BEFORE AN: Yay! Chapter 2! This one is a bit shorter~

It was like something sharp was prodding its way through Leo's skull. Sending waves of pain and misery. He opened his eyes to see. Blood. Nothing but blood. Blood and bodies. Leo flinched back from both the sight and the putrid smell that settled in the air almost instantly. It truly was gag worthy, it smelt like so many things Leo couldn't think of a single way to describe it. He took a step, the sound of organs and blood squishing underneath his foot. Disgusting!

He ignored it to the best he could, pressing forward to look for… Whatever it was, or for whatever reason he was there in the first place. The corpses and limbs he passed slowly became more familiar as he walked along. Children… People he knew… Then the corpses suddenly were no more after a certain point. Leo blinked in confusion, turning behind. All those corpses were still there, why were there suddenly no more? He turned back again to see a single corpse lying in the distance. He skeptically stared for a moment.

Something doesn't feel right about this…

He slowly started walking forward, as he walked voices picked up in the air. He flinched when hearing one, it sounded like Elliot talking to him. "What are you doing, Leo?" his voice rang.

I… I don't know… What am I doing?

He pressed forward more, Elliot's voice rang more. "Who cares if you're reading? Freaking help me out."

I do… I enjoy it… It helps me… Wait…? How and why does it help me?

His breathing quickened as more voices other than Elliot's rang through the pitch black area. He was starting to panic.

Where am I? What am I doing here? What is with all the bodies? Why do I hear people? Why can I hear Elliot? Elliot isn't even here! Those were the children back there! The caretakers too! What the hell is happening here! Why is this happ-?

His panicked thoughts cut short when he got up to that corpse that was distant before. His nearly black eyes stared down at was before him. The gold lights in his eyes flickering at a rapid rate as he stared down in complete shock more than any other emotion.

Ell….iot?

The blonde Nightray was lying at Leo's feet, in a pool of blood. Wounds covering his body as well as the blood soaking his clothing. His legs gave out as he fell beside the corpse of the young Nightray. His dark eyes wide with fear and shock, the gold specks flickering spastically. Leo reached out and touched Elliot's cold, dead cheek.

No… Way… Elliot…? Hey… Answer me… This isn't funny… Hey, come on…

The shock passed and the cold, hard, reality crashed around him.

ELLIOT! Word Count: 461
