Troublesome (Raid Fanfic)

Chapter 6

Alex's point of view*
I crawled out of bed as my alarm began to scream at me to start the day. "Fuck I hate my job..." I said and started my daily routine. I grabbed my black suit case and threw it into the passenger seat beside me and began my way to work. "Come on damnit I'm going to be late!" I yelled as this slow ass person in front of me kept break checking me. I finally passed the old geezer and pulled in front of him, but then I got passed up by another car. "You dumbshit." I said getting pissed. Suddenly the cars hood blew open and smoke and flames shot out of it. The car violently swerved back and forth and then turn sharply right, cutting me off, and into the field. The only that stopped it was a tree causing the whole car to explode into pieces. "W-what the hell...." My eyes were wide open as if I was expecting to wake up from a dark dream. Did that seriously happen?! This also happened in Craig's game... but Craig couldn't have caused that, it was just a coincidence that's all.

I arrived at work a bit late due to the wreck and I cleared my mind. The first thing I want to do today is have a talk with Craig and what the hell this game is about. "Excuse me Mr. Alex but what took so long for you to arrive?" Our secretary asked me, but I forgot her name. She's only good for her looks so why would I need to know it. "Uhm.. There was a wreck on the main highway and I was late passing through it." I answered while walking towards my office and she followed. "Oh and could you tell Craig to visit me in my office." I told her and opened the door of my office. "That was another thing I wanted to inform you, Craig isn't here. He didn't show up this morning and I even called his phone, there was no answer." She replied with a pathetic smile. "Right." I said and then shut the door on her. Does he seriously think he can just skip work when ever he wants, he thinks he can do anything now just because he talked to me in that manner the other day. How pathetic...

I turned my computer on only to see the game was still opened and the spine chilling music began to play. This shit? I thought I closed this window last night before I left. I clicked onto load game and it started from which I left off. It started in the main lobby, but all the lights were off and there was police tape on the front doors. "What the hell..." I whispered to myself. I walked down the hall to the secretary's office where blood was smeared on the wall, spelling words that dripped and ran down the paint. 'Only for looks' It read. I looked up and seen the secretary hanging from the lights with a rope tied around her neck. My hands began to shake as I wondered farther into the game. I came to the animators office where every computer had red screens that said 'Eat Shit' and played static noises. "Mr. Alex?" Someone called as they opened the door. I quickly shut off my computer. "Y-yes?" My voice squeaked out. "A-are you busy with something?" Brian asked me as he seen me awkwardly sit there with stiff shoulders and pale skin. "No I was just reviewing a game someone had sent me. Did you want to talk to me about something?" I asked him and my voice was quick, but smooth. "Yes actually, the secretary wanted me to tell you she'll be staying late tonight since she has a lot of work to finish." He informed me. "N-no!" I yelled out of accident. "No?" Brian questioned. "W-what I mean is no she won't need to stay, I'll help her finish the work so she can go home at regular time." I had plans tonight actually, but I guess I just canceled them... "Oh okay... I'll go tell her." Brian said and slowly shut the door. I sat back down. "Why am I so worried, the game can't predict the outcomes of life. What happened this morning happened by chance. Craig can't predict the future with his game..." I got up once more and headed out to help the Secretary.

-Later that night.

"Thank you again Mr. Alex for helping me." She said to me with a nice smile. "Don't worry about it, I had to make sure everything was going smooth with the game anyways, I thought I might as well help you while I stayed." I replied back. I grabbed my bag from the table and started walking towards the door. "Are you coming?" I asked. "Oh shoot, I forgot my things go ahead without me I'll make sure the door is shut when I leave." She said and walked back to her desk. "A-alight." I said hesitating to let her stay. Its not gonna happen, its not gonna happen. I thought over and over again. I locked the door and shut it on my way out, so when she leaves the door while shut and stay shut. I walked over to my car and started it up. Maybe I should wait for her to at least walk out.

I sat in the car for a couple of minutes and then seen her come out the door and shut it hard behind her. I left out a sigh of relief and pulled out of the parking lot and honked good bye.

It was strange Alex helped me with my papers today. I wasn't really expecting it. I took out my keys and unlocked the door when suddenly a pair of big hands grabbed me from behind.

I woke up in a dark place and I realized I was in the building. "W-what?" I questioned. My neck was tied to a rope and the rope only went up. "Hello sleeping beauty." I heard a familiar voice say. "C-craig?" I questioned as my eyes adjusted t the dark of the room. "Yes mama." He replied. "What is this?! What are you doing?!!" I asked as I seen him approach me with a knife and my heart sunk. "Its just work sweet heart don't worry about it." He forcefully grabbed my hands and slit my wrists and I winced in pain. "Don't worry cutie it'll be over soon." He said. His voice sounded different, it was calm and really deep. He wore a dark hoodie with his hood up so it made it heard for me to see his eyes and face. "Craig please don't do this!" I pleaded and began to sob. "I have to darling. I told you its for work." He replied as he grabbed a bucket that was filled with something. He had a brush in his hands and began to paint on the wall. 'Only for looks' it said and I realized it wasn't paint.. It was blood. My eyes were as wide as they could get, my heart was pumping as fast as it could, and my wrist burned as more blood began to poor out. "Why... why must you do this to me?" I asked trying to stall him. He walked over to me with the bucket and his knife. He grabbed my face as I scream and he began to carve on my cheeks. "Because I'm psycho and I like killing people.. Duhh." He answer and I could see his eyes. The were tinted red and seemed to glow in the dark, as I stared at them it felt like I was in a trance and then I seen his smile. The curves of his mouth went all the way up to his cheek bones and his teeth went from ear to ear of the smile and were as Sharpe as a snakes fang. "P-please don't k-kill me.." I sobbed. "How do I say this... No." He painted my hands with the blood from the bucket and I began to uncontrollably sob knowing my fait of tonight. "Alright, I think that's everything... Any last words?" He asked, but I kept crying as a pool of blood formed around me. He held a string in his hand and pulled it, it lead to giant rock that was sitting on the top balcony. The rock came flying down as he pulled it and I went flying up. My throat closed off and I could get less and less oxygen in, the last thing I could remember was the smile he had on his face as I blacked out.

I honestly thought she would fight longer than that, but oh well. I took the string and placed  it in the pool of blood under her to make it seem like she dropped it after she had pulled the string to commit suicide. I grabbed my things and that I had brought with me and walked out the front door. it was nearly 2 am and the air was chilling. "Its a lovely night out." I thought to myself and got into my car and went home to attend some unfinished business there.
