I woke up to the loud sound of a beeping. I looked over to my left, Where my alarm clock was. Instead of numbers, I saw Wisp's face. No clock...just a monitor of some sorts without buttons and certainly no remote in sight."Hello. It is now 7:30. Which is day time. So wake the heckadoole up and get to another fantastic day!" The ghost known as wisp was looking at us with a smile that just did not look right on a ghost in anyway. Just like that it sapped off without warning. I didn't even consider that this Wisp guy would be giving us a message. The room he was in sure did look like it had a lot of cameras too.
I should've checked my rules. There probably would of been a rule regarding whatever he just said.
I took a quick glance at the OP-US with newfound hope of there being rules, I didn't check them yet however as we were already likely going to talk about it at the meeting. The diner was just a few yards awhile. Looks like I'd be walking.
Quickly, I hopped back into my clothes, As I almost ran outside half naked. Which, Would definitely be embarrassing.
"Hey you awake yet?" I heard a familiar voice from within my room.
Backtracking my steps I nearly tripped right over Kacey, who was still on the floor.
"Hey! Look where you're going" She tilted her head to look at me and she clearly wasn't amused
I watched her strain to get up. She had to grab onto me to even get a chance of getting up. I should've just used my hand but it was kind of sweaty from sleeping.
"Thanks for the h-hic!" Kacey gaped at me and gasped, "Am I hiccuping?!"
I waited for a moment to confirmed it. "HIC." Yup, She was definitely hiccuping.
"It seems so, Try not talking for a while it might get better." I tried to reassure her. She nodded and went with it.
I wasn't a doctor at all or in any way. It was however fairly obvious that trying to hide your voice would help.
Opening my door led me to dark skies despite it being day. I also got to see Tisha. She was the most shy person I ever saw. It seemed like she was walking to the diner like told.
"Oh hey Tisha!" I shouted for her attention.
"...Hi…" Wow, That was it. So much for any type of happiness to see me.
"Are you still upset over that picture I took of you?" I asked, Just now getting closer to her on the sidewalk.
"You took a picture of her?" Kacey looked at me with dissapointment. I didn't see that much of a problem personally.
"...No,Not really. It's fine, Honestly. Are you heading to the d-diner?"
Each word she spoke made me happy. It was as if I was playing a game and finally got to a new level. I was so glad to make someone like her feel more talkative.
"Yeah, Can I come with?"
"Mhm." Kacey responded with ecstasy. I wasn't sure how she was able to do that while simply humming.
"O-Oh...Of course." She seemed reluctant but in the end I was allowed, That's all that mattered.
On the way to the diner we talked about mostly girly things. I was a bit embarrassed to talk about such things after just meeting someone. Fortunately I got a laugh out of her like every minute. It was truly something to be happy of.
I took the rest of the walk to kind of straddle off from whatever Tisha was saying. Really all that mattered right now was escaping and talking. Yet, How would I escape from someplace like this? The skies were literally shrouded in grey clouds with the streets being made out of old cobblestone. Most of the buildings were also somewhat ran down.
"Mukyu…" Tisha muttered. In all honesty I had no clue what that word meant. If anything it was likely something that was an attention grabber.
"Huh? What is it?"
"Well you haven't been talking for awhile and we're already here." She seemed to pout in a cute way after that. She was right however. The diner was like any other 90's diner with huge neon lights pointing it out to everyone else.
Going inside I was greeted with lots of things. Most of them revolved around the large table in the center which was actually surprisingly convenient for us to talk around. Each chair also looked nice, despite being made of steel and steel only. There was also a counter with real food on it. Thank god we at least could survive in here, I never even got the chance to check for food in my house.
"That's the last of them, Everyone go to a seat." Luvenia commanded whilst smiling for some strange reason. She was probably happy to feel like she was doing what she did a lot, command others. You'd think she'd be bossier honestly.
"Alright I'm pumped! What is it we'll be talking about?" Rocco asked to no one in particular. It was probably directed to our "leader" of sorts, Luvenia.
"See if I care." Merlin barely got to finish his sentence before Zola interrupted
"How about we go over those rules...there were rules right?" She both suggested and asked in the same sentence. If there was a reward for diversity in sentences she'd get it.
Silaz nodded, but her agreement was in vain as actions do really speak louder than words, Kacey, For one seemed to follow that rule.
