Notes:

So first of all, i'm sorry for Bad inglish it isn't my first lenguage,

TW for suicide, self harm, death, slight descripción of wounds and brief mentions of vomit (if i missed anything please tell me)

Sorry if this is Bad it's been a while since i've written anything :"b

It had been a month since c00lkidd went missing, a month since he had been living in that black void with strangers, a month since he followed the voice to the depths of the forest near his house, and exactly five minutes since he was left once again in the same spot he disappeared in, he had felt sick and nauseous when he came back, he stayed In a dazed for a while trying to stop himself from puking, he felt horrible, he wanted his dad, he had missed him for so long while that mean voice refused to let him go,

 

After sometime when the nausea eventually subsided he was finally hit with the realization that he could go back to his dad, to his friends and school, despite not liking school he had grown to miss it, with shaking legs he stood up as he could, his body hurted from months of having chains on his wrist and legs leaving raw Marks, painful Marks that everyone in that place bore, not just him,

 

without any plan in mind the only thing he did was run, admittedly he has no idea where he was going but he did knew that the forest wasn’t that dense and it was fairly easy to get out, so he kept running until he was able to stumble out of the forest, he looked at his surroundings, the biggest smile appearing in his face as he saw his house not that far away, he kept running thinking of all the things he has to tell his dad,

 

In all his excitement he didn't question why the door of his house was opened, “DAD! DAD!! IM BACK, I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL YOU!! DAD!” he screamed as he made his way to his dad’s room and ignored the dust and trash that lingered in the house, “dad!” There at the end of the corridor was his dad's room, the trip has been SO long despite the house small structure, c00lkidd slowed his approach at the strange smell that suddenly hit him, it smelled Bad, so different than anything he has smelled before, he could almost compare it to the stench of his forgotten lunch that he accidentally left in his backpack for weeks to rot,

 

‘i think dad need’s a bath’ c00lkidd thought to himself as a small giggle escaped his mouth, as he walked towards the door he couldn’t help a feeling of dread to fill him, he stood in front of the door that has been left ajar, he quickly pressed his hand and put pressure to Open the door slowly, it creaked is protest as it started revealing the insides of the room,

 

As silence filled the whole house the first thing that c00lkidd noticed in the room was the amount of fresh blood on the wall where his father was, c00lkidd knows that blood is a Bad sign, people only bleed when they are hurt like when he scrapped his knee, but he has never seen so much blood, not even when he saw bluudude break his arm after trying to pull a stunt in his skateboard, was… his dad hurt?

 

c00lkidd carefully made his way to his father’s side being mindful of all the sharp things he’s seen on the ground “dad? Are you okay? you’re bleeding” he crouched at his side as he started shaking his father's shoulder for attention, when he didn't make any movement he clinged to him with even more determination now starting to feel more fearful at his father's lack of response, eventually all the movement Made his dad's body to slump sideways hitting the floor with a dry thump making c00lkidd wince, “i'm sorry! I didn't mean to…” he said to his dad, when he saw how lifeless, he was… was he? NO, it couldn't be he wasn’t de- dead! He was just… hurt, yes that's it! 

 

His dad being as clumsy as he’s always been hurt himself and decided to just sleep it off! He has never been good at taking care of himself, Even as a 10 year old, c00lkidd always has to remind his father to put on bandaids whenever he accidentally cuts himself while making dinner! His dad has always helped c00lkidd when he was hurt so he supposed it would be for the best if now he took care of him, just like the Big boy he was! With this in mind he quickly made his way to the bathroom where the medkit was, entering he took his stepping stool and looked through the bathroom cabinet noticing more blood on the sink albeit this one looked old and dry “dad Will certainly need lots of hugs to feel better” c00lkidd absentmindedly thought before taking the medkit and going back to his dad's room,

 

He knelt down and moved his dad's body to be resting on his back and started searching for the source of the blood, it didn't take him long however as he saw the big bullet wound on his head, it was red and he swore he could see burnt skin and little white pieces in there, it Made him uncomfortable just by looking at it, it Made him want to puke, he checked a bit more to see if that was it, he took notice of all the cuts that lingered his dad's arms, red and angry scratches, they looked like the old scars he has but those were mostly covered now, “it must have been a BAD accident for dad to be like this” 

