Sick Is the New Sane

Andy

(andys POV)

I was later discharged from the hospital about a week after I saw Harley and Belle. I had gone back to my touring life with my band and all but I couldn't stop thinking about where Harley was. I knew she was being held captive by the prophet and I felt like I had to get her back here, with me, where she was safe. I still felt nervous staying at my house alone, so I had Ashley stay with me for a while. At night my nightmares had become a lot better and I could finally sleep through the night. That is until he came back.

It was late on a Tuesday night I was just watching some random batman show that was replaying on TV. Ashley had gone out to get food and he said he would be back in an hour. I was starting to feel a little paranoid with the quiet and being alone. Soon I began nervously pacing the house, scared to look out of any windows. Don't panic. Don't Panic. Don't Panic

There was a flash outside and suddenly the whole cities power went out. The whole house was pitch black and so quiet I could hear my heart beating quickly in my ears. The TV began to flicker and go static.. I went into the kitchen to get a flashlight and light some candles. Ashley needs to get back soon.....

I opened the cabinet and grabbed the flashlight that was sitting there and flicked it on. I tried to flick on all the switches but none of them worked. I walked into my room to try to find another flashlight or anything. I jumped as I walked past the mirror. "Andy chill your shit, its you." I said allowed. I began to stare at myself and make silly faces at myself to show my stupid self that it was just me. I noticed that my face began to morph slightly. My hair began to look longer. Dark circles around my eyes began to form. What in the world?

"That's not you Andy." A voice inside my head like a screaming whisper said.

I realized who it was and I slowly backed away from the mirror. The face began to get closer and a hand stuck out of the mirror.

"What do you want! Leave me alone!" I screamed at the demon who was now climbing out of the mirror.

"Well hello there Andy." He said in a demonic voice.

"Where is she?"

"She's safe with me. Infact....I think she loves me."

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

"I'm not in your head, son. I'm right here."

"Why do you keep coming to me!"

"I just want you to come home." He grimly smiled at me

"I'm never coming to your side!"

"Suit yourself. By the way, the longer you wait, the more she becomes...mine"

He flashed his razor sharp teeth and flashed his wings then he was gone.

The power flickered back on and I heard the TV come back to normal. I walked back into the living room and saw Ashley come through the front door.

"What the hell was that?" I asked still sweating and panicked.

"What was what?" he said setting the food down on the counter. He looked up at me and freaked out. "Oh my gosh Andy, you look like you've seen a ghost!" I just rolled my eyes

"Wait.....you didn't see the huge flash, and how the whole cities power went out?" I questioned.

"What are you talking about Andy..."

"THE PROPHET WAS HERE ASHLEY!"

"Andy calm down, you're seeing things again, and i'm sorry I had to run out for a little, I think you just get yourself really worked up over this prophet thing."

"No he was right here! I saw him with my own eyes! The wings! The!-"

"Andy, I think you just need to eat your dinner and just relax. Whatever you think you saw, I guarantee you were just imagining things."

"He's my father Ashley! He's trying to kill me!"

"No. Your father is Chris Biersack. He always has and always will be. I don't know where you are getting all this from."

"I saw my mother! She came to visit me in the ICU. Her name was Belle! She was so pretty Ashley!" At this point I was kind of mad the he was not listening to me

"No,Andy you mother is Amy Biersack. Not some girl you saw in the hospital. Ok?"

I just sighed and shut up. I can't believe my own best friend would deny me.
