So this is not part of the story but enjoy. This takes place on the upper ground and it's when Rurik and Lotus were kids ( 9/10).but it has a twist Hope you like it.
Lotus's POV
I looked around. And of course he wasnt here! He never is. I hug myself as I sit at the bench in the park I had to get ditched many times by the same person. I fell to the ground as I tripped from trying to get up from the bench. Someone stuck their hand out and offered me to take it. I did. His hands were gentle and soft considering the guy to be a skeleton. I looked at the mysterious guy and it turned out to be the guy that was in my 3rd grade class. He was hot not gonna lie. I blushed a bit and thanked him. His name was Rurik. If you were confused the person who ditched me was Cray, my 'best friend', that ugly ass lier. I looked at the cherry blossom tree next to us. I walked towards it and began to climb it. He looked at me and started to talk, "Oh so you wanna go like that huh?" Rurik started rambling on, but I was to up on the tree I couldnt hear him at all.
I was already at the top when he caught up to me. "Hey kid you're really fast. What the fuck did you do to make a weak little punk like you to be like that!?" I seprerated his pants from his actual words. "My name isn't kid you know." "Yeah I know, your names Lotus right?" "I'd be lying if I said no." "Cool I bet you know what my name is from me being co-" I cut him off from his own dumb sentence. "You're not cool it's just that people say you're an ass hole for a fourth grader." He sat in silence. I got off from the branch and jumped off. He jumped off right when he snapped out of his daze. Rurik grabbed my hand as his foot got stuck on another branch. So I was upside down as he was the same getting his foot caught by a branch. We were lucky I guess. "Hey I can promise you something, if you're not careful without me you'll end up six feet under!" I knew he was most likely right. I'm just a weak nine year old with absolutely no purpose. I let go of his hand and lied safely in the grass from it being so close. Rurik leaned up and got his foot out of the little gap, and of a dumb ass inside of all of us he fell face first. I helped him get up and he said I have such a grip I could've pulled his arm off. (It happened to me before. That kid hates me for doing it.)
He walked off, but ran back and grabbed my wrist dragging me somewhere. It was beautiful and yet such a mistake to not stop him. He brought me to a section full of cherry blossom trees and bright green grass.

Picture isn't mine)
Although there were three other people there.
Cray,
Paper Cut,
And
White Print.
Oh great. The people who either I hate them, they don't know me, or they hate me. I started in complete silence. Why was here?! Why did Rurik bring me here. I went to turn back, but Cray stopped me. "Hey dude where you heading off to?" I twisted his wrist till it broke in half. He made a quiet scream in pain as it bled. I ran off as I heard them talk about what happened and questions on why I left and did to Cray. The sight was horrifying when I turned back. Cray, he was holding his now broken, fallen off arm. Paper Cut, he was looking at me with fearful eyes. White print was trying to stop the blood rush. And for Rurik he was just staring at the ground with emotionless eyes. I really regretted what happened. I ran home before I could see the view any longer. I felt someone hug me very tightly right before I touched the door knob. It was gentle? I don't know. I definitely felt safe. Hell even protected. It was long after that I looked at the person who hugged me. It was Rurik. He looked more sorry than when he almost killed someone in 3rd grade. Keyword:almost. But I don't think he was sorry when that happened. We caught glances of regret and sorrow. I lightly pushed him away in a thought of anger and went inside my house. I just can't believe why.
The next day.... :)
Ruriks pov
I woke up from a small nightmare I had. I looked at the calendar then the clock. Oh fuck it's Easter! Ok what time? 6 am not bad. I got up from my bed and looked I the mirror. I still look cool. I put on the sunglasses I stole from an 80's reject parasite. I just took them off cuz no.

I heard a lot of yelling and arguing. I booked it and hid in my closet. My door opened a bit. I looked through the thin strips of space in the doors. It was my father dream. This can't be good. He looked around and saw me. Ugh all I could this of was this was a dark game of hide and seek. I paused. I started to remember yesterday. Oh god why am I thinking of this now. I snapped out of it when I saw dream in front of me with the closet doors wide open. He held a doll of dad(fell Ink). I was so confused, I had an adrenaline rush and threw it. He was about to stab the doll, but since that happened he stabbed my chin instead. He laughed like a psycho.
Later that dayyyyyy \:(
Lotus's pov
I sat on my door step as my dad, Geno made food for my father, Reaper.
Time skip cuz this is getting long. And not all of u are reading this.
I saw Rurik walking towards me with a scared look and a paper towel over his chin.
All I could ask was, "Are you oka- " "I don't wanna talk about it." Oh... Ok then, that was weird. He took off to reveal a bloody open cut. It was gruesome so to say. I hugged him tightly, and I could feel his body getting the tinest bit warmer. He jumped a bit but then hugged back.
I just felt the guilt and pity for this sad, sad little boy in front of me.
Ayyyye happy late Easter. meh meeps, peeps, then meh special bleeps. Love u. It's 1150 words.
