Woke

Dream's View:
I rushed up the stairs and realised just how dark the house was. I used my soul to light up the area.

* INSANE YOU BETTER COME HERE RIGHT NOW!

• Behind you~

I quickly turned around, spawning my bow and arrow.

• I won't hurt you, don't worry...

* Why do you have Outer?! Trapping him in a dark room and poisoned was NOT part of the deal. Let him out now.

• Whatever, The door's unlocked now, have fun saving him. Once you take him, get out.

Killer pushed the door open and tilted Outer to the left. I rushed down and saw the discharge coming from Outer's mouth. I got my phone out and called Blue.

( * Hey, what's up? )

* Can you get to the medical room right now? I'm bringing Outer-

( * What if the others find out?? )

* I don't care, this is an emergency! Call Sci as well please!

( * Alright, quickly. )

Killer opened a portal and we carried Outer through and put him on a hospital like bed.

* I..how do we stop a seizure?!

* I don't know Killer, Sci is on his way...

* Blue I couldn't give two flying fucks if you don't care about him, but I do.

* I know Killer...but there's really nothing we can-

* I'm here, I'm here!

Sci dragged a suitcase through his portal and zipped it open before grabbing medication and injecting it into Outer.

* Do you know what the poison was called? Outer's medical history?

We shook our heads.

* I can only stabilise him for so long before I can't. But until then, I'll start trying to figure out what exactly is causing this.

I looked at Killer and he was worried sick, but kept a strong face.

* Killer we can stay and look after Outer, go to his house and see if you can find anything to help with his medical history. Okay?

He nodded and teleported away.

7pm

Cross's View:
The twins and I decided to make dinner for everyone and it was nice spending quality time with my kids. I took the last batch of cookies out and used magic to cook them off completely. Bloom used her amazing artistic skills to pipe fun designs on them using icing of many colours. Dream and Blue came down and helped us lay the food out on the big dining table.

The rest came and sat down and we all dug into the food. Jammy and Lux were practically playing with their food and Nightmare was multitasking between bottle feeding Navy and eating his own dinner. The rest were chatting away, giving jokes, giggling...the usual. But Nightmare's silence was terrifying.

* You alright there Nightmare?

He glared at me for a bit.

* Mhm, just waiting for two things to happen.

* And those two things are..?

Navy finally burped, some of the milk leaking all over his bib.

* That.

* Pfft, and?

* Oh and I'm waiting for Dream to tell me he brought Outer back into the house. Are you seriously still under his magic or something??

* I'm not under the influence of his magic at all Nightmare! You don't understand the situation.

* I don't care, he's not welcome back after what he did.

Dream looked at me.

* I'm sure there's a good explanation Nightmare.

* Insane gave Outer a dangerously high amount of the poison. We've been spending the whole day try to control his seizures and black outs. He's starting he's better.

* But-

Blue shot a glare at Nightmare.

* Whatever, but he stays in that room.

Thank goodness Killer was upstairs and wasn't hearing this...

10pm

Killer's View:
I had found Outer's medical file and given it to Sci.

The entire was spent next to Outer, who woke up a few times only to black out again. His soul energy was down to 37%. Every time he has a seizure, his energy level would decrease by sound 10%...it broke me to see him this way. I was half awake when I heard a hand slamming on the table. My eyes shot open and I looked at Sci.

* Is everything okay..??

* Okay, I know which poison it is! I can get working on a cure but it'll take a few hours, hours that we don't have, so I need you, Dream's, and Blue's help.

We got to work.

Ink's View:
• Aww, why the pouty face, Inky?

I sat on his lap, feeling the awkward atmosphere.

* You and I both know why I'm not happy right now.

• Awh, but I don't..

* The carpet burn, Insane. Everything aches and I'm exhausted!

• That's why we're in bed, sweetheart. You can close your eyes and sleep on me Inky.

* As if I trust you near me when I'm asleep.

• You have no choice. If you don't be careful you might piss me off, it's not hard to go get Outer, they all hate him anyways.

If Insane knew anything, it was that I had a soft spot for Outer. He needed a friend, and I was willing to be that friend.

* Either way I won't say yes.

• Doubt that, you love our sex.

* I really don't.

I got off the lap and went to bed.

The Next Day...

2am

Killer's View:
I waited impatiently as the medicine went into Outer. It had been an hour and we needed to see if Sci's formula was the right one.

* Sci he hasn't moved a muscle and we started the drip an hour ago.

* The medicine is slow, we need to be patient. He had so many black outs and seizures, when he wakes up, I need to check his brain activity more than anything.

* Okay...

I held Outer's hand and waited.

Another hour passed by.

* He should start to wake up about now, his soul energy levels are above 85%.

I nodded and looked back at Outer.

* Mm...

Even though it would miniature, I heard it and so did Sci.

* Outer? Outer can you hear us? Squeeze the hand if you can hear us.

He squeezed my hand...before opening his eyes.
