He had made a dumb mistake. He had done something so reckless that he did not even want to think about it… He had been here in the Dead World for a while now and he had done something to get himself hurt… and now he was laying in this old abandoned house with the sack of the things he was going to steal scattered across the floor… it was only a few blankets, food, and medical supplies… but they needed it… He might also have put a book into that mix for them to entertain themselves with…
All he had wanted to do was perhaps get something that would help their journey, but that had all gone down the drain when he had been violently attacked by some monster he didn’t have time to identify. Granted, stealing was bad… but still… He hadn’t even told Red where he was going- just that he would be back in a few minutes… for all he knew, Vio abandoned him… He wish he could say otherwise- to yell for him- but in his current state, he could barely lift his own head, let alone speak…
It was beyond frustrating… all that trust he and Red had been so painstakingly built would be gone when Vio didn’t return within the hour… Gone- every last moment in the past month they spent together… all that would be ruined. Defeated and thoroughly beaten, Vio gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, hoping to just wait out until the pain dulled or his breath stopped. Both sounded nice right about now.
He didn’t know when he blacked out exactly… but the next time he opened his eyes, he was on his back instead of his stomach… It took him a while to actually become aware of the things around him… but a simple curl of his fingers and he could tell he was on a padded mattress and there was a thick blanket over him. The smell of charred flesh was in the air and it had him wrinkling his nose in distaste… One of his eyes was still swollen shut and his back hurt like nothing else and his leg- well… he hoped it was wrapped to stop the blood flowing out of him…
Either way, when he turned his head to the side, he most definitely hadn’t been expecting Red to be sitting next to him… he was so tired and hurt that he couldn’t even school his shocked expression which soon melted into a genuine and apologetic expression. “Red…” he ended up whispering out, strained from the bruising around his neck. “I….” how did he even begin? He had left and he didn’t even know how long ago it was… “I am sorry I did not come back right away….”
