The Lost Ones

Chapter 6

The void continued for a long time, eventually transforming into forest with a floor of dark red ice. Blood began to drizzle from the sky.

Stampy stopped, confused by the change of surroundings and the liquid falling from the sky. He gasped as he slid and fell backward. His ears twitched as they were hit by the strange liquid and he shuddered. He held his hand out and stared at the strange colored liquid, not quite processing what it was exactly before starting to stand back up.

The ground began to crack under his feet, an ocean of blood underneath.

He gasped and stumbled backward, trying to keep from falling in. He quickly moved around it, away from the way he came and stared at it confused, but cautious of it breaking more.

Something was on the horizon, it began to grow as it ran towards him.

Stampy wasn't paying attention to it as he was watching the "ice" underneath him, making sure not to fall in.

Jason ran, Not being able to see due to the rain. The forest seemed endless, well until Jason ran into something.

Stella had tried to warn him but it was too late and both parties fell to the icy floor.

Stampy cried in surprise and quickly untangled himself from Jason and pushed back a little bit and stared at him. "Wh-What??" He muttered, confused.

Jason wiped the blood off of his face and stared at Stampy, another person. Without thinking he grabbed Stampy's arm and stood up, pulling his and running into another direction with Stampy behind. "Come on!"

Stampy squeaked in surprise and stumbled after Jason, noticing the ice still breaking and scrambled after him quickly.

Jason's metal boots broke the ice much easier than Stampy's sneakers. Jason pulled Stampy forward so that he was in front of him. "Run! Don't stop!"

Stampy nodded and kept going as fast as he could. He saw a mountain up ahead with a cave entrance a little way up. "Over here!" He called, leading them both to the mountain and climbed up and into the cave.

After they found the cave Jason immediately crashed, collapsing onto the ground. He breathed heavily, unable to speak.

Stampy watched him, panting as well but was tense.

"Jason, are you alright?" Stella's voice asked, keeping it quiet so Stampy couldn't hear her.

"Yeah..." Jason panted, looking up and accidentally making eye contact with Stampy.

Stampy's eyes widened as he made eye contact with him, making his hair and fur stand on edge at the sight. They wore a helmet but the visor was up and their face was covered in that red- oh gosh. Stampy paled as he gave a small cry and scrambled backwards, falling back slightly.

That was blood. Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh- That wasn't rain, well, it was but not water, it had been blood and he was soaked in it! It was all over him and that guy and who even was that guy and-

Stampy started to panic and curled up on himself, shaking.

"Wait!" Jason tore off his helmet, setting it aside. Next he look off his gloves, wiping the blood off from around his eyes. He leaned a bit closer to Stampy and held out his hand, which was visibly shaking. He had no idea what to do, or even who was sitting in front of him, was he even real?

Stampy flinched away from the movement, having discarded his glasses to his inventory since they were covered in blood, and hissed at him, baring slight fangs at him, pupils shrinking a bit, still shaking.

"Jason!" Stella called. "Did you just throw me?!"

"Sorry..." Jason muttered to Stella. He took his hand back, startled by the hissing. He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts.
