One Day- OC Angst Drabble

OCs: Ruffles, Karija, Celia, Finnian

TW: Implied death, grief, graphic depictions of gore,guts and blood, overthinking, anxiety

Summary: It was only yesterday since, that happened. No one seems to forget. All but one, who doesn't even know what happened.

One day since he died.

One day since he litarally split open

One day since he was left there, ripped open from the inside, guts and blood spilling.

Wake up. He's not coming back. It's your fault for leaving him there. You could've saved him. But no. You left him there to die. To be split open.

It's your fault, Karija. Wake up.

He's gone and it's all your fault.

"Okay Okay, he's not dead, I told you he weren't dead, Ruffles. I told you, just fainted."

Celia's voice. That's Celia. She's not gone. Neither is Ruffles. But Finnian. What happened to him? He passed out before I'd even opened my mouth. Is he OK?

"Ruffles, keep an eye on him," Celia said. "I'm off to check on Finn. Stay here. Anything he tells you, you tell me," she walked over to the stairs before swiftly ascending them.

Finnian. What happened to him? Clearly alive. He's not dead. Stop telling me he's dead

Karija jolted himself awake, startling Ruffles for a second before realising what happened.

"You awake?" He asked, a mixture of relief, concern and worry gleaming in his eyes, "You ok? No faint?"

"Yeah-yeah I'm fine I'm fine, Ruffles, I'm fine, it's just...uhhh...that..." he trailed off, remembering why he was here. Why it felt so empty. The image stuck to his head like glue.

"Yes, I know what happen. Very sorry for that. We're all upset. Apart from Finn-"

"Finnian? Why Finn? Is he okay? What happened to him?" Now he was remembering. Finn had passed out before Karija had even told the news. Unless he can hear while unconcious he doesn't know what happened.

He doesn't know what happened.

He won't know why everyone's so down. He won't know what's happening. He won't know about Affy, unless Celia tells him.

"Finnian's alright. No worry. Just come down with something."

Relief.

Stop telling me he's dead.

"How long will it take for him to get better?" Stop telling me he's dead

"Don't know what it is yet. Potential fever. Not a hundred percent sure yet. We'll find out soon hopefully," Ruffles smiled. He was really trying to keep Karija from remembering what had happened. To stop the spiral. The panic.

"D'ya think it's linked up to the darts or something else?" Karija asked.

"I personally think it was the encounter with Astrisx or The Puppeter. Those definitely left a mark on him. He's just an ordinary guy. Not some superhuman with magic."

Karija sighed. Ever since that Elder Magic spike, the encounters with Astrisx, The Puppeter, The Elders, everything had gone downhill. It started with Astrisx, ended with yesterday.

"Will Finn ever know what happened?" he questioned.

"I don't know, Kari. Only if Celia tells him. We can't. He believes her more than us." Ruffles replied with a subtle shake of his head.

"One day, my friend one day, that friend you so proudly flaunt will fall within your sight. And it'll all be your fault, mark me." Asterisk had said.

"One day, all of you, listen. One day, one of you will die a brutal, gruesome death while another one suffers with the guilt of the cause of it." The Puppeter had warned, "Best stay away from the forests. You seem squeamish."

"Your Day of Doom will certainly be arriving shortly. Your karma from disturbing the birth of a Newling and absorbing it's magic. You hold that power, Karija. However long it takes you to figure it out will decide his fate." The Elders had said.

How could he not figure it out. They were warning them all from the very start.

And it'll all be your fault, mark me

And it was.

Asterisk was right. All of three of them were warning both of them.

Now he was wondering how many else of them had been right aswell.

This is Part 1. Part 2 is in the works.
