In A Different Light

The Sleepover Part III

Picked up from the end of part two.

"Of course, they're still alive, Eddie. It's just...all of this stuff that's been going on..." Joan started.

{Beverly turned the sink water on and waited until it was warm water coming out. She then put her hands under the water and washed the blood off of them. Beverly splashed some warm water onto her face and started rubbing her face to get the blood off.}

“Can...can we go in there?” Eddie looked over from the bathroom to Joan.

Joan put a hand on Eddies shoulder. "Are you sure you want to?"

He shivered a bit. “They looked like they needed help before I...passed out.” He shook his head and furrowed his eyebrows, then cleared his throat. “Anyways, lets go help them. I’m sure I won’t faint again.”

He stood up and fixed his shorts from running up. He watched as Joan stood up and immediately latched onto her arm as they walked to the bathroom door.

Joan patted Eddies back and slowly walked back to the bathroom before knocking on the door. "Beverly? A-are you okay?"

Eddie lifted up his foot and pushed on the doorknob so he wouldn’t have to touch it with his hand. It slowly creaked open and he couldn’t help but shiver at the sound.

As Joan spoke, Beverly heard her and replied with, “Yeah, I’m okay." After she spoke to Joan, she went back to cleaning her face off. She saw her hair dyed a deep red and touched a part of it. She sighed and let the water run under her hands and fingers.

Joan took a deep breath before walking inside the bathroom, trying to focus on Beverly and not the blood covered walls around them.

Eddie stumbled back a little bit at the sight. “What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck.” He mumbled. “I’ll-I’ll be right back.”

After a couple of minutes and a lot of rustling around, he came back with grocery bags taped to his shoes and a whole lot of Windex wipes. He smiled a bit and hesitantly stepped into the bathroom.

Joan couldn't help but chuckle at Eddie. She took some of the Windex wipes and got to work.

Did I forget to say that he also had a clothespin pinching his nose? “Ew.” He whispered as he wiped the walls.

Beverly walked to Eddie and grabbed a Windex wipe then walked to a wall that wasn’t being cleaned and started wiping the blood off.

Joan hummed softly as she scrubbed the blood off of the sink.

Joan checked under the cabinets and spotted a scrub brush. She smiled and pulled it out before running it over the sink faucet. "Bev, what else happened?"

Beverly looked over at Joan as she continued to clean the wall. "After I flushed the toilet, I heard some voices coming from the drain. I walked to the sink and I pushed the plunger inside it, and when I pulled it out, blood and a black string covered it. The black string wrapped all around my body. It was pulling me closer to the drain and then the blood shot up and covered me and the whole bathroom.” Beverly was shaking as she told Joan what happened; word by word.

Joan stared at Beverly, her mouth agape. "Holy shit...a-are you hurt?"

“I don’t know, yet." Beverly replied.

Joan slowly looked back to the sink. She peered down the drain. "Do you think anything is in there?"

Beverly walked to the sink and looked in the drain with Joan. “I think it’s gone now...”
