Chapter 4 Enter Riba!
Brendan walks and sees a woman.
?: …...
Brendan: Uh...
?: You can't leave, your body is mine.
Brendan: Wait! What thinks you can just use my body? Who are you to just take what you want?
?: You're not supposed to be here in the first place. You wanted to know the truth, right?
Brendan: Yes but-
Suddenly Brendan teleports to a new area. He walks forward and at the end he sees a red-haired girl.
Brendan: Hello? Who are you?
…...
Brendan: Wait you're...! *Choke* You're...! You're...! (Something is coming out of my mouth!)
Blood begins to flow out of his mouth.
Brendan: It's *gasp* flowing out of my mouth!
?: When will you learn? I wonder... How much can I break you? Ever heard of curiosity killed the cat? Ha-ha! Because of your stupid curiosity, it's going to get you killed!
Brendan: Ugh...
?: That Music box it holds-
Suddenly everything flashes.
?: Hey can you hear me?
Brendan: Huh? Where am I?
Brendan wakes up.
Riba: Hey you ok?
Brendan: Hm? Who are you?
Riba: I tried to introduce myself to you earlier but you ran off before I could.
Brendan: Sorry if I did... It's just I've been having very painful headaches.
Riba: It's no trouble. I'm glad you're ok. My name is Riba, I'm investigating this home myself.
Brendan: Ah... My name is Brendan, I too came here to investigate.
Riba: Hey don't stress yourself so much, you've been through a lot.
Brendan: I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
Riba: If you don't mind, I'll go with you. It's not safe for a child to be roaming around in a place like this on their own.
Brendan: Thanks, it's nice to have some company.
New Entry
Was it a dream?:
I saw a woman in my dream. And she mentioned something about the music box. I saw a child too... I feel I like I've seen her somewhere before... Maybe my new friend Riba can help me get out of here.
Brendan finds a note.
Psychos, Psychos... they're all psychos... Ever since she died the other have gone hostile. They didn't tell us how she died all we know is that she fell of the garden cliff. I think it was murder. I don't think it was an accident. And I know it's-
Brendan: Ah... What is this feeling?
Riba: You ok? Do you need more rest?
Brendan: I'm... fine...
Brendan seems to cry...
Riba: Hey there's no need to cry. We will get out I promise you.
Brendan: I'm not crying... Ah! That's odd...
Riba: Ha-ha, its ok to cry from fear.
Brendan: But I wasn't crying!
New Entry
Someone is dead?:
I read a note about someone dying? Apparently, this person died from falling off the garden cliff. The person who wrote the note says it was murder. Is it even safe anymore?
Brendan and Riba proceed to the garden cliff.
Brendan: We can't proceed. There's a large gap that even I can't jump over.
Riba: Why would you jump over? You can't grab onto anything. You'll slip and fall. Hmm... I know where we can find a plank that we can use as a bridge.
Brendan: Are you sure that's even safe?
Riba: Well do you have any ideas?
Brendan: I don't... Sorry...
Riba: If I remember the plank is long enough to support at least one of us.
Brendan: Let's go then.
Riba: It's okay, I can find it quicker. If only I remember where it is... I'll go alone for now.
Brendan: Are you sure? We can go together. What if you fall through a hole or something?
Riba: It's ok, I won't get lost or hurt.
Brendan: … (What should I do?)
Insist on going with him: s/12876573/2/Choices
Let him go alone: Go past this point.
Brendan: (I should give him the lantern then.)
Give the Lantern: s/12876573/3/Choices
Keep it: Go past this point.
Brendan: Ok at least take the Lantern.
Riba: No, it's fine, it's better for you to be safe.
Brendan: Hah, I can take care of myself.
Riba: Which is why I am letting you stay here, there's less danger here than there is in the house.
Brendan: Hm.
Riba: Now I'll be back. If you're not here I'll come looking for you.
Brendan: Mhm.
Riba proceeds into the house. He looks through a certain bookshelf that seems... interesting.
Riba: ...I'll just put this back.
?: Come here...~
Riba: AH! No! Better run.
Riba runs into another room.
Riba: Alright. Time to find that plank.
Riba continues into the room and finds a doll room.
Riba: Dolls are creepy. Really creepy. Ah there's the plank!
Riba obtained plank.
Riba: Oh, there's something else here.
Riba obtained the box of matches.
Riba: Hm? There's something else here.
Suddenly a spirit appears.
Riba: Ah!
?: You killed me... now I will kill you.
Riba: (I should run! I need to dodge it's attack first. Wait for it...)
?: Come here I just want to talk...
Riba dodges the attack and runs away. He locks the door.
Riba: I have to get back to Brendan, he might be in danger.
Riba heads for an exit when suddenly Brendan appears. Though something seems slightly off...
Riba: Oh. Are you ok?
Brendan: …
He pulls out a knife.
Riba: Ah! Brendan, what are you doing?!
Brendan: ….
Riba: Brendan? Are you listening to me?
Brendan: …...
Riba: Stop it!
Brendan: Ha-ha... since when did YOU ever feel fear?
Riba: What?
