Chapter 8:Eros End?(3)

"So he's the god of sex huh?", I say as I look through the search results on my phone. Apparently his powers are confusing people and forcing obsessive relationships. Suddenly I remember the person that people have been obsessed with.

"Wait so is she actually a he?", I say remembering that god damn song. Does she transform into a guy or is she a guy, I think to myself.

I find nothing noteworthy other than he might be blind. Nothing about how to kill him and no other real information other than he might be a primordial god and that he might be related to Aphrodite. After searching online for a bit I decided to see if any articles about three-headed dogs and giant snakes eating people alive.

I don't find any news about the world ending but I did find a few interesting articles. It seems that a recently formed eco-terrorist group has blown up one of the largest oil rigs in the world, a new disease has spread among ocean life making a majority of seafood inedible, and finally, there's been a spike in low magnitude earthquakes worldwide.

"So is going to be an economic collapse or mega earthquakes?", I say staring at the bathroom door. After thinking for a bit I decide to just leave it alone. As long as I'm safe everything will be fine, I think to myself as I lay down in the tub, leaving the pile of rotten flesh soaked in black blood to rot.

"If I wake up and the fucking toilet is destroyed I'm gonna fucking torture that bastard before I kill him.", I say with a calm tone. I can deal with having to pick up rotting flesh, changing my clothes every day because of a little blood, and getting fuck all sleep but I can't deal with a broken shower and toilet.

Staring at the light brown roof I remember my time at Jim's house. The loud AC, the torn rug, the damaged walls, the seemingly endless piles of rotten flesh and black stains. This place is so much cleaner and although it may be a tad chilly it's steps above Jim's house.

Am I going to have to live like this forever, I think to myself. Having to move house to house because some demon refuses to just let me live in peace.

I hate being alone. I hate being ignored. I hate not getting enough sleep.

"When will this end?", I say as I begin to fall asleep.

---Dreamland---

[Hey there little boy. Do you want to play a game?]

In the middle of the night, while everyone sleeps, a single seven-year-old boy lies wide awake, resting in his bed with his under his Teen Titans blanket. A strange voice fills his head. He tries to ignore it, putting on a brave front but it continues to speak.

[If you play with me I will give you a very very good present.]

I want mommy and daddy, he thinks to himself. With a slight whimper and strong shiver he slightly lifts the blanket. He can't see anything other than black. A small bit of light from the bright moon peers through the window above his bed, making his closet visible.

[I'm not in the closet little man.]

Hearing its voice he hides his head once again. Suddenly voice begins to laugh. With a great echo, it's raspy voice fills his head. Mommy, daddy! Help, It thinks.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

[Hey kid did you know that your mommy and daddy hate you? The reason they're always screaming is because they don't want you. Who gets the spoiled brat, they say.]

"M-mommy-y a-an-nd dad-da-ddy lo-love me.", he whimpers with a heavy stutter.

[Yes they do!]

"I'm sorry!", screams the child in response to the roar of the unknown voice.

The boy does what he always does when someone screams at him. He apologizes. He may not know what he did wrong but he knows that as long as he apologizes he will be left alone. No matter how scary or angry someone is an apology will fix everything.

[Then as an apology let me stay for a bit.]

Hearing the voice's words the child began to hesitate. Suddenly the voice screams at him. No, it would be more accurate to say it roared. He instantly knows what he has to do.

"O-okay!", He whimpers with a slight stutter.

[Good boy]

Suddenly his head begins to hurt. He grips his head, pulling his hair as a sharp pain begins to overwhelm his body. His vision becomes blurry as a warm feeling begins to drip down his cheeks.

He falls unconscious instantly.

---Real World---

"Fuck my head hurts.", I say as I stand up. As usual, I wake up with an extreme headache, wondering what in the hell I dreamed about. Suddenly I remember that I forgot to set an alarm.

"Shit!", I scream while immediately running to the toilet, leaving my knife in the tub. Thankfully everything is fine. No holes in the wall, the door is just fine, the toilet still works. After making sure everything is fine I check the time.

Jesus christ I overslept, I think to myself. With a slight sigh,I put away my phone. I'm a little hungry but because it's four in the morning I have to wait until the sun comes up. "Nine damn hours and nothing looks broken.", I say as I begin to explore the house.

Since those birds focus on cleaning houses I'm safe as long as I stay away from windows and doors. So I decide to first check the nearest rooms. Both of them are perfectly fine. The white walls are undamaged with the floor and roof intact. If anything should've been destroyed it should've been the bedrooms, so why is everything okay, I think to myself in silence.

In the end, decide to just ignore it. Maybe my stabbing has had an actual effect or maybe that bastard is just toying with me. For now,the best option would be to be careful around people, keep the knife with me, and see if I can find any information about it online.

"Ah, should probably check on that Emily Emily girl first.", I say remembering that goddamned song. There's not a lot of info on her but thanks to reporters obsession I manage to find out that she's from a small town in Greece and plans to visit San Antonio Texas for a fan meet and greet two days from now.

Finding this out is a little nerve-wracking for me since I still don't know how to kill Eros or whatever the hell she is, and I don't know how to defend myself if she really is Eros the god. I might go there but I might not. In the end, I decide to leave it to fate.

If there's something worth risking I might go, if not, oh well, I think to myself.

After searching for another two hours I still don't find any way to kill Eros that's shared with several sources. "I give up.", I say with a heavy sigh. So instead I decide to see if I can find anything on the bastard that keeps trying to take over my body.

After searching for another two hours I find nothing that matches the description; Four-armed demon with golden fur, grey scaled arms, blue skin, and wolf legged. No matter how many different searches I use I keep getting the same result. A bunch of demons that somewhat match the description but are clearly something else entirely.

While I am a little annoyed I'm happy. The sun has finally come up so I go out and eat ten sausage biscuits. After grabbing the charger the phone came with and making sure to put on the clothes I forgot to put on last night I immediately set google maps to find the nearest I-hop since half-way through I changed my mind.

Should I get blueberry or chocolate pancakes, I think to myself as I step out the front door remembering the car keys only after failing to open the car door. While repeating the phrase, damn it, over and over again I grab the keys, moving to the car with a slight sigh as I changed my mind once again.

Pancakes are good but bacon tacos are even better, I think to myself with a slight smile on my face.
