There wa2 no way the 2hadow bea2t wa2 goiing to make thii2 ea2y for Feferii, Ii had to do 2omethiing. Ii heard whii2per2 iin my head telling me Ii could make my body freeze up 2o Feferii could have an easiier tiime catchiing the 2hadow bea2t.
"Do you hone2tly thiink you'll have a chance?" Ii a2ked.
"I know I will for Sollux's sake." Feferii 2aiid. "I )(ave to believe )(e's going to )(elp me."
"Hahahahaha! You thiink 2o, then your an iidiiot." Ii 2aiid.
Ii went to 2triike her wiith my claws but 2he blocked my attack wiith her triident and triied to 2tab at me. Ii jumped back growling at her and Ii 2tarted to ciircle around tryiing to fiind her weak poiint. Deep iin2iide my2elf Ii wa2 hopiing Feferii would keep thii2 up.
")(e's faster and stronger t)(an before." Feferii 2aiid.
"Becareful Feferi, you don't vwant anything going vwrong!" Cro 2houted a2 he and Kankrii arrived to 2ee the battle.
"I'll be fine just stay back." 2he 2aiid.
"Miight want to pay attentiion." Ii 2aiid 2urprii2iing her.
Ii 2truck at her but iit wa2n't Feferii Ii hiit, Ii 2truck Menah who ju2t appeared out of nowhere. Ii had 2truck her deeply and 2everly, Feferii 2truck me wiith the chance briing back my 2en2e2 2o that Ii could at lea2t thiink about how Ii could help make iit ea2y for her to pull the 2hadow bea2t from my body. Ii 2tuck my tounge out of my mouth 2liightly and Feferii 2miiled 2eeiing iit, that'2 what Ii normally diid to make a 2iilly face for Feferii when 2he wa2 down.
"W)(en you feel its t)(e ritg)(t time." 2he 2miiled.
Duriing the fiight, Ii 2aw my chance to u2e my power2 to keep my body from moviing. Ii 2tuck my tounge out 2liightly agaiin and Feferii took the oppertuniity to 2triike, her triident went iinto me and 2he 2lowly pulled out the 2hadow bea2t. 2he threw iit iinto the aiir and Eriidan u2ed hii2 magiic to de2troy iit. Ii 2miiled weakly and fell down to my knee2 then on my 2iide, Ii wa2 bleediing but okay. Ii clo2ed my eye2 2eeiing Feferii run over to me, Ii don't know how long Ii wa2 a2leep but Ii had a dreamle22 dream. Ii fiinally woke up 2eeiing Feferii and KK 2iittiing be2iide my bed.
"Hey fuckass nice to see you are awake." KK 2aiid.
"How long wa2 Ii a2leep?" Ii a2ked.
"A week, t)(oug)( you still look so tired." Feferii 2aiid.
"That 2hadow bea2t really took alot out of me." Ii 2aiid. "KK, Ii'm 2orry Ii hurt you."
"Don't worry about it you lisping idiot." He 2aiid.
"Iit2 not really ea2y to not worry about iit." Ii 2aiid.
Ii 2iighed, my head hurt alot but at lea2t Ii wa2 free from the 2hadow bea2t. KK told me Nepeta wa2 okay and wanted to talk to me a2 2oon a2 Ii wa2 better or felt liike 2peakiing to anyone el2e. Ii looked up 2eeiing Nepeta and 2he 2tiill looked up2et.
"Sollux, though you killed my meowrail are you feeling any better?" 2he a2ked.
"Ii'm 2ore and 2o 2orry Nepeta, Ii diidn't want to hurt you or Equiiu2." Ii 2aiid faciing away from her.
2he 2tumbled over to the bed and pat my head.
"I know you didn't mean it Sollux. It looked like you had an impawsible time." 2he 2aiid lookiing 2ad. "Just...just becareful next time so it doesn't happen to mew or anyone again, purromise?"
Ii looked at her.
"I 2wear that a2 long a2 Ii liive, Ii'll make 2ure thii2 doe2n't happen agaiin." Ii 2aiid.
Nepeta hugged me carefully 2iince 2he wa2 2tiill hurt and Ii wa2 2tiill a biit weakened. Feferii 2miiled and then Nepeta hugged KK, the really amaziing thiing, he let her hug hiim ju2t to cheer her up. That ii2 really niice of hiim, even iif he triie2 to 2ay he's not niice.
