seven souls (the black phone characters x reader)

chapter forty-eight

The weekend came by again as I was standing in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. Loose strands of (h/c) fell in my face as the pitch dress hugged my body in a grasp or maybe I was just imagining it. My fingers curled around the rim of the sink keeping me steady on my feet.

"Sweetie are you almost ready?" my mother called out from the kitchen. She was going to drop me by the station then drop my brother off before going to work. Honestly, I wasn't ready. I just wanted to collapse on the floor to give me another excuse to stay away. But I got this I had no other choice.

"Yeah!" I shouted pulling my hands back down at my side strolling out the bathroom closing the door behind as I grabbed my regular shoes putting them on. I was already wearing this dress and it already was making me feel Un comfort like when your parents force you to dress nice for a fancy dinner or yearbook photos. My mother stepped out holding my baby brother in one arm, her handbag in the other as she took the keys unlocking the door, walking out first I followed after her settling myself in the backseat curling up a little, turning my gaze out the window as she started the car driving away.

"Sweetie don't worry about it too much it won't be bad" she said reaching her hand back resting it on my leg as I flinched away a bit at the sudden contact. My anxiety hit the floor once the car stopped in front of the station. Vance was sitting out on the steps dressed in a suit which I found impossible to believe he would ever wear. I got out of the car walking over to him covering my mouth as his eyes landed on me.

"Don't say a word about this"

"But Vance you look cute in that"

"Shut up"

"You know you like me" I said, taking a seat next to him. "Are the others here?"

"Yeah, are you ready to fucking do this?" he asked standing back up on his feet holding his hand out to me. I nodded my head taking his hand in mine letting him roughly pull me back up dragging me inside. Each of the boys were sitting in a chair one next to the other, each doing their own thing. Griffin was sitting in his chair curled up, Billy was reading a newspaper he took from the desk, Bruce was playing with some baseball throwing it up in the air to catch it again while Robin and Finn were just chatting about rockets and Texas chainsaw massacre there was only one seat empty left next to Bruce as Vance motion me to sit but I shook my head leaning against the wall waiting until Detective Wright came in.

"Please follow me" he said as we all followed after him. Everything went silent in that minute with the cops turning all their attention to us that I could already feel something bubbling deep down. Both Vance and Robin grew pissed at everyone just staring at us until Wright put us in a much larger room. There was one table with eight chairs, one of the left and seven over on the right. I took one of the chairs on the farthest right moving it to sit beside Vance and Robin. Wright stepped out of the room for a minute, coming back each with a little cup of water before taking a seat pulling out a record.

"Why are you recording this?" Griffin asked as we all were wondering the same thing.

"Because I need to record all of your cases" he said pressing the button reaching down grabbing some papers "so do any of you remember anything before you got kidnapped?"

We went with orders from Griffin, Billy, Vance, Bruce, Robin, Finn till it went down to me as I searched back into the depths of my mind piercing everything together.

"I was walking home after I left the Blakes house, the grabber came asking if I wanted to see a trick. I got pissed wanting him to leave me alone that's when he chased after me pulling me down and knocking me out"

"Okay, when you all got kidnapped did you try escaping?"

"Of course, fucker!" Vance shouted, gripping the arms of his chair as I took my hand laying it over him while Bruce took the chance to speak.

"Yes, we tried to escape through a hole in the floor, a window, breaking a wall to the other side and just running out"

"Who took the chance to escape?"

"I did, he left the door open many times none of us tried at first because it was a part of his game until I finally took a chance and ran as fast as I could before he caught up to me"

"What was this game you're talking about?"

None of us wanted to answer that as I took a deep breath twirling my fingers looking down "it's called naughty kids the game starts when we get sent to the basement if we try escape, we get a sort of punishment and then he kills us"

"What is the punishment"

"It-" my mouth felt dry, no words could escape from my mouth, my stomach was bubbling up more as it reached the back of my throat. "I'm sorry I need to leave"

I pushed myself out the chair rushing off for the nearest bathroom slamming the door open running over to the toilet getting on my knees gripping the sides. My body started shaking as tears were pouring down my face. I heard someone coming behind as I felt my hair pulled back.

"It's okay I got you" Robin said, rubbing my back keeping my hair up out the way as I leaned over the toilet trying to regain my thoughts before getting back upholding onto Robin as we walked out the bathroom. The others had also come out of the room as Vance was starting a storm.

"We're fucking done answer your questions!" he yelled walking over to me and Robin giving a quick glance to check if I was okay as the others got closer also looking like they just been reliving a nightmare 

"My house is free, we can all go there" I mumbled, holding onto Robin as we all walked out the station heading back to my place.
