Man-Eater | Dan and Phil fanfic

Chapter 7: black and depressing

Dan had stared at the black goop in the container for at least 30 minutes now. He wasn't sure what it was really. Dan had previously spent hours on end on his computer looking up "Black Goo" but couldn't find anything. He actually felt like giving up at this point. Dan opened the container and poured the liquid into his hand, he thought that maybe touching the goo would help him figure out what it is was. Instead of being and actual liquid like it was before it had turned into this silly putty like substance. Dan knew he should be grossed out but he wasn't, he was too worried to feel sick. Dan looked down at his hands to discover that the black goop had stained them. He shook his head and put his head down on his desk he was sitting at.

"What am I going to do?" He asked himself.

Dan sat his head back up and had an incredible yet crazy idea, he decided to go out into town and check out some magic shops to see if anyone knew what it was. He stood up, grabbed his coat and checked on Phil's "lifeless" corpse. Dan started grinding his teeth in anger, he knew the demon was just lying in Phil's body just waiting to emerge from his unholy slumber, ready to attack him.

Dan shook his head and closed the door slowly, making sure not to wake up "Phil" or whoever that thing was in Phil's body.

Dan ran downstairs out of the apartment complex without realizing the man coming up the stairs was non other than Mortimer Tracy, the owner of the apartment complex. He was going up to check up on everyone's rooms including.....Dan and Phil's.

Dan walked down the busy street of London, watching people go on with their everyday lives. They all seemed normal, peaceful even. Where Dan here was dealing with a demon controlling his best friend's mind and body. He wasn't even sure if Phil was even alive anymore, he had died right or was that the demon making him think that Phil was dead. Why did it want people to think Phil was dead, so it could go around killing people free of charge...or did it actually kill Phil and now the demon had full control.

Dan shook the thoughts from his mind as he finally found a magic shop, it was a creepy little shop with a neon sign that said "Manson's Magic Emporium," The steps creaked as Dan took to the steps and opened the door. The simple wooden door creaked and he walked inside.

"Hello, Is anyone out there?" Dan cried out.

The whole place was deprived of sound until he heard a faint voice coming from behind a curtain in the back of the shop where out stepped a tiny middle-aged Asian man.

"Welcome my name is Manson, how may I assist you?" He asked smiling from ear to ear

Dan coughed loudly and grabbed the container from his jacket pocket and showed it to Mort.

"Do you know what this is?"

Manson got wide eyed.

Manson brought Dan to the back and set him down in a chair connected to a table, Manson sat down across from Dan as well and gave him a nod. Dan handed Manson the container and he looked at it with an intense but scared stare.

"So do you know what it is?"

Manson looked up at Dan, "This came from the mouth of the possessed am I correct,"

Dan nodded slowly not saying a word.

"And the possessed one is your best friend right?"

Dan's jaw literally hit the floor, " How did you know?"

Manson wiggled his finger back and forth, "Uh, uh a magic man never reveals his secrets,"

Dan shook his head, "Can you tell me what happened or how I'm going to cure him?"
