Why the hell did she faint? WHY THE HELL DID CHLOE FAINT? I don't want to be awake yet.
I wipe the dried blood off of my face, and slowly bring myself to my knees.
"Oh just get up." They say, annoyed.
I try to do as they say, but it's just too hard. My legs crumble beneath me, and I fall back down.
"Weak." They say.
"SHUT UP. JUST- JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD."
"Hmmm... Chloe should be awake by now. Why aren't you asleep?"
"Just shut up. Please."
"Maybe... Hmmm... Yes."
"What?"
"Knock yourself out."
"How?"
"You know how."
"But... No one will help me. They never come."
"Did you just ARGUE with me?"
"N-n-no."
"Open the door. It's not locked."
I do as they say, and it's true. The door is open. How did they know that? (A/N: na na na boo boo I already know why)
"Walk to room 13."
I've never been to room 13. I don't know where it is, and yet my legs pull me there.
"Knock."
I wince at the pain in my freshly scabbed knuckles as I bang on the door twice.
"One more time."
I knock again, and a boy's voice sings through the door, "9 hours. Just no... The ... Nonono... I have to keep it.... No kill it... Wait hmmm? Is there someone there? 9 hours. Yes that's it. That must be it. Right? Don't you agree? WELL DONT YOU? DONT JUST STAND THERE, CHLOE."
"I'm Cynthia, actually."
"No they're all Chloe. All of them."
"All of whom?"
"The girls that knock."
I step back, startled.
"What does this mean?" I ask them.
"It's time for Chloe to wake up now."
"Nonono! Not in the hallway! I'll get in trouble!"
"1...2..."
"Please."
"3!"
"9 hours... 9 hours... 9 hours..."
The voice slowly fades as I fall into a pit of black.
