NOCKFELL~Sally Face x Reader

Chapter Six

He was typing for ages, but the text finally popped up. "First day I moved to Addison Apartments, a murder had happened the night before, Mrs. Sanderson. Her throat has been sliced open. There was officers and detectives there working on who did it. I met Larry and he told me he was there when it happened. He was unclogging her toilet and he had seen who had murdered her. He told me who it was an told me to go find an clues. Mrs. Sanderson and this guy called Charley both collected these glitter ponies. And Mrs. Sanderson had gotten a super rare one and Charley had murdered her so he could have it. Slit her throat. So I snook into Charley's room and knocked him out with tea and sleeping pills, and took the toy, which had bloodstains on it, I gave it to the detective and they arrested Charley. But months later there was no reports on the murder the police officers didn't exist and Charley, was a completely different man on his mugshot. That's when I got into conspiracy theories and ghosts. Todd is too. Larry not so much." Sal texted. My jaw dropped lower than ever before. "Anymore weird stories I should know about before going on one." I replied to him, not knowing what else to say. "Well last year at school this disgusting meat was being served to everyone, called bologna, me, Larry, Ash and Todd decided to find out what was in it. We figured out our math's teacher Mrs. Packerton, was making it from at home. We snook into her apartment, we found a dead goat. We found Mr. Packerton. He was almost dead chained to a bed on life support, the room was nasty, filled with diapers. He told me to pull the plug and let him pass on. So I did. Ash came which scared me and Larry so bad. And we opened a room that stank worse than the other. I opened a freezer and found. Skin. Off humans. And eyeballs and tongues. It was disgusting. We didn't have to ring the police because, she died on her way home in a car crash." He texted. My jaw dropping even further than before. "Anything else?" I said nearly throwing up. "Ash feel down a garbage Shute. I had a vision that she was in a certain room. You know the room beside Larry's apartment all covered up with shelves, yeah that one, we went in me, Todd and Larry and we found a trapdoor. We went down it and found a Satanic temple. We found Ash and got the fuck out of there." He added onto all the madness. "There's a fucking temple underneath Nockfell?" I asked. "Yeah, but we don't think it's in use anymore." He replied. "I hope not." I answered. "I'll show you the room tomorrow." Sal said. "Okay, goodnight." I replied. "Goodnight Connie."
I woke up, laying on a cold, hard surface. I sat up, my head pounding. "Hello?" I called out. "Shhh." A voice whispered from my right. I looked over and seen a guy who was very familiar. "Are you Todd's boyfriend?" I whispered. He nodded. "What is this place." I asked quietly. "Some type of cultist temple." He replied. "Why are you locked up?" I said walking towards the cage he was locked in. "They put me in here." He replied. "How do I get you out?" I questioned looking at the large metal bars. "You can't." He replied. "Where's Todd?" I asked. "They have him." He said tearing up. "One minute I'll sort things out." I said walking towards a large door. I pushed it open and walked into some type of ritual spot. I hid behind a wall. There were people there in cloaks. Chanting. This was a cult. I ran back to Todd's boyfriend, I had forgotten his name. "Hey, where's Sal and Larry?" I asked. He looked at me like I was a ghost. "They're dead." He said.

I jolted awake in my bed. Another nightmare? Thats unusual. I picked up my phone. "Hey, wanna go see that room." Sal texted me around five minutes ago. "Yeah, coming now." I said, getting up out of bed and throwing on sweats and a hoodie, without even looking.

I got down to the basement still half asleep, rubbing my eyes. The elevator dinged and I stepped out. "You read- omg you look like you've been drinking all night." Sal exclaimed. "I haven't but I had nightmares again." I said. "What about this time." Sal asked pushing things out the way of the door. "I was in the temple, Todd's boyfriend was there locked in a cage, he told me they had Todd and I went to see who "they" were, there was people wearing cloaks, chanting in some different language. I ran back to Todd's boyfriend and asked where you and Larry were and he told me yous were dead." I said kinda giggling at how dumb my dream sounded now. "What did the temple look like?" Sal said stopping in his tracks. "Stoney, there was a pentagram on the floor and some Ancient books on pedestals. There was a big door as well." I told him, he turned around. "That wasn't a dream. It was a vision." He said dumbfounded. "I doubt it." I said to soothe him. "No, you just explained exactly what the temple looks like." He said almost excitedly. "What? Really?" I asked actually a bit freaked out. "Yeah, come on I'll show you." He said dragging me into a room. "Wait." I said shakily. "What, what is it?" He asked. "This is the room from my dream. The one where you were all dead." I said looking at the dull and empty apartment. "Visions." He said taking my hand and opening the trapdoor. We got down into the temple and he was right it looked exactly how it did in my dream, or vision.
"But if I'm getting visions, doesn't that mean all that bad stuff is going to happen?" I asked Sal. "We all die, Connie." He added. "Yes but Larry wasn't old.." I said to Sal. "And you were in your late twenties maybe." I added. "And Ash was about 30 maybe I don't know." I kept adding on. "What you never mentioned that." He said turning around to face me. "Larry looked about 20.." I said quietly. "Only..?" Sal said looking down. "Yes." I answered. Sal looked at me. "You can't tell Larry." He said to me sternly. "Okay I won't." I nodded. He brought me back upstairs to the apartments. "We both have visions." He said out of nowhere. "Yes, I guess so, or mine are just dreams and that was a coincidence." I said trying to lighten things. "No, you couldn't have known how that temple looks." He said closing the trap door. "Doesn't that also mean, there's a cult in process, if my vision was actually a vision?" I asked as he covered back up the door. "Yes. But we don't know how far away that vision takes place, because if I'm dead, and I died in my late twenties and I'm 17 now. It will have to be years and years away." He explained. "True.." I agreed.

