Silent Letters

Chapter 26

-------------

Panting and sloppily dodging debris, the group ran like their lives depended on it. Which they did.

Alphys stumbled and tripped, crying out. Undyne yanked her up before those things could even touch her.

"Hurry! There's a warehouse over there! If we can get to the roof then we can roof jump until we can get back to ground!" Killer was next to Error, helping him kill of zombies in front of the group as they ran.

Swapfell was panting, his legs growing tired as he was struggling to carry Dust and the smol knew it too. "S-Swapfell! Y-you're getting too weak! J-Just leave me!" Dust shouted over the gunshots and the angry snarling of the undead.

"Fuck no! I ain't leaving you!" He snapped and jumped over a large crate. As he landed, his legs wobbled a bit and he nearly fell over. "Oi Swap! Trade me!" Undyne shouted and ran side by side next to Swapfell.

Undyne gave him a gun and in exchange took Dust onto her back much to Swapfell's relief. Swapfell was able to turn slightly and shoot at the zombies behind him. "Pay attention! We're nearly there!" Reaper shouted at him.

Geno's vision was becoming blurry and he was panting, his aoul pounding in his ears. He stumbled a bit and Reaper wrapped an arm around his waist, supporting the smaller. Geno was on the brink of unconsciousness and Reaper felt a pang of panic.

"Fresh! Get to the ladder! Obce you reach the top kick the rest down! We'll follow!" Error shoved Fresh forward, boosting him and giving the small 90's skeleton an intense burst of speed. Fresh jumped onto the ladder and scrambled up, kicking the rest down for the others once he reached a fair height.

Error was next to climb up, then Reaper even though it was a struggle because he had to carry Geno. Undyne was next, Dust on her back and Alphys right behind her. Swapfell was next, then Killer.

A bar snapped when Killer put his foot on it and he slipped, yelping as his other foot slipped. "HELP!" He shrieked as he kicked at a few zombies that were trying to grab at his legs. Swapfell held out a hand and Killer stretched up and grabbed it. Swapfell slowly pulled him up even though he was going as fast as his weak body would allow.

Something grabbed onto Killer's leg and he screamed as it tore a long gash down the bone. Swapfell yanked Killer up, difficult as it was and dragged him up onto the roof. Killer was laid down squirming and gasping in pain, clutching onto his bleeding leg. "T-That f-fucker scratched me!" He cried out as his leg burned and throbbed.

Fresh was at his side instantly and on his knees, gripping onto Killer's hand. "M-maybe we c-can bandage it or something! R-right?" Fresh turned to the group, his eyes wide with hope and desperation.

"You i-idiot..i-it's too late.." Killer panted, his face scrunching up in pain. "N-no! Y-you're wrong!" Fresh trembled. "T-there has t-to be a-" He was cut off as Killer grabbed him by the collor and yanked him down, closing the gap that was quickly made.

Tears rolled down Fresh's face as the kissed softly. Fresh cupped Killer's cheek gently. "C-c'mon now..d-don't cry.." Killer gave a weak smile. Fresh didn't try to cease his tears, touching his forhead to Killer's. "A-asshole..y-you aren't s-supposed to leave me." He whimpered and Killer let out a breathless chuckle.

"S-some of us c-can't keep promises.." Killer closed his eyes, his breathing becoming shallow. A low growl emitted from Killer's throat, slowly becoming a snarl.

"S-shoot me." He demanded, the color quickly draining from his face. "If y-you won't, t-then one o-of them will!" He shouted. "B-because I-I am N-NOT turning into one of those f-freaks!" Tears were running down his own face.

"P-please.." Another growl slipped from him and his hands curled into fists. "P-PLEASE!" He let out a sob. Fresh turned to Swapfell and held out his hand. Swapfell slowly gave him the gun and Fresh bit his lip, trying to restrain a sob.

He pressed the gun to Killer's temple, hiccupping. "I-i'm sorry.." He whispered and Killer shook his head. "Never f-forget w-what I told you e-every day.." Killer whispered and Fresh nodded. "I love you too.." He squeezed his eyes shut when Killer nodded. He squeezed the trigger, dropping the gun afterward and covering his face, sobbing. He hugged Killer to his chest, kissing his forehead.

He sat there for how long, not knowing or caring. Guilt washed over his body and it weighed his soul down. The very first lover he had ever had, was now limp and lifeless in his arms and bleeding out.

Nobody ever knew that they were a thing. Not even his brothers knew. Eventually they had to leave. Leave..Killer behind. It pained all of them, and it pained them even more to see Fresh sobbing his eyes out. They walked until they could walk no more and they finally all collapsed.

Now, Fresh was scared, depressed, hungry..heartbroken.

Geno was laying in Reaper's lap, hugging his stomach and whining in pain. "Reaperrr..i-it hurts so bad.." He hiccuped and Reaper frowned, nuzzling him. "It'll pass my love..just stay strong..it'll pass.." He murmured and Geno nodded, whimpering. Geno whined again and screwed his eye shut, trembling.

Reaper gently placed his hand on Geno's belly and his hand glowed softly sending pulses of energy throughout Geno's frail and exhausted body. The magic soothed the pain and Geno hummed, relaxing. "I love you." Reaper cooed and Geno smiled, "I love you too.." He purred and nuzzled Reaper.

Error and Ink were leaning on eachother, frowning as they watched Fresh stare at the ground, curled up in a dull ball of dispair. Nobody had known that Fresh and Killer were a thing. They all just assumed it was some sort of bromance type of thing.

It pained Error to see his little brother like this. Error gently touched Fresh's should and immediately the smaller rolled over and clung onto to Error and sobbed.

"I'm so sorry brother.."
