Hidden demon

Nearly lost them

(Lily: Mum) (Amy: Mom)

We looked to the corner and saw Robin there. I wasn't sure why he was but I guess he came down to see if food was ready and then overheard us talking about him. I just wasn't sure how long he was listening. Midnight asked him also wanting to know.

"How long have you been there Robin?" Midnight questioned.

"I'm not sure, about ten minutes I guess," he replied.

I was confused at first but maybe he dissociated while listening because we were talking about the death of his parents which was very traumatic for him and that's how his mind learnt to deal with trauma. I could tell that his other personality was out. He didn't seem as smiley or sweet. Midnight invited him to sit with us. He seemed like he wasn't here. His eyes seemed distant. I'd seen that look so many times now. It was like he was in his own world.

He didn't seem to be in reality anymore.

"So why were you talking about me?" he asked.

"We just wondered about a few things like why you don't remember both incidents but it could be because you were in shock," I suggested.

Robin nodded rubbing his hands like he was anxious. I didn't really get why he had to be anxious but maybe he was worried that we were starting to point blame to him. I mean we were not really and we would certainly find proof first as soon as Midnight's mum is out of hospital. It would be easier with her since we already know her. I snapped out of my thoughts and noticed that Robin didn't seem ok and looked uncomfortable. I'm guessing he was just anxious hopefully.

He looked sweaty though, like he was overheating. I felt this strange sense of deja vu but ignored it not thinking anything of it. I'm guessing this hot flush thing was just his anxiety and I blew things out of proportion because he did seem anxious. I mean we were talking about the death of mine and his parents plus that he might be involved so I guess it makes sense. I feel like I should stop overthinking this now and that just because their other personality isn't showing emotion doesn't mean they would kill.

It just means they are different and likely misunderstood. I didn't want to be the person to make them feel that way so I decided to try to see if there was maybe a reason for it happening just before the attacks. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation I haven't thought of yet.

"You ok Robin?" Midnight asked concerned, bringing me out of my mind.

"Just not feeling great, I think I will go back to bed," he decided.

"I will get you there," Midnight offered.

He didn't reply and Midnight let him lean on them. I again felt this bad feeling but ignored it since the door was locked and the killer wouldn't be able to hurt anyone tonight. He took him to our room and I got up with the blanket going to the kitchen.

"Hi Jess, you know what Midnight likes for food?" Lily questioned.

"Anything Italian," I replied.

"That's good since we are making spaghetti bolognese," Mom added.

Midnight loved their Italian food. I promised that one day I would take them to a restaurant in Italy one day and I was definitely sticking to it but this time it would be a date.

"You two were cuddly," Mum pointed out.

"Yeah I asked her out," I admitted.

"Are they my future child in law?" Mom asked.

I blushed and they awed at me. The cooking was done and was just being dished out. As soon as it was done we heard a scream. Midnights scream and without another thought I rushed upstairs. Robin was passed out and Midnight was slashed across their chest just like the others. I got my phone and called the ambulance immediately. I called for my parents in tears. Not my Midnight.

My parents came up and looked in horror. The ambulance came not didn't long before and they came up immediately. My parents got me to go downstairs. We went outside as we waited. I broke down as I saw them carrying my partner out on a stretcher. They let me go in the back with them. Robin was put in another since I mentioned he was unconscious. My mom got in with Robin.

She promised my mum that she would give an update as soon as both Robin and Midnight were in the clear. We were off as soon as possible and on the way to the hospital. The paramedic in the back was trying to calm me saying that Midnight would be ok and that I saved them just in time. It felt like barely any time had passed. I held Midnight's hand all the way to the hospital. They opened the doors to the ambulance being met with Doctors. The other one also got the doors open.

"We have two young children, one seems to be unconscious and unharmed, the other has slashes similar to the police officer," the paramedic informed the Doctors as the two patients were taken out of the ambulances and through the hospital doors.

I followed the one that was with Midnight hoping they would hold on. I heard them say that they were slipping away and they had to act quickly. They were taken to intensive care and they hooked them up to so many machines. I didn't want my first day of them being my partner to be like this. My mom took me to the family area since I was so upset.

"Don't worry love, they will be ok I promise you," my mom assured me.

As soon as we were in the waiting room I cried in her arms. She rocked me gently and sung to me with a soft voice. She sounded as if she were crying to. We sat like that for maybe an hour before using the bathroom and getting drinks plus some food since we didn't eat. Half an hour later a Doctor came in.

"Both are stable, we almost lost Midnight but they are ok now, we have to keep them in for a few days until their wounds heal but as soon as we can take the stitches out they can get out, Robin seems to be unharmed but is still not responsive, it seemed like he was passed out from shock but he should wake up soon maybe in the next hour," the Doctor told us.

We were allowed to go to them now and I didn't hesitate to go to Midnight. I should have went with them and they would be ok. I had to try to be calm though because they would be probably be really scared and confused right now so I would try my best to be there for them. I really wanted to get my hands on this killer though. As soon as I did they would be regretful of what they did.

The second they see me they will wish for their life. They killed my parents and hurt my love so they would be very lucky if they were alive after. All I know is that I won't go easy on them no after everything they did. Even if it was Robin's other personality I was beyond angry but they clearly weren't a good person then I didn't even know anything about this personality from the research I did it just didn't seem like DID at all but what other explanation was there?
