Chapter Text
Scar was chasing after Pearl, he wasn’t trying to kill her… well maybe only slightly, it’s a death game after all okay! But in the end he just wanted to talk to her, they were the final two, at least a small conversation before a fight to the death would be nice
“Pearl! Pearly Pops!” Scar called, where was she?
BANG
A dash of lighting shot down from the sky, blue, electrical and wild
“Pearl! You okay?…Pearl?” No response. Where… where was she?
Scar felt a ghostly presence behind him as his communicator when off. He grabbed the device from hanging off his belt, the red heart charm on the side glistening in the sunlight. The message was from… Grian?
she’s dead scar. you won.
He won? He won. He won! He did it, the guy with no friends managed to win, he ran off to the Secret Keeper, ready to press the complete button and go back to Hermitcraft and work on Scarland again. ‘Jellie I’ll be home soon!’ He thought
He got to the secret keeper, looking up at it for what he thought would be the last time, but as he pressed the button, ready to go home, as he looked around he was still there, still on Secret Life. He pressed the button again, there must have been an error surely?! He pressed again, and again and again. But he was still here.
He looked up to the sky “why am I still here Watchers!? It’s over! You got what you wanted! Let me go home!” But as he shouted up into the sky, there was no response, just the stars in the sky shining back at him. Mocking him.
It was night time, he needed to sleep. He’s going to go to bed and are wake up back on Hermitcraft and everything’s gonna be okay
But it wasn’t okay, and he didn’t wake up back on Hermitcraft. Scar went to the secret keeper but this time instead of clicking complete, he clicked hard task, maybe he could cheat the system and go home? But when he read the task book it said ‘Win Secret Life’ but… but he had won!? He checked the player lost on his communicator, and as he suspected it was just him. He had won… he had won! Why can’t he leave!?
Maybe the watchers were twisted and wanted him to die? That’s how all the other players had won right!? Dying. He ran off to the nearest cliff and jumped, but… no damage!? A voice in his head spoke ‘We don’t want you dead, Lilac, you can’t die.’ The Watchers. But… why didn’t they want him dead?
For the next… well Scar lost track of time, he was stuck in a loop. Jump off, click task, click complete, click complete, click complete, sleep. And repeat. And repeat.
He didn’t know it had been days, months, he wouldn’t be surprised if it had been years at this point, surely someone will come get him soon right?
He didn’t know how much longer he could last here, he was losing his mind, all he could do was press the button, over, and over, and over, too no results
Xisuma would come get him and return him to Season 9 soon. He would. Right? X always come gets his hermits when they’re in trouble. This time would be no different
But X never came. No one ever came. It was just Scar. Scar and the button. Scar and the secret keeper looming over him.
The moments faded into eachother, nothing stood out.

Cycle
A cycle of pain. Of suffering. Of insanity. He hates it. He wants to leave.
“LET ME LEAVE” He screamed
Nothing.
Just silence.
The taunting silence.

At one point her remembers taking his cloak of, a black blob sitting on the floor as he ran off to tour the server
He’d been starting at the Secret Keeper so long now… he needed a break
He went through all the bases.
The Mounders, Gem and the Scotts, The Heart Foundation, The Roomies and The Big Dogs.
All their bases were beautiful, as he looked at them he remembered everyone running around, laughing having fun
He…He missed those times. When everyone was just chilling and having a good time.
Before the watchers made them fight.
Made them insane.
Before the Reds.
Eventually he made it too Lizzie’s house
Oh Lizzie…
Wait……
LIZZIE!
She didn’t die!
She just fell through the void, her death message never went through right? Everyone just found out she was dead because of Scott. He got his communicator out and scrolled and… yeah! No death message for Lizzie
Is… is that why he can’t win? Because of her?
But if that’s the case

Can he ever win?
Because… she’ll never die.
Is… Is he stuck here?
