Mr.Bloodbath

Chapter 8 Demonology

October 7th, 2017-Caleb

Caleb watched as Theo tossed and turned in his bed, blood pooling from the wound in his arm. "You sure that this is normal?" Caleb asked looking Reaper. "Yes, this is completely normal for a Hell dream." Reaper replied. All of the sudden Theo stopped moving, and blood started pooling from his chest.

"What's going on?" Caleb asked in concern for his friend. "Why did he stop mov...." His voice trailed off as Theo started shaking, like he was getting hit with bullets. Ten seconds later, he stopped moving, and blood started flowing from ten different areas on his torso.

"Why did he stop moving?" Caleb continued.

"We need to stop the bleeding, or he'll go into cardiac arrest," Reaper replied. "Go into the bathroom, and see if you can find some gauze!"

"I thought you said this was normal!!!" Caleb shouted as he walked down the hallway.

He was five feet from the bathroom when the hallway started twisting and distorting. Caleb turned around to see Mr.Bloodbath walking down the hallway. This isn't real, don't pass out, Caleb thought. THIS ISN'T REAL!!! He staggered and fell into the wall, which seemed to distort like a trampoline. "STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEAD!!" He yelled. "GET OUT OF MY MIND!" Caleb fell to the ground.

"Haha! This is just like Vertigo," Mr.Bloodbath said cheerfully. "Ah, comic book references that mainly nerds will only catch."

Mr.Bloodbath squatted at Caleb's side. Caleb looked up at his face, only to see his own bloodied face and wounded torso. "What is real?" Wounded Caleb's lips moved but Mr.Bloodbath's voice spoke the words. At that instant thousands of Wounded Calebs appeared and started laughing maniacally. The Man squatted back down, this time with his own body. "See you soon, honeybunch!" He said, then disappeared, and the hallway went back to normal. Caleb stood back up and walked into the bathroom.

He looked in the mirror and saw the words "HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, BUT I HAD TO USE THE TOILET, 'WHEN A MAN'S GOTTA GO...' AND ALL. (PS: YOU'RE OUTTA TOILET PAPER)" written in blood on the glass. Caleb just opened the cabinet, trying hard not to laugh. He looked for the gauze for a minute before he realized it wasn't in the cabinet.

"HURRY UP!!" Caleb heard Reaper yell. "Someone is DYING here!!"

Caleb closed the cabinet and squatted down next to the cupboards. Opening the cupboard, he found the gauze and quickly grabbed it. With no time to lose, he ran down the hallway as fast as his legs could take him. Rushing into the bedroom, he saw Theo seizing on the bed.

"When did that happen?" Caleb questioned, handing the gauze to Reaper. "It just started not to long ago." Reaper answered. Reaper unrolled the gauze while Caleb pulled Theo's blood soaked shirt off. Reaper applied an antiseptic and started wrapping the bandage around Theo's chest. The process was difficult due to Theo's seizing. Once they got the bandage wrapped, they applied pressure to the wound until the bleeding stopped.

At the moment the bleeding stopped, all the wounds seemed to magically heal. Theo sat up, his green hair sweaty and sticking up in 5 different places. "What happened? Why is there a bandage on me?" He asked. "You might wanna- never mind," Caleb said. Caleb and Reaper both sat down and told him the story.

"...And that's why you are in that bandage," Reaper finished.

Theo laid back, devastated. It looked like the details of the fight just started to come back to him...
