Seek's exorcism (Roblox Doors story)

× Chapter 3 ×

EYES POV

It's snowing today. It's also pretty cold outside.

It's 6 a.m. now. I cant sleep, for some reason.

I wanted to light up the fireplace, to let the room heat a bit, keeping the light off. The ambience it creates it's relaxing.

I heard a door open.

It's Seek.

That's odd. He never wakes up at this hour.

"Alredy awake?"

"Yeah. I fell asleep in the library last night. I've got enough sleep." he said, sitting on a sofa next to me, facing the fireplace.

"Why are you awake, too?"

"You know I always wake up at this hour every day. It's like a force that keeps waking me up every day..."

I looked at Seek for a moment.

"Are you hungry?"

"Hm? Uh... Yeah, a little bit"

"Well, there's a cup with your favorite drink there. I also heated it a bit."

"Well thanks, but how did you know about it?" Seek said, picking up the drink.

"Guessing."

There's blood in the cup.

Seek really likes it...i mean, he's a vampire after all? He only drinks that.

"Do you really... Like that thing"

"Of course. I need to drink it daily." he leaned more forward the fireplace. "But, there might be consequences if I can't find it, or any food at all..."

"And what they might be?"

He looked in the cup.

"I might have to drink Figure's blood or even eat his flesh...i don't know how he could feel if I hurt him... I would be devastated..."

We both stayed silent. The only thing we could heard was the crackling of the fire and the sound of Seek drinking from the cup.

TIME SKIP

Everyone woke up.

We are all  around the fireplace, in the hangout spot.

I find it quite nice staying here togheter, in a cold day of winter.

We can finally rest after a lot of work.

Seek went to the library again.

I wonder what they do all these hours togheter...

Maybe they enjoy staying with each other, or they peraphs like to read togheter?

All I know is that Figure spends a lot of time alone in the library...

Maybe...maybe there's something more with both of them..

Whatever.

SEEK POV

"Hey Figs, do you want to come to the hangout spot with me? The others are there, too." I asked.

Figure looked at me deeply. He started to play with his fingers and stuttering.
He doesn't like when he leaves the library. He says it's a quiet place. The hangout spot, however, it's the opposite of quiet.

Since Figure's hearing its sensitive, the sound from his point of wiev are amplified, at the point that the ears start to bleed.

It happens sometimes.

It hurts him a lot.

"I...uh...i-i"

"Figure, I'll try to make them stay more quiet, alright?"

"I-i don't k-know..."

"Please?"

He gulped.

"Fine..."

"Ok, let's go."

I took his hand. He was shivering.

He's really scared of that place. He only leaves the library when we have to go to sleep, so he isn't used to leave it when it's morning or evening.

"We are here." I said to him "Wait a moment."

I let go his hand and opened the door of the h.spot.

"Seek, you're here, finally" Ambush said.

"Guys, I brought Figure here. Please, be more quiet, you know what happenes when we make a lot of noise..."

I looked behind me.

Figure was now shivering really bad.

Ambush's voice is powerful, like Rush's. So when he spoke, that must have hurt Figure a bit.

I then proceded to take Figure's hand again and walked in the room. Everyone was silent now.

" H-hello..."

"Hello" everyone said, one by one.

I let him sit next to the fireplace.

He must be really cold, since it's snowing.

He doesn't talk much, he doesn't spend much time with the others, unlike me, plus he is shy. Really shy.

We stayed there for a bit, until Rush and Ambush got into a fight. Their voices were really loud; when I looked to Figure, he was covering his ears. His legs were curled up to his chest.

When I looked closely, though, I saw something red on the sides of his face.

I knew what it was.

I dragged Figure out of there.

"Let me see your hands! Now!"

He slowly pulled off the hands from his ears, whining in pain. They were covered in blood.

He's crying, too. I can hear his heavy breath.

TIME SKIP

Glitch putted some bandages on Figs ears.

Now he's sleeping on the bed, with the head on my legs.

"Seek, it's the 5th time now." Glitch said.

"I can't di anything about it. It's impossible to control those 2."

I looked at Figure. He looks so innocent and vulnerable right now.

"We should do something about it."

"And what should we do?... I'm going to the Courtyard."

"Whit this cold? Are you trying to get a flu?" Glitch said, grabbing my arm.

"I need to clear my mind." I answered, grunting.

I took my cigarettes and went out the infirmary.

It's actually cold.

I don't mind it though.

I sitted on the stairs of the little hallway of the Courtyard, lighted up the cigarette, and I let my mind travel in the deep of my thoughts.

While thinking, I saw something shiny in the snow.

I walked to it.

It looks like a necklace with a...star on it?

"What is this?"
