I was in those woods again. The ones that actually had leaves on them unlike the ones in the dreams before. But even with foliage, there still seemed to be an uneasiness here. I still questioned why it seemed familiar, but then I thought that it might have been the woods near where me and Alex had grown up. I can't remember the last time I had been there. I just seemed to never go there anymore since I was ten I think. Even when I moved in with Aunt Edna on the other side of town about four years ago, I still never went near the woods. I'm not sure why.
Then, I saw him. The little boy who had the slight resemblance to Alex. He just stood in a clearing, staring at me. I felt like I knew him from somewhere. Somewhere in my childhood. But it hurt to think back so far.
"It's your fault", he said bluntly, and I blinked in surprise at both his sudden ability to talk and at what he had to say.
"Excuse me? What do you-".
"You were with me. I looked like him. To HIM, that was enough to think I was Alex".
"What are you on about?", I demanded, trying to keep my cool. I was'nt going to get mad over some kid's words, but I can't deny what he said did spook me a little.
The boy did'nt respond and tilted his head.
"The bikes are outside the woods. Then you woke up".
"What are you even talking about? Are you just saying random stuff to tick me off?" Okay, now I was really starting to get pissed off. But the boy just walked away like nothing happened, and I began to hear a ringing. A very loud and annoying, ringing.
My eyes slowly opened up. It was completely dark. The only sources of light were comming from a open laptop, and a tv that was really acting strangely, but considering there was not one but two sources of some light, I was'nt going to complain. I froze when I began to hear a groan, but I quickly realized who it was.
"Jay? You okay?", I asked as I sat up from the bed I was on.
"Re-Rebecca? Where the heck are we?"
"I...was kinda hoping you would know".
Jay gave a small sigh and he moved off of his bed, stumbling a bit. I got off my bed and made my way to the curtains, shuffling my feet incase I stepped on something and opened them up. The area looked deffinetly new to me, and I have deffinetly no memory of comming here, and I can guess the same is for Jay.
"Jay, do you have any idea how we got here?", I asked, still looking outside the window.
"No. I remember um...we were driving to that address on the package we got that tape in. It's a blank after that. But I'm also wondering where this chest-cam came from", I turned around to see Jay gesturing to a chest cam straped to him.
"What the...how long have we be gone for?", I asked outloud before I went to the laptop, which was Jay's, and looked at the date.
"What the fuck...", I mumbled. "It's November. IT's flippin' November!"
"What?", Jay was by my side in a second and looked at the screen. "But, that means we've been gone for seven months. But I don't even remember anything, do you?" I shuck my head.
"N-no. I don't remember anything at all".
"Well...let's look around the hotel room a bit. We might find something that might help us", Jay suggested.
"Oh, how about I look in my notebook. That might help", Jay nodded.
"Yeah, you do that".
Jay began to look around the room while I went through my bag, but I had some difficulty finding my notebook. I furrowed my eyebrows as I kept rummaging through everything, untill I just emptied everything on the bed and began shoving my stuff around, still no sign of my notebook.
"Where the hell is it?"
"What's wrong?", Jay asked.
"My damn notebook is missing!"
"You sure?"
"Yes, I'm pretty damn sure!", I snapped. I took a deep breah to calm down and mumbled, "I'm sorry. It's just that I also wrote some personal stuff in there as well and well...I'm sure you can understand".
"Well, look at it like this. If anyone does find it, they may or may not know about the Marble Hornets account so chances are if they do, they might let us know and we'll get it delivered to us somehow. Or if they don't, chances are they'll ignore it", Jay pointed out, and I had to admit he was pretty much right.
"I guess your right. Sorry again about that small outburst. I just have some stuff on my mind", I mumbled as I stuffed my stuff into my bag.
"You want to talk about it later?"
"Maybe tonight. Right now we should looked around a bit more", I replied, and began to help Jay look around. Needless to say there was'nt really anything worthwhile in here. Well, untill we found the locked safe.
"What do you think could be in there?", I asked Jay, as he yapped the top of it while thinking.
"I'm not sure. But presuming this is our room, we might have put something really important in there. Who knows, you might have thrown your notebook in there as well".
"Ah, your probably right", I groaned in frustration and rubbed my face. "So, should we look around the area and see what we can find?"
"Might as well. Whether or not we've been here before, we should get familiar with the area a small bit", Jay said as he stood up. "Then we might lay low here for a while, and try and open the safe in the meantime".
By the looks of it this place was a small town, we only drove and walked around for for about an hour and a half. There were a few people around, and the weather was appropriate for November, albeit a bit sunny.
We checked the front desk and apparently we booked our room for the night. We're going to stay longer though, and try and see if we can figure anything out, or remember anything. Plus we're going to try and open the safe...somehow.
"Well, at least we don't have to sleep in the car", I mumbled as I tried another combination on the safe as Jay was looking through his bag. "Fuck!", I slammed my hand on the damn machine, after it decided after this attempt to go on a timeout.
"What is it?", Jay looked at what I was doing.
"The damn thing has some sort of lock out system if you fail to give the correct password four times for fifteen minute", I muttered before looking to Jay. "Anything usefull there?"
"Just some clothes, two flashlights, some painkillers and a key".
"Well, is'nt this a fun day".
Date: 11/28/10
Time: 19:45
My notebook has gone missing. Possibly in the hotel safe, so untill I get it back I'll have to use this stationary paper from the front desk to write down these notes either untill I find my notebook or buy a new one. Though I have to admit, the old one might have been full after seven months, so there is the possibility that I would have had to have gotten one anyway, or there are two notebooks missing.
Jay and I woke up in a hotel bedroom a couple days ago. So far the only real lead we have is the safe I mentioned. But after every four guesses it times out which is really frustrating since we don't have any idea of what the password is.
Seven months are missing from our memories, and I don't know why.
This reminds me of that biking accident I had, when I was ten. It put me in a month long coma.
But, for some reason I can't help but wonder if there really had been an accident. It's just that I keep dreaming of that kid. I think his name's...Michael? That sounds right I think.
But, none of this is connected to the current situation...is'nt it.
Never mind. This is hopefully just a dream and nothing more.
Just a dream.
Rebecca Kralie.
P.S
I really do hope to God that the notebook is in the hotel safe. If not, somewhere where no one can get it, because I did write one or two personal things in there, including what happened to me during my first encounter with Masky.
