Little Dory turns the knob, sliding the door forward.
Across the door boundaries is pitch black. I cannot see clearly. The others enter the without any hesitation or fear bu—but I don't know why my legs is trembling and weaking—i feel dizzy. I do not want to go in. I don't know why or I feel a little ominous.
What can I do? A little kid can be pulled by the other kid, the hold is soft but firm so I can jerk my hand off.
I lifted my head, looking directly at the big kid who was also staring at me.
A little retro smile, "Don't need to be afraid." he sighs and tightening his grip on my palm. "It is normal here."
Right behind us, Little Mina was peeking through our shoulder.
"Pee-ka-boom." she shouted with a husky tone—scaring us. And we got caught on our guard. I scream internally while closing my eyes but the other person screams in high-pitch, "Ahh!!"
Retro and I glare behind sweat dripping from our forehead. Mina fidgeting her fingers with a little smile playing on her mouth—guilty not at all. Her eyes are brimming and crinkled a little like smirking.
She opened her lips and mocking the same scream and making fun of him, "You got scared too easily he he." pointing her hand to retro.
Then her gaze landed on me and moved her finger toward me, "See, our little Quiety didn't even scream like a kid."
She lifted her head, thinking, "I also think our little Quiety is more mature than you." she narrow her eyes, corner of her crinkle with a smirk—tonting.
Retro looks betrayed, his flushed red in embarrassment and he shutter, "Don't compare me to a kid and for your information I am ten so I am mature than this Quiety and than you too. You monkey face."
Mina angrily said, "What!! Monkey face. You…" she gagged in the middle, little trouble to grab an insult word in her small mind. "You… you scumbag. You can't call yourself MaTUre when you are acting like this."
Then the war of insults started where I was in shock with wide eyes in the pitch black room, the light was still coming from the hallway from the opened door.
After a few minutes.
Entering their argument. A voice screams, "STOP IT!! DO YOU THING IT IS GAME HERE. YOU KNOW WHERE ARE WE RIGHT THEN WHY BEING A BABY AND FIGHTING BECAUSE OF SMALL THINGS." the voice is rough and full on angry mode like patience finally broke.
Dory glared at both, retro and mina, glaring at their soul, "I don't need to explain it again right?" silence. She again said, "Right?"
Both nodded in unison.
Dory goes toward the opened door then; Mina whispers, "I am not a kid." retro interfere and gasping, smirking, "Oh~! Who is saying who is a baby herself? So sad because I am not a kid like you throwing tantrums. I am more mature than you."
And again interrupted by a loud cough. Their gaze looking back at the coughing person. Dory was glaring at me, and she made silent signs.
The both again nodded but this time in sweat.
The camera focus on the Rudy face, "They are both are kid means we all are kids and mature hehe what a joke." he stated a fact.(¯\_(ツ)_/¯) which was only heard by karl and me,
Dory closed the door. The room becomes silent and the darkness all over us is consuming us. In the silence we can even sense each other's breadth.
I can understand why my breadth is heavy and my heart is pounding like crazy—I am afraid of darkness and being alone in it but why is everyone's breadth is heavy like panicking or waiting for something bad.
Who cares.ᖍ(ツ)ᖌ
I clenched my free hand—closing my eyes even knowing nothing can change.
Two minutes later;
A green light starts glowing on the ceiling. I opened my eyes, looking at the ceiling with widened eyes. What is going on here?
Dory shouted, in a commanding tone, "LOOK DOWN, NOT AT THE GREEN LIGHT ABOVE US."
Me, dozing out. My face is forced lower by the retro. His face is dead-serious. He smiled.
Again dory shouted, "NO TALKING, NO EXPRESSION, AND IMPORTANTLY BE STILL UNTIL THE GREEN LIGHT OFF."
After that announcement. Everyone become still like a statue. My face is neutral, which I maintain after meeting strange guys.
Acting like a child. They are not toddler btw arguing like this is something. [he's a child btw.]
Closing my eyes, my pounding becomes slow—claming because little light is enough i can see means I am fine now.
The green light becomes many, breaking into million rays, bouncing on every corner until it covers the whole room.
Finally it stopped after ten minutes.
The room again fell into complete darkness. Everyone is groaning and stretching a little for a minute because of stiffness.
Without waiting a moment, a large steam descended from the ceiling. Flashing blue light where clouds were drawn and a text was there.
A smiley man appeared, smiling abnormally, his eyes were empty but his face was beaming. He waved his hand.
[WELCOME KIDS!]
The silence fell. I glance at others, their corner of other lips lifting, smiling. Retro shakes his hand as saying do it too.
I nodded—and smiled.
The smiley man's eyes move from one corner to the other, observing carefully. His eyes were glowing blue, his mouth open—scanning?
He blink slowly, not as normal as the average human. He lifts his wrist. A watch. 10: 55 AM. the smiley man's eyes widened.
[twenty-five minutes late…]
The smiley man stopped for a second. The screen started to glitch like crazy. Retro gives a glare at Dory for a second then looks forward.
Dory was sweating, terrified, "I became careless again." She chewed her nails, whispering in her breadth.
The screen closed with a whoosh sound.
And he restarted again with a loading. Tip top tip top. A noise takes place into the room. Water? Where? Drops of water start to fall into us—slowly.
It's like rain is starting. I looked up, seeing nothing in pitch black. I hug the retro waist instead, trembling. Retro started patting my back, gently, covering me from his own body.
"It's your fault. You b*tch." Rudy shouted and got silent by Karl's hands.
"No bad words." Karl said in a calm but angry tone.
"But…"
"No buts and shut up."
The drops become faster and faster. A drop of water slid from retro's forehead falling into my hand.
"Ouch!" I shouted. It's burning like crazy… hurting. I start scratching it. What is this? It's hurting so much. It's like tearing my skin apart. retro 's crying from the rain. His tears fell into my face.
"I hate this." retro complaint.
Mina approaches retro, holding the retro's shirt—crying miserably. The agony of pain in her voice I can feel just hearing.
"Ah.. Sob, sob, sob.. Why.. ah! Why is this always… happ—happened to us." She hiccups. Hugging the retro hand. Which was hot and burning. Retro groaned in pain and wanted to take his hand away.
But the little girl didn't loosen her grip.
Retro finally sighs in defeat, "Be on your knees." without wasting. She became a cocoon while taking me in her arms tightly, her voice was bitter and husky, sobbing. Retro covers us.
Retro is a big boy. He is taller than the other kids, even the older one, Dory but this is still not enough.
The water still gets in, harming Mina arms and legs, "Ouch… Ah!! Stop it!..." She said again.
Retro trembling, crying but not loudly.
Behind us, Rudy was beneath Karl.
I can only hear Rudy's sobs and Karl groaning. And about Dory. She was alone and silent. She doesn't scream. Do not cry. She was just blaming herself.
She looks around in the pitch black—only hearing, sobs and crying.
Falling into her knees, covering her head with her arms, "Is it because of me? Again!" she started crying then. Water touches her every part like a beast. She accepts it with a broken smile. She was standing in the heavy rain of (..?).
She takes a breadth in. She lifts her head, and closes her eyes. Hundreds of drops fall into her skin.
Finally after ten minute of torture it stops.
Then what I saw which made to shock to death.;
