DHMIS: Aftermath

Chapter 1: What Have You Done?

Manny sat at the table in his usual seat. He poured himself some tea and the kettle began to quiver and shake. He felt his hand shaking and noticed his teacup was also shaking. All of a sudden they grew eyes and mouths that were smiling. "I there, friend!!" They said together, friend being said with creepy exaggeration. Manny screamed and threw both the kettle and cup across the room. They hit the wall, shattering and exploding with blood, surprisingly considering they were glass.

Manny shook, memories of the teachers flooding back. "Tony....Paige...." He started whispering his friends names while hugging himself, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Colin....Gilbert..." He started saying the names faster and louder while rocking back and forth in his chair. "Steak guy, ShrignoLD, HARRY, ROBIN!!" He was screaming in between sobs now, eyes gushing tears. "DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE!!" He puts his hands to his face and sobbed. "I'm scared.."

He felt a hand on his shoulder and screamed, flailing his limbs in all directions. "Hey, hey! This isn't the time for screaming and crying! Those things are only for when someone is dying!" Manny gasped at the ryhmes and slowly turned around. He was surprised to see Tony, the motherfucking talking clock, standing behind him.

He screamed again, making Tony take his hand off Manny's shoulder to cover his ears. "Quiet, child!!" Manny stopped screaming and just stared. Tony sighed. "Well, now that that's over with. I'm here to help you." Manny shook his head and got off of his chair, backing away from the clock.

"There's no need to stay away. I won't hurt you, no one will today." Manny's back hit the wall. "Yo-you should be gone! Every one is, r-right?" Tony stepped closer. "No, no. That's not how it goes." "Does that mean there's a happy ending?" "Who knows!" Manny noticed himself participating and shook his head. "No rhymes!!" Tony held his hand out. "Come! Your friends are waiting! We need to get you there before you start fainting." Manny looked at his hand and shook his head again. "M-my friends are all dead..." Manny felt a tear fall from his face as he spoke those words.

Tony's eyes widened and he slowly pulled his hand back. His voice became quiet but deeper and slightly creepy, like how the kettle and cup spoke. "What have you done..." Manny felt dizzy and fell to the floor hard. His vision was blurry but he saw colors that looked like Tony bend down to him. "You are next, for your time is up...you will be visited again once you wake up..." Manny was swept into darkness.
