The Deal

Tyler's POV

I sat in the middle of the forest. 

I knew that this was going to be dangerous but this was the only way to see Josh.

There were lit candles in a circle that surrounded me. 

"I really hopes this works." I said nervously. "If it means that I get to see Josh, then it will be worth it."

I closed my eyes and tried to channel my inner thoughts. Truth be told, I haven't been so deep in my thoughts for a very long time now. The last time my thoughts were deep was when I was still in high school. Those thoughts in my head made me weak and they tried to make me scared. It was called Blurryface.

When Josh came into my life, he didn't know of Blurryface. But after I told him, he helped me try to overcome him. Eventually, Josh did defeat Blurry in a confrontation between the two and Blurry was gone.

Or so everyone thought.

Blurry wasn't 100% gone. He was just cast into purgatory. Or something like that.

I guess Blurry really hadn't been in contact with anyone in all this time. Until right now.

I channeled my inner thoughts and I hoped he'd appear. This was the only time I wanted for him to appear.

I sat there in silence as it suddenly got chilly. The wind picked up around me and leaves fluttered in the air. Then a flash of red had me covering my eyes.

I heard something. It was a piano playing. I opened my eyes and saw Blurryface appear. He sat on a little bench and played the piano.

We'll meet again,

Don't know where,

Don't know wheeeeennnnn,

Oh I know we'll meet again,

Some sunnyy dayyyyy...

He seemed sad when he played that song. I interrupted him.

"B-Blurryface." I said slightly nervous.

He stopped playing and opened his eyes. His red glowing eyes. He looked the same with his black neck and hands, white sunglasses, red beanie- you know the usual. Except he appeared to be a little bruised, weak and devastated. He looked, sad.

Tyler Joseph. You- what are you doing? What do you want from me? I thought we were finished so long ago. I thought your Josh had defeated me. What more is there for me? You better have a good explanation for this.

"Blurry, I need a favor from you." I told him.

He looked at me questioningly. Favor? Joseph, you must be joking, right? I've made you suffer enough in the past, I don't know what else you want.

I took a deep breath. "I want to make a deal."

He raised his eyebrow.  A deal?

"Y-yes. It's about Josh. He's locked up in a heavily guarded prison. I need your help to get me in there. Please."

Blurry chuckled. Kid, it's been so long since I made deals with someone. Besides, haven't they taught you to not make deals with the devil?

"Yes. But I'm desperate. I want to see him again. It's been so long since I've seen him. I've been losing my mind over him."

Well, it appears it's your Josh that's been making you lose your mind this time, not me. How the tables have turned.

"Please, I want him again. Help me."

Blurry sighed. I get that. But why do you need me?

This is it.

I leaned in close to his ear and whispered. I then pulled back.

He looked at me in uncertainty. Tyler, you wouldn't want this. This...is like me but so not like you.

"I know. That's why I'm asking you to do it for me." I told him.

But what's in it for me? Hm?

"What do you in return?" I asked.

There's only one thing I want. One thing I absolutely desire. He looked at me evilly.

I shook my head. "You're not getting my body Blurryface. You will never fully have control of me ever aga-"

I don't want your body Joseph. I want something else that's dear to me.

"Wait, if you don't want me then what do you want?" I asked.

He put his hand on his forehead.  Look you want to see josh again right? And I want something special of mine too. If I help you do your work, will you help me get mine?

He let out his hand and a small white flame appeared.

I was hesitant for a second but I gave in. "Fine." I shook his hand.

The flame grew gently and he smiled. Now then. Are you ready to go and get Josh?

I sighed. "Yes. Let's do this."

But in all honestly, I was absolutely terrified of what was about to happen.

---------------------------

Josh's POV

I sat there in my cell bed in silence.

I had a separate cell from the rest of everyone here. I was all alone in an isolated section of the prison. It was heavily guarded, yes. But it was quiet. Maybe a little too quiet.

My cell didn't have the usual bars. It was literally a wall and a locked door. The door had a little window but other than that, it was very hard to leave this place. It was lonely.

I missed Tyler and I wasn't going to lie. I missed my boyfriend. I missed his hugs and his kisses. I just think he probably found someone new now. I'm not his type anymore. I miss him.

I wanted to cry right there but I had to be strong for him anyway. It's what Tyler would want.

"It is what Tyler would want. For me to stay strong." I said to myself.

Of course that's what Tyler would want. He'd love to see you again, I think.

I looked up and saw him.

"Oh hey Jim." I said.

Jim chuckled. Ha ha, I thought I said I'd like to be called by Spooky Jim Christmas? Well I guess Jim is sick too. 

I shrugged. "I guess."

Jim was dressed in all black. He had red hair, red paint around his eyes which were pitch black. He was basically the opposite of me. My negative thoughts and my depression. He came to life around the first time Blurry got control of me. 

Spooky Jim is basically the remnants of whatever Blurry was. You see, Blurry would leave my body but a part of him would stay in. Eventually enough of this energy was enough to make Jim.

