Chapter 161: 161. Resuscitating
Henry’s POV
"No. I swore an oath." The old man blurted out.
"Mhm, and I want you to be true to it. I want you to save this child with . Or do you want to wake him up and ask him to slit his throat?" Moreover, even if we managed to outsmart the child into doing sothing that went so far against nature, if he did so without deciding for himself, it’d be questionable if it would even work. The first ti I had killed myself while possessed, my forehead had hurt like hell, and so it was each ti I did it, just that it was getting less and less painful.
If my ti in school hadn’t failed , the part of the brain where decisions were made is sitting at the forehead. I think expelling the shadow has sothing to do with activating this area.
The doctor shook his head and hesitated.
"Well, I can kill him myself. If I suffocate him, then resuscitate him, it should work, right? How does it work again? It’s pressing the chest to the rhythm of that song..." I humd the song for him. I knew how to do it the right way, but I would be busy taking on the shadow, so I needed soone else to bring the child back, preferably a doctor.
If this kid died, I had to co up with sothing because Kenny won’t take it well. Then it would have been better if he had died in that hellhole, rather than frightening my master so much.
"He is so young..." The doctor beca teary-eyed, and I humd.
"Then we should make sure he survives the possession. You have seen it with your own eyes." I want a cigarette, but Kenny isn’t awake, and he is mad at .
Though it isn’t as bad as it would be if I had kissed him in our world, without the corpses and the horrors in here.
Still, isn’t this a good sign? I thought he would kill
directly, at least shoot his gun at
like last ti, but instead, he not only did nothing; he even kissed
back to get the opportunity to headbutt
nearly into unconsciousness.
For a homophobic guy, that was already a miracle. This shows that he not only acknowledges the sexual orientation that I was forced to establish in front of him, which is the truth, but it also showed that I had grown on him.
If one of his other friends had kissed him, I think he would have beaten them to hell and back, maybe distanced himself if they proclaid feelings for him, but he would never have forsaken the friendship because of that.
Now I was at least of the sa importance to him as his friends were. If we had t outside, if we had never had my sister’s death between us, I would probably hang out with him and his group, drinking and joking around, spending ti together and playing. The thought makes
really happy, though I would prefer to hang out with Kenny alone, like we are doing now most of the ti, especially since we had a task that brought us closer, like slitting our throats in each other’s presence.
However, I wouldn’t want him to do it again after the last ti, when he trembled as if he were having one of his seizures, calling for
in a whisper to wake him up, repeating my na over and over. He didn’t call for his other friends or his grandma, but for
when he was scared to death by the visions the shadows showed him. Doesn’t that make
more important to him than anyone?
And... none of his friends had ever kissed him, French style and with tongue...
It was so different from kissing a girl, and yet it was so damn... good.
Ripping myself out of my thoughts, I walked to the door and found Athena bringing the cleaned knife and the taser. I nodded at her and let her inside the room before going to the child and taking the blanket that covered him. Then I sealed the child’s nose and mouth, pressing it down so he would suffocate.
"Now?" The doctor again covered his mouth and took a few steps back, though he didn’t try to stop .
"Now." I confird. The only way I had co up with was to suffocate the child because every other thod would be too risky.
If I stabbed him, he would bleed out; if I broke his neck, there would be no need to resuscitate him again. I watched as the small body tried to struggle without opening its eyes, unsure if it was the child’s body or the shadow attempting to fight against death.
I continued to watch, chanting in my mind, ’You have to live’, hoping he would hear
and co back without any issues.
Eventually, after a stretching, endless ti, the kid’s body stilled.
You have to live.
The little boy’s eyes snapped open, his eyes turned black, resembling a demon, before they closed again, and a smoky figure exited the body. I wanted to try sothing else as well, if the opportunity presented itself. Wrapping my right hand in the dark fog, I attempted to grab the shadow that had erged, and to my utter surprise, I was able to do so.
"START THE RESCUE!" I yelled at the doctor, who was still looking on in horror at what he was witnessing. A distorted noise ca from the shadow before it weakened. The mont I thought I could kill the shadow without slitting my throat, it entered .
*****
"Where are you going already?" I asked in a whining tone, nuzzling my master’s neck while he cursed at the tie he was putting on.
"Why are you so utterly unable to tie a tie?" I laughed at him and squeezed him closer to my body before looking at the mirror across from us. My black suit contrasted with Kenny’s white one as I knotted his tie from behind.
"I don’t have the fucking patience for this shit," Kenny cursed again while watching .
"Should you talk like this on your big day?" I kissed his cheek, and he pushed my head away.
"Should my best man behave this gay?" He asked with a smirk.
"What do you an?" Furrowing my brows, I looked at the door that opened. Athena walked inside wearing a white wedding dress that made her and her big belly even fatter than she already was.
"How is the baby?" Kenny pushed
away and kissed the bride before he whispered sothing to her belly.
"It’s unlucky to see the bride before the wedding," I said, trying not to let the bitterness overtake .
My master would leave , and it was her fault, as well as the fault of the seed inside her.
His seed.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I beca.
"And shouldn’t she be a lesbian?" I asked, and the pair froze; Kenny turned to , furious.
"What did you just say, you fucker?"
"What do you an? She told
herself." Before I finished, he had already thrown a punch at .
We fought until I pushed him away, and he landed on the floor, unmoving. Athena scread, and I laughed.
"Stop joking around."
No way this is real.
You can’t die.
"WAKE UP, KENNY!" I scread when electricity shocked my body.
I opened my eyes and saw Athena. There was clear fear on her face, and I realized that I was in the midst of choking her.
I was back; she wasn’t pregnant, and the kid on the bed was still being resurrected by the doctor.
Now I had to rid myself of the shadow possessing
once and for all. I let go of Athena and grabbed the knife she held in her hand, slitting my throat.
