Chapter 4: A re-encounter?

-WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11TH, 2023.-

The next day, me and Risk went into the Dark World again after school as per usual through the closet. I don't know if it was just me or not, but sometimes I felt like I was not only getting more and more used to the DW and its good sides and bad sides, but also in contrast to the Light World, I felt like I needed to be there more, literally. And no, I wasn't just saying that to be honest, I was serious, the Dark World was like a mix between heaven and hell, where you could be whatever you wanted to be, Earth was just hell, at least until my "encounter with an enemy", and no, not just an average enemy, a special, unusual one that wasn't supposed to be here came, the same one that killed Risk's old friend a while back, and actually made Risk out of all people run off, and it turns out, he was looking right at us, but not just us, he was staring me, staring at me DEAD in the eyes, I felt like I was cornered when he slashed a HUGE cut across Risk's back, causing Risk to fall back, I tried to run as Risk was injured, as Risk took out his sword but got slashed before he could even attack, but then my Asthma kicked in, as I gave my inhaler to Risk since I was worried I'd lose it again like we almost did when I want to the Dark World the first time with Risk yesterday, although nothing really happened then, unlike now... the thing is now staring at me, it's a completely discarded vessel with white eyes, no pupils, and no heart.... I'm now grasping onto my life at this point, Risk is on the ground and has my inhaler in his pocket, and I'm completely defenseless. Then, as Risk gets up he passes the inhaler to me and I get up too, puffing air into my lungs and breathing as I got on my knees and put the inhaler now used in my pocket. Risk stared at the Vessel ready to attack, even with a bloody back and a cut through the back of his shirt, but as soon as he got into his fighting stance with his REAL SWORD again, the thing vanished. After that, Risk holstered the sword he had and put my hand on my back, then dragging me towards him and shaking my body, as he then yelled at me:

Risk- "YOU IDIOT! YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN US KILLED, WHY DID YOU RUN OFF LIKE THAT?!?!"

Jack- "I- I'm s-sorry M- Mister Risk I-"

Risk- "YOU HAD ONE JOB, ONE JOB TO PROTECT US AND YOU NEARLY BLEW IT THERE. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG YOU'D SURVIVE WITHOUT ME STICKING UP FOR YOU?!?!!"

Jack - "O- OK Risk you're right!!!!! I'm sorry I'm so so SORRY AGH-"

I was crying at this point and shaking, as Risk then picked me up, grabbing me by my HAIR, and as I was absolutely petrified, Risk made it look like he was about to hit me, and then sure enough, after he lifted up my hair some more, he then DID hit me, and he dropped me right before then too, knocking my face back and knocking ME out, as I then collapsed onto the ground, fainted, and Risk decided to carry me back on home. It was 8 PM by the time we got home but I didn't wake up, in my own bedroom thankfully, until 11, an hour before midnight, and I got up and went to use the restroom, as my stomach felt a bit weird, but then, all I saw was Risk patching himself up while blasting some of that heavy metal rock music he'd listen too, on one of those old fashioned radios that still play cassettes as I heard it from my room, just not as loud, and Risk would then curse me out, telling me to shut the door as I saw that nasty cut on his back. I hoped he was okay, but it was best to give him some alone time for now, after all, I couldn't always be getting involved with his personal business, that was on him, and I knew it, so I then went to bed, shaking the feeling off as I shut the door, and got in bed, hoping things would be better tomorrow, and I then slept, continuing to just hope.
