Better Days (OC x Azur Lane)

Chapter 12 Pt. 2 - Card Games?

I grunt in pain and slowly push myself up. My Ghost costume was practically tattered. I slowly take it off and toss it aside.

I sigh. "No use for that anymore." I look around to see where I was. I was in some type of living room with some knight statues and a fire pit. "Akashi . . I swear to God if all of this came from my wallet . . I'm going to drown you in the ocean . ." I try to compose myself.

Upon doing that, I have a look around. Haunted houses never looked this fancy like a mansion . . Right?

I shake the thought out of my head and continue looking around. And I had no idea why but . . I felt so uncomfortable being here.

I walk over to a door and try to open it. Thankfully enough it would open . . But I'd get a Jumpscare and yell out, slamming the door shut. "Mother fucker!!"

I hunch over like I'm out of breath. Practically terrified a bit. I thought I can't get scared over stupid things . .

That's proven horribly wrong . .

I walk over to the couch and sit on it, trying to think. "I'm starting to realize that this is probably an escape room . ." I looked over at a coffee table that was next to the couch and opened the drawer.

Nothing was in it.

I see another coffee table next to a chair and get up. I walk over to it and open the drawer to see a note. I picked it up and tried to read it but most of it was scribbled out.

I turn my head a bit. "I'm starting to think this is Akashi's handwriting . ." I then see a word that says 'book'. "Though . . I would also say she's terrible at accidentally leaving things in here if this was accidental. It looks like it was about to be tossed out."

I look over at a book case and try grabbing a book. Nothing would happen. I was a bit puzzled at first but I realized that it had to be a specific type. So I did the only reasonable thing.

Throwing every single book out onto the floor. I was doing it pretty quick too.

"Where is this son of a bitch-" I pulled a book back and it would stay in place, meaning it was a lever/switch. "Finally!" The book case infront of me would open.

I was about to walk forward until the chair behind me burst towards me quickly and hit my legs, making me sit down on it.

I will say this now . . It hurt.

The chair was going super fast and a door would open infront of me. The chair would go through it along with me and slam shut behind it.

The room was pitch black. I couldn't see anything. I feel something tighten around my arms and a light would go on. A voice would come through an intercom. "Welcome . . Commander Rose . . We've been expecting you . ." I just frowned. "H-Hey! What's with that face for!"

I just roll my eyes. "You aren't fooling me Akashi." I try to break full but they are really tight. "Someone is in here with me . ."

The voice on the intercom would continue. "We are so glad to have you here to play our . . Little game of 21 . ." I was even more confused on what was even going on.

"21 . . We're playing poker? Are you shitting me?" I was already annoyed.

Though the voice on the intercom was getting angry. "Let me continue!!" She was pretty pissed so I just let her. "You will be playing with another opponent . ."

Lights would flash on infront of me and I'd see a chair pulling up from the side. It was Kaga. She looked honestly terrified like me. Or morely . . Forced to be here.
