Losing control

Dennis woke up the next morning, still holding Casey close, she was still fast asleep. Dennis admired her, he still couldn't believe that she was here with him.
He never let himself think that anyone would want him, a combination of his foul habits, ugly scars and his inability to actually communicate with anyone , on top of the fact that he had DID made him adamant that he would never find anyone who would ever love him. But as impossible as it seemed, he had found that person.
Dennis thought back to last night with a shiver remembering the nightmare that had tortured him last night, he hadn't had one for a while, turned out his mind was just biding it's time before trapping him inside one of his worse memories.
Dennis had gotten Kevin into trouble at school when he had gotten into a fight with one of the bullies there after he claimed Kevin was hitting on his girlfriend, Kevin got a nasty blow to the face before giving the light to Dennis, he started fighting back but got a bit too carried away. The result ended up with said bully ending up in hospital with a broken jaw, a broken arm, bruised ribs and four knocked out teeth, along with two of his mates. Kevin ended up with a weeks worth of detention, it would have been more but Barry managed to sweet talk the teacher, they promised that they would make sure his mum never found out.
However when they got home, the school had called her and told her everything, she was furious, as well as drunk, which added fuel to the flames. Dennis took the light just in time as a whiskey bottle came flying towards them and hit his back, she grabbed him and threw him across the room, grabbing a sharp hanger and driving it into his skin, he didn't usually scream during her torture, but this was the first time she used a hanger to cause him pain and it hurt. By the time she was finished Dennis was a bleeding, crying mess on the floor, before he was dragged by his hair, when he had longer hair, and thrown into a wall in his room as his mother, slammed the door behind her.
The others tried to console him, but he was just frozen in pain and fear, the others were shocked especially Kevin, they had never seen Dennis in such a state. It wasn't just what his mother had done but it was the fact that Dennis had caused it to happen.
He knew that he would have got beaten regardless of what had happened at school, but his actions meant that it was ten times as bad.
Dennis shook his head trying to shake away the memory instead of slipping into it.
His nightmare had completely left him on edge, luckily though, Casey had been there to bring him back to the present and away from that dark past. He didn't like feeling weak in front of people, he was supposed to be stronger than that, but with Casey he felt more comfortable opening up.
She didn't judge him, she didn't even care that he started crying she just held him and reassured him. He really didn't deserve her but she still chose to stay with him, and for that he was extremely greatful.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when Casey stirred in his arms,he turned to face her and saw her heavy eyes staring up at him.
He smiled "hey" he greeted. Casey stretched before replying
"Hi" she whispered coming up to kiss him. Dennis returned it but was still caught up with his own thoughts to focus on it fully, Casey sensed this and pulled away, looking him in the eyes.
"What's wrong?" She asked
"Nothing just, thinking about some things" Dennis replied
"Do you want to talk about the stuff going on in your head?"
Dennis shook his head "not now, I, I need some time, to figure things out alone first" he decided.
Casey didn't look convinced but didn't push it, before she could say or think more on it Dennis distracted her with another kiss, pushing her down on the bed as they made out for a while.
Dennis worshipped her, making her feel like a goddess , he sucked and nipped the skin, Casey made small moans, as he rose up to her neck however, he bit down hard, making Casey yell out in pain
"Dennis, stop, it's too much" Casey panicked, but Dennis just ignored her and carried on pushing his whole weight onto her. Casey started to panic then.
"Dennis, please, I can't" Casey spoke a bit more fiercely and pushed his shoulders.
To her shock though, it wasn't Dennis's features she was met with, she realised with a shock that she was staring up at The Beast.
"Hmm, you taste good, I can see why Dennis likes you so much" he growled, his black eyes staring down at her with an insane grin. Casey shivered at his voice as she quickly scrambled away from him.
"What are you doing here?" She stammered.
The Beast chuckled before saying "Despite, what Dennis might think I am the one in charge"
Casey breathed shakily, frozen in fear, unable to speak.
"You don't need to fear me, you are pure, you are more evolved so no harm will come to you, your friend the detective made it very clear that you needed protecting, but remember that we still have a mission of our own to complete and we will not tolerate any distractions" The Beast warned.
Casey nodded before asking "What is your mission?"
"All in good time, pure one, just remember what I said" The Beast warned before giving the light to Dennis again.
Dennis gasped as he felt The Beast's presence retreat back to the train yard he resided in.
He stared at Casey, who was still looking scared at his surprise visit, Dennis slowly moved towards her.
"Are you alright?" Dennis asked, Casey nodded her head slowly before asking
"What happened?"
Dennis sighed, saddened that she still felt on edge "I don't know, he just took over, I'm sorry, if I scared you" Dennis hung his head in shame. Casey lifted his face up to face him
"It's fine Dennis, I'm fine, I know you won't hurt me" Casey comforted him
"I don't wanna risk it" Dennis breathed
"Dennis, I know what I signed up for and I don't care, I love you and that's all that matters to me" Casey replied.
Dennis nodded before she kissed his forehead "Let's go get something to eat, take our minds off of it" she suggested.
"Okay sounds good" Dennis smiled "Casey...thank you"
"For what?"
"Being here for me, it means a lot" Dennis whispered.
"My pleasure, Dennis" Casey answered.
They got changed and headed downstairs.
