*beep, beep, beep*

I wake up to the beeping of a heart monitor. I open my eyes and look at my surroundings, I'm in a hospital. I notice stitches on my arms and examine them. There are wounds on my hands, forearms, and elbows and an IV in my arm.

After a few minutes, a nurse comes in to check up on me. "Oh good, you're awake! How are you feeling?" She sounds joyful. "I'm feeling okay..." I answer, unsure if she heard me. The brown haired nurse nodds "Alright, I'll let the doctor know that you're awake.". She leaves the room and leaves me alone. I turn away from the door and get startled at the sight of something at the side of my bed. It greets me in a raspy sounding voice "Hello there!". It appears to be a pale demon with black horns and spikes coming out of its wrists and neck. It's eyes were fully white, had black claws, looked like it was wearing eyeliner, and had a mouth that resembled a Jack o lantern.

I jump back a little and think to myself 'What is that? Am I hallucinating? Is it actually there?' as I stare at the demon in awe. I ask "What are you?" and tilt my head slightly. "I'm a demon, I'm also a ghost as well." it leans on the bed and tilts its head, almost making it look limp. There is a demon in my room that was also a ghost... this feels unreal, this has to be! Maybe I can get the demons name first "What's your name?". It grins at me "You can call me Sully.". That name is quite interesting.

Sully speaks up to ask me something "Anyways, you feeling alright? You've been in a coma for like two weeks.". This shocks me a bit, I respond "I'm alright...". Sully floats a little closer to me "Can you tell me what happened the night I found you bleeding on the floor in your bedroom?". Did he save me from certain death? I think about that question as I tell him about how Jeff attacked me that night. After I finished telling them my story, I noticed he was tightly gripping the bed frame and looked unhappy. "Mhmm... You think we should kill him?" he tilts his head once more, smirking and squinting. I'm taken aback, I'm not sure if I want to kill Jeff, he is my brother, but he tried to kill me... I tell him "I... don't know...". He tries to convince me "He tried to kill you, it'd be fair if we killed him.". We?! I'm not gonna be killing anyone. Sully keeps trying to convince me to help him kill Jeff but I don't want to be the cause of anyone's death.

Our conversation is interrupted when a doctor walks in with the nurse from earlier come in. The doctor smiles at me "Hey Liu! Are you feeling okay?". I turn to him and reply "Yeah." while nodding. The doctor gives me a quick assessment and leaves the room. The nurse follows behind and gives me a sympathetic look before closing the door. I wonder to myself how they didn't see Sully. I lay down, feeling a little sleepy.

Sully leans over my bed and looks me in the eyes "Get some rest for now, okay?". I nod and close my eyes and eventually doze off.
