Blaze had heard the screaming.
He could barely tell where it was coming from the whole time-- all he knew was that it was Mercury's voice, but that didn't make sense, cause barely moments ago Mercury was peacefully sleeping and...
It had to be someone else.
Blaze entered other rooms and other places and tried to find the person screaming.
Logically, it could only be someone else.
Everyone was asleep, or gone. Blaze hoped he didn't disturb anyone. He just kept looking, and looking.
And looking. And looking. And looking.
Tired, exasperated, the screaming stopped-- the echo that made it impossible for him to find where it was coming from fading long away. He still kept looking, but he felt uneasy, unsure now.
His stomach churned as his sweaty palms rested against the door handle to Mercury's room.
He's so dumb. He should have checked here first.
Why are you always in denial? Why are you so-
Blaze turns the handle, the door creaking open as he took a tentative step forward into the darkness just to hear a dull trickle.
What was I thinking about again?
He reached behind himself and flicked the light on, taking a moment to process.
Maroon slowly seeped into the blankets and pooled inside of the very edge of one side of the blanket, drip, drip, dripping onto the floor beneath. The carpet squelched with warm wet as Blaze stared.
He's fine. That's fine. I'm fine.
His brain buzzed lifelessly. His mind mottled out the panic. I'm fine. He's confused. I'm confused.
Merc was nowhere to be found in the room.
Blaze stared down at the carpet.
What was I thinking about again?
>>On the ground, in an explosion of blood, is an area littered with feathers and bits of flesh
"blaze? that's a nice name. my name's mercury,"
>>There's a crushed moth in the dead center
"but.. uhm.. you already knew that, right?"
>>His plushies are covered in red
"its actually the moon in front of the sun. cool, right?"
>>His bed is covered in red
"maybe we should all hang out as a trio sometime? that'd be fun, wouldn't it?"
>>He'll walk in right now
>>And he'll have that nervous smile
>>And he'll have something to talk about
>>And he'll have another letter just for y
