You Don't Understand ~ A Scarian Fanfic

Chapter 18 - (Part 1)

3rd Person POV (Watchers Realm)

Grian was sitting on his purple laced bed, tired. Crossed legged he held his face in his hands. He had a long day working but also with meeting Scar and Cub earlier in the endless night. Grian had to share a room with Pearl his sister.

- Hey Gri, you ok? -

She questioned, he hadn't been looking good since Scar and Cub left.

- Fine just Fine! -

He said grumpily and annoyed. He obviously wasn't OK or Fine.

- Gri, you're not fine. Tell me what's up -

She walked over to her brother sitting in front of him, she wanted to make sure her brother was fine by the end of the "night".

- It's just... ugh, I can't explain it -

He groaned, something was bothering him completely.

- You are always capable of explaining things so explain -

Pearl said, slowly getting more and more annoyed. She hated how her brother would always find any loophole to not tell her. This time she was going to make sure he told her.

- Tell me Gri, don't try hiding it this time -

Another harsh sigh could be heard from him before he started to speak.

- I'm scared, I'm scared they're going to hurt Scar or anyone for that matter because I interacted with them. I just don't want them hurting anyone and I don't want them hurting you for my actions. You know what they do to us if we don't listen. -

Pearl nodded, All liked to order the listeners to chop other Watchers wings off if they misbehaved or broke any law or rule. Pearl suddenly grasped Grian tight. She didn't want to loose him and felt bad for all the pressure he was under because of Scar and Cubs random appearance.

- Pearl I'm scared -

He let out a breathy sob. Tears raced down his cheeks, they dripped off of his face into Pearls hair. The drips when a midnight blue, they matched Pearls hair.

- I know Gri, I know-

She whispered trying to calm her brother. She knew if any other Watcher had seen them talking to Cub and Scar that they would be severely punished. She let out a shaky breath before sitting up to wipe her brothers tears.

- It will be fine in the end, don't worry Gri. I know its tough for you and don't worry I'm here for you, I will do anything to help you -

She whispered softly.

Knock Knock Knock

- Shit -

3rd Person POV  (Overworld)

Scar, Cub and Xisuma were sitting in Scars room when they heard a knock on the door.

- Who could that be? -

Scar questioned, eyes slightly red from crying. Cub walked over to the door and opened it, revealing a stressed out Mumbo and Iskall.

- Mumbo, Iskall what a pleasant surprise. Why are you here? -

Cub asked.

- We haven't seen Grian and he isn't in his base and he isn't answering his communicator, we were hoping he'd be here considering -

Mumbo glanced over at Scar and back to Cub. Cub eyes widened, opening the door wider for Mumbo and Iskall to enter the living room.

- It's going to be a long one so come sit down. -

They entered, Scar and Xisuma appearing to see what the commotion was about. Their eyes suddenly widened to a tennis ball size, Scar grabbing Jellie, his cat as he walked past the kitchen. They all sat of the couch as Xisuma rushed back to the bedroom to grab the letter. Silently when Xisuma reappeared he pushed the letter over to Mumbo and Iskall to read for themselves. No words were exchanged until they had read the note over twice.

- He's... gone -

Mumbo whispered through his hand which was covering his mouth. Cub nodded as Scar rushed out the room dropping the cat on the table. Scar couldn't bare having to listen to Mumbo and Iskall talk about how Grian has left, he could barley even sit without knowing that Grian was gone without tears floating down. He rushed outside the front door, chucking himself onto the bench in the lush green garden. Xisuma soon appeared, sitting down next to Scar just silently comforting him.

- Scar, don't worry, we will get him back. Somehow but we will. -

Xisuma said comfortingly, he also missed Grian but they just had to look more optimistically than pessimistically. Xisuma didn't know how they would get Grian back but knew that there must be a way. He knew that his Admin power would most likely not help in getting him back but had an idea.

- Wait, I'll be right back -

Xisuma flew off hastily ready to try his plan out. Upset Scar helplessly watched Xisuma fly off before calming himself down and walking back inside where Cub was comforting the 2 Architects. Cub not realising Scar was back.

- Iskall, Mumbo, there is a way we can get him back but it could involve someone... dying -

Cub semi-whispered, still mot realising Scar was back. The 2 Architects looked at each other before going to speak.

- I can k- -

- I'll do it -

Iskall was in the middle of talking when Scar cut in. Iskall was going to sacrifice himself but Scar decided he would.

- Scar, you're not doing it -

Cub strongly spoke, he didn't want to loose his brother after everything.

- if there is any chance of someone surviving it would be me considering I have Vexling magic, Iskall has none -

Scar confidently replied with. He had a point, Iskall was well just Iskall, nothing that special unlike Scar who had the Vexling magic. Cub sighed before standing up.

- You 3 can talk this out, I'm going home -

Cub walked out the room, pushing his glasses up while swiftly walking. He looked like he was floating. The 2 Redstoners and the Builder just sat in silence for a minute or two before Iskall spoke up.

- Scar, he's done so much for me I might as we- -

- Iskall, you're being ridiculous. You have a extremely low chance of surviving. I have a better chance so why not just let me try, if I don't make it you can go in -

- now you both are being idiots, Scar I like the energy, same over there Iskall but please there must be a way around this. There has to be, other people have made it out.. right? -

Mumbo had a point, there must be a way around death or close to it.

Bang

The door flung open as Xisuma crashed into the house, panting.

- I found a way to get Grian home safely -

(1087 words, this is part 1 of chapter 18 because either realised it would be a long chapter. Yes I was hoping for 4-6k words for this but I can't put you through the pain of 1k words to 4-6k that's just painful. So this could be 4 parts if I feeling nice. I also write most of this on the bus to band (yes I play an instrument) 2 hours of travel you can't blame me. I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you Sunday!!
