The moment the lights went out, Darry felt sick it was here and somewhere in the bottom of his stomach he knew it was here for him. They went to run and hide but the moment the gun fire started they got separated, he didn't notices Trish was missing until he found himself alone in a corridor, the emergency light made it harder to see what is shadows and what is in it. He found himself shaking his body hot but skin cold with fear "Trish!" He called out as he put his hands to his head "Trish!" He called out again a little louder this time around.
He heard another rapid bangs of gun fire and it was too close for him, Darry turned and headed for another set of stairs the screams of men told him it wasn't his sister and he could be happy about that. He hopes she is safe where ever she is hiding as he reaches for a door, he wasn't sure if he would open get it open if the station is in lock down. But as his sweaty hand turns the door handle he was hit with the cold air of the night. Darry let out a gasp of hot air as he stumbled out into the night and stood on the roof top unaware the door slowly closing shut. Running his aching hands though his hair he turned back to the door as he reached out to the handle and found it was missing. "Fuck!"
He stood back from the door and looked around the roof for another way off but there was only one door and it open from the inside. Then he heard it a tapping noise coming from the door "Trish?" He yelled as he step closer to the door "Trish is that you? The door opens from the inside!" He cried out as the door open slowly his mouth was dry as he stood there watching as it open and once it was fully open he stumbled backwards until he tripped over his own feet as he watched the scarecrow like figure walk out towards him. The dark haired young man eyes widen as he watched the Creeper threw his hand to the ground and grinned at him. Before he could get away from him the monster was on top of him pinning him down and snarled at him making him freeze.
Darry turned his head away, as he felt long tongue glide from his throat up to his chin as the Creeper pressed himself closer to him. A deep heavy chuckle came from the creature as he let his clawed hand slide under his shirt and stroked his skin. Darry flinched as he stroked his stomach and it made him want to throw up at the thought of what he wanted from him…what did it want from me?…he thought, Jezelle's words rings though his mind 'It eats lungs so it can breathe, it eats eyes so it can see. Whatever it eats...becomes a part of it.'
"So ripe." The Creeper purred, making Darry turn to look at him with fearful eyes.
"R…Ripe?" He choked …What does it mean by that!…his mind screamed at him.
"I've been looking for someone like you." His mouth formed a grin showing his small pointy teeth and it reminded him of a piranha. The hand moved from his stomach and down to his groin as the demon growled his claws slightly though the jean on his thigh, Darry let out a scream as and struggled with to push the monster off him. With a hiss the monster flipped him onto his stomach and held him down "Now be a good boy.
Trish had woken up with Jezelle looking down at her she pushed herself up and looked around at the room she found herself in. It was a sofa in the police station staff lounge she frowned "Darry? Where Is Darry?"
"I don't know." The older woman told her, her eyes filled with fear and sadness as she looked at the young girl. Trish shook her head and stood up holding her head, as the memory of the Creeper holding her in a head lock and sniffing her skin and then licked her before growling at her and throwing her into the wall.
"I have to find him." She said, as she stood up and swayed on her feet as Jezelle steady her
"If you're still alive then he didn't want yo…"
"We found him!" Came one of the policemen's cry.
Trish turned to see as the policemen carry her brother in the lounge and placed him on the other softer, pushing the older woman away from her and falling to her knees Trish moved towards her brother who laid passed out on the brown leather sofa. "Darry." She whispered as she cupped his face seeing the scrape across his chin and the claw marks on his skin. Moving her hand she placed it over his chest and felt his heart beat and the rise and fall of his chest "Thank god." The long haired girl told herself, as the policemen placed blanket over him "Where did you find him?" She asked
"On the roof, he looks like he's been beaten up." He tells her "We called for ambulance." He tells her.
She nodded and looks at his face seeing him twitch in pain, she pulled the blanket a side and looked at his clothes, his jeans were torn and his shirt was bloody. With shaky hands she pulled his shirt up and a gasped. "What?" Jezelle asked as she moved to stand next to her she looked down at the young man's stomach and looked wide eyed.
"I…It took his rose tattoo?" Trish gasped, there by his belly button was where the demon had cut a hole in his skin taking the tattoo. "W…why did it take his tattoo? What did it want from him?" She asked looking up at the older woman.
"I…I don't know, it wanted something, otherwise it wouldn't have chased you both."
…
3 months later…
Darry was looking at himself in the mirror, his finger touched the scar where his rose tattoo once was, but he skin is off colour peach. He shivered at the memory of the demon and open his eyes and looked up in the mirror. He didn't know why he decide to look at his stomach, he hadn't be able to look at his body since the attack why did he want today. But he stood by the mirror after the shower and looked at the fading scratches on his hips, the bruises may have gone but he felt like they were still there. He looks at his stomach again a little more closely and notices the small swell, he rubbed his hands over the small swell and frown.
