[He couldn't see Basil, he couldn't see Basil at all, not beside the one in his current nightmare that was completely ignoring him- they were all ignoring him and a small voice in the back of his head whispered that it was perfect like this. They were all happy now, no one was going to notice him missing- the kind gesture of bringing hands on Kel's shoulders? It only caused him to panic further because instead of feeling his friend's sweet touch he feels teeth sinking into his skin. All Kel knows is pain as he desperately tries to push the Monster away- if he had arms left he would try to do so, at least. What greets Basil is Kel's miserable attempt to shield himself- at least he's not fighting back?
But how, anyway? Both legs have been taken away, his arms are nothing more than ghost limbs he imagines being there - all is left is phantom pain, this is why when he tries to scream nothing comes out of his mouth. Basil, poor Basil, will be met by a deep, cracked and haunted wail. He cannot even hear himself.
Please, someone... anyone, help him? Sunny's steps come closer, for a short fleeting moment there is hope, but he's already walking away to join Aubrey and Mikhael in the kitchen. A further attempt is made as he chokes in his own blood, he attempts to look at Cris and ask her for help, but something caresses his cheeks and proceeds to piece his eyes out- he's blind and despite the pain it's a consolation, at least he doesn't have to witness everyone ignoring his pain. What Basil will be greeted by is Kel screaming again, covering both eyes with the palm of his hands.
Earlier he managed to wake up before getting so... loud only because he wasn't in such a deep sleep, becuase he didn't lower his guard so much, but now? Now he cannot escape. He can't, he can't and the worst part is that his heart is breaking too- why is no one even looking at him? Why isn't Hero- where is Hero again?
Something tells him not to worry and relax, it will be over soon- and it is. He feels fingers grabbing something inside his chest, it takes Kel a moment to realize it's tugging away his heart- His orbits may be empty but he still finds himself closing his eyes as he braces for the worst- what will be even left of him once that last bit is devoured? There's no time to ask further questions as he feels a strong pull, then what's left of him gets taken away, chomp after chomp.
That's when he wakes up, terrified and still feeling phantom pain all over his body. He doesn't process Basil being in the room, nor their cat, he merely turns to the side to vomit, but all that comes out of his empty stomach is a pained gurgle. He... has a stomach again? And he's crying, so he must have eyes as well- His entire body is shaking like a leaf as he slowly comes back to reality. At least the adrenaline is all the way back up, sleeping isn't going to be a priority for at least a solid half an hour.]
