*I'm running, without stopping faster than I have before, my vision is blurred by tears, and I'm still running crashing through wherever we are, and then I just collapse and I have to get up but I can't get up, I have to because Zombie needs me to do this, but I'm lost what do I do I just don't know I want to curl up and cry, but I can't I have to run, find the others, but I'm past hysteria I just scream until my lungs feel raw and hope someone hears me and I curl up in a ball and just sit there rocking to try and calm down but it's not working I have to be CALM but I want to CRY AND SCREAM AND MY THOUGHTS ARE SCREAMING I remember a technique people use in books and I recite things I know
My name is Rue. I don't know what my second name is, but my killjoy name is Radiant Oblivion. No-one knows that because Zombie calls me Rue and I don't argue because hey, how can you shorten my killjoy name in a way that makes sense?
I am 16 years old, 17 in a week.
I used to hate Zombie, curse her, imagine all the ways I can kill her, but she saved my life so many times, and she got ill once, depressed past the point of anything and I could have killed her so easily, but she was so weak and helpless and beautiful how could I? She's my best friend, but no, more than that but I don't know in what way. Now she's gone and a maniac took her AND HOW DID I NOT REMEMBER HIM WHEN SHE WOKE UP FROM NIGHTMARES SAYING HIS NAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND CRYING because I know him. I know what he does...what he did to me, I know and now he has her. I can't calm down and I'm hysterical and I scream some more because I get flashes of memory, and then I imagine and imagination is my downfall because I just lay down and scream and cry and I can't stop.*

I hear a blood curdling scream come from with in the woods "Who... What was that?" I nudge sona "Ill bring some of them with me.... I can kill them in the woods stay quiet! Im going to find out who the hell is screaming like an idiot" I can tell this idea is a bad one me only having two large knitting needles as weapons but ill make do and get everyone safe for now " HEY YOU FREAKISH ANIMALS FOLLOW ME!" I dash into the woods adrenaline is the only thing fueling me now I stab one in its blind eye and kill it almost immediately. I keep running " HEY! anyone out here? Need any help?" I continue to stab at the freakish hell cats as i search for the source of the scream.

*I jump when someone screams.* Sweet lady of sorrows, what the hell was that? *Seeing Grim racing off, I follow her with my binoculars. I move them a little bit ahead and see...* Rue? But where's Zombie? Aftermath, do you think she got herself hurt? I mean, it's not as if Zombie's one for following orders...or subtlety.

Wait—Grim! *I ran after her, throwing a knife through a Gnashers skull behind me as it launched itself at me. I clutched the knives remaining in my hands. Four. Damn.* I'm not letting you go alone. *I said as I caught up to her.*

I nod at sona as she catches up not saying anything concentrating on stabbing at the gnashers. I see a small form crumpled on the ground "well shit..." I carefully walk up to the body and check that they are still alive "Rue.... Are you alright?" One of the gnashers catch me off guard and pounces on me "GET THE HELL OFF ME YOU DEMON SPAWN!" I struggle to get out of its grip stabbing furiously at its sides it brings one claw down on my stomach I feel it dig into my skin the pain is almost unbearable I let out an agonized sound much quieter than a scream. 'GET THE HELL UP YOU IDIOT! I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND WATCH YOU LET THIS THING KILL YOU WHEN IM STILL HERE!' oh not the voice again 'KILL IT! if you wont let me kill your friends at least kill the beast!' I frantically stab at the gnasher trying to kill it I manage to hit deep enough to get its heart and it falls on top of me. I feel its warm blood soaking into my clothes. Im going to need a new shirt again.... maybe I can ask aftermath if we can stop at a store or something on the way back. I shake my head trying to come out of the daze I was in and then try to push the thing off of me but I have no luck "Ummm... a little help here sona? please?"

*I turn my head and see Grim covered in blood and a dead Gnasher. With effort, I pushed the thing off of her and helped her up, keeping a hand on her shoulder to steady her.* You alright...? *I trailed off when I saw the body on the ground.* Is that Rue? *I didn't have time to be sure of it. I heard a low growl and whipped around to see more of the Gnashers closing in*

I put a hand over my wounded stomach and crouch over Rue "Yeah its her... we got to get her out of here..." I hear more growling" or up somehwere..." I point to the large tree and hand her a make shift rope its really just a large vine. "Climb that tree toss the rope down Ill tie rue and you can hoist her up... Ill stay down here as long as I can... or until she is safe." I stab a gnasher again "Hurry before these hell cats eat us!"

*I want to argue that she's wounded and she should go first, but there wasn't any time with these damn cats surrounding us. So I grabbed the makeshift rope and hurried up the tree. I perched on a branch and threw the rope back down.* Alright, get Rue!

*There's people coming. And not just people. Something that sounds like...big cats? For a second, I wonder if it's Zombie but then I remember that Nox has her now. I'm dimly aware of a fight around me and then some people...killjoys...girls...saying my name. Slowly I open my eyes. There's blood everywhere, and I'm looking straight into the eyes of...HOLY SHIT! I bolt upright and shuffle back against the tree before I realize the...thing is dead.*

I let out a sigh of relief when rue wakes up "Get in the tree!" she looks at me confused "Climb the damned tree now before i tie you up and have sonata hoist you up the tree!" She starts to climb frantically. I stab at the gnashers more before finally climbing the tree myself. I look for anything to put over my wounded stomach but find nothing. Well isnt this great? 'Its pathetic if you ask me' Well I didnt ask you now did I? 'Then who were you talking to?'.

*I've always hated climbing. But now I manage to do it very quickly since there are things running about everywhere. I reach the place the...others are sitting. Coming to my senses fast, I reach into my holster and take out my gun. I fire at each thing in turn, and after a few clumsy shots, I manage to get bullets in all of their heads. Panting, I look at the two killjoys beside me.* Thank you. What...what should I call you?

I manage to talk even though I am in pain "my name is Grimoire heart you can call me any of the words in that." I scan the area there are a few more of the gnashers at the bottom of the tree "stay quiet... They cant see they rely on sound and smell...." I finally cant take the pain from the open wound. I take off my shirt and tie it around my waist to act as a bandage. "thats a bit better..."

Stained Sonata. *I whispered and nodded at her before turning to Rue.* That looks pretty bad... *I said before taking off my jacket and handing it to her.* Here.

I smile in appreciation at sona "thanks..." I zip the coat up after I put it on "now to get these things away from us so we can get back to fire..." I toss one of my knitting needles from the tree afar as I can into the woods. the gnashers follow the noise I quietly whisper "lets get back soon..."
