Demons - Imagine Dragons Horror

Demons.

I ran, constantly yelling his name.

"DAN, DAN, WHERE ARE YOU?" I screamed as my voice echoed through out the forest. I knew they all shouldn't have had the extra drinks, it was a terrible idea. As I headed back to camp yelling Dan's name continuously hoping for at least a sign he was still around, I bumped into Aja who was also calling for him. She was half in tears.

"We'll find him, don't worry" I whispered as I put one arm around Aja's shoulder and looked around to see if he was anywhere to be seen.

"We should really get back to camp. Everyone's probably twice as worried as we are. Also, Arrow probably needs comfort." I comforted Aja as we walked amongst the twigs and dirt.

She nodded whilst tears slowly trickled down her face.

    Nothing was going well. This camping trip was supposed to help the band become more close before the Smoke+Mirrors tour came out since we had parted our own ways for a while. Never did I think it could go wrong. It didn't make sense. Wayne and Dan had never argued like this before, well never at all. Ben kept suggesting if it was the odd few extra drinks we all had, as I had thought myself. It all just didn't make sense. Anyway, we would soon sort everything out since I started to see the camp fire light beaming through the trees. As soon as we got there Aja ran over to Ben who was keeping hold of Arrow. She hugged her for comfort as they both sat on a log together.

"Where's Wayne?" I asked Ben.

"He's in the tent." Just as I was about to walk in Ben stopped me. "I don't think that's a good idea Daniel." I pushed past him and went into the tent anyway seeing Wayne in the corner with his guitar.

"Wayne? Are y-you o-okay?" I stuttered whilst edging my hand over towards Wayne's shoulder.

"Do you want to hear a song?" Whispered Wayne in a creepy like tone. I didn't want to reply, or even hear a song. Either way I was still curious so I said yes.

The second his hands touched the strings on the guitar I knew what song he was playing, Demons.

"When you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it's where my Demons hide, it's where my demons hide" Chanted Wayne as he spluttered out the words. What was going on? This had nothing to do with the drinks, you could just tell. Even by standing a few ft away from Wayne's presence you would have felt uncomfortable. This wasn't right. I slowly started to back away but every step I took Wayne tilted his head and moved with me. Getting closer each time. His eyes glaring right back at me, blood red. Suddenly he jumped out at me pinning me to the floor yelling my name repeatedly.

"DANIEL, DANIEL, DANIEL" Which was soon interrupted by the sentence "WAKE UP"

I gasped for air and looked around. Aja, Ben, Wayne and..Dan? Were all looking at me as if I had just seen a ghost, which I was pretty sure I had.

"Dan you're here? And..Wayne? What happened?" I panted trying to catch my breathe.

"Yes I am here? And we were just going to ask you the same thing. It was as if you saw a demon or something ha ha" Said Dan trying to get some kind of humour out of the situation. I froze. This didn't make any sense. What had I just seen? Was it real or fake? I started to panic. At this point Dan noticed me starting to breathe more heavily and my face turning pale as snow.

"Um, well it was probably just a bad dream right guys?" Suggested Dan whilst signalling everyone to agree. You could tell he wanted to make me feel better, but I know what I saw.

"Anyway, let's all play Daniel's favourite song to calm him down, hopefully you feel better afterwards " Wayne got out his guitar and said '1,2,3 go.'

Before I could hesitate, the lyrics of Demons was being sang. It used to be my favourite song until now.
