Chapter 10 ● Darren's puppy ○

Calum wakes up locked in a cage. "Seriously?!" He asks annoyed. "Darren, when I said get me out of that place in my mind I didn't mean for you to stick me in a fucking cage!" Calum says frustrated. "Sorry bad puppies stay in cages" Darren says. "Ugh! I'm not a puppy!" Calum says more annoyed than annoyed.

Calum tries to break the bars in the cage but what he didn't realise is that Darren had put something on the cage that'll make him pass out if he tries breaking it. "Oops! Guess I forgot to tell you that" Darren tells Calum even though he knows Calum can't reply to him.

After around two hours Calum gains back his consciousness. Calum sits up in the cage cross-legged. "Please get me out of here" Calum says pouting. "You know when you do that you look even more like a puppy" Darren says. "Do what?" Calum asks. "Pout" Darren replies.

"I'm bored" Calum says after a little while. It seems as though he's actually starting to get used to the cage now. "Let's play a game then" Darren suggests to Calum. "If it would make me less bored then sure" Calum replies.

"Alright, what game would you like to play?" Darren questions Calum. "I dunno you choose" Calum answers. "You seemed to like playing truth or dare so let's play that again" Darren replies. "Okay!" Calum exclaims. He feels so enthusiastic about this for some reason and he doesn't even know why.

"So truth or dare pup?" Darren asks. "Dare!" Calum replies excitedly. He still has no idea why he's so excited. "I dare you to eat all of this" Darren says and suddenly a plate of dog biscuits appears near Calum. "Eww no" Calum says disgusted. "Come on do it and I'll let you out of the cage quicker" Darren tries to convice him. "If I do it you let me out straight away" Calum replies. "Maybe" Darren responds. "Fine" Calum agrees to do it.

Calum hesitantly picks one of the dog biscuits up and takes it near his mouth. Clearly he doesn't want to do this. "Hurry up there's quite a few in there" Darren says. "I can't do this" Calum replies. "Of course you can silly" Darren responds.

"He still hasn't woken up yet!" Luke says as he's becoming impatient while waiting for Calum to wake up. "Patience Luke he could wake up at any second" Ashton replies. "We've been waiting for hours though" Luke complains. "I know" Michael adds joining in with Luke's complaining. "Alright fine you two do whatever you want I'll wait for Cal to wake up" Ashton gives in to their complaining. "Thank you tell us when he's up" Micheal replies. "I will" Ashton responds.

"Come on there's only two more left" Darren tells Calum as he eats those dog biscuits. "I don't want them" Calum replies. "I won't let you out of this cage if you don't finish them" Darren warns him. "Okay fine" Calum replies eating one slowly and then other just as slowly. Once Calum finishes the empty bowl disappears. "Good boy" Darren says as he watches Calum pass out again.

This time when Calum wakes up he's no longer in a cage but he's tied to a chair with dog leash. Calum finds this really uncomfortable but doesn't complain. "How's my puppy now?" Darren asks. "Not too bad, but not good enough to be good" Calum replies. For some starange reason Calum didn't mind Darren calling him a puppy and also his. "That's good" Darren responds. "Can you like please untie me it's kinda uncomfortable you know?" Calum requests. "No you might run away" Darren says. "I promise I won't" Calum replies hoping this would make Darren untie him.

"Alright fine" Darren says. The leash that ties Calum to the chair suddenly disappears. "How come you've never shown me yourself?" Calum asks Darren curiously. "I'm waiting for the right moment to reveal what I look like to you" Darren replies. "When might that be?" Calum questions. "When I feel the need to" Darren answers. "Where am I?" Calum asks. "You're in another place in your mind" Darren replies. "So, I'm not in the real world?" Calum questions. "You are but your consciousness isn't" Darren answers. "Why isn't my consciousness in the real world?" Calum asks. "Because I controlled your consciousness and sent it to this place" Darren replies.

"Why did you do that?" Calum questions. "Because no one else can physically be in your mind but you" Darren replies. "Then how are you here?" Calum asks him. "Don't underestimate my abilities Calum" Darren says. Calum is confused by a lot of things but decides that he shouldn't ask more questions for now as he's already asked a lot of questions.

"I can take you out of your mind, but I actually prefer you here" Darren says. "It's kind of a bit too lonely around here though" Calum replies. "Well of course you're the only person here" Darren responds. "But you're here too" Calum says. "Yes but I'm not supposed to be here" Darren replies. "How are you here though?" Calum asks. "I forced my way into your mind some time ago" Darren replies. "Oh yeah you did" Calum replies.

"It's so calm here" Darren says. "Yeah and boring, can't you let me pick a place in my mind?" Calum replies with a question. "No it's better if I choose, knowing you you'll probably send yourself to hell" Darren replies. "Hmm seems fun" Calum responds.

"Anyways, I gotta go Calum" Darren says. "Wait, get me back to the real world before you leave" Calum replies. "Sorry no can do" Darren replies. "Why not?" Calum questions. "I have my reasons" Darren answers. "Please I don't want to stay here" Calum says but Calum's too late Darren already left.

How the hell do I get out of here? Calum thinks to himself. Think Calum Think he continues to think to himself. Will falling asleep in here help? He thinks. Calum tries his best to fall asleep on the chair he was previously tied to. He manages to sleep for a little while. He then wakes up to find himself still in this place in his mind. Well at least I tried He thinks to himself.

Maybe if I find myself at the place I was before coming here I'll be able to get out of here he thinks of another plan. Where the hell am I now though? He asks his thoughts. He then starts to look around the room for clues as to where he might be. He looks at the walls but they're all blank; no photos, posters, paintings and not even a calender in sight. He then moves on to search on a table nearby. He looks though random pieces of paper and notebooks and all hoping to find something.
