I played through the last chapter god knows how long just so I could get all this right. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! I'll have the next one out in a giffy.

Ruvik was still carrying me back to his office and I still had myself wrapped around him. I never wanted to leave his side, I felt as if I did he would break. Maybe I would break too. Ruvik was an interesting being and I really began to care for him. My heart yearned for his touch, his kiss. I knew it was wrong since he killed people. He had his reasons, his revenge on the one who killed him. But he wasn't consumed by rage.

It smacked me in the face like a fucking brick.

Where really was I? Was I connected to STEM…? It would be impossible to see Ruvik if I weren't. Ruvik is supposed to be a brain connected to the real world.

Right…?

This was all just something that was in my head. Tightening my grip on Ruvik's neck I began to sob. I just didn't know what to do. What if I were pulled from this world?

Wouldn't it be better for me? Thinking to myself the tears ran down my face faster and the pain I felt in the pit of my chest was wretched.

Ruvik stopped walking as I began to cry like a weak little girl.

Looking down at me gently, he wiped the tears from my face with his fingers.

"What's wrong?" he asked quietly.

Sobbing even harder I replied looking up at him "You're not real are you Ruvik? I want you to be…I do…so much. I just don't understand anything that's going on. It's all his fault."

He tightened his grip on me and looked up at the ceiling like he was holding back something. He bit his lip really hard and it started to bleed. A droplet landed on my cheek.

"I believe they are experimenting on people with my brain connected to STEM. The men that were with Jimenez…they are part of the 'organization'. What you see is my world and I can control everything. Except people themselves that are connected. This is my hell." He explained with so much pain in his voice.

I pushed him away and put my feet on the floor.

"I can walk" I whispered to him head down. Letting my tears fall slowly down my face.

Why did this have to happen to me? Wouldn't anyone be looking for me and Sebastian? Joseph? We are police officers they would probably have the whole force looking for us.

I continued to walk next to Ruvik back to his office. I wasn't tired anymore, there was so much on my mind I couldn't even think about sleep.

I looked over to Ruvik's hand that was slightly brushing against mine. I locked my fingers with his and he gave my hand a light squeeze.

We held hands walking back to his office. I tried not to cry anymore, but it hurt so much that one day I might not ever see this man again. Not to feel his touch, or experience his kindness. I had no one in the real world and just thinking that I could be ripped from this at any given moment reminded me that I had nothing, but this.

When he closed the door behind us he locked it. Looking over to me he smiled slightly.

"I'm going to go see Jimenez, I need you to stay here…Anastasia." He whispered to me. The way he said my name with such sadness made me look up.

My eyes widened

"Don't you want me to go with you?" my heart raced

"I need to do this alone." He was standing in front of me now looking down on me.

"Bu-" I started to protest when his lips came crashing into mine. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. My face grew crimson as I yearned for him, I gasped behind the kiss and he growled pulling away.

He looked down at me breathing heavy and kissed me on the forehead.

"Goodbye..Anastasia." he said.

Before I could say anything he was gone.

I started to panic. What did he mean goodbye? Was he coming back?

"Ruvik?" I whispered.

No answer.

The silence was killing me.

"RUVIK!" yelling now I began to run out of the office door.

When the door opened I was blinded by light.

I was outside of the hospital in the courtyard where me and my brother used to sit and talk about life. It's almost like he was here with me.

Walking towards the doors I slowly opened them letting them creek open. It was quiet. The halls were abandoned, chairs flipped over on the ground, Beds that used to be owned by mental patients now dirty and untidy. Blood was smeared on the walls and had cracks decorating them.

My boots clinked on the tiled floor echoing off every wall. I wasn't being discreet at all. I didn't care. I just needed to find Ruvik.

~Time le skip~

After I reached about the third floor or so I heard two men speaking. Slowly turning the blood stained corner I saw Ruvik holding Sebastian by the throat.

Sebastian was struggling to get free, Ruvik looking up at him with a smirk on his face.

Sprinting towards them I saw Sebastian grab his lantern and he swung it at Ruvik hitting him in the face his cloak caught fire.

I watched in horror.

Ruvik's screams were mixed between his child voice and his own. He was thrashing trying to get his cloak off when finally it did I clasped my hand over my mouth. I never saw…his head. He had half his skin missing and what looked like glass replacing it. You could see his brain and all the stitches that held it in place.

"Ruvik…" I walked slowly over to him reaching my hand out to him.

Sebastian had no idea that I was even in the room, he turned around giving me a glare.

"Stay back Anastasia." He said growling at me.

I was taken aback by his sudden aggression towards me. It hurt.

Looking back at Ruvik and everything started to change.

I squinted my eyes open to see Sebastian still standing in front of me but everything was terrifying. The floor was covered in blood and spikes were sticking out from it taller than me and Sebastian. I looked up to see the sky a weird shade of tan and giant green eyes looking at both me and Sebastian. Walking beside Sebastian he looked down at me.

