Somber Secrets ~

Living Nightmare

[Marshall's POV:]

 I woke up once again on the floor. I realized I was sideways, and not where I was the last time. Could it be that I was dragged to another floor of the mansion? I sat up and looked around. This damn place was huge. There was a hallway in front of me. I got up abruptly and walked toward it. I was now standing in a dark, creepy hallway. I guess I have no choice. I started walking, and saw a door on my left. This was risky, but it was worth the risk. If it meant keeping my sister and my friends safe, I'll be willing to do anything at this point. That demon bitch Britt went to far. She won't lay a finger on anyone. Not before I beat her ass. This was making me too angry, I need to calm down. I opened the door, and luckily nobody was in here. There was a bed, couch, and coffee table. There was also a bathroom. I went inside and looked in the mirror. 

How long has it been since we got here? Now i'm starting to wonder about that. How long was I passed out for? For all I know everyone could be dead! No, I can't think like that. I turned on the sink. Fresh water. I sighed, I felt like this was a bad sign that we had fresh water. I took off my glasses and splashed some water in my face to wake me up. I put my glasses back on and walked out of the room. I was now back in the hallway. I suddenly heard a loud noise. This time it was more of a bang, or something falling. Whatever it was it scared the shit outta me,and I started to run. I ran inside another room,and shut the door. Holy crap. That noise was not good. I waited for a few minutes, to see if it would happen again, but it didn't. I walked back into the hallway, finding a small spiral staircase. I walked up it, onto another floor. 

I wandered and wandered for an hour or so. Still nobody. Where are they all? By now I felt like they were dead. But I still wouldn't admit to that thought. What about Jaimie? She's probably anxious as hell.. I kept walking, but then suddenly stopped. I noticed a shadow reflected onto the floor. My heart sank in fear. "Marshall?" I heard a voice. It was Kate. "Kate! Are you okay?" I said as she came into view. Once she did, my smile fell apart. There was blood on her clothes, and bruises and cuts on her face. "Holy shit! What the hell happened to you!?" I was in pure shock. She clearly ran into Britt. There was a really faint dark circle around her left eye. "Me, Morgan, Kiera, Gene, Ruben, and Jake ran into Britt." She stated. "We fought her, and she's stronger than she looks. Come on, I got them in a room hiding." She said as she leaded me down the hall and to the right. There was a door. We entered and Morgan and Kiera were fighting. Ruben broke the two up. "You guys! Stop it!" Kate yelled. Good thing the door was shut. They looked at us. "Marshall, your alright." Ruben looked at me. They all were bruised and cut. And here I was sitting perfectly fine. "Yeah.. I heard about you guys running into Britt.." I looked back at him and everyone else. "She used her freaking demonic magic shit on us." Morgan said, as if it was unfair. "Well, what did you expect? Her to punch you in the face lightly? She said herself that this wasn't going to be easy." I said, turning to look at Kate. "Marshall's right. We all knew she wasn't going to go easy on us. We just weren't ready. She appeared so abruptly.." Kate stated. I scanned over everyone. "Where are the others? Have you seen them at all?" I asked curious. They all shook their heads. "We have to find Jaimie, Cai, Tyler, Finny, Bryce, and Mason. And Mary." Jake stood up, looking at the six of us. "We should rest for a limited amount of time. Britt hurt us pretty bad." He said sitting back down. Suddenly the door opened, we all had a small gasp of fear. It was Jaimie thankfully. "Jaimie! Your okay!" I went over to hug her. "Wh-What happened to you guys..?" She realized the others injured and bloody. "Britt happened. She used her demon shit to wreck us." Gene said. She was now sitting down on the couch. 

[Jaimie's POV]

I couldn't believe my friends were hurt. My hope for their safety crumbled into pieces. I began to tear. "You guys...I-I'm so sorry.." I said, as some tears trickled down my cheek. "Jaimie, you didn't cause this." Gene said as she walked over, leading me towards the couch. Marshy suddenly sat down next to me and Gene. "Listen, Britt obviously knows something we don't. There's more to this game we don't know about. But we're going to find out. Because we're gonna kick that demon's ass all the way back to hell!" Morgan looked at me and smiled. This is her soft side. She cared. "Alright. But I have a question." I said, looking at all of them. "How'd you guys survive the encounter?" I wondered. Kate looked at me.  "There was this noise, and all of a sudden, she fled." Kate explained. Marshy's eyes widened a bit. "I heard that noise and I was on the second floor...is that how loud it was? It was distant, but you still could hear it." Marshy said, glancing at Kate.  What could of made Britt get scared so much that she'd flee from a fight? Whatever it was, it was not  friendly. "Maybe something fell. It sounded like that. To me at least." Marshy added, trying to calm everyone down at least a little bit. Ruben looked at us. "We can't worry about what it was now. We need to take a short rest. When Britt meant game, she meant game. By then everyone sat down and rested. I fell asleep on Marshy's shoulder. As I started to relax, I realized this all was real, and that we all were living this.  

[Mary's POV:] 

My wrists started to hurt. I was chained against a wall, like a prisoner. I couldn't reach far with these damn shackles locked on me. There were bars, just in case if I did find a way to break the chains I wouldn't be able to run. I've been sitting here for god knows how long. A day? 3 days? A month? I don't know anymore. I heard screams before. The others probably ran into Britt. This game was unfair and complete torture. I put my back against the wall, sighing. There was a mirror on the other side of the room that was shattered in its bottom right corner. I could still see my reflection. My hair was a mess, dark circles around my eyes, and cuts almost everywhere. Don't forget the bruises. Especially on my wrists. The locked chains were cold. All of a sudden, the door flung open. It was Britt. She looked at me. She started walking over to the bars. "Fucks sake. Can you not stay quiet? I've been hearing the bars make noise all day. Your friends heard it too."  She glared down at me. "Bullshit. I haven't made a noise all day. Obviously I try to break free, but it never works. I can't even reach the bars. If I did make it to the bars I'd break my wrists in the process." I explained. Britt suddenly changed her expression. She looked.....scared? "Shit." She said cursing under her breath. Something was wrong here. "No. Shit, shit, shit." She started pacing back and forth. Her worry turned into fear. "What?" I questioned. I got not response. "Bitch is here to make sure I don't screw shit up." She mumbled. I started to worry myself. Britt stopped pacing. "No! I'll show her I won't fuck it all up...!"  She turned around and grabbed a huge knife, and ran out the door. I know she was going to go and kill someone. What was all this panic about? I pulled a bit on my chains. "Wait-" I was cut off as the door closed. Leaving me in the dark. With one small candle as a light source. And it wasn't helping very much. Why the hell did Britt just flip the hell out? She looked scared. I didn't even think it was possible to scare her. But whatever she's scared of, it's not friendly. It's worse than satan himself. And I did not like the thought of that, but I was 98% sure I was right..

This is going to become a living nightmare. For all of us.
