Six Souls, One Man (#Wattys2016)

Chapter Fifteen: Night One

Mat stared through the cameras. Nothing had moved and the room was silent except for a small fan.

"Hm~ Hm~ Hm~" Mat hummed as he switched to the stage again. Jin was gone.

<MeanWhile>
Jin moved his head and walked off stage, just as they planned to do.

He didn't feel right, and neither did everyone except Nate, who was watching nearby. He had a blank expression and was looking at a camera, arms crossed.

Jin heard a yell echo. Mat must of realized how hard this job really was.

<In The Office>
Mat yelped as he flipped to a camera. It was Nate......but his face seemed different. It had these tear streaks.

"Just a Nightmare......soon I'll be set free...~" A voice sang. It echoed through the halls.

Mat's ears perked up as the song sounded familiar to him. The voice too. But Nate was dead, wasn't he?

<MeanWhile>
Adam looked up and turned his head. This didn't seem right. Not at all.

<In The Office>
Mat slammed the doors shut as the Puppet-like Nate came closer. He chuckled to himself and held his head.

A purple filter covered his vision and Mat screamed. He fell to the ground of the office and curled into a ball under the desk.

Nate was watching in horror as Mat's cries filled the silent building. This wasn't good.

His eyes darkened as he too fell to ten ground, screaming in agony. Nate clutched his chest, feeling something exploding in his chest.

Something inside him wanted out. And it wanted it now.

Mat reached for the desk with a shaky hand and pulled papers on top of him, as well as a pen, which struck his eye.

"AHHHH!" He screamed. Mat held his eye as the pen rolled away, leaving its ink trail.

His eye burned like holy h***. The theorist got to his feet and checked his reflection. His eyes were a dark shade of purple, angry it seemed.

He felt his skin burn as it changed to a purple tint, his uniform doing the same.

"Mat, did you think I forgot our agreement?"
