Chapter 2
"Hurry up! He's getting closer!" Tim was limping, the two men in front of him faster because of his injury. He was tired and wanted to stop, but something told him he needed to get going or else he was going to get him.
"I'm going as fast as I can!" Tim yelled, though it was like he was being controlled by someone else.
"W-w-we are so s-screwed!" The man ticked in front of him, wearing a brown jacket and he realized he was once again wearing his mask, which looked to be cracked.
"I don't want to get caught! Run faster Toby! You too Masky!" The hooded boy yelled, limping slightly. Tim gaped as he realized he was Masky, but his body didn't show what he felt.
"Shut up! I'm going as fast as I can! Maybe I wouldn't have been hurt if you two had actually watched my back!" He yelled, trying to go faster only to cry out in pain, looking down at his leg to see it was bleeding, a huge gash in it. His body suddenly tensed up as a loud screech pierced his ears, very close behind them. "Fuck!"
"M-Masky!"
"Leave him!"
"WHAT?!"
"We have to go! I'm sorry Masky! Fuck!" His foot tripped over a root, left behind in seconds and he stared in shock, wondering why they would do this to him. He froze when he heard chuckling behind him, full of evil and malice.
"Did you think you could escape me...?"
"Fuckity fuck..." He said, surprising him at the amount of cuss words he was using but he didn't turn around, no matter how scared he was.
"Hm... What shall I do for your insolence...?"
"Let me go?" Tim said, his body doing whatever it wanted no matter what he did and he couldn't say what he wanted.
"Funny, Masky... But no. I shall watch you struggle with a mortal life..."
"Try it and die, Fuckface!" Tim's body pulled out a pipe, swinging around and connecting with a black leg. The being didn't move, only laughing at the attempts to harm him. "Why won't you just die!"
"I rule hell... I am immortal." The being said, voice vibrating into the depths of his soul.
"Well! I escaped from hell and I'm not going back!" Tim's body chucked the pipe at the being's face, which he couldn't see in the darkness of the night, before running past the being in the direction of the woods.
"Run run little Masky... I shall catch you yet..."
"Fuck you, you psycho!" He yelled, running/limping faster as he knew if he got to the woods he would be safe.
"Hahahahahahaa!"
The being teleported and grabbed him by the back of the neck.
"The fuck?!" Tim was screaming in his head, freaking out as he was lifted off of the ground.
"Prepare to lose yourself..."
"What are you talking about?"
The being said nothing, only smiling a shark toothed grin. He put a clawed hand on Tim's head, Tim screaming as he felt pain course through his body and the being's face finally came to mind.
******
"AHHHHHH!!!" Tim screamed as he awoke, gasping for air as he realized he was sweating through his shirt, remembering his dream like a horrid memory.
"THE FUCK?" Jeff ran in with a kitchen knife, looking around. "Whats going on? Intruder? Demon?"
"Demon might be right..." Tim said, panting harshly as if he had just did the running in his dream.
"You alright?"
"I... I think I got a memory back... But it doesn't make sense..."
"What did you see?" Tim explained his dream to Jeff, becoming more worried as he told of the demonic creature who told him he would lose everything.
"Maybe that's why I don't have my memories... Maybe they were taken away or they are just blocked..."
"Wow... Gods, that is one hell of a story..." Jeff said, shaking his head. "I still believe you, just... how are we going to fight a DEMON?"
"I don't think we have to find the demon... But I know we need to go to the woods and find those symbols..."
"I will come with you. I don't want you getting lost, and I know the woods well."
"Thank you... I saw those symbols on those two men's weapons in my dream and on my weapon..." Tim said, more of the dream coming to focus as he was more awake.
"Weapon? What was your weapon?"
"A pipe... I kept attacking the demon with it and I ended up chucking it at it's face."
"Wow. Smart."
"All it did was laugh at me... I have to get to the bottom of this... I can't believe it took almost three years for me to finally start doing something."
"I am just amazing." Jeff said, smirking.
"You are... Sorry for waking you up... Do you have to work tonight?" Tim asked,
"I work when you do. I checked the schedule... and changed it to make it so." Jeff said, snickering.
"Good, so when do you want to check the woods?"
"Whenever you are good to go."
"Let's go now... Before work and then we can run to my house so I can change..."
"Yeah. You wanna drive?"
"Drive that magnificent truck of yours?"
"Yes."
"I would be stupid to say no." Tim said, smiling as he got up to stretch.
"It IS pretty cool, isn't it?" Jeff said, chuckling.
"It is... Very powerful also... By the way, thank you for the date last night... It's my first in about a year..." Tim said, Jeff looking at him.
"You don't get out much do you?"
"No... I am a very paranoid person... I never think relationships last long..."
"I plan on staying for a while." Jeff said, smiling.
"Well, then I'm going to try to enjoy that while... Now, let's get going!" Tim said, excited to finally getting around to learning about himself only to have Jeff stop him.
"First, food."
"Dang..." Tim said, wishing for a moment he didn't need it when his belly rumbled causing him to realize why he needed it.
"In the kitchen. Burgers. Go ahead."
"Aren't you going to have some?" Tim asked, not liking to eat alone in front of people when he was the only one with food.
"I was up already. I ate. But... I will sit with you!" Jeff said, smiling.
"Okay."
Jeff led him downstairs, and sat down at the table, his feet up on it.
"Wow...
"What can I say? I am a natural cook... or at least I am now. Living on your own will teach you stuff."
"I'm just happy I have a dog... He eats whatever I cook with no complaints..."
"Like me!" Jeff said, laughing.
