A game of hearts || Chishiya Shuntaro

Chapter 6: run, run||♠️6

Song: knights-crystal castles

Visa days: 2.

The first thing I'm meet with when I get inside the funhouse is a room to the right, a hallway forward and a staircase to the left. I stop for a second and try to think about where to go.

I choose the stairs since it's always easier to get down again than up. I start walking up the stairs determined. "Sure that's the right way?" I hear a voice behind me.

I turn around and the annoying guy looks at me concerned. "No, but I'm going up here" I answer and turn around again. "But what if it's wrong?" The same man asks. So I was right, he is annoying.

I roll my eyes while I turn back to him. "This isn't a clubs game. We don't have to clear it together. You can go wherever you want" I sneer. "Fine I'll go here" the man says and starts walking into the hallway.

"Whatever floats your boat" I mumble while walking up the stairs. Right after, I hear a ear-piercing scream. I see the annoying man getting a knife straight through his chest. The person holding the knife is wearing a white mask and a black cape. Like the killer in the scream movies.

"Run!" I hear someone say and they start pushing me up the stairs. I trip in my own feet and I stumble a few steps up. The man with the military pants run in front of me and then to the left.

I stand up and get ready to run when I hear another scream from behind me. I quickly turn around and I see the boy around my age getting stabbed in the leg. I kick the killer in the face and he falls down the stairs.

"Hey, come on" I say while helping up the boy. He leans on me while we walk the same way the other man ran. When we get around the corner I see the military-man waiting for us. He has climbed onto the next floor and from up there he helps me get the other guy up.

When I get ready to climb up I see the killer running towards me. "Shit" I curse under my breath. I won't have time to climb up so I continue to run down the hallway.

I run as fast as I can. I rip open a door and behind it I'm meet with a pond. I have to jump on small stones to get over it. It's almost like it would've been in a normal funhouse, but this one has piranhas in the water.

Before I start jumping over the pond I turn around to see if I can see the killer and of course I can. I start jumping and trying not to fall into the water. I see the killer struggling because of it's cape. Well he will also die if he falls.

I have a bit of a head start when I get to the next obstacle which is getting past some boxing bag things hanging form the roof. I can hear the killer behind me, but when I get past the obstacle I can't see him anymore. Did he go another way?

Better for me anyways. The next obstacle is a mirror maze. I try my best to run through it, but multiple times I run into mirrors. Suddenly I see someone in front on me. I don't know exactly where the person is because of the mirrors, but then I feel a hand on my shoulder.

I turn around and I see the guy. I breathe out a relieved breath. "I know the way out" he whisper-screams. I nod and he navigates us through the maze. He limps and I don't think he should walk on the foot, but if he doesn't he'll die. Suddenly the killer appears in front of us.

I get ready to leave the guy and run, but then the killer falls to the ground. Behind him the military-man stands with a raised gun. "This way!" He shouts to us. Me and the guy follow him. He killed the killer, but how can we know if that was the only killer?

We run through different obstacles. We get to a long slide. I can't see where it ends. The military-man slides down it unfazed. I follow quickly after him and then the other guy after me.

When I get down I see a green door in front of me with a exit-sign over it. Since the military-man is gone I guess he went through there. I open the door and walk out. From my phone I can hear a noise.

Game cleared. Congratulations!

I see the military-man picking up the card from the table. I hear the door behind me open and then close again. The young guy collapse to the ground. I try to catch him in his fall, but I fail.

He falls to the ground. I sit down on my knees beside him. I have to use something to stop the bleeding. I can't exactly boast about my medical knowledge, but when you have a brother who gets into fights everyday you learn a thing or two.

What can I use to stop his bleeding? I think my only option is my tank top. I rip it off my body and start tying it around is leg. I try to not make it too tight or too loose.

I have to just wear my sports bra now, but at least a man won't my dying. "Are you okay?" I ask as I help him up. "Yes, thank you" the guy thanks. I nod at him and turn around. I don't know this guy and therefore I don't care about what he'll be doing now.

I look at the other man before I walk to my bike and head home. The bike ride is calming, but very cold since I had to offer my tank top. But it's fine since the ride is pretty short.

On the bike ride home I start to wonder about what I'll do. Like of course I'll play games, count visa days and get surviving supplies, but is that a life? I'm already tired of this and it's only my third day in the borderlands I believe.

How long is this going to last?