"I'm sorry but isn't like survival way more important? Like, By totes far. In the end I really don't care LOL." Kacey said innocently. She seemed to really want attention. To argue for the sake of it, I could tell instantly she would like the spotlight.
"How about we already get our investigation on? I can't sit around here all day ya know." Rocco blurted out, even louder.
"This is incredibly foolish. You're all fighting for the spotlight. We'll get to them all eventually!" Mia said with a lot of annoyance. I was actually surprised she would even care about this whole debate.
"Whatever." Kacey muttered, with a bit of a pout being hidden.
"For now I'd say we just talk about rules. I never read them anyways." I said, Really I just wanted to read the rules because like said, I never saw them so dangers would definitely come to me if not avoided. "Agreed." Ufio said after me. She instantly switched from one decision to the other.
"Ok, We've already gone over Rule 1, Thanks to that Reaper Guy, Rule 2 states that 11:30 PM is considered nighttime. It ends at 7:30" Valiski cackled for some odd reason. We had no other reason but to agree to some type of witch.
"Don't forget that at night, All lights in other places will be shut off, unless turned back on." Derick added. His addition didn't really matter for me though, I'd already seen that.
"Rule 2 implies you may not leave at any time, Unless you commit murder and get away with it." Salena finished with a nice sigh. Something pushed me as odd when it came to that rule, I just couldn't put my finger on it so I stayed quiet.
Silaz and a few others nodded before reading off the other rules. This whole event was just absurd. I couldn't stress that enough, Insane.
"Rule 3 is that NO destruction is allowed, unless murder is a part of it." Tisha stated to the rest.
"Can they stop with the murder already? Not like anyone will actually do it." I said again, hoping it was true.
Once again, Wisp appeared out of nowhere and created a ghostly mist around it.
"You'd be surprised. Murders happen all the time in these days." Wisp winked.
"Bull. There isn't even anyone here for god's sake!" Derick yelled directly at Wisp. He has such passion in his voice at simply yelling. It was kind of epic if you asked me.
"Whatever, I gotta go though. I'm busy. Ciao~" Wisp left instantly. He looked to be in some type of a hurry.
We had no reason but not to continue. I started to say the next rule.
Under Rule 4 was another rule that simply stated more will be added if needed. Woopy, Looks like our Wisp was taking care of us...I sighed deeply with a depressed look on my face to follow it up.
"Alright well that's covered. Now let's make sure to cover up our murders!" Valiski said out loud with a pure smile. I'd say at least everyone else gave her a weird,half smile just to ensure she didn't kill us.
"Next up is Survival. We got food-a-plenty so we're A-OK on that!" Derick laughed outrageously with a hand on his hip.
"What about Wisp...He is freaky…" Tisha managed to get out. I couldn't lie, Wisp was creepy. In actuality is was really just the fact a murderous thing like this coming from his mouth was creepy. He was actually kind of cute and all.
"I'd say otherwise...He looks fine to me, Yeah! Fine to me!" Jake said with some new found confidence. Where he got it, I didn't know.
"Ok, Well that covers just about everything. Everyone, Look at your maps and explore the five places open to us currently, have fun! Oh and, At about 3:30 lets meet up back here and discuss our findings." Salena smiled reassuringly.
Sure enough, We were all out of the room in less than ten minutes. Every now and then on the way out we chatted a bit but nothing too important. Only thing was jake whispered in my ear, "baka" whatever that was supposed to mean.
There were five main locations open to us so far. Well, Eight if you counted the weird bunker outside of the housing district and the small and quiet part of the library. It was like a smaller cut off section from it. For the most part it was completely silent in there. There was also a public bathroom complete with gold showers and the smell of luxurious soap. Next up was the housing area itself. There was the cold, old, creepy church outside. More of a steeple if you asked me. Another place was a broadcasting center with DVDS and all types of movie related things. There was also a library and a small sandy park. It was all too abnormal for any regular city, It wasn't like any of this was normal either way.
I decided the first place to check would be that bunker and the housing districts. So, I went off over there.
I finally made my war back to the housings. The walk was actually kind of refreshing despite the air feeling like it is made of steel. I wasn't going to go in each and every house in search of something. It was easy to assume everybody had basically the same thing and why would Wisp hide something important in the place where we literally live? I rechecked my house to see if there was anything that I missed the first time.
Really all I noticed was the shampoo...Monopoo? Whatever it was it sounded kind of immature, yet funny. There was also some food that each revolved around the word "mono". I absolutely had no clue what it meant. Whatever it was, It was strange.
