I must've been making a lot of noise because I heard someone twist on the nob. I saw a person who wore a blue mask. A black void filled the eye sockets of the mask. Maybe it was black mesh? I'm not sure but something about him seemed off and familiar.

Didn't Alexa talk about a murderer with a blue mask? What was the story? Wasn't he a sacrifice in a cult? What was the name? No eye Jim? No it was eyeless... Eyeless something... Eyeless Ja-

He started talking. It startled me since I was in my thoughts.

"Why were you staring at me?" His voice was deep. The kind that gave you chills yet, made the heat rise to your face.

"I-i think I remember you from... Somewhere..." I spoke quietly. So quiet he didn't hear apparently.

"What was that?" He asked.

I didn't speak back. If he couldn't hear my voice the first time, I won't let him have the glory of hearing it at the second time. Though, I shouldn't really be doing it. I'm the one bound and he's the one who can kill me.

"Did I mumble? I said WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" His violent outburst scared me.

"I s-said... 'i th-think I remember you-u from somewhere..'" I stuttered, making sure he could hear me.

He seemed.. confused. He was extremely silent. Too silent. I'm pretty sure he died on the spot. I sat there, looking into the void. I decided to speak up since he wasn't saying anything.

"M-my friend used to tell me these scary stories about murderers, ghosts, demons and what not. I remember a story about a guy who was sacraficed in a cult and got his eyes taken out. They put a blue mask that kinda looks like yours on him. She told me there was different stories about his "origin" but she personally liked that one." I spoke.

He seemed unnerved now. Or maybe it was me who was unnerved. The voidless eye sockets on his mask was one to give you nightmares for weeks. I have no clue why but he left the room without saying anything. The thing is, he didn't close the door.

For some reason I felt vulnerable with the door open. I was on the floor so something might come along and kill me. I shut my eyes to save me from seeing things I don't want. Maybe, if I act like I'm sleeping, no one will kill me! Yeah, that's a great idea!

I felt and heard people entering. It sounded like 3 or 4 people, all with different tones, types and pitches of voices.

"Well she's fast asleep now Jack. I don't think you have any reason to be scared of a girl who was just guessing." It was a voice. Female. More mature than mine.

"Jane she's obviously not fucking asleep, her breathing is fast." Male. Mature. Maybe has anger issues with his tone of voice.

"Shut the fuck up Jeff." The female voice spoke.

"Jesus Christ, I'll just tell Slender before you two are at each other's necks again." The voice, "Eyeless Jack" I presume.

I heard growling and two sets of footsteps run up the stairs. But, I also heard footsteps wander towards me. The chair I was in lifted to be steady on the ground. This caused my eyes to fly open.

My eyes were met with the void. Only now do I notice the black ooze dripping from where the eyes are supposed to be. I wasn't thinking and I did something stupid.

"Can you please keep away from my face?... You stink..." It was true, he did stink. He stunk of death.

Now I both feel bad for saying that to him and I feel like I've done something terribly wrong. He just stayed there for a few seconds until he stepped away and walked out of the room, shutting the door.

"Was I too impolite?" I said automatically.

I will try not to be so out next time. I must remember, I'm the one bound to the chair- my stomach grumbled.

"I'm so hungry..." I said to myself.
