It's been about a day since I've eaten anything.
And I swear I heard the raspy breathing again.
It's driving me nuts, I can't sleep because
1. The breathing is so loud
2. The instructions said not to
"So anyway- Shut up Norbert! I'm still recording!"
So anyway, I wasn't sure if I should risk leaving my room and calling the Pizza Hut that was a block away.
Turns out that this address doesn't even exist.
And honestly, I was really looking forward to stuffed-crust pizza, so that was disappointing.
Then I heard the vents rattle.
It was 1:30 in the afternoon.
My heart almost leaped out of my chest when the vent cover came off.
All that I could imagine in my head was this weird creature that looked like a cat and a hedgehog had kids with the glowing white eyes.
What I wasn't expecting was to see a scrawny boy with curly red hair to fall down onto my bed.
I stared at him, and I watched as he pulled some glasses out of his pocket and put them on. He was muttering the whole time, talking about how the full moon was coming.
I barely even shifted my weight when the floorboard creaked and the boy's head whipped around to look at me.
"Thank the gods! Are you a survivor too?" In a flash he was off the bed with his hand out to shake. Shyly and nervously, I shook his hand.
"I'm Norbert, nice to-" he turned away and he started coughing. I saw him pull out a puffer and he took a quick dosage.
Asthma = Raspy, annoying breathing.
Oh my gods he was the one in the vent.
Was he watching me sleep?! Why in the name of Hades was he watching me sleep?!
"On- I know you didn't mean to keep me up, and I know you were just trying to warn me, we've talked about this!"
On the thought of knowing that he caused me multiple sleepless nights, I backed away slightly peeved.
"What the Hades man! I've lost sleep because of you!"
I was that person that loved sleeping.
And I mean loved sleeping.
So I was pretty upset.
Probably overreacted but whatever.
"Sorry... I was planning on warning you... but every time that stupid hellhound would try to eat my foot."
"How were your eyes glowing?" I asked, slightly suspicious. What if he was just one of the house's many horrors and he turned into an evil creature out for my blood?
"They're my goggles. They emit a small orb of light so I don't attract too much attention." He pushed his glasses up his nose as he talked. He suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out a protein bar, before handing it to me.
"You must be starving, you haven't entered the kitchen once." I took the bar, and unwrapped it, surprised to see that it was actually a protein bar instead of some horror.
~(^-^~) After eating the protein bar (~^-^)~
After I scarfed down the bar, Norbert looked at me.
"You never told me your name." He said. I looked at him from where I was sitting on my bed.
"I'm Lia." A sudden question came to me. "Do you know about the voice?"
Norbert gave me a confused look before understanding shone in his hazel eyes.
"You mean Jonathan Farrendell? He was the owner of this house before he died from a burglar attacking him. For some reason instead of actually dying, his body just died while he still lived. He's just a walking corpse now. I'm not sure how he got the hellhound, probably summoned it." Norbert's voice died near the end so he cleared his throat. "Now whoever enters this house will be cursed to be trapped here until Jonathan's body turns to dust."
"How long have you been here?" I asked.
"I've been stuck here for about three years now."
I wanted to believe him, I really did, but why did I feel like he was lying?
A/N
Hewo again!
It's @ShadowWriterBooks!
I am alive!
I didn't die, I just struggled to come up with an idea for this chapter
I did it though!
Are you proud faithful readers? Q^Q
Are you proud that I managed to give you this meh chapter?
I'm already loving Norbert and he's barely existed for two days (it took me possibly longer just to come up with this chapter)
Anyway, I'mma stop typing now
