The beginning is a small dream of Dave's that I felt like adding. I figured it would at least give you a somewhat idea of what is going on his head.
I'm sorry that updates don't come fast enough. I'm planning on finishing this in the next week or so because I start college August 18th and I don't want to be stressing out about this story c:
In the last chapter I'll include a few songs I used to write some of the chapters. The last chapter will definitely be needing the song!

A pair of hands wrapped around his throat- small hands. His red eyes opened up with fear in them yet there was still love. "John!" he choked out. He placed his pale freckle hands on the small boys forearms, trying to pry them away. "Let go!" He couldn't breathe! He couldn't breathe! HELP! PLEASE!

John held his left hand firmly on Dave's neck while he reached over for the knife. He held it up in the light with a little mischievous smile. "Oh, Davey~" He pressed the blade to Dave's cheek causing a slight arousal to form in his pants- a tightness. He shouldn't be turned on by this because he was fearful.

John slowly carved an actual heart in Dave's cheek. He smiled as it bleed. He was pleased. So pleased that he leaned down and kissed Dave's lips. "You're so perfect~" he whispered. The word 'perfect' echoed in his ears as he woke up.

"No," John said. "I'm not going."

Dave stared at John with wide eyes.

Dirk was more surprised in all honesty. "John, you can't stay here."

"I have to! You and Davey are both staying! I can't risk you telling those monsters where we are!" John shouted. In his mind, Dirk's skin was black as night and his eyes were bright orange like flames and his teeth were sharp teeth.

John moved back a few feet. "You're a monster," he whispered.

Dirk looked over at Dave a little then back at John. "Dave, can't you see? He's crazy-"

"I'm not crazy!" John shouted with acid in his voice. "I'm not sick! I'm normal! I'm normal!" He felt his whole body trembling in anger and fear.

Dave stood beside Dirk. "John-"

John made his move. He ran at Dirk and shoved him to the wall. Dirk, however, moved away before he collided with the wall. "John! Think about what you're doing! Dave is almost skin and bones, and you are as well! You need to both get help!"

"NO! I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!" John shouted.

Dave looked at Dirk. "Just do as he says...please. I don't want him to hurt you."

"Dave...this is ridiculous," Dirk whispered softly.

"Do it."

Dirk did not listen to Dave though. He tried to run off and John had hit him with the end of his knife. He could not have him running off!

John shoved Dirk into the room where he and Dave normally slept in and tied him down on the bed; arms and legs. John frowned and muttered under his breath. "Don't do it again, or I'll kill you." He walked out of the room and found Dave downstairs. He sat on the couch with his arms around his legs.

"Davey?" John whispered, walking over.

"Hm?" Dave said looking up.

"Don't be mad...Please. Dirk was trying to steal you. You wouldn't see me ever again. I had to be sure he wouldn't take you away."

"I'm not mad. I'm just a little scared-"

"Of me?" he said.

Dave did not answer him. His gaze went down to look at his feet. He held himself a little tighter.

"Davey, please don't be scared of me...please. I love you so much. I only do this to protect you."

"You aren't protecting me!" Dave snapped. "You've kept me trapped in this house with dog food and water! Sometimes you bring me chips or real food, but this isn't how you should be treating me!"

John frowned at him, his hands tightening up into fists. "Davey," he said a little angrily. "I don't have a job! I'm doing all I can to take care of you! You promised you'd stay here with me no matter what!" He felt tears welling up in his eyes. He was about to throw a tantrum.

"When I come back, you better be here!" John said with a little waver in his voice.

Dave didn't say anything.

John ran up the stairs and into his room by himself- the room that no one was allowed inside. He slammed the door shut and the screaming and crying began. It was so horrible!

Dave quietly went up the stairs. He didn't know what he was doing honestly. It was like he was in a trance that he could not wake up from. He went into their room and looked at Dirk who had just started to come around.

Dirk stared at Dave once he awoke. "Untie me," he whispered. Dave did as he was told and watched Dirk as he sat up, rubbing his wrists and ankles. Before Dave could even think about saying anything, Dirk grabbed him and tossed him over his shoulder. "B-Bro!" Dave gasped. "Put me down!"

Dirk said nothing and just made a run for it. He quietly flash stepped down the hall and stairs. He would get his brother out of here this time! There would be no hesitation. He would have to send the police out immediately. He had promised Mr. Egbert that he would return with John and Dave, together.

Dave pounded on Dirk's back with his fists. "PUT ME DOWN! JOHN! JOHN!"

John could not hear him. His screaming and crying drowned out Dave's screams. Even the voices that spoke to him countered Dave's voice.

Dirk ran until he came to the cabin that he had allowed John and Dave to stay in during that weekend of their strange disappearance. He locked the door and tossed Dave on the couch. He stood up quickly. "Bro! Why!? You can't leave him out there all alone!" Dave pleaded with red teary eyes.

"I am calling the police right now," Dirk said. "They will take of everything, lil man."

Dave shook his head and continued to cry. Oh God! He was away from John! What would he do without him?!

Dirk called the police, informing them that he had rescued Dave and that he was at the cabin. The police would come to the cabin and interview Dave then go after John. Dirk had also called Jake. Jake was not pleased to find out that John Egbert had hurt Dirk and Dave. He told Dirk that he would also be coming by that night to help the police find John.

Meanwhile, Dave began to organize a plan of his own. He would sneak out to find John...He had to go back. He had to.

This chapter honestly was a little difficult for me to write because I couldn't figure out what to do, but I did in the end after I took a break!
