Note: Well, now I don't feel so bad about torturing Antauri. I didn't torture him in this chapter, but there is sort of a blood theme.

Chapter 3: A Demon's First Night

10:17 PM

The hyperforce was asleep. All accept the possessed Antauri. He slipped out of the Super Robot and into the cold night. He sniffed the air. There was a glint in his red eyes. Someone was close. He smirked and left in search of his first victim.

He crept through a pitch-black alley, following his senses to the blood he craved for. That's when he saw what he'd been looking for. An eighteen-year-old boy was walking down the street all alone. Antauri laughed to himself.

This is going to be too easy

He stayed in the alley where the only things that could be seen were his eyes. As soon as the boy walked past the alley, he stopped. He looked straight at the demon.

"What the- AHHHHHHHH!"

Antauri dug his right claw into the boy's leg. The eighteen-year-old continued to scream as the black demon dragged him into the shadows.

"What did you do with my fish?" Otto asked sleepily.

"What!"

Otto had been sleepwalking and somehow ended up in Nova's room.

"Gibson stole my French fries," he replied.

It didn't take her long to realize he wasn't fully awake.

"Wake up Otto"

"Hey, I'm not a book"

"WAKE UP!" she yelled.

"Huh? I didn't do it! Oh, hi"

She rolled her eyes "Go back to sleep"

"Okay" he said and went back to his room.

"Weirdo" she said under her breath and fell asleep.

It was early in the morning; the sun was barely over the horizon. The sun's light hit Antauri directly causing him to wake up. As his eyes focused, he realized he was in the main room on the floor. He felt something cold and wet. When he looked down to see what it was, he saw blood was all over him and on the floor. Most of it was on him. At that moment he felt sick to his stomach and threw up more blood on the floor. He moaned and crawled over to the nearest wall, away from the thick, red liquid.

"I really need to clean this up" he said and left to find something to clean the floor with.

After he finished with the floor, he cleaned himself up. He had a hard time getting the blood out of his fur. When Antauri finished cleaning everything, all he wanted to do was lie down. He didn't remember anything about what he did last night. The last thing he did remember was right before the demon took over.

It was still fairly early and he was exhausted but he didn't know why, but he did figure that it had something to do with his curse. He went to his room and sat on the bed. Antauri still felt sick but at least he wasn't coughing up any more blood. He put his head down and curled up into a ball.

What is happening to me?

At 8:50 AM the rest of the team was awake. They were watching TV and Otto had the remote.

"Hey, let's watch this" Otto suggested.

"No, I hate that show" Sparx declared.

"Fine" he said.

While Chiro, Nova, Sparx and Otto tried to decide on a show to watch, Gibson was observing something he had just found.

"Chiro, would you come here for a second." He said.

"Sure, what is it?" Chiro walked over.

"I've found something I think you should see," Gibson answered and showed him a red substance on a glass slide. "It appears to be blood"

"Blood? From what?" Chiro questioned.

"I don't know yet but it's at most, a couple of hours old."

"We haven't been awake that long and Antauri's still asleep"

"Are you sure he's been sleeping all night?"

"Well, no but… you think it's from him?"

"I don't know what to think, but I am starting to get worried," Gibson admitted.

"Yeah, me too. Maybe we should talk to him."

Note: Not my favorite chapter but I had to do something to get the ball rolling. The part where Otto was sleepwalking has no importance. I just wanted to put it there. I'm trying to keep humor to a minimum because this is supposed to be a horror type fic. Anyways,
I'll give you a hint as to what I'm going to say next, It starts with a 'please' and ends with a 'review'. Thanks to those who have reviewed so far, I am greatly appreciative of you.
