Black Rose

Chapter 86

Everything was a blur. Gulf couldn't get the image of a bloody Mild out of his head. He couldn't understand what was happening. He could hear Saint sobbing near by, the beeping of machines, the sounds of beds wheeled away, footsteps. He heard Zee lulling Saint trying to comfort him. He heard the shuffling of feet approach.

He saw a pair of shoes appear in front of his sight but he didn't care. He didn't care about anything.

"Gulf.."

He heard his name really far away and looked up. Mew was standing in front of him looking at him worriedly.

Gulf stared at him blankly, empty, like he couldn't see him, he blinked and looked back down.

Mew felt his heart clench he knew how important Mild was to him, he was his brother. He crouched down and picked up his chin gently making him look at him, but the warmth in his eyes was gone. He felt real fear, Mild had been the one to fix it the last time but what about now. Mew did the only thing he could do for now. He pulled Gulf close and hugged him tightly, he didn't even tense but he also didn't respond to the hug either, it's was like he didn't know what was happening.

Mew rubbed his back gently "It's going be okay, Mild will be okay" he kept one of his arms wrapped tight around his waist and continued rubbing his back "he'll be okay, your brother will be back". Suddenly he felt him tense. Mew pulled back and looked at him. Gulf blinked as if surprised he was in Mew's embrace.

"Mew.." Gulf said painfully "Mew.." he said again his eyes filling with tears.

"I'm here" Mew said touching his cheek gently.

"Mew.." Gulf repeated again and broke down into sobs that shook his whole body he grabbed on to Mew and pulled him closer , wrapping himself tightly around him as if his life depended on it "Mew.." he said again in between broken sobs.

"I'm here" Mew repeated again "I'm not going anywhere" Gulf cried harder, his tears spilling over , he nuzzled his head into Mew's shoulder and soon his shirt was drenched in tears but he didn't care, all he knew was Gulf needed him.

"W-what's going on?!" Boat asked breathless.

Saint stood up walking to him and hugging him, he heard Gulf continue to wail in Mew's arms and couldn't stop his own tears "B-Boat" he said shakily "Mild fell down a flight of stairs he's in critical condition"

Boat felt like his world had collapsed, his knees went weak and he dropped to the floor. Tears silently fell down his face as he held his chest.

"It seems he tripped and-"

"No!" Boat shouted startling Saint, Zee was behind him in an instant.

"No! He didn't trip that killer did it! He did it!" He said frantically.

Gulf stopped sobbing and looked up at Boat "W-What did you s-say??" He croaked out,he began to push away from Mew standing up.
"What do y-you mean?"

"Gulf.." Mew called out but Gulf pushed his hand away.

"I- I- I got a message from Mild saying he found the killer when I tried to call him his phone went straight to voicemail!" He finished, breaking into a sob.

The killer. Mild found the killer and then... to silence him he pushed him down the stairs???? Gulf concentrated . His ears began to ring and he closed his eyes. No, he probably wanted to murder him, if Mild knew, he couldn't take the chance of him living, he opened his eyes and found Saint and Zee looking at him. Zee, he heard Zee coming and opted to silence him quickly. His vision began to blur, Mild found the killer and he waited for him at his place? He knew where Mild lived, he goes in and out unnoticed, it has to be someone we know. He turned around to look at Mew. They are all in danger.