 

C00lkidd opened the medkit and started patching his dad up, he made sure to cover all the cuts with the dinosaur bandaids, he also took the opportunity to put some around his arms and legs were he has been left hurting by the chains, maybe the others in that place also needed them he wasn't the only one chained after all, but they weren’t there with him, he hoped they also got out of there, he only used one for each limb Even if they didn't really covered anything, he used the biggest bandaids they had but the cuts from the chains went all around the limb it didn't even covered half of the cut, he could see some blood now that he took a closer look, but in the end he decided that his dad needed those bandaids more than him, despite how much the pain Made him want to cry,

 

 

When he was done with both his and his dad's cuts he had ended up using the whole box! But at last every cut was covered, then he moved to look at his head, he didn't have any bandaids left and Even if he did have he doubt that would be enough SO instead he decided to improvise with what he had left, copying what he has seen on movies he took a large bandage and started wrapping it around his head and trying both ends in a bow, he looked at his work proud of himself, now that he was done treating his wounds he had to make sure he rested well, dad has always told him that when he was sick he needed to rest to get better,

 

C00lkidd has tried to get his father to bed but he was too heavy, even after making clones with his c00lgui he wasn't able to pick him up so in the end he took the pillow and blanket from his bed and tucked him in, he even got him one of his plushies so he feels better! “When he wakes up he will be so proud of me! I just know it” c00lkidd declares with a Big smile before he felt something hit his leg, he looked down and noticed the little noob that usually was in his dad's burger hat, it looked at him with an uncharacteristic frown, c00lkidd bent down and took the spider noob, who he had nicknamed burger a few years prior, into his hands “hey burger! I missed You, i’ve been in a very scary place, but now i'm here, i can't wait to hug dad” he smiled at the creature in his hands before it started crawling up his arm and Made its way to the top of his head,

 

“Im excited for tomorrow, maybe dad Will be awake by then” c00lkidd smiled as he decided to go to bed though he didn't stay there for much time, he was scared, he didn't feel good, last time he was alone in the dark that voice appeared and took him away, later that night he found himself in his father's arms searching for comfort, his dad has always been unnaturally cold, but right now he was freezing, c00lkidd was the completely opposite of his father, his skin has always been unnaturally warm almost scorching hot, he snuggled closet to his dad hoping that maybe he could help his father warm up a bit.

 

When sun started shining through the curtains he started getting a bit more worried, his dad wasn't awake, he waited by his side doing about anything he could to distract himself, at one point he tried to find something to eat but everything was rotten, so he decided to wait for his dad, but it was already 4 pm and nothing had happened, “maybe dad needs a doctor? We go there when we are really sick, maybe they can fix the pain too, right?” he asked burger, who hadn’t moved from its perch on his head since morning, receiving no answer “yeah but, i don't know the way… and i don't remember the way to any of my Friends house either so i can't ask for help” he pouted as he looked at his father's direction thinking of anything he could do, “maybe i can ask help from other adults?” C00lkidd didn't want to break the stranger danger rule but at this point he was getting kind of scared, so in the end he made his way back to the streets to ask for help from anyone,

 

He walked a lot that day but it all ended up being futile, nobody batted an eye in his direction most of the time just telling him to stop joking around, the first reactions being looks of disgust being sent his way, there were more than one person who actually stopped to listen to him, they would accompany him back to his house but none entered saying they only wanted to make sure he arrived safely, he knew his dad was disliked, he wasn't dumb, but he had changed, he didn't understand why when he mentioned his dad they would stare at him with disdain, why they all refused to help, it was already dark outside, nobody was around anymore and nobody could help him anymore, he felt lost despite knowing perfectly well his way back to his house, everyone was so mean! Why wouldn’t they help him?! He was so frustrated he kicked a nearby pebble before sitting down at the side of the road sobbing into his arms crying so loudly anyone could hear him, he didn't care if he was being childish anymore, he didn't care about how the other kids would make fun of him for crying like a child, he wanted his dad! He missed him and he was worried! He cried, and cried for minutes that felt like hours,

