{The Fall} (REWRITING)

~~Chapter Thirteen~~

Crack.

Robin was sent flying to the floor, a new bruise forming on her cheek. Demi stood over her, disgust lacing her features as she stamped down on her stomach. Robin's back arched and she coughed, blood coming out with it. Demi kept her heel dug into Robin's ribs and leant in,

''I will ask one more time, Robin. What are your plans??''

Robins vision went hazy, and when she didn't reply, Demi picked her up by her collar and slammed her into the wall. Robin felt her back crack, but not break. Robin's breath sped up, her chest heaving, her nose dripping with crimson red blood. Demi tightened her grip, breathing outward, ''Tell me.'' she stated, seeming calm, but her eyes glimmering with a psychotic light. 

Robin didn't reply. She felt a hand close tightly around her throat, and her lungs felt heavy. Robin's breathing paced up, yet she couldn't breathe.. she saw her vision get fuzzier, and then she went limp. Demi dropped her, seeing her heart still beating, her chest heaving up and down, and left her.

From the next room, Delilah screamed. Dream was about to mangle her arm, pulling it at an angle out of it's socket to the shoulder. Delilah screamed in agony and pain, tears stinging her eyes. Then Demi entered the room, and she knew she wouldn't make it out alive. But, to her relief and surprise, Demi stopped Dream. She got Sapnap to bring her back to the small damp room and threw her beside a worried Fundy, who grabbed her waist and pulled her close in a hug, mumbling how he was so worried. Delilah's arm was sore to say the least, yet she hugged back, and the two stayed embraced like that for a number of minutes. Then Niki spoke up, yet Fundy kept his arms around Delilah, holding her close to him:

''Where's Robin..?'' her voice was small and she stuttered slightly. Despite the lack of light, you could tell she'd been crying.

Delilah shook her head slowly, and spoke up in a pained tone, ''I dunno Niki..But we're going to get out of here, I promise you.''

Much to Delilah's surprise, Kaya had calmed herself in the time Delilah's been gone, and explained everything, how Tommy was 'dead', and how Demi planned to kill Robin, Qwin and Delilah herself. Delilah exhaled and stated:

''Kai, Tommy's fine. He's alive and well.''

Without seeing her face, Delilah knew how much Kaya was relieved. She leant back, fiddling with the red bandana as if it was the most precious thing in the world to her.

Wilbur kicked a chair. He'd just received the news that all of is team had been captured. Tubbo flinched as the chair hit the ground, then said,

''I presume we go after them..?''

''Of course!'' Wilbur snapped. He didn't mean to obviously, he just had been under so much stress recently, it'd gotten to him. He issued an apology to Tubbo, who nodded when he said for him to ready the horses, and left the room, Leaving him with Qwin.

Qwin slowly walked to Wilbur, taking his hand in hers. ''It'll all be fine. We'll win this..'' she said calmly, barley over a whisper. Wilbur nodded, and felt Qwins hand reach his cheek, gently running her thumb over it. He leant into the touch, eyes closing and smiling a bit.

Qwin always knew how to calm Wilbur down.
