Warning:..
The group all looked at Tommy very carefully seeing his fear, sensing his fear, tasting the fear in the air around them. This world was a hellish one and fear and the lack of trust that came with it was the norm, who and who couldn't you trust, who'll help you survive and who'll stab you in the back. Trusting something meant life and death, and trusting a group of strangers with strange abilities could end with blood being drawn and your flesh consumed by the ferals.
Tommy had to be careful, he had to play his cards right or he'll die in this world sooner then expected, he carefully kept his eyes low as the sweat dripped from his face as he could feel many eyes watching him, Tommy glared to his left seeing the tallest feral looking him up and down eyeing him as if he were a fresh meaty dinner that would spew a delicious red sap with every bite torn from his body. Tommy stepped away moving closer to the more peaceful looking members of the group and avoiding the ones that looked like they would kill somebody in a heartbeat, those being Dream, Paralysis, Techno, Skeppy, and Mega as they are the lethal ones out of the group, Techno with his need for sacrificing innocent lives, Skeppy with his large flesh tearing claws made out of a blue crystal like material, Mega with his keen eye and quickly reflexes to shot somebody in the head with any ranged weapon, and last but not least Dream and Paralysis with there bloodthirsty hunger and need of consuming flesh and hearts, a killer duo you don't want to run into.
Tommy knew what he witnessed, knowing that it could easily be his chest being torn into by the claws of a madman and his feral companion, but this madman seemed to control his blood thirst most of not all the time while his companion couldn't and had to kill everything and drink its blood or eat its organs if given the opportunity to, the madman needed to control his companion a little bit more before someone in this team loses a life to it, but Tommy didn't know someone had already fallen to the hands of the beast. Tommy soon looked up hearing a conversation going on between the madman and the man wearing the strange sunglasses.
Tommy only listened to the conversation carefully and his heart sank into his gut as he heard the two speak of eating hearts and sharing the raw heart with one another, Tommy glared at Paralysis seeing him laugh at the conversation as he moved himself into the conversation saying that "there was always another heart to eat" Tommy didn't like that, he was the new guy, the other heart to eat. Tommy swore he will stab or shot anybody that tried ripping his heart out of his body, he just need to keep his eyes of the feral duo or use somebody as a meat shield to protect himself from danger, only if Tommy's friends where here then he'll be safe, but they where nowhere to been seen which made dreadful thoughts take over him.
"Hey you doing alright, you're body is shaking like crazy." Bad said noticing the slightest of shakes in Tommy's body, before reading his body language seeing how closed off he was, trying to make himself slightly smaller to avoid the hungered gazes of the two ferals within the team.
"Oh me, I'm fine, so very fine." Tommy hissed through his teeth as his tongue laced with sarcasm which Paralysis and Dream had noticed, Tommy looked at the duo and backed off seeing a mix of emotions in Dream's face but evil and vile emotion in Paralysis' eye that peered through his mask.
"I wonder what fresh sarcasm tastes like on a human~" Paralysis hummed as he stared down Tommy watching him quiver before stopping to make himself look stronger reaching for the gun to his side.
"I wouldn't do that if I where you, pointing an weapon at Paralysis is going to be the last thing you'll see." A6d said getting Tommy to lower his hand away from the gun.
"Why? What makes you say that." Tommy spoke as he glared at A6d who look so calm in the eyes of danger.
"I'm just saying, Paralysis gets a little pissed off when he senses danger. Drawing a gun on him will make him sense that you are dangerous to be kept alive, oh and another thing to note is that Paralysis doesn't spare anyone when enraged. Trust me you don't want to piss him off" A6d whispered into Tommy's ear just so Bad would yell at him for cursing, but A6d did point out a good few things, angering Paralysis is like a plead for death, "so if I where you, I wouldn't be taking risky moves that can get you killed, Tommy" A6d said as he backed off from Tommy giving him space.
A risky move, Tommy always was risky with every move he made, like the time he was trying to save his friends from the facility members by sneaking around and listening to them just to find his friends, he could bare the screams of people that where tortured in the laboratory. Tommy hoped he gave enough time for his friends to escape but now he was separated from them and with these strangers. His trust was wavering as Tommy felt confident, this world drove him mad when it came to decision making. Kill and survive or be killed and die was the number one rule here, then there was you trust someone and you might die, trust somebody you might live, don't trust anybody you might die, or don't trust anybody and live. What would be the right decision and that what Tommy thought of. He already almost was killed by that strange creature until Dream and Paralysis showed up, but Dream already showed himself to be violent and dangerous.
"It's a risk I'm willing to take, we are at war are we not." Tommy spoke catching almost everyone's attention when he spoke of war.
"War? What war? The wars are over." Spifey said as he looked at Tommy carefully watching him.
"Not those wars, the war of us low lives are in right now. Aren't we fighting the higher ups known as the facility or is this just grudges held against each other and its causing problems for everyone trying to make a living in this fucking world. This place has already gone to shit thanks to those bastards!" Tommy barked as he looked at the group.
"Language you muffin head!" Bad barked at Tommy but he shook his head as he continued to talk.
"This war between us and the facility has fucked over so many people, God some traders even got snatched up thanks to the fucking facility people or whatever the fuck there called. I'm sick of them. I don't even know where my friends are because of them! God they're probably wondering the world just looking for me." Tommy hissed as he looked at Bad seeing Skeppy slightly spike up and growing more defensive.
"And we plan on getting rid of them once and for all." Techno said as he crossed his arms staring at the new guy intensely not taking his eyes off him.
"How many people was in your group before you got separated from them." Tapl asked while staring at the new guy.
