Adjusting to the new life.

by Itz_Vira1

Summary:

I decided to make a bunch of one-shots of my universe of 007n7/1x1x1x1 because I am slowly going insane.

Some of the chapters will take time before 1x4 arrived at the survivors' island, mainly him taking care of the killer's cabin and especially the children there, and others will take time after the Forsaken arc, where they all escaped alive (because I want them to have a happy ending 😔🙏)

Subtitles:

💚: Before living on the survivors' island
💛: Living with the survivors
🩷: After forsaken Island

Chapter 1: 💛: Admiration.

Notes:

Well, hello again

This chapter is focused on Noob and 1x4, where the former killer finally manages to interact with the young robloxian without causing them a heart attack or making them faint. And the reason for their interaction? Drawings!

     It was an ordinary evening. A light rain fell outside the main cabin, creating a soft sound. 1x4 found herself sitting by the window, gazing out while holding a book. She waited for the round to end so she could see her husband again. Some of the survivors remained in the cabin, not teleported to the current round. One of the survivors who remained was Noob. The young Robloxian was in the dining room, chatting with BrightEyes while organizing a few things here and there in the kitchen. She glanced into the kitchen, seeing her mother working so quickly as she struggled to pick up a single book from the floor without looking like a doll with wobbly legs.

     She looked at her belly, gently stroking it with affection before turning back to the kitchen. She wanted to go in there and join them, but she knew it would give poor Noob a heart attack. To be fair, no one except 007n7 was entirely used to having one of the world's most deadly assassins living with them. However, Noob reminded her of her younger self: always willing to help, curious, fascinated by everything. She couldn't help but feel a pang of protectiveness toward them after she started living there. She tried interacting with Noob several times, but they always cowered and found an excuse to run away. She sighed and closed the book, setting it aside before standing up with a groan.

     She walked toward the kitchen, her back arched to support the child's weight, wearing an old 007n7 shirt that was a little too big for her but covered her belly well. She held on to the doorframe, looking inside, hoping her mother or Noob would notice her there. Her attention was drawn to what Noob had been doing the whole time: drawing. She watched them draw while talking to Bright, genuinely interested and impressed by their skills. She had wanted to draw like that in the past, but... events in her life had prevented her from focusing on it. Even though her mother encouraged her, she was still too afraid of disappointing him.

     She approached the table where Noob was sitting, trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to scare them. She stood a little away from them, observing their drawings curiously. She analyzed every detail, every expression, every pose, and had to admit they did an incredible job. She smiled a little, still looking at their hands working on a new sketch. She put her arms behind her back and leaned in slightly to get a better look. Noob still didn't notice her there, too focused on their conversation with Bright and the drawing to notice the former assassin standing beside them, watching them draw.        

     As Noob looked up to see whom the shadow belonged, they nearly fell from their chair and spat out their soul after they saw 1x4 standing there, just observing them, looking at their drawings like some sort of raven. She looked at Noob, her expression calm as she observed their reaction, how they started to tremble. She looked back at the drawings, blinking a few times before finally speaking.

     "How long have you been drawing? You're quite good at it." She asked, her voice filled with genuine interest. They blinked and looked at her, their trembling stopping a little as they took in her question. They looked back at their drawing, their face softening as they finally realised why she was there. "Oh, I started in middle school, 6th grade." They explained, finally looking at her. She nodded in response, her eyes moving to another drawing in another paper, looking at it like it was a museum piece. They moved closer once again, still keeping a small distance, but not as big like she was going to crush their skull.

     "Can I see you draw?" She asked again, looking at them. She really wanted to just watch them continuing drawing. It looked like she was watching a movie from how entertained she was. "Oh, s- sure, take a seat...." They mumbled, watching as she gently pulled a chair back and sat down, her hands holding her bump before they went rest on the table. They looked back at their drawing, continuing to draw while having her watching him. BrightEyes chuckled and shook her head, turning around to take something on the cabinet and moving to the sink. 1x4's attention was focused fully on the drawing, taking in their techniques and how they draw. She smiled slightly, leaning against the backrest of the chair.

