Lost Alone In The Dark ● Calum Hood fanfiction ○

Chapter 47 ● Time away from the games ○

Cade texts Daphne and Valley to meet him and they set up a meeting at Daphne's house. They all agree on a time and make their way over there.  Cade arrives first and a little while after him Valley arrives too. "What is the subject of this meeting?" Daphne questions him. "It's about Calum and Darren" he answers her. "What about them?" Valley asks him. "Do you want the good news or the bad first?" He questions them. "Good news first" Daphne replies. Valley agrees.

"The good news is that I found out how Darren and Calum know about our plan. They know because Darren stole the identity of a therapist and I helped him do it. Anyways back to how they know, Calum went to the therapist who's actually Dare and he somehow managed to give him the memories back and Calum told him about our plan" Cade tells them the good news. "It's good that you found out, but what's the bad news?" Valley replies and asks him a question. "The bad news is in order to get the information out of him I was forced to make a deal with him that I had to remove all the control I have over Calum's mind and I can't get it back" he answers her. "It's fine, we'll just have to come up with a different idea" Daphne replies to him.

Calum starts to pack his stuff he needs for his trip. He neatly puts almost everything he needs in his travel bag. They are leaving in two days so he still needs to pack the things he's still going to need like his toothbrush, charger etc. I just hope this trip will actually give me a break from this freak and his mind control, stealing my consciousness and games bullshit. Calum thinks to himself.

"A different idea?" Cade asks Daphne confused. "Yes, we can possibly get Valley in his head or something" she replies. "I'm still unsure about this though" Valley replies to them. "I have no idea how to do it and all that" she adds to her reply. "Don't worry Valley, we're all taking a bit of a break from this, you can figure it out during this time" she replies to her. "What am I gonna do though?" Cade asks Daphne.  "You can figure out your brother's next moves" she replies to him. "Okay, but that sounds boring" he replies back.

I just went back to playing the games and now I've gotta stop. Seriously I hate this. Well, at least I get more time to work on my next moves. I don't get why my idiot self agreed to give Calum a break from the games. Maybe I felt the need for it too. Darren thinks to himself. He paces around his room not knowing what to do with himself.

Calum goes downstairs to talk to his friends. "Hey" he greets them. "Hi Calum" Ashton greets back. "Hey Cal" Luke greets back. "Hey" Michael greets back. "Have you guys started packing yet?" Calum questions them. "Yep almost done, you?" Ashton replies and asks him the same question back. "I've nearly finished just need to pack a few more things" he answers him. "I've only done a bit of it" Luke answers. "I've done half the packing" Michael answers. "Do you think that leaving for a while is actually gonna help the Darren situation?" Calum asks them. "We're gonna have to get there to find out" Michael replies. "Yeah, I guess it's too soon to know" Ashton replies back. "I just hope it does" Calum responds to them. "We all do" Luke responds back to him.

"It's alright if you're not willing to get access to control his mind Valley, we don't need to control his mind, we will have to work on a plan that'll work without the mental tactics" Daphne tells them. "Thanks for considering my feelings about this" Valley replies to her. "I don't think I want to work with you anymore Daph, this isn't getting me what I want" Cade replies to Daphne. "That's fine Cade, I didn't need you anyway" she replies back to him. "I'm leaving, I'll see you later" he responds to her. "Bye, don't come back and thanks for the info" she responds back.

I'm done with Daphne. I realised that If I wanna get revenge on Dare this isn't the way to do it. Maybe I could work with Calum I'm sure he feels the same about this; but he wants to get revenge on me as much as he would like to get revenge on him. I guess I could try and see if he would if he doesn't I would just do it myself. Cade thinks to himself.

Cade decides to go to Calum's house. He knocks on his door. Ashton opens it. He is reluctant to let him in. He stands at the door blocking the way to enter in. "Sorry, no untrustworthy people allowed in" he tells Cade. "Can I please just talk to your friend?" He asks him. "No" he replies. Calum then arrives to the door. "Just let him in Ash" Calum tells him. "Fine" he replies stepping away from the entrance. Cade then steps in as Ashton goes to the living room.

"What do you want?" Calum asks Cade. "Can we discuss somethings that involve my brother?" He asks him. "Of course, but only after you prove to me that I can trust you" he replies to him. "I'm sorry for all the horrible things I did to you, I thought it would annoy my brother more than it actually did, I guess I was wrong and I'm not on Daphne's side anymore" he replies to him. "Okay fine let's talk, but this doesn't mean I forgive you" he replies back to him.

"Can we talk somewhere a little more private?" Cade asks Calum. "Alright" he replies and gestures him to follow him. The two of them head to his kitchen and close the door behind them. "You don't want my friends to hear what you wanna say?" He asks him. "I'd rather they don't" he replies to him. "Since I hate my brother and I'm guessing you do too, I was thinking maybe we could team up?" He tells him and asks his opinion his idea. "I don't hate Darren and teaming up with you not a chance" he replies to him. "I can help you get him out of your mind if you help me get revenge on him" he replies back to him. "I can do that by myself thanks and I don't think helping you is worth anything" he responds to him. "Fine then suit yourself, you're not gonna get a second chance on my deal though" he responds back to him. "Not that I'll ever want it, is that all you wanted to say?" He replies to him and asks him a question. "Yeah I suppose" he replies back. "Then you're no longer wanted here, bye" he replies to him. Cade then exits Calum's house.

I guess he didn't wanna team up with me. At least I tried. I need to beware of him though. He's a lot stronger than I thought he was. If he hurts me, I'll have to hurt him worse. And if he doesn't hurt me at all I'll just not pay too much attention to him and focus on hurting Dare. Cade thinks to himself.

Working with Cade of all people is the stupidest thing anyone could do. He's so doublesided and just assumes things about people that are so far from the truth. If I wanted his help for something I would have asked. I don't even trust him at all. I just wanted to hear him out. Calum thinks to himself.

"I can't wait to be away from all these crazy people I thought didn't exist out of their little fictional world" Calum says as he walks in the living room where his friends are. "Me too, anyone who annoys you annoys me as well" Michael replies to him. "I would hate for what happened to Valley to happen to you, so I hope this break helps you get out of this strange situation you've got yourself into" Ashton replies to Calum. "I really hope so too" he replies back to him.
