Lars's POV
I wake up, and see Cordell in the top bunk. When'd he get home? Billy must have gotten him home or something.
I open the door, right when I hear Cordell mumble something. It was indistinct, but he sounded stressed. He then yelped in pain and woke up, bolting straight up from his sleep.
"W-What- Lars!? When did you- Where- Oh." He was stuttering so much, he couldn't even think straight.
"Cordell, are you okay? I heard you scream in your sleep." I ask him, with concern in my voice.
"Y-Yeah, I think so... I don't know, actually." He responds, stroking one side of his neck. I nod, and leave to make us breakfast. I see Billy already downstairs.
"Oh, hey Lars!" He greets me. I nod to him. "Our parents went to work early, and there's no school today. I was just making eggs, you want some?"
"Yeah, thanks!" He hands me two plates, motioning up. I got the hint, and brought one of the plates upstairs.
I knock on the door. "Cordell? You okay in there?"
I hear no response, and open the door with caution.
"Pfft- Cordell, why are you hiding under the blanket?" I ask him. I just hear incoherent grumbling.
"...Cordell?"
I can hear him groan and mumble a few more random words.
"...Cordell?" I ask him with a disturbed look on my face as I see what used to be my brother, now as pale as glue, with horrible eye bags, and blood dripping out of his mouth and around his neck. His ears looked a shade of red I didn't know existed.
Blood is everywhere.
What the hell happened?
