001 - Peter Ballard

Chapter 016

Daphne was talking with Brenner. He'd tell her about the gate that 011 opened, and what he knew about the upside down. He also told her about 011's friends, and what she's been doing the last 2 years

"So, you've said you've been haunted?" Daphne nods, "Yes, by Peter, or Henry or whatever his name is"

"Describe haunted for me"

"I was in this place. At first it was like it was normal and then I turned a corner and I was there"

"Okay, tell me more"

"I would hear him whispering to me, and I suppose he made this grand father clock appear but it wasn't really there"

"Who is... he?"

Daphne looked down, "Peter"

March 20th 1986 Daphnes POV

I heard someone faintly calling my name, though the room was empty

I was scared, but whatever was happening couldn't be any worse than what I've been before right?

I left the room, and creeped the halls. But they looked different. It was dark, and gloomy. There was white stuff in the hair. Nasty roots everywhere

I decided to go to room where everyone was preparing Nina. Someone had to be in there

But instead of people, I saw... people. But they where dead. Stabbed, strangled, and shot. How do I know this? Well because I recognize them. They're the people I've killed

Frightened, I took a step back. Only to back up into someone

My eyes shifted up, feeling their breath against my neck

I took a step forward, and turn around, looking at the person in front of me. I immediately knew who this was. It was Peter

He look different. Older. And had blue and blackish stuff all over him. Kinda like the environment we where in. But still, I know this was Peter

"Surprised?"

That voice. This is definitely Peter

"Where are we? Did you bring me here?"

"That's your first question? You didn't miss me?" "Miss you? You killed me" "You look alive to me" "That's not what I mean"

He turned his head to side, clenching his jaw, "I didn't, mean to"

"But you did. And you where gonna kill 011"

"011... killed me. Well, she killed Peter"

"You killed everyone. How could you do that?"

Those children, they where so innocent. They didn't deserve to die. "Something overpowered me" "That's not a good enough reason. Your a monster"

He looked up at me and began to walk closer. I stood my ground. He didn't scare me. Maybe a little, but I could pretend

"I'm not a monster-" He was really close to my face, "-I'm a god now. I finally have what I've always wanted" His voice was deeper, still soft but slightly raspy

"I loved you, how can you be so evil?"

He smirked, "I can go on and on about that love, but I'll save that story for another day"

"Bring me back. I want to go back to the real world"

"This is the real world" "No, no, bring me back!"

"You're not happy there, stay here with me" He started to caress my cheek, but I slapped his arm away, "Bring me back, Peter"

"You have me! You have no one there, What? You really want to trust Brenner again?"

I sighed, "I have our daughter"
