Chapter 25

You feel your feel hit the hard linoleum floor as you feel your lungs on fire. Hearing the screams of your teammates echo along the never ending halls, you feel your heart begin to sink. You hear the beeping of your trap ring in your ears, as you hear a set of footsteps following you. Throwing down a pallet, you hope that through some streak of luck, you can find the hatch. You then feel the cold metal of a blade strike the back of your skin, as you whimper in pain. You fall through a hole, dropping to the bottom floor. Hearing the footsteps still on the top floor, you decide to slowly walk into a locker to see if you can get away. Then you see her. You see Amanda walk by your locker as you hold your hand to your mouth, to muffle any breathing or whimpering you may make. After a few moments, your trap beeps louder and begins to flash red. Your walk put of a locker to be met with a stab in the stomach. Dropping to the floor, you find yourself looking up into Amanda's eyes. She looks at your trap.

"Only 9 seconds left." She says grimly.

She holds a blade to your throat.

"Hello little one. Wake up!" She says cheerfully.

Confused, you try to talk, bit your words dont seem to come out. You then feel a hand on your shoulder.

You look up to see Sally looking down at you, lightly shaking you. You look back to find yourself in your room. Sally then tilts her head, almost confused.

"What's wrong?" She asks concerned.

"Must've been a nightmare I guess." You respond.

"Was it Freddy?" Sally asks, slightly amused.

"Who's Freddy?" You ask back.

"Dont worry. You will meet him eventually." She says.

You lift yourself out of bed, as Sally puts your medkit on your nightstand. You reach into your pocket and place your key onto the nightstand, next to your medkit.

"You found a skeleton key?" Sally asks, slightly intrigued.

"Yeah. It opens the hatch right?" You respond.

"That key will break afterwards, but yeah. Your right." She says.

You wrap your arms around Sally, giving her a quick hug, as she returns it happily.

"Are you gonna be alright for this trial? Amanda seems to make you a little uncomfortable." Sally asks kindly.

"Well, if I'm not, I will have to be. So, i guess I am." You respond.

"Just make sure to prioritize taking off any trap, over anything else. If your trap is activated, then you have to take it off before leaving. Keep your eyes open, and stay away from groups. As long as you do that, you have a decent chance of survival." Sally explains, as she releases you from the hug. You let go, and strech your legs.

"You have around 5 minutes left." Sally says.

"Do you have a shower here?" You ask, hoping to get clean before the trial.

"Of course. Take a left, three doors down." Sally instructs. You take your medkit, and ask the entity for a favor.

"Entity. Are you here?" You ask.

"Always." It responds, as Sally looks over to you.

"What would you want for a spare set of clothes?" You ask. Sally nods her head, realizing who your talking to.

"Your kinda entertaining. I'll give them to you for free. When your out of the shower, they will be on the ground, next to the shower." The entity responds. Sally hands you a white towel, as you make your way for a quick shower. Opening the door to the shower, you undress and turn the water on, feeling the refreshing cold liquid wash over your skin. Looking over to the side of the shower, you see a small bar of soap, and shampoo. As you clean yourself quickly, you begin thinking over what Sally said.
