Unlikely -DISCONTINUED

Home Sick Pt 3 (out of 4)

(So I could have completely abandoned home sick and and completely forget about it. Weeeellll...I had a brilliantly awful idea! Now suffer. I'm joking and I swear after these next two chapters it'll go back to being fluff. Also I wrote this at 5-7am for me so sorry if anything doesn't make sense or if I spelt stuff wrong. Enjoy!)

No one's POV:
It was a calm night, the kind of night that you'd go out star gazing with friends and partners. But the neighbourhood were all fast asleep. And it was quiet...to quiet. Even a single footstep outside could wake at least one or two people because of how quiet it was. Luckily this quietness would become handy. In some sense.

Howdy's POV:
I woke up and slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was a sleeping Wally next to me. I smiled and turned over to check the time. '04:31AM' gosh I'm up super early. I slowly got out of bed and made my way downstairs to get some water. I could hear what sounded like little taps of rain outside. Perhaps it was raining? I peeked outside the curtain and it didn't seem like it was raining, so where was that noise coming from?

Suddenly I heard a window break. I froze, completely unable to move. 'What if it was a burglar?, What if they stole something? What if they hurt Wally?' Thoughts were flooding my head I gathered the courage to go look. I wish I hadn't. It was five members from that stupid cult. They all looked at me blankly. One of them pointed at me. "He's not what we want but it'll do." It said before lowering its arm. I was then tackled down by two of the members, holy hell these guys were strong! I yelled since it was the only thing I could do in that moment. Wally came rushing down the stairs and Eddie and Frank also came over to see what all the commotion was about.

I don't remember much of what happened because I was passed out..but I heard someone yelling something about Wally biting someone?..whatever I'm to tired for this right now.

Wally's POV:
(TW: CANNIBALISM(?) MENTIONED IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH!(?) )
I woke up to loud noises downstairs and to my horror, there were cult members. 'God forgive me' I thought to myself before blinking/eating(?) three of the guys heads off. I immediately felt sick to my stomach. That was a bad idea. There was so much going on I didn't even notice that Frank and Eddie had turned up to see what the fuss was about.

The remaining two ran off before I had a chance to beat them up. I quickly ran to the bathroom to throw up before coming back to the living room where Frank and Eddie were standing dumbfounded by what had just happened. Eddie helped me lift Howdy onto our bed upstairs before we went back down to the living to discuss what happened.
"Wally. Buddy, what was that?" Eddie asked. I sat there silently thinking about what to say.
"I..it doesn't matter. I'll fix it by myself, you two go back home." I said trying to force a smile onto my face.
"Wally if there is anything we can help with please tell us." Frank said.
"No no. It's fine. Go home please." I replied. They both nodded and headed back to their own house.

Im so stupid! I should have never gone back to that place even if I was just trying to help home. Now Howdy is hurt and the others are starting to get suspicious. I sighed, walked to the phone and dialled Barnaby's number.
"Hey little buddy! I heard some commotion outside, everything alright?" Barnaby asked with a happy yet concerned tone.
Tears swelled in my eyes as realisation hit me. I had broke a promise I had made to my own best friend years ago, and now it's going to to get the entire neighbourhood put at serious risk.
"Wally? You still there?" He asked.
"Uh yeah..Barnaby I'm..I'm so sorry for breaking the promise. I swear I was just trying to help home." I said refusing to let my voice break.
"Hey it's okay dude! Besides it's not like anyone is hurt-"
"HOWDY IS HURT. IM HURT. YOU AND THE ENTIRE NEIGHBOURHOOD WILL BE HURT BECAUSE OF MY STUIPD MISTAKE." I yelled before quickly slapping my hand over my mouth.
"Wally. Come over to my house in the morning. I'll help you settle this, I promise." He said in a soft tone.
"okay. Bye Barnaby." I replied before hanging up the phone.

I was slightly shaking. I couldn't tell if it was because of the break in or because it was the first time I had yelled at any of my friends like that. Gosh I feel so dumb. I can't even go back to sleep..there's so much going through my head. I'll just wait for the morning. It's not like it's to long till then anyway.

In the morning...

Wally's POV:
I had made breakfast just in case Howdy woke up. I left the house and made my way over to Barnaby's. What was I going to say to him? 'Oh hey the crazy cult broke in last night!' That sounds stupid. I'll figure it out when I get there.

I knocked on the door and it almost instantly opened.
"Wally! Come in!" He invited me in with a smile. I smiled back awkwardly and walked in. We sat down on the sofa.
"So, what happened last night?" He asked me.
I sighed before answering. "Some of the members from that cult broke in and hurt Howdy." I said looking at the floor.
"Is he okay?" He asked me again and I nodded.
"So how are we going to get rid of them?" I asked. "We can't exactly go there without having to fight them." I continued.
"True, but we could get the police involved." He suggested.
"No. No police it'll only get worse." I said.
"Well we either call the police or fight them ourselves." He said.
"Guess we're fighting a cult." I responded casually.
His eyes widened a bit.
"You're not serious..right?" He asked me with a worried look.
I glared at him. I was dead serious. If they were going to hurt my husband and my friends then we'll return the favour.
