Pj POV
Mom went to her room after getting home from a battle and not even a minute later we hear a bloodcurdling scream that wakes Gradient.
She runs downstairs crying and tells us to get to Uncle Geno.
We do and he's worried as well. Goth tried distracting us by playing video games. Gradient wasn't having it though. He's a mess without mom.
I wonder what happened. Eh. It'll probably be fine. Uncle Reaper looked in the room and saw us.
He had pity and sadness in his eye.
That can't be good.
Gradient was a nervous reck, scratching at his arms, shaking, rocking back and fourth.
I hugged my brother and stoped him from scratching.
"Dude, you know you can't do that. That causes bleeding." I said.
"Pj... i-i have a really bad f-feeling." He said.
"We'll be fine. Everything is ok." I told him.
"...I want mama." He cried.
Goth and I were calming him down when Uncle Geno told us to fallow him.
He took us to Dream and Blue. What? Goth stayed with us.
Gradient POV
Oh jeez. Why here? Mama isn't here. Where's mama!? Where's dad...? Actually I haven't seen him all day.
Oh... oh stars he... oh no.
We got to play with their son. Mama had drawn him and dad had helped her bring him to life with a lot of coding and stuff.
Dream and Blue names him Palette. (I know Palette is a Drink ship child but for this story this is his roll.) he's a decent kid.
To loud for me though. The next day mama picked us up. Her eyes were grey, she looked tired and as if she'd been crying.
"Boys... I-I need to talk to you." She said.
She took us home. Uncle Geno and Uncle Fresh were there. Thank god he's not wearing that jacket. It hurts my eyes.
Mama sat in between us.
"Pj, Gradient... y-your father is... dead." She said. "I don't think... I don't think you're ready to know why yet." She started crying again.
Uncle Geno started crying to. I was having trouble comprehending this. He's... dead?
Pj angrily went to our room and slammed the door. Uncle Fresh went after him.
The reality of this situation hit me hard. I immediately started sobbing. Mama hugged me tightly as she cried to.
Uncle Reaper tried comforting Uncle Geno. No! I'm thirteen! Dad isn't supposed to be dead!
He can't be gone! No! I-I refuse to believe it. I went searching all over the house. Everywhere with could think of.
He's not anywhere! No. He's gotta be somewhere! I just have to keep looking! Maybe he's in another au!
