Chapter Thirty-Five:

Best Friend

-...-

Setting: Fifth floor

Group: Tyler, Seto, Brice, Ian, Ty, Sky

Tick....tock...tick....tock.....

The group arrived to the fifth floor, only to find the sound of a clock echoing within the walls. In the large room, with hardly any furniture at all, something was painted out onto the floor. A giant clock, so it seemed, with numbers as well.

Ian's eyes could not look away from the floor presented to them "U-uh...what is that??"

"I'm not the only one here who thinks the texture to the medium is questionable?" Sky asked, finding an interesting smell coming from the air.

"It's not paint if that's what you're asking." Brice said. He was the expert in paint as long as Tyler could act, so it's best to believe him.

Seto stared down at the floor clock. Everyone knew it was probably blood, but nobody wanted to say it. But there was something else peculiar about the blood on the floor. Seto could sense something more then a scent arising from it. Seto could also smell the magic fused with it, as if a dog had peed on the carpet. The stench was that of someone afraid.

In conclusion, Seto felt odd about the circle. He couldn't tell exactly what the magic did, and he really didn't want to find out why it was there to begin with. Did it mask something else? Was there a consequence to stepping inside the clo- oh well no sense Tyler just proved that wrong. Seto shuddered at the thought that Tyler could've just cursed himself, but Seto had not noticed the magic do anything. It just sat there. Buttt it's not like a dog's pee would jump from the carpet and attack anyone who walked by. But then again, Magic is on a different level entirely.

Speaking of being on another plain of existence, Tyler had walked across the clock to stare up at the wall. Where the riddle and the broken clock used to be, and slightly, and somewhat intimidatingly larger clock was placed. And something else scared the nerd about it, as it wasn't a normal clock. This clock was a 24 hour clock.

"Is that the one ticking? Or could this floor clock be mysteriously ticking?" Ian asked, joining Tyler in the gazing of the 24 hour wall clock.

"I think it's the one on the wall, as it does...actually move. God forsake the floor clock moves." Seto said, turning his attention from the magic to the wall clock as well.

"It doesn't even have hands, so who'd be the one drawing them?" Sky asked.

"Nose goes." Brice shrugged, placing his index finger to his nose.

"No no, we're not doing that." Seto shook his head. He gets that Brice is trying to lighten the mood, but it's not like anyone jumped in to join either.

Back to the nerd, Tyler couldn't help but ponder if the added hours meant what he thought they did. This riddle wasn't any hard if Onity was trying to be funny. In fact, it only infuriated the boy that that fucking asshole would find joy in bringing more friends into his punishment. God, Onity made Tyler want to scream. Wait, no, stop. If Tyler could hear the words you typed, or were about to type, right now, he'd make a note to turn in his destined grave when the time comes. One thousand times over.

So let's rephrase that better: Onity's mere existence made Tyler want to stab a bitch.

Anyway, there was more to be discovered in the room. In fact, a door on the wall opposite to the one they entered in existed. In fact, Tyler has seen this very door since loop one, and has never once figured out it's contents. He couldn't deny that his curiosity scared him, but his determination to beat that fucker's ass and win at life was all the guy needed. (Certainly not sanity, right?)