"Many...." Tommy responded before crossing his arms, "there was six of us but we lost two due to an encounter with the facility, both where injured badly and we all ran for it trying to make it to safety so we could help our teammates but the facility got to the two as we ran for it, our supplies was low, our ammo was low, We could do anything!" Tommy hissed sounding angered by the thought of the facility members, "I could of fucking saved them! I'm going to fucking kill those facility fuckers if it's the last thing I do." Tommy barked nearly breaking down as he covered his head with his hands an took a few steps away from the group.
George raised his hand stop Bad from yelling at Tommy for cursing since he felt like there was no need to scream out when this situation with Tommy and his group occurred. Dream watched Tommy closely just to keep an eye on him as he watched the new guy pace around. Paralysis' flicked his tails side to side as he watched Tommy walk around and ramble before stopping as he dropped to his knees hiding his head and face as his body shook.
~~~~~~
"RUN! I said fucking run!" A voiced yelled as the sound of thundering footsteps slammed into the concrete grounds as gunfire rang out through the alley way. The six group members ran as fast as they could even though two of them struggled even with the help of the others. The group looked up seeing a wall, one of the group members ran over climbing up on the garbage bin and leaping up slapping their hands down on a ledge using all there upper body strength to pull themself up before offer and hand to the others.
"Hurry!" The person yelled taking someone's hand pulling them up onto the building with them. The two on the building offer there hands pulling up two more people before looking back at there injured friends reaching there hands out to them to pull them up. Tommy reached his hand out but his grasped slipped away from another hand as blood shot up onto his face as hound like creature tackled and tore open the injured friends killing them on spot.
"You fuckers! I'm going to kill you all! I'm going to rip you to shreads!" Tommy screamed before getting dragged back by his three remaining friends, he struggled out of there grasp but he couldn't, he fought so hard to escape before breaking down as his friends pulled him away from the ledge before he got any ideas on jumping down to fight the hounds.
"Tommy, calm down...." the voice tried saying but Tommy screeched at the voice that spoke to him, "CALM DOWN, HOW THE HELL I'M I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN, OUR FRIENDS ARE FUCKING DEAD!" He screamed before having a hand slapped over his mouth to shut him up.
"We need to leave, now Tommy." The voice hissed the the three other friends brought Tommy to his feet and a dragged him along, they had to run, there was no time to stick around any longer because once the hounds are done feasting they'll be next.
~~~~~~
"Is everything alright?" Sapnap asked gently placing his hand of Tommy's back feeling him quivering beneath it as he struggled to stay calm even though tears cut down his face like a river.
"No! Why would everything be alright, my fucking friends where killed in front of me!" Tommy barked getting Sapnap to recoil.
"We'll get our revenge. Don't worry." Dream said as Tommy looked at him, "do you remember where your friends went?"
"I think they ran off to the west....but I'm not sure, I couldn't see as smoke blinded me as a ran off in a random direction, that's when that creature ran after me and attacked leaving me weak until you two showed up." Tommy said staring up at Paralysis and Dream before hiding his head as the phantoms dove at him landing on his back and tugging on the fabric.
Dream hissed slightly getting the phantoms to stop and look up at him as they both held a strand of hair in there jaws, Dream held his arm out as the phantoms flew to it, all he wanted was to get a closer look at the strand of hair the phantoms held. He saw that it had an orange tint to it and it reminded him of something, it reminded him of a fox.
"Find them" Dream spoke as he looked at the phantoms seeing them take off into the skies that glimmered with stars. Dream looked at Tommy and he spoke once more "the phantoms will guide them."
Tommy just nodded his head and looked away hopping his friends where alive, he wanted to see his friends again even if it's only been a day, Tommy looked to the skies watching the phantoms soar though them like vultures which did worry Tommy just a little bit. Dream walked away from the group going to the willow tree as he was followed by Paralysis.
"So more recruits?" Paralysis questioned as he looked at Dream.
"I hope so, we're all fighting the same battle, so why team up and build this army and fight as one...its us against them, we cannot let them win this war even of it leaves us bleeding and broken." Dream spoke putting his arms behind his back as he watched the phantoms go on there journey to find these people Tommy where looking for.
~~~~~~
It became dawn as the phantoms took to the shadows of trees following something, following a group of people, following three people to be exact. The three where oblivious to the creatures of the night that stalked them. The three seemed to argue with one another bringing up a familiar voice that the phantoms could recognize with ease, Tommy, is what was said. The phantoms knew they'd found the right people, but how would they get the three to follow them without being attacked.
"Its no use! We're lost, fucking hell where did Tommy run off to now, he's probably dead knowing his antics." A voice flipped out throwing there arms open jostling the two extremely large mutated bees on his shoulders as the group walked the unmarked path.
"Just, calm down, we'll find him again, I promise." The secondary voice said as he looked at the 'beekeeper'.
"At this rate I don't think we will, he could be dead is all I'm saying, you know the dangers of this world, you know the hell that lives around us." The third voice spoke as their ears pointed back seeming annoyed or just sad by the other lost of a friend.
As the three continued to speak the phantoms formed an idea in their heads seeing two of the three group members wore hats, an easy steal and an easy follow, the phantoms even sprung up from the shadows snatching the hats and taking off hearing the group yell at them. The phantoms only flew into a diffrent direction guiding the three group members that chased them down, the phantoms knew there plan was successful as they clung to the hats with there sharp talons as they bobbed and weaved through the trees as the sound of rushing footsteps followed behind them. These three where in for a big surprise once they made it to the new destination by force of following the creature of the night.
They'll be reunited with their lost friend eventually.