    BrightEyes walked to the table holding three empty mugs, placing them next to the sugar bowl and some tea bags. She approached her daughter, stroking her hair affectionately before looking at Noob. She knew it would take the others a while to get used to 1x1's presence in the cabin, especially after everything that happened on rounds, but she hoped they would realize her daughter wasn't just a bloodthirsty monster, not naturally. Her attention was caught when the kettle began to hiss, signaling the water was boiling. She walked to the stove and turned it off, picking up the kettle with a cloth and walking to the table. She opened a corner of the towel and placed the kettle there.

     "Noob, what flavor do you want?" 1x4 asked, pouring herself some chamomile tea. BrightEyes poured him cinnamon tea, adding a sugar cube and stirring well. "O-Oh, green tea is fine, thanks." They whispered, watching 1x1 pour them their tea and carefully push the mug toward them. She took a sip of her own tea, closed her eyes, and placed a hand on her stomach, feeling her body warm from the liquid. She turned her head when she heard a noise coming from the entrance. The others were back. She frowned and let out a small pain hiss when she noticed how haggard they looked, and judging by the marks on their bodies, Mafioso was the killer of the round.

     "You have incredible talent, kid. You should invest in it," she admitted, glancing at Noob for a brief moment before standing and walking over to the group of survivors, on her way to help Elliot heal them. Noob stood there in their chair, their eyes slightly wide as they watched 1x1 helping the pizza guy patch to the others. Their cheeks were slightly pink with admiration for the former assassin. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.

Notes:

Hello! :D

So, what do you think? I tried to balance their interactions the best way I could and tried to keep Noob's personality a bit skittish towards 1x1 in the start, but more melted at the end of it.
Feel free to give any suggestions for the next chapter because I seriously don't know what to write next :'D

Chapter 2: 💛: You look like somebody I used to know.

Notes:

Hello! :D

I finally had the inspiration to post a new chapter here, and it came at 1:30am. while I was waiting for my cough medication to take effect.

Anyways, today's chapter is focused on Guest 1337 and 1x1x1x1. The former killer makes Guest, somehow, remember his own wife before she had their little Charlotte, and he kinda misses the sensation of being near Charlotte's baby bump while she was still inside Daisy.

     The day started like any another day. They woke up, had breakfast, and somehow relaxed before the afternoon, where the rounds started. Guest 1337 wasn't much different from the others. He was talking with other survivors during morning, but now he's just sitting on the couch and staring at the fireplace, lost in thought. He snapped back to reality when he saw 1x1x1x1 approaching by the corner of his eyes. His body went stiff for a moment, ready to block an attack or punch them. But he stopped mid thought when his eyes trailed to their pregnant bump. It wasn't huge yet, but it was perfectly visible, even under n7's old shirts, that weren't that large anyways, so the bump was always pressed against the fabric.

     1x4 was just organising some books the others left behind, being quite aclean. Guest's eyes softened slightly as he watched them move around with some care. He noticed how they were practically ignoring the books on the floor or on the coffee table, and he realised that it was they couldn't reach them properly. He quickly got up from their seat and started helping 1x out, taking the books from the floor and making a small pile on his arms. 1x looked at him, a bit surprised to see someone else rather than n7 helping them without being asked for. But they wouldn't complain. They started to organise the books back on the bookshelf, taking the ones Guest was handing to them. 

     Guest's eyes went to 1x1's slightly arched back, his mind wandering off to the past of when he was with his wife. He couldn't help but smile slightly with the memory of Daisy walking around, glowing while carrying their little Charlotte. All the nights he spent awake, helping Daisy with sickness or just holding her when she couldn't sleep, all those memories left a sweet taste on his lips. He looked down at 1x's belly, his eyes shining slightly when he witnessed the moment that the baby moved inside her. He always had a soft spot for kids, loving how they saw the world so bright and happy. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally having the courage to speak, being careful not to sound so intrusive.

     "So, how is the baby doing? They seem to be  a calm little one." He asked, chuckling slightly to keep the atmosphere serene. He watched as her hand gently went to her womb, caressing it in slow movements. He could see her smiling for a moment while feeling her child, a rare sight considering she always seemed to be in a bad mood. "They are doing quite fine, and they really are a calm little one, at least for now." She answered, still smiling. He cheered internally, proud that he managed to start a conversation with her without upsetting her. His face softened, and his smile got warm. He was happy to hear that the baby was fine. Guest was actually happy for 007n7, seeing that he found something so nice and beautiful in the middle of such chaos.

