Aftershock, Part Six

As Makoto ran, she could feel the walls closing in on her. She could see rows of bland, creepy faces being formed out of them.

Makoto closed her eyes. "It's not real, it's not real, it's not real…!"

"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

There was another scream.

Makoto fell to her hands and knees. A new face formed in the floor. It opened its mouth abnormally wide to reveal Kyoda's face peering out of the darkness.

"Kyoda…? Kyoda!" Makoto reached into the face's mouth. She was then pulled in entirely.

As Makoto fell into a bottomless pit, she desperately looked for her friend's face. However, she only found more of the generic, creepy faces. They chattered nonsense into her head repeatedly, quickly driving her crazy.

Makoto jolted up. "It's not real!!" She gasped for air, taking large breaths.

"Hey. How did you get in here? I thought Dara was standing watch?"
