Chapter 12【Leo】
"Alright, so...
It all started with my mum and dad, Daquice and Triquo(pronounced Try-Ko). We were not a poor family, but not that wealthy either. We lived in a neighborhood that housed serial killers, I don't know why, but they were never arrested. Year after year, the population in our neighborhood decreased, the people who were killed increasing each year.
My parents were, of course, very scared for my sister, Rowan, and my safety. Every week, they tried non-stop to find a new house to buy, but there wasn't one. Of course, on rare occasions, there were, but rare occasions are rare, aren't they?
Then one day, when I went out with a walk with my mum, a pair of psychopaths captured us. After awhile of staying at their place, my mum was murdered. They let me go, and I came back to find my father dead as well. Rowan was no where to be seen, that is, until I go to my neighbors place.
They take us in, their names were Uzi and Zoanna. They were so kind, those two. But one day, Ro ran away. I don't know how, for I wasn't there, but Uzi told me that it was all too much for her, and so she ran away from home.
I celebrate-and still do-the different occasions, for example, Rowan's birthday, or, my mum's birthday. Or my parents' death day, that too yeah. And their anniversary, too." That was quite a lot for me to say, and so I paused for a short breath, letting Smith take this in. His face was stunned.
"S-so what happens when their death day comes? He asks, a little uncertainty. Just my luck, I was hoping he wouldn't ask this. Well fuck me then.
"Uh, I get... Nightmares." I reply softly, looking away from him. His eyes furrow into a look of pity, and he gives a doleful look.
"So, I'm guessing that you're still trying to look for Rowan?"
"You could put it that way. I'm failing, though." I sigh, a tinge of depression in my voice.
"Are you worried?"
"Of course, I mean, I couldn't find my sister in thr last nine years, what makes me think I can do it now, right? But yeah, you could put it that way. I still do care, you know." I say, shifting my seating a little. A sudden thought comes to me that makes my heart sink. "W-what if she's... Dead?"
Smith gives me a sad smile. "I remember when I was this worried," he starts. "My mother had a heart disease. Well, that only after she had it transferred..." His sentence trails off, leaving me thinking. Transferred?
"Right. So, my mum was born with a hole in her heart, I don't know why, but yeah. Her parents couldn't afford the cost of making a heart transplant at that time, so she had a hole all the way until she was nineteen.
The university she went to gave her some money to get her heart fixed up, as it wasn't that bad yet. The doctors managed to do something to mend it, not sure if they added something or stitched it back, but I'm not sure stitching would've worked well with her weak heart.
Once she gave birth to me, her heart was failing. Our father, who was already dying because of a brain tumor, wanted, on his death wish, to donate his heart to my mum to let her live. He died the following day, and the doctors carried out a heart transplant after checking the heart was healthy and good. After several weeks, my mother was a-okay." He paused for a breath, then continued. "Three years down the line, and it turned out that my dad's heart had a bug of some sort that caused my mum to have heart failure.
We returned to the hospital, and the doctors x-rayed her heart, and it so happened that it was in stage 2 already.
After a year or so, the disease escalated, and my mum soon died." His voice becomes grim, and he looks down. I feel so bad for him, almost as if I should tell him how mum and dad died... But no. I don't trust him, not that much, at least. Just then, I get a text from Sparkles*.
*Hey, we're starting to play the video. You coming?
/ Yeah, give a minute, I'll be there soon
* Ok
I look up at Smith.
"I need to go now." I say, getting up. His face falls, just a little.
"Ok. Uh, can we talk later?"
"I'll be busy... Maybe on Sunday? You can pop over at our place." I suggest, getting a smile from him.
"Sure. At 1?" He asks. I nod.
"See you around." I leave the room, taking the elevator up to our music studio. I open the door, only to see Sparkles* sat there at the computer.
"Sorry." I apologise, before he clicks on the play button. The Hat Films' song repeats a few times, before Sparkles* stops it.
"Ideas, anybody?"
The four of us spend the whole afternoon practicing the song, then trying the different tunes and tweaking it here and there. Once we settled on one, we let the Sirs listen to it. They were pretty happy, to say the least.
After a little more modifications, the Hat Lads decided that they would stick with that version. Sparkles* got ready the recording instruments at the Hat Lads' mics, then let them do the singing, Sparkles* doing backup. In the end, we were all quite satisfied with the end product. We let Lewis and a few others listen to it, and they were amused.
