MONSTERS WITHIN

Chapter 12

Peter laid on the ground, in pain, his face stinging from the knife being dragged across it, he slowly got up and looked in the mirror, and saw the wound, and immediately broke down. "...go-god save me...I..I don't know how long I'm gonna take this...." Peter sighed and walked out, as he did the bell rang, and he moved to the side to let other students pass. Tren moved by him and he immediately turned his head, "..hey petey...are you okay?" Tren asked, peter was hesitant, but he slowly turned his head to show the still bleeding cut on his face, with tears in his eyes he hid his face again, "...i d-don't..k-know.." tren put his hand over his mouth and gasped, once the hall was clear, peter got up and walked off. "w-who did this?!!" Tren exclaimed, Peter clenched his fists and turned around swiftly, "YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHO THE FUCK DID THIS!!!!" Peter yelled at the top of his lungs, tren stood up and had a terrified expression on his face, "t-tren..I'm..I'm sorry...I..I didn't...." Without words peter turned around and bolted out the door, "PETER!!!" Tren yelled from behind, but peter ignored him and kept running. A few minutes later peter made it back home, peter ran inside and slammed the door, and saw claw marks etched in the wood, he shook his head and ran up to his room, he threw his backpack at the ground with a loud bang, he ran into his bathroom and locked the door. He turned his head to see a dried blood note on his mirror, "I WILL BE BACK - CHARLIE" "...no....nononono....NO NO NO NO!!!!" He grabbed the side of his head and cried, he ran out of his bathroom and into his room but then tripped, he winced in pain and looked at his foot, it looks worse than before, he stared at his leg for a minute. "...w-what..th-the hell happened to me?"

------------------

Later that night tren sat at his dinner table, still upset over what happened earlier, "...it's...it's all my fault..." He thought, the silence was broken when his grandmother walked in, "...have you fed Mandy?" She asked, "..n-no...not yet..." Tren said a bit afraid of what she said, "ugh well do it already!!" She yelled, "god, you do nothing around here!!" Tears were coming in fast, but tren tried to hold them back, he got up and fed his cat Mandy, then he walked upstairs and went into his room, Mandy followed him in, he shut the door, and placed his back against the wall, and slid down, and cried. Mandy was a bit confused why tren was sad, so she rubbed her head against tren's hand, "..g-go away Mandy....." Mtren said softly, Mandy meowed and tilted her head, and kept on doing it, "..Mandy I said go away!" Tren exclaimed, now raising his voice, "...l-look Mandy....I'm sorry....it's just...things have been hard for me...I broke up with my abusive ex...I..I think my new lover doesn't want anything to do with me...and now...we have my grandma's bullshit to fuckin deal with...." Tren explained, with a few tears falling down, Mandy walked up and licked his face. "..heheh....thanks Mandy...I don't know what to do without you..." Tren said petting mandy's head. He petted mandy's head for a couple of minutes, then fell asleep, with mandy right by him.

-------------------

A few hours later tren wakes up, he looks at his clock and saw 11:23 flashing on his clock, "..huh...I should be getting in bed..." He thought, he got up and stretched a bit, but then heard a crash coming from downstairs, "...what was that?" He said to himself, he opened the door very quietly, he slowly walked down the stairs, trying not to make a sound, he heard footsteps walking around the dining area, as he got to the first floor, he crept slowly to the dining area. And was met with a horrible, and gruesome sight, His grandmother, crucified on the wall, ribcage wide open, and her eyes missing, and jaw ripped off, tren screamed and ran to the body, he backed up as he saw the blood written words "DID YOU A FAVOR, YOUR WELCOME" tren fell to his knees and cried hard, "FUCKING HELL!!!! ...WHY?!!" Even if tren hated her, hated his grandmother's guts, he was destroyed, and was devastated. He heard heavy footsteps behind him, and was met with face to face with the same monster who killed the other victims, he smiled as he laid eyes on tren, "...nice wall decor, no?" Charlie said with a sinister grin, "..y-your..your the c-cause..the cause of..a-all of these...m-murders.." tren said with his voice shaking, and tears in his eyes, "...murders? ..HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! WHO SAID ANYTHIN ABOUT MURDERS?! I'M JUST A HUNGRY BASTARD!! HAHAHAHAH!!" Charlie exclaimed, "..s-so..your not...killing for fun?" Tren said still horrified at the beast, "...well...I am a cannibal after all....you may call me Charlie!! At your service!" He raised his hand up and put it near tren's face, "..well? ...this is called a handshake...you shake hands as a sign of hellos and nice to meet yous!!" Tren backed up and stood up, "I'M NOT GONNA SHAKE YOUR HAND WITH A BITCH LIKE YOU!!!!" His wings opened up and he flew past charlie, "WAIT!!!- ...grrr....DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!!" Charlie yelled, he paced around the dining area, and stared at tren's Grandmother, "...hmmm....what would you do? ... probably yell at him...and bitch at him at the littlest of mistakes!! Hahahahah!!!" Charlie said looking at the body, "..y'know...your meat? ...really need to be more tender...it's so bad! ... probably because your 60 something years old....HAHAHA!!! I kill me!" Charlie said with a smile across his face, "...heheh...I know......go back for petey? ...of course...it'll be delicious-i mean delightful to see him again!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" Charlie's laugh echoed through the night, tren flew through the sky as he heard that laugh, he cried and cried while flying, he wiped his tears away, and saw Peter's house, "....this is where I need to go..." He thought to himself, he swooped down and landed near Peter's house, tren went to knock on the door, but couldn't. Tears fell down from his face a bit when he thought of his grandmother's decapitated jaw, and her gaze less stare, literally cause she had no eyes. He couldn't just knock on the door, so he flew off, away from Peter's home, and into the city.