Couple of hours later he met with Trish they sat her new car because keeping the old one had bad memories. "I think something is wrong with me." He whispered. His hand pressed to his stomach, she looked at him and frowned
"What are you talking about? So you put on a beer belly it's understandable you were in comma for a month." He told him, as she sipped her beer
"You joking right? Trish this isn't a beer belly? If I put weight on it would be all over but it's not, something is wrong… he didn't chase us and scare us for nothing."
"Right so you are saying that this demon chased us to impregnate you?" She asked, turning to look at him "Can you hear yourself?" She asked "You just need sleep."
"He is a demon that eats body parts so it could live why does it sound so crazy?" He asked her, she looked at him with a blank look
"One Darry you're male and two…."
"TRISH…" He yelled at her "SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME!" She stopped and sat back in her seat and took a deep sip of her beer. Darry just looked at her waiting for her to speak "Trish!"
"I'm thinking." She snapped, turning to look at him and then looked back at the field "James." She muttered.
"Who?" he asked her
"James he is a vet, he will have an ultrasound machine…he will be able to help us." Darry frowned as he looked down at his lap at his beer and then downed it, he didn't care if he shouldn't.
"Okay." He whispered "let's go."
It wasn't a long drive to James and as the sun was setting, he was just shutting up for the day when Trish walked in "About time, I was think you weren't coming?" He tells her, she smiled as her brother walk in.
"Sorry someone was sick on the way here." She said, Darry glared at her as they walked into the back room. "I know this sound strange…"
"A call from my ex asking if I would perform an ultrasound on her brother's stomach… how does that sound strange." He tells her as he lets them pass.
"You dated him?" Darry asked
"Move brat." She pushed him slightly in to the back room. James shook his head and followed into the back room grabbing the ultrasound and pulling it with him.
He looked at the brother and sister in the room and pushed the machine towards him, "Okay so if you want to take your shirt off and get onto the table I can do it that way." He said, Darry looked back at him with wide eyes as he stood there hesitant for a moment. He then peeled off his shirt off and then pushed got onto the table and laid down. "This might be cold." He told him as he poured the gel onto his stomach,
"Ah god!" He hissed, James chuckled as he notices the small swell and on his stomach and the funny colour by his belly button.
"Okay just relax." He said, softly as he turned on the ultrasound and pressed the wand onto his stomach and started to move it around. Darry held his breath as he looked at the screen and frowned as the wand was pressed a little deeper. "So what am I looking…Oh."
"Oh?" Trish asked, she looked at the screen and saw James point out on the screen "Is that…"
"A baby."
…..
A baby." James said, he stood frozen to the spot as he looked at the screen. There was a small baby shape fetus with two arms and two legs, he could clearly see the head and the eyes the shape of the nose…oh my god… he thought as he looked down at the young man on the exam table. "Are you sure you were born a man?" James asked. The siblings looked at him and frowned at him before looking back at the screen.
"I told you." Derry mumbled, he slapped her hand and she slapped him back. 'Thud' They turned and looked behind them and saw James had passed out flat on his back. "You really dated him?" Darry asked her.
"Hey I didn't judge you when you dated that dumb blonde who thought Jack the Ripper was a fairy tale." Trish said to him and then shook her head "Why are even talking about this! You're pregnant with a body eating demon's spawn!"
James woke up to the sound of some throwing up he looked up to see Trish looked down at him "Is your brothers pregnant?" He asked her, she helped him stand up and then looked at Darry who was now sliding down the wall and sat down to look at them. "H…how is that even…"
"Demon." Both Trish and Darry said together,
"Demon's aren't real." James scoffed as he stood there and looked at them. Trish moved to the side her arms cross as she glared at James.
"Well apparently neither are men who can get pregnant… but here we are my brother is carrying a demon spawn!" She snapped at him.
"Can you not call it a spawn?" Darry asked, he didn't need to look up to see her looking at him "I make me feel sick." He muttered.
They moved to office and sat down the dark haired young man sat on the floor once again, with a cup of water as he tried not think about the thing growing inside of him. James sat there looking at the screen shot of the fetus, while Trish tried to keep her brother calm. "Did you say it happen three months ago?" The blonde asked
"Yeah, give a take 1 week or 2." Darry muttered, as he rubbed his eyes as he looked up at the vet "Why?" He asked
"Well it just seems a little older than 3 months." Darry stood up and walked over to the computer monitor and looked at the screen shot and blinked at it. The baby didn't look like the creeper at all and he didn't know if he should be grateful that his baby looks human or freaked out that he is calling it his baby.
"H…How old does it look like?" Trish asked coming up behind Derry, James hummed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well as I am not the expert here on babies or demon babies I would say you more like 4/5 months."
