Author's Note: I wanna send a few shout-outs:
Eclipsewings: Ah don't worry. Hehe. You really think I'll let him die? He's my fave OC :3! Didn't you notice the flow of events was a bit...off?
Flowerchild4life: LOL. Glad you're happy about the shout-outs! You're one of my best friends, how could I NOT send a shout-out? BTW, I LOVE YOUR NEW STORY GIRL! Hurry and write it ;D!
That's all for the shout-outs! OH my, updating so soon after I posted chapter 4! I didn't wanna keep you all hanging! What a horrible cliffie! This chapter will explain a few things by the way. It's hopefully a little less intense.
~~Cosmo's POV~~
'Ah the world. What a cruel place. Lance comes home to Demetrius dying. Such is cruel fate I suppose. I'm still confused...how did that even happen? And I haven't seen Kid or Patty in a few days. I find myself not being able to remember the simplest of things. Liz refuses to leave the area. It's all confusing. I'll ask her were Kid is later...'
As I was thinking that, Liz happened to walk in.
"Hey Cosmo." she greeted.
"Hey Liz. Do you happen to know where Kid is?" I asked.
"Yeah. He's dead." Liz told me blankly, as if she was completely unaffected. 'What? How...that doesn't make sense! I just saw him! The flow of events...doesn't make sense...
"What? H-How? Where's Patty then?" I asked, completely flustered.
"I don't know how. And Patty left." Liz said. 'Patty...left? What? She'd never! What the hell?'
All of a sudden I heard Demetrius' voice. "Cosmo! Wake the hell up! You know I'm not dead! You know I'm not..." he said, then the voice stopped. 'I must be nuts...I saw him die...and I need to wake up? I am awake...but I haven't been able to sleep lately. What is going on here?'
~~In the real world, Third Person~~
Cosmo was in a coma for unknown reasons. She kept mumbling things...that deeply disturbed the others. She hadn't woken for several days now. For some reason, she had collapsed after the issues with Liz. Right in front of Demetrius' tent. He had heard her fall and carried her inside. At the moment, she was on his sleeping bag. He had barely slept at all the past few days. Liz came in to the tent only to find him passed out in a chair.
"Oh Demetrius...I'm glad you're getting some sleep." she whispered. She looked at Cosmo worriedly. "Damn girl. Wake up so we can find your brother Lance. Your worrying Demetrius sick and making him wait to find his twin! He's gonna end up leaving without a trace, then both of them will be out of our reach! Hurry the hell up and snap out of it! He's not dead! He's right here, in this chair, fast asleep." she said into Cosmo's ear. No reaction. Or so it seemed...
~~With Cosmo, Cosmo's POV~~
Oh yes. I heard Liz's voice. Telling me to wake up...and find Lance. But Lance is in his tent right now. How am I worrying Demetrius? He's dead...Oh...I'm so confused! He's gonna leave before I 'wake up'? I don't want that to happen...how do I prevent it though? I want to wake up...I want to leave this horrible lying world were my worst fears come to life! I'll bet that Lance will disappear, then Liz will tell me JUSTIN killed him. Then Liz will disappear, then Justin will show up and slowly kill me. Sigh. Please god. Please let me wake up and leave this hell hole!
~~In the real world, Third Person~~
"DAMMIT!" someone yelled from a tent. Liz sighed. 'That must be Demetrius...' she thought to herself. She decided to go what was wrong now...
"Demetrius...is something wrong?" she asked almost hesitantly. She heard a muffled "Dammit all to hell' then saw Demetrius poke his head out the tent flap.
"Nah. I've got it under control." he assured her. Liz didn't believe him at all.
"Yeah right. I'm coming in there." she demanded. She unzipped the tent then marched in, shoving Demetrius out of the way. He made a face at her then went to sulk on his chair.
"You're not necessary Liz..." he whined.
"Shut it." she told him. He was silent.
"I'm going outside..." he mumbled, and trudged out the door. He briefly registered Kid calling out his name as he went into the woods, not really sure of his destination.
"Liz, did you ask Demetrius to go get firewood?" Kid asked, entering the tent. Liz turned to him questioningly.
"What? No, why?"
"Well, he just left the campsite and went into the woods..." Kid explained. Liz went rigid.
"Dammit. I knew it. I knew he would go insane with impatience and leave..." she muttered angrily. She preceded to grab Cosmo's shoulders and shake her violently. "Wake the hell up now! Your other brother just left! Now what are you going to do? Let both of them die?" she shouted.
~~With Cosmo, Cosmo's POV~~
Oh god Liz. Demetrius left? I need to wake up! Maybe...going to sleep in the dream will wake me up...