     "My wife and I had a daughter, I think she would like to meet both you and your child." He smiled. He can mentally picture Daisy being friends with 1x4 and helping her with the baby. After 1x1 was done organising the books, he stepped aside so she could move, staying near to help her of needed. He stayed there while she organised the pillows on the couch, just keeping an eye on her and making sure she didn't need help with her chores or movements. His mind started to wander back to a day in specific where 7n7 brought him aside to talk with him, the conversation still fresh on his mind.

◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○

     It was not long after dinner. Noob was helping Elliot wash the dishes while Guest was cleaning the table. The military was interrupted by a hand on his shoulder, looking over it to see the former hacker standing there. He had a more serious expression on his face, which concerned Guest for a moment. The man called him aside for a couple of minutes, sitting on the front porch with him. They both could see 1x1 talking with her mom in front of a cabin, probably just casually chatting. 007n7 sighed and leaned against the chair before finally speaking up.

     "You know... You are one of the people I trust the most in here, right?" He started, his eyes not meeting Guest's eyes, but yes, focused on his spouse talking with BrightEyes. Guest looked at him with a worried frown, wondering what happened to make the former hacker look so serious while he was usually the calmest survivor. "Yeah, and I appreciate it... But, what happened?" The soldier asked, his arms resting on his knees while he looked at n7 with a concerned face. 

     "It nothing that serious, but I wanted to ask you a favour..." The man continued, finally looking at Guest. His eyes were a mix of seriousness and trust, like he was about to trust his own life to Guest and go off on a suicidal mission. "I want you to keep an eye and take care of 1x when I'm not around. I get anxious during rounds while thinking about them and that they could get hurt. So I want you to promise me that you will make sure they don't get hurt while I am nor around." He mumbled. Guest was taken aback for a minute before his shoulders relaxed and his face softened. He knows how much n7 cares about his family and how they would do anything for his son and his spouse. He smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze.

     "I promise I will keep them safe when you're not around. I know how much you care about them, and I want to assure you that nothing bad will happen to them while I am around." 

◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○◇○

     Guest was brought back to the present when he heard the pregnant one sitting on the couch, a soft groan escaping her lips from back pain. His shoulders relaxed, and his lips curled back into a soft smile. He sat down by her side, looking at the fire while still silent. His gaze went to her baby bump, watching her hands caress and cradle it with love. He wanted to reach his hand and touch her belly, feel the baby moving under his palm just like he used to do with Daisy. He leaned forward, his elbows resting on his legs while his gaze was still on her belly. She looked at him and back to her belly, leaning more against the couch.

     "Do you want to feel them?" She asked. This made Guest snap back to reality, and his eyes light up with excitement. If he had a tail, it would be wiggling around just like a dog's tail after being called 'good boy'. He quickly nodded, moving closer to her. He took a deep breath to calm down and carefully placed his hands on her belly. His heart skipped a beat with how warm and round it felt, his mind being filled with good memories of when he used to feel his daughter kicking. He rubbed his hands up and down on her belly, feeling the baby kick and move inside of it. He chuckled with the sensation, a silly smile on his lips while he caressed her womb. "Hey there, little one." He smiled, feeling the child kick in response to his words."You can listen to them if you want to." 

     He looked at her with expectant eyes, like he had been waiting for this moment all his life. He adjusted himself and gently laid his head on her leg, his ear pressed against her stomach. His heart fluttered with the sound of that tiny heartbeat. He closed his eyes and just let himself enjoy the sound, reminding once again of his daughter. He can recall all the times he fell asleep while hearing that same sound back there, how he would wake up just to feel his baby kicking and moving. His face relaxed, and he leaned further against her belly, not wanting to miss a single heartbeat coming from there. 1x4 looked down at him, her face softening. She knows how much her husband trusts him, and she can see why. She leaned her head against the couch, watching as he heard her baby inside her belly. She sighed soflty and gently caressed her baby bump. "You will be an amazing uncle..." She whispered. He opened his eyes, looking at her with a hopeful smile before closing his eyes once again, his ear pressed against her bump. "Thank you...." 

