make you smile.
(252): your happiness is my joy

(252): the moment
(919): I see.

sexy as fuck.
(919): Oh, come on.
(919): You're making me blush.
(252): i can see that
(252): i also see that you're
squirming a lot now.
(919): Because you're embarrassing
me! I'm not hard or
anything.
(919): But I agree with you. I think
I can see myself in those.
(919): Are you into roleplaying,
Rhett?
(252): roleplaying?
(252): hmmm
(252): i dunno, never thought about it
(252): what's in your mind?
(919): I could be like some
kind of Japanese
schoolgirl.
(919): You could be my senpai.
(252): oh, like in the japanese
magazines
(919): They're called manga,
you dork.
(252): whatever!
(252): what's a senpai anyway?
(919): I'm not exactly sure.
(919): Japanese people are very
formal, so maybe it's
just a respectful name
for a guy.
(252): that's right babe
(252): treat your senpai
with respect
(252): or else you'll be punished
(252): for being a bad,
bad boy
(919): Oh, please hahahaha.
(919): Not today, though.
(919): Can we go to bed
early? I'm exhausted.
(252): no wonder
(252): you woke up so early and
walked up to here.
(252): plus, you're still hurt,
with bruises and all.
(252): i'll treat them in the
morning for you
(919): Thank you, Rhett. I appreciate it.

(252): and i'm glad we're finally together
(252): i'll go make some breakfast
for us now.
(919): Thank you for the cereal!
I'm actually very glad
you didn't mix them with
the water.
(919): They would've been so mushy
by now, lol.
(919): And sorry for sleeping
so much. I was really tired.
(919): Where are you, btw?
(919): Rhett?
(919): Maybe you're hiding, so
I'll keep quiet for now. I'll
message you again in
an hour.
(919): Hello?
(919): Christ. Not again. I thought
we were safe here.
(919): Please, get back to
me when you can. I'll try
to clean this place
in the meantime...
(252): babe
(252): sorry i disappeared
(252): i just went out hoping
i'd find more resources but
a hoard of hunters was
close by and I had to
drive them away from
this place
(252): i let myself get chased and
i lost them
(252): you won't fucking believe what
i saw then, link
(252): it was a fucking HUMAN BEING
(252): cut open
(252): no work from the hunters
(252): i don't think hunters can use knives
(252): but it was missing a few
things inside
(252): it was horrifying, gross
(252): i got so sick i threw up on a tree
(252): and guess what?
(252): another fucking hoard of
hunters smelled the scent of puke
and just dragged themselves here
(252): and i had to bolt again and
now I don't know where
the fuck i am
(252): i'm tired, my back is killing me
(252): i'm so sorry i worried you baby
(252): but i'm okay, alright?
(252): don't move from there. i'll try
to get back on my own.
(252): fuck i should have left
marks or something
(252): i already miss your presence
(252): your scent your breath your
(252): fuck
(252): I'M A FUCKING IDIOT
(919): Oh my god.
(919): A human body? Cut open?
(252): yeah
(252): it was disgustingly awful
(919): Rhett! Oh my god.
(919): I'm so happy you're okay
(919): Well, aside from your
back hurting.
(919): Are you sure you don't
want me to go get you?
(252): i'm sure
(252): just stay there
(252): you're safer indoors
(252): plus, i don't want to risk
you seeing that corpse. it was
seriously fucked up
(919): And it was close by...
somewhat.
(919): Who could have done
such a thing?
(252): i don't know and
i don't want to know
(252): all i know is that the
corpse was missing stuff, but not
resources.
(919): Hold on. What?
(919): A thief would kill someone and
take their stuff. But not... that.
(919): I don't think.
(252): i feel like we have a cannibal
roaming around
(252): because that shit was not normal
(252): okay, i'm gonna try to head
back now
(252): ttyl
(919): Wait!
(252): what?

(919): Did you see what I saw
(252): i
(252): i think i did
(919): What the fuck was that
gal doing?
(252): i don't fucking know
(252): i wanna say i saw blood
on her hands but
(252): i think my mind was just
playing tricks on me hahaha
(919): No
(919): She definitely did
(919): Oh god
(252): we need to surround her
(252): i don't fucking dare
walking by
(252): what did she just throw?
(252): was that a fuckin
(919): Rhett
(919): I don't really feel
so good
(919): I'm queasy
(919): So nauseous
(919): I want to throw up
(252): baby no
(252): come here
(252): it's going to be okay,
alright?
(252): let's just wait here
(252): be really quiet
(252): we'll wait for her to leave
(919): Okay
(919): Yeah
(919): That sounds good enough
(252): think it this way
(252): maybe she was just
(252): i don't know
(252): skinning... something?
(919): Like what, a deer?
(919): Because whatever she was
digging on.
(919): It was freaking huge.
(919): And it had no antlers.
(252): i freaking know you don't
need to remind me!
(252): gosh, the smell
(252): i hope she leaves soon
because
(252): ugh
(919): DON'T YOU DARE THROW
UP
(252): I'M REALLY TRYING
OKAY!!!
(252): okay
(252): i hear steps
(252): i think she's leaving
(919): Can you peek out?
(919): I don't even dare
(252): she's fucking heading the
same direction as us
(919): Fuck...
(919): Do you think she's heading
to Cypress?
(252): i don't even know, man...
(252): we should be careful anyway
(252): she's armed with a hugeass
machete and a shotgun
(252): i don't know what's in the
bag she's carrying tho
(252): let's just wait til we lose
sight of her
(919): Wait??? Are you crazy?
(919): Hunters are attracted by
the scent of blood. That corpse
is just a huge bait.
(919): We're gonna die if we
stay here and wait, Rhett.
(252): not if we hide properly
and make no noise
(252): you're right they're attracted
to the scent of blood, but also to
noises
(252): we'll be fine as long as we
stay here and make no absolute
noise
(919): Okay
(919): Okay, fine
(919): Even if the smell of... whatever
that was is killing my nostrils.
(252): yeah...
(919): But I swear to God
(919): If we die right now
because of YOUR idea of
WAITING
(919): I'm going to kill you
(252): sounds good to me lol
(919): It's been 15 minutes
(919): Do you think she's far
enough for us to keep going?
(252): i think so
(252): i'll check around
(252): if it's safe i'll give you a signal
(919): Okay
(919): Be careful
(252): okay, it's safe
(252): i slew the hunters that
were around just in case, too
(252): but for the love of god
(252): go around the chopped
down tree
(252): do NOT come to me
in a straight line
(252): i don't want you to see this
(919): Rhett what is it?
(252): it's another body
(252): a dude's body
(252): head is missin'
(252): his legs are missing
as well
(919): Oh god
(919): Did we just
(252): the head is just facing down
under a tree
(252): yeah
(252): we've come across the
cannibal
(252): and it was just one gal
(252): we could have easily
stayed in the cabin
(919): We don't know for sure
if it's really just a girl
(919): You said she... ugh
(919): You said she grabbed legs.
(919): A dude's legs
(919): Usually, guys have bigger
limbs than women
(919): Why would she grab so
much if it was just her?
(252): maybe she's feeding people
to other people that don't know
they're eating people
(252): you know, like hannibal
lecter
(919): Ugh. I heard about the
story, but I never read the books
(919): Never had the guts for that.
(252): it was on netflix as well
(252): honestly, a very good show
(252): i always thought mads
mikkelsen and hugh dancy were
pretty attractive
(252): and i kinda liked them
together?
(252): man
(252): i can't believe i never
realized i was gay
(919): I can't believe we're
(919): Can we start going now?
(919): It's getting dark and
despite having a winter coat on,
I'm freezing.
(252): oh
(252): yeah
(252): sorry for that lol
(252): alright, remember to just
(252): go around the chopped down
tree
(252): luckily the weeds are covering
the body so you won't see it if you
don't get close
(919): Okay
(252): safe?
(919): Yeah, no hunters around.
(919): Or cannibals.
(252): great
(252): sorry
(252): this isn't the best place
to spend the night in...
(919): Why are you apologizing?
I chose it after all.
(919): Please, don't feel bad.
(919): As long as I'm with you
I don't care where we sleep at.
(252): man

you're so goddamn sweet

go check
(919): Okay...

branches and it... well
(919): Goodness gracious...

