Firey sat in a cold dim white room. A table sitting infront of him. He was dead asleep. Leafy's voice echoed through Firey's  mind.  A clock ticked, Firey soon awoke from his slumber, not familar with his surrondings. He frantically looked for a way out, A bell rung, Firey soon went still,  Trying to make out the shadowy figure. As it got closer, He could see a large grin plastered on the figures face. He soon realized it was Leafy. He struggled to get out until Leafy walked over with a sliver platter, placing it infront of him. 

Firey attemped to speak, his words never came out. All he did was stare at Leafy with a petrified expression. Leafy soon placed sliverware next to him,  then she twirled back to where she was before Firey saw her. Leafy walked back, a axe held in her hands. Firey squirmed in the chair. Terrified of what could happen to him. He could hardly get any words out. Leafy had tied  him to the chair. And he just realized it? Boy, he was out of it.  

Leafy began to speak, "Oh my!" She'd chuckle. "Did you even sleep?" She'd tease, Firey wasnt having any of it. He was still trying to get out of this situation. ".. Whatever, moving on!" She'd take the lead off the sliver platter, slowly. As she unveiled what it was, Firey's face went pale in horror. "Well now, eat up!" She'd push the platter closer, the remains of Pencil laid infront of Firey. 

Firey began to gag, as he could find himself about to pass out. He rocked the chair back and forth. Leafy soon stopped the chair, the axe still sitting delicately in her hands. "Ugh! You're no fun!" She pouted. Then a wave of guilt hit her. She sat herself on the floor next to the table. "I'm.. I'm sorry. You've found me out, havent you?" She paused to look at Fireys face. "You have. Everyone has.. That's what it feels like, at least. Around the corner I hide from the guilt. It hides everywhere." Fireys face soon went from a gagged look, to a soft, sympathetic look. 

Leafy soon sat up. "But, that won't stop me, will it?" She'd turn to face behind the chair. "..Your flames? They don't ever seem to stop flaring, do they? I mean you are a FIRE after all. I suppose you also feel like a mess, don't you? After killing Coiny, I mean I would!" She laughed. Firey began to get very defensive, and finally found the words to speak. "You can't say shit! You..You've killed and EATEN half of your so called.. 'friends'. How does THAT feel?"  Leafy's eyes dimmed. "At least no one knows yet. While everyone in this dogshit town knows what you did." 

Firey went quiet, as Leafy began to talk again. "Those flames wont shine soon. They'll be out like a light. You can soon join everyone else. Is that what you want?" Leafy gripped her axe. She stared at the yoyleberry that lay on the plate next to Pencil's dead body. ".. I can throw your body in the creek, no one would find you there, would they? Or a cliff." Leafy paused. Walking over to Firey. "We could make a deal, none of us would get hurt, itd be a win-win!" "Why would I EVER want to make a deal with you?!" 

"To not get hurt? Thats what i'd assume, and at least let me TELL you my offer." Firey was hesitant, but sighed and nodded. "Work with me, you dont have to.. 'eat' anyone, just help with the killing! Youve already done it once!" She held the axe highly in her lap, she eyed the plate again, and the yoyleberry was gone. "I.. I couldnt! I cant!" Firey yelped. She'd grip the axe again, about to bash Fireys head in with it. "Your loss." She shrugged, spinning the chair around. About to take the axe to his head. "WAIT! I-i'll.. i'll take this deal.. as long as it keeps me alive." Leafy threw the axe down. "Very well! Follow me this way!!" Leafy led Firey down the hall, just over to the medical chair where she had killed Pencil.  "Ahem, now! If you'll excuse me im going to .. go out, get some rest!" Leafy stepped off into the distance, as Firey scrambled out beside her. 

"Leafy!! I was worried SICK about you!" Pin had raced into Leafy's room. Hopping onto Leafy. "For what reason? I mean ive only been out for an hour." She pushed Pin off of her. ".. Are you ok?  Youve been so.. I dont know, lately.." Pin fidgeted with her hands. "Im fine, you should leave me alone, we can hang out when im free." She'd push stubbornly. "Ugh-guh! Hey!" 



".. I feel bad.. almost like theres a burning pain inside of me. A burning pain of guilt." Leafy thought as she slammed the door. "It feels like theres a flower.. blooming, inside of me.. what am I doing? What did I  do? What have I done to Firey? I should just.. finish him off. I should just finish them all off. They'll find out soon enough. I should just turn myself in. Im tired of hiding. They'll all laugh at me. And depise me when I tell them. Its what i deserve." Leafy ran from her place, far far far away, stumbling up toward the mountain where it all began. The cabin was covered in moss. Thick green moss. Book's diary was still there. She'd sit herself on the crossway between the lake and the grass. She'd put her hand in the water. Breathing heavily. Until she heard someone behind her.

"Nothing to fight back with now. Is there?"  A voice haunted from behind. "They'll find you. And you'll lay on the ground helplessly."  It was Book's voice. "B-but your dead! Y-you can-" "But I can. You'll pay for your actions, Leafy."  "Its all a hallucation, it isnt real, THEY ARE ALL IN YOUR HEAD." Leafy soon snapped back from her trance, staring behind her, as Firey plunged at her with an axe. "G-GET OFF ME!" Leafy yelled, screaming her words. Firey jacked the axe at her face, Leafy tried dodging it, but eventually it hit her leg. "O-OAUGH!" She'd yelp, as she limped to safety. "Im sorry, Leafy, But you can't keep doing this. Soon you'll be in enteral return, I hope. It isnt you, its just what youve done."

A slash of red arose, three thuds in a row were heard. He quaked, reliving what he had done. She sat there, lifeless. But she wasn't really. Her broken leg shoke. And she layed there. He held her hand, her cold limp hand. He cried almost that it would make a flowing river. She muttered four words.

".. Im sorry for everything." 

And then it went black.