Notes:

I really liked writting this chapter, mainly because I like the dynamic of Guest being that cool uncle who takes care of the children when their parents need to go out.
Anyways, I am thinking on making the next chapter about C00lKidd and 1x1x1x1, just her taking care of the little trouble maker, what do you think?

Chapter 3: 💚: I feel safer when I am with you.

Notes:

I practically unburied this fanfic from the pit, dayum
Anyways, I didn't know I would take so long to write the other fanfics so yeah, this one was kinda dead, sorry about that

This chapter was inspired by a fanart of that same artist I mentioned in "Happier than ever," so yeah
Mileon, thank you for inspiring me to write this fanfic, I really didn't know what to write before (´TωT`)

Enjoy!!

     The night fell on the Forsaken realm alongside a heavy thunderstorm. The lightning bolts crossed the sky every few minutes, painting the clouds with an electric white. 1x4 was finishing setting the table with Azure's help. She was taking the plates while Azure put the towel on the table, their tentacles adjusting the edges of the cloth. The hatred creation walked closer, placing the plates down in front of each chair, and the silverware was placed right by the side of each one. The other killers were in the living room or their rooms, just minding their own business. She would occasionally check the living room, making sure Pr3typriincess and Bluudud weren't killing each other, but the girl was just colouring some drawings and the boy was playing on his phone. Nothing was out of the ordinary, except for Bluudud not cursing at someone while playing and Pr3typriincess scolding him for it.

     She noticed that one of them was missing, and it was C00lkidd. She frowned and looked around the room, trying to spot the red child, but she only found Mafioso taking care of his bunny and Jason cleaning his machete in silence. She couldn't help but feel a bit worried about the third kid. Her tail moved slightly behind her, the spikes rising with her growing uneasiness. She slowly walked to the two kids, her boots making a soft sound on the wooden floor. She stopped a bit behind them. She looked around one last time, her lips becoming a thin line. She placed one hand on the couch backrest and looked at the children there. "Where is C00lkidd?" She asked, looking at the girl and then at the boy. Priincess looked at the woman with her round eyes, tilting her head slightly to the side. "He was in his room, he said he wasn't feeling well." She explained, pointing at the stairs with a crayon. 1x1 looked at the stairs and nodded. She gave the girl a quick pat on the head before heading to the staircase.

     "C00lkidd?" She called out from the bottom of the stairs, but no answer came. She sighed and slowly started to head upstairs, calling his name once again. "C00lkidd? Come on, dinner is almost ready, you will like it." She tried to persuade him out of his room, but still, no answer came. She felt her heart tightening with worry. Usually, C00lkidd was the first one to come out running when dinner was ready. She stopped in front of his door, and she hesitated for a second before gently knocking on the door. She carefully opened it and peeked her head inside the room. She looked around the area, looking for the child anywhere. The only thing she found was a big lump under the blankets, shaking with each thunder outside. She furrowed her brows and walked closer to his bed, her tail moving behind her. Her hand gently patted what she assumed was his back, trying to get the boy to come out of his hiding spot. "Hey, what happened?" She asked, her voice low and calm. She watched as the blankets moved around and his head appeared in the middle of it.

     The boy looked terrified, with small tears in his eyes and his entire body shaking. He flinched every time he heard thunder breaking outside. She let out a soft coo and sat down by his side. Her wings got out of her, creating a protective blanket around him while she brought him closer to her body. Sometimes she forgets that, even after everything, he is still just a kid, barely 8 or 9 years old, terrified and away from his dad. She wrapped the blanket around it, leaving his head covered in a sort of hood. She kicked her boots off her feet, crossing her legs around him while hugging his body. She used her wings to cover him and shield him from the storm outside, trying her best to keep him calm. "It's okay...." She whispered, rubbing his back up and down with her hand. The boy was firmly holding her top, hiding his face on her chest. She kissed his forehead, gently patting his back. He sniffled against him, his little body looking so small in her arms. "Mama... I'm scared..." He mumbled, trying to hide on her.

