The Mimic Nightmare -- Full Fiction Story Walkthrough

Chapter IV

The hospital had a checkered floor and at the end of the hallway, before it turned, was a white-skinned, black-haired doll. It wore a white dress with red details, and the doll seemed to be crying a stream of black tears.
"I always hated the dolls." Delilah clutched her rabbit in her hand.
"Aww, is the wittle baby scawed?" Jackson mused, giggling in between words.
"Shut up, Jackson. This whole adventure thing is scaring the crap out of all of us." Charlie said.
"Sorry." Jackson and Delilah said simultaneously.
Everything has been a mimic of your reality since the beginning. The voice came again.
The doll tilted its head up, but then the head collapsed back down, ito the same position it was in before they had come near.
"You're a pretty sh!tty guide, you know that, right?" Delilah said aloud, hoping the demon would hear her complaints.
The hallway turned right, and led them into another hallway where separate ways branched off like a tree. The new hallway was littered with the same doll, some missing legs, some missing arms, some in a wheelchair. There were two branches, one to the left, and one to the right. The left one looked darker while the other looked a little brighter. There was also a door right in front of them.
"John and Jackson can go to the right, Delilah, you go to the left, and Penny and I will check out this room." Charlie stated. Everyone went where they were told, because there was nothing better to do.
"I can't believe they sent me off alone. What the hell. At least it's just you and me, rabbit." Delilah muttered to herself.
There were a couple stairs going up, and Delilah got an eerie feeling that something the team needed was here.
"Maybe I can find what we need here." She continued along the path until she reached a part where it turned. The hallway she was looking at had many different oaths, but a small ceiling light flickered at the end and a key was visible on the floor.
"Oh! That was easy." She hopped down the hall and picked up the key, unaware that a figure was moving closer to her from behind.
"I really though that'd be more challenging." She looked at the key in her hand as another reached for her head.
"What do you think, Mr. Rab-" She was cut off by being pulled from behind, lost in the maze as the rabbit sat with the key laying next to him.

Jackson had gone ahead and taken the lead, basically pulling John's hand to follow him.
"We are getting out of this hell if it is the ladt thing I do." Jackson murmured as he continued to pull John along.
The hallway turned left, and a longer one was visible. It had doors on each side, with one at the end being illuminated by a flickering ceiling light.
"Well I guess we should check the rooms, then." Jackson said, letting go of John's hand.
"No sh!t, Sherlock." John rolled his eyes and opened the first door on the left. It was filled with hospital beds and mannequins. The heads were all facing towards the door, and with that, towards John aswell.
"You see this too?" John called back to Jackson, assuming the same thing was in the room that he checked.
"Yeah, I see it." He replied.
All the rooms were the same, filled with mannequins on hospital beds. Although, one was standing in the middle of one of the rooms. Jackson had knocked it over, though.
The last door at the end of the hall was locked, and neither of them had a key. So they decided to wait for the others to come back, hopefully with a key.

The room Penny and Charlie had entered was a cafeteria, with two long lunch tables filling almost the whole room. The mannequins were put to be seated at the tables, but their heads were angled towards the door.
"This place is by far the creepiest." Penny thought aloud.
"Agreed."
The girls searched the room for anything, but the room was useless.
They decided to go and see what Jackson and John had found in their hallway.

"Others are coming." John said, then pointed down the hallway to see two shadows of Charlie and Penny coming to them.
"So what'd you find?" Jackson asked, standing up.
"A cafeteria with dolls. You?" Charlie responded, crossing her arms for no reason.
"Hospital rooms filled with dolls and a locked door." Jackson shrugged.
"Where's Delilah?" John asked. Everyone started to look around, not finding the fifth member anywhere near.
"We should check her hallway, see if she's alright." Jackson suggested. The rest agreed, and thet walked down to Delilah's hallway.
The four reached the turning point of the hallway. Charlie was the first to lay her eyes on the key, but she sensed an uneasy feeling. She pulled them back behind a wall as a moving doll passed over the key.
Ah, I see you met Shaku! Not one of my smartest minions, but she does well... for a doll, anyways. Penny thought Sama had gone from her mind. Guess not.
Can you just fvcking leave me alone? Penny was getting angry with this demon who won't leave them alone, even for literally two seconds!
While Penny was lost in her thoughts, John had snuck past "Shaku" and stolen the key, along with Delilah's rabbit, who was next to it.
"Isn't that-" Charlie was fumbling to even create a sentence.
"Delilah's." Jackson finished it for her.
John was looking around the maze for Delilah for a while, but he didn't find her. The group's best bet was to go on and hope she would appear again.
After reaching the locked door, John unlocked it and they walked though. There was a good amount of stairs leading downwards, and when they reached the bottom, the group realized that the floor was covered in water. They were in a sewer-type area, and- guess what- there were three separate ways to go! This time, everyone stuck to the right side and the tunnel seemed to go one forever before they finally reached a corner.
In the corner was Delilah's bleeding body, with her neck slit and it looked like her stomach had been stabbed repeatedly. Her eyes were tore out and in her mangled hand was a glowing butterfly.
Penny closed her eyes and Jackson couldn't even look at the horrible sight. John and Charlie hung their heads in respect for the now deceased Delilah.
"She lived a good life." John whispered to himself.
Charlie looked away as she took the living butterfly out of Delilah's hand.
"Guys, I hear footsteps... we should go back." Charlie grabbed their hands and pulled them away from Delilah's body.
After returning to the hospital, a glowing door appeared next to the sewer door. The butterfly flew into the door and it opened slowly, revealing a town.
"For Delilah." Charlie looked at the rest of the group, and they repeated her phrase as they walked through the door.
"For Delilah."
