Ink's P.O.V
I was walking home from the library with a few books in hand sense I needed them for class. It was a fairly crisp evening as leaves crunched under my shoes and gave me a good feeling but, as I walked past a specific house something seemed 'off'. It felt like misery lived there and nothing positive could be sensed. I kept going trying to leave it alone when a car suddenly drived up and if I wouldn't of ran past the driveway I would of been hit.

The owner of the car who seemed pissed and a few more people came out and stared at me. They were obviously drunk because they smelled of alcohol. The driver yelled at the others to get cleaned up then yelled at me to watch where I was going or I would get hit next time. With that they went inside.

I walked away feeling pissed only to look back and see the same people beating a kid that I quickly recognized to be Error. I quickly hid and called authorities about it then aimed the microphone part towards the beating. I felt guilty but, it was the first thing I could think of. I got a clarification that they were on the way and then they hung up. With that I ran into the chaos and quickly grabbed Error. He struggled which made sense but, I tried keeping him from hurting himself as he lashed out screaming in fear and pain. I was panicked and scared to as blood seeped from his injuries but, to ease his pain I acted as a shield as I took the beating meant for Error. I instinctively used my magic but, that made things ten times worse as I could tell error was already combating it with his own causing more damage to himself so I stopped.

Error's P.O.V
thoughts: "everything hurts, I did what they wanted me to so why am I being punished? Who the hell is holding me? they need to leave or they will suffer too! Why am I feeling magic besides my own!? my family hardly ever uses it even during beatings... Everything is getting dark.."

3rd person P.O.V
Lights filled the area and several people stared out trying to figure out what was going on. When the situation was seen several mothers and fathers ran out while the kids and pets were kept back by siblings and grandparents. Before long Error's parents and some of their drunker friends were placed in police cruisers.

A stretcher was brought over for both Error and Ink as they were both in bad shape as they had head trauma, were bleeding and unconscious. A lady had given the paramedic Ink's bag as it was on the ground right near where a decent puddle of their own blood had formed. the paramedic placed it on Ink's stretcher as they left.

Several minutes later both boys arrived at the hospital and were carted into emergency rooms to get them stable as they were suffering blood loss. monster doctors used magic medical strings to stitch there deeper injuries but, the doctors had trouble with error as his magic was dropping fast and more of his injuries revealed themselves. The doctors in the room struggled to keep their anger in check but, they couldn't lose it as his life was on the line.

After nearly four hours the boys were stabilized but, their survival was unknown. With all the damage they suffered it would be up to their own magic to help with their injuries and amnesia was very likely with both of them as they sustained the worst damage on their heads. Everything is unknown till they wake up if they wake up and all the doctors were praying for them to make a full recovery. Just before they left the room one of Ink's hands held Error's and he held ink's back.