     She gently hushed him, rocking him back and forth on her arms. She gently uncovered his head, looking at his little scared eyes. Her chest ached with the vision, seeing him so afraid of the storm. She adjusted him on her lap, lying him sideways against her body, just like a baby. His cheek was pressed against her chest, his hands curled against him. She started to hum a soft melody for him, gently tapping his back. It was an odd vision, the creation of hatred being so loving and maternal towards a child. C00lkidd held the fabric of her top, hiding his face on her chest. She slowly got up with him in her arms, walking to the window. She opened the window a bit and put her hand outside. "See? It's just water, baby." She whispered, looking down at him. The boy looked at her hand, seeing her skin getting wet from the rain. The storm in this realm was far different from the rain in Robloxia. He slowly reached his hand to hers, his skin getting wet from the rain as well. 

     She smiled and continued to rock him, bringing her hand inside and playfully passing the water by his face, making him giggle. She closed the window and turned away from it, holding him with both her arms. "As long as I am here, you don't need to be afraid." She whispered, looking at him. He silently nodded, laying his head on her chest once again. He would still flinch at the loud noises, but felt significantly safer around her. She walked back to the bed, sitting down with him in her arms. He held the fabric of her top, looking at her. She silently understood it and uncovered a side of her chest, giving it to the boy. It wasn't something so frequent, but he was the only one of the kids who still wanted to be fed like this, probably because he was the youngest of them. She didn't mind it much, just created some boundaries for both of them. Like no biting, no pulling, and not doing it every night. She knew how important it was for him to create his ways to soothe himself without needing her body. 

     She leaned against the wall, looking out the window while the boy fed on her chest, closing his eyes and holding her. She continued to hum while tapping his back, just letting him drink for that moment.

Notes:

*Akward smile*
I'm so sorry if the last scene looked weird, I just wanted to make them have a cute mother-son moment 😭
Anyways, I really don't know what I will write next, probably Shed and 1x4(?)
Well, see you soon!

Chapter 4: 🩷 Sand and water

Notes:

I needed to write them having a day in the beach for the sake of my soul
I want to go to the beach so bad.
I hc that 1x4 knows how to swim super well because of her training, so she learned how to swim when she was still young and moves really well under water, just like a siren or a sea snake.

I wanted to finally present yall their daughter, Elendor, I'll soon come with a desing for her, I already have an idea on my head for how she will look like
I will still post fanfics where 1x is still pregnant or before being pregnant tho

     The sun was shining bright on the blue sky, with almost no clouds up there. Kids played in the sand, and people chatted happily. After all that happened, the survivors and some killers decided to keep in contact with each other, considering what they went through together. Today wasn't much different. Elliot, Guest, Chance and Two Times were playing in the water, the glamber and Elliot making a wet sand war. BrightEyes was eating an ice cream on her chair under the big parasol, chatting with Daisy while Shedletsky was snoring by her side, his toes on the sun and a book on his chest. AzureWrath was just lying on a towel, eyes closed and a towel over his eyes. Dusekkar was asleep on his towel, floating slightly and having his arms crossed. 007n7 was sitting on his chair, reading a book while drinking some coconut water. His spouse was sitting right by his side, holding their daughter in her arms while watching C00lkidd playing in the sand with his friends, building a comically big sand castle. Builderman was at a vending stall, waiting in line to get a drink, but the couple in front of him was taking too long, making him look up and sigh silently, wanting to be anywhere else but there.

     She leaned against her chair, a soft smile on her lips while she looked at the kids giggling and playing. C00lkidd had duck-themed arm floaties on, the child was still learning how to swim properly so they decided to get him an arm floatie. Of course he would choose the duck themed one. Charlotte was helping Pr3typriincess to build the towers of the castle while Bluudud and C00lkidd built the surroundings. Builderman finally returned from the vending stall he was at, holding a bottle of juice for 1x. He handed it to his 'niece', who accepted with a polite nod and took a sip from it. He sat down near the kids, watching them build the castle, impressed by how well-structured it was. These kids are awesome working together. 1x looked up from the kids and looked at the sea. Two Time and Elliot teamed up and were trying to knock down Guest and Chance. Even though Guest was playing with them too, he was also keeping an eye on the other three to make sure they wouldn't drown themselves while trying to jump over a wave that was bigger than them. She looked down at her daughter, who was trying to take a lock of her mom's hair between her little chubby fingers. She giggled and took the baby's hand in hers, kissing her small palm, sniffing the smell of baby suncream and lotion. 

