(....So....it's been a minute....sorry. T~T this isn't really gonna be a happy chapter, whoops :D )

         It's been two weeks since you played Help Wanted. After you had left the game you avoided ever going in your gaming room. During the first week you were constantly afraid that Glitchtrap was somehow gonna find a way out and come attack you, possibly kill you. Over this last week however your nerves had finally calmed down and you started thinking about the incident, how Glitch never chased you outside the hallway. He said he wanted to explain...you put you head in your hands. This was giving you a headache. You wanted so badly to go back and let him explain himself.

        But your paranoia was still getting the better of you. You were still scared it was all a trick and that he was gonna trap you in the game if you went back. But he could have easily done that one of the many times you left your body, hell you had even fallen asleep in the game and he could have easily just left you there. You had finally made up your mind, paranoia be damned. You stood up from the couch and ran up the stairs two at a time, quickly getting to your gaming room. You picked up your headset from where you had thrown it, sighing in relief when you saw it wasn't broken, and put it on.

       You grabbed your controllers and started up Help Wanted. It, for some reason, took 30 minutes to load and start. You had ended up sitting on the floor while waiting. When the game finally started you smiled and stood up, selecting continue you headed to the main area of the game. It...wasn't how you were expecting. It was destroyed. Tables were upturned and some broken in half, while other were shattered. The chairs were all strewn about, some of them were also broken into pieces. The console  in front of you had chucks missing in the back, with the screen glitching out.

      The stage curtain was tattered and from what you could see so was everything else behind it. Pirates cove was basically gone, the stage bashed in and the curtain was gone, torn apart, with the pieces all over the party area. The most noticeable thing however, which was saying a lot all things considered, was how the room and chunks of code visible in the ceiling, walls, and floor. Glitched spikes sticking up everywhere. The floor was cracked and uneven because of it, the walls looked ready to collapse and any second, and the ceiling honestly didn't even look like a ceiling anymore.

        You took a deep breathe to calm your nerves and hopped out of your body. Once you found Glitchtrap you would ask him what happened. So you took off in the direction of his room, hoping he would be there and make this a very short search. Luck was not on your side unfortunately as Glitch was not in his room. You wandered around hoping to find him, not quite sure where he could be. Glitch once told you that when you wren't here he was always in his room as there wasn't much he could do here by himself. You checked the t.v. room and the kitchen first but still no luck.

       "Maybe he went into the code again." you said quietly to yourself. Walking back to Glitch's room you looked around the hallway and in the rooms as you go. They all look like the main party room. Glitches in the floor, walls, and ceiling. Everything destroyed and strewn about. Once you got back to Glitch's room you saw that it was the same, worse even. Absolutely everything was broken, thrown around, and glitched out. It was the worse room in the whole game. You could have sworn that everything was completely fine as you walked past the first time through.

       You were worried now. What if Glitch was hurt? Or was having a panic attack? You steeled your nerves and ran off in search for Glitchtrap.

***********************************************************************************************

           You had been searching for hours and still couldn't find Glitchtrap. You had gotten lost, not keeping track of where you were going. Not all the game was Glitched out, some rooms were normal. You were looking for those rooms to try help you get back to the main party room so you could get out of the game. Unfortunately you couldn't find them, all the rooms were glitched and destroyed. You found another normal room and decided to take a break. You sat down against the wall by the doorway and caught your breathe.

        After 15 minutes you got back to continue your search. The room you had rested in was part of a long narrow hallway. You huffed and started to look in all the rooms. By the time you got to the last room at the end of the hallway you felt like something was off. "I'm gonna back track now, try and find my way out." you said to yourself as you started walking back. You glnced back into the room you had rested in only to find it wasn't the same anymore. The room was now glitched and destroyed.

          You looked back and checked a few other rooms, all of them were glitched. It seemed in your search that you hadn't just been looking for Glitchtrap but he was looking for you. Or, he was watching you. You gulped nervously and looked around. You weren't able to see anything but you could feel eyes on you, he was watching you. You took a deep breathe and called out to him "Glitch, I know you're there. I know you can here me. Please come out, I just want to talk. Or, well, apologize actually. Please come out."

          Nothing happened for a few seconds. But then Glitchtrap walked out of the room in frint of you. He was a few feet away but he was obviously different. He was slouched forward slightly and his head was tilted to his right. Different parts of his body had code showing and others were randomly glitching in and out of existence. His eyes are what freaked you out the most though, they were a bright glowing purple, to the point where they almost look demonic. He didn't say anything, just stood there and stared at you.


??? p.o.v

         I sat back in my chair and stared at the screen. 'How is an actual person in this part of the game?' I wondered. They seemed to Know William, which is concerning to say the least. Who know what this madman has done to them. I sighed heavily and sat up, sliding my keyboard closer. I need to get them out before I corrupt the rest of the game and get rid of this monster.
