My Plus One: The Devil

Two Peas in a Pod

"Either you're taking this very well or you are in awe with my beauty that I've left you speechless". The stranger/ dog-man stated as he put down my bra.

I slowly blinked at him.

He slowly winked back at me.

....

"I'm hallucinating." I mumbled to myself.

"Well I'm flattered that you think that I'm so good-looking that I couldn't be real" The stranger patted his chest, "Really makes me all warm and fuzzy inside".

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, letting it out slowly before reopening my eyes. I looked to where the stranger had been standing and he was... gone?

What on earth is happen-

"Boo!" I squeaked as I scrambled out of my bed to see the stranger lounging behind where I previously was sitting up.

I felt my heart rate speed up as reality- or whatever this nightmare was- began to set in.

I heard a wolf whistle and looked back at the stranger to see him looking appreciatively at my bare legs.

"I really enjoyed that strip tease you gave me last night by the way. You just know how to give a man inspiration for his dreams".

My eye twitched. I looked to my drawer beside my bed to see my phone lying idly on top. I looked back at the stranger as he watched me with interest.

I gave myself a quick pep talk and lunged for my phone. I reached out and grabbed onto ... absolutely nothing? I looked down to see that my phone was no longer on my drawer.

"Calling 911 probably wouldn't be your brightest idea Olive." I whipped my head to see the stranger now sitting on my chair in the opposite corner of my room. He held my phone in his hand and began to randomly scroll through it.

"W-what. How?"

"I'm just saying; you calling 911 about a dog-turned man will win you a one-way ticket to the insane asylum." He shrugged. "Oooh Fruit Ninja, been a while since I've played that!" He grinned as he began to fiddle with my phone a bit more.

"How do you know my name?" I barely contained my voice as I began to get frustrated.

"Really Olive. Look at your wall. Let's not play dumb now." He tsked, focusing his attention on the game in front of him.

I looked to my wall and saw my name in bold white letters propped up on my dressing table. I pinked at the realization before turning back to the dog-man-thing in front of me.

My sanity was slipping as I tried to wrap my head around everything that was happening. So far this is what I've collected:

1. The dog that I took in last night turned into a man

2. This man was looking through my delicates and is now playing Fruit Ninja on my phone

3. I may be an unconscious drug addict and did acid in my sleep last night. Resulting in these vivid hallucinations.

"I can practically hear  those rusty gears in your head begin to turn. Be careful not to hurt yourself." The stranger said as he put my phone down.

I shot him a glare. This arrogant prick that thinks he can jus-

"And could you please cover up a bit? My not-so-little friend is getting some ideas" He tapped his crotch before shooting me a smirk.

My anger seemed to have erased the frustration and confusion I was feeling moments ago. I ground my teeth together as I stood up and went back to my bed to use my duvet to cover my legs.
