Matthew made a dash into the bathroom and turned on the sink. Washed off as much of the blood as he could, but the blood would get stuck in the fur. He got out all he could and then started mummifying his hand in paper towels. "Some of the blood is still getting through..." Matthew said as he looked at the paper towels turning brown to dark brown, to red-ish brown. "Won't people know?"
"The bleeding will stop bleeding eventually," Brian told him in his head "Just with for the blood to stop spreading, once that happens you can unwrap your hand and wash it again."
"And then it'll show up again." Matthew sighed as he started to walk out
"Laddy, Ya got to hold onto some hope." Lass said from the mirror "Just try to ave some."
"How, Lass?" How?" Matthew said and then kept walking.
He walked out of the bathroom and Kari was standing outside waiting for him.
"Matthew, What's going on?" She asked, and then saw his hand in paper towels. She looked back up at his scared face "Another accident?"
Matthew didn't say a thing and just looked down at his hurting hand.
"Matthew, Just tell me." She said "I need to know. The night terrors, and now this? You're freaking me out."
"She should know, Matt" Brian said "You ought to tell her."
Matthew still just looked away.
"Matthew, Please, tell me."
"If ya don' tell her I will!" Lass shouted, but Matthew was the one that said it.
Kari looked at him with wide eyes and stepped back. "Ummm, Matthew?"
Lass looked at her shocked and at herself, and then smiled "Well, I guess ye know now." She said and walked to Kari "Were not all together up here." and then pointed to Matthew's head.
"What the heck are you talking about?" Kari asked, "And.. What's the accent about?"
"Oh, it's not Matthew right now." Lass said, "He's somewhere else."
"Wait, Jake said that you had some mental disorders.." Kari took a moment to put it together, "..You've got personality dis order? Who am I talking to now?"
"We got about two of them" Lass said, "How bout we talk them over in our room?" And she lead Kari back up to Matthew's room.
"Can I just get a name?"
Then Matthew stopped as they walked "What?"
"Matthew, are you back?" Lass said, and grabbed him "Which one are you?"
"it's me Matthew." he said "What are you-"
"She knows, Matthew." Brian said, "Lass got in and spilled the beans."
Matthew started to growl, and Kari backed away "Son of a B#tch!"
"Umm.. Okay, who am I talking to?" Kari asked, "How many personalities are there?"
Matthew looked at her as his ears drooped again, "There's just four of us." he sighed "Me and three other people."
Kari looked at him more confused "Then how do I know who you are?"
"Because I have to put up with all of them, and never get to know what they do." Matthew said, but then saw confusion just build around her face. "Let's just head to my room and I'll explain."
