Stay with me: a Mad Father fanfiction

What comes after...

I wake up to the sound of heavy breathing right above my head.

"Dio?" I whisper.

No response.

I slowly open my eyes, one at a time.

A single glistening red eye blinks maliciously back at me.

I open my mouth to scream, but no sound comes out.

The thing approaches, its eye seeming to grow every time it blinks.

It opens its mouth, and just as it starts to descend upon me, as my life flashes before my eyes because I am sure it is all over, I hear a voice. My eyes crack open, and the monster is speaking to me. It's right beside my ear. I can feel its breath fluttering beside my ear.

All of a sudden, it falls. Abruptly, and with no warning. A single ray of light is cast onto its face. I am afraid to move towards. I sit in the darkness for what feels like hours, and then very slowly begin to move.

I reluctantly look down at its face, and scream.

It's Dio.

His face has been horribly mutilated, but it's definitely him.

Oh my god. What is going on?

I have to find a bandage. Something to cover up these horrible gashes.

Dio groans.

"It's okay. It's gonna be okay."

I stroke his head gently. He leans into my touch.

I have to get something to cover up these gashes.

But I can't just leave him here.
