Flug's p.o.v

      I started sobbing again, my lungs starting to burn from barley breathing. I looked at all the pages of Black Hat I had torn from my book. The notebook was practically empty now. I was looking for a curtain page in particular, but had no luck finding it. Blackness edged it's way into my vision. I soon blacked out, falling to the floor with a loud "thud!"

      "Flug, darling, it's time to get up," I heard my mother say. I looked up, opening my eyes and saw my mum ruffling my hair. "Can I go play with my friend, mum?" I asked. She looked at me then smiled softly. "Yes, just be back before sunset," she said, "You're still just 5 years old." I crossed my arms. "Mum, I'm almost six! I'll be a big boy soon!" She chuckled, "Fine, be back by sunset." I smiled up at her. "Thanks, mum!" I ran outside and over to a gray house. "There you are, fwug! What took chu so wong?" My friend in a tophat asked, hugging me tightly.

      "But, mom!" I said as she and dad helped load boxes into the moving truck. "No buts! And I said no!" I got mad. "But he's my friend, he deserves to know I'm moving!" She slapped me after she had loaded her box into the truck. "He's EVIL! You're supposed to be a hero like me and your father!" I ran off holding my cheek with tears in my eyes. I ran all the way to that gray little house and right into my friends arms. He hugged me tightly as I cried on his shoulder.

      I laughed to myself and looked back at my friend, slug. "So wait, you burned them alive after saying 'burn in hell'?!" He was laughing pretty hard. "Yup, then I came to you, we stole a plane, and, well, here we are!" I said, looking back to the blue sky. "You aren't evil enough, I don't believe it," slug was just chuckling now. "Oh yeah? I'll crash this plane into some random guys house and not regret it!" I said. He looked at me and said, "do it". So I did.

      I let the plane fall. Slug ended up  falling out of the plane, but he had a parachute ready for a situation like that. I was stuck in the pilot's seat, and the plane was already out of gas. I was dead. The plane crashed into a house shaped like a tophat. I blacked out, hearing a deep voice just before I did. "Why, hello there."

      I woke up and noticed that I was in a room I didn't recognize. It was almost all white, besides the grey in the room. I saw a worried 5.0.5 and Demencia. Then the door to the room opened and Black Hat walked in. There was something in his visible eye, it was... Fear and worry...
