Chapter 03
It was dark in there. Nothingness all around me. I don't know how long I have been walking. I'm exhausted but I couldn't stop it. I was not in control. There's something else nudging me to move. Time to time I felt a presence behind me. Maybe it's because of the darkness. I was scared. I don't knowhow long I have to go on. My feet were bleeding. I was gasping for breath. My face and palms were all sweaty.
I kept going on and on, until I heard a strange noise. I couldn't understand where it was coming from, then I heard a click.
I shot my eyes open. It took me few seconds to realise where I was. I was on the bed and the sound I heard was the bedroom door closing. I couldn't see who it was.
I straightened myself and went to the window to shove the curtains aside, to let the light come in. I found the six of them getting in the car and leaving. I think they left for work.
I thought of it as a good time to explore the building. Even though i can do it any time without them noticing, I didn't want to run into something that I might regret seeing later.
Like last time I went out of the room without touching the knob. It actually feels good. The tingling, like I was vapourizing from the atmosphere.
One thing I noticed was, I didn't have any urges. Like using the washroom, crave for food or anything. But even then I went to the kitchen and found some food left in the counter.
Will it not turn bad if they leave it out like that? So I took them and left it in the refrigerator. If they come back shortly, then I will leave it where they left it. I thought to myself.
This house is big. On the ground floor there are two bedrooms. One is really large, seeing the extra bags, I assumed two of them might be using it. The other room was comparatively smaller to the previous one but has the same size as the one I used before. Both rooms were a combination of grey and white. Attached to the kitchen there is a private space, more like a family living room, with a piano at the corner. I love to play piano. I hope I was a pianist before I lost my memory. Other than these there is a guest living, a dining room and a pantry.
I hopped on the steps one by one to the top floor. I didn't go in the first room because that's where I was yesterday. So I went in to the room opposite. Just like I thought all the other bedrooms were the size of the one I used. This bedroom had a green and white theme going on.
The next one I entered was a bedroom too but black and white theme. That means they were all getting prepared to move in here a lot before my arrival. How else could they colour coordinate all this within a single day? I scoffed.
Did I hear something? I closed the distance between me and the last door that was left. I focussed intensely to hear any slight movement.
Nothing. Maybe I was imagining stuff. Just like that I went in without even bothering to open.
'Aaahhhh' I was screaming the hell out of me the next moment. I didn't expect to see a half naked man in front of me. Hearing my scream he turned around to see me, he didn't hesitate to start screeching. After a battle of yelling, we stopped.
I didn't think twice I hastily opened the door and shut it behind me. I sprinted to the basement, hoping he wouldn't follow me. I was breathing heavily, not because I'm tired, but I'm scared.
It took me few minutes to sink in, he was able to see me, he heard my scream. How....how is it possible? None of the others did. Did I halucinate all of this?
Wait...if he saw me then that means he will look for me for sure and will also tell the others. What am I gonna do?
Anyways it's best to stay low, especially from that man.