 

that was the sight that Elliot found when he was walking back to his apartment after a long shift at the pizzería, he had worked extra hours and was absolutely exhausted, he had just wanted to go to sleep and get ready for tomorrow, that's when he heard the crying of a kid, all his fatigue forgotten he made his way to the source, what he hadn’t expected was to find c00lkidd crying his eyes out, he admittedly didn't like the kid or his father, he had been more than happy when they were finally blacklisted, but he also wasn't hearthless, he understood that c00lkidd was a child, barely 10, he had felt Bad when he saw the kid hiding behind his dad with tears when the admins came to take care of the whole ‘pizzeria being on fire’ problem, the kid obviously felt guilty at getting his dad in trouble, at the time the thing that Made him feel better about seeing a kid cry was the promise that maybe he would think twice before putting so many people in danger and learn from this experience,

 

Now the kid hadn't done anything bad, in fact Elliot thinks he saw missing posters of him a while ago, when did he come back? That doesn't matter, he walked towards the crying child being careful so as to not scare him, he crouched down in front of him finally gaining the kid’s attention “hey, are you okay? Where’s your dad?” c00lkidd looked at him, those words were the kindest and softest he has heard the entire day, he did sound exhausted but c00lkidd could hear how he tried hard as to not sound tired, at the moment he kind of ignored the pizza guy’s questions in order to ask for help “dad’s hurt… can you please help him? Please…” 

 

Elliot had to process what he just heard, he was a little too tired to think properly, but when he finally figured out what happened he decided to ask c00lkidd to elaborate more, it wasn't that he didn't believe him, why would the kid be out here alone if that wasn't the case? He just wanted to make sure he wasn't exaggerating “could You tell me what happened?” Apparently the kid took that as a sign that he was going to help because the next thing he does is stand up gripping his hands and start guiding him back to his house while explaining “when i came back Home dad wasn't moving! He was hurt, i tried being a Big kid but he just didn't wake up and i got scared” Elliot understood, he would just go in check super quick maybe wake 007n7 up and then go Home, yeah that sounded like a good idea,

 

As they walked on the dark streets there wasn't much to do so Elliot focused on the, strangely quiet child that was guiding him, he stopped abruptly halting both of their advanced when he saw Big raw cuts, barely hidden by hastily put on bandaids on the kids arms,

 

“Mr pizza guy? Why did we stop?” ignoring the question Elliot took both of the kids hands inspecting the both also taking noticed there where cuts in his legs as well as if he had been pulling at something that clung painfully to them for a long time, that's when his mind, now awake because of the surprise, registered his whole appearance, his clothes were dirty with some ripped parts, he himself seemed dirty, for some reason the noob that usually was at the top of 007n7’s hat was on his head with a frown instead of the usual smile it usually had, and the cuts in his legs were bleeding, his legs were both shaking… he was probably in pain

 

“Kid what happened, are you okay? How did you get hurt?” Elliot asked this time a bit more desperately, now he had no idea what he was about to find out, c00lkidd just looked at his hands before speaking up “that mean voice told me we were going to play, so I followed him, it was dark… and lonely, i was chained with the others, they were nice… i woke up and dad wasn't moving anymore” Elliot think he gets it now… he had just appeared after being missing for so long, was 007n7 actually hurt? Elliot was starting to believe so by tbe minute, maybe what c00lkidd needed right now wasn't a pizza guy, he needed to go to the police station “hey kid would You mind if we go somewhere else before going to your house?”

