quicksand (Dazai X Reader)

room

Stupid stupid stupid stupid girl.

How could you do that? I am the most idiotic person to ever exist.

It's been 5 days since I was taken, honestly I don't remember much about anything that has happened since I was pulled into the van. I guess it's the state of shock that has induced memory loss or an inability to process my surroundings and situation.

So I take this momento of consciousness to make myself aware. The room is cold, I'm sitting in the back of the space, I feel the wall against my back, the only clothes I have on are my underwear, and to my surprise, I am not tied up, not by the hands or the ankles, which is weird. The other weird thing is, I am blindfolded. Just a simple cloth wrapped around my head covering my eyes. I can feel the soft texture with the tip of my fingers, as I was thinking of pulling it down something in the back of my brain screamed, DON'T DO IT.

I don't know if that voice was mine or another's but I stopped, put my hands down touching the floor.

I heard someone whimper, softly, so quiet that even my breathing sounded louder, it was a somber cry, echoing the cold room.

"Is somebody else here?" I asked as I exhaled, a whisper also so low I barely heard it myself. I didn't notice that I was trembling, was it the cold or the fear of this dark cold room, who knows It doesn't really matter.

"We are 5 in total, counting you" I heard a voice call between sobs, a childlike voice, those that are so squeaky that sound like they are faked. Are these all children?

"How old are you all?"

"I'm 13, the others 15, 17 and 19, we don't know about you since you haven't been responding, we thought you were dead"

I might as well be.

"Well I'm not dead, I was just, um, away, so can anyone tell me the situation?" I asked very carefully, we don't know if anyone else is in the room, or if they are listening, and I am getting anxious, I am the older one here. I guess they mistook me for being younger, I have always looked pretty young, hell I shouldn't be here, I should be home with my parents, my cats, doing the office job that I hate.

But then again, none of these kids should be here either.

"Nothing has happened, we haven't been fed, only yesterday they brought us water but left it by the door, they didn't come in, I heard two men outside the door and that's all we know." Another voice came in, lees squeaky, must be the 19 year old.

"Just dont take off your blindfold, they say that they'll kill us if we do", Yet another voice called out of the dark.

"What are your names?" I asked.

"So-yeon"

"Saki"

"Megumi"

"Arisu, and you?"

"Well, pleased to meet you girls, I am who will get us out somehow, so i ask you to indulge me and my weird ideas, because we are going to live and that's final"

I refuse to be a number, I have years of repressed anger and rage, I will get these kids out even if I have to burn this whole city to the ground, with me in it.