(252): yeah
(252): stupid question
(252): coming back

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(252): it's raining so fucking much
(919): Yeah...
(919): I hope it's just rain and not a storm
(252): why?
(252): you scared of thunder, blue?
(919): Let's say I am.
(919): What would you do?
(252): well that's a stupid question
(252): i would hold you so close
(252): smooch you and pet you
(252): make sure you're calm in my arms, feeling safe
(252): why are you scared of thunder, though? did something happen?
(919): Nothing really. I just.
(919): I hate how loud and unexpected they are.
(919): I mean, I like the lightning. I've seen a lot of pretty pictures of thunders.
(919): It's just the sound that I find scary. Can't help but get startled.
(252): you scream too?
(919): Ugh.
(919): Yeah, I do. More times than I would like.
(252): why ugh
(252): i think it's a reasonable fear
(252): and if you think it's stupid, i can share a stupid fear as well
(252): to make you feel better
(919): What is it?
(252): objects falling off edges
(252): this one comes from when i was just a kiddo
(252): we were at my grandma's and she lived in the attic of a building
(252): she had this huge plastic pool just for me and my cousins to play in in the balcony
(252): and i had this super cool rubber ball, super bouncy
(252): like it was the best thing ever!!!
(252): my favorite toy
(252): until it slipped from my hands
(252): it bounced and bounced and bounced
(252): and it fell through the railing
(252): i jumped out of the pool and tried to see where it went
(252): but it was nowhere to be found
(252): i got SO FREAKINGUPSET
(252): like i cried for DAYS
(919): Oh no. That's so sad.
(919): I get it though, small kids tend to cry a lot when they lose their toys
(252): i mean i wasn't that small either
(252): i was probably... 11? 12?
(252): around that age
(252): still, it scarred me for life
(252): can't have any objects close to edges, i push them further away, lol
(919): So that's why you keep pushing my bottles away
(252): yuuuuup
(252): not only it's scary but it gives me a little anxiety
(919): Oh god. I had no idea. I'm so sorry, Rhett.
(252): babe no
(252): lol it's okay. i'm not bothered or anything at all, don't worry about it
(919): Okay... if you say so.
(919): Either way, with this rain, we can't continue our way to Cypress.
(919): We're stuck here.
(252): that's fine
(252): i'm sure we can entertain ourselves.
(919): Doing what?
(252): playing a game!
(919): 20Q, I start
(252): aw man
(252): i wanted to
(919): No way lol, you stole my chance last time.
(919): Come on, I got something already.
(252): fiiiiiine...
(252): hmmm
(252): is it a living being?
(919): Mm... not exactly.
(252): is it an object then?
(919): Mm
(919): I mean, it could be one, but not necessarily. Not generally.
(252): is it something people use everyday?
(919): They don't use it.
(919): However they can do other actions.
(252): huh
(252): man, i'm so bad at this
(252): uhhhhh
(252): is it something we have in this house?
(919): Mmmmm
(919): Technically yes
(252): technically?
(919): I can give you a hint if you want.
(252): ughhhh let me think
(252): something that's in this house... and we don't have
(919): I mean, I wanna think you have it. I at least do.
(919): In our person.
(252): a soul!!!!
(919): Close!
(252): ghost??
(919): Nope
(919): You can see it sometimes because it's shown in objects.
(919): But usually, you can't see it.
(252): a heartbeat???
(919): Close~
(252): is it something medical
(919): Not at all.
(919): BUT it has to do with the heart.
(919): :)
(252): ...
(252): OH
(252): IT'S LOVE
(919): Yeah!
(252): awwww link
(919): It's my everlasting love for you.
(252): oh my god
(252): STOP BEING SO SWEET
(252): I WILL DIE
(919): No way hahaha
(919): I love seeing how squirmy and giddy you get when I show you my love.
(919): When I tell you I love you so much.
(252): man
(252): if someone saw us
(252): bet they would say 'they are so fucking cheesy'
(252): and i wouldn't fight it because they're a 100% correct
(919): I love being cheesy with you Rhett.
(252): i love it too blue
(919): THE SHOWER WORKS
(252): really??
(252): awesome!!
(919): Is it okay if I shower first?
(252): yeah go ahead
(252): i'll spam your phone in the meantime
(919): Pfffft, fine by me.
(252): you know, when i was little, it would be very hard for me to shower.
(252): for some reason i was also very scared of showering, but i would have no problem bathing
(252): i would shower if there was an adult in the bathroom with me though
(252): i guess that comes from watching a scary documentary about deaths
(252): there was one about slipping and falling and smashing your head against the sink
(252): it's not really dying in the shower but the shower is slippery
(252): i dunno, i was a weird kid back then.
(252): of course i'm not scared of showering now. but i still prefer bathing
(252): my back thanks me when i get to have baths
(252): i miss bathing
(252): my back misses it too
(252): ...
(252): there's a hunter just outside
(252): wait...
(252): it's not a hunter
(252): what the hell
(252): there's someone just outside the house
(252): it's a dude. i know because he has the shape of one
(252): he's just standing there what the fuck?
(252): i don't know if he has any weapons. it's too dark to see
(252): he's just freaking standing there doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and it's FREAKING ME OUT
(252): he left
(252): he saw me get up and left
(252): i know it's raining like crazy but i gotta get out and see where that fucker went
(252): can't risk having that asshole telling others where we are
(919): What the fuck
(919): What?
(919): Are you kidding me right now
(919): Who told you it was a good idea to go after that guy?
(919): Come back!!!
(919): Rhett??
(919): Rhett?
(919): It's been an hour since you left.
(919): Please, send me a message.
(919): Something. I want to know you're okay. Please.
(919): I'm scared...
(919): It goes to voicemail whenever I try to call.
(919): Where are you??
(919): Why did you follow that man???
(919): Why did you leave me all alone? Rhett!!
(919): It's 1am. I'm falling asleep. It hasn't stopped raining since you left.
(919): I'm so tired. I miss you...
(919): i-m s tired I cn/t even see
(919): Its 2am...
(919): plese come bck...
(919): I lve u
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(919): Hello?
(919): Rhett if you're there, please
answer me...
(919): It went into voicemail again.
(919): Where are you?
(919): I'm worried about you... please
answer me.
(919): Breakfast doesn't feel good
without you.
(919): I'm still wondering why you
left me all alone.
(919): Why you went after that
man. It was a bad idea.
(919): You're an idiot.
(919): You're a stupid idiot, Rhett.
(919): But I can't bring myself to feel
angry towards you because of you
were worried about us.
(919): I just...
(919): Please... say something.
(919): I'd give anything to get a
text from you right now.
(919): It's terrifyingly quiet...
(919): I can only hear the birds
chirping.
(919): One landed in front of the door.
(919): It's so cute and small...
(919): [image file 18-0276.jpg]
(919): Don't you think?
(919): I wish my brain could shut up.
(919): 'He's gone. He got what he
wanted from you. He's not coming
back'
(919): I want to go out to look for
you but I'm scared we'll get
separated again...
(919): I don't know what to do.
(919): Should I go out either way?
(919): I feel useless staying here.
(919): I feel...
(919): Numb.
(919): Did someone slow down the
world?
(919): Without you, everything feels
so... slow. Still.
(919): I hope you're okay.
(919): I'll practice with the bow
a little bit... maybe time will
go faster if I distract myself.
(919): I accidentally hit a squirrel.
(919): It got in the way.
(919): It died in my hands when I
tried to help it.
(919): I can't stop crying.
(919): I'm a useless piece of shit.
(919): I can't do anything right without
you around to watch over me.
(919): Why am I like this?
(919): Fuck...
(919): Rhett...
(919): It's hard to breathe.
(919): I try to convince my brain
that you're just in trouble. That if
I go get you, it'll be just that.
(919): But it keeps telling me that
you simply left. You got your sex,
you're satisfied, and you don't
want anything more from me.
(919): I don't know what to fucking
do. I can't stop crying and it's been
two hours since I killed the squirrel.
(919): And even if I went after you to
help you, where would I fucking start?
You could have gone anywhere.
(919): I wish there was a fucking way
to know if... if...
(919): Goddamnit.
(919): The sun is setting.
(919): I'm going to go look for you.
(919): I can't stay here letting my
brain torture me. I don't want to
think you just used me and never
loved me.
(919): After all we've been through...
that can't be right. That must NOT
be the truth.
(919): I wish I had a fucking clue
but at least I'll do something.
I don't help by staying here.
(252): hey
(919): RHETT
(919): OH MY FUCKING GOD
(919): Where are you?? Are you
alright??
(919): What the hell why did you
reject the call?
(919): Hello??
(252): i'm okay.
(252): i need you to come here.
(919): Yeah I was about to but
I don't know where to go.
(252): at Lambert's Machine Works
(919): What??
(919): Did someone bring you there
or did you go by yourself?
(252): I was brought.
(252): Can you come here and
help me out?
(252): I'm hurt
(252): i can't walk or anything
(252): please? baby blue
(919): Yeah
(919): Yeah I'll come to you
(919): I'll grab our stuff and bolt
there right now. I'll message you
when I'm close.
(919): Hang in there okay?
Everything's going to be okay.
(252): yay
(919): Hahaha that's weird
(919): You never said yay before.
(252): i'm just really happy
i can talk to you
(919): I'm really happy too.
(919): I've felt so lonely without
you and
(919): My brain just
(919): I'm glad I didn't listen to it.
(919): I'm sorry about everything
I said. I didn't mean any of it.
(252): you're fine!
(252): not mad
(252): Hurry up though?
(919): Yeah! Sorry. I'm on my way.
(919): I love you.
(252): me too
(919): ... Great!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(919): Rhett! I'm close by. I'm
trying to hurry as much as I
can.
(919): I see two red small house-looking
buildings in the distance, is that
the place?
(252): Oh yeah, totally.
(252): How close are you?
(919): I still have to walk a long
way but I see the place between
the trees.
(252): LINK NO
(252): DON'T COME
(252): TURN AROUND, RUN
(919): What??
(252): IT'S A TRAP
(252): THEY KIDNAPPED ME
(252): TURN AROUND AND
(919): What the
(919): Oh my god I fucking knew
something was out of place.
(919): Rhett, pick it up!
(919): Rhett??
(252): If you don't come, we'll
blow your friend's head.
(919): You fucking asshole
(919): He did nothing wrong,
let him go.
(252): Oh yeah? Are you sure
about that.
(252): I'd say 'ask Max' but.
(252): This bitch right here killed
him
(919): What?
(919): What the fuck
(919): You guys are the ones from
Fort Bragg aren't you. You followed
us.
(919): I thought the hunters killed
you.
(252): Pfffffft that's how you guys
call them?
(252): Of course we did you
stupid idiot.
(252): A lot of us died because of
what your friend over here did.
(252): But that's not the topic
right now.
(252): Max brought us the best
bodies. You being one of them.
(252): Remember those pictures
we took of you before we beat
the shit outta you?
(919): You fucking bastard.
(252): We have interested buyers
willing to give us somewhat a
fortune for your body, baby blue
(919): You're not allowed to call
me like that, asshole.
(252): Oh yeah? And what are
you gonna do about it?
(919): I'm gonna go into that
building and blow your fucking
brains out, bitch.
(252): I'd love to see you try.
But before you pull the trigger
you'll be the one getting shot.
(252): Or more like... your
friend over here.
(252): He's looking at me very
ugly. Maybe I should do something
about it. I really don't like that glare.
(919): Touch him and you'll
regret it.
(252): Really?
(252): [image file 0078.jpg]
(252): No reply? Surprising.
(252): Either way.
(252): Consider this a souvenir
or something.
(252): Every time you look into
his eyes, you'll remember us.
(252): Oops. Meant to say...
(252): Eye.

(919): I meant I guess becauseI'm not sure what I'm feelingright now.
(919): I am... relieved I was ableto save you.
(919): Even if I slaughtered a bunchof people in order to do that.
(919): I guess you're right but... itstill isn't right to kill other people.
(919): We're not animals.
(919): ... I might be a savior, but Imurdered people.
(919): I'm a murderer too.
(919): I don't think you are...
(919): The difference is that I blewthat guy's knees when he was beggingfor mercy and left him so hunterscould eat him alive.
(919): Doesn't that make me a murderer,Rhett?
(919): What if I rely on murder andviolence next time we encountersomeone?
(919): Maybe you... should take myshotgun away.

