Chapter 10: Puzzle Solving and Nightmares
*Mia's POV*
I followed Ian back to the 'club house'. We'd gotten all the notes and Rin took a beating to get the last one for us, and by his own brother. Luckily Ian reacted and somehow got him to go away. Only Ian's been silent this whole walk. Not like he's mad or anything more like something's bothering him.
"Ian, your very quiet. You ok?" I asked.
"... Yeah, I'm fine." He replied.
"You hesitated."
"... Just something Ren said, it's not important though."
"It might be..."
"Maybe, but I don't think he's in his right mind so what he said could've been total nonsense."
"I guess... Can you tell me though? Just in case..."
"... He said something about Slender having special plans for me."
"Special plans?"
"I don't know, I mean I think he'll just kill me in a way I most fear. I mean what else could it be?"
"I guess... But, be careful..."
He nods and the house comes into view. We walk inside and into the 'living area'. I take off my hoodie and ball it up so Rin has something for his head. Ian gently lays him down and we walk a few feet away and Ian pulls out the notes and laid them down letter side up.
"Ok so we have A, O, U, W, H, R, S and 2 Es. My guess is we have to make a word with these letters." Ian said.
"Hmmm... Well let's get started." I reply.
Ian mutters something I don't quite catch.
"What Ian?" I ask.
"Oh, I said I wished the guys were here. This would be a lot easier with them..." He replied.
"Yeah..." Speaking of which, did my parents even know I was here? I hope not, this might be behind their understanding. I don't even understand. When we get out we'll figure out how to explain.
We start re-arranging the letters trying to make a word, but what would we do when we figure it out? Go there? I guess so... But what would be different? I guess we'd just have to find out.
~~~
After about an hour of re-arranging and coming up with jiberish we finally made a word that makes sense: WAREHOUSE.
"That doesn't sound fun..." I mumble.
"No, not good at all. But I think it's where we have to go..." Ian replied.
We hear a shuffle from behind us and turn around to see Rin sitting up and stretching.
"Rin!" We cry.
He looks at us and smiles. He's got two black eyes from his really bruised nose but other than that he looked ok.
"Hey guys, did you figure it out?" He asked.
"Yes actually. Warehouse. Is there one around here?" Ian answers.
Rin's eyes widen and he shudders. "Th-that place is freaky..."
"Freaky? In what sense?"
"It's too weird to explain... But you won't like it."
An eerie silence swept over us for awhile till I gathered the courage to break it.
"Let's rest up a little while first, then we can go." I said.
"Ok, just a quick rest though." Ian mutters.
"I'll keep watch." Rin piped in.
"Thanks dood."
Rin nods and heads over by the door way and sits down, while Ian leans against a wall and closes his eyes and I lay down using my hoodie as a pillow. I hope for a dreamless nap. But I get the opposite.
~Dream~
Ian, Rin and I are heading towards a large fenced off property. This must be the warehouse. My stomach churns with nerves and I feel goosebumps crawl up my arms. Both Ian and Rin are pale and their eyes are wide.
"Ready?" Ian whispers so soft it's barley audible.
Rin gives a shaky thumbs up and I give a small nod.
"Then lez go! One two three!" Ian cries and we all charge into the door which swings open letting us through.
Inside, it's black. I couldn't even see my hand which was right in front of my face.
"Ian! Rin!" I call but no response, just an echo through out the blackness.
I begin looking for the door we came in but no matter which way I went I never found a wall. It was like the darkness continued on forever. I start to panic. I just wanna go home! To eat those pancakes my parents made! My eyes sting as tears begin to prick them and threaten to fall.
"I JUST WANNA GO HOME!!!" I scream though I know no one will hear me.
Suddenly Slender appears in front of me, his slick white face almost appearing to glow. Behind him is a woman in a white blood stained hoodie with black sweatpants. She had black hair, and black eyes, black and soulless, like you were staring into a void. She was a proxy, a worker of Slender.
