Inside Little Nightmares

Chapter 4

(Six's POV)

I quickly swam up for a breather. When I surfaced, I saw Miles. And I felt a lot of rain.

"You ok?" I asked.

"I'm ok," Miles replied. In the distance, I saw a some men with overlooking the pond. "Be careful. We're gonna submerge and try not to blow any bubbles." I nodded as we submerged.

After a few seconds underwater, we came up and ventured to the land. But near the land and the water, there were dead pigs. And it wasn't a pretty sight.

After getting out of the water, I saw fog all around us. We also felt the rain on us. It was somewhat unsettling but also very beautiful and mysterious. We ignored the dead pigs and walked down the street and into a cornfield. 

Miles held my hand as we walked through the cornfield. The cornstalks looked pretty tall, but at least nobody was trying to chase us.

"This is a nice farm," I sighed. "Hopefully a cannibal with a chainsaw doesn't come after us." We kept walking and we looked at some more dead pigs. Don't ask us why. "Gross." Then, some chicks surrounded us, but they didn't look harmful.

"Chick magnets," Miles shrugged. I chuckled. We saw a rope over us and we climbed it. We swung ourselves in the barn and opened the door. The chicks came to us.

In the barn, we saw a really weird machine and some hay on a plank that was high above us. Near us was a machine. It looked like we needed it, so we pulled the rope attached to it a few times. 

"It turned on," Miles wondered, "but how come it's not functioning?"

"We must've not turned the lever," I replied. I walked over to the machine and turned the lever. That made the machine operable. We then lured the chicks into the machine. It caused the chicks to be flown at the hay, but they didn't look hurt. The hay eventually came down and I moved it to a wall. "It sucks that the chicks can't come with us."

"They'd slow us down," Miles sighed. "Besides, the chicks are safer here than out there."

"Bye guys," I smiled sadly.

"Goodbye," Miles smiled sadly. We climbed up the hay and climbed up to the roof. It was still raining out there. When we made it to the edge of the roof, we saw a cart of dead pigs. "We're gonna have to jump into the cart."

"Oh man," I sighed angrily as we plunged in the cart. "Oh Lord." We climbed out from the cart and kept advancing. But it turned we needed to push the cart to keep going. We pushed the cart, got up on it and we kept going.

We treaded in some water that reached up to our waists. We got out and climbed a fence. We dropped down from the fence and came across another farm.

Suddenly, a loud screech came from one of the pigs. I would've been knocked to the ground if Miles hadn't pushed me out of the way. 

He was on the ground, but he was able to quickly stand up. Together, we lured the pig to bash itself in the barn. We kept trying to find out a way to get the pig to stop trying to get kill us.

"The pig was a worm inside it!" I shouted. "I'll knock the pig into the wall!" I turned to the pig. "Over here!" The pig turned around and once it got close to me, I jumped over it and it hit into the wall.

I turned around and took the worm out of the pig. The pig didn't attack us anymore and quietly lied down.

I ran to Miles.

"Don't try something like that again!" Miles scolded and hugged me. "You could've been hurt!"

"Ok," I replied. "But why are so protective of me? I can handle myself."

"Listen," Miles sighed. "Anyone I've known could be mind controlled or dead. You're the only person that I know is alive and well. I cannot have anything happen to you."

"I'll be more careful," I replied.

"Thank you," he sighed as he hugged me. Above us was a really weird helmet. "Let's see what that helmet does."