Jim wasn't as bad as Blurryface. However, he was still self-doubt like Blurry but Jim was also the reason I went into depression. He'd make me miss Tyler and feel bad. He was pretty bad but he could play the drums just as good as I could. That was sick I guess.

"What do you want Jim? I'm not feeling it right now." I said with a sigh. 

Jim chuckled. You know, he's still out there. You're still in here. It's a shame you can't see him. That's pretty sad. 

"Yeah tell me something I don't know." I told him sarcastically. 

He laughed. Dude, you do realize I'm sad too right?

"Oh yeah. You've been sad for awhile now. Is it still because of-"

No need to say the name. I've been bearing the empty hole in my heart for too long. I don't need to be reminded by you. He sighed.

"Well what do you want Jim? Why are you here?" I asked.

I just came to stop by and say that he's coming. Or at least that's what I sense. His red-orange tattoo glowed.

I got up in surprise. "Wait? Who's he? Tyler? Tyler's coming for me?! NO WAY!" 

Easy easy Joshua. That's what I sensed. I don't know how I could sense Tyler though. He's not exactly like me...

"WHO CARES! TYLER'S STILL ALIVE AND HE'S COMING TO GET ME!" I jumped up in happiness. I couldn't believe it but Tyler was actually coming to get me. I just hoped Jim was right.

Look kid, I can't always be so sure if my senses are right. But I feel like Tyler is coming. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong but I just wanted to tell you. I just don't get how I'm picking up Tyler. He's...he's not like me. Ugh, I must be going insane. I'm losing my own mind. It should be me making you lose yours. I must be going insane, that's it.

Jim sat down on the cell bed. He sighed. I felt bad for him. We both went through some bad times honestly. There was a period of time where he was angry at me like really angry. He did things to me that hurt. But he took out his anger out on me really. I couldn't blame him. I knew why he was angry and sad. It was sort of my fault.

"Look Jim, we're both kind of losing our minds. I mean I'm losing mine over not seeing Tyler. I miss him so much but if you feel him coming, then I have some hope. We're both broken people." I told him.

He smiled at me. Yeah, well, I'm still evil. Just not as evil as you know.

"Yeah I know but I hope things get fixed soon. I don't know how much longer I can stay in here. I'M GOING INSANE!" 

There was a loud knock on the cell door. It was a security guard. "HEY! Quiet down in there and quit talking to yourself! You crazy no-good alien." 

I ran up to the door. "I AM NOT CRAZY! I WAS TALKING TO JIM." I turned around and pointed to the bed but there was no one there. 

I pounded on the door. "LET ME OUT, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE." 

The security guard motioned for another guard. "Activate his shock collar." 

The other guard pulled out a small remote and pressed a button. The collar around my neck sent hundreds of volts running though my body. I was shocked and my body glowed from the amount of electricity that ran through me. I fell to the ground screaming in agony.

I lay there curled up in a ball screaming and then crying.

I was never going to get out of here. Tyler was never coming for me.

I cried and whimpered in agony. 

"Please come save me Tyler..." 

Tyler's POV

"Are we sure this is a good idea?" I asked.

Positively. I'm so ready to do this for you. Blurry said.

Blurry had taken control of my body but I was still in control for part of it. 

I stood around a group of people in a restaurant. I was nervous to do this. But if it meant seeing Josh, then I'd both regret and appreciate this. 

You ready kid? Blurry asked me. I took a deep breath. "I don't know about this Blurry."

Relax kid, I'll be the one doing the most here. You just sit back and relax and let me control your body to do this. It'll be quick trust me.

I took another deep breath. "God forgive me." I said to myself quietly.

"Alright Blurry. Time to see Josh." I said.

Excellent. He chuckled evilly. 

I slowly put my hand inside my hoodie pocket and fiddled with the object inside. 

"There's no going back now..." I said.

Ready?

"Go for it." 

In a flash, I pulled out a knife and immediately began stabbing everyone around me that I could get. People began to run and scream. I could feel Blurry's excitement as he did this. He was doing this job. I was just watching.

 I was quick and managed to stab and probably kill about 6 people. I just stood there with my hands covered in blood and people outside screaming. Blurry had really just made me kill 6 people with my own two hands. 

Within ten minutes, the place was surrounded by the cops. "PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR." I heard from a bullhorn. 

I dropped the blood covered knife and put my hands in the air. The cops rushed in and pushed me to the floor. They pinned me down as they put my hands behind my back and handcuffed. 

"Boy, you are in a massive heap of trouble for this. So much trouble." The officer told me.

I knew I was. But I had to do this. Not on my own though, with Blurry's help. Murdering all these people would take me to the place where Josh was being held and finally see him again.

I was going to prison. 

I really feel like I BSed this chapter but hey! I've been busy with school to update but I'll try my best to update quicker. Also Valentine's Day is coming up, which eh whatever. I hope you're all doing okay! (-:
