sparkstream - DAY 3 & NIGHT 4

45 3 18
                                    

I crouched down on the ground, massaging my temples.

This was Day 3....

In pattern terms, I should've "lost" last night...but I didn't.

I...survived.

...

I groaned slightly.

All of these...events were messing with my head.

I felt disoriented....

I jumped slightly when Caleb's bedroom door opened.  In walked Becca's dad with Caleb in his arms, wrapped up in a blanket.

"He'll be out for a little while, but he should be ok by tonight...."  Her dad said quietly.  I noticed Becca following behind him, looking worriedly at Caleb before looking down on me.  "...You...You ok...?"  She asked quietly.

I glared at her.  "Why...would you care?"

She rolled her eyes as her dad left the room.  "Come here."  She slightly ordered, slightly asked as she left the room.

I was, or course, extremely suspicious, but so far, they hadn't done anything to harm me during the day.

With noticeable shakiness, I stood and quietly left the room, closing the door.

I looked around for a moment before I saw Becca sitting on her bed.  She beckoned to me to sit on the bed.  I did, though not within arm's reach of her.

She gave a heavy sigh.  "Look, I care about your health because I want you to be at your best when night comes.  It's no fun when you're weakened mentally or physically."

"Of course.  It's always about the game."  I sighed.

Something flashed in her eyes for barely a moment, though it wasn't some kind of visible change.

I think...it was hurt.  She was slightly hurt by my reply.  So there is still some kind of...emotion in her.

She shrugged.  "That kinda is why you all are here."

I shook my head, standing up.  "Becca, I don't know what happened, but...this really isn't you.  You don't take joy in other people's fear."

She watched me for a moment before smirking evilly, her eyes flashing to that creepy black-eye-white-pupil thing.  Needless to say, it startled me a little.

She chuckled as her eyes returned to normal.  "Well, I enjoyed that~"

I growled lightly under my breath and exited the room, heading to her computer to plug in the phone.

I was going to search the house a bit for clues.


NIGHT 4

Ugh...I found nothing and it's already 11:55 PM!

I huffed and unplugged the phone from the computer whilst avoiding eye contact with Becca.

"Good luck~"

I glared at her before walking towards Becca's room.

It's been...enough nights, right?  Besides, I...didn't really feel like I'd be able to keep track in the other rooms....

I shut the door and sat against it with a sigh.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

12 AM.  100% battery.

Becca's creepy laughter filled the house as the lights flickered out.  Somehow, though, there seemed to be a dim light coming from somewhere that allowed me to see decently around the room.
