DNF Sociopath

chapter 6

Skeppy's pov

Being completely honest, George had every right to be mad, and shoot me. I would've done the same in his position. It was late at night, and I couldn't sleep. Guilt from what George had said filled my head.

"I TRUSTED YOU" the pain, hurt and anguish in his voice. "He's going to kill me, and my blood will be on your hands," those words haunted me. I regretted ever accepting Dream's little deal, but... it was the only way. It was all for him. It was the right choice, to save him. I had to protect bad, that's what George wanted, right? that's why he was sent to me, remembering the night where Darryl came to my house in the afternoon with a backpack filled with his stuff and his hoodie up, he looked nervous as we had a fight a few days back, but I missed him so much, I welcomed him inside and without saying a word he walked in. that night we talked it out after I cornered him as he was trying to walk to the spare bedroom.

And now as I laid on the bed, with Bad sleeping next to me, I scooted over a bit more, making sure not to wake him up, As I looked over at his beautiful face, His hood pulled up, but his eyes closed peacefully. I smiled and brushed a lock of his auburn hair out of his face. He made me feel extremely happy, I would not let anyone take him away from me. Even if I had to make sacrifices. I still remember the day Dream offered me that deal and it was so foolish of me to accept it.

I had been working to solve a different case, a guy's wife got killed, and we were close to finding the killer. But Philza already made it clear he wanted me off that case and onto the Smile killer's case. I had ended up working late before finally deciding to finish the case in the morning. shutting down my desktop and grabbing my bag to leave. I always had a gun on me, usually in my holster. As I walked down the street a tall man in a green hoodie approached me, tapping me on the shoulder. I didn't have any recording devices at the time, I had left my phone at home. I turned around to see his face was covered by a white mask. With a smiley face drawn on it... he spoke in a calm tone

"Hello there, Zak" how the hell does he know my real name?! he continued as I froze in place, "How about we have a little chat" I reached for my gun only to touch empty air, I groaned as the man spun the gun around his finger, pointing it into the alleyway,

"Looking for this, lets go somewhere a little more, private, quiet place, Yeah?" a odd phenomenon happened, time itself seemed to freeze, the streets were empty, but I could feel it, even light seemed to freeze, along with the moon and clouds, "Follow me" the man said, walking into the alleyway, I followed in curiosity, he suddenly turned and stopped.

"Listen Agent Skeppy. My name is Dream or I also go by the less popular name, The Smile killer," my eyes widened as Dream sighed, "Now, I have a deal to strike with you, everyone has a weakness and I found yours, I've seen the way you look at Darryl," my fists tightened, my temper rapidly rising, "now wouldn't it be such a shame if something were to happen to him?" something inside me snapped. I lunged at him,

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!" I yelled, charging as Dream quickly disarmed me and slammed me against a wall, smiling,

"Oh, I will, but I need a favor from you as well. A guy named George Davidson will come in tomorrow to share his testimony about his encounter with the Smile killer, he will stay for 4 nights and over those nights I will visit him. Now I don't need your help visiting him, but I do need you to help me with moving him. The final night before he's moved, I need you to let me in and let me take him. Afterwards you say he left willingly with me. And I'll knock you out to make it seem more realistic, no one needs to know about our little deal and Darryl, will not in any way be harmed," I thought about it a bit and with a heavy heart I agreed, and accepted his deal. For Darryl's sake! The angel sleeping next to me, is worth the world to me.
