Arthur gripped onto Lewis as he yells died down to loud cries and whimpers. Lewis was filled with so much regret. He gently sliced the spike's base and lifted Arthur up, the spikes still in him and intact. He knew if he pulled him off of them, Arthur would die under a minute due to blood loss. But he was still headed down that path.

Lewis teleported them to the Semi. As he did though...Mystery walked out from behind the Semi, a bit beat up but reletivily okay from an encounter with Shiromori. Mystery growled lowly and barked loudly, his voice echoing. Lewis hissed, not having the time. He then noticed the collar, but was too worried to care about their dog being a demon.

"MYSTERY KNOCK IT OFF!" Lewis then ran into the van and laid Arthur down.

Dead beats then swarmed him and began to chant healing spells, casting them onto him. Lewis read a lot about them while he was alive. He looked at Arthur as he just panted loudly and with heavy labor.

He was definitely a fighter.

Mystery went into the Semi, and sat in the seats behind the front ones, a small space being behind them that Lewis made for Mystery. Lewis then stomped on the gas and drove down the road leading to the highway.  

"W-Well..t-this sucks..." Arthur weakly mumbled. 

"Arthur, i appreciate you trying to lighten the tension of you potentially dying, but please save your air."Lewis frowned. "I'm taking you to the nearest hospital."

"Lewis, I-I...im so sorry...it wasn't my fault."Arthur frowned. "I swear. I never wanted...to hurt you...im sorry...i deserve this...for making you hurt...i-"

"Don't..."Lewis choked lightly but calmed himself."I know it wasn't your fault...It was a demon within you that pushed me off that cliff. It escaped, but ill kill for hurting both me and you." Lewis smiled weakly. "I should be the one saying sorry. Now shut the hell up knuckle head and get focused on living." Lewis then focused on healing Arthur through his deadbeats and driving the Semi.

Mystery whined and wrapped a tail in front of Arthur to separate him and Lewis, only allowing the deadbeats to work on him, sense he didn't trust Lewis at all at the moment. Mystery was protective over Arthur, because he would actually prefer Arthur over Vivi and the past Lewis. 

 Arthur winced as a rib snapped back in place and let out a loud yell of a cry, in pure pain at the moment. Tears fell quicker from the orange head's eyes and Mystery whimpered and licked them away, not minding their salty taste. Lewis winced at the cry and made his deadbeats focus more on the healing then anything. Arthur kept on crying  out when bones snapped back into their rightful place. Mystery kept him comforted when this happened, and got twice as protective each time the Man yelled or screamed in pain. 

"Hang in there bud."Lewis sighed. 

He then saw the van speed down the hallway and match the Semi's speed as they traveled down the empty highway. Lewis looked over with confusion and wonder. He then saw that irriplacable blue hair and scarf, He mouthed the word "Vivi" and turned forwards, honking the horn at her, hearing a honk in responce. Lewis then got an idea and magiced an airhorn and rolled the window down and stuck it out and because to speek in code, honking out words with the can of loud noise. Vivi then frantically scream honked back at him, putting her tractor beams on, making Lewis remind himself to do so as well. Vivi then drove into the same lane and drove a tad bit faster then Lewis was, and basically escorted the Semi. 

Once at the Hospital Lewis slammed the brakes, knowing Mystery was braced for it anyways. He jerked forwards against the steering wheel before stopping entirely. He then made the Semi Disappear the same time Mystery went dog mode again.  Lewis caught Arthur and winced at his scream. Vivi then ran over, crying in worry. 

"WHO ARE YOU!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?" She screamed at Lewis.

Lewis was hurt as he walked quickly to the hospital doors before he remembered that she had completely forgotten about the event that occured that one night.

"I was exploring the cave i died in and Arthur slipped and fell, his dog was with him too." Lewis answered."How did you get to the van? You must live far from it." Lewis asked. 

"I ran after my dog became a demon! Which we need to discuss by the way!"She eyed mystery, who shrugged back at her. "And how in the hell do you know who Arthur is you-wait are you a gho..WHAT IS HAPPENING!?"Vivi snapped and looked at them.

"I am a ghost...but right now Arthur is more important!"Lewis snapped as he walked towards the doctors office.

"You just met him! WHY are you holding him like you know him!?"Vivi cried more.

"Hello how may i- OH DEAR GOD"The woman gasped at the sight of the hole punched Arthur."I NEED AN EMERGENCY SURGERY TABLE PREPPED NOW! A MAN IS STABBED AND WOUNDED!"The woman called.

Doctors came running in with an iv and a bed and Lewis set him down on the bed and watched them run the whaling orange head down the hall and into a surgery room, a doctor dashing down the hall, throwing a mask over her mouth. 

"How did this happen?"The woman looked to Lewis."Are you related? What's his name?"

"Im Lewis Pepper and he is Arthur Kingsman. He was walking inside the cave i was exploring and i saw him slip and fall, his dog barked at me and i ran over and drove here as fast as i could! We aren't related. But she is his close friend Vivi." Lewis explained quickly.

"Thanks."The woman typed it down the moment it all came out of his mouth.

Lewis walked over to the waiting room and sat down, Mystery walked over in a prancy mannor while Vivi stomped over. 

"STOP LEAVING ME IN THE DARK!" She screamed. 

"VIVI!"Lewis grabbed her and opened his locket and shoved it in her face, "Look.." He mumbled. 

Pink magic swarmed her eyes and she gasped, falling silent. The moment the pink vanished she looked at Lewis, and slapped the shit out of him, panting heavily. 

"You tried to get revenge because you didn't know...My dog tore his arm of....h-he didn't have an accident with it afterall..."She looked down and continued to cry. Lewis went to comfort her but he was shoved away."DON'T TOUCH ME!" She screamed.

"r-right..."Lewis looked away.

The three sat there in silence, a very tense and stressed silence and Lewis got stared at, sense his whites of his eyes were pkace, and he was radiating magenta, and pink flames lifted off from him here and there, He wasn't breathing either, just sitting there like a dead man thinking. Mystery whined and rubbed against Mystery, but she rejected his comfort as well. A nurse had to come out and bring her into a different room sense she was stressing out the other patients, and because the nurse knew she needed outside comfort from others, not from the ones close to her sense they were the center of her pain. This left Lewis entierly alone with Mystery. 

"God i'm an idiot."Lewis sighed. 

"Yup." Mystery nodded quietly sense no one was staring anymore, him keeping his speach quiet. 

Lewis hid his face in his hands and cried quietly, only this time, Mystery's comfort was allowed. Mystery rubbed against him and moved into his lap. Lewis hugged the dog like he was a pillow and cried softly into his fur, accepting the comfort and support gladly, even though he didn't deserve any of it. It wasn't Arthur's fault at all, but this was completely Lewis's fault that Arthur is almost dead this time around. It's not evened out at all. It's all lop sided. Lewis being the main bad thing in this whole mess. Mystery thought each were just innocent. Arthur was possessed, and Lewis didn't know. A clueless vengeful victum, both like brothers, now torn apart. Only their roles are opposite. One is dying possibly, and the other is bawling their eyes out.

What a hot mess...
