Little Fears

Chapter 6 | there's a traitor

I woke up. I didn't feel good. I felt something on my arm was hurting. I looked at it and saw something weird... There was a bloody point, as if something or someone had pricked me with a string or something... It burned and the more I stood still the more it hurt.

I decided to get out of bed and go to the bathroom to look for something to ease the pain and blood. Though the wound was tiny, it was infernal pain. I hoped that moment would end soon.

At one point, I heard footsteps approaching the bathroom and someone opening the door… It was Michael. He said:-Hey, good morning. Is everything alright?- -Yeah, just something weird happened.- -What happened?- -I found a little but painful wound on my left arm and I'm trying to look for something so I could stop the pain and the blood.-.

He did a surprised face and understoond. He said:-I'll help you, no worries. Here.- -Thanks Michael.- -No problems, it's always nice to help someone.-. I smiled at him and he got out of the bathroom.

Sophie entered without knowing I was there. She said:-Oops, sorry! Wait... What happened to your left arm?- -This morning I found a tiny but painful wound on my arm and I didn't want the pain and Michael came to help me.- -Okay, how did you get it?- -I don't know. Probably some insect. I'm gonna check on Axel, see you later Sophie!- -Bye.-.

I went to Axel's room. He was sitting on the bed, his knees were on his mouth. I said:-Axel... Are you alright?- -Yeah... I guess, what are you doing here?- -I was checking on you. How are you?- -I don't know...- -Do you wanna talk?- -I think it's the better thing for me... Come here, sit here next to me.- -Yeah.-. I sat next to him on his bed. I said:-What's going on?- -So... I think there's a traitor between the group.- -What makes you think that?- -Michael's acting weird.- -Is there something bothering him or do you think that he's tricking us?-.

He let out a sigh and said:-There's definitely nothing bothering him... I think he's tricking us. Please, tell me you saw how he acted this morning.- -I didn't?- -You weren't awake, I forgot about that detail. So, basically I went in the kitchen. I saw him cutting something and he saw me and pointed at me the knife he was holding. I got scared and when he saw Amelia come he immediately pulled away.-.

I did a confused face and said:-That's weird... We're gonna watch his actions. That isn't normal from such a sweet guy as him.- -You're right.- -Are you still scared or not?- -Of what?- -Of what happened this morning.- -Yeah... I saw a dear friend trying to literally kill me. Aren't your scared of the idea that a dear friend is trying to kill you?- -Never had to experience the feeling, so I guess not... For now at least.- -it's scary... Trust me. Now I assume that you have to have your breakfast, am I right?- -Yeah. I'll see you later, then.- -Yeah, have a good breakfast and stay safe around Michael. I don't wanna lose a friend today!- -Yeah, thanks.-.

I went in the kitchen and saw Michael. He said with his angel face:-Hello again Aimee, is everything alright?- -Yes, it is. Why are you acting like this?- -What do you mean..?- -I mean... You aren't like this, most of the time.- -Well, yeah. Today no monsters came so I'm in this mood, why can't I be like this?- -Nothing, don't worry.-. I saw him glaring at me.

Wendy came in the room. I assume she just woke up. I said:-Good morning, sleepy head.- -Oh, shut up Aimee.- -It's a nice morning, isn't it?- -I said shut up, Aimee.- -Sorry.-. Michael just laughed at that.

I glared at him.

I didn't trust him like I did at the start...

Not at all...
