    Sullivain's sleep wasn't peaceful or long, because soon he was awakened by two noises. The sound of Cedric singing loudly, and the sound of sirens.

    Sullivain's heart hammered. Those... those are the Infected sirens...

    He jumped out of bed, still dressed in that ridiculous outfit he had been forced to wear to give his speech. He frantically threw on a long sleeved black shirt and cargo pants. He kept the cape-thing, it had kinda grown on him. Besides, who knows, maybe those stupid scientists had made it reinforced or something. He threw the other ridiculous outfit parts in his backpack, and raced out the door.

    Sullivain's hopes of this just being a drill were crushed when he saw the hall. It was empty now, and he knew exactly why.

    He could smell them before he saw them, the stench of something rotten mixed with grass. And then they rounded the corner. There were two of them, one tall and lanky and the other short and plump. They looked human enough, in their form. That was until you took a closer look. Their limbs were square-ish and gray, covered in moss, dirt, and in the tall one's case, little flowers. Their torsos were bare, exposing their stomach, which was the only human-colored part of them left. Their chest was solid rock, studded too with moss, except the short one also had twigs sticking out where their heart would normally be. And their faces were covered by their hair, which had been transformed into some kind of earth plant. The tall one's luscious green locks covered every detail of their face and stretched down to the ground, while the plump one's vines stopped at their shoulders.

    Earthborn... Sullivain thought with terror. He wanted to run, but knew it would be in vain. The Earthborn had noticed him by now, and they communicated by making clicking sounds, like dolphins, if dolphins could kill you.

    Sullivain knew he was dead. No one could take down an Earthborn. His mother couldn't, Cedric couldn't. His best bet was to run. But he couldn't. He was frozen in terror. Cedric was floating next to him, his face frozen in horror.

    How... how did they find us... and how did they get in? This place was supposed to be intangible to them-

    Cedric was interrupted by the sound of shrill cries from the Earthborn, and the thunderous sound of them charging at Sullivain.

    Crap.

    Angel's sleep was light. Nothing was right. I mean, he ended up being correct about that. He jolted awake at the sounding of the alarms. That dreaded sound that nobody wanted to hear... ever. Especially not him. He got up and, still wearing his pajamas and missing the mask he held dearly, peeked his head outside, where Sullivain was staring straight at a duo of those horrible beasts known as earthborn. 

    What was he doing?! He thought with worry and rage as he saw Sullivain just standing there. Angel ducked back into his room, frantically looking around and figuring out something to do. I can't use my funky powers yet! I don't even know how they work! He thought before he grabbed the biggest book he could find in his room. 

    He ran back out as the earthborn charged towards Sullivain. As barely more than his instincts took control, he started to run over to him. Angel raised the book up, suddenly bolting past Sullivain and slamming the tall earthborn's head as hard as he could. The creature got knocked over for a second before stumbling back to their feet, and falling again. The shorter one did a double take, obviously distracted by the distress of its ally. 

    at that moment, Angel's reason came back as he backed up a bit. What was he doing?! This is so dumb! Now we're both gonna die! He thought as he held the book, adrenaline running through his veins as he held the book, ready for whatever came at him.

    He looked at the scientist, and then sat down on the stage. He closed his eyes, and let his troubles melt away.

    He thought back, back to life before the Earthborn came, before Gaia, before everything

    He smelled ramen

    His mother had made ramen

    Cedric was eating the ramen

    Cedric was alive

    Cedric struggled at geometry

    Sullivain was still in school

    He could go home and watch cartoons and eat pizza like nothing else mattered

    Because nothing did matter back then

    Slowly, he felt a wave of calmness wash over him. When he opened his eyes, the bright lights were back, shining on Sullivain sitting criss cross applesauce on a stage, with Jayden holding a ball of flaming light dangerously close to the scientist's face, who was laughing nervously.

    As the lights came back on, Angel curled tighter into a ball backstage, attempting to cover his eyes as well now that the lights were back on

    He felt horrible

    Please let him leave

    The lights were too loud

  3. As these few people discussed their abilities and powers, Angel sat in as much of a corner as he could put himself in and pulled his beanie over his ears.

    Was him being here really necessary?

    He didn't like it here

    It was loud

    and nothing was comfortable

    Angel simply wanted to go back to his room...

    A guard turned to Cedar and Otto. "Stop crying. He was a criminal. He murdered people with the help of a god. His death was just and deserved."

    Otto looked at the guard in disbelief. Even if he did kill people, he still deserved a fair trial, and a chance to explain himself. Instead, Kamado just killed him. And I stood by and watched.

    "Shut the HELL up" Cedar snapped back, his face still red from the tears. "You don't know who he was at all! nobody did! not even.. me.." He trailed off and fell silent again, staring at the floor.

    Otto didn't even fight when he was led to a lifeboat and told to sit down. The water on the top level was up to his ankles, so anyone on the lower levels was definitely dead. Otto wanted to cry. He wanted to throw up. He wanted to scream. He wanted to punch everyone, but mainly Kamado. But instead, he just sat there in silence, staring out at the endless horizon, thoughts empty.

    Cedar sat next to him, his head full and tears streaming from his eyes. He wanted to help, all he wanted was to help... And this is how it ended, huh?.. Nobody was happy, nobody was helped here.

    Otto looked at Kamado, and then to Iris's lifeless body floating in the water. His eyes were filled with horror.

    Did he... oh gods, I think I'm gonna be sick- He didn't say he was gonna kill him...

    Kamado wiped his hands against his cloak. "Well, now that the vermin's been taken care of," he turned around dramatically. "Time to deal with my grandson. Otto, Cedar, you are dismissed." Kamado turned to a few guards on the stairs. "Take them to the lifeboats." And with that, Kamado marched up the stairs. Otto gulped nervously. He took one final look at Iris's body, and followed the horde of guards moving towards the lifeboats.

    Cedar didn't look up as tears streamed down his face and he was dragged to the lifeboats along with Otto. He didn't say a word and his breathing was heavy and slow. He sat silently in the lifeboat and stared at the ground as they floated off into the water. Was it worth it?.. Of course it was... wasn't it? ARGH why did he have to ask so many questions?! He thought as he stared silently, his expression barely changing as he went through waves of emotion.

  7. Cedar stood on the sinking ship, gazing down at the drowned Iris... did he?.. was this?... this was his own fault, wasn't it?... NO! Iris was a liar and a horrible person... as thoughts rushed through his mind, Cedar gazed at the rising water as it clung to his clothing. With all of these factors, Cedar fell to his knees, the water beneath him splashing up and sloshing around him. Cedar began to cry. he had no idea why he was crying, but it felt.. right.
