Souls: Beginning Of The End [Book 2]

Chapter Seventeen: Leaving? Never Heard Of the Word

Goth looked around, "um I actually don't know where we are...." Palette sighed and examined the corridor, "hmm. Well let's see where do you want to go?" Goth thought, "oh! Um my room!" Palette nodded and weakly pointed in a direction, "go that way then take a left. You'll get a hallway and then hang a right, your room should be the second door to the left."

Goth was a bit creeped out by Palette knowing that so well but ignored it and walked on. Goth followed Palette's directions and ended at a door. Sure enough it was the room he had been staying in. Palette removed his arm from around Goth's shoulder and leaned against the wall. Goth stared at the door knob before turning it, "I'm sure Moonlight and Graident won't mind you coming in..."

The door suddenly flew open. Moonlight was standing in the doorway with a furious expression, "Goth where the hell were you!? You were supposed be back three hours ago!" Goth nervously smiled, "ah sorry Moonlight! I got caught up with something!" Moonlight stared at him, "caught up with what?"

Palette limped into view, "sorry. It's my fault. Goth was just making sure I was alright." Graident walked to the door and examined Palette, "you look like literal shit." Palette blinked, "language." Moonlight smirked, "Goth you should've told us your boyfriend was hurt! We would've pushed it aside!" Goth pulled his scarf over his face. Palette seemed oblivious to Moonlights words.

Moonlight stepped aside, "come on in. Heard Outer's got someone more strict patrolling since this kid was injured. What happened anyway?" Goth and Palette both exchanged glances before breaking into nervous laughter. Graident adjusted his glasses and closed the door, "we have to leave soon you know. Palette can't come." Goth seemed irritated by that, "he's coming."

Palette sighed. Moonlight smirked, "ah I see you two don't want to be separated, makes sense." Moonlight crossed his arms, "we have your bag packed already Goth. We have some spare time and we deserve an explanation."

"Geez that kid surely dosen't give up." Cray was ignored. Obviously the two that could see and hear him didn't want to seem crazy. Cray rolled his eyelights and fazed away into a shadow on the wall.

Moonlight was tapping his foot lightly on the ground, "so. Are you going to explain? We're stationed in the same place so you can't escape from me." Goth sighed, "it's nothing really I just found Palette injured and mom fixed him up!"

Moonlight didn't seem convinced, "oh really? Then why was Mr. Geno arguing with Outer? I'm sure there was something behind that." Graident was giving Palette a shirt to wear to cover his bandages. The two weren't worried about Moonlight at the moment.

Graident held up a white shirt infront of Palette, "this is the smallest thing we have. Its Goth's shirt but I'm sure he won't mind lending it to you!" Palette took it and thanked Graident. Palette then slipped it on. The bandages on his arms still showed but other that he was comfortable.

The two then looked over to see Moonlight towering over a nervous Goth. Graident sighed, "would you stop Moonlight? They don't want to talk about it so don't make them. We already have enough information!" Moonlight sighed and stepped away from Goth, "fine....but I'm still going to find something out!"

There was a light knock on the door that startled them all. Palette moved to the bathroom incase it was someone he knew. Goth opened the door to face a smiling Ink, "hey Goth! Palette wasn't in the infirmary so I guessed you brought him back here! I brought his scarf and hat, though his shirt is still stained with blood..."

Palette walked into view, "oh! Thank you Mr. Ink that's very kind of you!" Ink smiled wider and handed Palette his clothes, "well I should be off. I'll come back to get you kids!" Goth immediately shut the door. Graident sighed, "this is going to be long trip no doubt....if only everyone could teleport!" Moonlight gave him a look, "what's that supposed to mean smart ass?"

Palette looked uncomfortable with the use of language. He had already put on his hat and scarf. Graident shrugged, "well it'll take too much energy to teleport multiple people at once, and most of the adults that can only have two arms." Moonlight rolled his eyelights, "you are sooo annoying, ya know that?" Graident pushed his glasses up on his nose, "I've been told."

Sprinkle sighed as Desire and Raven continued to argue. They both haven't gotten over the breakfast joke. Sprinkle walked to the door and opened it, "I'm leaving."

The arguing stopped. Desire looked over at Sprinkle, "why? Your not allowed to leave though!" Sprinkle shut the door, "I know. I just did it so you two would stop arguing!" Raven frowned and shoved his hands inside his pockets, "alright fair enough, I'll stop. You two won't have to worry about me after today anyways."

Desire looked down at the ground, "I'll stop too, it was my doing." Sprinkle smiled, "thanks!"

Noah groaned and stared up at the ceiling, "this is so boring! Why'd we get put on house arrest again?" Incubux sighed, "cause of that Palette kid. Evidently he got injured and the reason was abuse so that Geno guy flipped out and punched Outer."

Paperjam snorted, "sounds like him." Paperjam was coloring in a sketchbook. Noah frowned, "how much longer until we leave?" Incubux groaned, "how many questions do you even have!? We're leaving in an hour dumbass!"

Noah sat up and smiled at Incubux, "I'm going to tell mom you cussed again!" Incubux rolled his eyelights, "well I'll just tell mom that you were being annoying!" Noah suddenly grew a look of confusion, "wait....why do we call mom 'mom' if he's a boy?"

Both Paperjam and Incubux groaned. Noah was left questioning his entire existence.

Shino wrapped her scarf around her neck and struggled to reach the sink. She internally cursed at her shortness. Her roommates were still in their main room talking. Shino finally was able to turn on the water. She ran her hands under the water letting it wash away the substance on her hands.

Shino turned the water off and dried her hands. She then walked back into the main room where Ying and Yang were. Ying smiled at her, "hi Shino! We're playing uno want to join us?" Yang gave Ying a look, "she's three, how is she supposed to know how to play uno." Shino took offense to his statement but then remembered she was supposed to be acting like a normal three year old.

Ying waved Yang off, "stop being rude! We could teach her!" Yang rolled his eyelight and stared down at his cards. Ying smiled at Shino, "would you like to join us?"

Shino stood still for a second before shaking her skull in denial. Shino then opened the door and left the room. Ying was going to stop her only to be shushed by Yang, "leave her be Ying. She's obviously not normal."

Shino sighed and walked down a hallway. She happened to hear voices in a room close to her. Shino walked closer and pressed her skull against the door to hear the conversation better. What she heard surprised her.
