Sorry bout the late update guys im just awful DX
but thankfully ive got you guys a chapter!
Jake looked around the now dark and not so exciting place he and Dirk were in. His boyfriend lay on the ground, resting peacefully, as if peace were still a thing that existed. Jake sat next to him and accidently bit his tongue with those damn teeth of his. The metalic taste of blood was horrible. He got some random tissues and tried to stop the bleeding, but it didn't help much. In fact, it only made the god awful taste in his mouth worse. He threw the wads of tissue somewhere and sighed, waking Dirk.
"Something wrong?" he asked. Jake sighed again.
"I don't know Strider... We've barely started and we're already out of time... did we do something wrong?"
"Of course not. We haven't given up yet, all we need to do is avoid Jane. I warned Roxy to do the same so I'm sure she'll be okay." Jake cringed at Roxy's name and Dirk noticed. "You okay?"
"Y-yeah... uhm wh-what exactly... do you think happens to a person, the real person, when they turn into a trickster? Do they die... or are they there deep down somewhere...?"
Dirk frowned in thought. The idea never passed through his mind. All he knew is that they changed drasticaly and weren't even the same person anymore. What did happen to the real person? Finally, after coming up with an answer, he sat up. "Well English... whatever happens to them, we're gonna save them." Jake chuckled.
"You're so sure Strider."
"You know it." He hugged Jake tightly, the raven haired teen doing the same. "Hey Jake..."
"Yeah...?"
"Promise me... no matter what Jane says... you won't become a trickster..."
"I promise." Dirk smiled, but seeing more green hairs he wondered. How much time does he have left before I can't save him...?
That night... John fell ill...