"Where the hell are we?" I asked terrified.

"A man told me not to look into Ruvik's eyes, but I did. I assume we are inside his head." He explained non enthusiastic.

"Where is Joseph and the others? Are they alright?" I half didn't want to know the answer.

"Joseph is dead, Jimenez is dead, I don't know what happened to Kidman. I think she has something to do with all this." He said quietly.

I held back the tears. Joseph…? Dead…? It couldn't be. This isn't real life, maybe he's still alive in the real world.

I walked over and hugged Sebastian, he stiffened at first but sighed and wrapped his arms around me tightly burrowing his face in my hair.

"This shit is fucked." He whispered.

Our reunion was cut short when moans were heard in the distance, Sebastian pulled away getting his weapon ready. I just stood there. I didn't need weapons.

After fighting through hoards of the undead and two of those damn box head guys we were in a room that had spotlights searching for us, a giant eye was at the end of the maze. Grabbing my wrist me and Sebastian dodged spiked traps, bear traps, and the spotlights. When we reached the end of the hall we were back in the STEM room. Leslie came running in and so did Kidman soon after.

Sebastian pointed his gun at her.

"Sebastian get away from him" she warned little emotion in her voice.

Sebastian just cocked his pistol and scoffed at her.

"Sebastian listen to me, Stop. Your interests are the same as ours." Who the hell was she talking about?

"Look, I get it you're not just some Rookie Detective and this is not just some ordinary kid. You killed Joseph and you shot me, So right at this moment that's enough reason for me not to trust you." Sebastian gripped tighter onto his gun. She killed Joseph?! I was enraged ready to kill her.

"You're a good man…That's why I- Ugh it doesn't matter anymore. If you know who this kid is, if you know anything. You know why he can't be allowed to live."

"Bullshit! It's Ruvik. He's the one that.." that piercing sound was coming back and me and Sebastian both started to cover our ears.

The STEM machine turned on and I looked up covering my ears. It turned into a giant brain and the ceiling disappeared transforming into a tan array of clouds that filled the sky with lightning.

I clenched my eyes shut until I heard Sebastian

"Leslie Stop." He grunted out

I opened my eyes to see Ruvik holding out his arms to Leslie.

My heart started to pound, what was he going to do…?

"Ruvik….No." I whispered to him. He ignored me. He was too consumed by rage…I could see it everywhere on him. Leslie walked over to him slowly. I looked at Ruvik's eyes, they were no longer the white beautiful orbs I came to love. They were filled with rage, and anger. There was nothing in them anymore besides evil. Leslie was just a few inches from Ruvik now. I ran towards Leslie trying to make this all stop but I was too late. Ruvik put his hands on Leslie's head and he dissolved like water..

I heard a pump like noise coming from my side and I looked over to see giant pumps pumping something into the giant brain.

A shrieking sound filled the silence and I stumbled from its effect. I ran over to Sebastian and the ground started to shake turning the surroundings back to the STEM machine. The brain was gone but everything was still rapidly shaking under our feet.

The floor started to tilt to the side, making me and Sebastian fall, we both tried to climb up to the machine for support but our efforts were futile.

I felt myself fall backwards and my back go through glass, hearing Sebastian yell bloody murder I looked over to see him falling through too. I felt a shard of glass go right through my side and I gasped in pain. Blood gurgling out of my mouth wincing in pain.

I was being flung around in the air like a rag doll falling to sure death. Hearing Sebastian scream on the way down I closed my eyes waiting for impact.

Seconds went by and when it did not come I flipped myself through the air so I was facing downwards, cars were flying past us along with broken buildings. Seeing the brain come into view me and Sebastian both braced for impact. Barbed wire flung at us, missing me but hitting him hard. The hard impact hit us both and we rolled down it helplessly. I felt my ribs break on the way along with many other bones. I felt myself falling off the brain but Sebastian grabbed my arm which made me cry in pain. It was broken I could feel it. Pulling me up he held me in his arms, Looking down at my broken figure his eyes softened. My breathing was becoming slower and slower. I think I was dying. I probably had so much internal bleeding…

Something came out from the brain, blood raining on us both. Looking up I just stared at the creature that emerged from it without emotions. It had multiple arms and Ruvik was inside it's brain.

Sebastian slowly got up standing in front of me not wavering. He was so stupid. How was he going to protect me against that thing…?

Suddenly Sebastian was smacked and flung from out of my view by the creature while I lay there and watch.

"R-Ruvik…Please…stop this." I whimpered between sobs.

The creature just looked at me with a tilt to its head. I pulled myself up from the ground into a hunched over position. Looking up at Ruvik I smiled tears running down my face. He stared at me and I thought I saw tears escape his eyes but I could be wrong. I was dying I could see anything I wanted to right now.

"R-Ruvik…I-I…I love..you…"

I whispered before everything went to black.
