Two Versus Danger.

·· ? ··

!! Trigger Warning !! Gore near the end

Adam went home after eating at Yīkào's that night but his Mother was still worried for his subtle health change, deciding to go with her but she came into his room in the night with a needle. She gave him the liquid inside before going to her room. The government gave each person in the Lower Fraction a needle that contained a drug that is used against experimented animals to wear their sanity off.

Appearing normal...

This was a massive risk-taking as it's only worked on a few monsters...

I felt so numb and weak... like I'd just taken a beating or been paralyzed in all parts of my body, unable to wake up until I forced my eyes open. Only the slightest but everything was so blurry and hazed, I couldn't do anything and everything was so green and sludgy. My fucking head was pounding too.

What was wrong with me?

It wasn't that duck. No, it couldn't have been I watched that shrivel up until it was cooked and it was perfect. I ate the whole damn thing and probably licked my plate unconsciously, so what the fuck happened.

What in the world happened to me?

I did what I was supposed to right?

Is this what I get?

Was this Adam's fearful brain and he killed me when he promised he'd never do such things?

No.

That couldn't be true and it would be near impossible. I would've noticed and felt it... right?

"I'm so sorry my dear boy..." She looked down upon her child as his body was pale as ever before ringing 119 at a fast pace and prayed that they'd be able to do something about this. This curse had infected him.

Every jitter and sharp grunt of agony that Yīkào forced out only made his Mother more worried for him. There was a chance that she was too late to save him.

"ωнαт тнє ƒυ¢к ιѕ gσιηg ση!?"

"H-HêåÐ..." Buddy pressed his ears against his head, trying to block out the panning noise spreading like a virus through Yīkào's misted mind.

There were three of them but it felt like everything was going to end and this had never happened before in the history books.

"ꜱʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴡᴇ ʀᴜɴ!?" 8th suggested it didn't seem like a bad idea at first but the thought of going towards death sounded better than this screech of agony ringing through their ears.

"ℓυÓנÍ ∂є уĪкÀσ gєт ιη нєяє уσυ ρяι¢к!" no response to their calls for help and they were just left to fend for themselves for whatever this nightmare held.

Fortunately, the mist soon cleared out but that was the end of the 5th's promised lifeline and collapsed to the hopeful floor like a dog playing dead. The 8th soon followed the pursuit. Blood trickled out their noses as their eyes wide open with trauma, just like Buddy's eyes were always like. Yet he stayed afloat and looked around trying to figure out what was going on.

Alone.

"P-Please tell me he'll be okay..." Yīkào's mother held onto her breath and hands as she stared into the medic's eyes, loading her son onto a stretcher in the back of the ambulance.
