Code Pink {OC Death and Cruelty}

Stepping within the mirror, I would witness the world around me shift. The walls were white with various weirdly disturbing "cute" illustrations of animals. The contrast between this and what happened behind closed doors was staggering. There were many of us, and we were about to go to our normal get-together, but something felt off.  It was unusually cold, and I had goose bumps. I look over at Norm, the handsome fella... I grabbed his paw as it seemed he was feeling stressed, too.  "Normy...! Hey. Normy...! It's okay, I'm here..." I smiled at Norman, who seemed to glance down rather coldly, but said, "Sorry... I'm just... Not feeling right. It feels off. Do we..." Norman asked me, but stopped himself as if he was unsure whether to even say it. He looked scared. Norman is tough, but you can tell when he is afraid... Especially with his gross, sweaty hands! Hehe. "Oddeus! Come on! We have planning!" A voice from the other end of the hallway would say. It was a door at the end of a long hallway to presumably an office.  I look at Norm and I said, "Hey, I promise that everything will be okay. Follow your heart and know that no matter what... I'll be right behind you." I gave him my best, cute smile, but he seemed out of it. I hope it reached him. I let go of his hand and followed the noise, entering the door at the end of the hallway. I look at the floor beneath me and I think long, hard, desperately... I looked for a solution to hide this from you, but... I am still weak with my abilities, I... I look up to see the other children around me as they are playing, I was zoning out, my eyes wandering slowly. What was I looking for? Where is he? He was just here. Where is he?! I could feel the warmth from the tears welling in my eyes as I couldn't see you... Where are you?! What have they done?! I heard it. It was faint... So quiet you can barely hear but... Nothing can suppress that scream of pure agony... Desperate squeaking and sudden agonizing, blood-curdling screams. I could feel my hands quiver as I would look around desperately, "Hey, guys... Where's Oddeus?" They didn't know. They didn't even see him leave. Please no... No, No, No... Please don't do this to him. I look over at the door at the end of the hall as I would look over to see a pull for a pink alarm. It said, "In case of child missing or abduction". I would pull on it as the lights on the walls would start to blast bright pink as the alarm would beat in my ears. His screams are now fainter with the bombastic noise that was vibrating in my skull. I run. I just simply ran. Fast and I never looked back. His painful nightmareish screams would be heard more and more clearly as he desperately ran, "ODDEUS!!!" I paused to catch my breath before continuing, "STOP IT YOU MONSTER!" I can feel the tears welling down my face as I hold my paw out desperately to try and reach the door. "PLEASE!!! ODDEUS!" The hallway felt like an eternity as I could hear with every blood-boiling scream, it would get quieter as if life was being pulled out from his body. Until it was no more, I arrived but all too late... It was already done, only the sounds of bones being crushed and destroyed. Norman fell to his knees as he clutched the ground, which slowly became drenched in blood. "Oddeus, please... I didn't get to..." I would reach out to grab the door handle as I began to hesitate, the silence, deafening.  Who could do this to cute little Odd? I-I could see the blood get added on by his stream of tears that flowed beneath me.  I would grab the handle, and I would slowly pull down on it as the alarm would get louder and louder. Everything went dark, and I felt him there... I reached out, but had Odd's appearance. "I would... Open... The door."  Within that very thought, I saw Odd's paw touch mine, our appearances matching. He would smile and pull my arm away. The urge was so strong to resist it, but not from him. Not from my sweet Odd. Oddeus, in his young childish appearance, would smile happily at Norm, "It's okay, Normy. You don't have to see it. I will help you reach yourself because I know we would do it together. I have brought our friends... Family. Oddeus in spirit and all those who called out to Norman. They would grab him and assist him in running away to the rest of the children. The spirits were telling him to run and keep running towards the light amongst the darkness. The spirits would slowly be absorbed by Norman as he would run faster with each absorbed spirit.  He looked back as the door behind him burst open, bright eyes would glare daggers as it would run at Norman. The freak chasing him would be getting closer, her breathing loudly getting closer and closer, desperately violent. It felt like miles, but it was only mere moments of pure hope. Hope for the future. Hope for the best. Norm would reach the mirror as Odd would come out on the other end. For some time, I have been trying to write a letter. I wrote this for my baby brother, Oddeus: I miss you. I remember your sweet face, and sometimes I pretend to be you so I can remember what you were like. You were a ball of sunshine, snuffed out by a force so strong your flame burst. I regret running away, and I refused to forgive myself. Amy knows I am like this, and we support each other through this hallowed time. I wish you could see me, I'm going to be a dad. I still have problems with my face and with my transformation. I had rebuilt my face. I had rebuilt my life. I thank everyone who loved my brother, even if it wasn't truly him. Oddeus was my entire life, and I vowed to protect him. I had lost. I had lost, as I knew this would come, but I didn't know it was going to be so soon. Sheila got away with it. They got away. I never will stop looking for them, but... I must let you rest, Oddeus. I still cry when I'm alone in the dark, and loud noises put fear in my heart. However, I have friends now. I have a purpose now. I will fill the hollow feeling in people's hearts... I promise you I love you, Little Oddy... Goodbye. End note. This is my secret. I assume you will think differently of me, but... Thank you. Thank you for filling the once Hollow feeling becomes something whole once more.
