Take a Peek

Peek 03

Since I don't know if it really was a ladder, I went back to my room to get my flashlight.

After rummaging my closet, I found the flashlight inside my first-aid kit. Testing if it is still working, I tried lighting it towards the wall clock above my bedroom door.

"10:32 pm. I think being back by 11:00 would be good." I whispered to myself as I turned off the flashlight and crawl back to the other side of the small door.

Our matches usually start at 8:30 am until 7:00 pm at night. It might be long but we got used to it and it's sometimes fun to make funny faces at survivors in the mirror world.

But I can't do that if my camera is broken.

With that in mind, I turned on the flashlight and pointed it at the thing I tripped over earlier.

"So it is a ladder." I mumbled to myself as I picked it up and placed it on the wall.

Guessing that it reaches the ceiling, I pointed the flashlight above and check if there's a hole somewhere.

And I was not mistaken. I found the spot above, near my mini door. I then moved the ladder and placed it to where the hole was.

"Is this an attic?" I asked myself as I tried climbing the ladder. Guessing that it can support my weight, I continued climbing up until my whole body has passed through.

I was right. It is an attic. The area is not big but I can use this as my secret storage area.

Wait, I'm not here to put things. I went to the left side and check if there's a hole for the survivors side.

While checking, I noticed another small door on the farthest left. I decided to open it and use my flashlight to see what's on the other side.

While flashing, I can see that the area is so narrow that crawling is the only option I can find.

What is this door for? I don't think it's for ventilation. I mean, I'm already here, I might as well venture further.

I don't know if I should be happy with my small frame because when I started crawling inside, I can feel that it is made for myself.

I saw small spots of lights as I crawled further and seeing these lights, I turned off my flashlight and peeked at what these lights are.

Starting with the nearest on my right, I closed my left eye and peek at the small hole as big as my palm.

On the other side is a bedroom with brown wallpaper. There's a bed, a drawer and a dressing table. I can also see an owl parched on a bird stand.

Is this the seer's bedroom?

Moving my head away, I checked the other light on my left and checked what on the other side.

Still a bedroom but with green wallpaper. I can see a light green curtain covering the window and beside the bed is a dressing table. What shocked me though is beside the dressing table is a scarecrow made of hay.

Why is there a scarecrow inside?

"Mr. Scarecrow, it's time I change your hat." A voice said after I heard a door open.

"You want mine? I'm happy to give it to you." The girl cheerfully said as she removed her straw hat and replaced the one above the scarecrow.

Seeing her figure and from what I have heard, this should be Emma Woods, the gardener who is obssessed with her scarecrow.

Shocked by my discovery, I decided to proceed and think where the mechanic is residing.

I peeked here and there looking but I am still unable to find the mechanic's room. I have found the forward playing with his baseball, the magician pulling a rabbit from his hat, the wildling feeding his boar, the barmaid drinking alcohol and the mind's eye inside her room... uhmm.. dancing. How many survivors are there again?

Nearing the end, I decided to peek one last time before going back and get ready for tomorrow. I can always come back here anyways.

Trying my luck, I decided to peek one last time at the light on my right.
