Amnesia
Rated: M
Introduction: We didn't know what we were going into but once we were in we couldn't get out...we had to go all the way and face the shadow itself.
Authors Note:
I would like to put in that no I do not own "Amnesia", I had recently played the game with a friend when I came up with an idea to use it as a story. So no, I do not claim it. Enjoy the story. (No, it is probably not as near as scary as the game really is but go easy, not good at making scary stories seem scary.)
Chapter 1:
"Blake, come on try it for us," I begged, it had been over five minutes we had been arguing about this. I had him over for the night because it had been a while since we had talked and I wanted to try this knew game out, sadly Blake was to sensible and knew about the game.
"No, I refuse," he replied, again, "you know I hate anything that is scary," he grumbled, going back to reading a book he had opening. Sighing I sat back down and grumbled, messing with the controls on the controller before getting an idea.
"I will have Jake come spend the night," I grinned and his head shot up. "I will even let you guys play with the same controller, so you don't have to be alone or you can hand it off to him," I added, seeing him start to think about it.
"Fine, but only if Jake is here to hold me," he said and quickly added, "you can not say a word about this conversation to him either."
"Of course, I will go ask my parents and call him right up," I replied and before he could change his mind I was running down stairs. The instant I was down my parents both turned to me from chatting in the kitchen and raising an eyebrow.
"You OK son?" asked my father.
"Dad is it OK, if I had some other friends over, please?" I asked, "we are going to play this real scary game and each others company will really help."
"Fine, but keep it down and when did you need company?" he asked, "I thought you were big and bad."
"I am, this is more for Blake because I am a good friends like that," I replied and watched them roll their eyes. Skipping my way to the phone, I started dialing Jake's number when I remembered Wynter. It had been a while since I had last talked to him because school was out, usual he just randomly came around and hugged me...kissed me, and we did all that friends stuff but recently I got into an argument with him. That was one thing I regretted.
"Hello?" Jake answered, and I looked down at the phone, not even realizing I had pressed send.
"Hey, it's Matty," I answered, "I was wondering if you would like to stay the night and try a new game with me and Blake, it is suppose to be a scary game."
"Sure I will be right over," his voice brightened up. Hanging up I bit my lip wondering if I should call Wynter but before I could stop my fingers I was dialing his number then holding it up to my ear. One side of me was hoping he wouldn't answer but then another side really missed him and wanted him back.
"Hello," he answered, his voice shocking me. I had forgotten his deep, tuneful accent when he spoke and it froze me. I was at a loss of words, "Matty?" he questioned.
"Yes?" I replied, finally catching myself.
"Is there something you needed?" he asked.
"Well...it has been a while and I was wondering if you could come over?" I asked.
"I am busy," he replied, but I knew him better. When he tried to break apart from how he felt for me he would make excuses not to see me.
"Please, I really need you, I am going to be alone without my own buddy," I said.
"You are big and bad enough to be on your own," he replied
"Wynter, it is going to be that new scary game I got," I pouted, "you know me better than anyone," I bit my lip when I heard him sigh.
"I will be right over," he replied and I grinned like an idiot as I hung up, then thought, if I am having them over why not the rest of my friends. Turning back to the phone I got a hold of Nathan and London, inviting them to come over before meeting a worried Blake at the stairs.
"Will he be coming?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied, "and so will Nathan and London, even Wynter" I added and he seemed to smile at that. We were going to go up to my room and wait for them when there was a knock on the door, "they are here!" I cheered and ran to the door to see Jake and Wynter standing there, Nathan and London just arriving.
"Jake," I heard Blake squeal and I rolled my eyes, letting him come in. As soon as Jake was in the house Blake hugged him and was trying to help him with his bag as they went up the stairs. Chuckling to myself I turned to see Wynter standing in the door and I froze, unable to think of what to say.
"Wynter," I whispered and he stepped in with a small bag, getting out of the way of Nathan and London so they could get in. As they started to walk to my room I grabbed his arm watching as he stopped and turned to me but all I could do was sputter, why was I acting like this? I thought, Wynter is my best friend.
"We better not make the others wait," he said in a hushed voice then pulled away and continued up the stairs. Sighing I shut the door and followed up, walking in to see everyone had made themselves comfortable. Blake was sitting in Jake's lap with a controller, making sure they both were covered in a pile of blankets so he could seep down in them as we played. Nathan had made him comfortable with London, trying to make a move and I could tell London wanted it but he tired not to show it. Wynter was sitting where I usually sat, so walking over I handed out controllers, each couple getting one of there own.
"Guess we will have to share," I said, giving an innocent smile as I sat down into Wynter's lap, feeling his arms come around me to help me use the controllers. "Everyone ready?" I asked and they all nodded. Biting my lip I went into to mess with the controls to put it at more than one player, I had done this more than once with my father so it shouldn't be to hard.
"One question though," said London, looking over at me, "what are we playing?"
"Amnesia," I replied, clicking the button that allowed more than one player when something weird happened. There was a glow of light before we all vanished swirling in nothing but a shadow darkness. Moans and whispers swallowed us with it, letting us hear their pitiful moans of sorrow. I could feel the lump in my throat as I started to freak, what was going on? I thought, this hadn't happened before. I looked around to see everyone but as we got more into the darkness, they started disappearing and finally, I landed smack on something hard, blinking out.
It didn't help when I looked up when I realized, this wasn't my bedroom anymore...and it didn't look like we were playing a game anymore...
