The sound of gunfire and explosions echoed throughout the abandoned base. Two men were fighting to the death. There was a final BANG and everything went silent.

Theta's POV

"North? North! Get up! Why are you sleeping?"

It was hard to tell where the bullet entered his body. There was so much blood. But North was tough; he could handle anything. He just needed to rest, and then he'd kill this thing that was trying to take him away. He promised he'd protect him. He was only sleeping...right?

Come with us, Theta.

He turned to face the source of the voices. He was shocked and delighted to find his brothers and sisters, who were not even five feet away. His joy turned into horror when he realized they were surrounding the monster who wanted to take Theta. He turned back to North who was only asleep why won't he get up come on North wake up wake up wake up!

"North, I'm scared! Come on, wake up! Please!"

He turned back to his siblings, his tear-filled eyes saying 'Help me!' One by one, they disapeared until only one was left.

Sigma?

Sigma walked almost casually to Theta, kneeling down in front of him. He placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Theta. North lied to you. He isn't going to help you."

He...lied? No, North would never lie to him!

Then, why hasn't he woken up yet?

"Come with us, Theta," he heard Sigma say. "We'll protect you."

Slowly, Theta stood up, and allowed himself to be lead towards the creature that was paitently. He glanced at North one last time.

North, wake up...please!

But North remained asleep.