 

That caused an immediate reaction “NO, we need to help dad! Please!! Nobody has been wanting to help me!” The kid started pleading at the verge of tears once again, Elliot really didn't know what to do now, he knew he needed to contact the police, what if something bad had happened? The kid was really agitated, he knew 007n7 would never hurt his son, that wasn't up for debate, but he had just been informed that there were more people with c00lkidd, and apparently they were chained??? Yeah he needed to tell someone, after sometime of hesitation he sighed,

 

He picked up c00lkidd putting him on his shoulders to stop him from putting any more strain in the cuts on his legs “okay let's go check on 007n7” c00lkidd left out a soft gasp before hugging his head tightly muttering ‘thank you’ to the man who had decided to help him, Elliot Made his decision, he would help 007n7 and then call the police he was sure c00lkidd wouldn't let him help him if he didn't do that first,

 

 

They quickly arrived at the kid's house since they hadn’t been that far away “the door's unlocked, Come on!” C00lkidd exclaimed motioning Elliot to set him on the ground again, he reluctantly did so as he opened the door to let Both of them inside, he immediately noticed how dirty the house was, everything was at disarray and he didn't know what to make of it, he knew 007n7 was doing badly after his son disappeared, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad, maybe he should of have tried to help instead of ignoring him, no matter what their background is, Elliot moved his attention towards c00lkidd when he started running down the hall “come on! Over here, he's in his room”

 

He followed the child looking at his surroundings taking everything in, he had a bad feeling, he still hasn't heard any sounds that could indicate life in that house, was 007n7 even there? As he questioned everything he suddenly reeled back at the strong smell of blood in the air, from inside the room he could hear c00lkidd talking To his father “dad! The pizza guy is here to help! Don't worry you'll be fine now!” Now suddenly aware that he could find something horrible inside, Elliot stepped forward entering the room in which the father of the kid supposedly was,

 

Opening the door revealed the gruesome and disturbing image that would probably hunt his nightmares for days, in there on the floor next to a bloody wall layed 007n7’s dead body, he was covered by a blanket and has a pillow under his head and a little plush beside him, it was obvious that c00lkidd put them there, there was a hasty attempt at patching him up, blood seeping through bandages and bandaids and next to him was c00lkidd innocently talking to his father's corpse,

 

Elliot was frozen in his place, mind barely registering what he was seeing, his breathing started picking up and then “Mr pizza guy… You can help him, right?” C00lkidd asked him with the most innocent look on his eyes, at the moment Elliot lost a battle with his stomach and quickly ran towards the bathroom, which he thankfully took notice of when he was looking around, after emptying all the contents on his stomach he stayed there a few more minutes until c00lkidd came and started patting his back “are you sick too mister pizza guy? im sorry i didn't know” they both stayed there for a while until Elliot was able to stand up once more, he looked at the kid and then back at the room of 007n7, with a shaky sigh he turned to look at c00lkidd and said “hey kid i have to make a call, do you think you could stay in the living room?”

 

“Can I stay with dad?” He asked softly and as much as it hurted to say no he knew that letting him do that would affect him even more,

 

“Im sorry but i don't think you should stay with him at the moment” c00lkidd pouted and started stomping his way to the living room, clearly upset that he couldn't stay, Elliot started for a few seconds before taking out his phone and called 911, he definitely couldn't do much in this situation…

 

It took sometime for the police to arrive, in the meantime he stayed by c00lkidd’s side while the kid rambled about some pretty worrying stories of when he was missing, at one point the kid ended up falling asleep right there on the couch, Elliot brought a blanket from the kid's room and draped it on his shoulders, when he heard the knocking on the door he felt relieved now that professionals were here, what he absolutely didn't expect was the amount of neglect and incompetence the police showed towards the situation,

 

“What do you mean you can’t do anything?! Isn't there some kind of procedure? A plan? Something?!”

 

“sir, right now our biggest priority is to secure the parameter and determine the cause of death, we can’t just assume”

 

“And what about the kid? Can’t you take him to someone else from his family? A closer friend?” The Officer he had been talking to turned to look at the sleeping child with a face of complete disinterest before looking back at Elliot

 

 “look sir, i'm gonna be totally honest with you, back a few days ago everyone at the police station agreed that the child had been missing for far too long to come back, so we just changed his status from missing to deceased, right now that kid is legally dead, and since he is dead we can't take any legal actions without filling some paper work that will take a few weeks, so no, we can't contact any family or Friends”

 