(919): I felt bad because... I enjoyedkilling those dudes.
(919): I liked shooting them straightto the chest. Short distance. Lookingat them in the eyes.
(919): I felt good. Because they weregetting what they deserved for hurtingyou.
(919): I didn't even have time to imaginethem being hunters or anything. Just...
(919): Humans.
(919): I even felt like I was about toget aroused or something.
(919): So... I will ask this question again,Rhett.

(252): a murderer would have killedfor no good reason and you had a verygood one
(252): so no
(252): you aren't a murderer
(919): Murderers can have a millionreasons to kill, Rhett.
(252): they are never good ones
(919): What makes you say that?
(252): nothing
(252): i answered your question,didn't i?
(919): I want your honest opinion, notan opinion based on your own logic.
(919): I want you to tell me what youreally feel and think.

(252): i won't force you
(919): ...
(252): link, read me very carefully
(252): if you didn't kill those dudes
(252): 1, they would have killed me
(252): or 2, they would have killed youtrying to save me and attack them
(252): and honestly. you did the rightthing.
(919): But I felt good killing humanbeings, Rhett.
(252): you felt good killing monsters

(919): Rhett.
(252): sorry
(252): i just hear different footsteps
(252): i walked enough with you toknow how my and your shoes sound like
(252): not to mention that i sometimessee a silhouette in the corner of myeye
(919): Must be just a disorientatedhunter
(252): nah
(252): walks straight, too normal tobe one of them
(252): plus, we'd know if it was ahunter. they won't stop groaningand shit
(919): Well then.
(919): How are you so calm? I'mhaving a hard time not to freak out.
(919): My hands are shaking a littlebit.
(919): What do we do?
(252): we're two big dudes
(252): on a count of three, we turn aroundand point our weapons at them
(252): no threats. just a warning
(252): simple as that
(919): ... Okay.
(919): Rhett?
(252): yeah?
(919): I love you
(252): if you're saying that becauseyou think we're gonna die, we aren't
(252): but
(252): i love you too
(252): i'm still very suspicious
(919): About what?
(252): this dude, michael
(252): cypress security? we're stillmiles way from getting there
(252): why would the community havedudes so far from the place?
(919): I mean, he did mention hewas just making sure we weren'traiders
(252): that doesn't really answermy question
(919): Well and why don't you askhim?
(252): he might just lie and i'd getpissed off if he did
(919): How are you so sure hewould lie to you? Michael looks fineto me.
(252): i wouldn't let my guard down ifi were you, blue
(919): Rhett, the apocalypse might behorrible, but I'm pretty sure there aresome good people left here.
(919): Why don't you give him thebenefit of the doubt and just... ask?
(919): Asking doesn't hurt.
(919): If you're so paranoid about himlying to you then just do like they doin tv shows.
(919): Analyze their face. Behavior.
(252): ... I mean I guess but that'snot really how it works, link
(252): lol
(252): but you're right, asking doesn'thurt
(252): besides, we're still heading tothe creek. once we get there i can askif they know this michael dude
(919): That's right.
(919): Are you going to tell mewhat's going on with you?
(252): ugh
(252): just
(252): why did you offer him tocome with us?? we were fine onour own
(919): Were we really?
(252): i mean kind of
(252): putting aside the fact that iwas kidnapped and shit like that
(252): but we didn't need someoneto come with us and... protect us
(919): Michael isn't protecting us,Rhett. He's just coming along.
(919): We're going to the same place,remember?
(252): he could have gone hisown way and not our own
(919): I feel like there's somethingelse bothering you.
(252): ...
(252): i was just hoping we would...do something
(919): Do something? Like what?
(252): don't act like you don't know
(252): you perfectly know what i'mtalking about blue
(919): Don't you dare start anythingright now. Would make things reallyawkward.
(252): would it?
(252): or would you be into it
(919): I don't know okay
(252): what do you think about metouching up your leg while thismichael dude is in the same room asus
(252): saw you shiverin'
(252): you into public stuff
(919): I don't know.
(919): Never done anything like that.
(919): But you seem weirdly into theidea despite being a virgin.
(919): Well, you aren't anymore, but
(919): You get what I mean.
(252): well
(252): i would like everyone to knowyou're my property
(252): let them know i'm your owner
(919): ... Gosh.
(919): I really hope Michael doesn'tlook down or anything.
(919): My pants are feeling a littletight...
(252): yeah
(252): can see you growing fromhere, blue
(252): this is very exciting, don'tyou think?
(919): Yeah
(919): You're making me regretsuggesting him to come with us.
(252): you can just tell him youchanged your mind babe
(252): and then we can go behind a tree and maybe have a little funtogether
(919): God...
(919): I don't think
(919): I'm not good at that. It wouldmake things very awkward.
(252): i can tell him then
(919): What? No way. I don't trust you.
(252): why not??
(919): And risk you being blunt?
(252): i wouldn't have
(919): ...
(252): ... okay yeah i would've
(252): but so what
(252): he's just security
(252): like just a dude that weprobably won't see again
(919): He seems to want to becomeour friend though.
(919): And honestly? I would like to havea friend. Michael looks like a decentdude at least.
(252): maybe that's what he wantsyou to believe
(919): Rhett
(919): Stop thinking with your dick
(252): i'm horny okay??
(252): i want to touch you and i wantto make us feel good
(919): Hey! Don't blame me, you startedthis when I told you no.
(252): you're horny too!
(919): Yeah but just because I'm hornydoesn't mean I'm going to do somethingabout it.
(919): It'll pass.
(919): Just like the previous times.
(252): you're a joykiller
(252): i'll get my revenge, youjust wait
(919): Mmm...
(919): I'll wait eagerly then.
(252): eagerly?
(252): hold on
(252): you into rough stuff aren'tya
(919): I might be.
(252): what did you imagine babe?
(919): What would I imagine?
(919): You're a big guy, Rhett. You'reso big. And you grunt and growl againstmy skin. That's so hot.
(919): I wish you kept fucking mehard, love.
(919): You would've had me screamingyour name between pants and moans.
(919): Too bad you were too scared andworried about hurting me...
(252): THIS IS NOT FAIR
(252): you can't just
(252): start teasing me like that
(919): Of course I can, and I plan oncontinuing if you don't stop complainingabout our new travel companion.
(252): fine
(252): but i'm still going to get myrevenge
(919): Sounds good to me, love.
(252): why the fuck did you givehim our numbers??
(919): What the
(919): Okay, first of all, calm down.
(919): Second of all, he asked! I wasn'tgoing to reject a simple request.
(919): What do you have againstgiving someone our numbers?
(252): you know he might stillbe lying about being a securityguard
(919): Rhett. He wasn't. He was legit.
(919): He showed us his card,remember?
(252): could be fake
(919): Oh my god.
(919): Okay, what's going on with you?Why are you so bothered about Michael?
(252): i just don't like him
(919): Well there must be a reason,Rhett. And I want to know it.
(252): ... you're just gonna keepinsisting, aren't you
(919): Yes.
(252): alright, fine. i'm jealous
(919): About?
(252): i've seen the way he looks atyou
(919): How does he look at me?
(252): like he just... wants to havea one-night thing with you
(252): that kind of look
(919): Rhett. He didn't have thatlook at all. I would know. I had guysstare at me the way you're saying andMichael definitely didn't look like that.
(252): how are you so sure
(252): what if it's just his own way
(919): How would you know?
(919): Did you have a guy stare atyou the same way Michael 'is'?
(252): i dunno
(252): maybe
(252): i've had guys smile at memore than i would like. get too close
(252): he was definitely smiling atyou a lot. and getting too close
(919): He was behaving the sameway towards you too.
(252): with you more
(252): and i don't like it
(919): Rhett, please.
(919): I appreciate you being jealousbecause it shows you care about meand you love me but
(919): Maybe what Michael just wants isto have a friend. And I want to havea friend.
(919): Can't you just... let me have that?
(252): would be weird if he was inthe cypress and still have 0 friends butalright
(252): i let you
(252): just... be careful, okay?
(919): I will be, I promise.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(984): Hi there Link!
(919): Who's this?
(919): Oh wait
(919): Michael?
(984): That's me! :P
(919): Why are you texting me? You're literally across me.
(984): I've just seen u and Rhett text each other even if u 2 were together all the time
(984): I don't really know why and I'm very curious as to why u guys do that
(919): Just an old habit.
(984): Weird habit, may I say! XD
(919): Haha. Yeah, a little.
(919): You haven't, um... answered my question though.
(984): Oh, no reason in particular. Just mere curiosity. I do feel kinda weird, though.
(984): Like I'm doing something rude and wrong.
(984): That same feeling when u're texting at your family's dinner party.
(919): I've grown used to it.
(984): I can see that! xD
(984): This is the 1st time I do this but I feel like I will never get used to it
(919): You don't have to. We can just talk like normal people.
(984): Naaa I don't wanna wake up Rhett.
(919): Fair enough.
(984): While we're at it, why don't u talk to me about urself?
(919): About myself?
(919): What do you want to know?
(984): First of all, ur name. Like, it's so weird? No offense.
(919): None taken.
(984): I feel like I've heard it before? In a videogame.
(984): My niece used to play a lot of videogames so I have some knowledge, sorta xD
(919): Yeah, I'm aware there was a videogame where the main character was named Link.
(984): But u said you were like, what? 41?
(984): So u couldn't be named after that character.
(919): Actually, my name is Charles Lincoln.
(919): Link is just a nickname for Lincoln.
(919): Been called like that since I have memory.
(984): Really? So your parents nicknamed you? Why's that?
(919): I'm named after my father. He's the second, while I'm the third.
(984): Don't know what u mean by that.
(984): Ur dad was named Charles Lincoln too or what?
(919): Yeah, that's right.
(919): And probably to avoid confusion they decided to nickname me 'Link'.
(984): Why name u the same way as ur dad if ur just gonna be called like a nickname.
(919): Don't know.
(919): Would ask my parents if they were around. Unfortunately they aren't.
(984): Sorry about that.
(919): What about you? Do you have a second name?
(984): Harris!
(984): Michael Harris at ur service :P
(919): Fancy.
(984): Does Rhett have one too?
(919): He does. But I'm not sure if he would be comfortable me sharing stuff about him.
(984): He doesn't need to know.
(919): Mmm. Been told that before.
(984): Oh. Sorry. Didn't mean to make u uncomfortable or anything. Just mere curiosity.
(919): It's fine. Can we change the subject though?
(984): Ofc!
(919): Pardon?
(984): Of course. Sorry, too used to write quick n stuff.
(984): What do u want to talk about?
(919): Can you tell me about the life in Cypress Creek?
(919): What's it like?
(984): Man, Cypress is fantastic. The community is so nice.
(984): Arrived there like 10 or 11 months ago. Having nowhere to go. I was all alone.
(984): They offered to help me if I helped them in exchange. Like with duties n stuff.
(984): Saw the hard work I was doing n promoted me to security. Thought I was loyal and responsible enough to take care of others.
(919): Interesting.
(919): Do you happen to know a girl named... Stevie?
(984): I know a Stephanie that goes by Stevie, yeah. She's the one in charge.
(984): Why? U know her?
(919): She helped Rhett um... get his hand fixed from a hunter bite.
(984): Hold on.
(984): No fucking wonder Rhett looked familiar! I saw him when he got here!
(984): His hand looked so nasty.
(984): And he wouldn't stop talking about u the whole time he was here. Even if it was just for a day or 2.
(984): Can't remember how much time he stayed.
(984): Man I'm excited now!
(919): Hahaha, why are you excited about?
(984): We need more cool dudes like u guys. A lot of travelers come here expecting they can get stuff for free n then leave so easily.
(919): Stealing?
(984): Yeah, something like that.
(984): U guys won't just leave. Right?
(919): No. Like I mentioned earlier today we're planning on staying with you guys, if that's okay.
(984): Oh I'm sure it is.
(984): I mean I'm just a guard I don't really have a say, Stevie does but!
(984): I know she'll accept u guys into the community :D
(919): Well, I certainly hope so. Would suck we traveled a long way just to be denied.
(984): U won't be denied. I'll make sure of that if needed.
(984): Bet u 2 went through so much shit. Can see it in ur eyes.
(919): Yeah, we have. We're hoping to get some peace. We're... really tired of encountering problems over and over again.
(984): I bet.
(984): But once we get there, u'll be in heaven.
(984): We have good food, a good cook, nice beds, working showers, internet service...
(984): U guys will love it here. And Josh will be happy to be cooking for more people!
(919): Josh's the cook?
(984): Yeah! Super nice guy. Funny, can be a little awkward but it's charming.
(919): I feel like you almost described me, hahaha.
(984): Lol why? U're awkward too?
(919): Please, I'm a walking awkward situation.
(984): U don't seem like one tho!
(984): I see you as a cool dude that can be funny and also charming.
(919): You flatter me.
(919): Thank you Michael.
(984): Hey, no problemo. I just don't like it very much when people are modest.
(919): Wasn't really trying to.
(984): Yeah, it's something unconscious.
(984): Just hope u don't mind telling u the contrary of what u say :P
(919): Nah, I won't.
(919): I'm gonna head to bed now. Rhett wakes up early after all. Wouldn't want to make him wait for me to wake up.
(984): Ye, was gonna do the same.
(984): Had fun chatting with ya, Link!
(919): Me too, Michael.
(984): Nighty night!
(919): Goodnight.
(252): heard you chuckle last night
(919): Huh. Thought you were asleep.
(252): i was asleep
(252): sorta
(252): my body was asleep, but i think my brain was awake.
(252): must've been your chuckle
(252): what were you doing?
(919): Nothing much. Just chatting with Michael for a little bit.
(252): i didn't hear you talk though?
(919): He started texting me. Saying he wanted to try as well because he saw us texting each other all the time.
(252): ...
(252): kay then
(252): what did he say that made you laugh?
(919): Do I... sense jealousy in your words, Rhett?
(252): woke up with the wrong foot
(919): How come?
(252): don't know
(252): maybe i don't like sharing a room with a stranger and my future husband
(919): You don't feel comfortable around Michael yet?
(252): no
(252): and i don't think i will
(919): Why not? He's a good dude.
(252): there's just something about him that bugs me a lot, that's all.
(919): ... Maybe it's just your jealousy.
(252): might be
(252): i dunno
(252): why did you chuckle?
(919): He was just being funny, Rhett.
(252): funnier than me?
(919): Of course not!
(919): Rhett, please. Whatever you're doubting, stop it.
(919): Do I need to remind you how much I love and adore you? How much I love your jokes and how much I love when you make me laugh?
(252): yes
(919): Dork...
(252): i keep feeling he's just flirting with you link
(252): and it bothers me a lot because you're mine
(252): people playing with what's mine bothers me a lot. especially if it's something i love
(919): He wasn't playing with me.
(919): We were just chatting and getting to know each other. Nothing else.
(252): i believe you
(919): Rhett.
(919): I love you. So much. And that will never change.
(919): So if you ever feel jealous or you're having doubts, just reach out to me and I'll take care of that. Okay?
(252): what will you do?
(919): Whatever you'd like me to do.
(252): how about straddle me and kiss me hard?
(919): I can do that.
(919): And I can do more than that if you wish.
(919): Your wish is my command, Rhett.
(252): mm...
(252): i'll think of something good, then
(919): Don't forget your revenge.
(252): didn't forget about it
(252): what, you wish i did?
(919): Not at all.
(252): heh
(252): should start calling you kink neal
(252): cause you're so kinky
(919): I wouldn't mind that at all.
(919): So what, feeling better now?
(252): yeah
(252): guess a little naughty talk can put me in a good mood.
(252): who would've thought
(919): Well, whatever works, better stick to it.
(252): you're right babe

