Shivering, cowering; the trembling boy suppressed his whimpers.
Charmed by the view, "I'm inside your room." Kuromi was hypnotised by all the small things. She'd never seen such a simple children's room, especially not one with books. So you're a reader, huh? Trailing her fingers over the worn spines made her realize she couldn't remember the last time she'd seen a child hold, let alone read, a book. However the distraction did not last long as she quickly remembered her waiting prey. "Where are you hiding?" Almost reaching an orgasmic ecstasy, she could barely let the words leave her mouth as she warned him; "the game is almost at an end".
The black dress floated like a mushroom momentarily as she kneeled to the ground. "Ahh, even though I looked under your bed… You're not here."
It felt like a fire was going off in his head, as if a bomb was constantly exploding. His cold sweat drenched his body as it began to say ever so slightly in the confined area. A machete-like kitchen knife was slowly slipping out of his grip.
"What about here?" The tips of her golden hair brushed the floorboards as she tilted her head to look under the desk. Tch. With a distasteful click of the tongue her small charcoal eyes scanned the room. "Next…" The voice trailed off in thought.
Ah. My head hurts… he barely had the strength to keep his eyes open and he could feel every ounce of energy oozing out of his body as he slipped in and out of consciousness. He vaguely recognized the sounds of his furniture being moved or opened as she searched for him. I can't. Not yet. Please, just don't let me fall asleep. A single tear slid lazily down his cheek. I have to save her. I can't sleep yet because I have to save her. I have to save Celeste.
Head swaying to the imagined song, Kuromi searched every aspect of the room. She looked under cushions, behind desks; she even popped her head outside to make sure she hadn't missed him. She was beginning to be irked by the lack of the young boy she was trying to find. Her hair rose and swayed from a non-existent wind as her impatience rose.
I have to save Celeste. She needs me, she's waiting. I have to save. That's why… That's why I can't… I can't… Fall asleep.
Such a miniscule sound, no louder than a mouse, but to trained ears the clink of metal was enough. You seem to have forgotten the most important rules, little boy. You already missed so many, but now?
When hiding, don't make a noise.
When hiding, don't fall asleep.
No matter what, don't let the doll catch you unaware.
Giggles bubbled out of her delicate mouth, her cheeks ached from smiling. So you were here all along. Next hiding spot to look is… She wasted no time gripping the handle hard enough to draw blood as she swung the door open wide. Your closet!
"Je t'ai trouvé!" Her laughter louder than thunder, her bliss so heightened that she didn't even realize she didn't know French. Dagger's glinted from the light as her pale lips revealed the row of canines. Je t'ai trouvé!
