Empty: An Error Sequel

Truth & Lies

Rick then winced in pain, and he looked as though he was on the verge of tears.

He snapped back and started to take deep breaths.

"It's okay. Everything's okay." He whispered.

"I feel you." I said, smiling weakly at him.

He smiled back.

I then looked down at my lunch and started to eat the tater tots.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered.

"What?" I asked.

"Hm? Oh I just said I needed to use the restroom."

"Oh, okay."

"Be right back."

He got up and walked away.

As he did, I noticed a paper under his lunchbox.

I lifted up his lunchbox and grabbed the paper to see that it was a note.

I unfolded it, wondering if it was for Rick or if someone left it on the table, and I was surprised to see that it was for me.

'Dear Martyn Little-Wood,

Hello. How're you doing? Who am I kidding, you're probably devastated that your boyfriend died. But do not worry. We have a solution. We can help you. Just trust Rick and what he's doing.

Sincerely,

Well...you'll see me soon :)

I reread the letter, getting more and more nervous.

Rick then sat down, and I looked at him.

"What?" Rick asked.

"I- er- "

"What's that?" Rick tried to look at the letter and I folded it up.

"It's just...a random piece of paper that said something stupid."

"Oh...okay." Rick shrugged, "Well hey, wanna hang out at my place later? We can talk more about...you know, if you want."

I smiled softly, "Sure."

Later (Rick's Perspective)-

"So," I said, sitting down, "Wanna get started on homework or do something else?"

Martyn shrugged.

"Hey...what's up?"

"I- ..." Martyn took out the letter from earlier and showed it to me.

That was the ticket.

The second Martyn mentioned what the letter was about or showed me the letter, we would get teleported.

And sure enough,

We got teleported to the main Watcher.

"Ah, hello there, Martyn."

Martyn's eyes widened and I started to feel guilty.

No, I have to do this.

'But look at him! He's your fucking true love and you're watching him cower in fear. You're tricking him, you're playing him. Controlling him. You are ruining his life. You're a terrible person.'

I shook my head, getting rid of the voices.

But they just got louder.

It got so loud that I couldn't hear what the main Watcher was saying.

All I had to do was act scared, but this time, I actually was scared.

I watched as Martyn nodded and looked fearfully as a giant purple eye formed.

He agreed to being a Watcher. Oh Martyn, your life isn't going to get better.

Martyn walked up to the eye and reached his hand out to it.

He then stopped and pointed to me, asking the main Watcher something.

They both looked at me and the main Watcher laughed before comforting Martyn.

Martyn bit his lip and reached out his hand again.

Purple light started to surround his arm and reached out to grab him and pull him in.

"NO!" I shouted.

Martyn stopped and turned to me.

I finally regained control of myself, but I knew that I was glitching by the look on Martyn's face.

"Rick? What's going on? What's wrong?"

Martyn ran over to me and kneeled down.

"Rick? What's wrong?"

I felt my face heat up and I looked up at the main Watcher, who was death staring me.

"You can't do this." I said shakily.

I picked myself up and started running.

I then snapped and teleported away.
