You wake up after being knocked out a couple hours ago, you didn't know what had happened but your sure that someone from behind did. You put your hand on the back of your head lightly as look around the mysterious room, it was dark and you could barely make out something. It was a table, with some black stuff drooping to the floor, you shivered, gridding your teeth from the freezing cold. But, you hear something... or Someone. "**Whistle**", you heard whistling across the dark cold room, the tune being somewhat familiar to you. You didn't know why but, you had an instinct to hide. You hid in a locker and stood silently as the lights went on. "W-WHAT!? Where are they!? They were here j-just five hours ago!" A woman's voice was heard, it sounded so familiar to you but you couldn't remember. The strange woman starts to walk pass by the locker... She wasn't a woman nor a human. She was a puppet, you could see that she was moving on her own despite having a host the moves along with her. Her orange hair tied into a bun wearing googles and mask that covered half of her face, eyes the size of a pea. You barely make out her eye colors which were obviously green and blue. She was franticly looking for you as if desperate. "RILEY!! Are you finished!? We need that host now or we'll be all wasted!" A man's voice was heard, it was raspy and low, he sounded angry somehow. "M-Mortimer, I apologize for the delay. But the host seemed to have gotten away-" Riley was cut off by Mortimer, "GOTTEN AWAY!? What do you mean the host has gotten away!? I thought we've made it clear that any host who wonders this territory would be exterminated quickly!" He roared at Riley with fury and rage. Riley seems to look around her workspace to see if she could do anything with the situation. You watched as Mortimer hits Riley with his cane causing her and her host to fall to to the ground, you listened to Mortimer yelling at Riley with such hurtful words. A small tear rolled down her cheek and onto the floor. You felt bad for her, she picks herself up and dusts herself and puts her hands behind her back, she takes a small breath and adjusts herself. "I'll find them in no time, Father." "Good, little Scientist now hurry up." He leaves the room, Riley sat down and began sobbing uncontrollably, "**Sobbing and crying**" she did as well putting her head down, you pressed your body against the locker door, but in seconds the locker swung open and you fell out of it, revealing yourself. "(A crap.." she looks up and stops sobbing she hurriedly grabs her saw, and she sprints toward grabbing you by your shirt collar "AH HAH! GOTCHA HAHAHAH" she laughs maniacally as she was about to bring the Saw toward your face.