     Elendor cooed and held her mom's finger, bringing it to her mouth and trying to suck on it. 1x mumbled something and pulled her finger away carefully, afraid that her claws might hurt her baby. Before the baby could start crying, she pulled her bikini top down on one side and brought her daughter closer to her. The baby's hands quickly held the breast as she started to feed herself, her eyes closing and her entire body relaxing against the mother's arms. 1x hands gently held the baby, caressing her back while watching her nurse. She looked up once again, watching the waves while the sound of the kids talking and the baby sucking filled her ears. She felt a hand touch her leg, looking at it, she saw her husband's hand, gently caressing her skin. She smiled and looked at him. He gently leaned closer and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, putting a lock of her hair behind her ear. He broke the kiss and looked down at the baby. His finger slowly reached to her short, dark hair, gently caressing the small strands and her small pointy ear, making it move without the baby realising or having any control over it. 

     Elendor grumbled against the mom's chest, kicking her little legs before nuzzling closer to her. Seven chuckled and gently caressed her head with love, his heart filling with love as he watched his daughter calmly nursing. His hand went to her small hand, holding it between his fingers. It still felt so surreal how something so small and delicate came from the deadliest former killer. He gently held her hand, his chin lying on his spouse's shoulder. His eyes looked up from the baby, looking at the sea. He frowned his brows, looking around and not finding the former bomber, Taph. "Hey, where is Taph?..." He whispered. Her brows furrowed and she started to look around as well, even looking behind her to see if they didn't go to the bathroom or anything. Both of them nearly jumped on their spot when they heard a loud sound coming from the sea. When they turned around, they saw both Elliot and Two Time flying a few meters off the floor and falling back on the water while Chance covered their mouth in shock and a completely soaked Taph laughed their ass off. Even Elendor let go of the mom's chest to look at the commotion, her eyes a bit widened from the sudden explosion. They looked at each other, their eyes widened with worry, her head wings folded down before they both looked back to the water. 

     Without 1x noticing, Seven carefully pulled her bikini top back up, since Elendor was already full. C00lkidd was staring at the sea in amazement, wanting to be thrown up by Taph as well. He quickly got up from his spot and started running to the sea. Builderman noticed and got up faster than ever and started to follow the kid to the sea as well, asking himself how he was that fast. Seven also noticed C00lkidd running to the sea and almost had a heart attack. He jumped off from his seat, running after his little red devil. He got up with C00lkidd just as Taph was about to detonate another bomb and make the other boys fly. Seven picked the boy up in the second the bomb exploded, sending all the four robloxians up high, Elliot screaming, Chance laughing, Guest praying for his life and Two Time having the time of their life. The water fell all over C00lkidd and Seven's body, making the boy laugh and the adult man sigh, his eyes closed and hair dripping. 1x grinned before starting to laugh, her head wings opening. She got up to join them on the water, leaving Elendor with Bright, who already wanted to hold her grandchild but was waiting 1x to finish feeding her. She walked closer to Seven and gently wiped the salty water off from his face with her hands, looking down at C00lkid, who was soaked but having fun.

     Seven put C00lkidd down, who quickly ran towards the group. Guest picked up the boy just before he was thrown back in the air, C00lkidd letting out a loud and happy "weeeee" while falling on the sea with Guest. Sometimes they forget that Taph's bombs don't cause any damage to them and only to constructions that were banned. Seven was a bit hesitant on letting C00lkidd go with the other to a more deep part, but all the other adults knew how to swim and could help C00lkidd, plus, he had his floaties on. Seven pulled his spouse closer by the waist, holding her against his body and placing kisses on her neck and shoulders. She giggled and caressed his hair with her claws before looking back at the group playing and swimming. Elliot was holding C00lkidd's hands and helping him paddle his feet around in the water while they all played Marco Polo, with Two Time having a hard time catching any of them. "Want to join them?" She asked, looking at him. He gave shoulders and continued watching the others play, the waves crashing against their legs. "Let's wait until Two Time wins this round" He chuckled, making her scoff and roll her eyes, her hands on her hips while she watched them. "After 10 years they will find someone" She scoffed, making him laugh and pulled her closer to him, kissing her lips before walking with her to where the others were at.

