BEFOREMATH (SJSM fanfic)

crying

Hugo:

Madre de dios- that stupid ghost- what the hell was her problem ?! Was she just trying to manipulate me ?! I highly doubt she even wanted to help me, if she did, she would've went about it a smarter way..
Whatever.. there's no escape now, I'll just keep going on for as long as I can now.
Those Specimen 1s said something about a really depressed mannequin around room 210 ? Apparently they won't hurt me, they're too upset to want to do anything to me.. that's kinda sad. It's refreshing to hear I won't be attacked but it's still sad, I feel bad for it

And I think I found their room, the specimen 1s told me not to interact with them. I'm in a room with metal floors and broken, rusty doors, this place feels.. weird, I want to just get out and get this over with, I don't care what's behind those doors, I prefer to stay alive a little longer for now, I don't care if there's some cool item back there or a monster, I'm not taking any chances.

I walked onward, my brain on autopilot, my only goal was to just go onward, I'm too tired in every way possible to try and think of anything else nor do anything else. Maybe I should've let that monster from before just kill me, then this would all be over with, but it's too late now, I've gone this far already, and at least I'm safe from this specimen..

Those bastards.. they left me to be here, even if they entered in way after me, they still abandoned me, and I hate them for it. If they thought this was that bad of an idea, instead of letting me go in anyway, they should've forced me away, I don't blame them for being scared and valuing their lives, but they still let me  die.
If I saw them again, I'd yell at them, I'd ask them ' how could they ?! ', I don't think I could keep being their friend, I wouldn't kill them, but I think I'd have the urge to slap them, I may have come up with the plan but that's still no excuse for what they've done. I feel bad for maybe making it seem like I was forcing them to go, I would've completely understood if they wanted to back out, but still, come on..

I walked into a room, the door slammed shut loudly behind me, I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a raspy yelp followed by loud sobbing, it sounded horrible, it sounded like tortured souls mixed together with nails on a chalkboard, I screamed and covered my ears, I ran over to where the noise was, I saw a greyish yellow mannequin clutching a sword like it's a pillow, they were sat down, rocking back and forth, I could see black ink dripping down from where eyes should be. I think they noticed me, I backed up a little from the gate, and so did the other, I guess this is Specimen 5.. the specimen 1s didn't tell me they'd start screaming and crying so easily !! Oh god-

" UH- DUDE ?! ARE YOU OK ?! "
No verbal response, they just continued to scream and sob, I immediately ran away and out of the room. Instead of slamming it, I made note to just shut it softly as to not scare them anymore than I already did.
I can still hear it, unfortunately, but I can't go back now, plus, they said not to go near them so.. I'll respect their boundaries

I trembled as I walked farther and farther from the loudness, I don't know what exactly that thing was, but they didn't look dangerous, they looked more hurt than I am.. I'd try to hug them if I could, I.. don't know what to think
I feel guilty for leaving them behind, but if they need space then that's fine.. I just wish I could've done more to help
But it's too late for that now, what's the chance I'll ever be able to see that thing again..

Maybe it has something to give it some support ? I'd assume it's the specimen 1s but they're not very nice-
What was that
I just saw something, it was red and fast.. I just saw it zip past me
Maybe.. maybe I'm just losing my mind, I'm just really tired and going insane. Eugh.. I can't believe it's gotten this bad, and how long has it been, too ?? Has anyone started looking for me ?? Did anyone notice I was gone ??
Tch.. I wouldn't be surprised if my "friends" made up some story to get out of trouble, but then again, it's probably for the best that less people come here

I opened the door and before me was a purple cross to my left, a red big present a couple of feet in front of me, I tried stepping forward but I was frozen in place.
I saw her again.. it's the blue ghost that greeted me at the front of the mansion, now I wonder why I didn't take her pressence as a warning that I'd made a big mistake, but even if I did notice, would it have even made a difference.
I looked up at her, she smiled down at me with her soulless eyes, she giggled and held her hands behind her, " so.. still think my existence is a little prank ? "
I stayed silent, I just shook my head, the ghost continued to look at me, she seemed happy with my answer.
" Good. Now, I didn't manage to properly introduce myself, my name is Spooky, and this is my home "
Silence
She cleared her throat " uh.. you made it this far ! You look horrible, I see they must've scared you a lot ! " She sounded more akward now, I think my lack of verbal responses is making her feel weird, but I honestly don't fucking care

" ... You uh.. you can- go- now- uh here's a gift now bye ! " And she left again, I sighed and walked up to the giant red box, I tiredly tore of the wrapping paper, oh this could only be good..
I took the lid off and inside was a message, "turn around"
No.
I went through the door, I won't be falling for such a silly prank, especially not in my current situation.
