The Boy With Open Eyes.

Chapter 16: Everyone Loses their Mind

Third Person

Another argument between Father and Grandpa that Ted cared not to hear anything of.

Ted had finally gone to sleep after having a four hour argument and yes four hour argument over scones and cookies. There was some things thrown here and there and few punches yet it was nothing new between the two of them. He won so it paid off and he went to his room in the castle that his dear friend made for each of the three friends when he became king and let them live there at the castle with him. He stepped into the nostalgia like room to tired to look around and went right under the covers falling into deep sleep instantly.

In dream

Ted was in a room with his friends but they were younger? He noticed he was sharing a dream with them as Martin and Shane were aware and happy to see S. His friend S(Cooper's Dad) was there like if he wasn't dead but just there laughing with them and their teenage tomfoolery. S turned to Ted giving him a warm smile like he always did when they were teens. Ted felt happy to be talking to S

"What are you thinking about right now?" S was smiling while Shane and Martin turn to him as well wondering as well.

"I feel like all this will be a distant memory one day that I'll remember before one of us dies or when I die" Ted saw Martin and Shane nod but S looked at him.

"Well let this be a good memory as death may not make you forget all about them..they'll always be there somewhere" Ted's heart hurt.

After chatting for a while Ted noticed S was being quiet and solemn for a while.

"You three know that if you keep coming back here you won't ever be able to leave? It would suck for you to be stuck so I'll get you out but please thank my 'husband' for letting me bleed out for two days" Said S to the three and in the blink of the eye S was covered in dry blood and his legs and arm being stitched up.

The three didn't know how to respond then Ted woke up from bed covered in sweat and tears. S was dead so how did he know that they were dreaming of him? Ted decided that he would remain awake even if it was a quarter to 4 in the morning.

Shane and Martin both were as scared as Ted at the dinner table during breakfast and they knew all three of them dreamt the same thing. They were disturbed to know the truth on their friend's husband as they knew he was bad but doing something as inhuman as that was disgusting. Their guards would be up around the man who let their friend to die painfully for two days straight. Ted and Shane weren't on the best terms since last night ad the argument on whether scones or cookies are better got a bit out hand, all they can say is a chair or teacups were thrown during the argument.

Father had to clean the whole thing up which took two hours to do, Mercury left to go to a meeting that's 10 hours away on plane so he had to make a trip.

It took a while but the three very disturbed friends got over it but did take note of what their dead friend said to them in the dream. The three friends thought they would go see those little gadgets that the second to youngest child males. They stepped in after knocking on the door for permission to enter and the room was filled with gadgets and robots with blueprints sorta nailed to the walls. In the middle was Cooper who seemed to be looking for some bolts in his draws full of different parts yet to find them. The three friends looked at the gadgets that had a packet attached to them explaining what they do and what not to do with them, ect.
