(BLAZA POV)

"Socks...!?"

Socks looked at me desperately. "Blaza, please, I-I didn't mean it!"

"YOU LITERALLY KILLED HIM, HOW COULD YOU NOT-" I started to shout, but I was cut off by Socks running up and hugging me. I heard him softly crying.

Was not expecting that.

I put my hand on his shoulder. He touched my hand with a tentacle. 

"If you don't want me around anymore, I understand," Socks said, "I just murdered your friend..."

"He was your friend, too," I replied, "Whatever happened, you truly didn't mean it, I can tell."

I just then noticed Ally sneaking up behind Socks. She put her hand on a pistol she always kept on her belt, and raised it to point at Socks.

"SOCKS, WATCH OUT-" I started, and I pushed him away as the bullet fired.

I felt an excruciating pain in my side. I gasped sharply, making it worse. I could hardly stand anymore at this point, and I fell to the ground. Spots swam in front of my eyes. I heard someone distantly calling my name, but I couldn't tell who.

That's all I remembered before blacking out.

(SOK BOI POV)

I stared in horror at Blaza's unconscious body, blood covering the left side of his bear hoodie. He was still breathing, but barely.

I looked up to see Ally, gun still in hand, staring at what she'd done. She looked up at me fearfully.

"Socks..." she said, but I was already heading for her.

I sped up quickly and grabbed her by the arms, lifting her up. She dropped her gun, and I caught it.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" I screeched, "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!?!"

"He got in the way!" Ally said, but instantly realized her mistake. I gripped her tighter.

"Of what?" I questioned forcefully, "Me?"

As I said this, I noticed Nadwe in the corner of my vision coming towards me. I launched a tentacle his way, and he dodged, barely keeping his top hat on. He backed off after that.

And Laff was just staring at this whole scene a bit too eagerly.

"Socks! What are you doing?!"

I looked over to see that Meme had just arrived, confused as ever, staring at me. I realized that I had been pointing the gun at Ally this whole time. He looked at me, then at Tbh, then Blaza, then back at me.

"Put her down!" Meme said, "Whatever she did, I'm sure she had a reason!"

I sighed. He was right. Even though that's no excuse as to attempting to kill me, she did do it because I killed Tbh. I dropped the gun and Ally, and ran over to where Blaza had been laying. I checked his pulse quickly, relieved to feel it pulsing, but it was not very strong.

Meme tried to come up, but I stopped him. "Stand back for a moment," I said.

I put both hands on his arm and focused my energy to them. The bloody wound started to glow softly, and then mend itself. Soon, it was as if it never happened. Blaza's breathing slowed back to normal, and his expression softened. I sighed in relief. He was gonna be okay.

"How did you-?" Meme questioned.

"I have healing abilities," I replied, "Long story."

It's not a long story, but I was not about to tell him about past.
