MONSTER!! - A Tale Of Darkness

Beelzebub

Luigi laid on the floor. Large numbers of disturbing drawings were scattered around him. They depicted all the eerie, gruesome things he sees, the things he's sure are there, even when part of him says they aren't. Shadowy figures standing on his furniture, sometimes staring down upon him,

Sometimes pulling their guts out.

He wasn't sure of what came over him, but he had been obsessively drawing gorey scenes, scattering them around with little thought. He dared to close his eyes, only to be transported immediately.
He felt as if he couldn't breathe, and everything around him seemed like he was underwater.

Bloodshot eyes stared at him as he floated in emptiness. All he could hear was what he assumed was his own breathing. An uncontrollable feeling within tried to control him, wanting nothing more than to laugh, but all his body produced was a choking silence,

And hopelessness.

Luigi tried to take a breath, but nothing happened. Suddenly, his entire body was drenched in sweat, and the breathing sounds that surrounded him inescapably became faster. His hands slowly reached his throat, a choking horror taking over. He shut his eyes again, his heartbeat becoming audible, beginning to consume him again.
-"Let me help you..."- the devil whispered.
His body became tense, but only for a moment, as all the strength within him left his body,

In that instant, he fell limp, like a puppet with nobody to pull the strings.

-"Let me help you..."-, the voice repeated, though he could have sworn, this time, a second, identical, yet quieter voice said at the same time,
-"Let me control you..."-
His hands began to hold the sides of his head. A horrible headache filled the void of his thoughts, the choking feeling in him became worse. He could taste blood in his mouth, but he didn't know why. His heartbeat became louder.

Never before was he so powerless.

Tears fell down his face, his jaw clenched. He felt as if something was holding him, or perhaps someone. He shook uncontrollably. His eyes remain shut, however he was sure something was tying string to his arms, legs, and neck. The sound of breathing became unbearable. He tried to wrench free, but he couldn't, almost as if something was stopping him,

Or he was no longer in control.

In the midst of this maddening time, he had one thing comforting him, a softer, silent breath against his face. Though it didn't pry him free from the horror, it seemed to make things slightly better.
After long, he finally stopped moving. He couldn't open his eyes again, the overwhelming breathing and the violent heartbeat disappeared. He only lay motionlessly in the arms of someone he couldn't see.
Green eyes appeared in the darkness behind his eyelids, but only for a moment. After that, he awoke, smiling slightly. He moved his hand in front of his face, and calmly looked around.

"Finally."

He said softly, getting on his feet. Only then, he heard ths screaming of the Toad Luigi had taken captive. He laughed to himself, running his claws through his hair. "This will be fun."
