Blue Fire | Stickman story

Chapter 8

Сhain is awake. He lazily opened one eye and looked at the wall clock. 11:53 pm. A rabbit slept sweetly beside his cheek. He got up carefully from the sofa so as not to wake the rabbit and went to the exit. He knows what to do today and it will be fun.

Everyone was asleep except for Purple. He couldn't sleep because of a strange sensation in his soul. Purple was allowed to stay the night and something inside him said that it was better not to sleep tonight, because something was going to happen. He didn't know anything would happen to anyone, not why, not where, not even approximately. He looked at the digital clock. 11:55 pm. He yawned and stood up. Then he remembered what he wanted to do. The tiredness vanished immediately.

Purple left the room and closed the door as quietly as possible. He walked slowly down the stairs and saw that Chain wasn't on the sofa.

"And where did you go?" Purple asked quietly.

Purple looked around and thought that Chain might not be at home, so he went to the exit. He slowly opened the door and left. Purple jumped off the folder and immediately hid. Chain was here. Chain walked around the clock and looked at the floor.

"What is it this time?" thought Purple.

Chain has stopped. He put his hand to the glass and looked at Alan's room. He looked at the table, then at the window and door. He looked at the room on the other side of the screen for about 3 minutes.

Purple imperceptibly began to come closer, as quietly as possible. Step by step, he came closer and closer to him, unforgetting to hide. Chain didn't seem to notice him. Purple came close enough to hear his mumble. But alas, he spoke something in a different language. In his speech there were some words similar to English, but they were so unclear that Purple didn't even begin to guess.

Chain dropped his hand. There was a crackle of ice and a dark blue aura appeared around Chain. This shadow increased and immediately disappeared, as did Chain itself. It all happened very quickly. A second later, a shadow appeared on the table and Chain, with an absolutely calm look, walked a little along the wooden surface.

Purple nearly fell from shock. He expected everything but this. Maybe this is a dream? In a dream, these things usually happen. Wait! Why did Chain decide to appear in Alan's room? Purple hoped that he just decided to look around and that he wasn't plotting anything evil. He wanted to tell this to his friends, but how? Maybe friends will believe that Chain has abilities, but from the evidence he only has his description of what happened.

While Purple was thinking, Chain was already at the edge of the table and he was looking in different directions. Then he was swallowed by a shadow and completely disappeared from Purpur's field of vision.

"Where has he disappeared?!" suddenly shouted Purple.

Fortunately or unfortunately, he couldn't follow Chain, because he has no ability. Purple sighed sadly at that thought and walked across the main screen. Tonight he is unlikely to fall asleep from what he saw, so he decided to think on what this Russian is hiding. He had few thoughts, but they were all disturbing.

"What did he forget there?" Purple asked out loud.

"Purple? Who are you talking about?" asked Red, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Have you seen where Chain has gone?"

"No... Where is he?"

"He..." Purple tried to find the right words. "He teleported to that table," Purple pointed to the wooden surface. "And then he disappeared somewhere."

Red blinked a couple of times and asked a logical question: "Why are you here? Did you follow him?" Red gazed into Purpur's eyes.

"Well, I..." drops of sweat ran over Purple. "I saw that he went somewhere and I decided to check-"

"Purple, you're lying. You didn't want to check him! Where is Chain?!" Red shouted at him.

"I already told you! He teleported to that table and left in an unknown direction!"

"If that's true, then tell me, why did you follow him?"

"I wanted to make sure he wasn't preparing a trap or anything like that!"

"The fact that we met him nowhere means that he can betray us? It's just a coincidence and nothing more!"

Purple looked like he was about to kill Red for saying that. Yes, Red might be right, but Purple wanted to make sure that Chain was clear. Red turned and walked back home, leaving Purple alone. He looked at Alan's room, but Chain wasn't there.

Red went into his room and closed the door. The door closed loudly, even though he tried to close it quietly. He didn't understand why Purple was acting this way. Maybe he really saw something that cannot be seen? No, he's hiding something. What if he is at one with the Second? Why do they pay attention to Chain so often? Red could not get all these thoughts out of his head, on the contrary, similar thoughts became more and more and they didn't leave Red alone.

POV Chain

I teleported from this computer to the table. So where will I go? I have completely forgotten what I said to myself, so we think again. I teleported to the cold floor of the room.

Oh yes, I saw you Purple. Do you really suspect me of something? Why didn't you just sleep, but decided to spy on me? Even when the computer is turned off and I can't see anything through the black screen, I can feel you looking at me. What do you want to see my friend? You've seen enough already. Now forgive me, I have to leave. I promise I won't do anything, just walk around your animator's house.