(919): He just tried to get to know you!
(252): by asking if i am a dad?
(252): by insisting to tell him what imeant by 'not yet'?
(919): What's so wrong about that?
(252): why do i have to tell peoplemy future plans with you?
(252): especially to someone whoi don't know
(919): You could know him if you tried.
(252): yeah well i don't want to
(252): i'm fine with you, i don'tneed anyone else
(919): So just because you don't needanyone else that allows you to be rudeto them or something?
(919): I'm trying to have a friend, Rhett.
(252): then be his friend, i don'tcare.
(919): You do.
(919): You do care, because you'rejealous. For some reason that I can'tunderstand anymore.
(919): Would you want me to behavelike you did towards Cassie?
(252): i wouldn't care
(252): she's dead
(919): You don't know that.
(252): neither do you, so yourargument is invalid
(919): I can't believe this.
(919): I thought you would be supportive.
(919): Is it because he's a guy?
(252): what does gender have to dowith this?
(919): I don't know, because I'm gay?Because I like dudes?
(919): Because you're scared I'll end upfalling for Michael or something?
(252): i'm not scared
(919): Then why the fuck do you behavelike this, Rhett? Please tell me, becauseI absolutely have no idea.
(252): just don't like him
(919): Why?? What did he do to you?To us?
(252): nothing

(984): Maybe I shouldn't have saidanything to u... if I knew Rhett wasgonna react so strongly.
(919): Don't worry about it, Michael.He needs to behave like a proper humaneither way.
(919): I can dislike someone and still treatthem with respect.
(984): Oh
(984): So he dislikes me?
(919): ... Sorry, that slipped.
(984): May I ask why? I mean it's a bitweird he does when we haven't talkedthat much :/
(919): He's jealous.
(984): Huh
(984): Hold on, u two have a thing together?
(919): We do. Rhett is actually myfiancé. He must think you wantto steal me from him or something.
(919): He won't say exactly why he's likethat.
(984): What the heck!! Now I get it!!
(984): Oh geez u guys!! I didn't mean tomake things difficult or anything!
(919): Trust me, I know you didn't. Butfor some reason that's very hard for himto understand.
(919): That's why I got angry at him.
(984): Oh man now I feel so bad. Rhettis upset because of me!
(919): Mike, please. This isn't your faultat all. Rhett is being controlled by hisjealousy and he maybe needs a slapor two to realize how bad he's behaving.
(984): I don't want u guys to keepfighting tho...
(984): Now I'm a little sad bc I wantedto be his friend too. U guys are so cool.
(919): Well, you would need to convinceRhett, not me. I would love to consideryou a friend.
(919): Heck, I already consider you a friend.
(984): Don't do this to me! I'm a veryemotional guy. I will cry!
(919): Oh gosh, don't, hahaha.
(919): But I'm being serious. Since thiswhole mess started I lost contact with allmy friends. They haven't reachout to me either.
(919): Well, except my ex-husband. Butthat's a different story.
(984): Bad stuff?
(919): Yeah, something like that. I don'treally want to go into details.
(984): I guessed. I mean I am verycurious bc that's just my nature butI'll be good now n stay quiet xD
(984): When are u gonna talk to Rhettagain?
(919): Well, I don't like going to bedwithout resolving issues, so...definitely before bedtime.
(984): That's a very good mentality tohave. Still, take ur time n all, don't forceurself :)
(919): That's for the advice Mike.
(984): No problem!
(919): I just realized I started calling youMike- uh I hope you didn't mind.
(984): Lmao no I don't. That's my officialnickname XD
(984): Ppl at Cypress don't even call meMichael anymore xDDD
(919): Oh gosh, really? That doesn'tvery nice.
(919): I will keep calling you Michael,if that's okay with you.
(984): U can call me whatever you want!Even Dumbo!
(919): ... You don't seem to havelarge ears though?
(984): I mean Dumbo bc it has the worddumb in it. Saying bc I made things awkwardbetween Rhett and u.
(919): Oh god no. It's really okay, dude.Don't worry about it haha.
(919): Hi again, Rhett.
(252): hey
(252): are you feeling better?
(919): Somewhat. I still feel ratherannoyed but it isn't anger anymore.
(252): ... glad to hear that?
(919): Listen, Rhett. I talked to Michael.
(252): yeah. saw you two texting.again.
(919): Rhett.
(252): sorry
(919): I talked to Michael and I told himyou were my fiancé.
(252): why would you do that?
(919): Why not? It's good news. Whyshould it be a secret?
(252): cause it's our thing, i dunno
(919): Just because it's our thingdoesn't mean we have to keep itto each other.
(919): I want to tell everyone our thing.What's so bad about that? Why doesit bother you so much telling what'sgoing on between us?
(252): guess i'm somewhat a privateperson. i dunno.
(252): if something's our thing then whyshare it with other people? it's not theirbusiness neither it has to do with them
(919): So I'm not allowed to hug youor kiss you or tell you 'I love you' inpublic because it's our thing and itbothers you if I share it in public?
(919): What happened to the teasingme in public bit? Were you just playingaround?
(252): i don't know how to explain myself
(252): i'm aware i acted like a completejerk but i can't tell you exactly why exceptthat i got jealous
(252): i don't know what's wrong with me
(919): It's alright. But are you sorry?
(252): hell. i am. i'm really sorry. i feellike shit, link
(252): i hurt you, your feelings and evenyour new friend. i never meant to dothat. i never meant to act like a jerk i just...
(252): can i blame it on my back? becauseit hurts a lot.
(919): Nice try, Rhett.
(919): But I will forgive you.
(252): really?
(919): Yeah. You said you were sorry,and I believe you. Unless you're lying?
(252): no! i'm not
(252): i truly am sorry
(252): i'll even get on my knees and tellyou straight to the face.
(919): Hmn... on your knees, eh?
(252): yeah
(252): and then you can do me whateveryou want.
(252): if you want to get angry at me andpull my hair, you can do that
(919): What are you trying to do, Rhett?
(252): i'm just saying
(252): i've been an ass so it makes sensethat you... i dunno... that you do whateveryou want to... punish me
(252): if you want to use me, so be it
(919): Rhett...
(919): Why do you have to make thingskinky whenever we have a smallargument, lol.
(252): hey, you started it!
(252): ... you don't like it?
(919): Mmm. I don't mind it. But it'sawkward to do this with Michael near.
(252): no kinky stuff today either?
(919): Mm. We'll see, love. Let methink about it, okay?
(252): i haven't told you but i love itwhen you call me love
(252): feels so intimate and romantic
(919): Not to mention that everytime Icall you 'love' there's this big smilethat forms on your face.
(252): can't help getting giddy
(919): Did you get giddy whenever Icalled you 'love' before we met inperson?
(252): oh yeah, totally!
(252): like sometimes i'd be feeling abit down and stuff, you know, cause ofthe whole thing of being alone andneeding a human presence
(252): and we would be talking and thenyou would call me 'love' and i'd just get ina better mood?
(252): you pulled me out of the darknessso many times link, you have no idea
(919): Aaaaand romantic Rhett is back.
(252): heh
(252): missed me?
(919): I did.
(919): Might sound a little proud here butit makes me happy to know that I helpedyou so much.
(252): of course you did, blue
(919): I just... I often think that I'm notgood enough and that I'll never be.That I'm just a waste of time andspace and you could have yourattention on something better.
(252): you're something better though
(252): you're the best thing
(252): well, not 'thing' cuz you're ahuman. but trust me when i say thatyou're more than enough for me.

