Febuwhump 2026 - Day 3 - Ghost

Legs could still hear his voice. Like Owen was right next to him, whispering in his ear. Was this what it had come to? Insanity? 

Legs could still taste it, in the back of his throat, the sickly sweet flavour of his own insides as Owen had torn him apart. No matter how much animal blood tried to wash it away, it was still there, a bitter aftertaste. 

If you leave the vampires alive, they are going to kill everyone. 

Legs put his hands over his ears. He wasn’t going to let Owen carry anymore weight. He wasn’t going to let Owen do anymore damage. Legs had been far too naive before, to think he could inspire change in someone else when he himself was still so rotten on the inside. 

Everything you touch you kill. 

Legs pressed harder, his claws digging into his scalp, drawing thick dark blood. Owen was dead. Owen was dead. Owen was dead! The vestiges of his own guilt, of that monster now given fangs. 

Think of what you are capable of. 

A phantom beside him. Was it Legs’ imagination or did he feel a sudden chill? It was probably just the wind. Everything had an explanation… He was kidding himself if he didn’t believe in possibilities by now. The power of the mind. The power of a rage so deep it carried on beyond even death. Legs could feel his claws sinking into his own skull. 

It hurt. But so much less than thinking those words came from his own mind. Surely if he pressed hard enough he could silence them, silence him. Surely enough of his own blood would make it go away. 

You can’t trust them. 

Febuwhump Day 3: Ghost

Lingering touches of somebody long gone, hand-shaped bruises that don't exist anymore. Some things that are better forgotten.

pairings: gen

summary: a story about y/n, Redbull’s new second driver, told in non-sequential order

a/n: I love febuwhump and have participated before for other fandoms but this is a first for me — attempting to compete it via smau only. Hopefully I can write a complete story eventually and I will be posting it on its own masterlist in the correct order to read but it’ll be written based on the febuwhump prompt list! @febuwhump

a/n2: based on the 2024 year; sorry checo but you got replaced earlier!
