Ricardo
He felt himself almost become lost in the daydream, thoughts that he had happily imagined to himself over and over again. A warm, hopeful future. Suddenly, the tendrils of fog tightened around Ricardo, causing him to cry out; the daydream ripped itself to shreds and was only replaced by pain. "V-Vincent, please," he whispered weakly. "You're hurting me."
Viola
"Then we need to run!" She pulled him out of the way just as the first car fell from the sky, spraying shards of broken glass behind them.

Perfect Vincent
92
A strange look came over Vincent's face. One almost of concern. But it vanished quickly, replaced by that sickly sweet smile. "I'm sorry, my sweet Ricardo, I really am, but I can't let you get away. Your destiny lies here with me. We'll be happy together for the rest of our lives. Don't you want that?"

Moby
93
Moby jumped at the sound of the crash beside them. Monster-Viola was closing in, and fast. They were almost to the city limits. They just had to make it a little further...

Ricardo
Ricardo could only cry out in response as the tendrils of fog compressed him further, a series of sickly cracks from his ribs echoing through the silent world. Despite the tight hold on him, he shook all over and tears dripped from his eyes. "Vincent, please, Vincent, I love you, please, let me go, please, it hurts, please..."
Viola
Viola gasped as another car's shadow passed overhead. She only had time enough to scream and push Moby out of the way before it landed on her with a deadly screech, the shatter of glass echoing across the abandoned buildings.
"RUN!"

Perfect Vincent
94
The strange look passed over his face again and the tendrils loosened considerably. A mere moment later, the fog resumed its hold on Ricardo. "What are you doing?" Vincent snarled at nobody, beginning to twitch violently. He managed to plaster on his smile again, though it was more forced and hostile this time. "I can't let you go," he said, desperation and hysteria edging his voice. "You need to stay with me. Just like we always wanted. Stay, Ricardo. Please stay."

Moby
95
"Viola! No, I can't!" he glanced back and forth between her, the tall buildings marking the city, and the monster chasing them. "I can't leave you or she'll kill you! And then I won't have you to be happy with..." Tears were streaming down his cheeks again as he knelt beside the car, trying desperately to free her.

Ricardo
"Please let me go," he cried out, writhing and struggling in his hold. "I love you, I love you, just please let me go! If you love me, you'll let me go!" Searing pain wracked his voice, tears made it broken and gasping. It was true-- he did love Vincent, even through the burning in his ribs, he loved Vincent. But the black spots in his vision were becoming too much, the tendrils cutting into his skin became too much.

Perfect Viola
The monstrous Viola ran after Vincent, switching violently between her shadowy and her normal form. "You can be happy with me, Vincent," she snarled happily, eyes wide. "She ruined our fun, but she's dead now! You can stay with me!"

Perfect Vincent
96
Vincent screamed, putting his hands to his ears and sinking to the ground in agony. "No!" The yell was directed at both Ricardo and himself, but it seemed to trigger something inside of Vincent. His whole body shuddered. "No, you can't escape!" His voice was becoming weaker and weaker each time he spoke. "You can't... You can't break free. I caught you and now you're mine. I can't let you go just like that." By now, Vincent's words were not much above a whimper. After a minute of silence, he burst into sobs. The tendrils disappeared completely and the fog lightened to an acceptable density for a morning by the lake.

"It's not true! It can't be true! Viola can't be dead!" Moby cried, giving up trying to get the car off of her. "It's all your fault! I hate you!" he screamed. "I'll never be happy with you! Just kill me too and get it over with!"

The tendrils disappeared completely and the fog lightened to an acceptable density for a morning by the lake. Ricardo gasped as he was dropped, hitting the floor with a groan. He raised a shaky hand, massaging his broken rips and flinching. His arms had been marked bright, bloody red where the tendrils had held him. Carefully, he gulped down breaths of air, coughing violently. |

Just kill me too and get it over with!" Screeching, the monster's hands formed shadowy black whips, shooting towards Moby. "You loved her, didn't you?" she taunted, teeth becoming needle-like and far too large for her mouth. "She was your Viola, your special Viola, and you loved her too much to want me!" |

Vincent
98
"I'm sorry, Ricardo..." he blubbered. "I'm so sorry... I-I tried to stop, but..." Vincent began crying harder and was unable to continue. He wanted to reach out to his friend and make sure he was okay, but after what had happened, Vincent wasn't sure Ricardo would even let him get close.

Ricardo
"Help... please," was all he could gasp, shaking uncontrollably. The pain seared through his body, from bloody wrists and legs to crushed ribcage to the pounding in his skull. "I... hurt..."

99
"You're not real! I know you're not real! You're just a sad impostor and that's all you'll ever be!" Moby's voice shook with anger and grief. He turned his attention back to the real Viola's body, reaching under the car to grasp her hand. "You'll never be like her, so why would I bother spending my days with you?"

The monster screamed, the sound bloodcurdling as her tendrils shot out-- aiming to impale Moby right through the heart.

Vincent
100
He looked up in vague surprise, hesitating for only a moment before taking Ricardo into his arms gently. Vincent was careful not to touch his chest as he stood the Gryffindor up. "D-don't worry... We'll get you to the hospital wing. You'll be okay, Ricardo. I promise. It's all over now. I promise."

Ricardo
"What happened to you, Vincent?" his voice was weak as he searched the Gryffindor's eyes, tears streaming down his own. "What did you mean by... by 'you caught me?' Is that all I am to you? Like... like a fish you caught in a lake? Some trinket you found?"

36: Nova "Why not?" Nova agreed, with a small smile. "You always have good ideas. Let's go."
87Cesar gave her a triumphant look and led the way dow the street. The park was only a few blocks away and would've only taken them about ten minutes to get there, but Cesar walked almost as slow as possible. 37 : Nova "Hey, are you tired already?" Nova teased, nudging him. "You're going so-o-o slow." |

Moby
Moby closed his eyes and waited for death. It was the only option left. What he got instead of instant release was a sharp pain just above where his stomach would be. The monster had missed his heart by mere inches. Moby sighed, as much as it hurt to do so, disappointment flooding through him like the blood that was spilling out over his chest. At least it won't be long before I pass out. Then I won't feel a thing...
