Hey Guys, so here we are with the Sequel to 'A Perfect Stranger' and its going to take place a few years after the last one, and originally, I was going to have this set at Vidcon, but I decided to go for a different approach
Dan looked around, his heart beating incredibly fast as he was stuck in the middle of the dark forest. He looked around, and gasped, as the smell of rotting meat and decay wafted into his nostrils. Honestly, he felt like he was going to pass out due to the smell. He covered his nose and mouth, before looking around, for whatever was causing the smell. He cried out, at the sight of dead bodies nearby, they were ambling along in the woods...he could see their shadowy figures, moving along. His eyes widened, when he heard a cold laugh, and suddenly someone's hands were on his shoulders.
"I'm coming for you Dan...you think you can escape me? No, you can't...I will find you, and when I do...I will do what I should've done all those years ago. " Said Andrew, as Dan could feel his hot breath right against his ear. He whimpered, and tried to escape his grasp, when he felt a cold, whithered hand wrap itself around his leg. He looked down, and screamed
Dan woke up, gasping for breath, he looked around and sighed as he laid back down. Just a dream...it was all a dream...he tried telling himself, he sighed once more. When he turned to see Phil still asleep next to him, he wrapped his arms around him, and kissed Phil on the cheek softly...his fingers softly tracing the scar on his shoulder. The memories lingered in the back of his mind, and he hadn't had a nightmare like that in...in years. So why did he have one now?
He looked at the clock, and saw that it was four in the morning and normally he'd be falling to sleeping but, he'd been feeling so tired and stressed out as of late. At least the new channel was him and Phil doing something they enjoyed. He got up, and being sure not to disrupt Phil, went to the bathroom, to splash water in his face.
After doing so, he went to the lounge and laid on the couch, turning on the tv for background noise. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as before..he remembered the nightmares were often incredibly worse, and much more gruesome than that. He looked up, as Phil entered the lounge and sat next to him.
"You alright Bear?" Asked Phil, lightly placing a hand on Dan's shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm fine...I just wasn't tired anymore. Did I wake you?" Asked Dan curiously, a small guilty look on his face.
"No, I noticed you weren't there and I wondered where you were...now tell me the truth." Said Phil, Dan sighed and hugged Phil, who immediately wrapped his arms around Dan and kissed the top of his head lightly.
"I had a nightmare...about him, it's just...I know it's been years, but they've never found him and he's still out there...he wants me." Said Dan softly, Phil shook his head, his arms becoming more protective around Dan. He knew that, even after the therapy and the years, between now and the incident...there was still fear Dan held in his heart. Honestly though, Phil didn't blame him...he'd never blame Dan.
"He's going to have to get through me if he does, but Bear...he doesn't know where we are and it's been a long time since then, I'm sure he's forgotten between then and now. He would've tried something much sooner, if he hadn't." Said Phil, Dan nodded and looked up at Phil.
"I'm sorry, I-"
He was stopped, by Phil kissing him and smiling softly at him.
"Don't worry, you did nothing wrong." He replied softly. Dan smiled, and snuggled up to Phil. The two stayed there, and tried to get back to sleep, when finally the sun's rays hit. They got up, and after eating breakfast, and spending a fair amount of the day inside watching anime while trying to edit. They got dressed, and had to head to the BBC to do this week's radio show. Honestly though, Dan was just glad he and Phil would get the next three weeks of the radio show off.
The two youtubers made their way down the street, when Dan noticed a red haired girl in a llama hat and purple Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil shirt, texting on her phone. He looked to Phil, who chuckled as Dan went over to her.
"I like your hat and shirt." Said Dan, the girl looked up an gasped when she saw Dan and Phil.
"Oh my gosh hi!" She exclaimed, excitedly before hugging Dan. Phil chuckled, when the girl turned and let go of Dan and hugged him who hugged her back as well.
" Oh my gosh, I totally wasn't paying attention, I was on my phone and oh my gosh!" She replied, blushing beat red. Dan chuckled, and shrugged his shoulders, he liked it sometimes when he and Phil met fans on the street. She smiled, and shook their hands, enthusiastically introducing herself.
"Can I take a selfie with you guys? I know its..um...weird, and you probably get it a lot...but um...would you mind?" She asked, Phil chuckled.
"Of course we wouldn't mind." Said Phil, she smiled and the three gathered around to take a selfie.
"Oh my gosh thank you so much, it was so nice meeting you and...huh" Said the girl, who immediately quirked an eyebrow up, as she looked at the picture.
"What, do we look horrible?" Asked Phil, teasingly, Dan chuckled...his smile immediately vanished, when he and Phil looked at the selfie he'd taken with the girl. He and Phil looked normal, but the girl...her eyes were pitch black. He wasn't paying attention, as the girl and Phil were talking...Phil was asking if she wanted another picture, and that he wouldn't mind while the girl was saying it was fine. Dan recalled what Mrs. Jaccoby had said.
" Anytime I took a picture of her, her eyes were pitch black..as if death was inside of her."
Dan looked back at the girl, and he could feel in his gut that something bad was going to happen.
