I bleed for you ~A sequel to I bleed Red | An Ink x Reader~

Chapter Twenty Seven: Treatment

"How is Nightmare?"

I... wasn't expecting that. This guy was full of surprises. What I was expecting was him to ask about Ink or something. But he was asking about the wellbeing of Night?

"He's... fine. Why do you ask?"

Cross didn't answer this time. He simply sat up off the bed and left the room without another word. What a strange skeleton...

~~~

I was feeling like shit.

After I had eaten the food on the tray I had an incredibly nauseous feeling in my stomach. I barely had made it to the toilet before I puked my brains out.

It had been so long since I've been sick (if you ignored the time after I saw Ink murder Blade) and I certainly hadn't missed it. My throat burned after I finished regurgitating all the food I had ever eaten in my life (I know I'm being dramatic, cut me some slack). Unfortunately for me, I had drank all the water that had been given to me.

I attempted to stand up to reach the sink to get some water but my knees felt too weak. I wouldn't be able to get up without falling back down. Fuck, what do I do?

I remembered something about Cross telling me that I could ask somebody outside my door if I needed anything. There was no way I could reach all the way there by crawling. Do I just wait until Cross comes back? I didn't know how long that would be.

I groaned and flopped to the tiled floor. I felt like a beached whale just waiting to die. Shut up and let me be dramatic. I wish Ink was here, he'd treat me so well right now.

I decided to pull out my SOUL at the thought of Ink. I needed to reassure him again. I wasn't paying much attention to my SOUL because of my discomfort so I didn't realize that there was something weird going on with it. I brushed the side of it and felt a shockwave coarse through me at the feeling. Strange, it wasn't usually that bad.

I suddenly heard the door burst open. It was Cross and he was looking all around the bedroom, presumably looking for me. He finally noticed me on the ground of the bathroom when I groaned loudly.

He quickly walked over to me and bent down to be somewhat at my level. "What happened? The magic sensors in this room went off."

"I have no fuckin' clue, I was just over here puking my life essence out." I gestured to the toilet as if I needed to prove myself. I saw the bone around Cross' nose scrunch up as he glanced at it. He shook his head and helped me up into a sitting position.

"Are you alright?"

"Take a wild guess."

Cross sighed loudly and put my arm around his shoulders before putting his arm around my midsection. He helped me get into a standing position even if my knees were wobbly. We slowly made our way to the bed before he let me collapse on it. This was much better than the floor.

"Do you know what caused your vomiting?" Cross asked as his eye lit up. I tensed but quickly untensed when I heard the toilet flush on it's own and his eye went back to normal.

"It happened right after I ate so..."

"It's monster food so it shouldn't of upset your stomach in any way. Unless Killer directly disobeyed me about slipping something into your food. I'll go 'talk' with him." Cross was about to leave before he turned back to me, "I'll get you something for your stomach as well." He turned to leave but I called out to him before he could.
