Chapter 4: The Begrimed Attic

(I love the fact that people are actually enjoying this! Thx guys! Also, this chapter is quite longer than all the other ones so... I recommend  grabbing a snack while reading this one. Enjoy guys! :D)

"Six? What an interesting name..." Mono said to her newfound friend.

"Hehe, yeah... it kind of is... isn't it? I mean, I could say the same to yours too, you know?" she replied.

They both laughed at this conversation. They never had a good laugh in a long time, so you could see why they'd be pretty happy that they found each other.

"Um... hey Mono?" Six said.

Mono then looked at her and said, "What is it, Six?"

"T-Thanks for uh... you k-know... saving me." she said a bit nervously.

Mono blushed for a bit, and said, "Y-you're welcome. It's the least I could do."

There was a bit of silence after this, but they both felt good during this. Six felt like she was safe and comfortable now, while Mono felt glad he had finally accomplished his goal.

They sat down on the attic's cold floor and rested for a bit. After that, Mono then realized that they still needed a key to get out of the cabin.

He then looked at Six and asked, "So, about that key... you think we should start looking for it?"

She then replied, "Oh yeah, almost forgot about it. Let's go then!"

They then ventured forward into the dank attic. It was a tad bit dark, with a lot of dust getting in their noses. Every now and then, they would sniffle, or wipe and scratch their nose for a little while, especially Six since she didn't have anything to cover her nose, unlike Mono.

There were a lot of weird things in there too, like some paintings and boxes filled with mannequin limbs.

They then came across a giant drawer, with its back facing them, which was blocking their way. In front of them however, was a giant suitcase.

Six then got a plan, and said to Mono, "Hmm... you think we can push this?"

"Maybe, if we both push hard enough.", he replied. They then both aligned themselves in front of the giant suitcase and started preparing themselves to push it together. 

"On three, all right?" said Mono.

Six nodded and they then started counting together.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three!"

They both started pushing the ginormous case with all their might and tried to push it against the drawer to climb above it. It took them a while, but they were able to do it. Luckily there were two of them, for one child cannot push that heavy luggage all by themselves.

They both took a big sigh of relief and started going forward to finally get the key they need to get out of there.

They started climbing up the suitcase, and then the drawer, and they jumped onto the the other side of it. They then tried to observe their environment before moving on.

Their surroundings were very... eerie. There were hooks on the ceiling, and body bags hung on some of them. One of those even had legs sticking out, emitting a grotesque smell similar to the one in the forest, just less intense. But even if less intense they still gagged at it and tried not to breathe in their noses.

"Ugh... why does it always have to be dead people?" Mono said in disgust.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Six replied. She then looked around a bit more and noticed a key hanging on a hook in the ceiling. "Hey Mono!" she said. "Look up!"
