It was silent, cold, and dark

He looked around nervously, unsure of where he was

"You left me behind"

Suddenly he jumped, startled after hearing someone speak, he recognized that voice immediately

His eyes widened
"Alex?"

Aiden looked back, seeing his friend, yet his appearance was demonic, he had no eyes

"What about our promise?"

His breath hitched, Aiden was horrified

"A-alex, i'm sorry"

Suddenly red pupils glowed up inside his empty eye sockets, he had a monstrous, unnatural smile on his face, his head began contorting and convulsing violently

"I'm so tired of your 'sorry's"
"They don't mean shit"

"..."

"Two years"
"That's how long i've been stuck down there"

"Two.fucking.years, you asshole"

"But you always had a knack for leaving others behind"
"Ain't that right?"

"Your little sis might have something to say about that"

His tone was aggressive and hateful, and he said everything with the intent to hurt

"Even after what i've been through with dad, you're still gonna abandon me?"

Aiden looked down, he was frozen in place, his lips were shaking, he didn't know what to say

"Answer me"

"A͈͎Ṉ̵͓̍̓̏̉S̝ͣ͐Ẅ̆ͩ̂Ẻ͔̿͟R̥̮ ̛̹̉MͣE͑!̜!"

Alex? lunged towards him, ready to kill him

Aiden shouted in horror, but then again, when he came to his senses, he was home, on his bed and covered in sweat, he let out a huge sigh of relief

The morning light shined on his eyes, depriving them from their usual midnight blue

After moving around a little he accidentally knocked over a lamp next to his bed with his tail

The lamp fell down with a loud thud, the same lamp that Lucas always warned him about, saying that it was too close to his bed

This was a matter of concern to Aiden, not because the lamp fell, but because when he drifted to sleep, the night before, he did not have a tail

"What the??"

He stared at it confused, moving it around slightly, it was pitch black and pointy on the end, much like a demon's tail

It moved around frantically, since he never had a tail before, and had no control over it, it slapped against his face several times

"Ow! Augh! Shit! Fuck! Stop!"

He grabbed it with force, it hurt a little, but he endured it

After a while, he started actually feeling said tail, and it slumped in his hands, the nerves in it started working properly and not sorely on instinct, and he let go of it

"Okaaaay, this is sooo...trippy, and weird"

He let out a long sigh, although after a while, the tail vanished, disappearing into his body....

"..."
"Well that just happened"

He got up from the bed, still rather confused, but decided to just ignore this little matinal event