     1x got down almost immediately, silently swimming closer to the rest of the group alongside her husband, both of them holding their laugh while Two Time failed miserably to catch any of them. 1x revealed to be an amazing swimmer, diving down and emerging far away from the others without needing to gasp for air, leaving Seven impressed and amazed by her abilities, this woman never fails in surprising him and making him fall in love with her even more every day. She could easily dodge from any “attack” Two Time tried to grab any of them, even scaring them by grabbing their feet while she was under water, making them scream and jump, opening their eyes and putting a hand over their heart. She emerged from under water, chuckling and passing a hand by her face to wipe out the salty water from her face. She smiled and swimmed closer to the other, gently picking C00lkidd on her arms and kissing his forehead. Two Time decided to change places with Guest, putting the former military to try catching them. Everyone else nearly froze in their places, knowing how good Guest’s hearing was. With no time, they all started to move around in panic while Guest effortlessly went after them with his eyes closed, nearly making Chance jump away. This was definitely the best vacations they all had in years.

I wanted to try writing something more scary and gory this time, just to throw a cute scene at your face right after
Consider this a REALLY early "Halloween" thing
I will write then in Halloween in the future, don't worry
It's my favourite season, it would be a crime against myself if I didn't write something about it
Anyways
Enjoy!!

(The title was inspired by a line in "Meet me in the Woods" from Lord Huron
And it's also the title of my other fanfic *insert false shocked face*)

Blood

Screams

Panic

And then darkness. It has haunted him ever since they escaped, replaying in his worst nightmares.

 

     He was walking by one of the maps, his heart beating strongly on his chest. Everything was eerily quiet, not even the wind could be heard. His legs moved with fear, his hands shaking as the forest continued to swallow him deeper. He heard a rustle behind him. He turned around abruptly, finding nothing less than a bone there, lying on the grass like it was normal. He stared at it for a moment, his mind racing. It was a kid's bone. His breathing got quicker on his chest, like his lungs could explode at any moment. His head turned to the side, hearing a faint cry coming from the woods. He recognised that cry. His son, his C00lkidd. He wanted to run to his son, hold him and hug him, but something felt wrong. Where was his lower half?

     His legs started to tremble as he took in the image of his son, missing his lower half, his intestines scattered over the grass. His eyes filled with tears while he tried to get closer. He stopped when the boy looked at him, the vision making him nauseous. This thing stopped being his son a long time ago. His mouth was broken open, teeth growing where they shouldn't be, a black, putrid-smelling liquid flowing from his non-existent lips, dripping on the floor, worms falling alongside rotten teeth and pieces of flesh. His eyes were sunken into his skull, with only white pupils being seen through the holes. He nearly fell on his butt when the creature crawled away as fast as lightning, leaving behind a trail of maggots, rotten teeth, bile, and blood. 

"Why?"  He heard someone speaking behind him. He froze on his feet, this was his spouse's voice. He slowly turned to look at the source of the voice, finding indeed his spouse there, well, what once was her. She was as thin as a skeleton, like her limbs could break with a single touch. Her eyes were completely missing, blood trailing down the holes where they once were. He looked down at her body, a cold sweat running down his spine. Her stomach was open, some of her viscera hanging out of it, including her uterus. It was lacered, open to the point it was barely recognisable. But something was missing. Their baby. Their baby was ripped out of her uterus. "Why did you let it kill me? Why did you let it rip them out of me? Why did you let it kill them?" She asked, her voice echoed, like she was a ghost crying. He looked up to her arms, something he didn't realise before. She was holding something, their baby, almost fully decomposed on her arms, bones showing, skin falling apart, maggots coming out of their skin. The tears finally started to run down his face, the deformed C00lkidd appearing by her side. His vision started to turn into a tunnel, and the image of his family slowly getting farther from him, the sound of his son calling "papa" while reaching a hand to him, the sight of his spouse's eye holes staring at him.

