Grian Oneshots :D

Rabbit Problems

Hiya, another bread oneshot :D

Grian sees a bunny... chaos ensues.

(Ignore the fact Pearl wasn't in season 7)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun shone down upon the geometric structures of X's base. The quirky admin always picked a new theme based on the latest update, and this year he had outdone himself. Honey dripped down the walls, with bees floating around a group of people sat around in a circle. It was the hermit's monthly server meeting, where they were meant to discuss any bugs or glitches that they had encountered, but instead usually ended up being a time where they all messed around. Sat in a large armchair was Xisuma, with his vivid bee suit. He was laughing along with the other hermits, thoroughly having given up on bringing the meeting to focus on glitches.

Grian was sat between Pearl and Scar, laughing at Mumbo being a spoon. The redstoner had just recounted how he had accidentally blown up his kitchen after being tricked into thinking he could microwave a penny. Scar and Pearl were laughing their heads off, whilst Grian was desperately trying to breathe through giggles.

"How-," he managed to get out, "sometimes I think that you would lose your moustache if it wasn't firmly glued to your face."

This set off another round of laughter.

"Anyway," Xisuma tried to bring the meeting back on track, "as it's coming up to Easter, we're going to be holding an Easter event, with things like an egg hunt. I have even been preparing by breeding up bunnies, like this one. He pulled a small white rabbit out of a box behind him, and Grian could hear the other hermits exclaiming at how cute it was.

"Can I hold it X?" Stress pleaded.

"Ok fine, as long as you are careful."

But Grian could no longer hear the conversation; his senses had narrowed in on the the blood red eyes of the rabbit. He could hear his blood pounding in his ears but still vainly tried to keep control. He didn't want to break down in front of the hermits, he didn't want to be a burden. But the vivid images of Sam stabbing Taurtis flooded his brain, remembering the feeling of plastic being forced down his throat as he gagged. The feel of the knife slicing across the surface of his skin, whilst Sam told him he deserved this punishment for saying he wasn't Taurtis. And all the while, the white cotton ears and the blood red eyes stared down into his soul.

"No..." he managed to croak out, "please – not again."

A couple of the hermits looked around at him confused. He watched Pearl look around at him, saw her expression as she realised the avian was having a panic attack. But after that point, his vision became blurry and unfocused, filled with tears that raced down his face. He was vaguely aware that he was scratching deeply at his arms, and at his neck, with the trademark smell of blood filling his nostrils. The same smell that had surrounded him whilst he clutched Taurtis' body in his arms as he tried in vain to stem the bleeding, hearing his call to 999 fail with a gut-wrenching beep. And Taurtis' hand upon his cheek, as the boy smiled for the last time, his eyes glazing over. And all the while, a bunny stood nearby laughing maniacally, blood dripping off his knife. And he could see those crazed bloodthirsty eyes right in front of him, in the face of the rabbit. Then suddenly, the rabbit wasn't there. He blinked. His friends were clustered around him, wearing worried expressions. The rabbit was out of sight. Pearl was rubbing his back, whilst Scar was holding his hand and trying to comfort him. Everything began to get clearer. But with that, came the pain. He could feel his neck and his arms, with blood dripping down them.

Finally, his adrenaline had worn off, and he collapsed, feeling weak. He heard a small "oh shit" and then he blacked out.

<-time skip->

Grian was lying in his bed, his floppy hair curled over one eye. He was sleeping peacefully, occasionally smiling, as if he was dreaming. Scar, Pearl and Xisuma were sat by Grian's side, close to dozing off themselves. The trio had been there ever since Grian had collapsed, and they had each vowed to stay there until the boy woke, unbeknownst to the others.

"You two know him best," X began slowly, "do either of you know why seeing that rabbit could've prompted that result from Grian?"

"I don't know, I wish he would've told me about this," Scar answered sadly.

"I don't know exactly..." Pearl replied, "but he did tell me that he had a bad time in high school when I first joined Hermitcraft, although he wasn't very specific. I wonder –."

She was interrupted by the avian mumbling softly. The 3 hermits looked expectantly towards him. Grian slowly pushed himself up, with a soft yawn. Then he looked down confused at the bandages that snaked around his arms and his neck. He picked up a glass of water that was next to his bed and tilted it to his lips, taking a long sip from it. Returning the glass to his bedside table, he looked back towards the hermits who were waiting for him.

"I... suppose you want an explanation,"

"You don't need to tell us anything if you aren't comfortable, but it would be helpful if we at least knew anything that would trigger you like earlier," X clarified quickly.

"No, no, I need to do this," Grian mentally prepared himself, steadying his breathing, "when I was younger, I went to a school called... called Yandere High." He shuddered lightly, and Xisuma looked as if he was trying to remember something at the back of his mind.

"I think I've heard of it before somewhere, but I can't seem to remember anything about it," X said thoughtfully.

"Well, it wasn't a great place to grow up. Not at all. First off, the server was set to hardcore. Me and Pearl's parents left me on the streets there, whilst she managed to get taken into foster care." There was a slight note of bitterness in his voice, but not enough that it was noticeable. After all, it wasn't Pearl's fault that he had suffered so much whilst she had managed to have a relatively happy life. "It didn't end up being as bad as I thought it would though, as I met 2 people my age who managed to help me. They were called Taurtis, who generally wore a blue jumper and some headphones, and Sa.. Sam, who was a bunny hybrid. We got along great for years, until about midway through high school, when Sam got a girlfriend called Yuki. She was crazy, to say the least, and she began to have an impact on Sam... anyway to cut the story short, Sam stabbed Taurtis in front of me, laughing maniacally at me as I failed to get an ambulance for him, as he..."

Not for the first time, Grian's voice seemed to fail him.

"After that, Sam forces me to dress up as Taurtis and pretend I was him, and I would have to eat plastic that he and Yuki would force down my throat as the only food that I would be allowed each day. He also started routinely beating and raping me. It took a long time for me to escape him."

X, Scar and Pearl sat in a stunned silence. Tears were crawling down Scar's cheeks, Pearl looked shell shocked, but X was the first one to speak.

"What's his username? I'm gonna have to have some words with the admin council about this Sam character, and they won't be polite ones."

Grian let out a short bitter laugh.

"The only reason I was able to escape him was because Sam was so unstable that he began to corrupt the world. He went on a murderous rampage, and finally reached me, but the area around us glitched out and I somehow got pushed into another server, leaving him in that corrupted server. After that, who knows what happened. Either way, he shouldn't be a problem to anyone ever again," Grian said with a small amount of confidence.
