Seth's pov:
they send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
The house was awake, the shadows and monsters
The hallways, they echoed and groaned
I sat alone, in bed till the morning
I'm crying, "They're coming for me"
And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease
I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?
I paced around for hours on empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds
And I couldn't stand the person inside me
I turned all the mirrors around
I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?
I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead
And I've grown familiar with villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them so I'll never die when I'm dead
I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?
And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?
I turned to my left when Melanie clapped.
"will you make me sing for long?" she has been going on and on about how good I was a wanted to hear more, it was starting to annoy me to constantly needing to do it.
"no this is enough"
I nodded with a sigh and hit the flea bag on the head as he bit my clothing before Melanie hit me on the head as if to tell me I shouldn't have done this.
I grumbled and stood up, making the wolf fall off my lap.
"stay in the house with the other's.... I'm going to look around" I said, resting my axe on my shoulder and walking away...... annoying flea bag trotting after me.
I sighed and rubbed my hand over my face, the more the time to leave approached the more I don't want them too, you need to understand that being alone for years and never being that close to anyone since I arrived here.... I guess I was craving human interaction.
and the worst.... I think that scythed asshole that gave me a haircut, yeah I still didn't forgive her for that, was right dammit.... well half right, I don't want to let Melanie go, I want to keep her as mine.... but a deal is a deal......
I snapped out of my thoughts way to late, fleeing I stepped on something metallic and felt it shift with a click.
I froze, hand slightly shaking as I slowly stared down at the teethed bear trap, I was half happy because I could tell now bone broke even if some of my flesh was cut by the teeth with blood spilling and my other half was like.... well like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!"
I fell back on my butt, dropping my axe and grabbing my leg at I screamed in pain, thoughts clouding my mind, thoughts I can only control by spilling blood, the urge endless it seemed only fuelled by the worsening pain.
flea bag was sadly walking around and whining only making my need for blood worst, I grab the axe and swing at him, actually feeling bad at his whimper as I cut the tip off his left ear, my eyes filled with unusual pity and worry, I grabbed his neck and pulled him against my chest, tightly hugging him as I was actually crying badly for once in my whole time here, it hurt so bad.
he pushed himself out of my hands and ran away as I grabbed towards him, I'm sorry! please I don't want to be alone! come back!
I couldn't stop the tears, such pain bringing me back to that time in the basement of that school, that man jacking off at the sight of our pain, I hate feeling like this, I can't control myself in this state.
I grabbed on the chain hooking this trap to the ground, yanking on it but it didn't move, I grabbed on the teeth and tried pulling it apart but just hurt my fingers and screamed when I let go of the pressure with the teeth digging back even deeper in my leg.
"let's look what prey I caught today"
I heard shuffling and steps, I shakily grabbed my axe and fought myself on my feet.... more like foot but still.... a man looking like those stereotypical bikers came out from between the threes as my vision turned red, losing all control over my thoughts like in that crazy bitch's levelled torture building and the drogues but this time it was just myself and no drogue...... prey you say~?! I'm not prey! haha.... hahahaha.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Melanie's pov:
"calm Melanie, sit down and stop marching in circles you are making me dizzy" Meg said but I was having an off feeling, like something happened or will happen.
"I just don't know Meg; my gut tells me something is wrong"
"you are just hungry girl"
"Stacy you should be the one that gets this the most"
we heard scratching at the door and hid behind the couch the kitchen counter but it continued with muffled whines.
I pulled out my knife and carefully walked over despite Katy trying to hold me back and I opened the door to have a frantic Fearless ran in yapping.
"oh my god sweetie your ear" I said kneeling by him but he ran back out before coming back and barking before running back out, coming back yet again and barking, doing the same thing, looking impatient.
"Melanie stop"
"Katy he wants to lead us somewhere" she was blocking my path out.
"Seth will not be always as patient as she is, she can hurt us if we annoy her by leaving the house again"
"I don't care so step out of the way"
"no"
I shoved her with a small sorry and ran out after the wolf, other's following of course.
as I followed slowly we could hear maniacal laughter getting louder and soon enough I saw it was Seth's, slashing again and again at the body of a man.
"who is the prey now?!?! I'm the boss here!!!!! you are all my prey!!!!"
"Seth?"
she whipped around with wide eyes and huge smile before starting to laugh again, something was not normal, it was like back in the levelled place and the girls noticed that too.
she swung at us making us back away and she tried walking over but she fell forwards with a scream.
I stood up again and fear quickly turned to worry, her leg was in a bear trap fixed to the ground.
