We teleported in at the rainbow refuge, my vision getting blurry again- more than usual... it was strange-
"Here we are!" Oliver states.
"Yep!" Light follows him up as he walks to the gate, "Did we just like- get rid of Anthony-"
I looked around and didn't see Anthony anywhere, "I think we did- and I'm glad we did." I said with a slight laugh.
"Yeahhh- I mean I'm- I'm hoping he knows where he is, because I'm I don't know-" Light replies.
As he said that I couldn't help but notice- wait... Owen.. he's cornered by- Nightmare-
"Uhhhhhhhh...." I mumbled.
"Oh my god.." Light said with a bit of concern.
"Owen-" Light and I both call out.
"I may be the last of my race but I'm not letting you hurt this place," Owen says sternly, as he draws his pitch fork.
I felt a sharp spike or fear- right into my heart. I was never scared of Nightmare before... why so suddenly am I terrified?
"What's go— WHAT THE HELL!?" Oliver yells as he sees Nightmare and bolts over.
"Hello," Nightmare said, smiling like a madman.
"Light? Auric-" Owen said, but I cut him off slightly, "Nightmare.."
Nightmare smiles as he raises his axe and inputs his energy into it. "Time to die!" He yells. Before I had time to react he starts was striking Owen down... Oliver jumps in the way and I covered my eyes, "NO!" Is all we heard last of Oliver...

When I opened my eyes again there was darkness on the ground, once again... that same spike of fear felt like it just stabbed into me- I backed up.
"Oliver!" Both Owen and Light yelled. I looked up... Oliver... was infected- but- no- this was different- the darkness was usually only on the skin- from what I've seen- it's like ink... it shouldn't be 𝚒𝚗 the skin... but... it- it was- how- how..
"Oh..~" Nightmare said with a frown, but then it quickly went back to a smile.
"Oliver...? What just-" Light starts, confused... he approached Oliver.
My vision started to fade in and out, blurring a lot. Every time I blinked it got worse, my breathing increased and I was having a panic attack... I backed into a tent and I could feel my lungs burning. as clear as day... all I could hear... was Oliver's voice, saying, "You..."

I opened my eyes and inhaled sharply, there was a ton of darkness... everywhere- it was originating... from- me? No- no- no no- that- that can't be possible- I shuttered and my breathing got faster... all I could see was darkness.. it was spreading- it- it reached Owen and Light and thats when it ended-

"Auric..? Can you hear me...?" Owen asked me with his hand resting on my shoulder, "you've.. been repeating "no" and "it's not real-" a lot..." Light stood a bit away with a worried look on his face, he looked to the side a bit then started shaking. I couldn't manage to talk at all for a moment, then I stood, "I-I'm goood! I-I'm good.."
"Auric, are you okay? You uh-" Light asked,my breathing slowed down, Owen gently patted me on the back before going to Lights side. I looked at my hands, and my arms. They were both shaking.. "Uh..." I started, "I-I'm good... I'm... g-good.."

Light and Owen went off to talk about what happened with Oliver, when my vision started to blur and I started to see the darkness again. I shook my head, "wh-what did he even do..!? What was that!? It was in his skin...-" I yelled.
"I know, it was- ugh! I don't even know what he did!?" Light yells.
My breathing increased again...
"It was like- perfectly intertwined with every wrinkle, every thing on his skin!" Light started, ""perfectly... merged-"
"That was terrifying...-"

(Skiping a bit because I got bored, literally would only be what happened on lights pov but auric panic seen wooooooo)

"Shut up, shut up, shut up..." I told the small voice I heard. The sky was red, Light had darkness on him, so did Owen. Everything was covered in darkness... "𝕎𝕖𝕝𝕝, 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕗𝕒𝕦𝕝𝕥, 𝔸𝕦𝕣𝕚𝕔. 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕠𝕟𝕝𝕪 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕤𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕪 𝕡𝕖𝕠𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕕𝕚𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕤 𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕤, 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕪 𝕓𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕗𝕒𝕦𝕝𝕥." The voice echos. "SHUT UP! Shut up..."

That continued on for a while... a bit of lightning strikes next to me, Owen looks over, "Hey... Auric; you alright? Like. Really?"
"Like- its- it-it-it's- it's okay man," Light said with a reassuring tone. I hugged myself, the- the illusion was still happening. I couldn't think- I couldn't calm down...
"We're gonna fix what happened to him!" Light said with a positive tone, "you don't need to worry!"
"I just- I was just- what even just happened..." I managed to say.
"Yeah..." Owen said in a bit of a sad tone.
"I don't- don't know.." Light replies.
"I-it's not- it's not it's not- not okay. Not okay- not okay-" I said trying to not panic more.

Light and Owen went on to talk more about Oliver. After a bit Owen teleported out.

(Nothing really more happens with Auric this episode so y'all can imagine the rest of the episode but with Auric being scared- I wrote this with 903 words so yeah. I'm burnt out from writing so yayyyyyy)
