-Welcome to The Club Friend!-

-Chapter 8: Blood, Sweat and Fears-

For context, if one visits another's memories, if it has caused a detrimental effect on that person, they spiral and panic remembering that memory very vividly. Either it be on purpose or not.

Tw: Valerie's principal, Murder, s3xual assault, gore (lots of it).

Anygays, enjoy an old man being murdered (for various reasons, and for educational purposes)
—————

Blood sweat and fears, it's what remained in Valerie's mind. After the exorcise where you would share memories to each other.

It went wrong,Valerie lost control of her memories and one that haunts her had seeped through.

From what Corey told everyone, viewing memories can indeed corrupt others and make one spiral.

Which is what happened, the poor thing was shaken, scared, and crying. Corey tried comforting Valerie but only got a pocket knife stabbed into their arm.

Phoenix felt very very bad for the brunette, she hates everything about that creepy old man that did that to her.

"Corey, can you find a universe with that bastard alive?" Phoenix asked, tail flicking.

"Why?" Corey asked, pulling up a panel.

"I want to kill that man for his sins" Phoenix hissed.

"Bet, let's do it. I'm just gonna bring a few friends" Corey smiled.

"You're gonna bring the rest of the sentinel aren't you-" Phoenix sighed.

"You know me too well" Corey laughed, brushing a strand of hair away from their glasses. (They're in the same outfit/hairstyle from the previous chapter)

———

He wasn't dead, even after Valerie escape him. He laughed waiting for the girl to come crawling back after that.

She needs the home and the freedom. He waited, and waited with a smile. Blood on his hands.

He heard the door open, expecting it to be the one person he needed.

Only to get a punch to the face by a girl with rabbit ears.

"Who the hell are you?! Get off my campus!" He yelled.

"I'm not leaving any time soon, bastard" Corey smiled, multiple other figures appeared behind her.

"Who are you things?!" He stood back, but he got grabbed by the collar and thrown outside.

"Your demise...." Corey pulled out a sword.

Phoenix grabbed her weapon, Tanjiro grabbed his, Muichiro already had his out, Rengoku's sword was on fire, and Tengen sat back with popcorn and his dual blades.

"You don't have any evidence! You can't kill me without a reason" He tried getting up.

"Shut up you ugly bitch" Phoenix growled, stabbing him into the ground.

"First time actually wanting to kill a man" Tanjiro smiled.

"He makes me regret life choices, and I'm glad to be here to watch him die, slowly as his heart fails and he looses sight and-" Muichiro was cut off.

"Okay buddy that's a little much-" Tengen stares with a little fear.

"Ok" Muichiro stares back.

"Let's get this over with" Phoenix ordered.

(Huge trigger warning for this next part)

He was stabbed in every organ, his eyes were plucked out and he was cut up into multiple pieces. Blood spilt everywhere, guts and bones hanging from what's left of his mangled corpse. He was hanged and stashed into the shed he came out of.

"Looks like our work here is done" Phoenix sighed with relief.

"Eugh, I need to wash my blade-" Tanjiro looked sick.

"Agreed" everyone chimed in.

"Rey, we should head back and help Valerie" Phoenix suggested.

"Yeah, I feel bad for her..." Corey sighed.

"Look it's not your fault" Phoenix half smiled.

"But it kinda is-" Corey felt regret.

"We can At least try to help, that's what friends do" Phoenix patted Corey on the shoulder.

——

Valerie felt like she was drowning, she couldn't breath and her vision was blurry from tears.

Her eyes closed to see her trapped underwater, was she dead? Did her hyperventilating kill her?

She saw two hands grab hers, she was pulled out of the water. Awakening.

"Hey hey...breath" Corey said calmly.

Valerie saw the rabbit and Phoenix next to each other.

"P-Phoenix-?" Valerie stuttered.

Phoenix nodded, fully sitting down along with Corey.

"It's okay, he can't hurt you here. And even if he did get here some how. We will protect you" Corey smiled softly.

"Thank you..." Valerie sniffled. God she doesn't cry that much but when she does, it hurts. Though she was relieved knowing she had people to help her.

"Why is there blood on you guys?" Valerie pondered.

"It's not ours if you're wondering" Phoenix laughed a bit.

"HUH-?" Valerie stares wide eyed.