He woke up jumping, panting and sweating. His eyes were wide and his heart was close to breaking out of his chest. He quickly looked to the side, panic taking over him as he looked for his spouse, just to find her completely fine by his side, sound asleep and tucked comfortably under the blankets. His shoulders dropped and he sighed, his hands passing by his face. She stared at the wall for a moment before getting up from the bed, leaving the room. He silently walked to C00lkidd's room, gently opening the door and entering. He walked closer to the bed, his son soundly asleep on the bed. He passed a hand by his neck, his heart finally calming down after seeing them both fine. He picked the blankets from the floor and covered his son once again, gently caressing his head and kissing it.

     He walked to the bathroom, turning on the lights and turning on the faucet. He let the cold water run down a little before cupping some on his hands and splashing it on his face, holding the sides of the sink while breathing through his mouth. "Darling?" Someone called him. He jumped and nearly fell. He closed the faucet and looked over his shoulder, finding his wife wrapped in a robe, standing in the doorway, one hand holding the door frame while the other supported her pregnant belly. He quickly wiped his face with his hands, drying them on his tank top, and walked closer to her, one hand going to her womb and the other to the bottom of her elbow, supporting it. "My love, you should be in bed, you're almost due..." He whispered, gently guiding her back to the room and turning off the lights in the bathroom. "And so do you, it's 2 am." She responded, walking slowly towards the room

     Seven helped her sit back on the bed, rubbing her belly and kissing her head. But she knew something was wrong. Before he could go away she firmly held his arm, stopping him from going away. He looked at her, their eyes meeting as she looked at him with both concerned and determined eyes. "I'm not sleeping until you tell me what is happening." She muttered. He felt a shiver running down his body. Damn, that woman can be scary. He silently sat by her side, his posture folded forward. He stared at the floor for some seconds, his mind racing before he sighed and rubbed his eyes with two fingers. "It was just a nightmare about it hurting you three..." He whispered. The barely mention os Spectre sounds like a curse on his mind. She looked at him with sympathetic eyes, her hand reaching his arms and gently pulling him closer. She lay on the bed with him nuzzling against her body. She knows how paranoid he still is about it.

     "Love, we are fine. It can't come back to hurt us, Dad made sure of it... I know it still sounds scary, but nothing bad will happen to any of us... I promise.. I promise..." She whispered, cradling him closer as he cried against her shoulder, holding her body like she might disappear if he let go of it. She gently hushed him, rubbing circles on his back and kissing his head. He comforted her so many times when she was afraid that her baby could get hurt, or that he could be dragged away from her. Now, she wanted to reassure him that nothing bad would happen to them ever again. He hugged her tightly, being careful with her belly. He slowly uncovered his face, his eyes red and puffy from tears. His hand reached her stomach, carefully touching it and caressing the round bump. "See? It's real, the baby is fine, we are fine." She assured, squeezing him closer.

     He closed his eyes, taking in her scent. His ears started to clean out as well, his heart slowly calming down. She took his hand in hers, holding it firmly, their wedding rings touching. She pulled the blankets up to cover them both, tucking him under the blankets. Her hand started to caress his hair, her claws massaging his scalp. She was entirely focused on him until she heard a sound coming from the door. She looked up to find C00lkidd standing there, holding his favourite toy in his arms. "Can I sleep with you?... I'm scared of the snowstorm..." The young boy asked. She didn't even realise that a snowstorm had started, being too focused on her husband. Seven looked up from 1x1's shoulder, looking at his son. He smiled pulled up the covers, and invited the boy to the bed. "Come here buddy, mommy and daddy will protect you." He whispered. The boy quickly went to the bed and made his way under the blankets, lying in the middle of them both.

     In no time, the boy was asleep once again against the two adults, holding his toy against his body. Her hand was gently caressing his hair while the other rested under her head. His eyes were looking at her hand before looking at her face, his expression softening at the sight of them both together, fine and safe. He slowly started to push the image of his nightmare to the bottom of his mind, his brain now focusing on what he was seeing. His hand reached her face, cupping her cheek and caressing it with his thumb. She looked up at him and smiled, them both leaning closer to a kiss. He gently kissed her lips before leaning back, a smile on his lips. "I love you..." He whispered. She smiled back and nuzzled against his hand. "I love you too... now sleep, we will be fine when you wake up..." She whispered back, watching as he closed his eyes and didn't even fight against the sleep. Her eyes softened and she looked down at C00lkid, kissing his head before closing her eyes as well, giving in to her sleep.
