Warning: This chapter is very short and is written in a format different from any other chapter so far. This chapter also features retarded scene dividers in the form of Psychonauts Thanksgiving dishes in honor of the holiday and my having drank too much sprite too late in the evening.

Chapter 8

For a moment, he saw only the most beautiful agony…the most captivating, deceptive, utterly breathtaking shade of midnight blue to ever be painted onto the canvas of the world; then, like the big finale of a New Year's Eve firework show, stars burst to life amidst the coy blue.

He needed to strangle the life out of him with his bare hands.

He needed to take him in his arms and make him feel alive.

Maloof's heart skipped a beat. His breath caught in his chest. His knees felt weak. An insane duo of terror and adoration coursed through his body in equal measures as he stared point blank into eyes of ruby red.

He needed to run away from him.

He needed to run toward him.

His body felt like lead. The cold gripped his body, yet he felt as though he were on fire. His chest ached. He felt light-headed and his vision was slipping in and out of focus. The thoughts of every person within a mile of him were being screamed into his ears; but still, he kept running; for over all of the thoughts of people around him flooding Raz's senses, Benny's thoughts were the loudest.

"Please…please…please let us get there in time…"

He was shaking all over; so much so that he was struggling to run without falling. He felt as though he would be physically sick. Desperation wracked his body. He was numb with cold, yet burning with heat. He knew Raz was in danger, but he knew that Raz knew that neither of them would be stopping until the end; no matter what that end would be.

A moment's hesitation.

A mutual, unspoken, desperate need.

Then; nothing.

Cold steel walls.

Betrayal and Hatred.

An intense drive to live.

An intense drive to die.

An intense drive to end things once and for all.

A mutual, unspoken, unparalleled passion.

A blink of an eye.

A gunshot.

A scream.

A spatter of crimson.

A dull thud.
