The world felt so far away, as if you're peering through a window watching everything happen from a distance. Like it was happening to somebody else.

Your body ached, it burned, you could feel the blood dampening your clothes and sticking to your skin. You weren't dead, but you are dying. And that was an awful feeling.

This was really it wasn't it? Goldie had been here with you not that long ago, and promised he'd get you out of here. But, shadow had other plans. This was an elaborate trap. (And you the perfect bait.)

Your breathing felt slow. It was hard to take a breath with the way your lungs wheezed in your chest. (Or so it felt like.)

Shadow was back, his presence a sickening reminder that you were trapped, you didn't know where he had gone. He briefly mentioned something about leaving for a moment. But your mind was too jumbled to properly understand what he had said at the time.

"Well dove," shadow loomed over you with a smile, "it seems our game of cat and mouse is about to begin."

You slowly lifted your eyes up, you wanted to scream. Beg him not to go out there, your friends were out there. Goldie, was out there.

"No-" your voice was hoarse, just as it had been not that long ago. You couldn't talk, not after all the screams of pain. But still the defiant no found it's way to your lips. Shadow just smiled at you, amused with the fire that still burned deep inside of you. (The desire to save them.)

"It's inevitable now dove, so just play the game with me and we'll finish this little show together." Shadow hummed leaning down, and you knew there was no way to argue with him. He was getting exactly what he wanted. (Though what precisely you weren't sure. But there was a him involved and you knew he can't come back.)
"Now just sit and wait. Your friends will come fetch you in a moment."

Shadow seemingly disappeared. The last thing you could see were his eyes, gleaming in the darkness. Then he was gone. You had to warn them. You had to find some way to warn them. But you didn't have enough energy to cry out to goldie. You barely had enough to crawl towards the door. But you had to. For them.

You whimpered, pushing your body forward, slowly crawling along the floor. Making your way to the door digging your nails into the wood for extra momentum.

Tears blurred your vision as you moved. Your body hurt so much. It hurts to breath. You bared your teeth to the pain, grinding them against one another with each pull forward.  You had to get to Goldie. You had to warn them all.

Suddenly the room felt different. As if someone else was inside with you making you no longer alone. You winced expecting it to be shadow. After all who else could have a presence like that, but then...

"Oh (Y/N)." Goldie's voice echoed in the silence. Soft and remorseful. You gasped, pain shooting down your spine as you tried to turn and see him.

Goldie was at your side in an instant scooping you up into his arms and holding you close. Softly shushing you as words tried to reach your lips. There he was just like he promised. But he looked so sad.

"I-" Goldie's voice wavered as his white eyes stared down at your mangled body, "I'm so sorry."

Goldie hung his head low, closing his eyes. You felt too weak to move, only watching as he clenched them shut allowing a few stay tears to fall and run down his face. Still you hate seeing him like this. Hate seeing him suffer.

"G-goldie-" you rasped. Trying so hard to reach for his face. Moments like this where he allowed himself to be weak in front of you were rare. And yet you hated seeing him like this. He was tearing himself apart with guilt. He shook his head at your soft voice trying to talk to him. Taking your hand but not allowing you to make it to his face. (He knew just how weak you were.)
