No Eye Contact (Kid Icarus / Pitcest / Brighter Day)

I felt hands all over me. Everything was dark and painful. My stomach was like a pit filled with lava and my head was pulsating. My bones ached and my body was stiff.

I do not know what happened, nor what it caused it. All I know is that I blacked out after taking the pills. Even if it was quite obvious, I could not find the answer. I wanted to get up but pain rushed through my body like a lightning bolt.

I recovered my consciousness until it was crystal clear, but I could not find myself to open my eyelids. I struggled to open them but they were glued shut. Not only I felt pain, I felt very exhausted for unknown reason. I gave up and allowed my ears register what was happening in the dark surrounding.

All I could hear was shuffling of what it seemed like bed sheets. Again, I felt shaky hands on me. I had no clue who or what was that but the first thing that came in mind was Dark Pit. He must of have seen that demonic entity and scared it away.

It must of have been that. Dark Pit is a very powerful and immortal being. And because of his directives, he must protect me at all cost. I really appreciate what he does for me, though.

After a few minutes of frantic contact, I felt a hand on my head. I opened my mouth by an inch and a quiet gasp escaped my lips. I still had the struggle to open my eyes but the soft, soothing petting made me calm myself down. I leaned my head against the hand and hissed softly.

The pain was still there but I was busy concentrating on the petting. I let out a sigh through my nose as I slowly drifted to slumber. Then, a hush pulled away the sleep. At that instant, I knew it was Dark Pit.

After struggling, I finally could open my eyes but the eyelids were heavy and my vision was blurred out. I looked to my side and saw the blurry silhouette of Dark Pit, kneeled down on the floor. I could not see his face clearly, but the body twitch showed that he was relieved I was awake. Who knows for how long he has been there, waiting patiently for me to wake up.

"You are awake. Are you alright? I heard you scream and you were plainly curled up on the floor."

I opened my mouth to answer but I felt my vocal cords gone. I could not speak nor make any sound, but only sigh and gasp. I shook my head slowly and pain wrapped around my neck. I felt my face tense up as I internally groaned.

"The room's Monolith is not enough for you."

After he said that, he stood up and flew over me. He sat down besides me and took the Monolith under the pillow. He held it and set it in between my chest and stomach. It was a heavy but it did not bother. I moaned in my throat as I tried to move my arm.

My body ached so much, it was like lots of needles were picking deep through my skin on to my bones. I said I would regret my actions, and indeed, I do. Why do I have to take that Hell of a pill?

Are the people behind this trying to kill me? I do not even want to know anything anymore. My head was like it was about to explode, so it was not worth thinking. My brain might as well explode and I would be dead, for sure.

I looked forward to my end, though. If I was not going to successfully escape this facility, or Hell itself, I might as well end it at a bad end. I am sure that I will never escape. This place is heavily guarded with copies of Dark Pit. Might as well, cameras are installed in the hallways that seem to be endless.

While the Monolith did it’s job, my vision slowly got clear. I looked at Dark Pit, whose face showed a concerned look. He was, indeed, very worried for me and it is my fault by all means. After a little while, my body did not ached that much but there were signs of pain here and there.

“Feeling better now, 209?”

“Y-Yes… Just a little pain on the back…”

It was true, my whole spine hurt as well. I moved slightly and hissed. I closed my eyes and laid back against the pillow. I did not even felt the need to get up anyway.
