Halloween In December

Let Me Help!

I start to lightly brush the wound with rubbing alcohol he flinches and I say “it’s okay i’m here! Let me help” Ben pushes me down again and I say “calm down!” I sigh and say “if it helps...here!” I pull out my f/w and make a cut on my arm and put a little bit of rubbing alcohol on it. Ben looks at me weird and asks “why did you do that?” I say “because it got you distracted!” I sit back up and put my f/w away!

I wrap the bandage around Ben’s arm and say “you are done!” Ben says “that was fast!” I say “it would have been faster if you had held still!” Ben says “well it’s not my fault that you were being aggressive!” I say “I'll show you aggressiveness!” Ben says “oh really!” I say “yeah!” I tackle him and say “was that aggressive enough?” Ben flips us over so that he is on top of me and says “that’s better!”

I push him off me and say “sorry but no!” Ben says “you're no fun!” I ask “do I need to stab you again?” Jeff walks in and says “what are you two doing?” I say “just trying not to stab Ben here!” Ben nods his head and Jeff leaves! Ben says “that was close!” I say “yeah for you!” I start to giggle and Ben asks “what's so funny?” I say “the look on your face!”

I stop laughing and say “I’m hungry!” Ben asks “what do you eat?” I say “Lulu is hungry so human food!” Ben asks “what do Kathryn and Cara eat?” I say “Kathryn drinks blood and Cara eats souls!” Ben looks scared and says “okay then let's go get you some food!” I say “you know I think Kathryn is hungry now!” I pin him to the ground! He looks scared of me.

I giggle and say “calm down I'm kidding!” I go to get up off him but he pulls me back down and says “payback!” he starts to tickle me and I start to laugh! I say between giggles “s-stop that t-tickles!” Ben says “then don’t try to scare me!” I say “I won’t I won’t! Just stop!” he stops and asks “can you get off me now?” I say “sorry!” and get up! Ben says “let go and get you some food before you kill me!”

I nod my head and we go to the kitchen! I feel a pain in my head and fall to the ground! The last thing I see before I black out is Bloody Painter with an empty syringe in his hand...end of chapter forty
