Heres the next chapter!

I will be updating both Unhealthy Obsession and this one every couple of days hopefully, if things go to plan so be on the look out!

If any of the text looks (like this) its because the character is talking to themselves not out loud.

Reviews are more than welcome! Any ideas on how I can improve or just to say you like it would be a big help:)

Enjoy.

Blood,

So much blood….

'What happened to me..? I'm so cold.'

'I haven't been this freezing in ages, my spikes usually bring my body temperature up or down to fit the weather to prevent me getting sick but never usually this low…it isn't even warm out so I should be boiling hot not cold.'

Confused, Ben sneezes violently before rolling over onto his side, leaves crunching and sticking to him as he stretches. He squints his eyes trying to get them adjusted to the darkness that had covered the forest. 'I swear it was light out when I left camp..'

Ben looks up at the night sky, examining the stars above trying to jog his memory of the events that lead him to were he was now but nothing worked. Frustrated Ben goes to move his arm to push himself up off the ground but finds himself crying out in pain, a huge sharp pain shot through his shoulder all the way down to his finger tips. Ben instinctively grabs his shoulder looking for any sort of wound but doesn't find anything, just a nasty purple bruise running down his collar bone and down his arm.

'Damit' Ben hissed.

Bens eyes, now adjusted to the night start scanning over his body. He takes in a sharp breath at the realisation that he's only wearing his briefs. His faces heats up as he whips his head around the woods making sure no one was around to see him like this. He doesn't think he could ever show his face in camp again if anyone was to find him like this.

Ben inspected the area one last time when he noticed the rear end of a dead animal sticking out from behind one of the fallen trees. It looked to be a deer…or what was left of it. Its body has been ripped to shreds from what Ben could make out in the darkness.

Ben covered his mouth to stop himself from throwing up. He quickly looked away closing his eyes to try and regain his composure.

'What the hell…how did this even happen'

He sighed, teeth chattering; sitting around in the middle of the forest wasn't going to do him any good. With all the strength Ben could muster he pushed himself up off the muddy forest floor, folding his arms tightly around himself he started making his way through the thick forest in the direction he thinks the camp is located. His mind was going a million miles per hour as he kept trying to remember what the hell had happened.

About an hour later of wondering aimlessly through the woods Ben finally stumbles across the edge of camp, his bare feet throbbing in pain from stepping on little rocks and broken branches. He shivers as another gust of cold air hits his exposed body. "How am I going to get back into camp without anyone seeing me" Ben whispered.

Before Ben had anymore time to think he hears people coming closer so he takes this opportunity to sprint across the dirt lot and behind one of the rusted old cars. Ben ducks behind the bonnet of the car, peaking out every couple of seconds to make sure no one saw him. He waits till the group of people pass by before he pushes himself up again, legging it to one of the back doors into the building. 'fucking hell that was close.'

Ben holds his breath as he peeks through a small crack in the door before slowly pushing himself half way through. His head shoots to look down the hall at the sound of another door being pushed open, followed by laughter. He spots two woman carrying laundry, they hadn't noticed him yet but they were heading his way.

Ben pushes himself all the way through the door, it slamming shut behind him as he ran down the hall in the opposite direction coming across a flight of stair leading up to the floor his room was on. 'I'm almost there I'm almost there' Ben kept repeating to himself but it didn't seem to calm his nerves as he took two steps at a time.

As he rounds the corner to the top of the stairs Ben stops to peer both ways to make sure no one is around. He spots his door at the end of the hall 'Its now or never..' He takes in a deep breath as he hears people coming up the stairs behind him. He doesn't waist anymore time in shooting down the hall towards his room, His arm protesting at being flung around in such a violent manner.

Ben couldn't bring himself to care as he collided with his bedroom door creating a loud boom that echoed all around. Ben was pretty sure the sound was loud enough to wake the dead.

He ripped the door open, throwing himself inside. Ben slammed it shut behind him just in time to hear the faint whisperers of people asking each other what the loud noise was.

leaning against the door Ben let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. 'I can't believe that just happened to me..as if this night couldn't get anymore worse' Ben sighed, rubbing his temples. After a couple more minuets of leaning against the door he listened to people heading back to there rooms, he was satisfied non of the civilians had seen him darting through the halls like a crazy person.

