Come Back, A Vikklan FanFic

Chapter 20 Backgrounds

Sorry for not updating yesterday. Had a little bit of writers block, but I will update Saturday ^-^

Vikk POV

We make it to the apartment, dreading the talk we are about to have. This whole situation is tiring, but I know we need to do it, for Lachlans sake. We will come back and save him.

Brandon unlocks the door and they rush in, me slowly strolling in. We all sit at the kitchen table. I look at my hands, surprisingly they are shaking.

I try to calm myself down, to no avail. I feel a kind hand on my shoulder. I look up, meeting eyes with Kenny, him giving a relaxing smile. I feel the tension fade a bit, leaving us with discussing the facts.

"So, how do we do this. We all know we all never held a gun before, and I, I just don't know what to do." Brandon says, his hands holding up his face. I sigh, thinking the same thing.

"Well, we do what we have to do." Kenny says. "We may need to kill people, but remember they are fake. This is all a fake reality but with death being real."

Brandon shakes his head, laughing a fake laugh. "I just can't talk this pressure knowing that if we fuck up, you can't save Lachlan. And Kenny, the people seem so real. They all have jobs, lives, and futures. I can't just kill them."

"I know, but if we have to, we will. It's hard knowing that you have to kill people to just save one life. Hell, I wish that I could of been saved myself." Kenny says, looking down at the table.

Oh yeah, I literally forgot that they are dead too. They just both seem so real that it is easy to forget. "If you guys don't mind me asking, how did you actually die?"

They stare at me in shock. Did I say something wrong? "Who first?" Kenny asks Brandon. 

"I will." Brandon says. "I died the same way as you. I loved this girl named Kara, but she didn't like me back. I thought I would never find love, so I ended it. That was the worse mistake I ever made. I tried to come back, but I failed. I have been here for six years. I just want to come back and see my friends again." His eyes start to water a bit, but he smiles. 

"But if I wasn't here, then Notch would be in a coma and I wouldn't have been able to help you." His eyes stop watering, him giving me a smile. He puts his gaze on Kenny, waiting for him to start.

Before Kenny starts, I look at Brandon's arms. I see a slight scar, barely able to see. We may be different,  but we are the same in many ways. We can't take too much stress, both cut, both ended it for a reason we wish we could take back. I look at mine, still able to see clearly. I sigh pulling my sleeves back. I look at Kenny again, and he starts.

"I had a horrible childhood. Bullies, abuse, pretty much everything bad. I was told by my parents that I was a mistake, and I should of never been on this earth. The my mom got in a car accident. My dad always said that it was my fault and I should get punished for it." Kenny takes a deep breath, trying to keep his composer.

"He would take me into this room and lock me in a cage. I would be in there for about a day if I was lucky, but on normal days three or more." He sighs. "Or if he really hated me that day, he would tape me to a chair and beat me with a bat. Sometimes he would even grab a knife and cut my arms, legs, or even my neck."

He rolls up his sleeve and shows us. Plenty of them covered his arm, most of them jagged. He shakes his head and pulls his sleeve back down. "Then one day I couldn't take it. I tried to fight back, but I failed. He then taped me to the chair and went to get a gun. I believe it was a pistol. He shot me in the shoulder, then in the heart. Now I'm here." He sighs.

I stand up and hug him, starting to hear tears come from Kenny. Suddenly Brandon gets up and I feel him hug him too. "No matter what happens, we will help each other, okay. We will stick together though thick and thin. Got it?" Brandon asks. We nod both nod in agreement.

"Together forever, no matter what. Even when you get back to earth, remember us, okay?" Kenny says.

"Don't even think of that. I will always remember you guys. I'll even tell Lachlan about you guys.  You will always in my memories."
