She Didn't Let Go

Ok but that picture up there killed me 😂😂

This is a shorter one just me introducing the new plot and I wanna say thank you to KingMaguire for giving me the idea for our antagonist! So yeahhh enjoy 😃

-----

Six and I joined Seven and One in the hall. Six had dawned her hood once again and was holding my hand.

"Long time no see" Seven said looking at Six. She just looked at him, her face unreadable. Seven sighed.

"After all these years you still won't talk to me huh.."

One gave his shoulder a pat. "Come on Sev let's at least feed them first"

As he spoke Sixes stomach growled loudly. She blushed and I chuckled. "I think she approves" I said and One snorted a bit before turning and leading us down a few tunnels to a larger room. There were makeshift tables as chairs set up like a cafeteria with little gnomes running about setting cans and spoons in their respective places.

One went to one of the larger tables and pulled a rope. A bell rang and echoed through the tunnels.
I looked around.

"What was that for?" I asked and Seven stood there with a grin.

"You'll see" He said. Then I heard it. The sound of laughter and shouts and running feet as a stampede of children ran through the tunnels and into the canteen. It was like the school but less violent. Six stepped closer to me holding my had tighter.

"You weren't kidding when you said there were a lot of you" I said watching the kids take their seats messing around. One shrugged and stepped up onto a box.

"Everyone quiet down!" They yelled. It took a few tried but soon everyone was looking at them.

"We have some new kids so please make them feel welcome"

The kids smiled and waved. One looked around for a moment. "Has anyone seen Two and Four?" The kids shook their heads and One nodded.

"Alright well let's eat up!" The kids cheered and the room filled with noise once again. Seven led us too our own table a little ways from the rest and we settled in. The gnomes rushed about cleaning and gathering.

"You said that you'd need help.. with what?" I asked as I ate. Seven nodded and sighed.

"We have teams of the older kids go on supply runs. The gnomes scout areas and report back. Over time we've made a pretty detailed map of the city and we know where to go for certain things however...some of us have gone missing."

I tilted my head a bit and he continued. "Those who do return report something's out there that we haven't delt with before. And recently the towers signal stopped broadcasting so we figure it has something to do with that."

"We were there at the tower" I said making One and Seven stop. They looked at me in disbelief.

"Nobody whose went in that tower has came out again...and we've lost quite a few" One said a little quietly. I thought for a second then then decided to tell them.

"I can teleport." They waited for now to continue.

" Iv been having dreams of a long hallway with a door on the end. I try to run but I'm going so slowly I can't seem to reach the door before I wake up. Then as Six and I tried to escape we ran across multiple TV's. When I'd get near the static would get painfully loud."

"I attempted to stop it and ended up teleporting through the screen into the same hall in my dream. Once I managed to reach the door I released...Him."

They nodded slowly. Six had been quiet this hole time but now she spoke.

"We tried to run but he took me...and I was stick in the tower for a long time." She kept her eyes on the table not looking around and I felt a pang of guilt.

"I had to teleport through various screens till I finally found her again. But before I could pull her out that man chased me till he cornered me and I was forced to fight. I didn't know how strong I was untill I killed him. After saving Six the tower fell apart. We barely escaped."

Seven sat back in his chair. "This must be around the same time all the screens turned off. With nothing to destruct them those bastards have been a pain."

A kid ran up to the table and pulled on Sevens long sleeve. He leaned down to the boys level and listened. After a moment the boy ran back off to his table and Seven turned to us.

"Two and four are back and they said it's urgent"

----

Six and I follow the others to a control room. It's old and the machinery looks rusted. It smells like motor oil and mothballs. Two kids maybe a year or so younger than me sat at the table in the center of the room. They looked pretty beat up.

"Mono, Six, this is Two" Seven pointed to a young girl in a purple shirt and black pants. "And this is four" he gestured to a boy in a green sweater and shorts.
I nodded my head and they did the same.

"Mono and Six joined us today. Hopefully they can help with our problem" One explained. "Fill them in?"

Two nodded " Whatever happened at that tower not only took away our best defense against the Viewers but also released something worse"

Four spoke up "This thing is huge and it glitches and- I don't even know how we got out alive"

"Never seen anything like it before. The way it moved was like time didn't exist. It was so fast..even faster than Thin Man" Two sat back and rubbed her hair with a dejected look.

We all looked at each other concerned. Whatever this was had something to do with the tower. That made it much more dangerous than before.

"We have to figure out what that thing is. And to do that we need to avoid attention.." I said looking at Six. She looked back and after a moment nodded.

"I think Mono and I are your best bet. We can sneak around where you saw it and try to understand what it is. "  She said looking around. Two nodded in agreement.

"Four and I can lead you there and give you back up if needed" She offered.

Six looked at me. "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at me now. I thought for a moment before deciding.

"I think we have a stealth mission to complete"
