-GOLDEN THORNS-

~Chapter 8: Imy~

Rose looked at his creation in despair. He was alone in his room with this Mars look alike while he was trying to get over him. This certainly didn't help. Like, at all. Just then, someone tried to come in. He turned around and in a flash, everything changed. Bane layed on the floor, bleeding from his mouth. He just punched his best friend in the face. He gasped. Why was he so violent? He dragged Bane into his room and walked back to his own while trying to forget what happened. But he couldn't. He punched his best friend. With a metal arm. That's not something you can forget easily.

Just then, a silhouette appeared out of nowhere. He had a rather broad chest, and was very plant-like. Rose was knocked back, and was crawling away, while looking at the green, familiar looking figure. Then, it spoke. "Hey there, bud! How ya doing man?". Rose calmed down a little, but was still surprised that the guy who ruined his life talked like a dude-bro mixed with a fishing dad.

"I see you've recovered from our last deal" it said, pointing to Rose's brand new metal arm. "How absolutely dandy-perfect-amazing." It said sarcastically. "Well I heard you missed a certain 'Mars' character, hm?" the figure said. Rose couldn't talk much during this whole charade, but he was able to meekly say a little "Uh yeah..." while stuttering.

"Well I could bring him back!" the plant man said. "W-WHAT!?" Rose yelled, shocked. "Yeah! And no cards this time! All I ask is for your eye." the plant man answered. Rose without hesitation or any thought said "Yes! Of course!". The plant man immediately ripped out Rose's eye and took out a card. A card labeled "Life". Rose got excited, and reached for it. "Nuh uh uh!" The plant man said. "I never said you could choose who to use it on". It immediately threw the card onto the statue, and disappeared.

Rose looked in a mirror. He was missing an eye, but kept his metal arm at least. Then, he heard a loud CLANK! His statue fell to the floor, and got up. It looked in the mirror, and then screamed "WOW, I'M ART!". Rose covered his ears. The creation walked over to Rose and screamed in his ear "WHAT IS MY NAME?". Rose suddenly couldn't hear in his right ear. That's because that ear went deaf. Rose sighed. "Can you NOT scream?" he said. "I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T DO THAT! YOU WERE ANGRY WHEN YOU MADE ME, THUS I CAN ONLY SCREAM!". Rose was confused, but sighed. "Your name is 'I miss you'" Rose simply stated. "THAT'S NOT A VERY GOOD NAME. HOW ABOUT MY NAME IS IMY?" the new creation replied. "Yeah, yeah. Sure, whatever". Rose didn't care much. He just wanted things to go back to normal. "THANK YOU!" Imy said.

Rose pushed him out of the room and into a storage closet. "Yeah, yeah, just stay in there. Forever". Rose journeyed back to his own room, but slipped on a puddle of water, and flung up into the air. He tried to turn around to fall on his feet, but instead he landed face first into the floor. His body lied there, cold and lifeless.
