Another Way Out

Chapter 9

"Is she okay?" I could hardly hear through the ringing in my ears. I block open my eyes and look around. I was in my room, with six people around me. "Oh thank Zalgo!" My sister threw herself on top of me. I realized that Slendy, Masky, Hoodie, Toby, and a girl were looking at us, Toby with an amused look and everyone else with worry. "She's marked, but I can't promise she'll be alright," the girl said, the bottom half of her face covered by a mask. "Thank you, ANN. We'll cover it from here." Slendy nodded to her and she slipped out. I sat up, and realized something else. I wasn't wearing a shirt. I felt the heat rising to my face. I go to pull the blanket up and notice my arm in a sling. I tried to move it but it hurt. "I wouldn't move it, you probably won't again...." Slendy was very concerned, he was pacing, "I've contacted my brothers..... We need to examine you for signs of Corruption." Hoodie and Masky gasped. My sister hugged me tighter. "Something went wrong and we'll have to see what... Until then, Masky and Hoodie will watch you." Slendy left the room, leaving dread in his wake. I buried my face into my hands.
