The Demons Lost Mark.

~: 3 :~

Dallas' POV

I breathed a sigh of relief when I started my truck and headed home. The rest of the way my thoughts were filled with him. His eyes, his hair, everything about him stood out and I was stupid enough to not get a name. Ah its fine i'll probably see him around town. But come to think of it I've never seen him in town before.. Maybe he's new? Or maybe he is like me and doesn't leave the house unless he has to.

But still, something about him seemed familiar and kept nagging at me. "Okay stop. just stop, you're overthinking it. He couldn't be, it was just a dream and there is no way that's him. He was nice and considering the nightmare has you tied up and getting tortured I highly doubt its the same guy." I tell myself pacing my living room. My guts telling me to look into it but i'm skeptical. Oh well i'll head to bed gotta be up early anyway. I walk upstairs to my room and change into my Fall out boy Pajamas and hop in bed. I glance at the clock and it flashes 4:30 A.M, might as well try and sleep.

I tossed and turned for hours and my mind kept racing about the stranger from today. I sat up and put my head in my hands in defeat, I've got about 20 minuets left if I wanna sleep. I laid back down and felt myself drifting off to sleep.

I hear a faint beeping noise and open my eyes, i'm not in my room. Hell, I ain't even in my house. This is all too familiar but its not the same room that I see in my nightmare, the walls are made of brick and the floor is concrete. I get up out of a chair and try to find some way out, after searching the room for awhile I found nothing. No windows, no doors, not even a misplaced brick. I hear footsteps behind me and I turn around to see nothing. I hear laughing echoing the room, it keeps getting louder and louder but there isn't anyone here but me. I cover my ears as it gets louder then end up in a ball on the floor, the laughing giving me a headache my eyes tear up and I shout "All you're gonna do is laugh? You wont even show me your face! I'm here why don't you do what you have planned? Are we too scared of a girl to do a damn thing to her?" as the last word left my mouth I was instantly back into the chair with restraints around my arms and legs.

"Now, since you've decided to finally say some words to me maybe its time I say a few to you. First and foremost, you will not shout at me in that tone again. Are we clear? Secondly, you've evaded me for three years. Three. Damn. Years. Now Id like to know how you did so? If it's not the answer I want then you may have a bad time with me. But i'm here to make your experience as painfully enjoyable for me as possible. So please enjoy your stay and I'll be seeing you real soon Dallas."

And with that he was gone. Just poof gone. Here I am stuck in this chair trying to figure out what the hell hes talking about. Evaded him for three years? What is he talking about? Is this even a dream? No it can't be it feels too real to be a dream. But in my nightmare its always the same sentence not a drawn out conversation.

I shot up out of bed sweating and breathing heavily. So it was a dream. Thank god. I climb out of bed and get ready to head to the store and gas station. I'm putting my boots on when I hear a knock at my door. Weird, i'm not expecting anyone. I shout out "Just a minute" and finish lacing my boots. I open the door to be greeted by

Him.

The stranger from yesterday. How did he find my house? Its pretty isolated granted I live down the road and never even knew someone lived in that old house but whatever. I don't see a vehicle anywhere besides my own so he must have walked here. But why?

"Hey, I came to get my gas cans. It seems I put them in the back of your truck without realizing it and I need to fill them for my generator at the house."

"Oh umm sure thing. Oh wait actually I'm heading into town right now, if you want I can fill them for you. Its the least I could do since you let me use them yesterday." I said the last part without even thinking. Why? I don't know but it is the least I could do.

"Well if you don't mind. Could you? It would help me out so I can get a few other things accomplished."

"Sure I don't mind at all. When they are filled do you want me to drop them at your house or you come and get them?"

"I'll just come pick them up if you don't mind."

"Alright then its a date." I said with a chuckle. He looked at me confused. I mentally facepalmed myself, why'd I say that? "Never mind" I said under my breath and headed to town.

Darks POV

Well then that was easy. I wonder how well she's been sleeping..

I doubt well since now I have more control in her dreams. Today was to give her a taste of whats to come. After today she will never be the same.

I smirk,

"I'm gonna have fun with this one."