Moving on was the bunker. Looking at it made me realize yet another thing. Why in the world was there a bunker? It was relatively small too with only a few things in it, there was a plant that I've never seen before,a table for god knows why and a...stopwatch?
"BOO!"
"AHHHUGHEEYEH." Whatever came out of my mouth was a scream, I was sure of that.
This weird creature with fangs and a yellow coat appeared out of nowhere...was it perhaps...Valiski? If anyone, It'd be her to come out of nowhere and yell at someone. Though Salena was good at that too…
"Hihi~" Yup, That was Valiski's voice.
"Hi...What are you doing here?"
"Reading a children's book." She said so normally. It was one of the creepiest things I've ever actually heard from an 18 year old's mouth. Was she even 18? Honestly if she turned out to be 26 I wouldn't be surprised.
I awkwardly coughed. What was I to do in a situation like this? Just accept my fate?
"You know what? Imma go." I said without even thinking. Of course I followed my words and ran out faster than some blue hedgehog. I took a second to catch my breath outside of it, Hearing the words "goodbye honey~" Come out of Valiski's mouth. At least I felt free.
Moving on I went to the church. What a place it was. It looked like something straight out of a horror movie, I wasn't even kidding. I could of sworn I saw some crows flying outside it just circling it like it was a leader of some sorts. Just the thought of that was freaky.
"Isn't this just the cutest puppy you've ever seen?" I looked inside, I was expecting to see a cute puppy based on Mia's voice. All I saw was the amazed girl looking dead straight at a plant. It was a lot like the one in the bunker. Even the vase was similar.
"No...That's a plant, Looks like a Vern." Tisha whimpered in...fear? She seemed unsure, that was definite. I didn't know how to feel. A girl, who was a thief was in the same room as I and staring directly at a fern which was apparently a puppy.
"O-Oh! Quele! Help! Mia's gone insane!" Tisha called out from her heart. What was I to do? Listen and get freaked out or go away and feel ashamed. There was only one thing to do.
"Alright Mia! Wake up!" I called out.
"The Dog's barking!"
Welp that plan failed. Looks like force was going to have to help out now. Just how deep into her world was she? I was starting to fear we'd never get the same Mia again.
Tisha looked at me worriedly. I could tell she was genuinely worried about this poor girl. She even sneezed. Tisha sneezed again, What a surprise. But this time it was out of fear instead of the common cold.
There was only one thing to do. Call for someone to bring in force. Naturally, The one person I thought of was…
"Aright, So she' mad in love with you, Quele?" That was Len's voice. Before I could say he was wrong Tisha interrupted me with a smirk.
"Actually, I think Quele is in love with Mia, As her neighboor I swore I heard some moaning."
"TMI."
"Wait what the heck? W-Wh-What? Tisha shut up!" Trying my hardest not to, I blushed. Of course now that's happened rumors were gonna spread.
"Alright. Whatever, let's see what I can do." Len said, rubbing his hands. Just what in this world did he have in mind? He even had gloves on. I feared for Mia's safety for more than one reason now.
SLAP! Straight to Mia's face was a declared hand.
"Huh…?" Mia snapped back to her senses and instantly saw a half bloody glove. It was the first time I've seen of it to.
I gasped, Did this guy just slap someone hard enough to make blood appear? I sincerely hoped not. Even Tisha gasped alongside.
I covered Tisha's eyes like a mom would do for her son in bad times like this.
"YOU PIECE OF MICROWAVED SOAP!" To say something like that, She must of been recovering still. Of course, Len was slapped so hard he flew right out of the steeple.
After the event we talked for a bit, It was a mostly one sided conversation by Mia, Justifying her actions. Apparently she had like another conscious that was a part of a love and cute dovey world. Honestly, I've seen stranger things today and this was something else.
I left that place and continued to the next. The broadcasting center. There were multiple TVs in there. Not to be watched on, But were conveniently placed for hackers to broadcast messages.
Of course Merlin was there. Who else would be in a place where a hacker's dreams could come to life. There were of course a few others that were doing for the most part normal things so I decided not to pay attention and walk straight over to Merlin, The hacker with the name of a wizard.
Before I could even say anything, Merlin said something. "Hello there? Yeah, Hello to you too."
Wait what? He never even could've seen me, I sneaked up on for no particular reason but to have fun and he just says hi to me? If it was a coincidence it was certainly one I've never seen.
"Um...anyway what are you doing, If you don't mind me asking."
