Chapter 21- Haunting

-Blaza POV-
Gulvic just stormed out of the room, and Ryzo was still staring at the door. He then looked at me, and shook me a bit.

"What do you think you were doing, Blaza?!"

He actually seemed concerned for me, which was a first from either of the two murderers. I answered a confused,

"Wait, you're concerned for me?"

He then quickly took his hands off of my shoulders a couple seconds later, and stuttered,

"Uhm.. no, I just wanted to know why you did that. I'm not concerned for you at all.. why would I be? There is no reason for me to care about you. Pfft, I would never-"

I then grabbed his shoulders, and stated,

"Hey, you don't have to take after Gulvic. We won't judge you for that!"

His eyes filled with surprise and confusion, but also had a bit of eagerness. He then fought it, and said,

"Thanks, but.. I think I'll stick with the way I'm going.."

He looked a bit upset to say that, and before I could say anything Laff took control again. When I saw this I immediately got next to him just in case he started coughing again like he usually does. He did, and I patted him on the back a couple times. He frantically asked,

"Is everyone okay?"

"Yes, but..  I'm not sure about Gulvic and Socks."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Gulvic's tentacles just puffed up a bit, and he just stormed out into the hall. I'm pretty sure he'll be in Socks' room if I know him well enough.."

"Should we see if they're okay? Or should we leave them alone.."

"That's the only thing I'm not too sure about. I do have to use the bathroom though, so maybe I'll stop by his room and check."

"Alright.. I think everyone will be staying in here, so just come back here then."

I then nodded, signaling that's what I would do. Walking through the doors, I started down the hall. It was originally a dirty-cream-colored wall, but now it was a dirty-cream with uneven black streaks throughout. (Mostly near Meme's room from that whole scenario..) They were occasionally wet, which was odd because they should be dry by now.. unless something happened in the past five minutes.

That could be a possibility.. but what the hell could've happened?

As I was passing and about to turn the corner for the bathroom, I looked in Socks' room. Gulvic nor Socks was there. I just shrugged it off though, and closed the door to the bathroom behind me. As soon as I locked the door, I noticed the sink. I knew I saw something out of the ordinary through my peripheral. On the marble-white, stone surface was a streak of black, running down the side of the sink. My mind immediately went to Socks, and I felt my hoodie's ears droop. I then heard,

"Meep meep.. mep meeep?"

My throat went dry. I felt the top of my hoodie move along with the sound. It sounded like a mouse voice, as in high-pitched and squeaky.

"Am I drugged? Or did my hoodie just talk."

"Mep meeeeeeep!"

It sounded like it was saying 'helloooooooooo!', so I just went,

"Uh.. we can figure this out later.."

"Meep mep.."

Putting this aside, I took a closer look at the black. It looked a bit bubbly and transparent, unlike the usual tentacle fluid. That seemed to usually be thick and sticky, almost like tar. This seemed watery and runny, almost like saliva.
