Chapter Text
They first went off to Jimmy's house to drop off the horse. Now normally a horse is important to survival but this was Scars horse, and Pearl didn't want any more enemies especially with Grian.
“He's there… so is Martyn”
Tillys voice was one of worry but tactical. She was like this since they left the tower. Pearl understood, Tilly was jumpy after she became a human. Like she knew this wasn't meant to happen as well. Pearl stopped those thoughts however.
And they just saw Marytn…. And Pearl still had what Jimmy said fresh in her mind… this could be bad.
“Hey… it will all be okay Tilly. We will be fine, okay.” She tried to reassure her but they both gripped onto their respective ax. But they kept going, it was fine.
It was fine , it was fine
Pearl kept thinking that it had to be fine, but it wasn't fine. It would never be fine. Not on this server.
They kept walking till they got to the Ranch. Martyn and Jimmy were talking about… something Pearl didn't know and Tilly didn't seem to care or mind other then the occasional ear twitch.
“.... so yeah, Tilly is some weird human dog but not really. Ren didn't feel right around her.”
Oh… they were talking about Tilly afterall.
Before they could turn back because it was starting to get a bit more dangerous, JImmy and Martyn saw them.
“... Pearl what are you doing here? I told you to leave me and Tango alone.” Jimmy was suspicious of her, she could tell.
“Oh…. hey Jimmy… want a horse?” She was going to leave it at JImmys for a bit so she was less of a target.
And then all suspicion left JImmy as he ran to them and eyed Tilly but looked at the horse once more.
“Hmm… sure! No bad feelings Pearl.” her was taking hold of the
“Sure! Ill see you later then, and bye Martyn! Don't go around telling people about Tilly!”
Martyn just scoffed and walked away into the ranch, Jimmy following him with the horse to continue… whatever they were doing.
“.... lets go… I don't feel safe.”
Pearl smiled at her softly and lifted her over her shoulders so she was on her shoulders and walked off too... who knows where honestly.. Maybe to look around the server.

Jimmy watched them walk off. Worry in his mind.
“Something is wrong with Tilly.” He turned to Martyn, who just looked back.
“I mean… she's human, and Ren said something was wrong with her.”
Jimmy shook his head. He willed his wings to relax.
“No… it's not that… Something else, I dont know if its with my curse…. But something is wrong… she feels like death itself.”
Martyn stared at him, worry seemed to build up.
“Well… if so… we can talk to Grian about it.”
JImmy nodded, he was right, they could tell Grian… later.
“Yeah… back to what we were doing then.”

After a while of walking around the sun was hung high over the world. Then an arrow hit the tree next to them. Pearl spun around to see Scar, Tilly growled at him.
“Scar!? What are you doing!?”
Scar then just loaded another arrow and shot at her again.
“Scar! You can't kill me! You're not Red!” Pearl started to run with Tilly hiding into her hood.
“Give me back my horse!” “It's at Jimmys!” “Give it back! Give it back!”
Pearl then ran faster and faster, Scar slowly being lost. It went on for a few minutes till he was nowhere to be seen.
Pearl groaned, Tilly jumped off to check on her.
“Mom?... you okay?”
Pearl nodded but TIlly seemed to tell she wasn't. Then Pearl looked at where they were… it was the bridge between Scott and Cleos homes…. Then Pearl remembered Scott told her she was allowed to build on the bridge or something along those lines… she smiled.
Tilly looked at her like she was worried for her. She was scared for her?.... Odd.
“Hey… let's build a house… Scott told me I was allowed to.. A small wood house. Nothing too crazy but its good enough for use.. Kay? I’ll play some music for us.” Pearl held out a jukebox, placed it down, and put it in a disc. The music started to play, it was calm.
Tilly then took some blocks and nodded, then she and Pearl got to work. It was fun, a simple wood house, a simple build, to simple music. Tillys tail wagged to it. Pearl built with her, it was nice.
“Pearl! What are you doing?”
Pearl stopped, Tilly stopped and growled.
Scott
“Oh hey Scott!” She turned to look at him. “Hi… and Cleo. What brings you two here?”
Cleo watched her, she could tell she was thinking about something.
“Pearl, what are you doing… and whos that?” She pointed at Tilly who was still growling at them.
“... this is Tilly….”
Scott and Cleo just looked at her, then at Tilly, and back to her.
Oh no… this day couldn't get worse…. It just couldn't.
Tilly just stood there, Pearl thought she could see something in the back of her eyes, something black as void and death itself.
It just couldn't… right?
