Chapter 9. Enjoy!

Dang, I feel bad for my own character, that's just sad.


His oceanic eyes stared down at the crimson liquid that now oozed out of the clawed cuts on his wrists. His eyesight went blurry once more. He turned his fear-filled eyes to the dark red hedgehog next to him.

"Sc-Scourion…" He whimpered. His ears pressed back against his skull at Scourion's lost expression.

Luke fumbled around the sheets for the 'help' button. His hand skimmed the side of it and he quickly hit it a few times, frantic and the snowy sheets dyed crimson.

He looked back to Scourion, but he hadn't moved. The edges of his vision were darkening and his chest felt as if it were on fire. He put his hand on his chest, his breathing was very quick.

His eyes were starting to close as he saw the nurse finally walking in the room. He saw her horrified expression before everything went silent and dark.

He opened his oceanic eyes to see the dark abyss stretching out around him. His eyes widened as he took in the scene of a dark hedgehog's body lying soul-less in a ball of SilverLightChaos while Eclipto clawed at the sphere. He was snarling about things Luke couldn't understand .

Suddenly he awoke to bright lights and doctors leaning over him. They were yelling at each other to grab random medical utensils. Luke's vision was blurring all over again, he could still feel the blood dripping from his wrists. The feeling of it drying into his fur and caking all over, dying his fur dark with the crimson liquid.

His chest felt as if his heart were trying to pound right out of it. He felt like he was on fire. Yet, he was numb to the real pain. Suddenly, odd symbols were appearing in his blurred vision. He couldn't understand what they meant. In his blurred vision he could see darkly glowing roses crawling and growing along the walls and floor. They started crawling up the sides of the table as time started to slow. Luke looked up quickly as he saw the figures of the doctors darken.

When he looked up, he saw the eyes of each doctor looking down at him. All the eyes were blood red. There was an ambitious gleam in every one of the eyes. The doctors suddenly turned into monstrous demons. Luke's eyes widened in panic and he looked down to see that the darkly glowing roses that had wrapped over him were dripping with blood. His blood.

He thrashed, screaming in agony as the thorns bit into his skin when the vines tightened around him. The demon's arms grabbed him and held him down as the vines constricted around him.

Pain was all he felt as the symbols from before burned into the fur on his arms and chest. He screamed in agony at the burning of his fur and flesh. He writhed in agony against the roses and thorny vines. He let out one last agonized scream before blood dripped into his mouth and choked him. His vision grew red.

"Lucian, the time of Judgement is near… You MUST decide!" A deep male voice yelled over the sound of blood rushing in Luke's ears.

I don't want to decide! I don't want to leave everyone! I… I don't want to die!

"It does not matter! The will of the Council has decreed it!" The voiced yelled once again.

Luke's senses were overwhelmed and he awoke.

He slowly opened his oceanic eyes. His vision was slowly returning to normal, he could see movement next to him and he could feel a sudden warmth on his forehead.

Once his vision finally focused, he could see Scourion sitting in a chair by the door. He looked up to find out whose hand had felt his forehead to see all of his other friends looking down at him. He turned his head a little more to see his parents, Zack and Nazo, standing with them. Zack's hand had been the one on his forehead.

His 'mother' smiled slightly when he saw Luke's eyes widen.

The door opened as one of the doctors walked in with the test results they took before.

"I have grave news…"