Elliot stared in disbelief at what he just heard “what do you mean you declared him dead? Doesn't it take years to even consider that?! I'm sure it's illegal to just change it like that! Did 007n7 even agree to that!?” he was getting irritated by the minute,

 

“nobody really thought he would come back, we didn't want that man to keep covering the city with those missing posters, they weren't helping, either way what’s done it's done now there isn't much we can do” at the moment the conversation was interrupted when Elliot felt hands cling onto him

 

“Mr pizza guy? Why is the police here? Is everything okay? I heard yelling” there was some silence before the Office released a heavy sight and continue talking “okay here is the thing, our original plan was to just leave him here, this is still his house after all, atleast until we finish paper work, but genuinely i don't care what happens to him so i'm just going to leave him on your hands, You look like a responsible guy” with that said the officer didn't even excused himself instead just turning around and leaving through the door with the rest of the team leaving Elliot and c00lkidd in complete silence “is dad okay now?” C00lkidd asked with a small voice “he isn’t- You know…dead right? He wasn't- i- didn't” c00lkidd stuttered as tears filled his little eyes,

 

Maybe, just maybe c00lkidd had known this entire time but didn't want it to be true, Elliot just crouched down to his level and gave the kid a big hug “i'm…sorry” it was all he was able to tell the weeping child as he held him close, he just let him cry on his shoulder for what felt like hours, he sobbed loudly muttering about how he missed his dad, and how much he missed him, Elliot didn't personally know the family that much, but this whole situation was so heartbreaking and discouraging he couldn't help but shed some tears alongside c00lkidd,

 

After c00lkidd was able to calm himself a little, despite still having tears in his eyes, Elliot decided that it would be for the best to take him away from this traumatic place, “hey kid, how about we go to my house? Im pretty sure i can do something about this injuries of yours, i can't imagine them being comfortable" c00lkidd didn't even talk to him, he was exhausted instead he just nodded his head slowly, Elliot picked him up this time keeping him in his hands, he closed the door behind him with one hand, he stared at it just for a second before he started walking back to his house, the wall there was gloomy, the kid didn't talk he just sobbed on his shoulder with the occasional hiccup, when they arrived at Elliot’s apartment c00lkidd was already asleep, Elliot left c00lkidd on his bed before searching under it for the medkit, he knew a bit about first aid mostly because it was obligatory on his job, he took the already bloody bandaids as careful as he could, in the end the kid woke up again,

 

“im sorry i just need to desinfect this and wrap it up, it's going to sting a little thought” he said before waiting for a response, c00lkidd whined and nodded his head slowly while bracing himself, Elliot did it as fast as he could while still doing it correctly by the time he finished the kid still hadn't said anything, “do you want to go to sleep again?” He just nodded his head before lowering himself down, Elliot put a blanket over him, he stood up going to the living room to sleep on the couch when a small red hand took his “could You… stay? Please?” 

 

“Sure kidd” he laid down next to him letting the kid snuggle on his side trapping him in a hug, it didn't take long for c00lkidd to fall asleep once again leaving Elliot alone with his thoughts, what was he going to do? He couldn't take care of a child. His job took up practically all day since they were often understaffed, on bad days even having to do all the jobs around, he didn't know anybody from c00lkidd's life he could contact, maybe he could ask him? Would that make him think he wanted to get rid of him?

 

He didn't think he could sleep and he certainly couldn't move considering the kid at his side, so instead he decided to do something more productive, shifting himself a bit he was able to get his computer that rested at his bed’s side, he opened it quickly lowering the glow as to not wake c00lkidd up, he Open the email and started writing a complaint to Roblox headquarters about the police office, he made sure to detail all of the story and the people involved, he also made sure to include the possible kidnapping of c00lkidd, about the time he was missing and he wrote about some of the things the kid said while they were waiting for the police, about the ‘others’ that were there with him, he made sure to spare no detail,

 

When he was finished he send it and closed the computer leaving it where it was, and finally laid down, he was still in his dirty uniform, but it was a little late to change now, the kid's clothes were dirty too,

 

He grabbed his phone as he thought that he should probably ask for tomorrow’s day off, he had a lot to worry about.