"LET ME GO!!!!!!!!!" she screamed, kicking it, making the injury worst and trying to cut the steel but the chain and trap held up "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"let's go!"
"Katy wait, don't you remember she became unstable when hurt back then? it's the same here she just snapped!" I said, pulling Fearless in my arms so she didn't hurt him.... I was now 85% sure she did this to him.
"I don't care we are leaving and you are coming too! I will not risk another injury similar to Meg's" Katy grabbed Stacy's arm and Meg just followed. "come Melanie!"
"no! I won't leave her! leave to the house, I'll come later"
Katy wanted to argue but Meg pulled her away with Stacy.
I stayed alone with this mad blood covered Seth as she screamed bloody murder and kind of bleeding out more with each movement and makes her injury worst.
"Seth you need to calm down"
"I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!" I had gotten closer and was with an axe at my neck as I crouched near.
"go on" I said, feeling the blade press more against my neck but I also felt it shake slight. "go on idiot! do it! break your promise! become the fucking liar you are destined to be!" I yelled with a glare, I know being nice like in our underground trap was not an option and sometime people fight fire with fire. "are you to wimpy to end me?! is that it?! a stupid fucking promise?! I'd kill myself before you weak ass can do it!"
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?!?!?! I'LL BEHEAD YOU!!!!!!!"
"THEN FUCKING DO IT NOW!!! DO IT ASSHOLE!!!" I lifted my chin, offering my neck despite my fear, holding Fearless tightly in my arms.
"ARGH!!!" she yelled, grabbing at her head with her free hand.
"Seth I know this isn't you, I know this is hard and you can't help it but this isn't you! get it through that thick skull of yours! YOU ARE SETH NOT THE MONSTERS IN YOUR HEAD!!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!" the axe hit my head and I fell, it took a few seconds for me to notice it was the side of it not the blade that smashed in the side of my head, meaning I'll have a bruise but not a part of my head missing.
I whipped the blood from my busted lip and sat where I fell, she was grabbing her head and hair tightly, arms shaking with a tense body.
I suck at singing.... but there is one song I know.... a song that I sang with my friends for fun.... a song that fits her.... I think it would calm her down enough I think.
I'm sorry about your parents, they sound like bad people
Your daddy sounds like a jerk
I guess your mama didn't know the gift she got when she got you
I'm sorry about your life, you had it pretty rough
Bending over backwards, never good enough
You poor thing, it must suck to be you
And I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it?
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? that's no way to live
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
I get it, give me a little credit
I remember when I was that pathetic
Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see
Like look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick
You probably have the right to feel how you do
You were mistreated and cheated out of the childhood you needed
And now you'll never succeed if you're so convinced you're defeated
If you're obsessed with your yesterday then you're destined to repeat it
And I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it, is it, is it?
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? that's no way to live
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? that's no way to live
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
she was just staring at me strangely still and calm, I slowly pulled the axe away but she just stared at it, not moving to grab it.
I set Fearless next to the axe and he occupied by biting it's handle as I kneed in front of her, careful with her foot, and gently freed her hair from her hands death grip and held them, passing my thumb over them.
"you did it see? you aren't those untamed urges you have, you are you again" I said gently as she gulped and noticed old and new tears on her face, it's so unusual for her always smiling half creepy half cute look.
"it will hurt but you need to help me open this trap" I carefully grabbed the axe and passed it between the two sides of the trap, kept open by her foot. "I need you to stand and put your weight on it or I can use your axe as a lever to open it"
she still said nothing, strangely silent and stare-y..... if that's even a word, though she did as told, those unusual tears I hate rolling down her face and actually hugging the pup to her chest for any type of comfort.... as if she was the little kid from before the accident.... it broke my heart.
I started pushing the axe to the side and pressing down on one side as I pressed on the other with my own foot.
I grunted as I could barely move it.
Seth let Fearless climb on her back and leaned down to pull on it with shaky hands, it helped a lot I since she's much stronger then I was.
finally, she could pull her leg out and we let the trap snap close as she sat down on the ground, grabbing her leg in pain.
"I have bandages from that man a while ago, I'll wrap your leg now, at your home I will stitch you back up okay?" I said calmly since she was most likely in shock right now and I didn't need her fainting right now, she nodded a little.
I put the axe on her belt where she always hooks it and helped her up, standing on her hurt side with one of her arms over my shoulder and one of mine around her waist, she hid her face in my neck as I slowly helped her walk back.
"can you sing it again?" I heard her whisper really softly, almost didn't hear it but nodded and before I could stop myself kissed her head.
"of course" I blushed red as I did as tell while leading her away.... seems this time you are the one needing to be kept safe.... I'll gladly do it....
