Puppet Strings(discontinued)

Something in the dark (pt.2)

-Lunas pov.-

Virgil was clinging onto me, his entire body shaking as tears quickly made their way down his pale face. I didn't really know what to do, to be honest, I'm not good with handling such panicked and stressed situations. Though I came to the conclusion that crying wouldn't help me out, so I decided to man up and tightly wrap my arms around the shaking boy. It took a looooong time before he could calm down, just enough to be able to breathe calmer. A little while longer and his tears stopped, though his body never seeming to shake any less. As he calmed down enough to talk I made the first step and asked him what happened. His shaky reply was "S-s-shado-ow....r-r-ro-rope....a-atta-ack...". Those seem to be all the words he got out at the moment. I looked at him, then gently offered him to bring him home. He nodded hesitant. I helped him up, his legs still shaking violently. He leaned onto me,  I didn't mind it as slowly we began making our way out of the park and towards the address he had told me. I know it's strange for both me and him to trust each other like that, we barely know each other. We met just 2 days ago.

Soon we reached his house, by now he could already walk by himself again. Weird to say, but I was proud, he did seem to have calmed a lot more since we left the park.
At his door he pulled his keys out of his pocket and opened the door quietly, it seems that, either, he lives alone or all of the people in the house were asleep. He stepped inside, then turned to look at me. I looked up at him and smiled kindly. "T..thank you..for helping me get home..safely.." He spoke shyly. I nodded, "No problem. You can text me whenever something feels wrong." i smiled. A small smile formed on his lips as he nodded "I'll make sure to do so..". we said our goodbyes, then I left his porch/front yard.

As the girl left and I closed the door I immediately rushed upstairs and into the bathroom. In the bathroom I turned the lights on and looked at my neck as the burn wouldn't go away. In the mirror I saw 2 small spots which looked like the bite of a vampire. My breathing quickened and tears filled my eyes. I tried pinching my arm and such to wake myself up. hoping this was just a dream, a bad nightmare, but it wasn't. I wanted to scream and so I did, but no sound came out, instead I felt that rope or those strings around my neck again, keeping me from making any noise. The lights began flickering and I saw that shadow person standing behind me, red glowing strings slowly becoming visible around my neck, wrists, ankles and my waist. Was this really happening? The shadow person stood there and grinned at me before speaking in a voice that I once heard before "My my, look at what a ugly dolly I caught myself there~" it said, it sounded so happy. This was wrong, this can't be real. I don't want this to be real. The shadow placed its hands on my shoulder "From now on you'll do what I say, got that, dolly?~". I wanted to refuse, to scream and run, but all I could really do is just nod. I don't want this, help me!

Authors note:Well damn, that was a long and rather scary story. Apologies if I gave you nightmares, but I suppose that a lot of you are into these kinds of stories. So, anyways, hope you enjoyed this part/chapter! See you in the next one!!
