Chapter 8: Raw
Their eyes meet, she searched that too. "Mark, what have you put yourself into?".
The next day, Totis woke up by himself. The light was dashing through the windows destroying every shadow in the room. His eyes needed some seconds to get used to this blinding light. He looked around and spot a piece of paper on the furniture next to him. His eyes move from the one word to the other with his heart beating faster and his mind full of pictures of the sturdy and lovely handwriting. "Sorry Totis but I left very early today to record some videos at my office. If you need anything call, despite Amy will be there" Totis read out loud. He got off the bed and quickly changed clothes. When he leaned on the bed to take his T-shirt, in order to put it back in his luggage, he saw a hallow on the bed's coat. Mark indeed slept there. Then, the boy walked around the house hoping to see Amy somewhere.
He couldn't find her anywhere. Just when he walked inside the kitchen, his vision blurred, he felt dizzy and weak. An image started taking shape in frond of him. Was it a vision? He saw Amy waking up after an uncomfortable sleep. A message appeared on her mobile phone, she raised her arm, took the phone and read the message. Her eyes full of fear moved from the screen to the empty room, to the exact same place where Totis was standing then. She jumped off from the couch and ran to the door. Amy picked her jacket and left the house quickly. Why?
Totis opened his eyes, he was still in the kitchen, except he was laying on the floor, he was unconscious. The boy stood on his legs again and before thinking it twice he opened the door and ran across the garden. His eyes were scanning the area but he couldn't spot Amy around. "She can't know" he whispers as walks across the road. His blue eyes sparkled after he saw some boys about his age, talking at the corner. Totis walked towards them and said "Hello guys-" but before he even completes his sentence, the tallest boy said:
"Hi there, Totis, what's up? Did you got bored at your majestic villa living with Markiplier?" he did a step closer, he must have been the leader "Do you think you are better than us now? Hm? Do you think you deserve more than anyone else?". Totis opened his mouth to speak but the boy interrupts him again saying "Markiplier doesn't even like you, he won't never like you!". At that point Totis lost all of his patience. His fist smashed on the boy's jaw before he could even realize it. The stranger fell on the ground and his friends rushed at Totis, punching him everywhere until he bended on his knees. His nose was bleeding, his right eye was closed, he couldn't feel his arms. Their leader stood up and looked at Totis with a derogatory look. He kicked Totis in the face and the young boy fell behind, bleeding and gasping.
"Stop!" someone screamed and ran to Totis. The gang ran away before the woman reached the fallen body. Her familiar face bend in frond of Totis head. The last thing he saw before everything turned black was her blond hair.
