[@Zeroth] [b]"Ed, Come on! I know you ain't weak shit. Don't tell me you're down after a couple of shots!"[/b] A familiar but gruff voice spoke to him in the darkness. [color=chocolate]'Who was this? His voice is so familiar...'[/color] Ed thought to himself before a new voice interjects a comment. [i][b]"Oi, don't be too hard on Eddie! He ain't a drunkard like you getting smashed every other night Rob!"[/b][/i] The new voice adds before ending with laughter. [b]"Oi! Fuck you too Sam!"[/b] Rob rebuts Sam before joining Sam in the laughter. It was so noisy that Ed couldn't keep his eyes shut and opens them to see two men in front of him, laughing. This sight was very familiar to Ed. Yes. He remembers now. Rob had graduated and called together his two oldest and best buds for a good ol' pub crawl. Ed thinks this was the sixth-no-maybe the last pub of the crawl. The two men sat across Ed in the booth. The brawny bearded brunet man was Robert, while the shorter skinnier oriental-ish man with thick rimmed glasses was Samuel. [color=chocolate]"Goddammit boys, you're giving me a helluva headache here..."[/color] The laughter slowly dies down between the two idiots and they apologize to Ed. [b]"Oh c'mon Ed. You know you love us."[/b] Rob smiles to Ed before reaching over to Ed and patting his shoulder. [color=chocolate]"Yeah, yeah. After we drink one more shot. We're done here right? We can go crash someplace?"[/color] The two drunks in front of him nod as sagely as a drunk can. Ed just chuckles slightly and offers them a gesture that signified that he was good to go. The drinks served and consumed in lightning speeds and soon the group of three are shambling through the pub. Everything was fine until he heard someone shouting. [u]"Watch were ya going you drunk piece of shit!"[/u] Ed turns to see Sam being held by the collar by someone. It seemed that Sam had knocked someone's drink and he wasn't too happy about it. Rob and Ed tried to calm the situation down and apologizing in their friend's behalf, that is until the racial slurs were spat out against Sam. Ed sent his fist careening into the man's face and the metaphorical shit hit the fan. Ed and friends were doing okay, considering their inebriated states. Then there was a painful force that smacked Ed at the back of the head and he fell to his knees. He pauses and groans in agony before he places a hand at the back of his head before looking at it. The head wound was severe and had smeared Blood all over his hand. It was then he felt his anger burst and lost all control. He was on the man who hit him in seconds and repeatedly smashed the man's head on the floor until he laid face down in a pool of his own blood. Ed didn't stop there, he grabbed the nearest patron he could get his hands on and killed her like a rabid beast would. The process repeated over and over. Ed's grin grew wider and wider as he killed one opponent after another. Soon he stood amidst the broken bodies of his opponents...and even his best friends and laughed in euphoria. [color=salmon]"Ed...is that you?"[/color] The bar had disappeared and he was in a white plain. The grin and joy disappeared in a blink of an eye. He had turned to face the source of the voice. It was his dear baby sister standing before him, confused. He could never mistake that old grey Mario hoodie and the messy hair bun she always styles her hair to. [color=chocolate]"A...Audrey?"[/color] He was frozen in place and could only stare at her. [color=salmon]"Ed, w-why are y-you covered in b-b-blood?"[/color] She takes a step backward, her eyes filled with concern and fear. The fear in her eyes made him unwittingly grin. [color=chocolate]'NO NO NO NO! STOP!'[/color] His body refused to listen and he was forced to watch, powerless to do anything, as his body went closer and closer to his sister that was frozen in fear. His bloodied hands wrapped around Audrey's neck. [color=chocolate]'PLEASE NO! GOD, ANYONE BUT HER!'[/color] He felt his grip tighten around her neck as she began to choke and sputter, feebly trying to wiggle out. Tears flowed freely down his face but his body refused to listen to him. His ceaseless and constant begging for his sister's life was only stopped when he felt and heard a pop, before his sister went limp in his grasp. He finally regained control of his body and collapsed as Ed cradled her body. His gazed upon the lifeless body of his sister. You like hurting things don't you Edward? [color=chocolate]'No!'[/color] LIES, you killed them Edward. [color=chocolate]'NO!'[/color] YOU. KILLED. HER. [color=chocolate]'PLEASE GOD NO!'[/color] [color=salmon]"YOU REALLY ARE A MONSTER, ED..."[/color] --------------- [color=chocolate]"NO!"[/color] Ed shot up from his deep slumber, hitting the roof of the small crevice with his head and body. Ed groaned in pain while his heart beat a mile a minute. He looks around to see that he was back in the real world.[color=chocolate]"It's just a nightmare...It's just a nightmare."[/color] He assured himself while he let himself settle down before looking out of his sleeping spot. He saw the wisp, Danny if he remembered correctly, having a kerfuffle with a bunch of others and there was some sort of mess going on where the campfire was as well as the light near, what he assumed, the cave entrance had grown brighter than yesterday. The interaction with the other 'humans' yesterday was a complete disaster and he didn't want to make that mistake again. The bonfire was a dangerous place and was completely out of the question and the light near the cave entrance was not really interesting to him. With a heavy sigh, he goes to a low stance to avoid detection and keeps his sharp ears open for anything out of the ordinary cave sounds. Ed sneaks out of his crack in the wall and decides to try his luck in trying to find his way back to the nest.
