Trapped

Chapter 18

Claudette ran out of her shack, looking dead at Hope. "Where's Boris??" She demanded, making Hope jump to her feet. "He's been in a trail for a bit, why??" Hope was left on full alert, running up to Claudette.

"She's asking for you, Boris, Autumn, and Smug. I already told her that Smug wasn't here bust she insisted having Autumn, you and Boris." Claudette explained. Hope's heart sunk.

So Luna wasn't going to make it? She felt like a ton of weight was dropped onto her back as the thought lingered and intoxicated her mind. "Can you help her stay awake until Boris and I come back??" Hope asked.

Claudette hesitated, nodding. "You have about thirty minutes." Just as soon Hope heard that she gave a quick nod and dashed off towards the killers' side.

Autumn laid down on her cot upside down with her eyes closed. She started to like it here a bit. Everyone was talking and laugh, well besides Freddy and Jeffrey. They were off in their own shacks, not that Autumn was complaining. The less they were around, the better off she was.

Sometimes even Michael would come over and listen to the jokes, even if he didn't talk much. Autumn didn't mind him sitting next to her but would instantly blush when she realize Frank had walked up and gave her his jacket.

She couldn't help but snuggle into it and breathed in his scent. Even though he was a killer, there was a calming aura around him when he wasn't being forced to kill people. Autumn laid her head on his shoulder and watched the fire.

"So what was your relationship with the Entity? I mean, you were taken as a kid." Autumn looked over at Evan and Sally, who had asked the question. Evan looked down with a sad smile and sighed.

"The Entity was a lot different when it was just me and him." Evan chuckled. "So the Entity is a he?" Autumn asked, intrigued. "Well, technically no; the Entity can change its gender or not be one. I just...called him, Dad.." Evan muttered.

Autumn would've laughed if she didn't the hurt in his eyes as he admitted to it. "You see before you all came here, it was just me and him. There weren't even survivors at the time and the realm was first starting out. I was able to age up and grow up." Evan smiled, his eyes shined with memories.

"Enny?" Evan looked up at the shadowy figure, which looked over at him. "Don't- What do you want kid?" Evan lightly kicked the ground in front of him. "Do we have a ball?" Evan asked sheepishly, remembering all when his father once hit him when he asked 'stupid' questions.

"Why do you want one?"

"To play catch! I never... played before." Evan saw Enny slightly flinch at that and his eyes softened before he scoffed. "Fine, go outside." Enny ordered, making Evan scramble to his feet, ecstatic.

Enny sighed, taking a physical form, still having a demonic look. His hands touched his tree-like horns and felt his skin which burned like coal, the skin flaking like ash from a cigarette. His nose was replaced with a skull-like gap that glowed orange, same with his eyes and teeth.

He turned away and walked outside, grabbing a baseball that he quickly made. Evan was Enny's first victim to test his realm out but there were many flaws to it and that scared him.

"Enny! Over here!" Evan giggled, waving his arms over his hand while jumping up. When he stopped jumping he stood on his tippy toes. Enny smiled, chuckling at him. He looked like an idiot waving his arms around like he was trying to fly.

Enny tossed the ball over and chuckled as Evan dove to catch it, skidding on the ground. Evan jumped up, the light shining in his eyes. "I got it!!" Evan exclaimed, jumping up and down. Enny chuckled before suddenly feeling a sharp pain, making him fall onto his knees.
