Rythian's POV
I miss Zoey. I've been trying to focus on revenge, but I can't. It's all my fault she's gone. Everyone that Zoey knew will hate me, because everyone Zoey meets likes her. Since it's my fault she's gone, everyone will hate me. I've only made friends because Zoey was around, now I'm an outcast again. I just miss her so much. I feel empty, like I did before I met Zoey, but this time I feel worse because it's all my fault. I can never forgive myself.
Teep's POV
I feel so bad for Rythian, he thinks it's all his fault. He hasn't spoken to me in days. I wish he would stop blaming himself. All he has been doing lately is creating weapons and armor. I notice he's changed his purple cape, to an orange one, same thing with his mask. Sometimes I find him on his knees, screaming about how it's all his fault, he is barely conscious during these breakdowns. When this happens I just help him onto his bed and he cries himself to sleep. I know he's thinking of revenge, but I won't let him. Zoey would have wanted me to keep him from killing Duncan and Sjin.
Before BlackRock blew up, when I was bored I would read. There was a book for doctors that I read. Rythian's slowly going insane, soon he will be hearing things. I need to find someone that knows about this kind of stuff. Duncan. I could go to Sjin, but he locked me in a cage, so no. But I need to get Duncan without Rythian knowing. If Rythian finds out he would be furious. And in his state, that would not be a good thing. So when Rythian is asleep, I will get Duncan to help. I don't think of Duncan as an enemy or a friend, but he's the only one that can help Rythian. I'll wait a few days and see how Rythian is, before I go see Duncan.
2 DAYS LATER
Rythian's POV
It's all your fault.
Everyone will hate you.
You shouldn't have let her do it alone.
She never cared about you.
Your alone.
Your only friend is a mute dinosaur.
I'm hearing voices now. All day long. Yelling to my brain. I pull my knees to my chest and close my eyes.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when the clouds are grey.
You don't know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away."
Zoey used to sing this to her mooshrooms, It always calmed them down. It worked, the voices were now a whisper. I thought about the song's lyrics, they were true. This is how I felt about Zoey. But now my sunshine is gone, and I'm stuck in a storm.
The rest of the day, the voices still came, but they would stop when I sang her song. I don't know why the voices came, but I've been feeling empty. 3 days ago, I changed my cape and mask color to orange. It reminded me of Zoey, I did whatever I could for me to believe Zoey was still alive. I stopped planning revenge and relaxed for a few days. I drew pictures, and worked on our small makeshift home. I added plants and did a small amount of interior design. It felt like Zoey was still alive. When Teep saw the newly decorated home, he looked like he had saw a ghost. He saw me and quickly smiled. I wonder what was wrong. I felt somewhat happy for a minute, then the voices came back.
Zoey's POV
Nothing much has changed. Sjin is slowly paying less attention to me. I still stay in my room, working on his machines. He hasn't been visiting as much. He thinks I don't notice, but I do. I hope Rythian would come and rescue me like in the fairytales. But I kno that won't happen. Rythian doesn't care about me. I finally set up my computer, and I have been talking to the mushrooms over the MushNet. So this is my daily schedule:
Wake Up
Eat bread and apple, given by Sjin
Work on Machines
Talk to mushrooms
Fix more machines
Eat bread and apple
Sleep
It's boring, but it's better than being all alone, or with someone who doesn't care about me. Do I'm stuck her.
Teep's POV
I come back to the base to see Rythian with his knees to his chest, and his eyes closed. He was obviously hearing voices. I went in the other room to get him some water, when I came back, he was singing.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when the clouds are grey.
You don't know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take, my sunshine away."
I left the room before he could see me. That's the song Zoey would sing. That's probably how he feels about her. Since he's hearing voices I really need to see Duncan tonight. I'll need some food for the journey, so I go outside to kill some pigs.
I come back home from killing pigs, to see Rythian had re-decorated the house. I was shocked. How did he have the energy for this? The thing I noticed most, as that everything as orange and red. There were drawings of mushrooms, and pots of mushrooms everywhere. I need to see Duncan sooner than I thought...
