Lost Alone In The Dark ● Calum Hood fanfiction ○

Chapter 17 ● I can't deal with this ○

"Why do you need my blood?" Darren asks Cade giving him a weird look. "It's for a spell" Cade replies. "Oh alright" Darren responds. Cade passes Darren a syringe he took out of his pocket. "Your choice" he tells Darren going back to Calum's neck. "Don't!" He shouts to Cade as he gets into his vampire form. Darren pulls his shirt up a bit and injects the syringe into his arm drawing blood from his body. "There you go, now let go of Calum" he replies passing the syringe to Cade. "Thank you" he replies dropping Calum, and Darren rushes to catch him before he hits the ground. Cade slips the syringe back into his pocket.

"Get him home safely" Darren requests Cade gently passing Calum to him. "Okay" he replies to Darren taking Calum from him. Darren then leaves. Cade then takes Calum back to his house. He knocks on the door. Michael opens the door. "Who are you?" Michael asks. "I'm Cade here's your friend by the way" Cade replies shoving Calum into Michael's arms leaving Calum's house.

Michael gently lays Calum down on his couch. Calum slowly wakes up. "Mikey, what happened?" Calum asks Michael. "Honestly I don't know Cal, all I know some random dude named Cade just brought you back here" Michael replies. "Oh okay" he responds.

Calum has a really bad headache. He lies back down on the couch just wanting to rest hoping that would make him feel better. It doesn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Calum's at the nightclub again; the one near his house. There's something different about the place though. It's too quiet. It's normally the most social and loud place in town. Calum looks around the place. He's shocked at the scene in front of him literally everyone in the nightclub have vampire bites on their necks and are completely drained of their blood. Who did this? Darren? Cade? Valley? Calum thinks to himself.

Then Valley steps in from wherever she came from and goes to the bar area she pushes Leo's dead body away from the counter. "Valley, what happened here?" Calum asks her. "You're not asking the right questions Hood" she replies. "What do you mean?" He asks. "The question you should be asking is 'who did it?'" She replies. "Fine, who did it?" He questions. She doesn't say anything but just points in his direction. "Me?!" He asks surprised.

She nods. "The evidence still exists on your face" she adds. He doesn't believe her. He gives her a look of disbelief. "You still don't believe me?" She asks. He shakes his head. "See for yourself" she responds.

He swipes his pointer finger in spot in the middle of is lips and chin. He then stares down at his finger. He sees the blood on it. He then takes his phone out opening his front camera. He stares at his reflection and sees the same red substance all around his mouth. "No! No! No! NO! NO! NO!" he screams. His breathing getting heavier and quicker.

"Hey Calum, you're okay, you're okay" Ashton reassures him in a calm voice gently rubbing his back to comfront him. This action wakes Calum up. "I-I killed a room full of people" Calum replies. "What? When? I don't think you did it was just a dream Cal" Ashton responds. It was a dream? It felt so real... it felt like it actually happened Calum thinks to himself. "I guess so" he responds not wanting to tell Ashton what he was really thinking. Ashton gives Calum a confused look. Calum looks away signalling he's not in the mood to talk about it. Ashton then just goes back to what he was doing before he started making sure Calum's alright.

"Aw poor Calum" Cade says. "Cade?" Calum questions. "Yes it's Cade, I thought it'll be fun to play my brother's game" he answers Calum. "So, that's what you did to me" he replies to Cade. "You got in my head too" he adds to his reply. "Bravo! You finally got it" he responds to Calum.

"You--" Calum starts to say but cut gets off by Cade making him lose his voice. "Sorry but I don't want to hear that" Cade replies. Cade gives Calum his voice back and sends his consciousness to his mind but with one of his own thoughts not Calum's.

Calum looks around this place it's completely beige colour all around it seems like a box. Suddenly red liquid is spilled in the box. Is that blood?! His thoughts scream to him. More and more blood is thrown in the box filling the box until it's full. He can feel himself drowning in the blood. He finds it suffocating under all the blood. The box then begins to collapse with the weight of the blood in it. Calum feels like he could die soon.

Cade pulls Calum out of his mind before he actually dies. Calum rushes to the bathroom as soon as he's out of his mind knowing he's gonna end up coughing up blood from being in that awful thought. He does cough up blood in his sink. He knows the blood he's coughing up is not his; and that's what disgusts him the most. He runs the tap washing away all the spitty blood quickly not wanting his friends to see it.

"That was disgusting, what were you thinking?" Calum mutters. "I just wanted to have a little fun" Cade tells Calum through his thoughts. "Fun for you maybe, definitely not fun for me" Calum replies. "Both you brothers think that messing with someone's thoughts is some kind of game; but it's not, do you both ever think that I'm actually getting hurt by your 'games'!" He adds shouting a bit. "Damn he snapped" Darren replies. "Oh wow! Hello to you too Darren" Calum responds.

"Where have you been all this while?" Calum asks Darren. "Cade's powerful  control over your mind was overwriting the control I have over your mind and I couldn't even talk to you until you shouted that which helped lose some of Cade's control" he replies to Calum. "Oh okay" he responds to Darren. "I bet you watched what I was doing to him on the sidelines and found it so entertaining" Cade tells Darren. "Maybe I did" he replies to Cade. "You both are so annoying, you know?" Calum says to them. "Me? Annoying? What are you talking about?" Cade replies to him. "You're like one of the most annoying people I've met" Calum replies to Cade. Cade gets really annoyed with Calum for saying that. He makes his head hurt. He starts it with a mild headache but after each minute he makes the headache a little stronger.

"Ouch! My head hurts! Please stop it!" Calum screams in pain. "Nope, not gonna happen" Cade replies. Cade makes Calum's headache much more stronger than it already is making Calum fall into unconsciousness.
