Matchmaker (!Edmike!)

Part III

Heads up! since Edgar had a sister i hc that he's really good wit helping wit wounds!

Edgar's PoV

Everything in the room went black, and then I heard a loud sound of glass breaking. When I opened my eyes I found myself in a type of medical room with a type of machine next to me. "What the hell is this? Why is this place so.. creepy." I muttered and last part under my breath.

"Hey hey! Can you guys hear me?" I heard a static voice from Norton come from my hand. Right after  he said that everyone responded with a yes including me, "Hey Edgar where are you?" the voice of Mike asked. "I am in a room with hospital equipment in it. Why does it matter to you anyways."  said scoffing at his question.

Then I heard two things that made my heart drop, the first was Zelle yelling "The hunter is near me!" into the walkie talkie then the sound of a low bell chime. It gave me the chills then I understood why Mike wanted to know where I was "There you are Edgar! Thank gods you're safe!" Mike said running up to me or more specifically the machine behind me.

"Why wouldn't I be? Also why is this machine here?" I asked, "Well they're called ciphers and you have to decode all 5-7 off them depending on which match you're playing to win!" he responded not taking his eyes off of the keys on the cipher. "Here lemme show you how to decode!" he said stopping decoding to pull me closer to him to lay my fingers on the right keys.

Then just like that  I was decoding faster than he was but i couldn't control the movement on my fingers when they all touched a key, "Hey Mike..why can't I feel my fucking fingers?" I asked him because he was right next to me messing with the gears on the side of the cipher. "Oh that just happens til you get used to what you're typing not all that ba-" Mike got cut off.

It was another low bell sound but it sounded worse than the last one, "Oh no, Ed's you keep decoding and I'll save but do NOT move unless you have to ok? good." Without even waiting for an answer he left toward a red outline of Margie in a chair that looks like it has.. rockets? tied to the sides of it. I decided to listen to Mike and keep decoding, after a bit Mike came back to mebut he wasn't in the same shape as before.

By then I had already finished my cipher thing I was working on and just waiting leaning against it. "Thank you, for staying here I mean." Mike thanked me as I observed his body noticing one big clean cut on the middle of his upper back.

"What the hell did you do to get this hurt? Turn around right now, I need to cover it so I can stop the bleeding for a bit." I told him pulling a piece of clean bandages from my pocket. Mike obeyed without talking but when I observed the wound more I found that it was a glass cut, I'm very familiar with these types of cuts because I got cut with a mirror shard a few times.

It was easy to tell because there were little tiny shards of glass in his skin.  "Gods give me patience, Mike where the FUCK did you get a Mirror wound? Never mind that just, stay very still." I commanded him which he also followed that order and fixed his posture being as still as a statue.

I heard him wince in pain as I pushed down on the fabric over the wound to make pressure, "Sorry but I have to do this. So try not to notice it ok?" I some-what reassured him "Ok I trust you." "Done, see that was easy wasn't it?" "Yeah it really was" he responded. "Oh how sweet is that? It would be charming if not so.... sad." Mary said coming up to us glass shard in hand mid-air about to hit both of us.

DING DIN- **insert siren noises**

"Yes! Beat that BQ!" Mike said laughing while I memorized her facial features, immediately i got the inspiration to paint. I don't know why but I got out my canvas and started to paint with the only two colours I had.. Red, and Black. As soon I was done I put down the portrait and she looked at it amazed and started to investigate it.

Mike gave me a 'come on run' look so I did so, soon after we ran I heard a voice coming from my walkie talkie "The exit gate is open!" i heard the voice of Norton yell. Mike must've heard that because me quickly turned our hop to a skip and grabbed my arm and ran like he was running from the police.

Soon enough, we were at a gate and Mike finally let go of me "Good to see ya made it guys, thought you were gonners!" Campbell said rubbing my head roughly which a made a disgusted look at. "Do not touch me. Also you smell like road-kill." I said with the fakest smile that i could make on my face as I walked out of the exit gates.

It was my first 4 man win and also my first match readers, hope this's  enough to satisfy your greed to read.. goodbye.
