Escape The Night

Chapter 2.5

I let go of her and wipe off her tears.

I feel so bad for lying, but in a way i know deep down she knows im lying too..

I walk towards the door and open it.

Hallie takes a few steps back. She looks shocked, dissapointed, lost..

"I was just going to check up on you" She assured me with a smile.

She makes me feel safe. But she cant protect me in a house of nightmares.

"Thank you.." I smile back at her.

I get a weird feeling in my stomach. I realize she might have been eavesdropping.

I dont bring it up. More drama is what we dont need right now.

There needs to be a fair way for us to go into the challenges. A way so we dont cause someone to hurt.

A way to not feel guilty.

It hits me. I have an idea.

I gather everyone at the living room and i wait for everyone to sit down. Im not so sure everyone will agree but if it can potentially help, its worth it.

I look at everyome.

Joe seems paranoid.

Christen looks like reality hasnt hit her yet, as if this was a joke.

Bethany looks sad. Which is.. understandable. He did just die after all..

Hallie tries to keep her face neutral. She hides her true feelings. I have to check up with her later.

Aletris looks pissed. Did something happen while i was gone..?

Robert fell asleep. A mix of sadness and pride on his face. The stone still in his hand.

Crystal looks as if she could have a heart attack at any moment. I assume all of this was too real for her.

And i.. cant figure out how i feel. I cant say im happy that he died but.. is it bad i feel good that it wasnt me?

Is it really selfish of me to say that?

I feel relieved.. but sad..

I cant be set on one emotion. That isnt me. And i bet it isnt anyone here either but.. when you cant hold how you truly feel back its presented externally.

I hope they cant read how i feel.

I dont want to die.

A while passes and i have a bad feeling.

Will another person burst in with another challenge?
