I wake up to the sound of Kens screaming. I jolt up from the bed and sprint to the doors in just my boxers.
"Oh fuck..." I whisper as I run down the hall. I run toward the screams. I open a what seems to be a janitors closet. When I actually open it it's a secret passage way. I can definitely tell the screams are coming from here. They seemed muffled though.
"Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit..." is all I can say. I finally reach another iron door and stop right in front of it. I put my ear against it and I can hear Kens muffled screams and a demonic voice talking to him. Jack and Felix apparently heard the screams to because they were right behind me when I turned around and they scared the shit out of me.
"What the fuck guys?!" I whisper yell. They look at me.
"We heard the screams and saw you run down the hall pants less." Felix answers. I looked down and realized I'm still in my boxers. The boys chuckle very quietly and hand me some pants. I put them on but I'm still shirtless. Honestly, who gives a shit? Back to the situation at hand. I turn back to the door and put my ear against it again. I hear all the noise in the room vanish. I step back to look at the door then all of a sudden BAM! Something on the other side caused a large dent in the door. I look to Jack and Felix and they're scared shitless. The thing keeps kicking or hitting the door till there's a huge hole for them to see through.
"Well hello boys." The demon thing greets. His smile is crooked and sharp. His body looks exactly like Tyler's except for the voice and eyes.
"Where's Ken!?" I ask furious.
"Oh, that little thing? He's in here." The demon says smiling at us and moving aside. I step in and search for Ken. I see him in the corner almost dead. He's barely breathing. I rush to him but am forced back by the demon.
"Tsk tsk. Your gonna go for him without letting me introduce myself?" He asks wagging his finger in front of my face. I take a step back and let him speak.
"I'm Canthros. A demon not of this earth as you know by now. I've taken shape of your friends body as you can see." He says gesturing to his body. I shiver at how accurate it is.
"The whole business thing the boys said to you, I was controlling them." He gestures to everyone but me. "They knew it too. They also knew better not to fight it. Smart little boys." The smile returns to his face.
Jack and Felix look away. "Know that you're done, can I please get to Ken?" I ask. Canthros steps aside and let's me through to Ken.
"Hi..." he says. He can barely even do that.
"Just breathe and stay alive. Nothing more." I say. I lift up his shirt to see blood and bruises everywhere.
"Oh no..." I say.
"Haha. Look at the pour fool. Let him go... Mark. I hurt him enough." He laughs at my attempt of help.
"What exactly did you do?" I ask. Felix and Jack have moved to my side, helping me examine Ken.
"I broke a couple ribs. An arm, a leg. I battered him around like a rag doll a bit." He says looking at the ceiling and counting. Menacing.
I shake my head and continue looking at Ken.
"We need to get him out of here." Jack says.
"But how?" Felix asks. Canthros laughs at us then vanishes. Jack pulls out his phone and calls 911. We make up a story about how we found him like this. They drove him to the hospital and we followed in Kens car. Jack won't stop hyperventilating and Felix is holding back tears while I drive and wipe my eyes. He has to make it. He has to.

Ken, my love, no. Too many emotions to many plot twists. Sorry but emotional chapters ahead. Let's see what happens next shall we?