The last thing he needed was people telling his dad that they saw his son running around, covered in blood and mud like some serial killer. He was pretty sure he might of left a trail of leaves behind but he didn't care at this point.

Speaking of blood and mud Ben had completely forgot he was covered in it. 'I should probably go wash myself down and get some clothes on before something else happens tonight.' Holding his now aching shoulder Ben tiptoed to the bathroom. Luckily for him he had snagged a room with its own bathroom so Ben didn't have to share with anyone else. Tom didn't like the idea of Ben having his own room and being so far away from the family but Ben had argued the point that he was seventeen now and he need to have his own space if he could get it. And right now He was so happy he won that argument, last thing he needed was his dad or brothers seeing him like this and asking all sorts of questions that He himself didn't know the answers to.

Dropping his briefs Ben stepped into the shower, moaning as the hot water ran down his cold aching body. He picked up the bar of soap and started washing himself down, the water at his feet turning a nasty dark red. Ben made a disgusted face at the sight but contuined to wash himself off. After his body was mostly clean he moved to washing his hair that was matted with chunks of dirt, leaves, blood and who knows what else.

After about ten more minuets in the shower Ben was pleased he was able to get rid of all the muck that covered his body. Stepping out of the shower Ben reached for his towel rapping it round his waist. He flinched a little as he brushed his fingertips gently across the bruises on his abdomen and hips. 'What did I get myself into…'

Ben ghosted his fingers along a couple more bruises before he reached over his shoulder towards his neck prodding his spikes gently out of habit. Every time he saw them when he was alone he couldn't help but poke and prod at the metal spikes.

Ben dragged himself into his room and onto his bed as he rummaged through his duffle bag for clean clothes.

'knock, knock'

Ben's head shot up towards the door.

'knock, knock.'

"Yo Ben, you in?" Hal shouted as he pushed open the door, not waiting for a reply.

"You know the hole point of knocking is to actually wait till someone says its ok to come in Hal." Ben grumbled.

"Yeah yeah whatever listen I-"

Ben looked up from his bag again to see Hal had stopped mid way into his room, gawking at Ben.

It took Ben a couple of minuets to realise what Hal was staring at 'Crap.'He hurriedly pulled his hoodie on, zipping it up.

Hal rushed over towards him a look of anger making its way onto his face "Ben what the hell happened!? I swear if anyones hurt you I'll fucking kill them. Who did this!?" Hals booming voice filled the room making Ben's head hurt. Hal reached to grab ahold of His bad shoulder, he instantly moved out the way standing up off the bed walking away from Hal.

"Hal just stop ok, I know you're only trying to help but its nothing! no one did this…I-I just fell down a cliff earlier thats all. I wasn't watching were I was going." Ben gritted out.

'Dam my head really hurts now..'

Hal scoffed "Yeah ok like you expect me to believe that. come on Ben I thought you could lie better than that." Hal finished glaring across the room at Ben.

"I'm not lying Hal just get out!" Ben shouted, turning to face his brother.

"Listen Ben I can help you just tell me whats going on!" Hal pleaded.

Ben felt bad but he just wanted to be alone, he didn't need anyone asking him question when he didn't even know how he ended up in the woods in the first place. He couldn't just tell Hal that he would freak out and tell their dad, which would just open up another shit storm Ben wasn't ready to face just yet.

"For fuck sake Hal please just GET OUT!"

"Ben plea-"

"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!" Ben screams. He's about to be sick.

Hal backs up shaking his head before muttering an ok, closing the door on his way out.

Ben waits a couple minuets listening to Hal walk off down the hall before he full on sprits the the bathroom, emptying his stomach into the toilet. Once Ben was finished he stood up wiping his mouth. He was about to flush the sick away when he noticed it wasn't sick.

'Black blood?'

Ben froze in place his heart started racing 'what is that?'

He didn't know what to do, why did it look like that…He didn't feel any worse, in fact he felt a little bit better honestly. Although his head was starting to get fuzzy 'what time was it? how long had I been awake for?' It was still as dark as ever outside so he assumes it must be the early hours of the morning. 'Great..'

Worried and confused Ben flushed the toilet before washing his mouth out with water.

He walked out the bathroom heading over to the door making sure it was locked. He stumbled towards his bed dropping his towel, changing into a pair of briefs and lose black sweatpants. Ben climbed into bed completely drained of energy. Before long he started to drift off to sleep the nights events taken its toll on him.
