The Traveler part 2

Shinata's POV

I woke up on Watinies back. Once again instantly feeling horrible that he was carrying me. But wait. Why was he carrying me?? Did they release me from the hospital??

".....hmm....." I mumbled tiredly into Watinie's ear.

I was instantly dropped right off of Watinie's back and fell on the ground.

They both growled at my in a fighting stance. Like they were scared of me...what did I ever do.

"Get up. I know you can. You did it yesterday." Yelled Watinie.

"I h-have m-m-m-more tranquilizer darts......s-so don't move....!"

What are they talking about?! Suddenly it hit me. I reached my hand up and wiped black blood away from my ears. I stared wide eyed at the blood.

Wihu......attacked me again....?

I tried to run away, but my legs instantly gave out underneath me. Trying to move so fast made me barf out more black liquid.

Watinie stood close to my head and bent down.

"Your trapped Shinata. You can't escape. Now tell me why you killed all those nurses."

I killed?! Wihu.....what are you doing....

"......kill me....."

"W-WHAT?!" Askie interjected while running to the other side of my body. "WE CAN'T J-J-JUST KILL HER!!"

".....it's for....your own safety......kill me...." I begged while laying on my stomach face in the dirt. Because that's what I was. Dirt.

"No. You don't deserve solitude. Tell me why you killed them."

".......I'm surprised your spirit hasn't figured it out yet.........."

"WHAT ARE YOU- what are you talking about..?"

"......Wihu.......is taking control.......he is attacking my brain..........and if he keeps doing it..........I won't survive much longer.........so you might as well........just kill me......"

"....I refuse..." Watinie said walking away.

I watched him storm away. His furry ears dropped with disappointment. Which he had all the right to feel.

Suddenly I felt something around my mouth. It was Askie? He put a mussel on me???

"I'm sorry Silver........i-it's for o-our safety....."

I simply nodded in agreement letting the Shika pick me up and stick me over his shoulder. I used his travel backpack as a sort of pillow, for my head. Quickly falling asleep again from exhaustion.

"Shinata~" Wihu cooed from my mind. I simply didn't answer. There was no need. I knew the pattern of events all too well.

He continued to stalk me from the shadows trying to convince me that the nurses deserved to die.

All I could do was run and hide, the non-existent black empty city, that Wihu placed in my brain.

Where do I run?! Which way can I go so that he doesn't find me?!

I ran ally ways, sewers, anything. Anything to get away. I had to get away. There was no way I would let Wihu take control again.

One particular Ally way stuck out to me. It reminded me of one thing. betrayal. The same place Watinie betrayed me all those years ago.

"He broke your trust all those years ago~" Wihu called from not too far away. "Why is this time different?"

Suddenly a puddle on the asphalt ground rippled and pulled me down into it. The black water was thick and reminded me of my own blood. It was killing me. Suffocating me. I fought violently to get back to the surface to finally breath. Once I made it I jumped up the alleyway onto an apartment roof.

However

This roof. Was familiar as well. It reminded me of. Anger.

"Remember how that Neko girls family treated her?" Wihu purred in my ear. "Who says that you really made a difference? They probably have kicked her out at this point and she's living on the streets."

Saskie....I thought of the dependent friend I had made on my journey to find Takashie. That poor girl....her family.....angered me...

I jumped away, tears flying down my face. I had to get away. I had to leave this nightmare. I ran and ran until tall urban buildings were replaced by farmland.

I sank to my knees once Otone's family home came into view. What pain they possibly bring me...?

"False hope. That's what they did to you Shinata. They made you believe that you had a chance to work things out with Takashie."

I wobbled to get up then walked away slowly in a straight path. However ever so slowly, the background was changed into a forest and my straight path was changed to a horrible memory filled roof.

I got to the very edge waiting for Wihu at this point. I didn't care. I had given up. I'm too weak. I can't handle this much emotional abuse.

I turned around hearing steps behind me. Each step echoed through my brain sending chills down my spine. The human figure in front of me made my heart drop. His violet hair swayed in the imaginary wind of my mind.

He grew even closer until he I could feel his breath on the top of my head. Then suddenly he shoved me. I fell screaming off the roof. Except I didn't get the solitude of ground to land on. No. I kept falling. And kept screaming.

My eyes flew open as I felt the calls of the real world pulling me to safety from Wihu's grasp. It was Askie...and Watinie...?

"SHINATA!" They both screamed.

I pushed myself away from their grasps as well. Clawing my way through the dirt, cursing at my legs that added dead weight. I coughed again spitting up even more black goo.

I couldn't handle it. I started sobbing right then and there. My loud blubbering echoed through the forest. 

So much pain

Suddenly the Wolf approached me sitting down next to me. His tanned hand found its way to the top of my head where he stroked in order to give me comfort. I turned around to look at him.

He looked so worried...so sad to see me this way.

I beckoned him closer into a hug and he happily obliged. His sent, that I used to hate, filled my nose. However this time it was comforting...

Then he did something that surprised me. He howled. He howled for me. His head tilted up towards the moon as his ears pulled back behind his head. His scream filled my ears and my body with the slightest bit of hope. That I was going to be ok...even if it's not for very long.

Ahhhhhhh Oml WATINIE IS TOO CUTE FOR THIS WORLD. BIGGEST TSUNDERE.
