Nightmare // Ashton Irwin

Chapter 8

I stared at Ash with wide eyes and backed up to the opposite wall in the small closet. "Wh-what?" I managed to get out as I continued to stare at him.

"The boy I told you about was a demon and the devil sent him out to find a soldier. Basically, I have to kill everyone who the devil wants dead. He takes control of my body. I can see what I'm doing but I can't do anything to stop it." He said as he continued to look at the floor. I couldn't even have imagined what he has been through.

"Ash you have to tell someone. Maybe like a priest could help you or something. But we need to get you help." I said as I started pacing back and forth in the small space. Ashton grabbed my hand and looked up at me. A flash of red went through his eyes. He pulled me down so I was sitting beside him.

"L, there is nothing I can do about it except try to fight it. I can't control when he takes over, he just does. Back there with the guard, he tried to take over. But when I saw you, it's like he just was gone." He grabbed my hand and rubbed his thumb over my knuckles.

"Maybe I will just have to be with you all the time then." I looked up at him.

"Yeah, maybe."
