Techno was startled awake by a slamming door. He groaned and sat up.

He stretched and stood from the bed. Techno had finished his work the day before, meaning he was free for the day. And like any normal person he's gonna look for secrets in the house.

One such 'secret' was the space in-between the sitting room and a storage area. There was a space next to the chimney that was hollow, so his plan is to get in.

He walks to the sitting room and stares at the wall. In front of it was a dresser.... That he now had to move.

Damn Phil and his need for storage.

Techno walked twords the dresser and tried to decide the best way of moving it. After a minute he decided to grab one side and pull.

He struggled for a good ten minutes before finally exposing the face of the wall. He sighed and leaned against the piece of furniture, only to be knocked down by the dresser moving itself back into place.

Techno stared. There was no explanation for the heavy thing to move itself. The floor wasn't that uneven, and, again, it was heavy.

Techno shuddered and decided to try again. After all, if some force didn't want him in there, there must be something good inside.

He took his former stance and pulled the dresser again. Like last time once it was out of the way it moved back. So he thought it over.

He could push back against whatever was pushing the dresser, but he would probably be crushed against the wall. He could move the dresser farther away, it would probably take longer for whatever force to move it back into place.

He chose the latter. He pulled the dresser then fangled it down the hall into his room. He then sprinted back to the sitting room.

Down near the floor there was an indent in the wall, probably the reason Phil had put the dresser there in the first place. Up higher on the wall there was wrinkling in the wallpaper.

Techno worked it out in his head and used the indent as a handle, pulling the piece of the wall up.

As he had expected, there was empty space.

He took a deep breath and crawled in. On the roof there was a naked lightbulb and a pull chain. He pulled the chain and the room was illuminated.

It was clearly a closet, and a small one at that. Techno's head was nearly touching the ceiling.

On one side there was a wooden bar that held clothing at one point, but was now just an annoyance to the tall man. On the floor below it was a box.

It wasn't a particularly interesting box. It was made of cardboard and closed. That must be what was being hidden from him.

He knelt down, gently opening the box. Inside was a verity of small objects.

A plush bee, some drawings, a blanket, and two vinyls. The only things that really caught Technos attention were the vinyls. Both had differently colored centers, one green and the other purple checked.

Techno tried to remember if Phil or Will had a record player, but he didn't think either of them did.

He sighed and glanced up from the box, up to the walls. There he saw something he wish he hadn't.

Written across the wall was the same type of words. 'let me out'.

Techno felt like time had frozen. He reached twords the exit, only to find that it blocked.

He felt his blood run cold. He was trapped. He reached for his phone only to realize that it wasn't in his pocket, he had left it on his bed.

He heard the voice of a man. One that wasn't familiar to him.

"Stay in there until you can act right."

"Be good and we'll let you out in a hour"

"Stop being such a nuisance"

Techno felt a since of confusion, dread, and helplessness. Where was the voice coming from? And what was it talking about.

Techno found himself banging against the walls. His mouth opened to yell for help. But nobody came.

No one was home.

He was alone.

Techno fell to the ground and rapped his arms around his knees. He felt tears falling out of his eyes.

Soon, he lost consciousness.

W

ilbur went out to get food with a friend. He had planned to stay out longer, but Schlatt had an emergency to run off to. So he had no other choice than to go home.

He walked into the house to an unexpected silence. Techno usually had some kind of noise going. Whether it was a game or something else was up in the air, but there was always something.

He walked upstairs to Technos room, finding nothing. Strange.

Maybe he was out with Skeppy?

Will took his phone out and messaged Technos friend. He soon got the simple response of 'no'.

Techno hardly went out, the times he did were quick. But this time felt off. He decided to message Techno.

He heard a ding in the other room.

...

Anxiety flooded Wilbur. His friends phone was on his bed, but he was nowhere to be found.

He took a deep breath and decided to walk around the house. Perhaps he was in the kitchen or something. Or in the bathroom! Or something...

Wills search was quick. He walked around and checked the house, finding nothing.

Maybe Techno had forgotten his phone? But where would he have gone? He didn't have a car and didn't have all that many friends.

He ran upstairs, dread building in his chest," Techno! If this is some kind of joke it's not funny!"

"help..." Said a small voice from inside the wall.

"Techno?"

He walked to the wall and gently hit it. Definitely hollow.

Will grabbed the dresser and dragged it away, freeing the trapped man.

Techno crawled out pulled Will into a hug. Will, who wasn't expecting the Technoblade to hug him, stumbled backwards. He gained his balance and hugged Techno back.

"How did you... How did the dresser get infront of that?" Wilbur asked, if Techno was the only one in the house...

"Will there's something in the house. It moves by itself!" Techno cried, pointing at the motionless piece of furniture.

Will looked over at it,"Tech have you been sleeping? And taking your medicine...?"

"Will you came in and it was infront of the damn closet! How would I move it there?" Techno yelled pushing himself off of Will.

"Look we'll talk about this when Phil gets home." Will sighed, walking to his room.

Leaving the distraught man alone to watch the dresser move to it's place infront of the closet.