After giving the MP3 version to them, we headed back home.
Kogie, however, wanted to go back to the hospital and visit Arissa, so we let him go. For some strange reason of her own, Kim wanted me back at the office, to record something, I presume. That left the Sparkii have only three occupants.
"Hey Leo, so, uh, Hannah and I want some more Fright Night episodes, and you seemed like the perfect vict- Uh, I mean person to play." She quickly corrects herself. I raised my eyebrows. Hannah walks into the room and whispers something to the shorter girl. Kim nods.
"So, have you heard of Five Night's At Frddy's?" Hannah inquiries, sitting on one of the office chairs. I shake my head.
"No..." Kim and Hannah suddenly have this wild grin on their faces.
"He's going to be just like Duncan." Kim says softly. It was soft just for Hannah to hear, but loud enough for me. I grew more and more suspicious.
"Anyway," Hannah continues, "we'll start now. Go put on a headset." She gestures to the pair of headphones on the table. I sit on the vacant chair and put the headset of my ears, hearing the muffled murmuring of the computer starting. Kim turns the cameras on and positions them to face me.
"Sam?" Hannah says into the headset, once she has hers on. "Yeah, okay. We're ready."
"3, 2, 1..."
"Hey guys and welcome back to Fright Night! You might recognise this guy over here to be, uh, some person-with-brown hair from Area 11!" Kim exclaims in mock enthusiasm. I give her an unimpressed look.
"Hello. I am not Leo." I say, looking at the camera. "This is a bastard." I point at Kim, who's laughing. Hannah grins.
"We're going to play Five Nights At Freddy's 3! Leo, are you ready?" Kim asks.
"Yeah, totally. I'm so not going to shit my pants." I reply sarcastically. Kim rolls her eyes.
"Night one..." Hannah and Kim make spooky noises, trying to scare me.
Apparently, according to the phone person, I'm starring as the security guard. There is a glass window in front of me, and a blue panel with arrows at the right side, then when I move my mouse to the left, there is what seems to be somewhat of a door, and a... Golden teddy bear costume? It's creepy, for the inside is hollow. On the bottom of the left side is a yellow panel, and when I click on it, a screen pops up.
System Restart
Menu
Audio Devices
Camera Systems
Ventilation
Reboot All
Exit
Hmm, I wonder what is this used for? I click exit, and the screen closes. The guy on the phone is still blabbering away, so I just explore around. Since the yellow panel opened up into something, the blue one ought to as well.
"Guys..." I say. "What's the objective of the game?" I click on the blue panel, and another screen comes up, this time different from the yellow one. There are different 'Cams' and a Map Toggle option. That shows the vents.
"Why the fuck would they have security cameras in thw vents?" I ask, directed to both of them.
"I don't know, maybe because there could be some messed up creepy animal that's coming for you, and it can come through the vents?" Kim guesses. I can tell that she knows more than I do, and that is partially the truth.
Suddenly, the screen goes black and '5:59' appears on the screen, slowly changing to '6:00AM'
"So the goal is to reach 6 am?" I inquire, as white lines buzz on the screen. Kim and Hannah give me something that looks like a nod, and giggle. I give them a very unimpressed look, which earns we a laugh from the two.
I play until night three, when the stupid so-called animatronic, Springtrap, got me. Hannah and Kim seems well amused, as the content they just got was high.
"Okay thanks Leo!" Kim grins, hi-fiving me for the great video. "We better get going then, it's pretty late." I glance down at my watch, which from the time reads, 10:56pm.
"Oh, yeah. I say, smiling. "It was fun guys. But I'm, uh, all freddied-out, so... Never playing this game again." The two girls chuckle, as Hannah grabs her bag laying on thw floor.
"Let's go." She announces, flicking the switch for the lights.
A/n:
Sorry for the lack of updates, I just haven't been in the mood these past few days. My exams are also coming, next week actually, but I'll try to write some more chapters. I have another account called SorryFever, and I'm also currently writing a story there. I'll reveal the infomation here, because my friends don't know this account.(HA!) So, theres this girl called Kayla Fowler, she's 21, and her sis is Anya(MintyMinute). Basically, my friend, Jamie, came up with that, and the description is basically describing how she looks irl.
But anyway, I'll see you soon.
