To Save A Life Ch 1

I think i'm actually getting better at updating (: it's summer, and I'm working on getting a job so I can help pay medical bills for my grandma. I'm also going to see if i can convince someone to go to the hospital. Maybe if i can pay for it, they can get it looked at. But they have a brain tumor(i dont think im supposed to know, but i do). Hopefully i'm able to find something that will take less than an hour to walk to(cuz i live somewhere that doesnt have many places hiring. It only has about three stores within walking distances, and busses dont run here) hopefully that all works out... Onto story time (:

Arthur reaches out with his left hand, making contact with the soft magenta fabric. The other turns slightly as his hand touches him.

Arthur pushes him, a look of betrayal and fear displayed on his face as he falls. Certain he is going to die, he cries out and closes his eyes, a single tear making its way out and falling along with him.

Arthur's face is half frowning, tears cascading down and falling to meet his friend as he falls to the bottom of the darkened cavern. The other half is a sickly green, a cruel smile showing as chuckling could be heard.

It was only a short few seconds until Lewis hit the ground, his lower abdomen pierced by a stalagmite. To Arthur, it felt so much longer as he watched him fall through the green haze of the cave. He could hear something behind him but he couldn't turn around to look and see what it was. A second later, he could feel an intense pain in his arm. The tingling sensation in him was fading and he could move again, although clumsily. His vision quickly fades to black as he falls to the ground atop the cavern. The last thing he sees is what looks to be a giant white fox

~~time skip~~ ((read that in a nasally singing voice haha))

Lewis awakens to see a white ceiling. He turns, seeing a head of soft blue hair. He smiles, attempting to sit up. He fails the first time, managing to sit up enough to look around before the sleeping girl awakens and squeals in joy at seeing him awake.

"Lewis! I thought you were gone" she says as she embraces him. "I missed you so much!"

He thinks for a moment, the haze of his mind clearing enough for him to think properly. He pushes her off gently, speaking firmly. "Vivi, where is Arthur?"

Vivi looks puzzled for a moment before responding. "He's in his hospital bed healing, why?"

"Stay away from him, Viv." Lewis reponds, ignoring her questions.

"What? Why?"

"Because he-he tried to kill me... He pushed my off a cliff. Back-back in the cave..."

The blunette backs up, confused and startled by the thought. "He... He pushed you? What?... W...Why? W-What happened? He... He couldn't have... You're joking, right?"

"He tried to kill me Vivi. I turned around... And he pushed me. I don't know why and I don't want to... I thought... I thought we were friends." The injured man responds sadly

~~next day cuz this chapter would be too short without it~~

Vivi goes to see Arthur the next day, confused and hurt. She opens the door, seeing him laying in bed looking out the window. She knew Lewis wouldn't want her in here, but she just had to know.

"... Arthur?" She calls out hesitantly

He turns to look at her, smiling slightly, "Viv..." He sighs, "You're alright."

"Arthur, we need to talk." She states, taking a few steps forward and looking at him firmly

His expression looks serious, concern showing through.

"Just answer me... Did... Did you try to kill Lewis?" She asks, her voice breaking

Arthur's mouth opens and closes a few times, finally settling on nodding with his eyes closed. How could he respond? He was possessed? It was still him... It did happen, as much as it hurt. He saw it all, and he did nothing

Vivi sobs loudly, rushing out of the room. She had heard all she could take, just the thought of him doing something so sinister bringing her to tears.
