Chapter 7

Blood dripped slowly from his nose, ending up staining the carpet of the makeup room. Veneer laid on the floor, proped up against the wall. This way, he wouldn’t choke, but either way, it still hurt like hell. Glass protruded out from the side of his face leaving Scarlet streaks falling from the top of his head. Veneer blinked at Velvet. She had done something like this before but never to this extent. Velvet still looked furious. She lifted the roller skates that was still coated with his blood, and lifted it. Veneer braced for her to throw it at him but she didn’t, and instead let out a growl of fury and threw it at the wall. Veneer flinched as it left a streak of blood on the wall.

"Next time, take the hint and shut up." She kicked his leg causing him to wince. Velvet rolled her eyes and looked out the door before actually leaving incase a cleaner was in the hallway. Once she left, Veneer sat up, bent his head forward and spat out blood which had gone all over his mouth before. He lay himself down onto floor, too weak to stay up any longer. Why would she do that..? He was only telling the truth!

The troll Floyd, who was still stuck in the glittery diamond perfume bottle, had watched the entire thing pushed himself against the bottle and fell forward rolling towards Veneer. Floyd hit the chest of drawers just next to his head and called his name, "Veneer! Are you alive?!" He shouted. Veneer nodded with the amount of strength left which was only a little. He was super frightened. Never had he seen anyone smash a roller skate into their siblings face or body especially as violent as that.

The blood dripped from his head and face, his body shaking badly. He heard a quiet knock then a familiar voice from the other side. It felt like forever since Velvet had done this and he was super light headed. "Veneer? Velvet? Anyone of you are you in there?! I heard screaming!" It was Kidritz. Veneer's face lit up and he called out to him, in a weak croaky voice "Yeah..! I'm in here.." He coughed loudly as the interviewer spoke again.

"Are you okay? Can I come in?" Veneer immediately wanted to refuse, no one would want to see him like this but.. Kidritz was different. ".. Yeah.." The door handle was pushed down and the door opened slightly.

Veneer pushed his head forward and up, and he saw Kidritz's horrified expression. He ran in and kneeled beside him. "Oh my gosh! Are you alright, why are you bleeding?! And.." He had noticed Floyd. "Why is there a troll there?!" It seemed all too much for Kidritz to process. Veneer had stopped moving, his body hurt.

Kidritz gently took his left cheek in his hand and instinctively Veneer's hand grabbed his wrist. His face hurt, glass shards had stabbed into his skin. "Sorry.. can you tell me who did this? And where's Velvet?" Veneer shook his head and slowly let go off his wrist allowing him to touch his face. Although it hurt, the touch was gentle and he could handle that. "I'm going to get help okay?" But, he was pulled down again by Veneer's struggling hands and he shook his head, "No.. stay with me please.." He mumbled the words and he looked at Veneer sympathetically. He smiled and nodded, sitting back down.

Although, it wasn't really the time seeing Veneer holding his hand caused a deep red blush appear on his face. He looked at the troll confused still on why it was there but it didn't look at him, just at Veneer a concerned look on his face.
