This Game Among Us: Among Us Novelization

Black's POV: Only the Beginning

  Okay, yes I was panicking. Of course I was! Currently, being locked in a room with no working lights, knowing all my friends are dead or psychotic, and the fact that some creepy boss dude wanted to talk to me was freaking me out.

  And I am proud to say that I am usually very level-headed. 

  "Let me out!" I screamed, even though my voice would surely give out after much more of this. "I know you guys are out there! LEMME OUT!"

  No avail. 

  I sighed. Guess I better get comfortable.

  White's POV

  I would have been asleep if Black hadn't been shouting her head off for the past hour or so. I wasn't sure whether to be grateful or not.

  I don't blame her though. That's pretty much the same reaction that I had when Kiel picked me up for the first time.

  I shook my head. Nope nope nope nope nope. No going there. The last thing I needed right now was flashbacks from the Mira HQ.

  I fought off the rising panic and the memories. I already had enough emotional crap cluttering my brain. 

  Sleep tugged at me again. Begging me. Offering release. Lies. Lies. Always a lie. The only thing that sleep brought was pain and nightmares and tears.

  I hated sleeping. I hated my life. I hated myself most of all. 

  Pink would be angry at me for not taking care of myself. I was a complete and absolute wreck. Dirty clothes, lack of sleep, and starving. Until she found out I helped murder basically everyone who used to work in this building. 

  My brain and body warred with each other for a while. 

  Brain: No stupid!!! u want those stupid nightmares to come back! They don't even allow proper rest!

  Body: Meh, don't care. Need sleep.

  Brain: Uh-uh. Stay with me buddy.

  Body: *whines* but whyyyyyyyyyyy?

  Brain: *snaps* cuz I said so!

  Body: Well, if ur gonna b a meanie...

  Brain: Sorry! Sorry! Just don't-

  Body: Fall asleep? Too late.

  Brain: Nuuuuuu! 

  Body: Hey, u owe me. You've been making it really hard to function lately with all your freak outs.

  Brain: *grumbles* don't blame me afterwards.

  Body: ...

  Body: Okay, now I don't know what to do.

  I slumped back against the wall. It was going to be a long day.

  Black's POV

  I jolted awake to the sound of my door clanging open. 

  Lime walked in with a smile. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought it was a normal day. Lime smiled like that all the time before all of this murdering craziness had happened. Had every smile of Lime and White's been a lie? 

  "Rise and shine!" he said.

  "Rise and shine?" I scowled.

  "Well, yeah. You're not dead."

  "I'd rather be."

  "Well, if things don't end up working out, I'm sure that can be arranged! For now though, you have a visitor."
