This place was...different. It seemed to have a stronger negative aura compared to the others and it was black and white. 'Only Y/N and Aaron are left..' I sighed, hoping to release my family from this hell.
I danced my way through the pointy forest and around the many blocks that came flying my way. I wonder what those were? I tried catching one and to my surprise, it stopped. "H-how..?" I stuttered; afraid that I messed something up in this dimension. I squatted down in front of it to take a closer look anyways.
It was a memory.
A memory of a little boy with raven black hair sitting alone near a tree. The little boy seemed so sad.. Around him were clouds and little speech bubbles saying:
'You make them sad'
'They dont want you'
'She's happier around them'
and so, so many others. Poor boy. Then; I saw something, a little girl came running to look for him, a little girl and a tall boy. 'Those two must care for him' I thought and continued watching. The tall boy bent down to his level and the little girl went to tickle him.
They really loved him.
"He'll laugh in 3..2.." and the boy was already smiling, the little girl smiled and looked up at both of them like the tall one was a magician of some sort. She laughed and the memory ended there.
'Wait. These are Aaron's memories!' I thought and ran around, following the memory I just watched; maybe this'll lead me to him? It should..
After what seemed like hours of swimming through memories and memories.. I think I finally found him! Wait; why am I so happy about this? Oh well, I best do my job and hop out to finish this mayhem. "Aar..?" I whispered as I walked up to the curled up figure; he had no response. "Aar?" I pronounced more confidently, "Look at me please?"
An unexpected horror occurred, he threw a knife at me. "Leave me alone!" He growled deeply, I took a step back, clenching my arm to stop the bleeding. "Make me." I went on, I didnt care if I were to die. Honestly I wasnt. He stood up and looked at me, his chestnut coloured eyes looked perfectly souless and his appearance reassembled it too.
He chanted something under his breath and out of what seemed to be dust (Dust Comic! :3), a pitch black orb was formed. "Leave. Me. ALONE!!!" He burst my eardrums and launched the thunderstorm my way. Out of instinct, I grasped a memory which was near to me and used it as a sheild. The orb hit it and vanished, I took a look at the memory; nothing changed..so were the orbs harmless?
He started preparing another. only one way to find out! I ran to him and snatched the orb, feeling the power surge through me like a bolt of electricity as I felt Clem take over. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" He said, bouncing the orb like a basketball, "Nice to me you Aaron, Claire has told me alot about you." He smirked and turned the ball white. "And even though I hate Con and her, I wont let you destroy either of them; thats my job." He laughed and flung the ball back at Aaron.
"So what do you say? Basketball?" The boy in front of him shook his head and looked up, "Ill win for sure.." he muttered and Clem thought up a plan; me and Con read it and when the time was right. It all fell into place.
--five minutes later--
"You lose!!" Clem teased and Aaron sat down to sulk/cry. 'Go time!' I called out and I took over. "Aar?" He looked at me with a displeased look plastered all over his face. "Look at this.." I smiled, handing him a memory. It was a memory of when Sam wasnt feeling well and when we asked him questions continuously; he started laughing and smiling at our over-care.
I saw Aar start to tear up a bit.
I passed him another. This one was a recent one where we were playing truth or dare with little papers which we wrote on and he got something funny.
He started to smile and blinked a small tear away.
Lastly, I handed him a memory where I was hiding from him, Sam, and Barry. "Staring Competition!" He called out and I hid with my checkered jacket. Snuggling up in it while waiting for them to find me.
Aaron started crying his eyes out.
"Aaron please dont cry.." I rubbed his back; "Why?" I looked at him a bit puzzled, "YOU DONT REALLY CARE RIGHT? NONE OF YOU DO, IM ALL ALONE." He burst out; I kept a straight face and looked into his eyes. "We care about you Aar, especially Sam and me. We both love you so much, why cant you trust us?" I ended it in a question.
"I do-" "You dont, Im sorry but you dont.." I sighed and he looked at me accusingly, "Proof?" He challenged. "I told you I didnt like anyone but you didnt believe me. I tell you that I love you so much, even when times were and are tough I swore Id be there; I swore youd have a shoulder to cry on..but you dont believe me..?" I shakily winced at my arm and lifted his face with my index finger.
"Im sorry..I didnt know I made you fe-" "shush you stubborn boy. No matter how many times you hurt me Ill be there for you. Remember that time I was crying over the dance auditions? You were there.." I smiled, "I love you so dang much and we're family; I treat no one different and I will never. So there's no need to be jealous." I looked at him, his tears dried and he was grinning slightly.
I heard a 'poof!' sound and looked at the swirl.
Here we go again...
