"We should go buy some snacks." I say.
"Yeah why not." Robin says.

We walk out.

"I know this shortcut." He says.
"Alright." I say.

We turn and there's no one around.
"It's so empty." I say.
"I like that about it here." He says.

I look up and notice a black van.
"Robin." I say scared.
"Yeah, you okay?" He asks worried.
"It's a black van." I say.
"Shit." He says taking my hand. "Let's go."

We turn around and start to walk back.

We hear the van start to drive.
"Fuck." I mutter.

It starts getting close.
"Run!" Robin says. We start running not letting go of eachother.

The van speeds up and turns infront of us.

We stop slowly backing up.

The van pulls up next to us.

There's no where to go. Robin squeezes my hand before letting it go to put it in a fist. I do the same.

The man walks out and up to us.
"Hey." He says.
"What?" Robin asks.
"I was just wondering if you guys had seen a dog running around?"
"Nope, we'll keep an eye out." I say trying to walk away.
"You don't even know what she looks like." He says.
"We don't care." Robin says.

I look at the van and see what look like black balloons.
"Are those balloons?" I ask.
"Yes I'm a magician." He says. "You want to see a trick?"
"No thanks, we have to get home." I say.
"Please just one." He says.

We don't respond. He opens the van door and the balloons come at us. I can't see.
"Robin!" I yell. I can hear him start hitting. The Grabber is yelling. He grabs me. I scream and punch him in the face. He grunts and throws me against the door. I yell in pain. He grabs me again and sprays my mouth.

"Are those balloons?" Y/n asks.
"Yes I'm a magician." He says. "You want to see a trick?" I tighten my fist.
"No thanks we have to get home." She says.
"Please just one." He says.

We don't respond. He opens the van door and the balloons come at us.
"Robin!" Y/n yells. I can't see her. I feel The Grabber by me. I start to punch him. He's yelling. I lose him. Y/n yells and I can hear her get thrown. I push the balloons out of the way.

She is inside the van unconscious.
"Fuck you hijo de puta." I say punching him in the face. He yells before hitting me in the head with something. Everything goes black.

I open my eyes I'm on a bed. I sit up. I don't see Y/n.
"I'll bring her in just a moment." The Grabber says.
"I'm going to kill you." I say.
"Then you'll never see her."

He's realizing she's my weakness. I don't care as long as she's okay.

I start yelling trying to open the door.

I see a phone and run to it. I try calling anyone. The phone line is broken.

I sit down and wait.

After a bit he opens the door and he's carrying an unconscious Y/n. He basically throws her on the bed and I move to check if she's alive.

She has a pulse. I sigh.

The door closes and I realize he left.

I lift her head and move it to my lap.

"Robin?" She asks barely opening her eyes.
"Hey. It's okay, I got you." I say.
"My eyes they hurt." She says closing them.
"Did he spray you?" She nods. "That's why."


———— Y/n's pov
I sit back up. My vision had come back but my eyes still hurt.

"What the hell are we going to do?" I ask.
"We'll get out. I'll kill that puto myself if I have to." Robin says.

The lights turn on and I hear a click. Robin stands up standing infront of me.

The Grabber walks in. He has a weird mask on. I move to sit next to where Robin is standing.

"I know you're scared but I'm not going to hurt you anymore." He says.
"Sit down boy." He says to Robin. He just stares at him. I grab his arm and nudge it. He looks at me before sitting down.

"And you two did a number on me. Don't worry I'm not going to hold it against you. I guess now we're even." He says walking over to me. He moves the hair out of my face.

"Don't fucking touch her." Robin says. The Grabber finishes tucking my hair behind my ears before backing away.
"You don't have to be scared because nothing bad is going to happen here." He says.
"Please let us go home." I beg.
"Do you like soda?" He asks ignoring me.

I can feel my eyes tear up. Robin takes my hand.

The phone upstairs rings.
"I'll go see who it is and get you two a soda, then I'll come back and explain everything." He says.

He leaves and I feel my body shake as I cry.

"It's okay. We're okay." Robin says taking me in his arms.
"I want to go home." I cry. "I'm scared."
"I know I know. So am I." He says.

After a bit I pull away from him.
"I'm sorry this happened." I say.
"It's not your fault." He says squeezing my hand.

I look around the room. I see the phone.
"The phone?" I ask.
"The lines broken." He says.
"Shit." I mutter leaning back on the bed.

He leans back next to me. I turn to face him, he does the same.

He's missing his bandanna. He has small bruises and cuts on his face.

"You're hurt." I whisper.
"Yeah guess he got a hit or two in." He says laughing. I smile.
"Did your bandanna fall?" I ask.
"Yeah." He says moving his hair.

We sit there for a bit. I hear the phone ring.

I sit up quickly and stand up.

"What?" Robin asks.
"The phone's ringing." I say.
"No?" He says confused.
"Yes it is." I say.

I pick up the phone.
"Hello?" I ask.

"It doesn't work not since I was a kid, hang it up." He says. I keep the phone in my hand. He turns the light on.
"I know you're scared and you want to go home. I'll take you home soon it's just that, everything's all fucked up. I have to be upstairs for a while, somethings come up." He says.
"What?"
"Never mind what."
"Did someone see something?" Robin asks.
"Are the police coming? Let us go before they get here and I promise we won't tell." I say begging. He laughs.
"It's not the police." He says.
"Someone though?" I ask wanting anything.
"Someone's coming? We'll scream and if someone's upstairs they'll hear us." Robin says.
"No he won't. Not with the door shut."
"He?"

"With the door shut no one can hear anything down here. I soundproofed it myself. So shout if you want you won't bother anyone." He says turning to leave.
"You're the one who killed the others." I say.
"Bruce, Vance, Billy, Griffin." Robin says.
"That wasn't me that was someone else. I will never make you do anything you won't.. like." Robin clenches his fists.

"If you try to touch me I'll scratch your face, and whoever's coming will see and ask why." I say.
"This face?" He asks. I look over at Robin scared.
"Hang up the phone now." He says in a stern voice. I do.

"I was down here once when it rang. Ooh creepiest damn thing. I think it's static electricity that does it." He says before leaving.
"He hears it too." I whisper.
"That doesn't make sense." Robin says.

"Do we yell?" I ask.
"It's worth a shot."

We yell and kick the door but it doesn't do anything.

We lay on the bed unsure of what to do.

The phone rings.
"Do you hear it?" I ask.
"The phone?" He asks. I nod. "No."

I get up and answer it.
"Hello?" There's no response. "Hello?" No one responds. I hang up.