"Heeyyy Link! I'm great! I'm feeelingsoooo great."
"Uh... that's good to hear! Are youclose? You're going to miss Josh'sbaked chicken"
"Ooohhh crap! You told... you said...yeah about that... I'm... nowhere close?"
"... Rhett, are you feeling okay?You're dragging your words. WhatDo you mean you're nowhere close?"
"You see, a dude came up to meaaaand... he was dressin like... like...like your friend... like Mike... and hetold me these things about thecommunity not appearing what it...what it was in reality and I was likewhaaaaaat????"
"Uhm, what? Rhett, are you drunk?What dude are you talking about?Stevie sent two guards to come getyou. Where are you?"
"Noooo... haven't... haven't drankanything really... got no booze but...that dude... he, like... he... gave mea shot... saying was for my wound...And now I feel greeeeeat"
"... Rhett, get out of there. You've beendrugged, you need to run from whereveryou are right now. Where are you?"
"Hooooonestly I have no clue at all.Seems like a big house and all but... noidea... sorry babe..."
"Do you remember how you got there?"
"No... that guy, he... gave me that shot...and then I felt, like... super... super...woozie... and I think I fainteeed???Can't hear aaaaanything 'sides birds..."
Didn't you take his phone? What the fuck
dude? First you kill that guard and now
you-- for fuck's sake.
"Oops... I think I've been found out..."
Listen, doing this all alone is very difficult.
Don't complain if you're not going to fucking
help.
Just take his phone and shut up.
"Link I'll be okay I love you byeeeee"
"No!! Rhett!! RHE--... FUCK"
(919): Rhett?
(919): Ugh. I don't know why the hellI'm messaging you. They've takenyour phone.
(919): But I don't know what else todo. I've told what I heard to Stevieand she's sent more guards to comefind you. Or at least try to.
(919): I should have gone after you.I should have helped you. For fuck'ssake. You should've let me help you.
(919): I can't lose you. Not now. Fuck.
(252): Hello. This is John.
(919): RHETT
(919): Oh. Wait, who?
(919): Who the fuck are you andwhat did you do to Rhett?
(252): First of all, please calm down.I haven't harmed Rhett. My colleaguehowever has given him a drug so he's...well, how you heard.
(919): You kidnapped him!
(252): For his own good.
(919): What you mean by his owngood? I don't get it.
(252): The Cypress Community is notwhat it seems.
(252): You're surrounded by cannibals.
(919): What? Hold on.
(919): That. That can't be right.
(252): I'm not fooling around.
(252): Josh doesn't feed you guysreal meat. It's all human.
(919): I... I haven't eaten anything.Not yet.
(919): But how are you so sure it'shuman meat?
(252): There was this girl, Anya. Sheworked for Josh in the kitchen. She wasin charge of bringing meat in from anothercommunity on the west.
(252): I don't know for how long she didthat but one day they found out a humanbone in one of the meat packages.
(252): They kicked her out. But it hasn'tstopped.
(252): The human meat kept coming inand Josh doesn't want to admit it.Neither wants this to stop.
(252): That girl, Anya, is still out there,flirting with dudes and befriending withgirls to give them a sensation of trustfor them kill them and take their freakinglimbs.
(252): You're not safe in there and youhave to get out as soon as possible.
(919): Okay okay, please stop. I need.I need to process all this.
(919): Me and Rhett did see a girl cuttingup some dude's legs and taking them withher in a bag.
(252): That was her!
(919): But I haven't seen her in the Creek.Nor have I heard her name around at all.
(252): She must be gathering more meat.She doesn't work alone.
(252): She's one smartass girl and hasfour or five people working with her. Orfor her, I don't know anymore.
(252): She sends a dude to deliver meatto Josh because if she shows up she knowsshe'll be in big trouble.
(919): And what does Rhett have todo with any of this??
(252): Nothing! We brought him here tosave him. We had to drug him, or elsehe wouldn't agree to come with us.
(919): Okay, so what the hell do I do?I can't just leave. Stevie sent two moreguys to go get Rhett so I have no reasonto leave. Not to mention that I have noammo left in my shotgun.
(252): For now, just wait. Wait untilthose guards come back, then leaveat night.
(919): They could take days to return!Are you seriously telling me to stayhere surrounded by cannibals andwait??
(919): I just told you I have no protection!And I'm not exactly good at fighting.
(252): Okay. We'll someone to getyou then. I'll note down your phonenumber so I can contact you throughmine.
(252): In the meantime I'll return Rhetthis phone.
(919): Why did you take his phonein the first place?
(252): Just in case. We can't risk for thoseguys to find where we are or... anything atall.
(252): But trust me when I say that Rhett'sgoing to be fine here. We just want to saveyou guys from Cypress. That's all.
(919): Rhett's going to be very pissedoff, John. He's going to try and go findme himself.
(252): Then please try to convince himthat we're just trying to help.
(252): We don't want any more deathsto happen.
(919): ...
(919): Okay. I'll try my best.
(252): Thank you. What's your name, bythe way? Doubt it's 'baby blue'.
(919): Charles.
(252): Okay, Charles. I'll send you amessage so you can save my number.Please update me when the guardsreturn.
(919): Okay.
(252): Send Michael my regards.
(919): Ugh... I hope you wake up soon.
(919): I don't even know if you're asleep.Maybe you're just so out of it you don'tknow what's around you.
(919): I'm so worried about you.
(919): After the guys from Fort Braggkidnapped you I don't know if I cantrust John. I gave him my first name,just in case. No one calls me Charlesanyway.
(919): He knows Michael, though... hemight give out my name. Unless he'ssmart about it and say nothing ifJohn mentions my first name...
(919): Stevie and the others looked at meweird when I said I was going to skipdinner. They insisted and thenI told them I'm vegetarian. I ended upeating a salad.
(919): But it still tasted gross. Maybebecause I have the thought of eatinghuman meat in my head still.
(919): The chicken Josh cooked lookedso good... so gourmet looking.I was so upset knowing it wasn'treally chicken.
(919): And seeing everyone eat sohappily...
(919): I felt so sick.
(919): I get immediately sick justremembering it.
(919): I'm in my room now, though. It'sdark except for a few lights coming fromoutside. Everyone went to sleep already.
(919): I feel tired. Stupid anxiety.
(919): You've been high and kidnapped twotimes now.
(919): I don't know how to feel aboutthat honestly... aside... frustrated.
(919): The first times I let it passbecause you were just being anidiot. Worrying about you, worryingabout me.
(919): But this time I couldn't doanything to protect you.
(919): I'm so scared. You're in therewith those guys and I just.
(919): I don't know if I can't believethem? They sounded legit butpeople are capable of soundingcompletely neutral in texts.
(252): i'm back
(252): sorta
(252): my head's all over theplace.
(919): Rhett! Oh my god.
(919): Are you okay? Are you hurt?
(252): surprisingly, i'm totally okay.they haven't hurt me.
(252): i'm not tied up or anything atall. the bedroom door isn't evenlocked up.
(919): Have you talked to John?
(252): who?
(919): I don't know, I talked to someoneearlier called John. Said he broughtyou here to save you.
(919): Read up. He said a bunch ofstuff I can't even explain right now.
(919): I'm confused and frustratedand... helpless.
(252): hold on...
(252): what the hell
(252): the girl we saw
(252): she's from cypress creek?
(919): Was. Apparently they kickedher out and she's not there anymore.
(252): and she still brings meat tothat cook? what the fuck
(919): Apparently.
(919): I don't know what to believenow, Rhett. John sounded legit.
(919): More legit than those guys thattried to impression you.
(252): and they know michael...
(252): so michael knew about allthis
(252): that little shit
(252): i'm going to punch his face themoment i see him
(919): Stop there. You don't know forsure if Michael knows about any of this.
(252): well this dude john clearly knowsmichael
(252): and michael has been hiding thisfrom us. the guys that were supposed to behis friend.
(919): I'm willing to give him the benefitof the doubt.
(919): You know what? I'm going totalk to him.
(252): link it's like midnight
(252): you said everyone was asleep,what makes you think he's awake?
(919): The fact that he's a securityguard.
(252): ... point.
(252): okay but
(252): don't go, simply... I don't know...text him?
(919): He could lie to me if I texthim. I don't think it's a good idea.
(252): michael might have put up anact to look oh so innocent so we thinkhe's a dumbass
(252): lock your door, stay in yourroom and message michael
(252): don't risk getting yourself killed.
(919): Okay...
(919): Michael? You awake?
(984): Oh hey Link! I am still awake,just doing my night shift.
(984): Why are u awake this late?Something's bugging ya?
(919): I'm just... worried about Rhett,is all.
(984): That's understandable. I kindamiss him too, tbh. I rly hope he's ok.
(919): Yeah, me too.
(919): Hey, do you know someonecalled... John?
(984): Uhhhhh John?
(984): No
(984): Why?
(919): Are you really sure? Please,Michael. I really need to know.
(984): Um...
(984): How do u know that name?
(919): He messaged me.
(919): Well, more like he took Rhett'sphone to talk to me.
(919): He's been drugged and takensomewhere else we don't know.To save him.
(919): He's going to send someoneto come get me once the otherguards return from searching forRhett.
(919): John said you guys are allcannibals... or at least Stevie andthe others.
(919): And then he told me togive you his regards.
(919): But I don't know what tobelieve.
(919): So please. Tell me the truth.
(919): Have you been hiding the factthat Cypress is a dangerous place allalong?
(984):
(984): I have work to do, Link. I'm sorry.I can't answer ur questions right now.
(919): Mike, please. I need to know.
(919): If Rhett's in danger and I'm hereunable to do nothing about it I'll
(919): I'll hate myself more than I already do.
(984): I can't, Link. I'm sorry.
(919): You can't or you don't want to?
(984): I rly can't. I wish I couldhelp u but... I rly can't. I'm sorry.I'm not a guy that can help u.Please forgive me.
(919): Then who can help me? Please.
(919): Michael?
(919): Michael, please. Don't do this tome. Rhett needs our help. He's yourfriend, for Christ's sake.
(984): I know. And I hope he canforgive me as well.
(984): Sorry I got ur hopes up inthe first place, Link. I really wantedto be ur friend for real. I swear.
(984): U 2 are great ppl.
(984): But I'm scared n I don't want to die.I'm sorry.
(984): Good night. Hope u sleep well. Bedsare rly comfy.
(919): Scared? What are youscared of?
(919): Mike?
(919): Michael?
(919): Michael, answer me, please.
(919): Michael.
(252): you got anything?
(252): mmm guess you're not donetalking with him.
(252): you know this house is prettyawesome. if john is legit we couldstay here instead.
(252): i already miss you so much
(919): Hey. Sorry.
(252): got anything?
(919): Nothing.
(252): well shit.
(919): All that Michael spat was that hewas scared and he didn't want to die.That he couldn't help us.
(919): I think someone manipulatedhim and is controlling him, Rhett.
(252): you think?
(919): I think.
(252): well then
(252): what about john? did he knowabout john?
(919): He did. But as soon as I askedfor the truth, he completely backed out.
(919): I got nothing at all.
(919): Fuck, Rhett. I feel so helpless.I don't know what to do.
(252): well, nothing's happened to meso far.
(252): but i snatched a knife from thekitchen. a butcher knife, to be moreexact.
(252): not exactly the best weaponin a fight but at least i'll be ableto defend myself.
(919): Good thinking.
(252): you should sneak out andget yourself ammo or some kind ofweapon.
(919): I don't know if I can do that.
(919): Michael told me he's doing anightshift. Maybe more guards aredoing nightshifts.
(919): If they find me stealing suppliesthey might kick me out or... worse.
(252): shit
(252): i kinda regret making youleave now
(919): Yeah well. Me too.
(919): I guess you should listento my stubbornness from now on.
(252): guess so too, haha.
(919): Have you talked to John already?
(252): i haven't. don't know where he iseither, haven't seen him.
(252): i think i'll explore this house somemore. maybe i'll find secrets.
(919): I forgot about it but how's yourback? Does it still hurt?
(252): not anymore. at least not that much.
(252): there's this annoying heaviness onmy spine that i feel but nothing else.
(252): maybe i should thank him forgiving me that drug, when i see him
(919): Honestly I'd prefer if you couldlock yourself in that room you wokeup in and rest, just in case.
(252): doesn't have a lock unfortunately
(919): Darn it.
(252): i'll be fine, blue
(919): That still doesn't calm mynerves at all.
(252): i love you
(919): I love you too.
(252): love you so much, link
(919): I love you so much too, Rhett.
(919): I wish you could be here withme. I feel so lonely. Pushing the bedstogether wasn't a good idea. Should'vedone it when you got here or something.
(252): the bed from that bedroom wasquite big too. would've felt rather aloneif i stood laid on it.
(919): We're not ever going to lie apeaceful and nice life, aren't we?...
(252): we will!
(252): i mean, not right now

