Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The first day

Lusts POV
*bzzzt *bzzzzt* *bzzzt*
"Ugh, alright I'm up, I'm up" I groaned as I turned off my alarm on my phone, I got up and looked at myself, I looked so gross. After putting on some makeup, I walked downstairs and into reception, judging by the lights being on, I assumed that Dave was in, so I stepped into the corridor and got to work, I was slightly overwhelmed by the sudden coldness of the corridor but I wouldn't let that stop me, I decided to look around the place before I started cleaning.

This place is actually pretty easy to get lost in, corridor after corridor after corridor, there was a loading bay and an elevator that I assumed was to move heavy stuff to different floors. While I was looking around the second floor, I came across a door, it was separated from the rest of the storage room doors, unlike the red metal doors that all the storage rooms had, this was a plain simple black door with no handle, just a keyhole, I looked through the small window on the door, the room was engulfed in complete darkness, apart from one flashing screen, it looked like someone was in there, it looked like a skeleton, at least I'm not the only skeleton here."why is this room sealed off?" I asked myself out loud, not expecting a response, but I jumped when I heard "it's where the night guard goes during the day, don't go in there"

Third person POV
Lust jumped as he heard Dave's voice, he turned round and saw Dave staring at him.

"Ok, noted. Also why do I need to worry about the night guard?" Lust asked. Dave gave lust a serious look and spoke in a threatening tone, "some things are best left in the dark, but I'll say this, he kills anything he sees, he lures them in with his eye, and then BAM! Dead." there was a worried look on lusts face, he heard his warning loud and clear, "promise me you'll stay out of there" lust gave a shaky nod and Dave walked away, although part of him was curious.

Lusts POV
Okay now I'm worried, but I just shook it off and started cleaning the bathrooms, they were disgusting, but while I was mopping I wondered something, if Dave has a worker who is crazy sadistic and genocidal then why didn't he fire him? Maybe he had nowhere to go, like me, or maybe he couldn't help it, or...what if Dave did something? I carried the, now dirty, mop bucket down the corridor while deep in my thoughts, unfortunately I was unaware of a random person walking the opposite direction, I felt something bump my shoulder and suddenly I was drenched in dirty water, and so was the person who bumped into me. "Eww!Hey!" I shouted at the person who bumped me, "watch it faggot!" I felt tears start to fill up my eyes and I lock myself in the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror, my makeup is ruined, "don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, you've heard worse" I try to calm myself down, but it wasn't working, I heard scenarios from my old job play in my head, "no, no, get out of my head!" I rushed back upstairs to my room and bury my head in the pillow and start to sob quietly, I could hear them talk about me to my boss downstairs.

"What happened to you?"

"That fag fucking drenched me."

"Oh him? Eh don't worry about him, he ain't gonna interfere"

That just made me sob even more. "It was an accident, why did he have to get angry at me?" I said into the pillow. I couldn't stop the tears from escaping my eyes, I cried until I had nothing left, I lifted my head up off the pillow, it was smudged with my makeup and damp from my tears, I tried to reassure myself "it's fine, it's okay lust, it was an accident" I said to myself repeatedly, that seemed to calm me down a little, I walked back downstairs and was greeted by the person I accidentally soaked.

"Um...h-hi" I said timidly he responded with "hey" in an annoyed tone, he continued to speak "look I just wanna apologise for my choice of words earlier, I got upset and angry and I took it out on you, so I'm sorry."

Third person POV

The man walked off, leaving lust frozen in place, his jaw went limp, "nobody's ever apologised to me before" he said quietly to himself, a small smile started to creep up on lusts face as he got back to work, continuing where he left off.

*later on*

"C'mon liam hurry up! I don't want to have to lock you in here with the night guard!" Dave yelled down the corridor, there was a faint sound of heels running down the corridor mixed with panting, as it got louder lust spoke."Sorry boss, I-I'm coming! I just got a bit lost hehe" lust said as he entered reception and leaned on the wall to hold himself up. "Alright, see you tomorrow...wait hang on" Dave pulled an envelope out from his pocket and gave it to lust, "...W-what's this?" Lust said with purple stars in his eyes, "it's your money for the day" Dave said as he walked out the front door, "see ya" he said as it locked. Lust sprinted up the stairs and went to bed slightly happier than usual.

During the night lust was woken up by a strange noise, he gets up and walks to the door into the corridor, he presses his ear (?) up against the door, he heard the strange noise again, it almost sounded like screaming, lust was hesitant at first but he put his hand on the door handle, took a deep breath and walked out into the corridor.

Lusts POV
I stepped completely out the door and into the corridor, it was in complete darkness, my breathing started to get shaky, as I looked down the corridor I saw something in the distance, it looked like a person, suddenly they turned round and I was engulfed in a blinding red light, I tried to move but my body froze up, I backed up against the wall, my breathing sped up as the mysterious figure slowly walked closer to me.

??? POV
As I walked around on the first floor looking for something to do, because Dave doesn't like it when I walk in on his business, I hear something moving far behind me, I heard...heels? None of the employees wear heels, so I assumed it was an intruder, I turned around and blinded them with my red eye light, but weirdly they don't seem to be moving towards it like people normally do, I decide to walk closer to them, but as I got closer I looked at what he was wearing, I couldn't see his face because he was cowering in fear, "hi, I'm-" I stopped myself after I saw the jacket and crop top he was wearing , then I realised who that person was, he was the cleaner, after I realised I quickly ran off fearing for my life, after what Dave told me about him I promised myself that I would never cross paths with him.

Lusts POV

As he walked towards me I looked at his face, I couldn't see much, but one thing caught my eye, the hole in his head, I quickly connected the dots and realised who that person was, he was the night guard, after realising I screwed my eyes shut and held my hands in front of my face, I heard him say something but I couldn't hear him over my whimpering. But when I slowly opened my eyes again I was no longer engulfed in the red light, and the night guard was gone, "what the fuck" I whispered quietly to myself as I ran inside my room, went back to bed and cowered in fear. After that experience and what Dave told me about him I promised myself that I would never cross paths with him.
