Cleo's POV:
I couldn't sleep. I was terrified.
Scott had insisted on putting a chair against the door, for safety. That was him being very strategic.
That still didn't calm my nerves down.
After what felt like ages, I decided to see if anyone was awake.
"Scott? Pearl? I can't sleep." I said.
Scott instantly jumped out of bed. "Who's there?"
"It's okay Scott. I was just asking if anyone was awake." I tried to hide my laughter.
Pearl was still asleep.
"Well I couldn't sleep either." Scott said.
We sat on our beds in an uncomfortable silence. I walked over to Scott's bed and sat down.
"You were thinking about him, right?" I asked. Scott nodded.
"I don't know. Deaths seem more real this time. They're more heartbreaking." He said.
"Think about it." I paused to look at Scott. "I don't think they'll permanently kill us, you know?"
The cyan haired man nodded in agreement. He sighed.
"I just- why?" I don't blame Grian for starting 3rd life, because it was all supposed to be fun and games. It was experimental."
He flopped backwards onto his bed. "But the Watchers enjoyed it. And then used us for entertainment."
Tears fell down his face.
""C'mon, let's take a walk. It'll make you feel better." I stood up.
"But-."
"The bogeyman can't get both of us together at the same time, Scott."
Quietly, we moved the chair from the door and slid out of the room. We just went down the stairs when we heard voices.
"Let me out. Now." It was a female voice.
"Not until you tell me." This one was male.
"Why do I need to tell you?" The female asked.
"So I can find out if I should trust you or not."
"Well you can't kill me, because I'm not the bogeyman and you're not either." The female voice reasoned.
"Ooh look there's some chloroform in here. Would you like some?" We heard a muffled scream.
"Now while you are out, I can do whatever I want with you." More muffled screaming.
Me and Scott exchanged horrified looks.
"I think there's a room behind the chalkboard." Said Scott. "They're probably in there."
Cautiously, we pulled back the chalkboard. It swung open like a door.
Inside were two cupboards with a countertop above it. On the right, there were shelves full of different chemicals and poisons. On the left were different kinds of weapons hung to the wall.
In front of us was Martyn and Jocelyn. Martyn was holding a cloth to Jocelyn's face. She was tied to a pole on the wall.
Slowly, Martyn turned around.
"Hi...?"
"Martyn, what the fuck are you doing?!" Scott said.
"Look," Martyn took a deep breath. "She can't be trusted until we know she isn't working for them."
