Episode 66-68!!

>>>>< Bring 'em Out><<<<

Sitting n the floor, Ben is quietly braiding my hair. The others were playing a game on the tv. Heh- what a bunch of crazy kids. They take games a bit to seriously.

"Taylor, you left! Your left!!" Aiden yelled
"LOGAN HELP; LOGAN HELP!!" Now officially panicked Taylor was screaming
"I told you fix the door." Tyler grumbled
"Go to the basement, and move the box there's a crawl space" Logan had explained
"We've only been playing for minutes dude, how the hell did you figure that out?!"

Their voices faded out as my head seemed heavier. Hmm...This-This is nice, I say to myself. Just being normal kids, playing video games, laughing, hanging out at each there houses. That's what we're supposed to be doing. Not almost are end up dying running away from those phantoms and whatever those new centipede things are.

I wake up and notice how quite things are. "Guys?" I ask into the darkness of the hall

CLANK-

I hear a sound come from one of the rooms and heads towards it. This isn't one of their pranks again is it?

I open the door and see all of them in the room "Why are y'all sitting in the dark like that?"

I hear a soft voice call my name.. "Ashlyn.."
I turn around and see Logan... terrified
"That's not us.." He whispered

Suddenly, the air escapes my lungs. What the...

Those aren't... I glanced at the others who now had disturbing smiles plastered on their faces..

>>><<<

I gasp for air as I spring up from the white bed. That was unnerving..

Wait... Where the fuck am I?! Where are the others??

What about Aiden and Tyler? They were at different locations, had they been captured too? Had anyone managed to escape? Or at least send a message? Wait. White walls, white clothes, enclosed room... I make a mental note to myself.
Was this an intervention of involuntary commitment? Obviously unprofessionally, but were we brought to a Psych Ward for exhibiting symptoms of mania or schizophrenia? I look around the room and spot a camera in the corner.

KNOCK KNOCK-

Somebody's coming.

With a quick click, the door swung open. "Ah-hello, didn't mean to startle you."

Meanwhile, I pushed the bed at least five feet in front of me while squatting in the corner, desperately trying to keep my distance. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice steady but low, trying to conceal the panic bubbling inside me. "My name is Alex. I'll be in charge of your care from now on," he replied with a forced smile.

Pfft, care... No one in the last few days has ever truly 'cared' for us. I feigned a nod, skepticism gnawing at my insides. "I know you're confused and scared right now, so I'll do my best to explain the situation," he continued, his tone a blend of reassurance and condescension.

The conversation was brief. He-Alex-basically showed me that all the others were here too, even Aiden and Tyler. It felt like a twisted reunion. He also dropped the bombshell that we were sick because of a fungus. A nurse would be coming in soon to do bloodwork, he informed me, claiming that they'd be running tests and attempting to keep us comfortable while they "help us." Of course, I didn't 100% believe that pile of bull, but I had to act like I did.

Not long after Alex exited, they asked me a series of questions about the hallucinations. Not trusting these people at all, I kept my responses vague and evasive, a strategy developed in the depths of disbelief.
I silently hoped the others wouldn't spill too much either, wary of the consequences that might follow if we revealed too much, if we let them see just how deep our fears ran. As the door clicked shut behind Alex, an unsettling silence enveloped the room.

I was left alone with my thoughts, anxiously anticipating the next move in this precarious game we found ourselves trapped in.