'You can never go home...' Slender hissed and the proxy behind him screamed an ear piercing scream and ran at me. I turned around and tried to run away but she caught up quick and tackled me from behind. I rolled over onto my back and tried to throw her off but she wrapped her hands around my throat and held tight cutting off oxygen. I struggled to throw her off but her grip was iron tight. My vision turned fuzzy and the last thing I saw was her pulling out something bloody and silver and plunged it into my stomach. I screamed and jolted awake.
~end dream~
I panted and looked around. Ian was still asleep and Rin was right next to me.
"Hey, you ok?" He asked. "You screamed."
I give him a small nod but then realize I'm shaking and am covered in goosebumps and a cold sweat.
"You sure? Your shaking."
"J-just a bad dream."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"Do they happen often here?"
"Depends, I've had my fair share."
I nod and take a deep breath. I look over at Ian who's still asleep but I guess it's not a good sleep. His eyes are scrunched shut and he looks uncomfortable. I grab my hoodie and put it on, I'm still cold and tired but that dream was very vivid and I'm still scared. Rin put a hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me.
"Thanks Rin." I whisper.
He nods. Ian makes a small noise and we look over at him. Is he having a nightmare too?
*Ian's POV*
~Dream~
It's dark. Rin, Mia and I walked into te warehouse and now I couldn't see anything. Just blackness.
"Mia?! Rin?!" I yell but I receive no response.
I walked around a little bit but it's so dark I can't tell where I'm going. Suddenly Mia's and Rin's screams filled the blackness and I panic. "Mia! Rin!" I cry and break into a run but it feels as though I'm not going anywhere. "Guys!" Then I feel something hit me on the back of the head and everything goes white.
~~~
When I opened my eyes I was in a small room, inside a glass box tied to a chair. I pulled on the restraints but the knots held firm. I looked around. I heard a small click and the room got a bit brighter and Mia and Rin were tied to chairs in front of me all bloody and bruised.
"Guys!" I cried but it just echoed threw the glass box. Sound proof. Dammit.
They looked at me and their eyes widened. As they did Slender appeared in between them with a shadowy figure behind him. My first guess was Ren but the figure was bit too skinny to be Ren. My head pounded as I looked at him and my blood ran cold as he made his way over to a switch and pulled it and water began to fill the glass box. I'm afraid of the sea so of course my most feared way to die is drowning. Mia and Rin's eyes widen and they pull on their restraints and the shadow stepped into the light and my heart skipped a beat and fell to my stomach. The figure was me. But a more deranged version. 'I' was wearing a ripped and blood stained navy blue t-shirt and black pants. 'I' was much paler, my hair was a mess and my eyes were black with red crescents for irises. Soulless but at the same time full of anger and hate with the look of ready to kill. The water was up to my chest but my eyes were glued to my friends. I was afraid and I knew they were too. Then with a flash of silver, the black eyed version of me stabbed Rin in the stomach with a large knife. Rin's eyes widened with terror and Mia's mouth opened to scream a scream I couldn't hear. He coughed up blood and the blood from the wound stained his shirt.
"Rin!" I yelled and pulled on the ropes. The water was up to my neck and the ropes held tight.
I took a deep breath as the water rose above my nose and mouth. I just want this not to be real. To wake up and I'm at home! I want to get out of here! My mind is screaming for air and as the edges of my vision turn black I hear Slenders voice in my head as a raspy whisper. 'This is what you'll become...'
No! NO!!! As my vision fades I see the black eyed version of me stab Mia in the chest.
~end dream~
I jolt awake and look around. Mia and Rin are sitting in the middle of the room. Mia looks pale but they're both unharmed. I sigh of relief and lean back. It was just a dream
"Ian you ok?" Rin asks.
I give a small nod but am I? I shudder, that was too scary for me, my eyes were even a teary. But it was just a nightmare. That would never happen...
"You guys ready?" Rin asked standing up.
My stomach sinks and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I don't want to go to this warehouse anymore... but we have to if we have a chance to get out of here. Mia gives a nod and I give a small sighs and stand up.
"Let's do dis." I say.
"Alright, but be careful and watch your backs." Rin replies.
Mia stands up and we head outside. Both my heart and mind are racing and all I can think is: please let nothing go wrong.