Brendan: Do you really not remember me?
Riba: No... You're...
Brendan: I took this body to finally get to you... To finally... KILL YOU!
Riba: Ah! Get away from me!
Brendan: What's wrong? You are scared me? ~
Riba: I have to find a way to make Brendan snap out of it!
Riba runs while 'Brendan' chases. Riba locks the door.
Riba: There!
Brendan: Open the door! ~
Riba: (That door won't stay locked for long. I have to hide! Ah maybe in the closet!)
As Riba enters the closet 'Brendan' enters the room.
Riba: …
Brendan: Where are you? I know you're here!
Riba: (I can't believe it's her... I have to do something to make Brendan snap out of it)
Brendan: Come on darling, don't run from me. ~
Riba: (What do I do?)
Brendan: I'll find you. I know you're still here. ~
Riba: (I'm going to strike. Maybe I can beat him out of it.)
Riba grabs 'Brendan' by the neck.
Brendan: Ahghgggh!
Riba: I must do this!
Brendan: AggghhhHHH!
Riba: I shouldn't overdo it now.
Brendan: Aghhhh! Stop... Stop...!
Riba: I should stop!
Keep Choking him: s/12876573/4/Choices
Let go: Go past this point
Brendan: Ahhhhh...
Riba: Brendan are you ok?! Stay with me!
…
Brendan: This sound again... Why am I here again?
?: Brendan!
Brendan: Max! Brock! Guys come back tell me what's going on?! I have to follow them. They might be in danger.
Brendan comes to a door.
Brendan: Maybe they went in here...
Seemingly a flashback appears.
Alfred: Lady Alice a guest has arrived.
Alice: Oh? Who are you?
?: I have come on Lady Alice's request.
Alfred: Hm? Is this true Milady?
Alice: Uh...
?: Allow me to refresh your memory I'm _.
Alice: Oh yes! Come in! Come in! I'm very sorry about your jacket. I'll have our servant clean it up.
?: It's quite alright. I cleaned it up myself.
Alice: I'll take care of him Alfred, you can leave.
Alfred: Let me know when you need me then milady.
Alfred leaves.
Alice: You're very handsome _.
?: Oh Alice, you're quite the jewel yourself.
Alice: Oh Teehee~, stop it. We'll be together forever...
Brendan: Ow stop...
Alice: And ever...
Brendan: Stop...
Alice: And ever...
Brendan: STOPPPPPPP!
?: There's too much blood... I have to do something!
Brendan: Ugh...
Riba: Brendan! You're awake! Hold on I'm going to get something...
Brendan: No more...
Riba: Huh? What are you talking about?
Brendan: No more! I just want to go home!
Riba: Brendan snap out of it!
Riba slaps him.
Brendan: Ow!
Riba: Come on! Fight it! I know you want to go home as much as I want but you have to remember we can't leave so easily.
Brendan: Ok, Ok there was no need to slap me.
Riba: Blood was coming out of your mouth and you were hyperventilating, I had no choice. Are you ok? Do you need rest?
Brendan: I should be fine. I don't feel any pain.
Riba: Don't scare me like that, here let me help you up.
Brendan: Thanks.
Riba helps Brendan up.
Brendan: So, what happened exactly? Did I just pass out?
Riba: I guess you could say that...
Brendan: Huh? What do you mean? Was I doing something?
Riba: (...I don't think he will believe he was possessed. He will only freak out.) No, you just passed out on me.
Brendan: I should be fine then. Hm? What's this?
Brendan pulls out the knife.
Riba: Watch it with that Knife!
Brendan: AH! When did I pick this up?!
Riba: ...You uh... found it somewhere.
Brendan: Oh, did I? I can't seem to remember.
Riba: You passed out right after. But thank goodness you didn't land on it.
Brendan: Hm..(He's lying to me.)
Riba: Anyway, after you passed out the houses orientation had changed.
Brendan: Oh?
Riba: Before we were in a nursery room. Suddenly everything flashed and turned to this room. Something has to be watching us. There's no way these occurrences are happening exactly where we are located.
Brendan: Let's hope not. We just have to find a way out of here.
Riba: ...You know... Someone was looking for you.
Brendan: What?! Who was it?!
Riba: It was your friend. Red bandanna, Red clothes, slightly shorter.
Brendan: May! We have to find her, she must be in a worse situation then we are!
Riba: Wait Brendan I don't think that's a good idea.
Lie: Go past this point.
Truth: s/12876573/5/Choices
Riba: It wasn't May. It was an illusion.
Brendan: But how did you know what she looked like?
Riba: It was projected from you. An apparition that came from your memory.
Brendan: You're right. Better safe than sorry.
Riba: Let's be off then.
Brendan: Right.
Well that's the end. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Originally this was intended to end with Riba betraying Brendan but that will be in the next chapter for two reasons. This chapter has been held off long enough and I was supposed to post it last week. The second reason is that I've been getting a lot of reviews about how script format is banned on the site so I wanted to put this chapter out as soon as possible so I could start writing in story format. So, from now on I will no longer be writing in script format. Well that covers everything I wanted to say. Thanks for reading!