Merlin kept his eyes fixated on the screen. There was nothing on it but darkness and a few buttons which he was looking at in full detail.
"Why do you care?"
"Well because you seem really interested."
The hacker turned around and sighed. "Oh yeah I just loooove watching TV!" The enthusiasm in his voice was surprising. Especially after he just sighed.
"Oh please, You told me earlier that you hate watching TV and that you like to lie."
"No, I said I'm good at lying."
"That doesn't matter. Tell me the truth."
"Fine." He turned around again, facing the TV which was tilted on a shelf of sorts. "It's just you can easily hack into this TV. It's connected to the TVS above the center so you can broadcast anything you want. All you need to do is have any type of recording device and plug it in here." Merlin pointed right at a box of slots connected to the TV, Or computer. I wasn't sure what it was. "You see, There are places to put in everything. You can even put in literal cameras in here to broadcast."
I could see a hint of a smile on his finishing words. That was another person who simply liked talking about stuff that'd you'd think they'd talk about more.
"Yeah I know right?" Another voice came in. This time it was of Wisp's more cheery voice.
"What do you want?" Merlin stared right at Wisp with daggers for eyes.
"I just wanted to point out that you can actually broadcast things for farther away, all you'd need is a cable for connecting your device and this machine right here." Wisp patted the poor keyboard.
"That's so cool!" I said, It wasn't exactly how I felt. It was meh. Yet, I wanted to make him happy.
"Great, Can you scram now?" He must of detected my lie. I've spent enough here anyway, As much as it hurt to have to say goodbye to such mean terms, I left.
I looked at the list of places I had written down to explore, The next place seemed to be the Library.
The library here was apparently "haunted". At least that's what Wisp explained to me when I took my first two steps into the Library.
The place had that sweet library smell. The smell of pages turning and paper in the air. I didn't know why or how I like it - I just did.
I noticed a few people off doing random things like normally, Salena seemed to be reading in the corner on a small couch that was decorated with purple flowered paint.
Dwain also seemed to be here. He was off looking around, Probably for a good book. His eyes would just not come off the shelves so I thought it was safe to assume that.
Last but not least was Zola reading the back of a book. The thing you'd do when you first pick up a book to learn about it.
I didn't have much of anything to do. If I were to look at the books it'd be a waste of my time because Dwain was already ahead of me. I guess I could ask him for any information he'd found.
Walking up to him didn't feel so good. He kind of scared me with his looks alone. I knew he could be nice so being afraid couldn't of been normal. I had to deal with it either way, Helping him wasn't a goal of mine yet.
"H-Hey." I began saying to grab his attention. It didn't work in anyway. His eyes continued to dart through a blue book he was holding up with one hand.
I tried again, This time he simply looked at me and I felt like falling over, straight onto the floor without effort.
"Oh hi there...Quele was it? Sorry, I'm not that good at remembering names."
At the very least he was human. Many people, including me, forgets people's names just naturally. Of course some people are just too perfect for that in the first place.
"Yes, I'm Quele. I was just wondering what you were doing."
He looked at me again and shut his eyes for whatever reason. "Zola told me to do so. She wants me to read all these books. So far they are great!"
"What is this book called?" I looked over at what he was holding but I just couldn't tell.
"BlooDancers. It's about these people committing murder and such and a detective is there to figure them out. Neat huh?"
I took the moment to draw a relation to the book and our situation. Murders and them being found out.
I had to shake my head to get it out of my mind. Murders. Heh, Like they were really going to happen. I would never in a billion years even think to consider it as true.
"Uhuh, Very neat...Anyway have you found any info so far?"
"Unfortunately not. I...I've just been reading." No matter what he said he wouldn't take his eyes off the page. They were practically glued in all ways.
I rolled my eyes. Thanks for being useful.
"Well thanks for trying." I clearly lied. He was useless. Though he had potential with being a more serious guy, He seemed like the person who'd be able to see something important from a mile away.
Seeing as my conversation with him ended with him reading even more I decided to walk over to another person, Who was hopefully having better luck than I.
Salena looked peaceful on the couch before me. I couldn't help but stare at just how beautiful her hair was. Her legs were perfectly crossed like of what I'd see from a queen.
Mia somehow was here now as well. She seemed to be kind of reading from the same book as Salena. I couldn't even tell if Salena knew or not. She was focused on that book to a high degree.
"Hi." I went straight to the point for her attention this time.