(252): mhhh yeah, same
(252): when i opened my eyes andi didn't see you there i felt mystomach drop
(252): but i managed to make myselffeel better by thinking- we survived alot. we've been apart more than we'vebeen together, i'll survive this
(919): I wish I had the same mentality.
(919): I got used to your presence and nowwithout you here everything here feels...it doesn't feel right.
(919): I can't make myself feel better.
(252): i'm very sorry babe
(919): Let's change the subject, I don'twant to upset you.

(919): No, she didn't. I just wokeup Rhett, lol.
(919): But maybe she will once Iget out of my room.
(252): when are you going out?
(919): I dunno. Honestly I don't reallyfeel like getting up at all, today.
(919): I feel like simply staying here,curled up. Doing nothing at all.
(919): If John's right about this placebeing filled with cannibals then it'sthe best if I say here.
(252): i mean, you're right
(252): but if you stay there all daywith your door locked up they mightstart to suspect
(252): if that john guy is right
(919): So... what do I do?
(919): Pretend anything's normal?
(252): yeah, for now. til 'help' comes.
(252): you should try to talk to michaelagain tonight
(252): keep insisting. meet him inperson if needed. but keep yourselfarmed just in case.
(919): I'll see what I can do.
(252): text me if you find out anything?
(919): Of course.
(919): You'll be the first one to know.
(252): thanks babe
(252): you getting up now then?
(919): Yeah, I'm dressing up. Stillwearing your sweater, lol.
(252): hehehe
(252): i haven't had the chanceto change myself. not that theylet me bring any clothes.
(252): not that i could have. i waskidnapped. again.
(919): It's okay. I'll try to findclothes your size and sneakthem into my bag.
(252): you're the best link
(919): Hahahaha
(919): I try my best.
(919): I talked to Stevie.
(919): She said the guards notifiedher about a dead guard close tothe cabin you were in.
(919): They said they were goingto explore the area and try tofind traces of... anything.
(919): I think one of the dudesthat kidnapped you killed thatguard. One of them wasundercover.
(919): One of the voices soundedpretty upset about though, so maybethey didn't mean to kill anyone?
(919): I'm rather scared. I don't knowwhat to think, yet.
(919): I avoided the meaty breakfastJosh prepared. Decided to eattoasts instead.
(919): They... toasted better than lastnight's salad.
(919): ...
(919): What a bad pun.
(919): Guess you're talking with John.
(919): Or... getting tortured...
(252): hey
(252): i'm here, sorry
(252): i was talking to him, yeah
(252): he basically told me whathe told you last night
(252): cypress creek filled withcannibals. that girl anya
(252): word by word
(919): And you didn't noticeanything strange at all?
(252): besides the fact that hesaid the exact same things exceptout of order? no
(919): ... You think he prepared thatexplanation in case one of usasked for answers?
(252): maybe
(252): ugh
(252): my stupid brain can't figureout if this guy's just messingwith us
(252): because he looked atme in the eyes when he talkedto me
(919): Well, it's easier to look atsomeone in the eyes when youknow what you're going to say exactly.
(919): Especially if you studied it.
(252): he said that i was allowed toleave but that i wouldn't survive outthere
(252): all my stuff is back in that cabin,they didn't bring anything
(252): says that i'm better here, safe
(252): tch
(919): Well, you got that knife,didn't you?
(252): i do but this guy has guns
(252): don't think a knife woulddo much against a gun
(252): not me, at least
(919): You should play along for now.Don't make him suspect either. Butstay on guard.
(252): guess i'm following myown advice now, lol
(919): It's all you can do now.
(919): Did he tell you anything else?
(252): no
(252): just that i could leave buti wouldn't survive, and that i couldstay here and wait for you
(252): so i'm basically stuck here
(919): I wish I knew where theybrought you. I would be goingthere personally and kill them all.
(252): hahahaha did you meankick them in the ass link?
(919): Huh? No.
(252): um
(252): okay

(252): no no you didn't scare me lol
(252): just got a little confused is all
(252): what are you gonna donow blue?
(919): I might walk and check around.
(919): Gotta act non-suspiciously andall that.
(919): Plus, staying in my room doingnothing isn't good for my health.
(252): you're sick?
(919): I meant that if I stay there I'llgrow paranoid and anxious and
(919): You know
(919): All those nasty things

