The Infinite Living -Creek-

My Beloved Craig

To Craig-
"To where he was shaking, I was slowly breaking."

Craig's dad had given Tweek a glass of water. Tweek shivered from head to toe. Over 3 hours passed and Craig still didn't return. Tweek's heartbeat became slower. The beating getting louder and louder.

"He's never gone missing for this long. When he is, he usually let's me know." CJ hugged Tweek trying to comfort him.

"I'll go out to look. Make sure he's okay." Craig's dad left, going out to search.

"He promised that he would come back." CJ got closer to Tweek. Tweek shut his eyes for a mere second. He opened them up seeing his one and only Craig.

"C-Craig! You're back!" Tweek got up and wrapped his arms around his lover.

"S-sorry! I didn't mean to take long! They needed me to check all the files and sign a couple of papers. I didn't know it would take long." He smiled.

"Files? Signing papers? Rebulite usually does all that work. Was she not there at the office today?" Tweek perked up.

"Oh yeah she wasn't!" Craig answered quickly.

"You actually smell different. Like sweet lilies and roses. You usually have the scent of death following. Also, wasn't there a strong source of energy there?" Tweek explained while getting suspicious.

"There was an explosion there that was from the spring waters. All the water was evaporated and the land was dried. I guess it wasn't suitable for this land. It took awhile just going into cleaning it all up. It was a bummer seeing it all go away. But no more questions. I'm back in one piece. That's the good thing right?" Craig smirked and leaned in for a kiss.

CJ took a closer look at his father. Something seemed odd. He wasn't like his usual self. Sure, the scent was different but it was something else. Craig wouldn't just throw his words around. 'I guess...a bummer..'  Not to mention his stutter. He would be more confident in his statements. Confident as if he was giving a command. He was not one to answer quick. He doesn't answer fast. He takes time so others can understand better. It doesn't add up all together. Craig speaking fast, using a different dictionary of words, a sense of worry? CJ looked back up and saw a glimpse of red flowing in Craig's eyes. They were radiant.

"D-Dad! Ah...Mo-" CJ was still unsure what to call for but before he could figure it out, he was far too late as the two joined lips. CJ felt a heartbeat for a mere second. He shook in fear.

As the two kissed, a fluid dripping from the fangs of Craig slipped into Tweek's mouth. Craig looked down at CJ and eyed him. The two parted and Tweek felt his lips. The fluid he swallowed began to burn in him. Craig took his steps after CJ while he took his steps back.

'D-don't be afraid little one. There's no need to be afraid." Craig undisguised then revealed what the true identity was. Transforming back to normal self from head to toe. It was Craig's younger sister.

Tweek fell down to his knees, then lying down on his side. His breath becoming heavy and cold.

"What did you do to him? Is he dying? But he's im-"

"Immortal?" Tricia interrupted, laughing maniacally. "Oh please! You can't just believe that just because you're immortal, means you can't die. If it is true then why is my mother dead?! She didn't deserve it! And do you really think you're father killed the Reaper Leader? He summoned him away because he wasn't strong enough! But oh! I've found a way to kill an immortal. The flame of their soul tells it all. I passed on a venom from the depths of hell! The blood of Satan's tongue! A lick from him and your skin would melt. Now it will slowly rot out his soul. Now you must watch!"

Tricia grabbed on to CJ's neck and held him up. Her nails were sharp like a stiletto tip. They pricked through the soft skin of CJ.

"You will watch just like how I did with my mother. To think that my big brother would be willing enough to raise a child and to love an angel? He's gone weak! The only way to release his true powers is to hurt someone so special to him. His family. Watch!"

She gripped tighter to his neck forcing his eyes to open wide. CJ struggled to become free. The risk of suffocating caused him to drool and attempt to pull away. The more he squirmed, the more he was choking.

Tweek was slowly dying. The more time passed, the more pain he gained. With all his strength, he rose his arm.

"I w-won't let him d-die." Petals bloomed and fluttered around Tricia's wrist. She noticed and let go of her gripping. CJ was gone. She raced over to Tweek and put her foot down onto his chest.

"Where did the brat go?!" She put down more pressure. Tweek stayed quiet.

"Tsk! Whatever!" She kicked him off to the side. "There's no need to worry about scum like you. I'll let you die alone. I have some work to do. There's no Craig to come around and save your life this time." She vanished away leaving dust behind.

'Be safe CJ. Get help while the gates are closed. Let your light live on. Don't let her w-' Tweek's eyes shut heavy, losing his last air of breath. Becoming the end of his life.
