Of Love and Death Pt 2

For a moment, all Shu could see was an explosion of light, until he was let go by Gerald, causing him to fall to the ground.

As his vision slowly cleared from the bright light, Shu was surprised to find he could see just fine, despite it being nighttime. It was like the sun had come out.

"W-what manner of -h-h-how the hell...screw it, RUN!" Gerald stuttered out, much to Shu's confusion.

What was he talking about? What was so terrifying? Ah well, it wasn't Shu's problem right now.

Standing up quickly, Shu ran to Valt, he was quite a few feet from his friend when Valt stirred, forcing himself up on his hands. A groan escaped Shu's blue-haired friend.

Shu came to a stop in his running. It was odd, something was telling him he shouldn't get too close to his friend.

"Valt!" He said, fear for Valt and relief that his friend was not dead both mixed into his voice.

"Yea-oh," Valt said, his voice getting quite.

"Are you O.K.?" Shu asked, tilting his head at Valt.

His hair hung to the side, and, if the circumstances were different, Valt probably would have smiled at the sight of his friend and crush being so worried about him.

Valt swallowed a bit, doing his best not to move suddenly.

Even with way too much adrenaline and whatever other chemicals coursing through his body right now, he understood that his head was not okay.

Valt placed a hand on the back of his head, and, yeah, that was blood. He pressed his hand against his head, trying to contain the bleeding.

"Umm...," Valt said.

It was a bit surprising how calm Valt was, considering what had just happened.

I mean, head injuries and getting attacked often make you panic. Oh, and the fact that Shu was on fire.

That should probably have been making Valt freak out more than he was.

"Yeah, I'm good," Valt reassured, "I mean, I'm bleeding from my head, so I should probably call someone in a second, but fine."

Shu sighed. "That does not sound fine, Valt," Shu muttered.

Valt nodded a bit at that, and opened up his mouth to say something, only to get cut off by...

VALT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE BLEEDING FROM YOUR HEAD? Valtryek shouted in Valt's head.

Valt sighed. "I'm fine, Valtryek," he said quietly.

"Thanks for worrying, though." Then, he remembered what he had been about to say.

Valt spoke calmly, in part because he was calm, in part because he didn't want to worry Shu.

"Oh, Shu, you're on fire. Do you know what's up with that?"

Shu frowned at his friend, his brow furrowing a bit. Maybe Valt wasn't as fine as he thought he was.

Him, on fire? Shu sighed, rolling his eyes, he spoke "Valt, I'm not on fi-"

Shu cut off as he looked down at himself to see an aura of flames surrounding him.

Violet danced around him with specks of white and indigo in the mix as well.

Shu jumped backward, some silly part of his head seemed to think that the action would help his escape whatever the hell was happening.

What the hell, what the hell, what the hell? Shu practically screamed in his thought's.

This was not happening. There was no logical reason why this was happening.
