Demons - Imagine Dragons Horror

Deal.

"Daniel, is that you?" I woke up. Dan? I quickly scanned the room. There was really nothing much to see besides old stone tiles for the walls and brittle wooden floorboards. One grimy window in the far corner with what appeared to have red hand prints stained onto the glass. Cracks between bricks of the wall with plants poking through the gaps. Not only that but there was barely any light in the room, the only source that lit the place up was a dully lit light bulb that flickered from time to time.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked, gaining conciousness. I tried to move my hands but realised that they were still tied from when Aja wrapped the rope around them before. Whatever the hell happened in that hospital is still confusing me.

"I don't know. I've found myself here ever since the nose bleed." Dan replied whilst looking at an old wooden door in the middle of the wall. That must be our exit.

"Wait, what exactly happened after you had the nose bleed? You just woke up here or did you see anything?"

"No. I woke up in this hospital bed and was randomly greeted by my wife followed by Ben and Wayne. What happened to you? Or was that just me, or are you even real?" As Dan said this he attempted to crawl away but the rope keeping his hands prisoner stopped him.

"Relax, I'm real. But Aja definitely isn't."

"How dare you say that, she's my wife. How would you like it if I said-" I interrupted him.

"No. Your wife is Aja. Not whatever the fuck that thing is that's taken over her. Dan, it's taken over all of us. Considering we're here having this conversation I assume Aja and that lot are somewhere else doing the same as we are."

"You can't just assume things like that." He said. Dan looked somehow offended when I accused Aja. In all fairness I don't really see why since he had had experienced weird things with her to, weird 'paranormal' like things. Either way, believing me or not, I was getting out of here alive and stopping whatever creature was taking over Aja's body.

"You're right, I cant. But judging from the facts we have it is clearly obvious that something is up with her. She came in my bed the other night-"

"WHAT! I don't want to hear any more, sleeping with my wife? Is that how you want to play Daniel? Is it?"

"For fuck sake Dan, just shut up for one second. She came in my bed because she was scared, scared that you weren't there with her. We slept back to back that night and then when I woke up everything went weirder. Turns out it wasn't even Aja. And that's how I'm here, after waking up in a hospital bed and being greeted by her moments later, just like it had happened to you. See, it all adds up. Don't deny it Dan or I'm just going to leave you here to rot with this place."

No reaction. Nothing. Not even eye contact.

This was probably too much for him to take in at once. How the hell did he think I felt? Seeing most of this happen is terrifying and not considered nice...To be quitehonest I didn't even want to leave him here to rot, I only said that since I thought I would get a reaction out of him somehow. Didn't work.

"Listen, sorry if I'm being hard on you and all but."

"Yeah. You are."

I sighed. "Anyway, we have to find a way out of this place. When we do we're going to find the real Aja and I can here the words 'Sorry Daniel, you were right and I was wrong.' Now is it a fucking deal? I'm swearing, I barely swear, only if it's needed. And I'm pretty sure experiencing half the shit we are is a good enough reason for you."

It took a while to get a response out of him but he finally obliged.

"Deal."
