Whumpee and Caretaker crouch behind the safety of a wall, both panting and sweaty. Things have gone quiet for now, but there’s no doubt that the calm will end as soon as their attackers find them.
“We can do this,” Caretaker gasps. They know it’s a little too optimistic when they’re so heavily outnumbered, but optimism is all they have left. Optimism and Whumpee. “We’re together.”
“Caretaker…”
“We’ll be okay as long as we’re together.”
“Caretaker.”
Caretaker looks up at Whumpee. There’s a grave look on their face as they lean heavily against the wall.
Something’s wrong.
“What? What is it?”
“I’m sorry.” Whumpee sounds like they’re on the verge of tears. “Caretaker… I’m so sorry.”
“Whumpee, you’re scaring me.”
Whumpee moves their hands from their stomach, revealing a mess of blood staining their palms.
Caretaker’s heart sinks. “What…”
“I didn’t want to tell you. Didn’t want to… To stress you out.”
“Well I’m fucking stressed out now!”
Whumpee flinches, and Caretaker’s face falls.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to yell. Let me see.” They move in close, examining the wound.
It’s bad. So bad that they can’t comprehend how Whumpee managed to hide it for so long. It must be agony. “You…” Caretaker blinks back tears. “You’ll be okay, okay? We can get through this.”
Whumpee gives a weak smile. Their eyes have gone unfocused, their skin pale and clammy. “Keep saying that? Please?”
Caretaker takes their hand, openly crying now. “You’re okay,” they sob. “I’m here. You’re not alone.”
