65 Horror

"Mallek, you there."

You knock on the door, waiting for a reply. A minute goes by and you turn to leave, but the door opens, revealing a tall troll with an identical hoodie to yours.

"Oh, so you are home." You smile, turning back to face him.

"Yeah, sorry about that," Mallek grins, "still wearing my hoodie I see."

You look down at the severely oversized hoodie and blush, looking back up at him.

"Yep."

"Well, come in."

He steps aside to allow you in.

"Man, you were the one that invited me over and you take forever to answer the door." you tut playfully, pulling the hood off.

"Oh shut up." he ruffles your hair.

You giggle and make your way to Mallek's loungeroom.

"So, what'd you call me over for?"

"Well, I don't really have anything to do and knew you wouldn't have anything to do so I called you."

You look over at him, a brow raised.

"Actually I was planning on visiting Cirava." You smirk up at him.

"Ah, but you cancelled your plans so you could come to see me."

You sigh, "You got me there."

"Great, since I win I get to pick the movie." He smiles and walks over to his collection.

You take a seat on his couch and lay down, resting your head on the armrest. Mallek slips the disc in and turns around to see you taking up almost all of the couch.

"Really?"

You grin, "yep."

Mallek walks straight to the couch and flops on top of you, essentially crushing you.

"Dammit you prick," you manage to squeeze out; "you're so much bigger than me."

Mallek sighs and flips it so you were lying on top of him.

"Hey, you asked for it."

You just roll your eyes and look over at the screen, where the title screen was already showing.

"A horror movie? Really?"

"Hey, I haven't watched it yet, thought you'd enjoy it."

You just hum and rest your head against Mallek's chest.

You just hoped it would be a good movie.

~~~

You wince as you watch a female bronze blood get torn to pieces. Man, back on Earth you had seen quite a few horror movies, but never anything this gory. You grip onto the front of Mallek's hoodie and bury your nose into his chest. You feel Mallek move slightly.

"You alright there?"

"Yeah," you nod, "you guys are good at making gory horror movies."

"Really?" he hums, "I didn't think it was that bad."

"Well, to human standards it is."

"Oh."

There's a moment of silence, the only sound filling it was the screams from the movie.

"Do you want me to turn it off?"

"No, it's fine." You shake your head.

"Well, if you're sure..."

~~~

The only things you could hear, were your heartbeat, your feet slamming against the ground and the figure behind you. You were barefooted and only in a pair of pyjamas. You thought you were a pretty fast runner, but apparently this person was faster as you could hear their footsteps getting closer and closer. You scream when a sharp pain rips through your back, you could feel your warm blood dripping down your skin. You collapse onto the ground and you're kicked onto your back, causing even more pain. You open your teary eyes and the last thing you see are a pair of dark eyes and an axe swinging straight at you.

You start with a scream, sitting up and looking around.

"Wow, (y/n), calm down."

You could feel tears pouring down your cheeks as you look down to see Mallek sitting up. He grabs a hold of your shoulders, making you look straight at him.

"It's okay, just calm down."

Once you stop looking around frantically Mallek pulls you in for a hug. You bury your face in his shoulder as you take a deep breath. Mallek rubs your back as he coos affirmations.

"It was that movie, wasn't it?"

You don't reply, wiping your cheeks furiously, wanting to stop crying.

"I'm sorry." You mumble.

"It's alright," he hums, "it's not your fault."

Eventually you stop crying and pull away. Mallek cups your cheeks and wipes your tears away with the pads of his thumbs.

"Come on, let's go get some sleep."
