Love's bullet

Part 3

When he woke up his head felt like it had been hit with a sledgehammer and his vision was covered with a red tint he decided to try and wipe whatever was on him, off. When he did, he found that it was blood, hid blood. Mikey couldn't remember how he had cut his head but then he remembered losing his consciousness, he must've hit his head on the sink. He wiped most of the blood off with his shirt, he could finally see, but when he saw where he was he immediately knew he needed to get out of there, he was in a large circular room with many pillars, it was candle-lit, made out of stone bricks most were cracked up and mossy, hinting it was a very old room, maybe from the medieval ages, he couldn't see past maybe fifteen feet he thought. Once he got his bearings he stood up and grabbed a candle off the wall so he could see better. He started walking to the pitch-black area behind the pillars, he got about 3 feet from crossing into the darkness when he noticed a figure approaching, no it wasn't just a figure, there were so many he turned around to run only to find he had been surrounded by at least seventy figures, all wearing crimson robes, their hoods covering their faces. Mikey was scared, he froze with pure terror. He focused his attention on a little gap forming between the, what he figured to be, cultists and somebody came from the gap, it was about average height, a little husky, it wore a black robe, instead of the crimson red everybody else was wearing and it had a black mask, which nobody else had, it must've known that Mikey was a mute, because he pulled out two journals, they looked like they had were wrapped in leather, and a pen, when Mikey grabbed the journal and pen from the figure, the journal felt like no other leather Mikey had ever felt before, he thought to himself, "Could this be human flesh?", but he ignored his thought and wrote "Why am I here?". The figure wrote back, "You are like us we have been watching you for some time now, we can provide you with what you want". Mikey responded with "What? How long? Did you mess with my pills? And what do you think I want?" The figure wrote only one word down, "death". The figure tore off the page and gave it to Mikey. Then wrote down, "Join us, but never mention us to another living soul, we are everywhere, we will know, if you join, we will give you 2 years until your...expiration date and throughout the remaining time of your life we will give you whatever it is you need and want, but only if you make a blood pact to expire when you are told and do exactly what we need you to do". Mikey considers the offer and after a little thought, he nods his head in agreement to the pact, the figure pulls out a sacrificial knife and what looked to be a large locket, the figure took Mikey's hand and cut into it, scooping a few droplets of blood into the locket and the figure cuts his hand and does the same. Mikey then feels a sharp pinch in the right side of his neck, he had been injected with something, he passed out.
