Fix it & Survive (Backrooms)

Part 9- Confusion and Forbidden Food

Hello everyone! I'm back with the new part! As always, please leave your opinions about the story in the comments, as it definitely CAN impact the story! Also, warning, this chapter will have some swear words in it.

---------------------------------------------------------

- Oh, then can I call you, Smilie?- I asked, after a lot of thought. I haven't exactly got any naming skills, but when I think of them, I always remember the eerie bloody smile that they have.

They seemed to pause for a second, letting go of my hand, and then bursted out practically screaming, - OH WOW! THATS A LOVELY NAME!- they giggled, and I was so glad that I had both of my hands covering my ears, otherwise, I would have gone deaf.

-oOpsiEs, sOrRy...- They struggled to contain their excitement, trying to keep their voice at a normal tone, while R just continued to complain.

- God are you always so loud, 42?- R nagged, while pointing out something we both hadn't noticed. It was the fact that we didn't have a clue what we are going to do, aka, we don't have a plan.

As R and Smilie were arguing, I returned back to my own thoughts, pondering on what had just happened. It also felt as if some external force was speaking for me, I mean I'm pretty sure I didn't say something last time, as if I was cut off..... I don't think I've ever felt like this before. But it's probably nothing, being in different levels sure gets me confused.*

-wait, what the-

[ERROR - INTRUDER ALERT. DEFENSE MECHANISM - ACTIVATED]

A loud noise rang into my ears, causing me to fall onto my knees, my hands basically latched onto my ears. What was that?

- Hello J? Backrooms to J? Anyone in there?- Smilie starts knocking on my head, as I snap back to reality.

-Yes?- I muttered, after zoning out, I almost forgot the situation we are currently in. Damn, whatever that was, sure caught me off guard.

- J, you need to stop zoning out so much! Its gonna get you killed, I swear to god!- R chuckled, helping me get up.

-Sure, I'll try.- I glanced at the office rooms. I remember one of the adults saying that wanderers mentioned how it reminded them of their hellish job in the frontrooms. I guess humans torture themselves in the frontrooms.

- We should probably get out of this level soon, considering that their is a human base here. We could get caught.- Smilie mentioned, - Or else I might have to eat them all.-

- Oh no!- I spoke sarcastically, thinking Smilie was joking. However, they didn't look like they were.

-Your joking right?- I laughed nervously, but Smilie soon silenced me, as they quickly pulled both R and I to the wall.

-What the hell!- R about to interrogate Smilie, until we all heard something from a distance.

- Ay, Tara, did you here that?- A voice grunted, down the hallway. I realized that the voice sounded, different, like it came from a human.

- Ah shit, wanderers, really?- R muttered, seeing that he really doesn't like wanderers. - Come on, we got to hide quickly!- he led me, holding my hand, while signalling Smilie to follow us.

We all decided to hide behind one of the cubicles, as we eavesdropped on the conversation the wanderers were having with each other.

- Greg, are you hearing things again, or have you actually found them?- one of the wanderers, started speaking, sharpening her knife while talking.

- No, I definitely heard somethin, and I know for sure that murderer is here somewhere. They have to be around here somewhere!- He heavily spoke, searching the cubicles one by one. - Can't believe he'd steal my gun, and my purple hat too! That bastards gonna pay.- He threw one of the chairs with rage, but the other wanderer quickly calmed them down.

-Ok, we've already checked this place several times, lets just go look somewhere else.- She rolled her eyes as she dragged the man by his arm, forcefully escorting him out of the area.

R was the first to break the silence between all of us. -You know, that 'murderer' he was referring to, do you think it would be-

-Perfect prey to EAT? Definitely!- Smilie giggled, preparing to find that wanderer. I guess they weren't joking about eating people. They seem to be losing control of themselves.

- Are you kidding me? You want to have a snack break right now?- R mocked Smilie, but they just ignored his rude comment. I decided to follow them, because we didn't really have anything better to do.

- I mean, you know you are killing them, right?- I nervously asked.

- Well J, it doesn't really matter, since they are a murderer, and if I'm not mistaken, murders kill other people anyway. They are social rejects from human society.- Smilie added, reassuring me that it should be 'okay' to end this persons life. We continued to walk around, when we saw a wanderer who matched the description 'Greg' gave to the murderer. They had a purple hat, and a gun on their hands. Smilie immediately pounced on them, and they tried to shoot Smilie. On instinct, I quickly knocked the gun out of their hand, as Smilie dug their 'claws' into their arm. They shrieked in pain, as the blood gushed out of their body. I looked away, not wanting to see the gore and violence that was occurring. I knew R was pretty disturbed at this, but hid it well, which makes me wonder what he's seen before. R decided to go get some almond water, and left the three of us here. After Smilie finished killing the poor man, they offered me some of the body.

- Have you never tasted a human? Its really good you know!- they ripped off a part of their arm, and handed it to me.

-Uh.... I'll try it, I guess?- I didn't want to refuse, and it wasn't like I was against eating humans either. After all, you'd only be offended if you were, well human. Its just that it didn't look as appetizing, like eating raw meat. I tore a finger off, and nibbled on it.

-So, how is it?- They asked gleefully, while munching on an ear.

-Its better than I thought it was going to be.- I answered honestly.

* Yes humans, J is slowly discovering the 4th wall, without knowing it.

So, I'm going to end the chapter here on this note, so that I don't take too long publishing this. I hope to see you in the next chapter!
