Chapter Text
They arrived at the cave, not knowing what to expect. They have heard that there have been a spirit living here for a long time now so they we’re going to help them pass. After all, who knows what would happen if they just leave the spirit all alone? It could possibly go mad!
“Arthur, I'm telling you, there's nothing to be afraid of!” Vivi exclaimed as she hopped out of the van. “, Besides, if anything happens Lewis and I will protect you!”
“Vivi’s right, you know. We won't let anything bad happen.” He told Arthur, who was currently clinging onto him as they stopped next to a sign with skulls on it, two paths ahead of them. One leading upwards and the other going straight ahead. He brought his torch up a bit more, allowing the others to see a bit better.
Arthur sighed, knowing that his friends were right. If this was too dangerous, they wouldn't have comes here in the first place. Though, it wasn't just that Arthur was afraid of the cave, he just had a weird feeling from it like as if something bad was going to happen. Of course, being the scared and nervous person he is, he decided not to say anything and just told them “Alright, I trust you. .” It wasn’t something he normally would say when dealing with situations like these, but they didn't question it luckily. Lewis chose the path that went upwards while Vivi chose the one that went straight ahead, meaning that he would have to go up there with Lewis. He climbed onto Lewis like as if his life depended on it. He was afraid of what might happen. Lewis suddenly stopped walking, staring a bit downwards as Arthur let go of him in confusion. “What? Is something w-wrong?” He asked, taking a few steps back just in case if Lewis found something. Though, all Lewis did was shake his head and went towards the edge of the cliff as Arthur just watched him silently.
“It's not really that far down now that I think of it. Oh hey, I can see Viv! I wonder if she can see me from there?” He wondered out loud, not expecting an answer from Arthur as he leaned a bit forward to see everything.
Arthur tensed up a little, not knowing what was going on. He couldn't feel his left arm? Why couldn't he feel his left arm? Suddenly, he heard a voice in his head, asking him “Why do you even bother staying with them.” He tells the voice “Because they’re my friends.” The voice spoke again.
“They don't need you once they realize how useless you are. You’re just a tool for them to use so why don't you just push him? If you push him, she’ll see how useful you are. She won't ever abandon you like her.”
He doesn't talk back, allowing the voice to keep on telling him things. He doesn't realize that his left hand is reaching out for Lewis, like as if he was about to grab him ,but the voice in his head planned something else. Suddenly, he pushed Lewis. He pushed Lewis. Why? Why did he push Lewis? He started to cry, unaware of the figure behind him. Though, the voice had spoken again, telling him that he won't be so useless anymore. The voice had forced him to turn around, planning on to walk out of the cave since he was finally free ,but the dog was there. It had suddenly turned into its true form and bit off Arthur’s left hand. He started to yell in pain. I mean, who wouldn't scream when there arm just got torn off by a dog that really isn't a dog? Suddenly, he heard Vivi shouting in panic. She was talking to someone on the phone ,but who? Oh wait, it's obviously the ambulance she's calling for. After that, he heard her run up the path Lewis and him were at ,but he could not hear what she said since he had finally passed out from blood loss.
