TW: murder, mentions of blood, yelling, death,

Also spoilers if you haven't seen Outsiders SMP. And if you haven't... please watch it. It's been out for two years now.

Outsiders Owen, you know the drill.

-No POV-

Owen chuckled, dragging Apo's bloody corpse through the winding corridors. 

Finally, this disease is eradicated from this hellhole. Owen thought, quickly rinsing his hands off in a nearby pond.

Owen made his way back after disposing of his ex-best friend's body, scoffing at how easy it was.

I won't let you get away with this, Owen.

Owen jumped. "Who's there?!" He whipped around, eyes darting around the corridor.

Oh~ I'm in your head now... There's no getting rid of me now Owen...

Owen's eyes widened, breath quickening. "A- Apo...?"

Just then, Owen's head started pounding. Panicking, Owen quickly sprinted out of the last corridor, making it to the clearing before being brought to the ground.

"Owen?! You okay?!" Kyle grabbed his arm, light concern flashed in his eyes.

"Y-yeah... Just th-thought I say something..." Owen was not fine. His pupils were dilated, panic and disgust clear in his eyes.

Owen grunted as he got to his feet, running into his house and curling up in a ball, shaking.

"W-what is... Happeni-" Owen stopped, seeing claws on the end of his fingers. "What?!"

Owen scowled at how easily he was scared, his trembling hand confirming it.

Suddenly, the pain in Owen's head grew much stronger... Like something was growing out of Owen's head.

Owen grabbed at his hair and brought his knees closer, flinching when he was poked by a horn on his head.

"Owen?! Are you in there?" Graecie's worried voice could be heard, only making Owen more scared.

Aww~ you scared~? I guess you know how I felt...

"Y-yeah! I'm fine!" Owen lied, hoping they wouldn't check.

"You sure?" It was Magic, she had peeked her head through the door. "OWEN?! What happened to you?!" Her eyes widened as she saw Owen.

I grabbed the nearest thing and threw it at her, "GET OUT!" 

It was only a few carrots, but it was enough to make her and Graecie leave.

Owen boarded up the door and slumped into the corner, shaking slightly.

"H-how... How d-did this happen?" Owen asked himself shakily. 

It's your own fault, Owen. You must live with the consequences.

"What-" Owen stopped. Hearing another knock on the door. "I told you to leave me alone!!"

"Owen, it's Krow," Owen's breathing grew heavy, quietly seething from Krow's voice.

"What do you want?" He asked as he crawled over to the door.

"Look, I doubt I can help, but let me talk to you about this," Its voice was weirdly calming, which made Owen's gut churn in disgust at how vulnerable he was.

Despite that, Owen took of one of the boards and slightly opened the door. Krow's eyes widened slightly at the bright orange horns on Owen's head.

"May I come in? I might be able to calm you down..." Krow said uncharacteristically, glancing at Owen's tail, which was whipped from side to side frantically.

"I am calm! Why wouldn't I be?!" Owen tried to slam the door, only for Krow to stop him.

It stared at Owen, unamused. "Really?  Your tail says otherwise," Owen glared at Krow, annoyed at how easy it was to see his fear now.

"Fine, just come in," Owen reluctantly opened the door, just enough for Krow to squeeze through. "Now, how do I fix this?"

"Well, you need to tell me what happened," Owen's eyes flashed with panic, but they quickly glazed over with an unreadable expression.

"Well... I went in the Maze. Just one last time, I was hoping to find Apo. But... They weren't there, so I started to come back," Owen pretended to be sad, putting in as much sincerity as possible. "All of a sudden, my head started pounding, I couldn't see straight."

Krow hummed, "Well... Does anyone have a grudge against you? Like... they would want you to suffer?"

"What? Uhm- I don't think so?" Owen lied. He didn't want to tell it about the voice, Apo's voice.

You're just gonna lie? Again!?

Owen's head started to feel fuzzy. He couldn't think straight.

It was just like before.

"Owen? Owen!" Krow's voice felt distant to Owen, it was distorted.

No. I won't let you get away with that.

Not again.

"Wha... Why are you.. doing this?" Owen's vision was blurry, the pain in his head growing stronger.

Was he going to die? He can't, not like this.

Right?

You will never hurt them again.

I won't let you.

Apo-

Goodbye... Owen.

Owen's vision faded to darkness.

Owen didn't believe it. 

Was he really beaten that easily?

Maybe he was...

That thing.

That disease.

This is all his fault.

Owen's not to blame, is he? 

He only ever did want he was taught.

He can't die.

He can't-

Just die, Owen.
