Love me, Love me not? (A AstroXDandy Fanfic)

6. Left in the dust

GORE AND VIOLENCE WARNING ⚠️

After a few minutes, i took my hand away from Dandy. However, i felt his grasp tighten around my wrist and try to keep me there.
If he wakes up, I'm screwed... I try to remove his hand with my magic gently, but he doesn't budge. Who has such a strong grasp while they sleep?!
Taking the risk, i quickly dislodge Dandy's hand off my wrist with my other hand, silently walking back.

I couldn't be so lucky though. Dandy woke up and rubbed his forehead sleepily. I tried to run away, but Dandy already saw me.

"Shit... Did i forget to lock the door?"

"Uh... Yeah! But i stood here and made sure no one came in!" I try to make an excuse.

"Hmmm.... Show me your hands." He demanded.

Scared, i approach Dandy while discreetly wiping my hand on the inside of my blanket, praying the colorful staining all came off.
I show my hands, but the color was almost all still there. I froze in fear when Dandy smiled and stared right at me.

"I guess i do have to punish you after all." Said Dandy before getting up.

I felt like i saw a red shine in his eyes.

"I'm sorry! You were... I just-" i began stuttering.

"No excuses."

Dandy picked up one of the large bottles of what seemed to be Ichor. He was obviously struggling to hold it up. The bottle was held above him and he began drinking it. Once it was finished, Dandy dropped it and he fell to the ground.

"Are you ok..-" i tried to say, but i got interrupted.

"This is your headstart!" Said Dandy, breathing heavily as he began twisting.

I stared in horror as Twisted Dandy growled and lunged at me. I quickly tried to exit the room, but Ichor vines were blocking it shut. I ran to the other side of the room, attempting some kiting.

"Accept it, there's nowhere to run!"

I whimpered as i kept running, my stamina quickly draining. I had nowhere to hide.

"Enough playing around." Said Twisted Dandy before snatching me mid-sprint in his giant claws. I tried to struggle out.

He squeezed me tight. I felt like i was going to pop. Twisted Dandy had the ability to kill me straight away, but he didn't. He intended to watch me suffer and hurt slowly.

"I'm sorry!" I said weakly.

Twisted Dandy watched me struggle with red eyes, glowing with evil.
I noticed Pebble watching the scene in fear. When i looked at him with despair, he ran towards Dandy and tried to pull him away.
Pebble tried everything: biting, pushing, ramming, but Dandy didn't budge.

Right when i felt my consciousness slip away, Twisted Dandy let me fall to the ground, hitting my head against the concrete.
I noticed that his claws left large marks on my arm, the open wounds leaking with Ichor. I couldn't feel the pain because of my adrenaline, but it would surely hurt for months.

"What a waste of precious Ichor." Said Twisted Dandy, growling as he began switching back to his normal self.

I fearfully covered myself with my ripped blanket, trying to stop the Ichor from leaking as the pain settled in.
I couldn't even get up. Not only from the fear, but also from the terrible pain that took a hold of my entire body. What would the others think, seeing me like this?

I forced myself to stand up, my legs trembling and my head feeling dizzy from the fall. The puddle of Ichor below me was very slippery, which only made it harder for me to walk.

"Did i say i was done?" Asked Dandy from behind me.

He placed a big cup in front if me. It was full of Ichor.

"Drink it. All of it." Said Dandy.

"You're... You're twisting me?!" I asked, full of fear.

"No questions. Drink it NOW." He insisted.

I hesitantly picked up the cup, anxiously moving it to my mouth. I took a deep breath and began drinking it. It tasted horrible: like a hot, thick tar with a strong metallic aftertaste. How could Dandy chug down a whole like... Gallon of this?
I felt no change in my body, luckily. The sharp pain was still there though, my wounds were still leaking.