She jumped and stared at me for a moment, frozen and startled.
"Ah Quele, I thought you were here to kill me." She said it so casually, but with a hint of anger in her voice in a way.
"Hehe, No...I just wanted to know what you were reading."
"Why do you want to k-Whatever, It's called Keriko. A story about a puppet on an adventure for a pet. It's actually pretty heartwarming."
"Oh really?" That wasn't my voice. It was the hidden Mia, Who appeared from behind the couch.
"Eh? Mia?" Salena turned around to see the one and only Mia.
"Sup!"
I facepalmed at the stupidity of the situation. We were in a killing game and these people were slacking off.
"Sorry Quele but I just gotta read. Right now I'm just not in the mood for investigation." Salena spoke. She continued to read however.
"Same." Mia agreed and continued watching the pages being turned from Salena's book. She seemed so much like a cat.
"Alright well I guess I'll go then."
They didn't seem to listen - or they didn't hear me. Either way I stepped out of the supposedly haunted Library and back into the open world
When I let the place I ran into somebody by the name of Kacey Lovo. Just who I needed.
She smiled and probably called for me, My ears were already ringing so I had no idea what she was saying but I came over anyways.
"Hey! Wazzup my main man?" She said whilst laughing.
"I'm a woman. Not a man, get it right."
Kacey smirked, somehow also looking confused at the same time. "Oh really? But you have a nice goatee!"
I looked down to reassure myself. I never knew I had one, And I never felt it. My last fault was that someone drew one on my chin but all I saw was nothing. Was she hallucinating?
"W-What? I don't even hav-"
"This is going on my blog!"
Before I could even ask why or how she had a blog at a time like this she continued with another story. It was one I really didn't want to hear.
"You know what? I totally gotta put your love for Mia on my blog too!" I blushed, again like an idiot.
"Are you serious? How do rumors get out like that so easily?"
"Well, Derick told me." She said weakly. I couldn't tell if she felt sad for me right now or not.
"Wait- Derick knows too?"
"Oh, I think just about everyone does. It's spreading like the zombie apocalypse!" Jake said, passing by with a depressed looking Silaz.
"Ugh!"
"Lol! Well, I'll see you at the Diner!"
She skipped off before I could ask anything regarding the Diner. As I recalled we were supposed to go back and meet up with everyone at around 3:30. Was it already that time?
I checked my OP-US, Which I wish I never had and sure enough, it was 3:29. Which also meant I was on the verge of being late. Luckily, I was almost there already so I sprinted over there and jumped through the doors, Like earlier, Everyone else was there before me.
Once everyone in the joint was situated in their chairs like sophisticated normal people we began talking.
"Alright? Everyone say what you found." Jake said with both a hint of happiness and sadness.
A mixture of words flew around the room which slowly turned into an argument by likey half of the people in the room. Different stories came altogether without anything being tangible.
"All of you shut up!" Luvenia yelled, then gasped, then followed up with a smile. "I mean...How about you start, Merlin?"
"Why me?"
"Because you're an idiot!" Valiski nodded with a satisfied looking. For what reason though I was unsure of.
"No, Because I can expect you to be the smartest here." Luvenia followed up again.
"Wha? Is that how it is?" Dwain looked over and gave Luvenia a stare that would kill most. She just ignored it.
"Fine, I found a TV in the broadcasting place where you can easily broadcast things using any electronic device."
"Anyone else have anything actually useful?" Dwain butted in.
"Hey! I thought that was pretty useful, for one." Ufio argued for Merlin's sake despite Merlin not caring about his comment.
"I found a radish." Kacey said normally. She held up a red radish in her hands to show everyone else.
"Oh so that's where it went." Rocco hastily made his way over to the radish and grabbed it before returning to his seat
"So, The investigation was a waste is what everyone is saying." Dwain commented angrily. All the time to go to a waste, It was actually a pretty big dissapointment.
"Alright, Everyone this meeting is finished. Everyone, Let's just have some fun for now. All this stress won't help us anytime soon will it?" Luvenia seemed to awkwardly laugh after that question. Then it turned into more of an insane laughter.
"Alright. Bye." Salena was the first to leave. Everyone else followed one after another.
I decided I had nothing to do today. I wasn't going to just walk around like I was in some maze or something. So, I went to my house. It seemed like Jake did as well If I noticed correctly.
