"And it only got worse once he started using us as sacrifices." Elias added in, "It's why I contacted you—maybe you could manage to get us out of here or helps us getting rid of him."

Klaus only felt more shock. Their older brother going around and killed the staff and bring his—Klaus' almost life work—cartoons to life. Lizzy and Randy were only a few of the characters Klaus had created during his time as a cartoonist for this company.

Klaus had many characters, which had all become the main ones of the company. There was Luca, a traveling magician who was fourth most popular; Yukiya, a human-wolf(Werewolf, he thinks the term was) who was the third most popular character; Vincent, a paladin of Lizzy's father, Randolph; Joel, a male siren and Lizzy's childhood friend; Leon, a unicorn living among humans; Cerin, another paladin who works alongside Vincent; Guy, an exorcist-paladin that liked traveling with Luca; Glenn, a samurai; Azusa, a priest traveling with Luca to spread his thoughts of religion; Lizzy Heart—who was called "Liz" at times—an angelic singer and dancer, the second most popular character; and the main and most loved one, Randy—A.K.A: Serge Durandal.

Randy/Serge was exactly based off of someone Klaus had once loved. The man's name was Randy March, his friend since high school who had passed away due to an accidental explosion by their college roommate, Serge(who was another great friend of Klaus that had taken his own life because of what happened to Randy). The two of them were his best, and only what felt like real, friends. Of course, he had mourned Randy's death more then Serge's—he loved Randy with all his heart. He was the reason why he had created the version of his own Randy March, or Serge.

The other characters had been inspired by people he knew as well. Luca was more then obviously based off of Elias' boyfriend, Luciano. It had really pissed Elias off when Klaus had shown him the drawing, blushing wildly and complaining how it was stupid to base a cartoon on "someone that dumb"—of course, that's was when his younger brother had the most biggest crush on Luciano.

"Worse?"

"He always picked on Randy, since he was the star," Elias began, "He started using pentagrams and black magic. And now Randy's obsessed with finding you, his creator, and currently blaming all of us for making him go away every single day till the day he gained his magic..."

"Let me guess, he started murdering get everyone along side him as well?" Klaus took a wild guess, earning sad looks from Elias and Lizzy. He really hadn't expected to be right, in fact, it almost felt as if he were joking in order to light the extremely tense aura. Joking had really never been Klaus' strong point, hence why he needed so much help when coming up with the jokes for the cartoons. "Sorry, I wasn't trying to—"

"I-it's fine, Master Klaus." Lizzy gave a small smile, "It's just that Randy had never bothered with such thoughts at first. B-But after Lord Goldstein started doing something secretive with Mr. Yukiya, he's changed so much..."

"I think he took advantage of the fact that they saw him as one of their creators, one of their three masters." Elias said, crossing his arms softly and sighing heavily once again. With a closer look, it was obvious that he hasn't slept for days—weeks even—and the bags under his eyes were dark and heavy. Lizzy, despite being a cartoon, showed signs of exhaustion. There were small bags under her eyes, which meant that she was the one who slept the most out of everyone currently alive(most likely forced), small dots of ink dripped from her fingertips every ten minutes or so. Her ink stains were small, disappearing within the locks of her hair that almost brushed the floor.

"Speaking of which, you mentioned something about Randy wanting to find me?"

Both Elias and Lizzy nodded their heads, looking worried. Lizzy slightly bit her lip and she looked down to her feet, combing her fingers though her hair. Klaus knew that it was a sign saying she was nervous and/or scared. Elias only sank back into the couch, his expression sick and scared.

"A-about that, Master Klaus..." Lizzy muttered. "He..."

"Randy is...How should I say..." Elias spoke to himself almost, muttering different worse as Lizzy kept combing her hair with her fingers. There was fear in her eyes, her actions were done with nervousness, and she looked like she were about to cry once again. Although she was always happy and barely cried, it seem that shell has cracked. Lizzy looked like she could cry at any given moment.

"Randy's what?" Klaus narrowed his eyes that the two. The both of them could be lying. Elias could've paid extra for that Lizzy voice action to dress up as the female cartoon and act like her, he did say the voice actor did look like her.

"Slowly losing his humanity." A new voice said.

Lizzy turned her head towards the figure from the door and smiled, "Yukiya, Luca, and Mr. Luciano! You guys are alive! Thank goodness!"

The werewolf, Yukiya, and Elias' boyfriend, Luciano, were carrying a nearly dead looking Luca. Elias stood up and rushed over, followed by Klaus. They helped carry the magician to the wooden table. Ink pour from his back, dripping down to the floor. Elias groaned and put a hand to his face.

"That's going to be a pain to clean up..."

"Don't worry about that, Elias," Luciano wrapped an arm around his blond boyfriend and kissed his cheek. "We should focus on taking care of Luca."

Elias slightly blushed and nodded his head. He went over to the desk that was in the room, opening and closing a draw. He placed a pen and an ink bottle on the desk top, bring them over to Klaus and handing them to him. The older blonde looked confused for a moment. Why would Elias give him these?

Yukiya was comforting a worried Lizzy, speaking to her in a soft voice while calmly petting her hair. She was most likely worried about her father, best friend, and bodyguards who were nowhere.

Luciano and Elias turned the lifeless body of Luca over, showing a large gash bleeding heavily with ink. The two males looked up towards Klaus.

"Well?" Luciano asked with a confused look, "Aren't you going to fix him? You are his creator after all, Klaus."

Placing the ink bottle—which he first opened— and pen on the floor, Klaus took the towel Elias had used to wipe off the ink on his body. He pressed it to the wound and wiped away the ink, quickly grabbing the pen and dipping it in the ink bottle a second after. His hand was slightly shaky. It almost felt as if he were sewing up a human's back, but only with something permeant.

Placing his hand on both sides of where the cut ended, Klaus pinched them together and began creating heavy cross stitches down the magician's back, wiping away bleeding ink and re-dipping the pen countless times in the ink bottle.

Lizzy, finally more calm, went to grab another ink bottle(since the one Klaus had been using was nearly empty) from the desk. Opening it and grabbing whatever cloth she could find to help wipe away the ink bleeding from Luca's back. Yukiya kept watch at the door, his ear slightly pressed against the wood, listening for anyone—against Randy or not. Elias and Luciano helped Klaus with the wound. Luciano wiping away any small mistakes along with the bleeding ink and Elias keeping the cut nearly closed so Klaus could work faster.

Despite his shaky hand and the cold sweat running down his back, Klaus finally set the pen down. He had finished stitching the cut together.

"Is he alive?" Lizzy asked.

"He's lost a lot of ink while we were bring him him here from the basement. Most of his clothes had adsorbed it, which is why not that big of a trial had been left behind." Luciano answered. "But, I don't know if he'll come back or not."

Klaus bit his lip, listening to his heart beat wildly. It echoed in his ears and nervousness swelled up in his body. He could only hope and pray that Luca returned to his original state—a happy-go-lucky traveling magician with no really cares in the world.
