Burning blaze (a blazafor1 AU)

chapter 21 ~ the walk ~

Socks P.O.V

I woke up on the floor again, my head hurting. I kept thinking that I should just go back to my house, but I couldn't leave these guys alone in the same house. I can just go on a walk to get away from everyone for a bit.

I got up this time. I fell asleep in Laff's room. I had a blanket over me, and I had a pillow that they were more similar than they thought. Laff was still asleep, but he had his face turned to the wall and his gas mask on his bedside table. No one has ever seen his actual face. I was so tempted to flip him over. But no, that would be wrong of me to do to know his real identity.

I walked away and out of the room. "Where are you going," Tbh asked me as I headed towards the door. "Just going for a walk alone," I said to Tbh as I walked over to the door and left without another word.

I walked into the forest tears slowly fell down my face as memories flashed in my head of the area as I was walking I felt something sticky under my shoe I lifted it and it was this black goop it looked familiar but I can't remember I got it off my shoe and kept walking till I stumbled on a branch right next to a hill landed on my back and slid down on the slippery leaves.

I got up quickly to erase the memory that happened there from my head. I got up as quickly as I could. I dashed through the forest just to get out of it. As I was walking I took a small break just to notice that I was in front of my house. I walked into my house, and all the lights were off. I haven't been here for a month or two. I wasn't keeping count. I walked up into my room. I grabbed a backpack so I could have more than 2 outfits, especially since one was covered in blood. I grabbed 3 outfits and more socks. I zipped up the backpack and slid it onto my back, and I went swiftly, went down the stairs and out of the house so I could continue on my walk.

I walked further into the forest for about 30 minutes until I fell to the floor face-first. To see, I was in front of Blaza's house to see if the door was still broken, not fixed or replaced yet. I walked inside just to see the house empty, with no dust, no light, no furniture, just a wood floor and walls with a broken door.

I heard the door slam shut as I heard footsteps in front of me. I let my tentacles out to be shown. I had forgotten I had 8, and they glowed orange.

"I am not here to fight. I just want to talk," Umbra said as I looked him in the eyes."How did you close a door when the door was in splinters from me busting into it to see if Blaza was ok so ever so long ago," I asked Umbra.

"Well I am a shadow creator and that is not the same door it is a shadow door that well is pitch black and u would not suggest touching it, that would be a mess," Umbra said calmly.

"Are you alone," Umbra asked. "Yes," I said to him, knowing that I should have said no. "Well, I would like to make you a deal," Umbra said to me with a snake-like smile.

"What kind of deal, you demon," I asked him "Well one that you would most likely say yes to," he said to me with his mischievous smile. "Go on," I said so he would continue.

"What would you say if that every time you come into this house you get to see your, lovely boyfriend..." He paused as a tall puppet-like figure had a light shone on him. I gasped. "But you won't be here physically but your spirit will be and you will be able to talk to Blaza as long as you want but I will be able to use your body as a puppet because as you see he is very weak because all of his injuries from that one battle still," Umbra said to me.

"Are you crazy I would never let my body be used as a puppet just so I can talk to my boyfriend I would never let my body be used as a puppet," I yelled at Umbra.

"I thought that would work," Umbra said to me as he just stood there.