We walked to the elevator and got inside, we planned to go to his room to talk about this further. We got inside his apartment. "So how do you suppose Larry died?" He asked me while handing me a bag of chips. "Hmm, to be honest I think it was either drugs or suicide, he didn't look scared." I said truthfully. "What about Ash?" He asked. "Suicide, she had a massive gash on her wrist, vertically." I told him. "What, what about me?" He asked me looking straight into my eyes. "I'm very unsure." I lied, he was wearing a prison jumpsuit but I didn't have the guts to tell him that's where he'd end up. "You're lying." He said coldly. "I think it was while you were sleeping." I said truthfully. "Because you had on a sleeping mask." I added. "What else was I wearing?" He asked quietly. "A jumpsuit." I said avoiding eye contact. "A jumpsuit?" He asked confused. "Yeah I don't know." I said acting confused. "Right, that's weird." He laughed. "What about Todd?" He asked. "Well he was very freaked out, it was like he was trying to warn me of something though, of the cult. He was delirious though, not making any sense." I said munching on some chips. "Right. Very interesting." Sal said. "I've had similar nightmares to that." He added on. "Really, what about?" I asked while I watched gizmo curl up in a ball on the end of Sal's bed. "My friend's dead. I actually had one the day you moved here." He said looking away. "Was I dead?" I asked. "Yes. Everyone was." He said coldly. "Maybe they aren't visions, just dreams." I said patting him shoulder. "No. It's odd, Larry and Ash weren't in mine. But they were in yours." He said looking at me. "Okay, that's weird." I said shocked. "How did I die in yours?" I asked him after a short silence. "Stabbed." He said quietly. "Damn, where?" I asked him. "In the stomach." He replied. "Damn, I wouldn't of died straight away then." I said laughing. "Person just let me bleed out." I added on hitting his arm.

Some time had passed and we were just watching YouTube. "Do you think Larry would ever kill himself?" I asked Sal. "Nah, not a chance." He said adjusting the pillow he was leaning on. "So you think it would be drugs." I asked him another question. "Yeah, he probably tried something too strong, overdose, not on purpose though, that's not Larry." He said, looking straight at the TV. "I don't think it will even happen." I said laughing. Sal laughed too. "And it's only a week before spring break." I reminded him. "Oh yeah you're right." He said, looking over at me, by now I was lying on my back, Gizmo was lying on my belly and my legs were up against his wall. "Comfy?" He asked me. "Yeah, very." I smirked.

Suddenly Sal's bedroom door burst open. "Sal, why you not answering any of my texts man-." Larry scrambled for words and paused when he seen me lying on Sal's bed. "Ooooh, that's why." He said elbowing Sal. "Stop it Larry we are just watching YouTube." Sal said pushing Larry off him. "Yeah Larry jeez, get it together." I said jokingly. He sat down on the floor in front of us. I moved towards Sal. "I'm going to head back to my apartment now. Thanks for letting me come over." I said to Sal. "Do you want me to walk you back, me and Larry are probably going to go to his place." He said sitting up a bit. "Yeah, sure." I said getting up off his bed.
Sal and Larry walked me back to my apartment and I waved them off at the door. I got into the shower, my skin burning from the water. Afterwards I got into my pjs and put my hair in a ponytail this time, I walked towards me room. "Connie?" My dad called out. "Yes dad?" I replied. "Are you hanging out with boys in their apartments." He said, I could tell he was drunk. "Yes, why?" I said smugly. "I bumped into some Henry guy. He told me you were in his apartment with his son, Sal." He said getting up off the couch and walking towards me. "Yeah, I was at Sal's, is there a problem?" I asked. "What happened to your face?" He said grabbing my arm. "Stop, you're grabbing too tight. Some guy at school hit me for calling him a fag." I told him. He let go. "Go to bed, before I give you another one." He said pushing me towards the door of my bedroom. Instead of walking to my bedroom. I put my shoes on and walked out the apartment. I walked down the hall to the elevator and put in my keycard going down to the basement. I stepped out of the elevator and knocked on Larry's door, his mom opened it. "Hey, the boys are in the room. Come on in." She said cheerfully. "Thanks Lisa." I spoke then I walked over to Larry's room, I knocked and Larry opened it. "Hey, you alright?" He said looking puzzled. "Yes can I come in?" I asked, he opened the door for me. "Thought you were going to bed?" Sal asked. "Change of plans." I said smugly. "She might be on her period Sal." Larry whispered to Sal. "I heard that and I'm not." I said annoyed. "Then whats got your knickers in a twist?" Larry said put his arm around my shoulder. "My dad." I said folding my arms. "What'd he do?" Larry asked. "He's just drunk, and being a dick." I said to Larry. "Man, sorry about that." Larry said, signalling for Sal to come over. "Well, wanna get high." Sal said holding up even more edibles. "Yeah sure." I laughed slightly. "Larry you want lemon?" Sal asked. "Sure do." Larry said taking from Sal. "Connie, you get strawberry this time." He said sweetly. He was so sweet to me. "Thanks Sal." I replied, taking the strawberry one. "And I'll have blueberry." He said opened the packet and taking a bite before I could switch them. Maybe.. I do like Sal..
