My part for a fic trade with Silverwindghost. I'm really not sure how to describe it actually. The challenge was to do a horror fic involving Chiro and Antauri.
Failure
Drops of red slid off polished metal. The whites of two blue orbs were faded, and it was all his fault.
It had finally happened. Chiro had allowed Skeleton King to talk him out of his senses. He had given into evil, and a twisted dream of having power.
"Welcome to my side Chiro."
No. He wasn't on Mandarin's side. There was no way it had happened. Even so, he knew it had. Some of the red had coated his glove, which was still glowing green from the energy he had used in assault of his former friend.
"So, what will you do now? You could go back, but by now you have probably been shooed out of my brother's minds."
"Shut up."
"You're nothing but a failure to them."
"Shut up."
"Why, I can see their tears glistening the floor of the robot. 'What happened to our little Chiro? Where did we go-'"
Chiro turned, his body shining green as he growled in anger.
"Now now Chiro, killing one friend is enough for one day, don't you think? But now, I'm your only friend."
He gritted his teeth, but couldn't find a reply. It became too much for him and he screamed.
"Chiro?"
He sat up and continued screaming. He stopped when he realized he was in his own room. Mandarin was nowhere, and Chiro was in bed. He looked around and saw the Silver monkey with a great amount of concern to the tears falling down Chiro's face.
Chiro let them fall as he brought his friend in for a hug, crying his head off. Antauri blinked, puzzled, and then pat the boy's back. "It's okay Chiro, I'm here. I'm here."
