“Egos + Onion headlines because I was bored” Part 3: Teeheehee

His heart hammered against his chest, he dammed it for being so loud in his ears. It stopped him from hearing anything in the dark hallway. It was the only thing he could hope for, to listen for that monster since he couldn’t see in the dark. The dapper pressed his back against the cold, stone hallway. A shaking hand clamps over his mouth, stopping the shaking breathing to come out of him. The littlest of sounds will give away his position, and he’s come so far…

“Come out, come out, little puppet.” The glitch like voice echoes around him. “I know you’re still here.”

The tremors keep growing, now spreading through his entire frame. Now both hands press against his mouth to stop any small noises escaping from his mouth. Panic was soon clouding his judgment, if he got caught he might as well be dead. Jameson had tried everything to get out of this prison, but none of his time magic worked against whatever dark magic this was. He wasn’t even sure if he was in the same dimension— if he were, Marvin would’ve located him by now…

“Oh, Jameson~” The demon called out for him, his voice coming from the end of the hallway, and yet, Jameson’s panicked, sapphire irises could not see him. Not even perceive his presence. “There is no point in hiding. I can hear your heartbeat.” A whimper finally slips between his lips, and Jameson can’t help but to start moving again, sloppily feeling the wall to guide him in the darkness. “I can feel your body shaking… and shivering. Oh, how I like the way you shake and shiver.”

He needs to escape, he needs to leave. He needs to warn Marvin and the institution.

“I can smell the sweat pooling on your brow… the stench of fear you carry is delicious.” The demon continued in a guttural voice, sounding closer. And it only made Jameson panic even more.

Someone help me… Marvin, please…

“I can see… Everything.” Anti whispered right into Jameson’s ear, the hot air sending tremors and chills down his spine, and making his knees buckle under his own weight. The dapper gasps in despair, beginning to crawl backwards and away from the dark figure looming over him. Three green toxic eyes shinning bright in the void they found themselves. Sharp canines revealed themselves when the monster smiled widely.

Words of please for caught in Jameson’s throat. He wanted to plead, not for his life no, plead for his friend to come find him. To come for him, but not even his name got past the giant knot in his throat. Tears surprised him when they spill down his cheeks without permission, and now he can’t stop them.

“So, you’re the one that wanted to put me away.” The demon chuckles and soon starts cackling maniacally. “A silly human like you can’t contain the likes of me.” He then lunges forward, fully pinning the dapper down while his clawed hand took a tight grip on his jaw. “Let’s see what the future holds up for us, shall we?”

The demon then takes both his hands, pressing them on each side of Jameson’s head before taking his thumbs and harshly squeezing his temples. Jameson kicks the air, twisting his body to get the monster to let him go but soon starts screaming in excruciating pain. In his head, images of people he had never met before flash like an old timey movie, and he knows the demon is watching.

There’s Marvin, yes

But there’s also some sort of hero dressed in all red… a man with a grey hat, a device in his hand he can’t really recognize. And a doctor…?

Though, the images vanished as fast as they appeared and Jameson was back in the dark rooms. Everything spun around him, and he felt himself fading away from the conscious word. Not even the strings burning themselves into his flesh were able to keep him awake.

“Thank you, puppet, for making everything so much easier for me. Now I just have to go find Marvin and this little group of people and get them out of my way.”