"Yeah..." Tim said, taking a bite and he was surprised at how good it was.
"Good?"
"Amazing..." Tim said, sitting down.
"Told you."
"You did.."
"Now, get ready. We are going demon hunting!" Jeff said, laughing.
"I am always ready to find out more." Tim said, getting up as Jeff threw him the keys and he caught them.
"Then let's go, pretty boy!" Tim walked outside into the warm air and went to the white truck that had captivated him the night before and he wondered if he would be able to drive it as good as Jeff could. "Now, turn the lever and lets go!"
"Okay..." Tim turned the key and shivered as the truck roared to life once again. He purred, the truck like a mating call for him, Jeff noticed this and he smirked.
"You like my truck don't you?" Jeff asked, looking at him up and down.
"I think that much is known..."
"What do you like more? Me or the truck?"
"Hmm.... I don't know... I guess you by a little..." Tim teased, Jeff smirking as he leaned closer.
"You can have the truck if you give me a kiss."
"One kiss for this beauty... What's wrong with it? I would at least pay three."
"Oooo! I like it." Jeff said, laughing.
"You want a payment in advance?" Tim asked, leaning over.
"Maybe..." Jeff said, leaning in.
"Then come get it..."
Jeff kissed his cheek, then forehead, then lips, before pulling away.
"You got the truck."
"Naw... You handle it better than me... Besides... You look attractive driving..." Tim said, starting to drive out only to have Jeff steal a kiss on his nose. "Why all over my face?"
"So I can claim your face." Jeff said, chuckling.
"Can I drive now or do you have to claim my face some more?" Tim asked.
"Later. Drive."
"Yes, master.." Tim teased, driving out of the driveway then down the road to the woods.
"So, have you ever been to the woods?"
"Once but... I couldn't go inside for some reason... Like I was afraid..." Tim said,
"Everyone is paranoid of something... I don't like fire."
"Probably because of your past... What province in the woods did you see the symbol?" Tim asked, driving to the edge of town where the woods lay.
"It was deep inside... I was hunting."
"You hunt?" Tim said, parking in a lot near the forest.
"Yeah... Only adult male animals. Like deer. I don't harm does or the babies." Jeff said, nodding.
"That's nice." Tim said, getting out of the large truck and he looked at the forest, finding it hard to look at it without his head hurting for some reason.
"You ok? You want a weapon? I sometimes see wackos go into the forest, maybe cultists or whatever... I have a ax in the back. Take it." Jeff said, looking into the woods with hesitation.
"Are you coming with me?" Tim asked, taking out the ax and finding it familiar to him like he's held one before when that was his first time.
"Yes. Just you need a weapon too." Jeff said, pulling out a butcher's knife. "Just in case an animal attacks you know?"
"Yes, fear my tiny ax of doom!" Tim said, Jeff smiling as it lightened the mood.
"Hahahahaaa! Yess! That's it!" Jeff said, nodding. He snickers, walking towards the forest.
"So, let's go meet with whatever is in there..."
"And stab it in the toe?"
"Sure." Tim said, walking toward the woods and Jeff walked in with ease but he stopped outside the woods as his feet refused to move.
"Are you alright, Tim?" Jeff asked, turning to look at the man.
"I don't know... It's like... I can't go in..."
"Want me to carry you?" Jeff asked, smiling.
"Just pull me in please..." Tim said, wanting in whether or not it wanted to.
"Alright..." Jeff took Tim's hand, and started to pull his body inside, grunting. "You are a bit heavier than you look..."
"You carried me with ease and now you say I'm heavy?" Tim said, stepping in once his feet was able to move and he felt like he just stepped through a portal into a world he's been to before yet totally new at the same time. "This is weird..."
"Heh..." Jeff chuckled at the irony.
"Well, lead the way..." Tim said, gesturing for him to go forward.
Jeff walked forward hesitantly, looking around carefully.
"Are you ok?"
"Just... I don't want anything sneaking up on us." Jeff said, looking around.
"Smart." Tim said, watching behind to look at the truck.
"So, see anything?" Jeff asked, noticing his stare at the truck.
"No... I just... I feel as though I am not allowed to be here yet.. It feels like I should be... That doesn't make sense does it?"
"Nothing makes sense in the world we live in. We can turn back, if you want. Come back later..."
"No. I need to know now..." Tim said, walking forward into the woods and Jeff quickly started to lead him into the woods.
"Very peaceful here, eh?"
"Very..." Tim said, feeling very relaxed as though he was at home while also keeping a tight grip on his ax just in case.
"It's up ahead where I saw the symbol you are talking about..."
"Perfect!" Tim said, excited with the prospect of learning more.
"Why is it so dark in here..." Jeff muttered to himself, before coming to a clearing.
"Is that..." Tim asked, seeing a house with a large symbol over the door.
"Gods..." Jeff murmured, seemingly shocked.
"This is..." Tim said, walking closer.
"Should we knock...?" Jeff asked, curious.
"Sure..."
Jeff walks up to the door, and knocks slowly. The door creaks open and Tim walks up to it, opening the door to walk in.
"Hello...?" Jeff called out, before murmuring something to soft for Tim to hear.
"I've... Been here before..." Tim said, holding his head as he got a headache.
"Have you?" He asks, looking at him.
"Yeah... I.. remember..." Tim groaned before falling as his head ached badly.
"Hey!" Jeff picked up Tim, and looked around. "Maybe we should get out. You are looking white as a ghost..."
"I'm... Fi-" Tim couldn't speak as his head felt like it was full of static, blacking out into the darkness of his mind.
