Locked in dreams | AU

How did you know that?

Breathing.

"Is it ready?"

"Read it yourself..."

The letter was written in one of Book's pages, Needle tried to use the less bloody one. She didn't knew how to make Book's handwriting, neither had any pen to write, so she used Book's blood, and wrote everything with her finger.

"I know it isn't very convincing but..."

"Magnificent, Needle!"

"You think so...?"

Pencil knocked golfball's lab door desperately.

"GOLFBALL!! GOLFBALL!! THE RECOVERY CENTER ISN'T WORKING!!?"

Pencil kept knocking GB's door.

"What?."-GB asked curious while opening her door.

"THE RECOVERY CENTERS ARE NOT WORKING!!"

"H-how? What happened?!."

"Me and Ice Cube couldn't find Ruby nor Book this morning, so we started to search them. W-when we arrived to the Yoyle Needy, w-we..."

"You what."

"We saw Ruby, shattered."

"Hhhm..."

"Then we...? Uhhh... We went to the R.C...!! w-we typed her name and-"

"It didn't worked right?."

"Yes... Ice Cube's still finding Book. Is there any way you can fix it?"

"I need to see what's the problem with it."

"..."

"TB!! COME HERE!!"

"I'm on my way!"

"We're heading to the R.C."

"What's the problem?"

"It isn't working."

They all three went there. They were still in the morning, but it wasn't very early. The recovery center was almost abandoned, nobody had to use it for a while. Still, it was very needed, especially in situations like this.

"I don't see nothing bad with it!"

"Let's try typing her name again."

R-U-B-Y

"..."

"See! I told you!"

Golf Ball kept checking the R.C, while Tenis Ball wrote down every detail. Pencil saw Ice Cube running towards them, she looked desperate.

"Guys!! You won't like what I found out..."

"Where's Book!?"

Ice cube looked down.

"No... Don't tell me..."

Ice Cube wrote down Book's name.

"..."

"Maybe the problem isn't the recovery center...?"

"We need to analyze everything. Please take us there."

Ice Cube nodded

Everyone followed Ice Cube, sometimes forming a single line. They were quiet, they didn't expect going back to the Yoyle Needy, especially Pencil. She has seen her friends corpses before, but this time was different. This time she didn't knew if she was going to see them again. Her only hope was that, maybe, the science duo could fix it.
