?Alive but Dead inside? (Eddsworld x Reader)

chapter 13 {aren't you glad?}

"I'm at the mini lab if you need me, knock before coming in Kay?" I told him before climbing upstairs.

Getting to my lab I started working on my cure again. I can't believe it won't work, I'm using the same ingredients what the hell is wrong with it? I thought sighing deeply and started taking out various of dangerous liquids.

Tom's POV

I stared monotonously at the sky as I took a rest inside a broken cafe shop. The chairs weren't much torn and seemed fine so I sat in here for a minute. I had just stopped here for a quick rest and leave after getting everything that can still be used around here and shoving it in my bag.

I dig my hands in my hoodie pocket and felt the cold glass of the cure needle (Y/N) needed. I sighed and took out one. I shouldn't have taken these...but what if I needed it? Damn am I so selfish.
My eyes twitch a bit before letting my eyes close for a moment and held tightly on the needle careful to not break the fragile thing.

"What do you got there Thomas?"

My eyes snapped open to see the one and only shit in my life.

"Surprise to see me, oh you shouldn't have" Tord chuckled leaning on the couch that was in front.

I stood up quickly and pointed my gun on him but after pulling the trigger a click was only heard, the asshole chuckled as he saw I had no bullets in my gun.

"No bullets now Witness? Hah! Like what I always say classic. Stupid. Tom" he teased putting up that shit eating grin as always. "Memories am I right?"

I pulled out a pocket knife instead and tucked in my gun.

"Ahh stabbing me with a knife now? Well aren't I scared, say why don't you say a word instead of letting me blabber, it's quite rude is it not?" He snickered.
"Oh fuck you too commie, what do you want?" I spat glaring at him, ready to stab him on the chest.
"Well you see Thomas, you have something that gain my interest in" he says, sitting down on the sofa. "If you give it to me-"
"Hell no will I give it to you!" I shouted.
"SHUT UP!" he yelled at me "let me fucking finish fuck face, anyway back to what I'm saying, If you give it to me than maybe I could tell you what is missing on (Y/N)'s cure, so what do you say Thomas?" He asked putting up a smirk.

I scoffed and rolled my non existing eyes on him holding my tightly on my knife.

"I don't know-"
"BULLSHIT!" He screamed getting up his chair and glaring at me.

I glared back at him readying my knife. It took a solid moment till he sighed, he sat back down again on the sofa to calm for a bit.

"She's running out of time right?" I didn't even get to answer till he once again spoke "she needs more cure right? But she doesn't know what is missing and kept doing the same thing, yes?"

He chuckled and looked back at me keeping the glare and the frown.

"If you don't hear this she might become like them and you can't do anything about it, you can save her if you give that to me, I know what I meant Thomas, I also have concern for her trust me that's why I'm putting up this offer to you" he explained  "You can kill me, okay, but you know I could bring down (Y/N) with me or should I call her my Girlfriend?" He teases.
"Fuck you" I growled.

Standing up and getting off the seat he then said "If you're still gonna put up with this shit then I better be leaving, you know her time is running out right? She might have one more or maybe the three on your pocket but what if there's none now? Oh wait! What if she leaves cause she doesn't trust you enough now? A shame wouldn't it" He asked turning away from me, but I can still see the motherfucking grin on his face.

My eyes dropped on the floor and thought about it. And even tho it gives me chills he was right, I'm so fucking stupid...

"Wait!" I exclaimed glaring up at him.

He snickered a bit before turning around. I was hesitant yet spoke.

"If-if you knew the ingredients then why didn't you make one yourself?" I asked clutching my knife.
He sighed probably annoyed "do I SERIOUSLY have to answer that? Tom I know what it has but not how to make it, is that to hard to think of?" He insulted "do you want the formula or what?" He asked very irritated.

I flinched and sighed.

"How many do you need?" I asked my voice dropping.
"Two" he answered.
"How do I know your not lying to me?" I asked angrily.
He shoved his hand in his hoodie pocket and pulled out a note "I have the ingredient written here" he said shaking it.

I stared at the paper for a second then sighed I gain in my proper posture and pulled out the two needles in my pocket. He smirked and reached out both his hand one with the paper and one for grabbing the needle, I of course took the paper first and slowly gave him the needles.

"Nice working with you Thomas" Tord stated before dropping a glass ball.

After the ball broke, the glass was spread everywhere, I coughed and tried to breathe in some air only to inhale smoke, it kept filling me, my vision slowly blurred till I slowly passed out from it.

"Bye Witness"
