Dark and Twisted

Chapter Nine

I opened my eyes, my head throbbing.

"What the fuck happened last night?' I groaned as I looked around the room.

"Everlynn?" I whispered as I saw her lying next to me asleep naked.

"Son of a bitch..." I whispered to myself trying to get out of her bed without waking her. I didn't want to have to explain to her that last night only happened because I was drunk, causing my feelings to briefly come back to me.

I chuckled as memories started to come back to me while I was slipping my clothes on.

"You were a good fuck. Have fun replacing your bed." I whispered as I walked out of her room, leaving her alone, clueless, and asleep.

"Damn, I broke her front door too!" I laughed as I walked out of the house, making the "walk of shame" to my place.

"Where in the hell have you been?"

I heard Quinn call out as he heard me walk through the front door.

He followed me making my way to down the dark hall to my room. He leaned against my bedroom door frame as I entered my room and into my bathroom.

"Holy shit!" He hollered out laughing.

"Who did you fuck?" his head cocked to the side as if I were trying to hide what I did.

"Look, I got drunk and wanted to fuck. It's easy to do when you have a girl that's "in love" with you." I replied to him while I turned the shower on, wanting to wash the smell of alcohol off of me.

"You fucked Everlynn?!" he asked, leaving his mouth wide open.

"She was easy. All I had to do was tell her what she wanted to hear; I practically had her eating out of the palm of my hand. Now all I want to do is take a shower and get rid of this hang over, so get the hell out." I demanded with my head throbbing.

I stepped over the side of the stone tub into the shower, my body relaxing with the hot water running down my back. I closed my eyes, almost regretting what I did last night, except this time when my eyes shut, I didn't see her face. I could erase her from my life and not even care. I chuckled finally feeling free from any duty that I once had to her, from any love I had for her, I was finally free from any responsibility I had before.

I grabbed my towel and stepped out of the shower, water making puddles on the floor while I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the man I saw before me, the new me. I dried off and put on some clean clothes ready for the next step in the ritual to bring Fletch back.

"Quinn! You ready?" I yelled from my bedroom as I put on my boots.

"Waiting on you like always, slow ass." He replied while walking down the hall passed my room.

"The diggers ready or do you need me to do it so it will be done right?" I laughed with my insult.

"Dude, I got this." He replied, crossing his arms, and smiling.

"You better. "I walked past him glaring at him with my response, opening the front door, walking out and down the steps with Quinn following close behind me.

We walked to the cemetery, joking, and laughing the whole way for once.

"So let me get this straight, you got drunk causing your emotions to seep through the numb, fucked Everlynn and just walked out when you woke up?" He stared at me as if he were surprised at my "accomplishment."

"Yeah, that's pretty much what happened." I replied back.

We turned the corner entering the cemetery, meeting our new Gravediggers.
