This chapter practically made my throat sore just by typing it! Hope you enjoy, and please Review! :3
After about a week, we started to settle in a little better. I hung out with the Eds a couple of times, also helping out in some of their scams. Mariel played with Sarah and Jimmy every day, even coming inside to watch one of the kids movies once or twice. Jacob hung out at Rolf's a lot, he also now had a endless supply of methane. I made a mental note to install a fire extingusher or fire sprinklers into the house one day. It was really dark outside and Mariel was having a sleepover at Jimmy's. Jacob was home alone playing videogames. I had to go out and deliver Mariel's stuff, my flashlight at hand.
I shuffled through my ipod while walking down the sidewalk, my finger hovered over the 'play' button for a bit. Then I heard some screaming that sounded like Eddy and Double D come from one of the houses. I pockted the ipod and pulled my earbuds out, searching for the source of the screams. One of the doors to a house was broken off the hinges and inside was a total wreck. The dirt and filth didn't end there looks like, because they led a trail into the hallway and into a basement. The screaming rang louder into my eardrums. I flinched, looking into the basement. The stairway creaked loudly at my every step.
"PLEASE! STOP! NOOOOO!" I heard. Swallowing hard, I past the laundry machines and turned the knob of the door. I was about to open it when I heard someone squeal a bit. I opened it to see Ed towering over me, with killing intent in his eyes. My eyes widened and a small squeal of fear past my lips. His unibrow was furrowed and he held his gravy ladle like a weapon. Then his eyes softened a bit. "Alyssa! You want to watch with us!" He said, and yanked me inside his nearly pitch black room.
He dragged me inside by my shirt and threw me onto the bed next to Double D, who looked massively relieved to see me. "Oh, hello Alyssa. Nice to see you here." He said. Then he turned his attention to the tv in front of us. Ed plopped down into a bean bag and started gorging himself on chips. Eddy hid behind the big chair.
"That was Alyssa?" He said while crawling back into the seat under a blanket.
"Yes. Nothing to be afraid of." I raised my eyebrow a bit and looked at the tv. It was paused on some scene of a monster eating someone.
"Why are you here? Stalking us?" Eddy asked, a slight sneer in his voice.
"No, I heard screaming. That wasn't you two was it?" I asked, smirking a bit. Double D just looked down. Even in the dark room, I could still see his heated face.
"Hey, I'd bet you'd scream too!" Eddy argued. Ed just nodded, a funny grin on his face. Then he clicked play on the tv remote and the scary movie proceded. Now I could see why they were all screaming. Cause pretty soon I was too. I held onto Double D for dear life when the monster jumped out of a dumpster and ate so many people, causing blood and gore to go everywhere.
Everyone screamed except for Ed, who was just munching on his chips. Next to him was a whole stack of scary movies. After the movie, I was already shaking and my voice was hoarse from screaming. He popped in another movie and hit play. I saw a whole discarded pile of tapes next to the tv, wondering exactly how long these guys were down here. My thoughts were cut off from a mutant chainsaw attacking the innocent.
Something plopped into my lap, shifting my gaze from the horribly gory movie, I saw Double D out cold. I stroked his cheek a bit and flinched at Eddy's loud screaming from another mutant attack. Ed was still being calm. "How in the world does he get his hands on these types of movies..." I mumbled, still stroking Double D's face unknowingly. He shifted his position a bit on my lap to make himself more comfortable. I blushed a bit as he mumbled 'smells good'.
The rest of the night was a blur, but my throat hurt like hell the next morning and I found a grub in my brown hair. I threw it across the room and saw that the other guys were still asleep. Double D seems to still be nice and cozy in my lap. I moved a bit so I could sit up, that little movement caused him to groan a bit and crack open his eyes. Then he closed them again, completely oblivious to where his head was at the moment. I moved my leg a bit and whispered into his ear seductively.
"Good morning Double D, how was your night in bed with Eddy?" His eyes shot open and his entire face turned red as he suddenly scrambled up, knocking our heads together in the process. We both yelled out in pain. That woke up Eddy and Ed. Eddy groaned a bit, feeling his now numb throat from all the screaming. Ed licked clean his empty bowl of chips, the crumbs still stuck to his mouth. I laughed at bit when he licked them clean. Then I instantly remembered I left Jacob alone at home. I jumped off the bed, grabbed my things and ran out the door. "Sorry guys!" I yelled behind me.
At home
Jacob was out cold on the living room floor, controller still in hand. I took the controller out and dragged his ass into his room and plopped him on the bed, pulling the sheets over him. He snuggled up in the blankets as I left the room. I sighed a bit and drank some orange juice to soothe my aching throat. I made another mental note to bring throat drops next time I went to Ed's house.