So that's what I decided to do. I rolled out my sleeping back and got ready for a long night. I closed my eyes and waited for exhaustion to take over...
~~Real World, Third Person~~
Liz heard a cough and she jolted awake. She immediately noticed Cosmo was not lying down anymore. She was sitting up and looking around. "Cosmo...?"
"Demetrius. Where's Demetrius? Tell me! I NEED TO KNOW WHERE MY BROTHER IS! Is he dead? Tell me Liz!" Cosmo said frantically.
"Calm down Cosmo! He's not dead...just...gone..." Liz attempted to explain.
"What? Gone? WHERE IS HE LIZ? I need him...I need to see him..." Cosmo cried feebly. Liz sighed.
"We'll find him. We'll find Lance...we'll find Justin...we'll find all of them. So let's pack up and leave this place." she said firmly. Cosmo nodded and began packing her things. Liz smiled at her then went to tell Kid and Patty they were leaving, like now.
'Dammit! I can't believe Demetrius left! Now...not only do I have no brother's, but no weapons at the same time! All I have to protect myself is my soul wavelength! I'll be useless...but I can't leave! It's my mission in the first place! Oh...what to do, what to do!' Cosmo thought to herself.
~~Time skip to the next day~~
Kid, Cosmo, Liz, and Patty were walking on a dusty well worn path. They ended up finding an old, run down village with a few basic accomodations.
"Where are we going to stay for the night?" Cosmo asked. Kid shrugged and began looking for a place to stay. Liz sighed then laughed.
"There's an inn right there..." she pointed out. Patty giggled.
"Oh...right...ha ha..." Cosmo laughed half-heartedly. Kid rolled his eyes. They entered the inn and got a room for four.
"So...when we going to eat?" Liz asked. Cosmo shrugged. "Are you even going to eat?" she asked. Cosmo shook her head. "Baka*. Eat!"
"No. Go with your aneue*. Leave me alone." Cosmo demanded. Liz shrugged and left. She went to the dining hall in the inn and began stuffing her face while Cosmo stayed in her room and sulked.
Kid silently slipped into her room.
"Cosmo. Come on and eat." he said.
"No. I don't want to..." she pouted.
"Come on. Starving yourself won't solve anything. In fact, it will hinder our mission. I suggest you keep your energy by eating something. If you don't go to the dining hall, I'll bring food in here for you and watch as you eat it."
"Aw come on Kid."
"I won't change my mind."
"Fine. I'll go to the damn dining hall and eat stupid food. You happy?" Cosmo said irratibly. Kid smiled and chuckled.
"Yes, I am." he answered matter-of-factly.
"Shut up." she retorted half-heartedly.
"Okay." Kid replied, and led Cosmo to the dining hall. After a somewhat small meal, they decided to pack in for the night. They all slept soundlessly and dreamlessly.
The next morning, Cosmo begrudgingly got out of bed. She laughed when she saw Liz's morning hair. "Hey Liz...you may want to go with a pony tail today." she suggested. Liz rolled her eyes.
"Yeah right. I will never wear a pony tail as long as I live." she declared.
"We'll see how long that lasts." Cosmo laughed. Liz glared at her for a moment before going to breakfast. Cosmo sighed. "I really don't want to eat breakfast..." Then she imagined what Kid would do. 'He'd probably resort to force feeding me, as long as I ate. That would actually be kind of funny! Like a cartoon. Kid force feeding me eggs...and making me drink milk! EW! Ugh, if eating eggs was gross, then drinking milk was utterly disgusting. How horrid!' Cosmo thought to herself. She barely contained her laughter as Kid walked into her room.
"Um...is there something wrong Cosmo?" he asked.
"N-no! Just going to breakfast!" she said, forcing back a giggle. He nodded, unsure if he should believe her. She took his arm in hers then proceded to drag him into the dining hall.
"Giraffes! Giraffes!" they heard someone shout in the dining hall. They looked at each other knowingly and laughed.
"Patty." Cosmo said.
"Patty." Kid confirmed. They burst into laughter again and found Liz and Patty devouring some eggs and toast.
"That had better be wheat toast." Cosmo said as threatiningly as she could. Liz looked up at her like she was nuts then started cracking up.
"Oh no...it's not wheat toast! It's white! Oh gosh Cosmo, I'm so scared of you! What are you going to do, wheat toast me to death?" Liz said mockingly, and Patty just giggled and started saying something about giraffes.
"Shut up Liz. Get some damned wheat toast next time. White toast is bad for your health." Cosmo scolded. She had to admit though, she was feeling a bit happier. Hell, if they found Demetrius, they'd find Lance, and if they found Lance, they'd find Justin. Then the mission would be complete! Or at least, she hoped so...
