Alone

Chapter 11; A baby?

Holiday Summers POV;
As I finished up on the boy's necklace I took note of the number, he was number Three.  The baby was Five, this was odd though I had never in my wildest dreams would have thought that whoever did this would do it to a baby.

    Five woke up and started crying, I looked up at Two,
"what do I do?"  I asked.  She shrugged her shoulders so I looked from Two to Seven, she looked down at Three he was hanging onto her arm.  He looked scared of the cry,

"H-hey little one, it's okay I won't hurt you buddy..." I tried to say it in a comforting way.  He opened his eyes,still crying to my surprise his eyes were nearly white.  None of us had anything with no color excpt the white part of our eyes.  His eyes were worrying me but I brushed it off for the time being.

    I picked him up off the couch and rocked him in my arms, soon after he was quiet.  When I looked at him he was just staring at the floor, I smiled at him bouncing him slightly on my hip.

"Awe he's so cute! Guys look, he's stopped!" I said, Seven, Two, and Three came up and started playing with him.  Three just held his finger out to 'hold his hand'. 

    After sometime we found food and ate. Looking around I smiled, we kind of looked like a family. 
"Okay let's go to sleep now, we'll go up stairs then find out the sleeping arrangements."  said Two, she was right it was time to go to sleep everyone here looked tired. 

    When we got the sleeping arrangements sorted out, I ended up with Seven. She seemed to really want to stay with me, I think she's still scared of other people.  We all went to sleep, I was a little anxious to sleep seeing how the time before last I woke up in the blank place with the voices.  Seven went to sleep rather quickly, she already felt like a little sister to me.  After what felt like forever I slowly drifted off to sleep.

    Waking up I thought I saw Seven gone, when I blinked my eyes a few times I saw my eyes were not deceiving me, Seven really was gone.  Worried, I started to get up and look for her.  Though when I tried to sit up I couldn't move my left arm, I was stuck.  Turning to see what was holding me back, I almost screamed.  A hand with sharp claws for fingers held me by my wrist, the hand came from a dark hole in the bed.  The fingers dug into my wrist and I started to bleed.

"You can't leave, you'll never find a way out. You. Aren't. Coming. Back."  said the hand, it gripped me tighter, full of terror I screamed,

"STOP, PLEASE LET ME GO!!"  I was crying, salty tears ran down my face. No matter how hard or how much I pulled, the thing wouldn't let me go.

"Six!  Six!  SIX! Wake up please, you're scaring me!"  Said another voice, but something was different about this one.  Unlike the other voice it  was soft, clear, and calming. 

    I opened my eyes to see Seven, she was crying I sat up immediately and hugged her.  She hugged me back tightly, I could feel her shaking.

"Shhh, it's okay I just had a bad nightmare, I'll be okay and so will you.  As long as I'm here I won't let anyone hurt you, I promise."  Just then Two came into the room and she looked worried,

" I heard screaming, is everyone okay in here?"  she asked, Seven looked up at her, eyes puffy and red.  Two started walking up to her but she scooted closer to me, hugging me close.

    Two looked at her, then looked at me.
"I guess she just wants you huh?" she giggled, " I'll go get you guys some water"  I nodded my head yes as an "okay" while I held Seven closer.  She sat up and coughed, looking at me and smiling.
