welcome to trench

"i am clancy"

i shoot up a little "w-what how-

he painfully sits up aswell, a million thoughts fly through my head "you're clancy?" i shakily ask him, he nods again, looking at me now

"b-but the facility, nico- he- how even-

tyler sighs slowly, i stop talking

i try and put together something to say "they told us stories about cl- you....how nico would have it out for you, the literal torture facility being named after you because of all of the torture he put on you...the countless moments of escape, everything...is that...true?"

my voice cracking softly on 'true', he locks eyes with me, "its all true" he says holding in his tears, fiddling with his hands

"oh tyler..." i mumble

he starts to breath heavy and his eyes get a glossy look "that never should've happend" i plead and softly grab his arm, he looks back at me and a sob escapes his lips

"im sorry" he chokes out

i pull him in for hug and he buries his head in my shoulder softly sobbing, he latches onto me like never before, like im going to evaporate any minute

"shhh don't be"

i rub his back trying to calm him somehow, his breath unsteady and hands still clutching around me "tyler hey shh, you're okay" i mumble to him

we sit there for sometime, eventually he stops crying but we don't move, "are you feeling a little better?" i whisper

he shakes his head no, "oh ty..." i mumble,he suddenly abruptly pulls back, bloodshot eyes looking in mine "go"

i furrow my eyebrows together "what?" he groans tucking at his hair "please go" he whines,pulling  himself away from me

he's on his knees, now with both hands gripping his hair, i sit up in front of him "tyler stop" he turns away from me still groaning

again suddenly theres a silence, he's completely still, its kind of creeping me out and im about to speak but right before i can he moves

in a mili second he spins around smoothly "now...i couldn't help but reintroduce myself to a pretty girl like you now can i"

two red eyes staring right at me, along with whole new attitude, a slight smirk plastered across his face, he holds out his hand "so pleased to meet you dear"

i whip away his hand and, cross my arms "get me tyler back" i say, he laughs "bossy lady! i like it, points for this one clance, ha!" and playfully grabs my arm

its weird to explain but even his touch feels...different, way more hard and cold, i push his arm away angrily

"im serious, leave him alone" i spit

his smirk turns into thin straight line and his eyes darken a shade of red, which makes me feel a shot of fear towards me

"you don't tell me what to do" he hovers over me

i stand my ground angrily looking up at him "i just did, get me him back-

he pushes me over making me hit the ground and he lurks over me straddled above me

his eyes almost burning red

he aggressively grabs my throat forcing me to look at him "who do you think you are! huh!" he yells, his dark deep voice

my air supply slowly running out i struggle to breath he just angrily hangs above me, "ty" i croak

"shut up!" he yells

i place my hand on his chest right by his heart and look him in the eyes, still burning red

"please" i mutter through my limited air supply, and push my hand harder

he starts to blink rapidly again, which is hopefully a sign that its working, and it is, the red is slowly fading and the deep brown returning "this won't be the last time" he murmurs

my vision starts to blur a little and i start to panic, right than, i lock eyes with tyler and in a second he notices whats going on and immediately lets go of my throat

i cough harshly, making my body jerk together, my neck is throbbing and i keep on coughing takes short breaths

after catching my breath i sit up, tyler is seated away from me, looking petrified

i try and come closer but he hand gestures for me to stop "d-dont" he shakes

"what?" i say with a raspy voice, "i told you to g-go" he shakes

is this man for real right now "tyler-

"no....just...just go" he says again

i bite my lip, josh is probably wondering whats taking so long aswell...shit "promise me you'll come back before dark?" i ask

he nods

"you got to say it" i say, he looks up at me

"i promise"
