Among us: New features? //Completed

Chapter five:

Inside cafeteria, I looked around, noting the pizza slice on the main table, along with the pizza box and some soft of softdrink. I also realized that I was alone. And dare I say it, cafeteria is pretty big and it can be pretty imposing when faced with it alone. To make it worse, right in that moment, the lights went out. I gasped, my vision being cut down to noting. I was practically blind by this point.

Calming down from the initial shock, I felt to the right side of my helmet, until feeling a little button I then clicked, causing a small light inside of my helmet to turn on, giving back only the faintest bit of my vision, but at least I wasn't trapped in the dark anymore. I hugged myself, feeling suddenly cold and alone. I was terrified of the dark, tho it brings me shame to admit it. Walking to the direction I thought the wall was at, I moved one hand in front of myself, trying to feel for it before I collide with it. I could feel a presence here with me, causing major tingles of fear to go up and down my spine, making me lash out with my outstretched arm as I took a step forward to push whoever, no, whatever was there with me, fear taking over my body.

Turns out there was no need to lash out because as soon as I took the step forward that I did, I managed to run straight into something solid, causing me to fall back and land on my rear. Turning my head up into presumably the point from which was what I had bumped into, I noticed a dim light also illuminating his face. I was stupid and held my eyes closed, meaning I couldn't register whoever was there in time before colliding with them. I looked up and shock filled my eyes. What I thought I bumped into was a solid, big wall was actually just Black's solid chest! His black hair was visible through the little viewer in his mask, his dark Grey eyes practically shining with recognition.

"I was so scared for your well being!" He whisper-yelled, not wanting to scare me. "I knew you were in cafeteria because I was just over in admin and the lights turned off so I hurried over to you, fearing that the imposter was after you!" He explained with a gentle voice, making his usually imposing appearance less scary then it used to be.

"Oh... thank you.." Was all I could bring out, my voice slightly quivering. And to make things worse, my helmet lamp was waning. Seems I haven't changed for a while. Feeling a renewed dose of anxiety crawl down my back, I reached out ad grabbed onto black, holding him close to me for comfort as the light in my head gear eventually died down. "Eek!" I screamed, digging my nails into Black's back who grunted in response. I felt his body tense under my grip, before he calmed down, relaxing again.

"Hey.., hey.. shhh.. it's ok, you're ok." Black mumbled, raising one hand and resting it on my back, soothing it to help me calm down. He then gently leaned his helmet against mine, mumbling some nonsense words and soothing my back until I was finally calm at last, now only hugging black.

"Thank you..." I mumbled, my face pressed into the side of my mask which was now resting on Black's lean chest, who had me enveloped in a protective embrace.

"When will these damned lights go on again?!" He then yelled, frustrated, before shutting his mouth up not even a second after shouting what he had.

It caused me to gasp. Not only because I haven't seen him this annoyed yet, but also because if the impostor is lurking around, he definitely heared us, which caused my breath to go ragged again, me now hyperventilating while tightening my grip on black. "P-please... please calm down.." I begged him, my knuckles hurting from how tightly I was gripping the fabric of his suit. I watched him soften his gaze, reaching a gloved hand to rest it on my helmet in a comforting manner.

"Don't worry, it's ok, I'm calm..." He whispered gently, patting my helmet which caused my head to lightly bobb up and down under his touch. Felling slightly calm again, I managed to stop hyperventilating, which was a good thing, seeing as my head was now much clearer.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, we could hear a set of footsteps approaching us at a slow, taunting pace, the sound of metal scratching on the wall resonating off of the right side of us. I felt my eyes widen, biting my tounge to not scream, causing little tears to form in the corners of my eyes. The unbearable screeching continued, a sinister, deep laugh coming from the right side.
