Different Devils

You're Doing It Again

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN

I'm alive.

Surprise.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Ghostface was gone for a week.

          A week.

          Freddy was freaking out the entire time, and it got worse every day. Terra came out of the lake after three days, also growing worried. And it took a LOT to worry a demon. He would continue popping up every few hours to check, and Freddy just panicked more when he finally took notice.

          In a way, Terra and Freddy were starting to become friends over worrying about the smaller spirit. They trusted each other more now, mainly with Ghostface. It wasn't the best way to start a friendship, granted, but there wasn't really a way to change it now.

          Jason and Michael weren't sure what to do or how to help them relax, so they just did the best they could while only kind of avoiding each other. The scare with Pinhead really got to both of them, it seemed.

          Around sunset at the end of the week, the spirit returned, looking completely beaten and exhausted. His clothes were torn in random places, and he was covered in scratches and bruises. He had blood stains everywhere- both his own and other being's. His eyes never stopped glowing a dull crimson in exhaustion and annoyance.

          He was limping a little, too.

          Jason, Michael, Freddy, and surprisingly Terra, had been in the cabin together, eating. Terra was eating raw fish that he set to thaw out, and the other three were somewhat grossed out. Freddy had barely ate due to his worry.

          As soon as Ghostface returned, though, both Jason's and Terra's heads snapped up. Terra teleported out of the cabin while Jason spoke,

          "Ghostface is back."

          Freddy bolted out of the cabin so fast he knocked over his chair.

          Terra was already healing the spirit, asking him what happened, and Freddy soon did the same.

          Double healing was, in the spirit's opinion, quite nice.

          "I'm okay. Just got a little banged up." The smaller of the three spoke up just as Michael and Jason joined them all.

          "And how hurt were you before you came back?" Freddy glared a little.

          "Freddy-"

          "You're doing it again. You're pulling the same shit again. You told me you wouldn't." Freddy was visibly upset, the worry and hurt clear in his voice. Ghostface just hugged him tightly, hiding his face in Freddy's chest.

          "I'm sorry. Things have changed a little bit..."

          "What do you mean?" Freddy pushed the spirit back gently to look at him, clearly concerned.

          "Pinhead was still not happy with me. He kinda beat me up then took me to the Sins."

          "What did you tell them?!" Terra panicked a little.

          "I told them I didn't know where you were. I said that I only ever got to the place you were through the dream world- so Freddy wouldn't exactly know either- or through my shadows. And I said that I was going too fast through my shadows the one time I used them to remember. They bought it." The spirit explained to all of them.
