Three Days After The Demon Exorcism

Panda and Ice Bear were going back to their normal lives aside from Grizz whose life would not be normal for a very long time. The two bears went back to taking turns watching Grizz every night, but Ice Bear eventually took over watching Grizz. He felt the urge to protect his older brother. Panda had the same urge, but Ice always persuaded Panda to let him. Grizz could not go to sleep anymore without someone in the room with him. Most nights Ice would fall asleep in the chair next to Grizz's bed. Grizz has been in his bed for the past three days, his leg wound has not fully healed yet.

On the first two days after Grizz was sleeping fine, but when the third day came he started having nightmares. Ice was sitting next to the bed when he heard a noise coming from the bed. He looked over and saw that Grizz was facing him crying, "Help me, something is coming for me. It's going to kill me."

Ice Bear extremely worried rush's over to Grizz, he puts his hands around the worried Grizz. Grizz was shaking worse than he has ever shaked in his life. Grizz immediately put his arms around Ice's and he put his face into his chest. Ice put his hand around Grizz protectively, usually it would be the other way around. But the last two years have really taken a toll on him, now he won't even leave the house anymore. Ice bear gently rubbed Grizz's back, "I…. I'm sor..ry." Grizz said in a shaky voice.

"Ice bear thinks you have nothing to be sorry for. Ice bear will always be here for you." Ice says.

Grizz cries himself to sleep in Ice's arms. Ice gently lays Grizz's head down on the pillow and pulls the blanket over him. Ice gets off of the bed and sits back in the chair. The next morning Ice Bear gets up and leaves Grizz to sleep and goes to panda's room to wake him up. "Ice bear is about to make breakfast."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Panda responded.

Ice was about to finish making breakfast when he decided to go and get Grizz out of the bed. Upon entering Grizz's room he was sound asleep in the same position as when Ice had left. Ice bear tapped on Grizz's shoulder, Grizz freaked out and jumped. Ice bear put his hands out in front of him. "It's only Ice Bear."

"I'm sorry you just scared me." Said Grizz

"Ice bear is used to it." Replied Ice Bear.

Ice went over to Grizz and Helped him out of the bed. He put Grizz's arm around his neck, and took Grizz to the kitchen table, he then gave the bears their breakfast. After they all finished their breakfast. They all sat in silence until Panda spoke up,"I'm going to go out to the store to get some groceries, Grizz I would like you to go with me."

An immediate look of fear flashed in Grizz's eyes. "No thanks, I'm fine with just staying here in the cave."

"Grizz you can't just stay here in the cave forever, you need to go outd" Panda practically screamed.

"No!" Grizz screamed. "I will not, I am comfortable here in this cave. Now leave me alone!"

"Fine, spend the rest of your life here in this cave, cause I'm done trying. Don't call me, I can't take this anymore. You're broken and we can't fix you, so you're going to have to fix yourself, or at least try." Panda said as he rushed out of the door.

"Panda, I'm sorry" Grizz said but it was too late as Panda was already gone.

Grizz started shaking again, it was one of his signs of another anxiety attack. Ice Bear immediately took notice and helped Grizz up and into the living room. They both sat down on the couch. "There's something wrong with me, I drove one of my family members away. I'm a horrible brother."

Tears were falling down Grizz's face and he was crying again. "Look I'm crying again, I'm not supposed to cry."

Ice Bear put his arms around his older brother and hugged him tight.

"Everyone cries, even Ice Bear cries." replied Ice.

For what seemed like an eternity they sat there Grizz crying himself to sleep, after that Ice got up and layed Grizz's head down on the couch arm, he then went to Grizz's room got his blanket and then covered him up on the couch.

Two day's had gone by and Panda still hadn't come back. Grizz and Ice were in the kitchen and they were having Breakfast. After they finish Ice takes Grizz to the couch to tell him something. "Ice Bear is going to go out and look for Panda. Don't worry I will be back, I won't abandon you."

"Please don't leave me" Grizz says and a scared voice.

Ice hands Grizz a phone and says, "If you need anything call me and I will come back."

Grizz knowing that there is nothing that he can do to change his brother's mind reluctantly nods. And with that Ice takes off.

Grizz was in the house for no more than five hours when he decided that he wanted to call Ice, he was already scared and he felt like he was going to have a panic attack. He tried calling but nobody answered the phone. He really started to freak out by this point. He was almost on the verge of crying, he needed his brother to pick up the phone. He tried calling five more times but nobody would answer. Grizz was now crying; he was hyperventilating, suddenly the phone rang, Grizz immediately answered and whoever was on the other end of the phone was not Ice. It took a minute for him to fully recognize the voice, but then he remembered the voice inside his head. "Xalmures."
