Waking Up Somewhere Else

Voting Time!!

Chasity followed him to the kitchen, where everyone was writing names on their pieces of paper. Then, a voice rang out from somewhere.

"Put the pieces of paper on the counter beside the fridge," said the voice. They recognized it as the woman in white's voice.

"then you MUST leave. Do not enter the kitchen for any reason afterwards unless instructed by me and me and only!" She continued. Everyone looked to each other, then back at their pieces of papers.

Chasity didn't want to put Nadium's name, but it seemed like it must've been her. And she couldn't put nothing, since that would result in a punishment.

She sighed and wrote down the name "Nadium", then put it on the counter next to the fridge, folded up. She backed up and watched as everyone put their own papers on the counter. They all looked regretful and worried, Nadium especially. She put her guess on the counter, then stood beside Chasity. She looked over to Chasity and mumbled something to her.

"You didn't vote for me, did you?" Asked Nadium.

"Nope." Chasity lied, "I voted for Nicholas." That made Nadium smile and look back to the front. Chasity smiled awkwardly back and looked to Nicholas, who was fidgeting with his gloves/hands.

Then, a voice chimed in again, "Okay, all votes are cast, now you may leave the kitchen and explore this whole place more!" It was the woman in white again. Everyone walked out of the kitchen and parted ways from each other.

Randall, Chasity, and later, Michael, all went into the gardening area. It was a place where glass was everywhere, along with plants and flowers. So far, only Randall and Chasity were there.

Chasity walked into Randall kicking over a potted plant. She ran over, hands in front of her.

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing?!" She yelled. He glanced over, surprised she was there.

"Kicking this plant." Randall answered simply.

"Yes, I see that, but-" She sighed, putting her hands down, "Why are you kicking this plant?"

He shrugged, "I dunno. Just felt bored." She gawked at him.

"And so you decided to ruin a perfectly good potted plant?" Chasity asked. Randall scoffed.

"If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?" He spat. She gawked more.

"I'm not going to marry it! Shut up- You're just being rude at this point!" Chasity stated as Michael had walked in. He saw the situation, inferred what had happened, and spoke up.

"Randall... Can you please pick it up and fix it, while refraining to cause a-any more harm to any more plants?" Michael asked calmly. Randall looked shocked that Michael was there, but then grimaced.

"I could, but I'm not gonna!" Randall answered with attitude.

"Please..." Chasity pleaded. Randall looked over, raising an eyebrow.

"Jeez- Why do you care so much?" He asked her. She crossed her arms and sighed again.

"Because no plant should be treated like that... plus- I think the woman in white would be angry at you for breaking stuff." Chasity answered, looking up to Randall.

A TV turned on that was in the room and the woman in white's voice rang out, "Did I hear that someone is breaking my property?" She asked. Randall went pale and quickly picked the potted plant up, fixing it.

"I-I'm sorry ma'am, I'm fixing it right now!" Randall quickly said. The TV turned off after the woman in white nodded with a smile. Then, Randall glared at Chasity, fully fixing the potted plant.

"I hate you..." He muttered. Chasity just giggled and left the room so only Michael and Randall were in it.

Nicholas was somehow being pulled around by a girl half his size, Kayla. Kayla was giggling while dragging Nicholas along by his wrist. He had to bend down for her to do this.

"Where are we even going?" Nicholas asked, annoyed.

"I don't know! But we're going somewhere!!" Kayla said happily, tugging him up the stairs by the wrist. Nicholas groaned and followed, even though he didn't want to. Hey, it was at least something to do. They ran until they eventually almost ran into Chasity. Chasity shrieked as she almost got hit, closing her eyes. There was a bit of silence, then she opened them back up. She saw Kayla basically holding Nicholas' hand now, looking a bit spooked from almost hitting Chasity.

"Oh, hey." Said Chasity, waving slightly. Kayla waved with her hand that wasn't holding Nicholas' wrist. Chasity look down at their hands and realized that Kayla was inching her hand down.

"Hey hey! Where are you going?" Kayla asked. Her hand had inched down far enough to now be holding Nicholas' hand. Their fingers were interlocked with each other. Something about that hurt Chasity. It felt like her heart was being crushed like a deflating balloon.

"I don't really know... I'm just looking around. I just came from the garden with Michael and Randall. Where were you guys going?" Chasity asked, biting her lip slightly. She didn't like seeing them hold hands but she didn't really know why. Then, she saw Nicholas whisper something in Kayla's ear and Kayla quickly let go of his hand. Chasity could tell that Nicholas seemed slightly flustered by this. She tried to ignore it though, as Kayla answered,

"What? Oh- We were just walking around randomly, too. Anyways, wanna go back to the garden to check if those two haven't killed each other?" Kayla joked. Chasity suddenly got a bit scared. She quickly turned and speed walked to the garden. Nicholas followed her without question while Kayla stayed for a couple seconds, confused. Then, she quickly followed them to the garden.

They all three got to the garden to see...

Michael on the ground, a broken pot beside him with blood stained on it. Then, blood was also coming out of his head. He was unconscious, Chasity noticed as she got closer.

Randall was standing not too far away from Michael, shaking in fear.

"What happened?!" Nicholas yelled, going to Michael's side to examine his body.

"I-..." Randall started, then paused, then started again, "He- Um... I-... We got in fight and... things... escalated." Randall was still shaking. Nicholas sighed.

"Of course." Nicholas muttered. He examined Michael's body and found out that he was...
