(Alexia's POV)

Johnny pushed me off his lap and stood up. I paused; I didn't know what to think.

"What do you mean 'kill people'?"

He shook his head, "I mean I kill people."

"….okay."

"Okay?"

I stood up and took his hand. "I don't care, I still love you."

"How can you still love me?" his eyes were full of tears.

"Because, you haven't changed; you're still the Johnny I knew ten minutes ago."

He still didn't look at me. I rapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. He rapped his arms around my waist and held me tight. I kissed him and we stated walking, we didn't know where…

He smiled at me, "So, no more secrets."

I smiled back, "Okay... This could take awhile."

We walked for what seemed like hours, I told him everything, and I mean everything…

I told him about my brother, my mom, the fire…

Then he told me about the house, the wall, and his… 'friends'.

"Well, there's Nailbunny, Psycho-Doughboy, and Mr. Eff. They talk to me… did I mention I'm skitsofrenic?"

"No… doesn't that mean you have like, personality problems?"

"Yes, but the correct definition is abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction."

"hhmm… sounds like you." I smirked. He elbowed me and we kept walking.

"I think I see light up ahead." He said, I looked in the direction he was pointing to. There was a small sparkle of light inbetween some tree branches.

"Maybe it's a street light." I suggested.

"Only one way to find out." We walked towards the light and me being the total klutz I that I am, I tripped on a stick and scrapped my palms trying to catch myself.

Nny helped me up, "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I am not good with walking in the dark."

"Then I'll carry you. " Before I could protest, he picked me up and carried me bridal style out of the trees.

"Huh, you were right, it was a street light." He set me down on the concrete and I looked around.

"I know this street." I said.

"This is the street we walked together on the day we met." He gave my hand a squeeze.

"That means my house isn't far from here." I said.

Nny frowned, "Do we have to go there?"

"Yes, we do Nny, Matt's probably worried sick."

"Matt?"

"He's been helping me the last couple days; he's always been the older brother I never got to keep."

He paused, "Fine… but can you help me with something?"

"What?"

He started walking, pulling me with him, "Could you help me burn my house down?"

I gasped.


An hour later we were in front of Johnny's house. We both had two gallon containers of gasoline. Nny told me to spread mine around the outside of the house.

"I don't want you to go inside. Promise me, if something happens, you will not go into that house." his voice sounded threatening.

I gulped, "I promise."

A second later he was in the house and I was splashing gas all over the outside walls of the house.

What the hell am I doing?! I could seriously die doing this! Well then again I could have died the second I met Johnny… the world works in mysterious ways…

Then I heard my ringtone. I picked my phone up and put it to my ear. "Hello?"

"Alexia!" It was Nny. "Light the match!"

"What?! No! Your still inside!" I could hear thrashing and struggling.

"What's going on?!?"

"Alexia, light the fucking match!!"

"No!" I am going to die… I ran into the house. I heard Nny struggling and cursing at something. I found him at the top of some stairs on the floor clawing at the ground.

He was covered in cuts and blood. I ran to him and pulled him up.

"Alexia! Get out of here!" he screamed.

"No! Not without you!" then I saw what was trying to pull him down the stairs. There were tentacles pulling at his legs, I saw what looked like a huge mouth with razor teeth at the bottom of the stairs. My eyes went wide.

I spotted a knife on the ground and picked it up. I sliced clean threw the monster's appendages. I heard the most horrifying scream.

Nny stood up and gabbed my hand and we started running towards the door. I took the box of matches out of my pocket, and lit one. When we were finally out the door I threw the match in the house. It caught the gas and the whole place went up in flames.

I looked at Nny and he looked at me, "Thank you." He said.

I jumped at him and threw my arms around him. "I'm so glad you're okay." I was about to cry again…

"Thanks to you, Alexia." We kissed and started walking back to my house.

When we got to the door Nny stumbled slightly. "I feel light headed…" He fell and that's when I noticed the trail of blood behind us.

I opened the door and screamed, "MATT!!!" He came running and saw the passed out Nny.

"What the hell happened?!!" he asked.

"Long story, not enough time." I said "Do you still have those blood bags you stole from the hospital?"

"Yeah why?"

"He lost a lot of blood. I need my sewing kit too, and hurry!" Matt sped off and I put Nny on the couch.


There was a large, deep cut across his chest. I had to stitch it up, I had been taught how to do stitches, but I wasn't perfect.

I had to bandage his legs too. They were really cut up from that monster thing pulling at them.

Nny never stirred, he's beautiful when he sleeps…


(Johnny's POV)

I must have fallen asleep… I felt… good… I felt like I was finally free… all thoughts were gone… there was just me and my beautiful Alexia…

I woke to find Alexia putting a dressing on the chest wound I got trying to fight that demon. Suddenly all the pain rushed back and I hissed. Alexia stopped her work at looked at me.

"Hey, you lost a lot of blood, and you were really scratched up."

I winced as she finished with the dressing on my chest. She ran her hand along the bandage and kissed it. Then she sat down beside me and nuzzled my neck.

"You should sleep some more, give yourself a break." She took my hand and squeezed it.

Sleep… that sounded nice…