(252): yeah, i'm alright
(252): it was a girl named jen
(252): you wouldn't BELIEVE howfreaking buff she was!! like holy crap
(252): she could easily grab me andthrow me across the room
(252): and she isn't even that talleither, like 5 inches short
(919): Golly!
(919): She must be a bodybuilderor something like that.
(919): Was she chill?
(252): very, actually
(252): she seemed happy to haveanother uhhh 'house member'? soi guess i'm staying here for realsor something?
(919): Huh. So she lives therewith John.
(252): apparently. told me her andJohn were pals. like best friends
(252): but i got very suspeeshyat first though
(252): when i saw her she wascoming from the basement andwhen she saw me she locked thedoor
(919): Really?
(919): Do you know by anychance where she hid the key?
(252): in her pocket
(919): Figured.
(252): and i think i scent somethingstrong? i don't know, it was very brief.
(252): must've been just me, shewasn't covering up her nose oranything.
(919): ... Huh.
(919): Was a bad smell or something?
(252): not exactly? like i said itwas very brief so i didn't catchwhat it was
(252): but yeah, i talked to her andstuff
(252): she didn't say anything suspicious
(919): ... Maybe John was rightand I need to get the fuck outtahere when I can
(252): keyword maybe
(919): I wish there was a wayto know they are telling the truth
(252): heh, i guess
(252): but that would make thestory too short
(919): What story?
(252): it's a metaphor that i'mtoo lazy to explin
(252): but yeah. for now it's just...wait and see.
(252): how were the houses btw?found anything of interest?
(919): Most of them were untouchedand neat. Like someone has beencleaning them.
(252): maybe the folks at cypressare cleaning them in case travelerswanna stay there
(919): Probably?
(919): Unless they kill them andeat them...
(252): would they need to do that?john said that girl sends someoneto bring meat to josh
(252): ... but i guess fresh meatdoes sound more tempting
(919): Gosh Rhett.
(919): Don't.
(252): lol
(252): sorry. i'm hungry
(252): gonna check the chicken andsee if there's something good besidescereal
(919): You mean kitchen

(252): i'm sorry babe but Imiss you so muuuuuch
(919): Dork. I miss you alot, too.
(252): did you find anythingin those houses though?
(919): Well, I didn't exactlyfind items, but I did seetraces of blood washed off.
(919): Maybe the family thatlived here wasn't as luckyas we were. In getting tosafety, I mean.
(252): man... that's really sad
(919): It was a family of three.
(919): Mom, dad, and a toddler.
(919): I think they had a...
(919): Um nevermind.
(252): huh? a what?
(919): Uh... a cat. Because I sawa... thing... container wherethey pee and stuff.
(252): those are called litter boxes
(252): luckily i'm not very fondof cats, so i'm not feeling thatsorry if the cat didn't make it
(919): You're not? Why not?
(252): they always seem to beangry with the world all thetime. wanting to be spoiledyet when you do they bitthe shit outta you
(252): tried to caress one andit bit my hand, that little shit.
(919): But not all the catsare the same, Rhett.
(919): Maybe you just encounteredone that didn't have a verygood owner.
(252): i don't know man
(252): maybe, but i still don'tlike em very much
(252): you like em?
(919): I think I'm a cat person,but I don't think I'd be ableto take care of one properly.
(919): I think I'd be better attaking care of a dog. A small one.
(252): we could get a small dogonce we settle down
(252): baby girl and baby doggie
(252): they could be best friendsand teaching kids to treat animalswith respect at an early ageis always a good idea.
(252): oh shit!
(252): i found crackers hell yeah

(919): I miss eating crackers.I would always eat them inthird grade.
(252): when was the last timeyou ate them?

(252): why did you stop eating them?
(919): Oh, I was on a diet.
(919): I could eat crackers butsince I always ate a lot, Idecided to stop eating theminstead of consuming just a few.
(919): Because I knew that ifI started eating just a few,I wouldn't be able to stop.

(919): Too much information.
(252): lol sorry
(252): any luck talking to michael?
(919): Sorta.
(919): But he just lied to me.
(252): huh
(252): what did he tell you
(919): Well. First of all.
(919): He told me he broughtus here because the communitywould 'do with some more meat'.
(919): But he couldn't tell usanything because they are usinghim as a bait and if he askedfor help he would get killedand eaten.
(919): That he's really sorryand that he really wanted tobe our friend.
(252): ...
(252): why do you think hewas lying?
(919): He wouldn't look at mein the eyes.
(919): I told him he was lyingbut he got very defensive.
(919): Told him to look at myface and repeat everythinghe said.
(919): He wasn't able to.
(919): He was at the vergeof tears, Rhett.
(919): He looked terrified.
(919): Something's going on here.Something very bad. And Michaelis in the middle of all this.
(919): Still, stubborn as heck,he wouldn't tell me the truth.
(919): So honestly? I got nothingat all.
(252): hold on
(252): if michael's argumentmatches john's
(252): and now you're sayingmichael lied to you
(252): ... wouldn't that mean johnlied to us as well?
(919): Maybe.
(919): But Michael was reallybad at lying to me. Not onlyhe wouldn't look at me but it'slike he made everything upas he spoke.
(252): who are the fuckingcannibals then?
(919): Well, Rhett.
(919): I don't want to scareyou, but.
(919): You might be in thesame house as them.
(252): well fuck
(919): Keyword might
(252): well if the cypress peoplearen't cannibals why wouldjohn make up a story like thatto blame them?
(919): I wouldn't be surprisedif they were enemies andfought for resources.
(919): Cypress has a lot ofgood stuff and even foodgrowing.
(252): i mean i guess but thishouse has a bunch of stuff aswell
(252): unless they fought for acertain resource it wouldn'tmake sense to fight eachother when they were goodon... everything, basically.
(919): Mmm...
(919): Could be just... theydon't like each other.
(919): Betrayal?
(252): could be
(252): man, this is sucha mess
(252): my head hurts tryingto figure out who are thesedudes and who's telling thetruth
(919): I mean I just told youMichael straight up lied tomy face, so.
(919): John was definitely NOTtelling you the truth.
(252): yeah but who the heckare the cannibals then
(919):
(919): I might have to askyou a favor.
(252): what is it?
(919): You said there wasan odor coming from thebasement, right?
(252): yeah, but it's locked.
(252): jen has the key on her. doubtshe'll give it to me even ifi'm asking nicely.
(919): You need to get thatkey somehow and get tothe basement. See what thehell's in there.
(252): how am i gonna do that??
(252): you want me to sneakinto her room at night andsnatch the key from her?
(919): If you have to, yes.
(252): fuck

(252): i'm a big guy, she'lldefinitely spot me
(919): Are you a good crawler?
(252): ...

(919): I'd rather have yourback broken than yourlife lost.
(252): i could die from a brokenback link!!!
(919): I just don't want themto eat you alive, okay??
(919): I'm trying my besttrying to figure out a wayto save you, goddamn it.
(919): I might not be as goodas you back in Fort Bragg butI'm least I'm trying.

(919): Not even as a joke.

(919): Please. Be careful.
(252): oh, i'm not leaving
(252): i mean, i'm not gonnastop texting you
(252): i gotta look like i'm justminding my own business
(252): simply wanderingaround, aimlessly
(919): Oh.
(919): That's a good idea, Rhett.
(252): okay, so tell me something
(919): Like what?
(919): I'm always telling yousomething about me, whydon't you tell me somethingabout you?
(919): How was your childhood?
(252): mmm
(252): well, i had a brother
(919): Had?
(919): I'm... really sorry, Rhett.
(252): saying had because Idon't know where the hell hemight be
(252): he could be alive, hecould be dead
(252): but i don't wanna talkabout that right now
(252): i wanna talk about...how he reacted when i gotmy first 'serious' girlfriend
(919): Oh, wow. Hahaha.
(919): This is going to beinteresting.
(252): it was in... junior year
(252): i was like 17 or 16, don'tremember right now
(252): but i invited anna overto my house for dinner
(252): was supposed to bemy parents me and her butcole was there
(919): Cole being your brother?
(252): yeah
(252): so i presented her tomy parents yadda yadda
(252): then cole's like
(252): rhett
(252): i hope you're readyto experience true love
(252): i've heard anna is avery nice girl (i don't even knowhow, maybe she was justcomplimenting her just because)so i want you to treat her witha lot of respect
(252): you have to be a gentleman
(252): and when the time comes
(252): bring out the condoms
(919): Oh god
(252): mom and dad had theirjaws dropped and i was theresitting completely awkwardand cringing and
(252): she was a nervousgiggling mess and she lookedlike she wanted to run veryfar away
(252): can't blame her though
(919): I thought you didn'twant to make loveuntil you married?
(252): and i didn't
(252): cole didn't have thatmentality.
(252): mom and dad did, though
(252): cole just went rebel
(252): cole barely obeyedour family's 'laws'
(252): he just wanted to dowhatever his heart wantedto do
(252): wanted to hook up? he did!wanted alcohol? he got one!
(252): he was still a verygood brother. he never wentoverboard with anything
(252): probably because he wasworried it could shock meor something
(252): we were like best friends
(252): but i think your siblingsare always gonna be your firstbest friends
(919): I can't really relate.
(919): I'm an only child.
(252): oh man, that soundsvery boring
(919): It does.
(919): Would just be in myroom making up my own friends.
(919): Which... were my toys.
(252): that's even more sad
(252): being friends with aninanimate object
(252): you never had a bestfriend or anything?
(919): Not really, just casualfriends here and there.
(919): Nothing really specialbesides girlfriends thatdidn't last very long.
(919): Til I met Max. But.
(919): You know how thatstory goes already.
(252): i do
(252): found jen's room
(919): Nice!
(252): it's upstairs, so i willneed to be careful withmy steps
(252): might have to takemy shoes off for this one
(919): What are you gonnado now?
(252): just go back to myroom, i guess
(252): still a while until nighttime
(252): at least til jen goesto sleep or something
(252): and then i'll haveto wait even more to makesure she's deeply asleep
(252): it's going to be avery stressful night.
(919): I'll be here textingand supporting you, Rhett.
(252): yeah, about texting
(252): might have to put myphone on silence mode
(919): Oh, yeah, I figuredyou would do that. Don't worry.

