A World I Know (AU Sans)

Chapter Five

Killer had left you in a sour mood. The idea of a shower sounded so nice, especially now that you were feeling the grime on your skin. The cell wasn't the cleanest place and even with all that cleaning, you still weren't clean.

 You were sitting on the floor, scratching little doodles with some rocks you found in the cell. You had started to make a mural of little things, thoughts, and shapes. The sun had started to set leaving your cell pretty dark. Too dark to focus on your drawings. You sighed and tossed the rock somewhere in the room, you'd find it again tomorrow. You layed on the floor staring up at the ceiling.

For the past hour, you could hear the sound of a piano being played, all of the songs were slow and sad but they were pretty nonetheless. It made the time pass a little faster, having something to listen to. Even if the songs were faint through the stone walls, it was the only sound you could hear in the quiet cell. You were disappointed when the music stopped. You wondered who was playing it.

The sun had gone down completely and you were now leaning against the bars of your cell. You hated it so much. You didn't mind not having a phone or something to keep you busy but you did mind not being able to move around, and you minded the grey walls. The whole cell was so grey.

The door opening took your attention away from your thoughts, you looked over your shoulder to see Horror, walking with something in his hands. You waited for him at the door and he sat across from you on the other side.

"Hello"

You greeted him, and he waved his fingers at you. He slid three books on the floor for you and you smiled. You looked over the covers of the books, Bird Watching, Beauty and the Beast, and a photographer's guide. You thanked him and got up to set the books on your window sill, before walking back over to horror, who looked like he was about to get up to leave.

When you sat back down, he relaxed.

"Did you guys finish the movie?"

He nodded his head.

"Did you like it?"

He nodded again.

"Was weird...but cool."

You filled the air with your favorite things about the movie, and he just listened. You changed the topic to the books.

"This is a castle, so is there a library you're getting these books from?"

He nodded and made a gesture with his hands, spreading them like he was talking about something big.

"Yes, Lots of..books. Dust goes.. lot. He picked.. beauty and the beast."

You hummed.

"Who is Dust?"

"On the couch."

You nodded. So his name was Dust. Two more to go.

"Tell him I said thank you, then. Did you pick the bird-watching one?"

He nodded his head.

"It's mine..from my..room."

"I'll give it back to you when I'm done with it then."

"No..already read..you keep it."

You smiled at him, and he smiled back? you weren't too sure but the corners of his smile went up more. It was creepy but endearing.

"Dinner..almost ready. You can...come."

He stood up, and you did too, excited that you were able to leave your cell again. He opened your cell and waited for you to walk out before shutting it again. The two of you walked up the stairs and out into the hallway. You perked up a few thoughts running through your head.
