Chapter Text
007n7 let out a shaky breath as they slipped to the cold floor, blood oozing out a large gash on his chest. He tried using his shaking hands to apply pressure to the wound, but he could barely even move, his hands only able to reach up to his chest slightly.
The killer, Jason, had been chasing him for the past minute. He had only wanted to save Shedletsky after he missed his slash, yet Jason quickly changed targets to him. He choked on the blood rising in his throat. It didn't matter how long he's done this, he'll never get over how much it hurts to die. He took his eyes off his wound to check the timer. One minute. He just needed to survive one more minute of this hell, and he’ll live.
The sound of soft footsteps were heard by the door. For a second, 007n7 thought the killer was back to finish him off, but was surprised by the annoyed expression on Elliots face.
“007n7? Where have you been all round? Did you get hit once and then hid for the rest of the round?” Elliot questioned, venom clear in his voice. Him and Elliot… weren't on the best terms. Years ago 007n7 had tormented Elliot’s business, hacking and burning his buildings. Although he had long since changed, Elliot certainly hasn't forgiven him. He shoke the bad memories out his head and focused back on what Elliot had just said.
“No I-” he got interrupted by coughing out a load of blood, and his head felt dizzy.
-The bleeding effect should have stopped by now.. At the time rate, I'll die from the blood loss!-
“E-elliot.. Please.. I need pizza..” he coughed, trying to look at Elliot clearly, but the blurriness in his eyes made it impossible. Elliot stared at him for a few seconds, as if he had grown two heads. the sound of the timer ticking might be the only thing keeping him sane.
“No.” he glared at him coldly, leaving before 007n7 could even open his mouth to protest.
007n7 blinked, honestly not that surprised at Elliot’s response. The dizziness became overwhelming, his head starting to throb with pain, and his eyes grew heavy. He felt his heart beat rapidly, trying to rush blood to his brain. 007n7 closed his eyes for a second.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in the cabin, surrounded by the other survivors. Most of the survivors didn’t even seem fazed to see 007n7, a glance or two shot his way, but he really wasn’t expecting much anyways. Chance and two time sat on the couch, seeming to be the only ones spectating. Chance blinked before looking back at 007n7, probably a witness to his death.
“Heyyyy… um.. Buddy! What a shame, so close. Looks like your death added a few seconds to the timer” Chance smiled awkwardly. He might be the only one to actually talk to 007n7 nowadays. It didn’t last long though, as he turned his attention back to the small screen in front of him. 007n7 could tell he was spectating Elliot from where he stood in the room. He didn't bother talking to anyone, he just sat down on the couch a fair distance away from the others and waited for the round to end.
Turns out he didn't need to wait long, as Shedletsky was the next one dead, forcing Elliot into last man standing. He must have used his rush hour earlier, as he was no match for Jasons speed.
Elliot died a few seconds later. The killer had won.
Elliots hands curled into firsts. His face hot from embarrassment.
“Dang It 007n7! If you hadn't died, the timer wouldn't have gone up! Why do you go out of your way to take everyone down with you!?” Elliot spat turning around to face 007n7, anger clear in his eyes.
An unfamiliar feeling bubbled inside him. Maybe it’s always been there. And maybe it needed to come out
-..he's blaming me..? ME!?!-
007n7 rose sharply from the coach, earning a started yelp from noob, who had decided to sit next to him.
“I asked you for pizza! If I got healed we all would have lived! It's your own fault you and Shedletsky died!” the words slipped out his mouth before he could even think.
-Why is Elliot acting like this isn't his fault?!-
The other survivors now had their full attention on Elliot and 007n7, some in shock from 007n7’s outburst.
“Guys lets all calm down” Shedletsky tried to shut the argument down but 007n7 snapped back.
“No! I'm tired of everyone here treating me like shit just because of who I used to be years ago! Not to mention how you treat me because of my son! You guys treat me worse than the actual killers!” Shedletsky blinked before backing off, clearly not wanting to deal with this anymore. Elliot just stared at 007n7, shock and a glint of guilt plastered on his face, clearly not expecting 007n7 to snap like that.
“I'm not staying here any longer! Dont come after me!” 007n7 ripped the cabin door open, glaring at everyone before he slammed the door.
He didn't bother looking back. He ran off the path, unsure of where he even planned to go. After a few minutes, he felt his breathing finally calm down. He tried to collect his thoughts.
-Why did I act like that? It really wasn't that big of a deal..- he slowed his pace, but kept walking, his thoughts beginning to cloud him so much that he didn't even realize he was headed towards the woods.
-I know why Elliot didn't give the pizza to me, my son and I tormented him for years. He's not forced to forgive me just because I changed.. It's my fault. I shouldn't have teased that killer like that. It's my fault.-
Tears pricked at his eyes, it felt so embarrassing. tears felt like they were burning at his skin. He hiccuped quietly, quickly brushing his tears away with one of his sleeves. He sniffed, inhaling the sweet scent of honey.
“Wait, honey?” he finally lifted his head, and he felt his eyes widened at the unfamiliar land around him.
