"I..." He put a hand to his forehead, looking confused, "What I did? And said? We where at the school then... I don't remember. Trisha hurt you because of me... it's my fault?"

She clung into him, letting herself roll with him then fling him off her. She was shaking a bit from the pain, teeth gritted to try and help ease the pain.

Sharkfin shook his head. "I guess not. It was mine, I tried to protect you ... but you didn't care." He said, gritting his teeth as the scales around his wound pealed away. His legs shuttered before they gave out under him. He rested his head to the ground, closing his eyes.

He yelped in shock as he went flying. He landed hard on his side, but forced himself back up. "Just give up!"

"No... Sharky," He ran over, kneeling down next to him, starting to cry again, "I do care. I don't know what I said, but I didn't mean it. Please don't leave me, I don't want another person to die because of me. Please... take of the collar, let me heal you," He sobbed hugging his head, "Please..."

"No I'll nev..." She trailed off as she collapsed, both her eyes now completely black, "The poison... no... it's too late. I failed, I'm so sorry Aro."
She went limb, not moving, eyes staring at nothing.

Sharkfin lifted his head, turning it away from Ace. "Oh yes, I'll take it and let you go crazy again. I'll let you hate me again... No. It's safer this way, and I'm fine." He growled, pushing to a stand. "Besides, looks like the prince is done." He said, looking over at Jason.

Jason gingerly nudged Ru, realizing something. He took a step back. "Clementine..." He whispered, realizing what was in Ru's system. He still gingerly tried to rest the bone against her head.

There was so much pain in his eyes. He could feel his heart tear to pieces, like with Fry. The only difference was Sharky was still alive, so he didn't understand this feeling.
"I don't want to lose you..." He said quietly reaching out a hand towards him, then pulling it back, "It's all my fault..."
He turned and ran away, not caring where he was going. He stumbled over every branch and root. He didn't feel the pain, his thoughts where somewhere else. It's all my fault. I should have never listened to Void, it's all been a big mistake. I shouldn't even be alive...

It finally glowed, the black disappearing as it was sucked into the bone. She was still limp though, not moving. Then she blinked once, then again. She looked bewildered, confused, shocked, sad and angry.

Sharkfin didn't bother to chase after him, simply collapsed to the ground again. 'I shouldn't have believed it. No one has ever cared about me after my family left. No one ever will... No matter how many lies he tries to say.'

Jason sighed, sitting back. "That feel better? What idiot told you to take Clementine?"

He finally stopped once he was far away, sitting down. He leaned against a tree, covering his face with his hand. He felt so lost, so hurt. He just wanted to drown in his sorrows.
"Hello Prince Ace. I see you got hurt again," Penny's voice rang in his ears as he felt a hand get placed on his shoulder, he ignored it, to lost in his pain.

"Clementine..." She echoed in confusion, "I was told it would stop the spread of the poison from the Shadow Realm. It was Sh-"

"Me brother," A voice slurred as Shade stepped forward, a crazy grin on his face.
He swayed a bit, eyes filled with anger and hate.

Sharkfin rested his head against the ground, starting to cry softly.

Jason growled at his brother, back spikes standing up sharply. "Shade." He growled.

Ace didn't react when Penny sat next to him, he was too lost in his thoughts.

"Hello... brother. I came for a visit," He slurred tilting his head a bit as he smiled, "Miss me?"

Sharkfin sobbed now in pain as his wound began to dry and crack.

"Not one bit." He hissed, taking a step back.
