My Identity V One Shots

Tracy and Helena

Helena was too terrified to move from the corner she was hiding in. Tears rolled down as she clutched her bruised side. She had to get up soon or else the lady in the red dress will find her but she didn't want to move. No, it hurt too much to move, and what if the lady finds her? Helena is at a huge disadvantage if the lady just so happened to find her. Running away would not be easy and she would surely be caught.

Footsteps, Helena suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her. She stopped breathing. What if it was the lady with the broken glass? She would be cornered. She would let down her team and they would lose the game. All because she was too scared to move and find another teammate to bandage her up.

"Uhm Helena, do you need help?" Instantly Helena calmed down. It was Tracy, the quiet girl on her team that was always working on her mechanic doll. Helena for some reason always felt safe around Tracy. Maybe it was because she was just as quiet as her.

"Yes, thank you, Tracy." Helena used her cane to stand up. "I'm injured a bit, help would be appreciated."

Helena feels Tracy grab her free hand (the one not holding her cane) and leads her to sit on a barrel. "This shouldn't take too long. The injuries don't seem that bad." Tracy was gentle as she smeared the healing cream on Helena's bruised skin and wrapped bandages around her, covering the bruise. "And done. How do you feel?" Tracy asked. The cool cream made Helena's skin tingle and shiver a bit but it felt nice. She could feel the bruise already going away.

"I feel better. Thank you again for the help." Helena also felt better about facing the red-dressed lady as well.

"Uhh, I was wondering," Helena can imagine Tracy fidgeting from how nervous her voice sounded. "I hope you don't mind me asking but why were you hiding in the corner? It took me a bit to find you."

Helena paused. "Wait, why were you looking for me?" It made no sense to her why someone would go out of their way to look for her. Was Tracy worried for her?

"A-Ah. Well, you were hurt and probably scared s-so I wanted to come to make sure you were okay, and uh." Tracy stops talking. If Helena had to guess she was starting to get embarrassed. So she decides to change the subject as to not make her uncomfortable.

"Have you seen the lady or any of our other teammates recently?" Helena couldn't exactly remember the names of her other teammates though they were both very nice to her though a little intimidating.

Tracy hums. "I saw that lady thing going after Eli though he looked like he and his owl were doing fine on their own." Helena can feel Tracy kick a small rock away from them. Helena was glad the lady decided to leave her and Tracy alone. They were better at working on the ciphers than keeping the lady distracted.

"Right then." Helena grasped Tracy's hand firmly. "Then we should probably not let his work go in vain. Let's start working on those cipher machines." Tracy doesn't respond to Helena's words, just gives her a little hum. But Helena can feel Tracy's hand start to shake light so she grasps her hand just a little tighter.
