Red like roses (Sexual Offenderman Fanfiction)

Chapter 32 - Solace

If you ever feel homesick, just look up at the night sky because the moon always stays the same, where ever you end up.

Amy felt homesick. She missed her old life, she missed her parents. She wished she could say her good byes to them before she would die. But there was no time to do that, and it broke her heart.

She even missed her another home, even if it was right next to her, standing tall but dead silent like it had been abandoned for years. It was her another home she had learned to appreciate, even with its dark shadows and hidden secrets.

She missed Splendor and Trender, who had only left them some minutes ago, entering the fight that took its place deep in the forest. She even missed the two other brothers that still stood there with her.

Amy felt homesick, yet looking up at the moon did not make her feel at home. The orb of night hovered over them like a meteor, about to collide with the living planet called Earth. The sky was glowing red, far from the pink glow you could see sometimes before the night would turn dark. 

Threat was imminent, yet there was no running away from it.

The end was here.

He comes.

"Let's not waste any more time", Slenderman said coldly, giving one blank look towards the human and his brother before turning his gaze towards the sky again. He stayed completely silent for a few seconds, his head turning to different directions like he was trying to reach a weak signal.

"We might have a change to stop this all. I'm trying to connect with Zalgo, or at least find out where he is", the suited man explained, his voice strict and cold like ice. 

"You think he's up for a chit chat?" Offender asked him almost mockingly. He moved his hands inside his jacket's pockets and took a step closer to his older brother. Amy watched them from afar, every now and then looking at the aged mansion behind them. 

For some reason, it felt like that the building was going to crush over them any second.

Amy could hear Slenderman sigh. "Well, if there is something he wants, we could try giving it to him", he said to his rebelling brother, still keeping his unseen eyes towards the horizon.

Offender chuckled.

"Yeah, that will calm his ass down."

He turned around and returned to keep Amy some company, looking down at her blankly. "You alright?" Offender asked silently, his voice telling the human he was heart broken, yet he did not allow himself to show it. 

"I'm fine, for now", Amy told him, saying the last part of her answer more quietly. It was hard to stay positive in a situation like this, but she did her best to keep her head up. 

Offender nodded. "Good", was the only thing he said to her before turning his head towards his brother's backside.

His hand silently grabbed hers, holding onto it tightly. Amy looked up at him with a sad smile to cover up how she was truly feeling. 

His hands were cold, but the tighter they hold onto her, the warmer they felt.

Slenderman moved one his hands up as to tell the others to be quiet. He listened carefully, his head looking up at the mountains that were far away from their home. He soon turned around, lowering his arm as to give them a permission to talk again.

"Did he say something?" Amy asked, tilting her head slightly to the side. She could not help but wonder what kind of a conversation Slenderman had with Zalgo.
