Red was tired, really tired. He didn't want to get out of bed. But the screaming woke him up. "OH MY GOD RED! WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?! RED!" The voice screamed. Red lazily opened one of his eyes to come face to face with Gold.
Bolting up, Red jumped out of bed and stared at Gold. "Where the hell where you?!" Red hissed. Gold just sighed. "I got hurt. I got kidnapped. That's 'bout it. Why do you care so much?!" Gold hissed before grabbing Red's arm. "Why the fuck did you do this?!" Red just stared at Gold, he felt like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. No words came out of his mouth. "Red... Why the fuck did you do this?" Gold asked again, in a softer tone. Red just shrugged his shoulders as he felt the tears sting his eyes. "You didn't have to Red... I'll always be there for you..."
"And where the hell were you?" Silver asked as he glared at Gold. "I was fucking kidnapped!" Gold shouted as he turned away. He was sick of the questions, Red was off to the side staring out the window. "You're a fucking idiot! Why didn't you contact one of us?! We thought you were dead!" Silver yelled back. "Guys... I think you should be more quiet. We don't want to get kicked out." Blue said softly. The two boys glared at each other before becoming quiet. "You have to tell us what happened." Ruby said. "Yea! If ya tell us what the heck happened then we can figure out what to do to prevent it from happenin' again!" Sapphire exclaimed.
Gold had spent a few minutes explaining what he could remember, he had said that he didn't see his attacker at all and really didn't remember much except for pain. What Gold told the others just made more questions than answers. "So why did that person take you?" Emerald asked. "It must have been part of a bigger plan. Maybe the person knew that Gold and Red had been talking. Think about it, they were chatting on Tumblr before switching to email." Pearl pointed out. "I already told you I don't know why I was taken or for what purpose." Gold said with a sigh. Nothing seemed to be making any sense. "If you're hurt then maybe you should go to the hospital." Platinum said. "Hey! That's right! Go to the hospital Gold and get yourself checked out! Maybe the attacker left some clues!" Crystal said. Gold's eyes narrowed quickly. "No. I can't." Gold whispered. "Huh? What do you mean?" Blue asked confused. "B-because! T-they said that they'd hurt me if I we-went to get checked out!" Gold exclaimed with a frightened expression on his face.
Red had hurried and logged onto Tumblr. There was a question in his ask box as expected.
DontFixMeImNotBroken asked you:
Hey Red. I see that the brat escaped from me. Hmm... What can I do now? How can I torture you now. Oh I know. I'll get rid of Green. Sending him away and making him hate you was so much fun. Now let's finish the task.
Red just stared at the message, his jaw clenched. This was starting to get really annoying. He quickly went out of his ask box and went to check out what everyone was up to. Just as he was about to log out he saw that he had another message in his ask box.
StrongMindWeakHeart asked you:
Hey Red. I just wanted to say that I was sorry. I kind of overacted. I'm going to come over and visit you soon. I promise. Maybe then we can clear everything up. This is Green btw.
Red didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was just great. He didn't need another thing to appear but then something else did appear. Once again the chat opened up.
FallingInTheBlack: Hey Red!
TearsOfAnAngel: Hey Yellow.
FallingInTheBlack: Hey.
I need to tell you something.
TearsOfAnAngel: What is it?
FallingInTheBlack: Go here.

Red was curious yet scared of the url. He wasn't sure what to expect at all but when he finally worked up the courage to click it he was shocked by what he saw. The main page showed bios and pictures of people close to him. Each had a status and location next to their names. Surprisingly for Gold it had said:
Status: First Strike
Location: Lavender Town
Red just stared at it. He faintly remembered that Gold had announced earlier that he had to go to Lavender Town with his mother. How did this person know this? Red looked at the whole site and was disgusted by it. The person seemed to be keeping tabs on each and every one of his friends. There was one thing that interested Red. The fact that the website had added some aliases that he hadn't heard his friends use before. He wrote down the aliases and decided to check them out in the morning. Red shut down his computer and crawled into bed. Hopefully he would figure it out soon.
