Night Terrors -(TordTom)

Demons

Tom

"I'm leaving!" I called to my friends who were sitting in the living room.

"Can you grab me a 12 pack of cola while you're out?" Edd called from the other room.

I sighed. "Whatever." I'll probably forget to do that with everything going on though.

I was a little pineapple baby when I was taken away from my parents.

They were experimenting on me, and the neighbors found out. They called child services and they put me in an orphanage.

Over time, I started to notice changes in my body. My eyes turned into pitch black voids and I kept having painful muscle spasms to the point where I would pass out. Other times my body would contort and change into some kind of animal with dark purple fur, horns, and claws. I would scream out for help, but nothing would come out of my mouth except for growls and whimpers.

I tried my best to keep this secret to myself, but its like whatever has possessed me had a mind of its own.

Eventually, people found out and called animal control. I ran away from there and never came back.

I lived in the woods for most of my life when my body would change, but when I was normal, I tried to fit in. I cover up my absence by saying that I'm an alcoholic and going to the bar.

It would sometimes take weeks for me to transform back.

During my longest lasting transformation, I felt tired so I fell asleep under a tree.

I woke up and there was a guy in a red sweatshirt, probably around his 20s covering me up and trying to take care of me.

He saw that I was awake and took me home to his other friends. I've been living with them since then.

But now, Tord's gone. Probably dead from that explosion a few months back. But the demon inside has been restless ever since. I've had to go out twice as much as its usually been.

Maybe its because it's attached to him...

Nah.

I made my way to the woods, my muscles softly spasming.

Something moved in the distance, making me turn.

Probably just a squirrel.

I see a flash of red out of the corner of my eye and turn towards a dim silhouette in the distance. I walk towards it, and it seemed to freeze when it saw me.

"What are you doing out this late?"

"I could ask you the same thing." The stranger gave me the side eye.

Something seemed so familiar about him...

His stance.

His accent.

.........

His hair.

"How the fuck are you still alive?!" I shouted at him, unaware of my pulse quickening along with my spasms.

"I don't know. What the fuck is wrong with your eyes?"

I gave him a weird look. "Dafuq you talking about?"

"They're purple."

I suddenly remembered why I was out here. The spasms getting more painful as I grip the sides of my head. "Oh no. Oh nonononono..."

"Tom? You alright?"

"T-tord! Back away! I don't wanna hurt-"

My body erupted and expanded. My clothes torn to shreds. Horns sprouted from my head, blood poured into my eyes. Now standing where I once stood, was now the uncontrollable monstrosity. The demon inside me.

I could only stand there and watch what Tord would do after seeing me like this. I expected him to back up, but he only got closer.

He reached up and pet my head, having some kind of effect on me. I felt tired. I fell to the ground and passed out.

Tord

Okay, so I kinda knew something was up with Tom before I left. But I wasn't expecting this.

I slowly walked up to the beast and pet his head. It seemed to go into a daze and black out for some reason.

The monster started convulsing and shrinking, turning back into the old Tom. I looked at him and my cheeks flushed red.

Shit his clothes.

I took off my hoodie and put it on his naked body. With all the strength I could muster, I picked him up and carried him to Edd's apartment.

Oh boy. I wonder what kind of trouble I'm in for.