I ate a little bit of pie, Which was actually all I felt like eating. It somehow filled me up despite only eating about three pieces whilst reading a book called "The RWBY Chronicles." Featuring four young girls at a school who were fighting monsters called "Grimm" It was actually a pretty good book. There wasn't much more to read. I was tired and finished the 2nd chapter which I decided to call it a night for then.
I didn't know if it was the semi light from outside or if I simply couldn't fall asleep. When I finally did though, It felt so good. It was like I was being brought to heaven right then and there. Something still was a problem though. In my dream about...Mia...being Mia...I had a hard time. I was constantly getting thrown around, or was falling in the dream for no reason. My other, more embarrassing concern was if I was moaning right now? It was something you don't normally ask yourself but I was concerned about it. I quickly brushed off the thought before anything bad happened. Then, I awoke.
CRASH!
I looked over at my alarm clock. 3:30 AM. Then, I started to panic a bit. Why was there shattering? It wasn't loud enough to be in my house so that was slightly reassuring. But, Exactly why and what was happening? Someone wasn't trying to kill me were they? I was actually kind of scared. Before my brain could function though, I fell back asleep. Back to my nightmare...of Mia.
I awoke not to the typical announcement of it being daytime. Instead I woke up to cackling. Cackling, But not like Valiski cackling. I instantly recognised it, Since I had a dream about the person all night: Mia.
I turned around in a bit of fear to see what had happened. My once alarm clock was once again a monitor. This time, Mia was starring on it.
"Hee...Heehee...Haaa...HAHAHAHA...HEEHAHAHAHA" Mia continued to laugh like a villian. This could only mean something bad.
"So, How is everything going?" She asked with a smirk.
I took the time from her pause to try and see where she was to find her. All I saw behind her was gray and...screaming? I put that aside for now. All else I saw was that plant which was apparently a "Vern" as Tisha once said. This honestly didn't help me, considering the fact I haven't been to half the places and all the places I went to already had one.
"You know how we are in a place of murder?" At this point I couldn't tell if she was drunk or not. "Well, I was thinking: What if a murder occurred? Wouldn't that just be fantastic?~" She cooed.
I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran out of the house, just barely slipping my clothes back on and running out there. I saw everyone there except, Obviously Mia and...Kacey? I got a sick feeling in my stomach. Kacey wasn't...No...No! I simply didn't feel right
I saw the others talking in a circle but I couldn't make out what they were saying because Mia was talking over them. I saw the tv over the broadcasting center with Mia's face. The same face I saw on the other video.
However, The crazy girl continued, "So…" Then she moved the camera to face towards a scared Kacey tied up with a gag in her mouth and on the floor. Just what the actual hell was going on?
"WHAT IS THIIIIIIS?" Merlin yelled with anger. I've never seen him like this. Tisha was hiding in the background with Ufio's comfort.
"AHHHHH WHAT THE HELLLLLL!" Jake looked and instantly yelled out in pure terror. "This can't be happening…" He ended up whimpering down at the floor on his knees.
"If nobody kills someone in under five hours, You can say bye to your Kacey! KYAHAHA" ZIP!
There it was, the screen went off and we all stayed in shock. No one moved. There was nothing to do. Of course at a time like this, Wisp appeared.
"Wow! I didn't even need to make a motive this time! Awesome. Alright, I gotta go, My popcorn is probably done now! So goodluck or whatever." He disappeared after giving us his unwanted opinion.
"Alright everyone stay calm!" Luvenia said even though she was worried and scared. She was clearly under pressure. "Everyone! Split up and search for those two! We need two find them at once! I WILL NOT LET A KILLING HAPPEN!" She yelled.
Salena rolled her eyes
There was only one thing to do. Each and every single one of us split up quicker than our legs could even run. We had to save Kacey, And Mia for that matter. I searched the gates first. Damn. Next up was the library. I searched everywhere in there to no success.
The next place I decided to search was the bunker. It seemed like the best choice considering the gray background and plant being so close.
I ran there as fast as I could, I didn't even know I could run that fast for the life of me. It was something I never had to do, Running so much and so fast. Before I was able to enter the bunker I saw Derick, Hands over his mouth and barely standing with lifeless eyes. He was staring right into the bunker with a now opened door. That wasn't there before, I knew it wasn't
Then, I got another feeling. Kacey wasn't dead was she? It hadn't been five hours...It hadn't been even one! Nonetheless I slowly made my way to the door. I stood by Derick and saw one thing and one thing only.
The lifeless body of Mia Shimanuki on the cold floor.
