(Tom POV)

I find myself in a dark atmosphere. I look around and see that I am standing on...nothing? I'm standing on a solid ground that is empty.

"Welcome, my host," the voice from before said. I whip my head around in the direction of the voice. I see...me? How cliché. It looked like a shadow me. In my shape, but dark gray and black for my— it's hair. It also had some extra features. Small horns portruded out the top of its head. It had sharp, wolfish ears, reminds me of elf ears. It had large paws replacing my hands and feet, complete with huge claws. Lastly, it had a scaly tail with feathery fur plume at the tip.

"Are you done admiring?" My shadow clone asked, crossing its arms.
"Stop calling me your 'shadow clone'. Give me a name or something." I look at it in confusion.
"You can read my thoughts?"
"Well, obviously. I'm in your mind." It scoffed.
"O...kay..? Well I'm gonna call you...Kov. Why not."
"Alright. Now what do you want to know, my host?"
"First off, where did you come from?"
"I've always been here, idiot," Kov replied.
"Fine. What did I do last night?"
"Oh, I was hoping you'd ask that." He replied with excitement. "You killed someone, and ate some of their flesh! You did it very messily, though. Didn't even clean it up."
"WHAT?! I-I don't remember doing that!" I replied with panic.
"It was ruthless! Didn't even give them a chance to react. Heh, you're a terrible person, aren't you?" He continued with a chuckle.
"S-stop! I didn't do it! I didn't kill them!" I exclaimed, starting to break down. He looked at me with pure enjoyment.
"Well, I think we've talked enough. Go back out. Tordsie is coming to your room~ Oh, what will he think of a murderer and cannibal like you?" Kov asked with a teasing smile. He was enjoying my pain, I guess.
"Why, yes. Yes I am,"

I wake up on the floor, covered in a cold sweat. Tears pricking at the corners of my eyes. I faintly hear footsteps nearing my bedroom. Shit, I'm still holding the bloody shirt. I quickly threw it into the corner of my room as Tord walked in.
"Witness, Edd wants us to go to his apartment to 'hang out'. Let's go—," he said before noticing my face. "...you look like you're about to cry." He stated.
"Yeah. You're such a weakling, crying over something so stupid."
"What? Oh...it's nothing. Let's go then," I said quickly. I speed-walk out the door while grabbing my hoodie and keys. I leave the apartment and go to Edd's. Knocking on the door, I try to make Kov quiet down in my mind.
"Tom! Come in— we're gonna watch a movie. Where's Tord?" Edd asked as he let me in.
"I'm here." Tord said suddenly, catching both Edd and I by surprise. We both went inside. Matt was sitting in the couch, browsing through some movies. He chose a romantic comedy and we started watching.

~Timeskip to the middle of the movie~

(Edd's POV)

As we watch the movie, I see Tom slump onto Tord's shoulder. He was fast asleep and looking peaceful. Wow, this is the first time in a while I've seen him sleep without alcohol. Me and my motherly instincts are happy. He mumbled a bit and shifted. I turn back toward the movie, ignoring Tord's quiet grumbling. I totally ship it.

gET THIS LITTLE SHIT OFF ME—

(Kov's POV)

Finally. He finally fell asleep. I can take control. I open my eyes in his body, noticing the other three next to me on the couch. I also notice that we've managed to fall asleep on Tordsie. Perfect~. I sit up and tell the others,
"Hey, I'm gonna go get a bottle of Smirnoff." Before leaving the apartment, not even waiting for their response. Instead of going 'home', I leave the complex and go to the bar. Tonight, I feel like getting some easy victims.
