His bruised face broke into a smile at the sound of their screams, the blood leaking between his teeth dripping gently to the floor and joining the ever-growing puddle at his feet. This had been the best possible outcome of it all and with enough of their blood he'd be able to bring his boyfriend back.
It was their fault he'd died so it was only fitting that their deaths would save him.
All they had to do was keep shut about him and them being in love until they'd graduated and headed off to college where they could quietly drop all contact with his family and their home town and live the rest of their lives together in peace.
One tagged photo and it all came undone.
He went missing for three days and turned up dead by the side of a road near the bypass. A hit and run at first glance but he was too bruised, had too many broken bones for that to have been an accident. Nothing came from questioning his family and his friends all wept the same.
It made him sick.
The fact that their carelessness had killed him and they had the audacity to cry about it set him on the path that led to their deaths exactly thirteen days later. The town's librarian had been surprisingly accommodating when he hesitantly asked about a certain occult book with a very interesting ritual inside.
All for a school project of course, she gave him a solemn and knowing nod as he left.
The excuse came with worrying ease - a vigil for his dearly departed in the old treehouse they used as a hangout spot. Just isolated enough that nobody would hear them screaming and he'd be able to play it off as a rabid animal attack or maybe some random man with a gun.
It'd cause enough of a stir that he'd be able to hide his resurrected boyfriend in the loft til graduation.
They'd be back on track for their happily ever after as soon as those fucking cowards finished dying and he had the chance to ask the demonic creature for payment in return for the feast he'd brought for them. He never expected them to try and stop him but just had to stay awake now.
Only a little while to go til they were reunited.
