Level One : Chapter 6

"A bit too laid back , aren't you?" A voice came from behind , startling the three of us. It was John. I guess he was finally ready to talk to us. 

"We heard that you were the one who led the group and defeated the beast." Sam spoke to him. He nodded. "What we completed was level zero. Rather than talking about what's happened , why don't we talk about what's going to come?" He was a little arrogant , as usual. Nothing has changed much about him. " You expect us to find what's going to happen without even talking about what's happened so far? This isn't your office John." It didn't hit a nerve, but I definitely noticed a scorn on his face. It was obvious that none of us liked him , and the same way around , but he survived this long , just like us. We were stuck with each other , as of now. 

John took a deep sigh. " All of us had his when that thing began attacking everyone and going on a rampage. I found the others who were hiding , just like me and found some bats , out of the blue. It was weird , but we had no other choice but to use it. We forced the bats into that thing's mouth . It died choking for air. I went to it to take the bats back , in case there were more of them , when I noticed it had something like a collar. I read out the name and a voice out of nowhere started telling us we got 100 points , we passed the level , and about food and shelter. "

"That was it?" I couldn't help but ask because if that was all , why would they try to attack us when we came to the manor? It was pretty apparent that they knew we weren't beasts. "No. Someone else came. We welcomed him thinking he was another survivor , just like us.....when he started talking gibberish to us . Something like the day was repeating all over again ,and that he knew it was gonna happen . He also told us that he died and came back twice... which was absurd so we knocked him out and tied him up in one of the rooms. We were discussing about what to do next when you three came . Sorry."

There was someone else...just like me. Someone had gone through the same day. The only difference was that he died two times and I probably died once. Was that why the heart symbol was kept in the white room ? I wanted to talk to him. "Which room is he in right now?" John stood up as I did the same from my chair. He seemed unsure of what to do next , even though he had nothing to lose. In his eyes , that guy was just a crazy lunatic anyways. He made his way cautiously upstairs. On the way , I noticed another room , chained . 

"Why's that room loc-" before I could even finish what I was saying , I was pushed into a room with Sam and Jess. I made a run for the door before it was closed all the way. I was able to stop the door with my feet. "Sam ! Jess ! What're you waiting for? Come and help!" They broke from their trance and was running to me when John said , " I have nothing against you , but I remember what you said today morning. You're like him." 

With that , he locked us in. Sam and Jess didn't make it in time. "What the hell is wrong with that guy!" Jess cried out. She seemed to have enough on her plate for the day. Jess sat on the sofa while both Sam and I sat at either sides of her , trying to comfort her. It wasn't working , but it was the least we could've done at the moment. John was going crazy with his ideas of me , but first , we had to find a way out of this place .
