Chapter 18: Strange Dreams

Start from the beginning
                                    

"𝙄 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪! 𝙒𝙖𝙞𝙩... 𝙮/𝙣?" I the voice asked.

I hissed in pain from the light in my eyes. My arm was let go of.

"𝘼𝙝 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮" The voice apologized.

The flashlight was pointed upwards and I saw the mask and hat from before on someone. The person had brown hair, black eyes with white pupils seen through a mask, a mask of a red fox, a hat that read "security guard", a white buttoned up shirt, and black pants. We were both on our knees on the floor.

"Who are you? What happened?" I asked in a hurry.

"𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, 𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨. 𝙈𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙤𝙣" Michael said.

"Your voice sounds familiar... You're one of the whispers I heard in the employee halls" I stated.

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙪𝙨? 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚" Michael shook his head, "𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨. 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩!"
Michael grabbed my shoulders.

"Cassidy? Who's that?" I asked, afraid by his sudden panic.

"𝙄𝙛 𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙚'𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙩! 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪..." Michael trailed off.

Suddenly another pair of footsteps was heading our direction, a shadow showing through the crack of the door. Michael and I both looked at the door. Michael then looked at me.

"𝙔/𝙣, 𝙬𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙥! 𝘿𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙢!" Michael said in a hurry.

"Who? Cassidy and your dad? What- where is this place?"

The footsteps got closer, seeming to speed up.

"𝙔/𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣! 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧. 𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙥!" Michael said in a hushed tone.

It was no use, whoever Michael was hiding me from found us. The door creaked and a shadowy figure appeared. The figure had bunny ears and seemed to be in a suit of some kind, it let out a maniacal laughter. Michael stood up and put an arm in front of me to protect me.

"D̷̪̽ợ̶ń̷͖'̷̣̀t̶̬̓ ̷͐͜ẗ̶̨́r̷̺̈́ÿ̴͍́ ̶̲̓t̶̖͘o̷̪̾ ̸̟͆a̶̟͝c̷̠̿t̶̳̿ ̵̗̾ṯ̸͆o̵͎͆u̷͊͜g̵̦͑h̷̰͘ ̴͙̍ḇ̴͘o̶͍͛ẏ̶̖!̶̝̚ ̶͖̐W̷̫͛e̸̤̊ ̵̣̿b̶̪̈́o̸̼̓t̸͚͘h̶̝̍ ̴͍͊k̶̩̈́n̸͈̒o̴̤͛ẁ̵̠ ̷̗̆y̶̺̏o̵͙̚u̵͂ͅ'̸̼̿r̴̢̈e̵͎͝ ̴̼̕t̵̗͠oo̷̲̾ ̷̪́w̶̰̄e̸̩̒a̵̠̽k̵̲̋ ̵̱͑t̴͖͋ŏ̴͔ ̶̻̓s̷̤̉t̶̩͋ǒ̵̠ṕ̸̜ ̸̹́m̵̛͙é̶͜" The voice was glitchy and muffled through static, I barely understood it.
(A/n: For those who can't read it; "Don't try to act tough boy! We both know you're too weak to stop me")

I felt a sense of impending doom wash over me. My breathing hitched and I struggled to get air. The feeling gripped my heart and squeezed with all its might. I held onto my chest, gasping for air.
