Red Black: Chapter 4 Bleedingheart found himself in a dark room. He heard the cries of a newborn baby. He opened his eyes and saw a woman. Her face hidden in the shadows. In her arms she held a baby bundled in a blanket. Its face unseen. Then a large, shadowy figure appeared before her. Eyes glowing like moonlight. It reached out and took the bundle from her. The cries grew louder. ”No!” BH cried out in horror. The women is then engulfed into the shadows by a swarm of arm-like claws. “Mommy! Don’t go! Don’t let them take me from you! Please! Don’t leave me! MOTHER!” He Woke up in a sweat. He looked around and sighed. “Not again. These dreams still haunt me...” he put his hands on his face as his eyes started to tear up. ”What did they do to you? Why did they take me?” Bleedingheart had been raised to be a soldier, as part of the Collective known as the Heartless. Those without hearts. But he was different. He was born with one. For most of his youth, he was tortured when he
“Alright, everyone! Listen up!” Shouted Scorch. The room went silent. “We have a new recruit! Y’all better be nice to him or you Have to deal with me! Got that?” Bleedingheart was very shy. He never interacted with other people. He looked at Scorch. Scorch smiled. “It’s okay. They won’t bite. ‘cept for Bubba.” everyone laughed. Then Scorch signaled them to stop.”Make yourself at home.” He left the room. Leaving BH with the gang. Neverous, he waves his hand. “H-Hi...” One germ walked up to him, put out his hand and said “Howdy!“ hesistated, BH shook his hand.”Da name’s Bubba! But you already knew that. The boss ain’t lyin’. I’m a bonified flesh eater!” He smiled. Showing his razor teeth. “This is Rigor, Skeet and Gary.” “Nice to meet you...” Bleeding noticed a green germ sitting in the back looking at him with anger. “Don’t mind Botch Over there. He’s like that with everyone. ‘Cept the boss. Dunno Why.” BH waved at him, only to be scoffed at. “C’mon. I’ll show ya to yer room.”
Soon after, Scorch takes Bleedingheart to an abandoned warehouse. “Well, we’re here.” Scorch knocked on the door. “Who’s there?” Said a voice. “It’s me, you idiot!” The door then opened. “C’mon in. I’ll introduce you to the gang.” As Bleedingheart stepped in, Scorch stops him. “But first, we gotta put some clothes on ya.” “Why?” “You don’t wanna walk around naked, do ya?” Bleedingheart looked down and blushed ”Relax. I might have some hand-me-downs.” Scorch dug around the closet. Until he found some. A purple hoodie and blue shorts. “Here.” He handed to him.”These don’t fit me anymore. So they’ll fit you.” “Um...Thanks.” Scorch turned around. He peeked over his shoulder. “So, where ya from?” Scorch asked. “Well...I can’t really explain.” “Okay, so you’re not from here.” “Yeah, you might say that.” He replied as he pulled the shorts up. == ”What world is this?” “This is The City of Joe.” “Joe? What’s a Joe?” “Not what. Who. As in the guy we are in.” Bh realized he was inside the
