Memories

Chapter 12

Gradient cried out in pain as his body hit the floor, his parent, Ink and Error loomed over him.

"Tch" Ink grumbled as he picked at the young teen by his throat, "so weak". Gradient could feel himself slowly lose awareness as his struggle slowly weakened, why was this his life? He never wanted to live like this. In fear. He never asked for much, only for his parents to love him but that will never happen. Their attention was always on their oldest son, PJ.

"Go to school now you useless child." His father, Error growled as Gradient scrambled out the door with his bags. How was he going to explain his injuries this time? His whole body was covered in cuts and bruises, and his skull had giant crack in it.

Oh well, he'll deal with it later. Gradient stumbles forward as he reached the one place where his parents can't hurt him, Underhigh.

===with Error===

"So the plan is, everyone will be looking for you. So I'll take you to a different Multiverse where there is no balance, one they find out where you are. I'll take you somewhere else."

Error nodded slowly as he took in everything that was shared with him, apparently, there was more multiverses than his own and some of them seemed to have no destroyer, creator, god of negativity, guardian of positivity and balance. Just the through of that made a wave of relief wash over him, no one had to suffer, no one had to go through what he went through, no one had to jump through the void.

"You ready?" Asked the reptilian skeleton that stood next to the destroyer, " ... i'M rEadY".

With those final words, the darkness consumed him taking him to his first destination.

The Naj multiverse.

===with Gradient===

Gradient opened his locker, his eyes covered with a dark shadow. It was the beginning of the year, a new school year. Another year of living with his abusive parents.

"Yo nerd!!"

Number 1 rule of the school, don't ignore the jocks. Especially if the jock is your brother, slowly Gradient turned around to meet his brother. PJ, the leader of the jocks and the number one bully.

"H-hello Broth-" pain exploded through Gradients skull as Paperjam slammed the small skeleton against the open locker, his already broken skull started bleeding as his HP dropped massively. "Don't call me that" hissed the bully as he glared his younger, more pathetic brother down.

"S-sorry PJ..."

Gradient gritted his teeth as his body started to feel weak, he was losing hp fast and if he didn't get help soon, he wasn't going to make it.

Apparently his oblivious stupid brother didn't figure that out as he continue adding more pressure against Gradients skull, the cracks grew and the blood came down heavily as Gradients body began to fail at listening to him. His thoughts were clouded as his eye lights dimmed, was this how it feels like to die? To finally move on to the afterlife?

Soon the pressure that once held him against the cold metal disappeared, "Hey!! Are you ok?? You'll be fine. You'll be fine" something seemed to stab into him as he felt himself gasp, darkness overtook him.
