ONE: Dead

[Y/N]

I was part of the Hollowhead group, TSC, TDL, and TCO. All of us shared a home, having fun and enjoying each other's company.

But TDL changed.

TDL had grown craving for power, i dont know why, but something snapped in his mind to decide he wanted destruction, sometimes i even wonder if he was made that way.

he destroyed websites and games in which we highly protested against. At first, we tried to tell our concerns in a gentle way, but those words fell on deaf ears and kept destroying. Eventually, he created a virus known as the "Vira-Bot" intending to send it to the Outernet, making his job quicker.

That was the final straw for TCO as both of them argued, and snapped at each other for those things, me and TSC couldn't stop the arguments sometimes because of how aggressive they were to the point they were yelling at each other's faces.

Day by day and those arguments became physical. They began fighting. TDL had enough of our protests, claiming we were only "slowing" him down and left the house. I remember vividly how he scratched TCO's eye before leaving, and i remember that look he gave us, his eyes were full of hatred and evil—a remnant of the vessel on what he used to be—now forever gone in the dept of darkness.

It had been hard for the next few months, TDL constantly kept sending Vira-Bots to different websites, and it was our duty to stop them. It was exhausting, fighting against our old best friend while he killed in cold blood. There were times TCO almost got killed in the process, he was so wounded but he kept fighting for our safety. My powers weren't as high as theirs, I had Telekinesis and Healing, meaning I was the one who was in charge of healing TCO if he got damaged. Thus, using a lot of my energy to heal.

Not only that, but TDL's leaving created a rift between our friendship, we weren't as close or happy as we used to be, like stangers living in the same house yet bore memories of our once close bond.

TDL seemed so different, so cruel, so cold and sadistic. We tried to talk him out of this but he just won't listen and contorted to hurting us instead.
He continued his work and deleted more games and websites with the help of his Vira-Bots. Until one day when TSC, TCO, and I went on another battle with him.

It all happened so quick.

I was on the ground, barely able to move from my severely bleeding injury on my waist, my consciousness was slipping out of my body. But before I passed out, I saw TSC shooting the biggest green laser out his eyes strong enough to cause an explosion and maybe enough to kill TDL.
I was surprised about everything. I didn't know how to feel, sad that TDL was gone? Happy that TDL was gone? The emotions were all too much to register, I passed out.

I woke up in my room, I quickly looked around, and to my body. It was all patched up and tightly bandaged.

8 days days since our last encounter with TDL,
I was pretty sure he was dead but I couldn't find his body when I returned.

I limped towards the battlefield where we were fighting. I was all patched up thanks to TCO who carried my passed out body into my room. I snuck out of the house to check on TDL's body. But firt i had to arrive at the location of the explosion.

Once i arrived, i could see the how powerful TSC's blast actually was, there was a line that lead to a shallow hole in the soil, but TDL's body wasn't visible.

I put my good arm to my mouth, he was really gone..

I frowned as the tears dripped down my eyes, only now did i realize i was grieving.

I don't even know what to feel, the pain of losing a best friend only added to the burdens that were in my heart. Oh how i miss those moments where we weren't worried about anything, those moments where it was just the 4 of us having fun as teens, not giving a damn about the world and its consequences.

As for TCO, he isn't really showing much emotion eversince TDL left, and even became more hollow and empty of emotions when i announced TCO's death. He grew apart and cold, yet still provided care by showing his love in other ways. TSC tried his best to cheer us up in these times, but it was obvious he was also suffering the impact of this incident.

There were times I could hear his silent cries at night, feeling the grief of losing a loved one. Poor boy, he didn't even know he was the one who 'killed' TDL.

I stood outside TCO's room, with TSC in the living room just resting after our recent and last encounter with TDL. "Hey TCO" I creaked open his door, he noticed and looked at my head that was peering at the gap. "Hey Y/n" he responded; his voice laced with tiredness. "How are your wounds?" I questioned, opening his door and standing just outside his doorframe, my voice was gentle but with a hint of worry.

"They're doing alright, you don't need to worry." He answers "Could you get me a glass of water?" He requests. I nod and turn around walking towards the kitchen and walk past the Living room TSC was in. I caught him sleeping comfortably on the couch with the TV still on.
'I'll wake him up later' I thought as I continued towards the kitchen grabbing a glass and pouring water into it. The sounds filled up the quiet room

With the glass of water TCO requested, I walked back to his room and poked my head once again, then walked inside the room giving the glass of water to him.

He gladly took the glass and drank it, sighing after. "Thanks." He says "You can leave now, I'll be sleeping" I nod again and quickly walked outside his room, closing the door slowly.

I made my way to the living room and to the couch TSC slept on and shook him gently. He mumbles some gibberish before going silent again, I sigh and walk over to the closet to grab a blanket before placing it over TSC's body. I couldn't blame him though, all of us were tired from the recent fight plus, it was late at night.

I silently crept up to my room after turning off most of the lights, I turned my doorknob and went inside closing the door behind me. I lay on my bed not bothering to turn off the lights and began trying to doze off to sleep.

The only memory I remembered before I dozed off into deep sleep was TDL.
