Hell in Dimensions

12

We ran as fast as we could.

"I think it came from Skylar's room!" Mark told me.

I pushed Sky's door and we found her pointing her gun towards some shadow...

"Wait wait! Don't shoot!" It was a guy's voice.

Mark quickly turned on the lights and we saw an emo guy. He was hot! He had black eyeliner all over his eyes. He had black long hair shaved from the sides of his head, with the tips of the long part in a shade of red. He had black jeans, with some chains on it. He had a black tank top with a skull on it. He was around 17 years old and had 4 piercings, one on his nose, another on his left ear and one on his lips.

He seemed fit, but not as strong as Mark ;).

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM YOU CREEP?!" Sky spurted out.

"Oh sorry I-" He stared for a moment to Sky, he smirked and he said,

"Heeeey ;) I couldn't help but entering this room with this beauty sleeping alone"

"Oh shut up! Tell me the truth!" Sky said annoyed.

"Okay okay, geez, you're hard to get. I landed in front of this mansion here for some fucked up reason, and I tried to enter but none of the doors nor windows were opened except this one. I thought that I would be alone but.... Apparently not" He winked at Sky. She just twitched her nose in an angry way.

"What's your name and age?" Mark asked pretty calmed.

"I'm Jonathan Rothford, I'm 17 years old, currently single." He winked at Sky again. She turned around annoyed.

She turned around again slowly, and she introduced herself

"I'm Skylar, 16, and I'm not telling you my relationship status."

"I'm Victoria Sanders, 19, and currently dating the best man in the world."

"And I'm Mark, 26, and I'm the best man." He said looking at me.

"Cool, nice to meet you." Jonny said. We just stood there awkwardly for what seemed like an eternity.

"So... you know how to fight?" Mark asked grabbing his shoulder and taking him to the gear room. We just heard mumbling in the distance.

"Hey hey heyyyy!!" I said as I hit her hip with mine.

"What?! It's not like I like him or anything!" Sky was talking very hesitated.

'Yeahhh riiiight...." I said as I left the room. I heard Sky sigh and giggle a little. She was TOTALLY into him.

Anyways, we went back to our rooms, and Marks was busy taking care of Jonny. I watched some TV with Sky while we had breakfast.

Finally, we went to the tower and introduced Jonny to room, 71. He actually did pretty great! Apparently he took wrestling classes in the normal world.

He picked out two guns similar as Mark's. I noticed he kept getting close to Sky, at all times. Anyway, we passed trough 5 rooms and we were all pretty tired.

We've seen all sorts of monsters trough out this adventure. Form Greek mythology, to Nordic mythology. It has been a crazy ride....

I've been thinking about my family a lot. I wonder if time passes faster or slower in the normal world while I'm here. I miss them. I miss my mom, my stupid little brother. My father....

I was in my bedroom with Mark in my bed and, unexpectedly, I started to sob.

"Babe.... What's wrong? You Okay?" Mark asked whispering. He spooned me and hugged me. He kissed the back of my neck, and he said:

"Hey, everything's going to be alright. No matter what bullshit happens in our lives."

I turned around to face Mark and I whispered:

"It's just.... I miss my family" I started to cry and whimper.

"It's okay baby, I miss them too, but we won't be able to see them unless we don't finish this tower. We're doing pretty well and, in no time we'll be in our own worlds again." He is so nice to me. He is honestly the nicest person I've ever met. HE needs to chill in his nice level.

We slept through the night, and when I woke up, and looked through the window, I noticed Jonathan gazing the tower with a white face.

"Hey! Good morning, how do you feel?" I said.

"Terrified."

"Come on, it's going to be alright, there's no need to be scared. We're almost done with the to-"

"No. It's not the tower that I'm terrified about." He answered seriously.

"Then what is it?" I asked,

"My mother has been an alcoholic for as long as I know. My father wanted to take me, but he's been in prison way to many times before. I'm failing school AND my old psycho girlfriend still is trying to kill me literally. We've been apart for 5 years. I just don't want to go back to my world anymore."

I noticed a single tear fall down from his face.

Then, Sky came in and sat beside Jonny.

"If it makes you feel better, my mother abuses me. My dad's dead. My mother is also a mother fucking drunken person. And I dated a teacher once. And I was bullied. A LOT."

Damn. Everyone has some fucked up story behind the smiles and laughs.

"Really? God I'm sorry..." Jonny said.

"It's okay." She said.

"Well then, now that we've shared our fucked up stories, why don't we go have some breakfast and prepare ourselves for battle huh?" I said trying to stop the sad tension between us.

They stood up and we had breakfast. Everyone was quiet. Mark didn't have a clue about what was going on, but he remained silent.

We all went out to the tower after that super awkward moment, and we all did terrible. We were hit, Sky almost died.

God knows what was going on with us. I think it's the pressure that we are only 10 rooms away to finish the tower.
