Lost Alone In The Dark ● Calum Hood fanfiction ○

Chapter 57 ● I shouldn't have stayed here ○

I'm an idiot.... why did it take me this long to figure out that Dr. Gudfeels is actually Darren? Why didn't I leave as soon as I realised this? Do I really need to talk to him like he claims I do? Would it make me feel better? Would he do something to me? I hope not... Calum thinks to himself.

"Cade you can come out now" Darren tells him. Cade then leaves his hiding spot. "You're here too? Ugh I'm in hell!" Calum tells them. "Stand near the door Cade we need to make sure he doesn't leave until he sits down so you can lock it as soon as he does" Darren requests his brother. "Sure" he replies walking towards the door guarding it. "Take a seat" Darren demands Calum. "No" he replies back annoyed. "Do it or I'll put your consciousness in my mind like last time" he threatens him. "Fine" he replies to him taking a seat on the couch.

Cade then locks the door and takes a seat on the couch as well. "You needed to talk to me so talk" Calum tells Darren. "You can't get rid of me" he tells him. "Of course I can" he replies to him. "No, you're weak and you can't stop me" he replies back to him. "Just cause I'm a human that doesn't mean I can't fight you off" he responds to him. "You can try but you'll fail everytime, a human can never win a fight with a vampire, I learned the hard way" Cade tells Calum. "That's cause you didn't have help" he replies to him. "Valley and Daphne won't help you get rid of Darren" he replies to him. "How can you be sure about that?" He asks him. "Shut up Cade let me do the talking" Darren tells him. "Okay, okay I'll keep quiet" he replies.

"Was that what you needed to talk to me about?" Calum questions him. "Nope, I just wanted to say that, I bet you're wondering what happened to the real Dr. Gudfeels well Cade and I killed him, didn't we Cade?" He replies to them. "Yep he's dead" he replies to him. "Okay, so, you killed him and stole his identity?" Calum asks Darren. "Yes, I did" he replies. "I'm leaving Dare, I'll see you later" Cade tells him. "Bye Cade" he replies to him. "Bye Dare, bye Calum" he replies back. "Bye Cade" Calum replies as Cade leaves.

"I want to turn you again, but you wouldn't be the vampire I want you to be again so I won't" Darren tells him. "That's great, I don't want to be the vampire you want me to be" he replies to him. "I think we should go back to the old games, what do you think?" He asks him. "Nope I don't like that idea" he replies to him. "Do you feel like you're to blame for last night?" He adds a question to his reply. "Not at all that was all you pup" he answers him. "Why did you kill the real Dr. Gudfeels?" He asks him. "I knew you were going to go a therapist and I couldn't let that ruin my fun" he replies to him. "Are you trying to make me feel more guilty by telling me you killed him because of me?" He replies to him. "Nope, I'm not, but if you do feel guilty that's good" he replies back.

"You know I'm so annoyed you drank the potion, I was having a great time with you as a vampire, I thought we could end up being friends" Darren tells him. "I'm glad I drank the potion I never want to be your friend" he replies to him. "What do you say we stop all my games and just be civil with each other?" He tries making a deal. "I would say yes but knowing you, I say no, I don't ever want to see you ever again" he replies to him. "Why are you so mad at me about what you did?" He replies a question for him. "Cause you were the puppeteer and I was the puppet and I hated that you made me do things I'd never do and become someone I wasn't; you made me into a monster" he answers him. "But you had fun, didn't you?" He replies to him. He just keeps quiet. "What? Cat caught your tongue?" He asks Calum curious as to why he ignored him. "No, I'm not going to answer that" he replies to him. "I'm going to take that as you did" he replies back victoriously. "Even if I did, I would never want it to happen again; I felt nothing, I didn't care, I could've hurt more people than I already did" he responds to him. "I know you want to be a vampire again, you were always meant to be a vampire Calum" he tells him in a genuine tone of voice.

Could he be right? Am I supposed to be a vampire? No I'm not supposed to be a vampire... Just the way he said it made it seem true. Why am I even questioning this? What's gotten into me? I guess I've been around this fool for too long. He's messing with me like he always does I should leave. Go back to clearing my head again. I don't need him trying to coerce me into becoming a vampire again so soon... I only just became human again for heaven's sake. Calum thinks to himself.

"Why do you seem to be thinking so deeply?" Darren questions Calum. "Cause I am" he answers him in an obvious tone of voice. "What about?" He asks inquisitive to find out about it. "Just about how I shouldn't be here" he replies to him. "You leaving?" He questions him. "Yes, didn't I make it clear enough?" He answers him and asks him to confirm that he got what he was saying earlier. "Yep clear enough" he replies to him. "Good, I'm outta here, bye" he replies back to him. "Bye" he responds to him. Calum then leaves the dead therapist's office.

Calum goes back to the park. He just walks around taking in the outdoors breeze and scenes. He feels like he really needs this as a good break from everything that happened recently. He did have it a few hours ago too but that was only until he was disrupted by that social media post. Once he feels like he's had enough of his break he goes back to his house.

"So, you ready to tell us about what happened while you were a vampire?" Ashton questions Calum. "There's a lot more than just that to talk about" he answers him. "What do you mean?" Luke asks Calum. "It means I have more to discuss since I figured out something else while I was out" he replies to him.
