Inner Demons

Chpt. 3

Of course Sean hadn't heard it but Matthias shook his shoulder and he looked up

Matthias pointed to the door and began walking over.

Sean got up and followed quietly "Mark..?" Matthias said quietly "What the hell?!" He ran over.

Sean followed quickly, just noticing Mark sitting against the hallway wall "What the fuck just happened-"

Matthias shook his head "Weren't you just at your place?"

Mark nodded "Where are we now..? How the hell am I even here"

Matthias groaned and flopped back onto the floor "This is stupid"

Sean giggled a little, moving out of Matthias's way. Mark chuckled as well before huffing "That's still not an answer-"

Sean looked over to Mark when he saw his mouth moving, trying to read his lips so he could respond but he was never very skilled with that. "You teleported, and we're at Jack's place" huffed Matthias, sitting up

"That's-" Mark furrowed his brows, his gaze never left the wall in front of him "I'd say bullshit if it wasn't the only reason that fits-"

Matthias chuckled a little "Exactly, but that's how I got here, supposedly, so that's what I'm running on" he stood up, offering Mark a hand

"Sean? You okay?" He stood up on his own, as if he couldn't even see Matthias's hand "You're being really quiet"

Sean smiles a nodded, hoping it was the correct response

"Sean-"

"I'm fine-" he huffed a little

"Okay, let's go sit in the recording room" Matthias suggested, walking back towards the room with the pair following him.

Mark had walked behind the other two, his hand pressing against the wall until he found his way to the Recording Room

Sean plopped into his chair and spun it a bit, Mark leaned against the wall and Matthias slid down onto the ground with a huff "So-" Mark mumbled

"What's that?" He asked, pushing himself off the wall and walking over to the desk

Sean looked at him blankly before spinning around to see what he was pointing at; but when he realized what it was he was just a bit too late.

Mark stayed quiet, his eyes were squinted as if he couldn't see the words on the paper; and in fact he couldn't.

While Mark could at least see some things at the time for the most part since when he'd gotten up he couldn't see anything at all

Cue Matt getting up and walking over to give an excuse

Sean looked like a confused little kid, he looked between Matthias and Mark without knowing what to do or say "Uhhh we were bored-" Matthias covered

"Again, with the lies"

Matthias groaned "Alright Sean your turn" and he spun around, Sean glared at him, not knowing what he said but knowing he had probably just given up on excuses

Sean shook his head and rolled his chair over to the other side of the desk; he picked up the paper he'd written earlier and handed it to Mark

Mark fumbled for the paper "I-" he stared up at Sean blankly "I cant read it" he mumbled

"What-?" Matthias sat up "Agh whatever, Sean can't hear"

Mark furrowed his brows and turned towards Matthias, following his voice entirely

Matthias looked up and sighed "When I showed up he was In he middle of a breakdown or something and after it passed he couldn't hear anything" he informed

Mark hummed

Suddenly a shriek sounded from Sean and a thud Of him falling off his chair "I'm good!" He shouted "Wait" he looked over at Mark and Matthias, just leaning his head back "Say something-"

"Uh-" Matthias and Mark looked for something to say "Tits" Mark chuckled

Sean shook his head, getting up he grabbed a marker and erased Mattias's message  'I thought my hearing was back for a sec' he wrote, spinning around and sliding onto the floor.

Mark hummed and Matthias grumbled a little "Matt?" Mark looked over to what he was pretty sure was his positioning

Matthias shook his head, rubbing his hand along the corner of his mouth.

His hand came off red.

He didn't know how much blood was in his mouth but he didn't want to accidentally spit it all over the carpet by talking so he just left the room quickly and made his way into he bathroom, he spit into the sink

Mark followed, Sean shortly after; they arrived just in time to see and hear Matt spit a mouthful of blood into the sink and rinse it down.

He wiped off his mouth and groaned a little "You okay?" Mark walked over to Matthias, putting a hand on his shoulder

Matt shook his head weekly, a hand on his forehead

(Oh yeah and I never said this- I'm using 'Old Matthias', back when he looked like he was twenty, didn't have a beard or anything and was a lot more- eh- playful, I guess)

"Alright, well let's-" Mark stumbled a little and groaned, putting the bottom of his palm on his forehead and furrowing his brows "Sorry, back to the recording room" he finished, shaking his head a bit and helping Matthias.

Then something changed

-=-

Amy huffed "What the hell is he doing" she grumbled "I'm gonna go make sure he didn't pass out or something" she sighed, following where Mark had left to

Only she couldn't find him, anywhere

"Guys- hes gone-" she said quickly, running back into the room

"What do you mean 'He's gone'?" Tyler

"I mean he's gone- like I can't find him, I think he left"

The small group spent the next twenty minutes searching around the house and just outside "I swear Mark if this is some kind of joke I'm gonna kill you!" Shouted Amy through the house

Suddenly there was a loud thud from the hallway
