The Monster I've Become

Part Three

Meanwhile, Rigby had just made it inside the house and slammed the door shut. Rigby could feel his heart beating against his ribcage as he pressed his back against the door. The sudden voice of his name being said caused Rigby to scream and nearly jump a foot into air. The young raccoon turned toward the one who spoke to find Benson standing there.

"What're you doing?" He asked; looking slightly annoyed by Rigby's reaction.

"Benson! There's this thing and it was all 'Grrr' a-and creepy with a- Scary! And we ran! Weird- Horrible!" Rigby shouted; eyes wide in horror; flailing his arms around like crazy.

"You're not making any sense." Benson frowned; becoming impatient by what Rigby saying. "Just calm down and tell me what happened."

"Okay..." Rigby began; taking a deep breath. "We were cleaning up the park like you wanted us to and while we were cleaning in the woods, this weird creature thing came and-"

He was cut off as the door swung open. In walked Mordecai who was limping slightly; his feathered hand clutching his left arm which seemed to be bleeding slightly.

"Mordecai!" Rigby shouted.

"Hey! Way to just leave me in the woods, Rigby!" Mordecai said; punching Rigby in the arm; angry that his friend just ran and wasn't there when he needed help. "Hey man, I'm sorry!" Rigby groaned; rubbing his arm.

Mordecai clenched his teeth in pain from the gash in his arm.

"What happened?" Benson asked; shocked by the large gash Mordecai obtained.

"Well, after Rigby ditched me," The young blue jay began; glaring at Rigby. "I was attacked by this weird... I don't even know what it was." Mordecai explained. "It looked like some kind of dog or something but it was huge and looked like it was on fire or something with black fur and weird glowing eyes."

At that time, others had soon came into the room. One being an elderly, lollipop looking man in a suit and tie. His name was Pops. The other two was a short, heavy looking man with green skin and hair; wearing a grey T-shirt and brown pants and a ghost that seemed to have a hand protruding from the top of his head. Their names were Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost. They all stared at Mordecai in shock.

"Dude, I think you're hallucinating." Rigby replied after a moment. "There's no such thing as a burning black dog with glowing eyes."

"You know who else thinks their hallucinating?" Muscle Man asked; a grin passing on his face.

No one answered.

"My Mom!" Muscle Man shouted.

Laughing, He and HFG high-fived each other.

"Don't you have better things to do?" Mordecai interrupted; clearly not amused.

"You guys are no fun!" Muscle Man grunted; placing his hands on his hips. "Well, we were going anyways."

And so, the two made their way out the door; closing it behind them. Everyone else soon turned their attention back to Mordecai; who continued to hold his wounded arm.

"Dude, can I see it?" Rigby asked.

Mordecai nodded before removing his hand; revealing the long gash; which had seemed to have stopped bleeding; the dried blood staining his blue feathers. "Dude, that looks painful." Rigby frowned.

"It is," Mordecai replied; wincing slightly. "It hurts like crap."

Rigby reached out to get a better look at it.

"Ugh... Don't touch it, dude." Mordecai moaned; moving away slightly.

"Don't be a sissy, man." Rigby replied; reaching out some more.

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH IT!" Mordecai snarled; baring his teeth; causing Rigby to stop and pull back in shock and the others to stare in awe.

"Okay, man! Jeez!" Rigby said; throwing his hands up in defense. "Calm down."

Mordecai began to breath heavily but soon calmed down; shocked at what had happened.

"Dude... I'm sorry." Mordecai frowned. "I don't know what came over me. I think I should lay down for a bit."

Mordecai then began to go upstairs.

"Make sure to take care of that cut." Benson called after him; still shocked from what happened.

"Okay." Mordecai replied quietly; before head up to the bathroom to clean and dress the gash.

"I wonder what that was about." Benson said after a moment.

"Don't dunno," Rigby replied. "But that was really weird."

"You know what else is really weird?" Asked Muscle Man; who peeked in through the now open front door.

"WOULD YOU GET OUT OF HERE?" Benson shouted.

Muscle Man frowned and closed the door. Rigby and Benson sighed in annoyance. Upstairs, Mordecai was just finishing with wrapping cleaning and bandaging his wound. He gazed in the bathroom mirror.

"Why did I just freak out like that?" He asked himself; still shocked by how he had reacted. "I must be stressing out or something."

After a few moments, he made his way into the hallway and headed toward his and Rigby's room.

"Maybe some sleep will do me some good."

With that said, Mordecai soon got into bed and slowly went to sleep. Unbeknownst to him, the gash beneath his bandage began to glow and eerie light blue.
