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

~Ink's POV~

I... ran away from her. I can't believe I just did that. She's going to be so mad at me.

"You stupid son of a bitch." Blade commented, unhelpfully. I ignored her and looked all around the area, trying to figure out where I ended up. I didn't think of where I was going, so I could be pretty much anywhere.

It looked like an alleyway in between two shops, a very old one at that. There were vines crawling on the sides, grass poking from the cracks in the pavement, plenty of cobwebs, and it was pretty dark. At least no body else seemed to be here.

I sighed to myself and leaned against the cracked wall, I needed to calm down before going back to apologize. How could I even begin to say sorry?

"There's no way she's going to forgive you. You know that. How could she forgive someone as heartless as you? You just left her, standing there all by herself, with no idea where you are. She is going to hate you." Blade hissed, getting louder and louder the more she spoke. Her ghostly figure was becoming more solid by the minute.

I pressed my hands into my face, trying to block out her words. But they kept stabbing me, for I had no shield.

"Just face it. You never deserved her anyway. You're worthless, and she needs better. I bet she's talking shit about you to her parents right now."

I tried to ignore her, and decided to walk further into the alley. I couldn't be seen by anybody. There were a lot of scattered items around, which made me feel a little more uneasy than before. I hope someone didn't try to mug me, not like they would be successful anyway.

"Looks like she'll have to go to some other guy for support since you left her. Now let's think, who else is she close with? Oh right, Nightmare. I wouldn't be surprised if she went crying to him right now, and he sweeps her off her feet. I bet he would be a much better boyfriend than you could ever be. You pathetic asshole."

Her words stung like a bee's sting after you accidentally got near their nest. I had reached the end of the alleyway, it was extremely dark down here. Only someone with really good vision would be able to see me down here, and it seemed like no body else came down here.

"Or maybe she could be in danger. You remember Impulse telling you about Cross? Maybe he's been waiting for an opportunity just like this so he can get her. She could be dead and it would be all your fault. All because you're too much of a fucking coward, Ink. She's probably in agony right now and you're here- crying?"

She was correct. I had slumped against the worn and cracked wall and begun to sob. I couldn't handle her abuse anymore. So, for the first time since Y/n disappeared, I cried. I could feel the cold inky black tears slip from the edges of my eyesockets, before falling onto the mossy concrete.

In my blurry vision, I could see Blade's form become less solid than before. She looked... shocked. She has never once been able to get to me this badly.

'I hope you're happy' I thought, knowing she would be able to hear me regardless. It was better than trying to talk aloud to what everybody else would see as nobody.

"I- I'm not. Ink, I didn't- I-" She seemed to be at a lost for words for once in her life. I could feel her presence start to waver, like she was trying to escape. Very ironic since that was exactly what she was abusing me for doing.

'You didn't what?' I pried her in my head, what was she trying to say? Surely she wasn't feeling bad for making me feel bad. She's being doing that for 5 years straight.

"I didn't- didn't mean for you to- forget it. Why do you care? You only care about yourself. That's why you teleported away." She once again was back in character. It was like she was putting on just an act. A very good one, at that.

I decided not to respond, I would be met with the same wall she always put up no matter what I said. I just wish I could see into her mind as easily as she could see into mine. There probably is a way, but I need to first think of a plan to apologize to Y/n.

~Y/n's POV~

That son of a bitch just teleported away from me.

I was still staring at where he was standing in pure disbelief. I really can't believe he did that. It's not like him in the slightest, usually he would just talk to me about his problems even if he was hesitant.

I eventually was able to arrange my scattered thoughts into a puzzle with several pieces missing. Ink had been talking to somebody that wasn't there or I just wasn't able to see and he freaked the hell out when I tried to confront him. What did this mean? What was he hiding from me?

I was starting to get a headache so I went downstairs to help distract my thoughts. My parents were discussing something but stopped when they saw me coming down with a probably confused expression.

"Hon? Is everything alright?" My dad asked, his brows furrowed with concern.

"Yea... I just got a headache, it sometimes happens after I use magic." I somewhat lied. It was true that I got headaches after performing magic but that wasn't what was bugging me right now.

"Is it alright if I go for a walk and get some air for a bit? It usually helps." I added before they could comment, I really needed out of here for even a minute.

"Of course, honey. Take as much time as you need." Mom responded, looking at me concernedly as well.

"I won't be long!" I exclaimed as I quickly shut the front door behind me. I took a deep breath of fresh air and wasted no time. I needed to vent to somebody, but I had no clue how to call anybody that was in a different universe.

I had a small idea but I would have to get away from here, I didn't really wanna be seen right now. I started to walk along the sidewalk, mainly looking at the ground. It was a nice day out, birds were sing- I think you get the picture.

I wasn't sure how long I've been walking for, I probably should've brought my phone. All I really know was I was a long ways from home, at least it felt like it. I hardly recognized this part of town, I think we may of stopped here for some gas during a road trip. That gas station looked awfully familiar.

Another thing I knew was no body was around, except maybe some poor underpaid cashier who was regretting their life choices in the convenience store attached to the gas station.

My stomach rumbled so I figured I could grab a snack from there, only to realize I didn't bring any money. I looked back and forth to really make sure no body was around. I didn't see a single soul except for my own.

It shimmered under the sunlight, it's glow only barely noticable. I brushed the side of it that was slightly glitching, and felt myself glitch a little as well. I knew that I had gotten his attention. That was the good thing about sharing SOULs.

"Error?" I called out quietly into the empty street. I'm not sure if this would actually work but it was worth a shot. In the VOID I would occasionally mess around with my SOUL, and every time I would touch along the glitchy side I felt a twinge inside me. Like my SOUL was trying to call out to somebody who was so close but just too far.

Nothing seemed to happen for a few seconds, maybe I was wrong and that's not how this worked at all. I really needed to learn more about SOULs and-

A staticky portal suddenly emerged from the air, and the familiar face I was trying to call came through it. He looked awfully confused until he saw me standing there with my SOUL out.

"You rang?"
