AN: Hey It's me again with a brand new, fresh off the press chapter! Just for a quick reminder I forbid flamers here. Well… enjoy this next chapter.
Ch. 2, 5's POV:
Its so dark… I can't see a thing. Did I lose another eye? Suddenly a bright red light flashed into his eye. Looking up he gasped: It was the Cat Beast. 5 trembled until it turned into violent shakes. The Beast lunged; it's fangs dripping saliva and blood from the last fleshy human it had preyed on. 5 scrambled to his feet and tried to run, but the atrocious creature scooped him up in his paws; impaling 5 in the knee with one of his claws. It snickered as it watched 5 clutch his now torn knee and yelp in pain. The bony feline snarled when the sounds of pain ceased and then put 5 in his jaws; shaking it's head until 5 nearly hurled. After that horrible event it spat him out against a wall. While 5 was recovering from the assault, the CSB(cat skull beast) coiled it's tail around him until he could barely breathe. Even though it heard and saw 5 gasp and struggle for air, it didn't care. The only thing it cared about was what it's programming told him to do: kill the stitch punks.
Normal POV:
Back in the sanctuary, everyone was plotting. Everyone except 1.
"You people are just wasting your time!", he would say, " 5 is probably dead by now!" 9 and 7 would cringe in annoyance every time 1 said such things as these. They were both tired of the crabby old elder's ridicules and remarks, so they decided to make a stand.
"1's just afraid of what's out there," 9 challenged aloud. He and 7 both tried not to laugh as they watched 1 stiffen and turn around.
"What did you just say?", 1 growled. 7 silently giggled to herself, her fingertips on her lips.
"Oh," 7 answered,"9 was just saying that your too afraid to risk your life for others- you wouldn't even risk your life for yourself." 1 narrowed his optics and stamped his staff on the old wooden ground making it's sound echo throughout the sanctuary. Everyone turned and looked at 1.
"Now you two listen here," he snapped," I'm not afraid of risking my life for others, I just think: why do it? After all it's that person who's going to die, not me!"
"But think", 9 shot back; his humor transforming into anger," We would've-we already have- saved you in life threatening situations!"
"Think about 5 for example!", 7 countered; her humor deteriorating just as 9's had.
" 5 was blind and let himself get whisked away by that terrible creature!", 1 yelled.
" 5 saved my life! He would've done the same for you.", 9 rebelled, " 5's not the one who is blind around here…no, the blind one around here is you!" 7 spoke,
" He's right. You are blind in a way that is twisted and wrong. You are blind because what the right thing to do is in front of you and you don't even see it" 1 just scowled and turned around to leave. But just before he started walking he bitterly whispered,
" Fine. Do what you want. I wont feel bad if you all die." He left.
