The Plague Doctor [RATED R] ✓

(24) Delusional

I WOKE UP THANKS to the noise coming from outside. My head was aching as I got out of the bed, stumbling back a little because of how heavy my entire body felt. I looked around the area and realized that I was back in my bedroom, and I was no longer wearing the clothes I wore at the party last night.

     Yesterday felt like a lucid dream. I couldn't even remember anything after leaving the party. All I know was that I was able to finish the task in time, and after that everything else was a blur.     "What on earth happened?" I ask myself as I walk my way to the bathroom to wash my face. I went inside and stood in front of the sink. I then looked at the mirror and stared at my reflection, but as soon as I looked directly into my eyes, images suddenly flashed in front of me.

     I saw images of police officer Mateo Ricci. We were standing outside Claudio's mansion and we were talking about something that looked important, but everything was on mute. I then saw Claudio the following day, and then Hunter.

     The visions felt like my alters were giving me a front-row seat to everything that happened, leaving parts that were purposely cut. Right after the visions stopped, I gasped for air and gripped the sink, panting heavily like I had just run a marathon. I looked back at the mirror and saw that blood was coming out of my nose, so I immediately turned the faucet on and washed my face.

     "A-Alice, what the fuck were you doing?" I angrily say as the water dripped down my chin. I looked back at my eyes and stared at myself, hoping to get some sort of response, but before anything could even happen, someone suddenly knocks on my door.

     I wiped my face with my shirt and walked out of the bathroom. The door then opens, revealing Lino who was covered in dirt.

     "Bishop?" He asks, and I rolled my eyes, annoyed that he was the first person I see in the morning, so I ignored him and walked to my closet to change my clothes. I didn't even have to answer or even say anything for Lino to know that I was back.

     "You know, after being with Alice yesterday, I could tell that she's much more pleasant to be with. She's polite like Winter, and not so much a pain in the ass," Lino tells me as I strip in front of him with no hesitation.

     As I was butt naked in front of the gardener, I took out my uniform from the closet and said, "Well then master Claudio should have recruited them instead since it doesn't look like he has no problem with making my other alters do his work for him."

     Lino doesn't say anything yet and approaches me. While I was putting my underwear on, he stops just a meter behind me and says, "The master had no choice. Alice didn't want to let you out and we needed you for something important."

     "Then he could have easily waited," I say, now wearing my pants and top.

     "Well, Hunter couldn't," Lino then said while I was halfway done buttoning my shirt. As soon as I heard what he said, I stopped and looked back at him in shock.

     "What do you mean by that?" I ask him, and Lino moves closer to me and buttons my shirt for me before saying, "I don't know how much you remember, but I didn't tell master Claudio about how that officer drove you back to the mansion. I told him I was the one who drove you there, so if you don't want the two of us to get fucked, I suggest you keep quiet."

     "And why would I do that?" I then ask while the two of us intensely stared at each other. When Lino was now finished unbuttoning my shirt, he suddenly grabs the buckle of my belt and pulls me towards him until I was only inches away from his smiley face.

     "If you're fine seeing the officer in one of master's operation beds then be my guest, but if you still want him with complete limbs then I suggest you listen to what I say," Lino whispers near my ear, making the hair on my skin stand.
