Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The help

Horrors POV
I looked everywhere, but there was no sign of lust, what was even more suspicious was that it was the morning hours, his shift was meant to start, but lust or Dave was nowhere to be seen. I decided to give up and go back to my room, but on my way there I was stopped by Daves right-hand man.

"Hey, wait!" I scoffed "ugh what do you want Joey?" He seemed out of breath "look there's not much time, lust is in trouble" I furrowed my eyebrows "what did he do?!" "Daves got him trapped in the hatch, I'd rescue him myself but I haven't got the key, I need your help" as soon as he mentioned the hatch I went into my room to grab the axe, I barged Joey out the way "wait what are you doing?" I turn back and look at him, while still walking away.

"I'm gonna rescue my boyfriend!"

I stormed down the stairs and into the loading bay, I marched down the corridors until I found the supply closet.

Lusts POV
After Dave left, they did all sorts of bad things, they broke bones in my body, kissed me, covered me with hickeys, forced my soul to release, my loud crying from earlier was reduced to quiet sobs, now they both stood at the other side of the room, guarding the hatch, I felt like I was dying.

"P-please...l-let me go...*sniff* e-everything hurts....please"

I pleaded quietly, hoping that they would change their minds and help me, but they shook their heads "nope" "yeah no can do buddy, but even if we had a choice, we wouldn't let you out, because you belong to us now~" they chuckled villainously to each other as I let more of my tears roll down my face and drip onto the floor, landing in the small puddles I made with my past tears. I wanted horror, I wanted my old friends, I wanted somebody to save me.

But there was a knock on the door.

"Ugh you answer it" the other man grumbled as he fumbled about his pocket for the key, he climbed up the ladder and unlocked the hatch "hello? Ugh Joey what do you want-" he was suddenly dragged up and out the room, I heard him scream "what the?!"

The other man went up to check, but before he could climb the ladder, I saw horror dive down head first into him, while letting out a loud cry of anger, they both fell and hit the ground with a loud thud, making the room shake, horror managed to climb on top of the man and pin him down, the man then returned with a scream of his own when horror took a huge bite on his head, taking a chunk out of his head, but his screaming was quickly reduced to gargling as blood escaped his mouth, I almost threw up as he went limp.

"Horror!" He ran towards me "lust! Are you okay?!" He immediately began to heal me "no! Get me out of here!" Another one of daves men sealed the entrance "W-who are you?!

"Oh we may have met before, I'm Joey, the guy who saw you walk out of horrors room, remember?" I glared at him, this was the guy who told Dave about me "...you" he raised his hands defensively "hey hey, it was just for safety, Dave told me that horror was a psychopathic killer, so I got surprised when you walked out of his room in one piece, I'm sorry" I sighed "it's okay, but why are you helping us?"

"For too long I have seen him kill innocent people who couldn't pay their debts, people who had no choice, he even killed someone I knew, my wife...pregnant with my boy...at that point I spent years trying to find a moment to turn on him, and that time is now" I smiled, it was nice to have someone else to go against Dave. "So is everyone else gonna help?" "No they all hated me anyway, said that I was "too young and inexperienced" even though I've been with Dave for years" my smile faded, at least we had one person helping us.

Third person POV
"I'm still wondering how you ended up down here...wait...you saw something didn't you?" Lust nodded and looked down at the floor "a-are you mad at me?" Horror gently stroked lusts cheek, avoiding the bruises on his face "a little, but you were gonna find out eventually, I should probably tell you what he's really like" lust looked into horrors eyes to show that he was paying attention.