(919): Yes, get it out of
your system.
(919): God.
(919): I'm so sorry, Rhett. I'm
sorry you had to see such
a thing.
(919): Despite missing her
limbs, was she okay? Did
you talk to her?
(252): i bet those bastards
knew who i was
(252): fuck
(252): that fucking brat, michael
(252): that little shit told them,
i bet
(252): i'm going to strangle that
son of a bitch
(919): Rhett, I know you're
angry, but I need you to
calm down.
(252): i really can't, link
(252): i'm fuming
(252): i ate her own flesh
(252): and then i puked it out
(252): i feel so sick
(252): my head hurts
(252): my stomach hurts
(252): fuck, link
(252): everything is hurting
(919): Rhett, answer the call
(252): are you crazy
(252): they could hear me
(252). those bastards could
hear me and then i would be
the next one on the menu
(252): i can't stop crying
(252): cassie was there for
god knows how long
(252): probably calling for
help
(252): but nobody came.
(252): it was all planned,
i bet it was
(252): oh god
(252): stop calling me
(919): Rhett, I'm not asking you
to talk to me. I just want to talk
to you. Maybe the sound of my
voice will calm you down.
(919): Rhett. I love you.
(252): i love you too
(252): thank you so much but...
i'm sorry i made you cry as well
(919): It's fine. Just... hearing
your crying voice... it broke
my heart.
(919): I wish you were here
so I could have you in my
arms and comfort
you properly.
(252): i'll be there eventually
(252): but i need to get cassie
out of here first.
(252): i don't know how, but
i'll think of something
(252): i'm not letting her be
eaten by those bitches
(919): But you could get
yourself killed...
(919): Rhett, it's dangerous doing
something like that all alone.
(919): You should wait for us
to come help.
(252): it might be too late by then
(252): i'm sorry, link
(252): i just
(252): i'm so happy to know
she's alive. i'm so happy.
(252): they patched her up and
disinfected the wounds so she
wouldn't die. she looked so fine.
(252): yet at the same time she
looked so bad. i don't want to know
what the hell they've been feeding
to her.
(919): I think you should get
some rest. With a bit of luck
tomorrow the guards will
come back and then...
John will send whoever
to come get me.
(919): I... I think I have an idea.
(919): I will talk to Stevie about
it in the morning.
(252): what idea?
(919): I'll give you the details
in the morning, after I talk
to her.
(919): But I might talk to
Michael first, before
doing so.
(252): why would you talk to
him? he's a fucking traitor
(252): he betrayed us to
save his ass.
(919): He might be in his
twenty's but he's still a child.
(919): Probably John and Co.
manipulated him into doing
whatever they asked and
threatened to kill him if
he didn't.
(919): I just need to try my
hardest and be very stubborn
so I can change his mind
and make him help us.
(252): i don't want his help.
(252): he can die, for all i care
(919): Rhett, stop it.
(919): He didn't know what he
was doing.
(252): that's not an excuse.
(252): i know you still consider
him a friend but stop defending
him when he literally sold me out.
(252): do you really care about
him more than me?
(919): I never said that.
(252): you don't need to
(252): trust me, you don't
(252): what is it, huh? is it
because he's young?
attractive? cute? the fuck
is it, link?
(919): What?? What are you
even talking about?
(919): Rhett, he's just a friend.
There's nothing going on.
(919): Please, get some rest.
You're obviously not
thinking straight.
(252): you've been defending
him since day one. you don't even
care i'm here, about to be these
fuckers' next feast.
(252): 'mike this, mike that'
(252): you say nothing's going
on but how true is that, link?
(252): spit it out already
(919): Rhett.
(919): There is nothing to spit.
There's literally nothing to admit.
(919): Please. Listen to me.
(919): I know you're angry, and you
feel helpless and powerless but
it's not fair that you take your
anger out on me.
(919): I don't deserve this.
(919): Get some rest. Go to sleep.
(919): We'll talk in the morning, yeah?
(252): sure, yeah
(252): after you're done fucking
with him, no?
(919): ...
(919): Goodnight, Rhett.
(252): bye
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(252): good morning
(919): Oh
(919): Good morning.
(919): You're up late this time.
(252): yeah i know
(252): i couldn't... exactly sleep
last night.
(252): well... not after thinking
how much of an idiot i am for
treating you like that
(252): hated myself for a little bit
(252): then i managed to fall
asleep around 5 am
(919): You hurt me again,
you know that?
(919): You hurt me a lot.
(252): i'm well aware of that
(252): you didn't deserve any of that
(919): I don't think I need to remind
you that I've had enough with my
ex-husband.
(919): I shouldn't remind you.
(252): i know
(252): i have no excuse except that
i was just very frustrated and
angry and
(919): You can still be frustrated and
angry and deal with it a different way
other than accusing your fiancé of
screwing around with other people.
(919): When you perfectly know that's
not true at all.
(919): Right?
(252): fuck
(252): i know, link
(252): i
(252): this is a lot, you know?
(919): It's a lot for me, too, Rhett.
(919): I've been kidnapped. Beat up.
Almost sold out for drugs.
(919): I know the frustration you're
experiencing because I experienced
it, too.
(252): yet i still threw my frustration
at you like if you were some kind of
punching bag
(252): fuck
(252): i'm so goddamn awful, blue
(252): i don't deserve you
(252): i'm an idiot and then i
(252): fuck
(919): You need to tell me how
you feel, Rhett.
(252): what do you mean
(919): Why do you feel the need
to treat my only friend like that?
(919): He's just a kid that doesn't
know what he got himself into.
(919): He wanted to survive just like
any of us and trusted the
wrong people.
(919): Rhett. I've seen the terror
in his eyes.
(919): He really didn't want any
of this to happen and I'm sure
he'll do whatever to have
your forgiveness.
(252): how are you so sure?
(919): Rhett... not again.
(252): just genuinely curious now
(252): you seem very sure so
(252): i just want to know, is all
(919): I just talked to him.
(252): really?
(919): Yeah.
(919): And he spat it all out.
(919): He's terrified, Rhett. And I
want to protect him.
(919): That's why I'll come get
you so I can sort things out
with John.
(919): If he doesn't cooperate,
I'll just blow his knees out.
(919): Feed him to the hunters,
like I already did before.
(252): ...
(252): listen to yourself...
(252): the one who was so
traumatized after blowing
someone's head off
(252): talking how he's going to
murder someone
(252): are you okay?
(252): since you slaughtered those
dudes back at that place you've
ended up talking about murder when
it came to dealing with things
(919): What about you?
(919): You wanted to kill Michael
for selling you out.
(252): link i wasn't serious at all
(252): i was angry and frustrated
(252): most damage i could've
done to him was beat the shit
outta him but he's just a stupid
kid who needs a good slap
on the face
(252): i wouldn't kill him
(252): but don't avoid the question link
(252): are you alright?
(919): Just stressed out, is all.
(252): when you're stressed you
think about killing people?
(919): Perhaps it has come to
that, I suppose.
(919): And by the way, Michael
wants to come with me.
(252): why would he?
(919): He wanted to talk to you
face to face. Probably to apologize
to you personally.
(919): But if things go down, he said
he would help us as well.
(252): he's just going to blow up
our cover.
(252): if he comes john's probably
gonna discover that we're trying to
run away from them
(252): he has guns, link
(919): So do we.
(919): We have ammo, pistols,
shotguns, blades.
(919): We aren't leaving unarmed.
(919): We're gonna go there, we're
gonna talk to John, and we'll take
you and Cassie out of there.
(252): you make it sound simple
(919): It will be simple if John
knows his place.
(919): It'll also be simple if I just
kill him.
(252): okay, stop it
(252): i know you're stressed out
and all but these murderous
plans you have, drop em
(252): i'm sure there's another way
other than... that one.
(252): plus, i feel rather uncomfortable
that my future husband is talking about
murdering someone
(252): it isn't right.
(252): you should only kill if you
really have to. if your life is in
terrible danger.
(919): It's kill or be killed,
but whatever you say,
I guess.
(919): I'll go talk to Stevie and
see if she has any plans at all.
(919): We could use her help.
(252): yes we could
(252): see? there are other
alternatives rather than straight
up murder, blue
(919): We'll see.
(919): Hey, been a while since
you've told me a joke.
(919): Why don't you tell me
one now?
(252): huh? oh sorry
(252): mmm
(252): got one that's perfect
for you
(919): Hit me
(252): what lies at the bottom of
the sea and twitches?
(919): Scary.
(919): I don't know, what?
(252): a nervous wreck
(919): Pft hahaha.
(919): Why did you say it was
perfect for me?
(252): well, you were a nervous
wreck when we first met
(252): you lied about the helicopter
and all cause you were scared of
meeting me
(919): Wow.
(919): Yeah, I was. How could
I forget about that?
(252): got another one
(252): what do you call a cheese
that's not yours
(919): A food one! Mm, food.
(919): Cheesenot? Not
(919): Cheese
(919): Um
(919): What is it lol
(252): nacho cheese
(919): What
(919): I don't think I get this one
(252): lol say it out loud
(919): Oh my gosh hahaha.
(919): That's a phrase I could use.
If you steal my cheese
(252): last one because i'm quite
blank today
(252): 'you know you're texting
too much when you say
lol instead of laughing'
(919): Hey!! No need to call me
out like that! Hahahaha.
(919): You've done it as well!
(252): :P
(252): did you say lol?
(919): Mmmm I did.
(919): But I also laughed!
(919): I did both things.
(252): heh
(252): talked to stevie yet?
(919): I'm having breakfast.
(919): Decided to try some ham today.
(252): not scared it might be
human ham?
(919): No way. Michael said we're
free from cannibals here.
(919): Free and save from them.
(919): So I really did end up missing
Josh's special baked chicken. Dang it.
(252): it's fine, i'm sure he'll
cook some more.
(919): Remember the farm we
stayed at? He gets the chickens
from there.
(252): BOCK BOCK BOCK
(252): really?
(919): Yeah!
(919): Since they don't have exactly
a proper place to raise chickens,
they're using that one quite
often to get their supplies.
(252): that's awesome but isn't it
quite far from cypress?
(919): It is, that's why they
leave them with a bunch of
food and water and they bring
a few with them to spend
a few weeks.
(252): these people think of everything,
don't they
(252): man
(252): can't wait to be there
(252): i would do anything for
some baked chicken right now
(252): i'm sick of eating cereal
and crackers
(252): but cassie must've had
it worse...
(252): fuck
(252): the more i think about it
the angrier i get
(252): these bitches cut her up
(919): We'll help her, Rhett. Together.
(919): And I can be her friend.
(252): really?
(252): wouldn't that be awkward?
she was my ex. you're my
future husband.
(252): god it's going to be even
more awkward she finding out
i'm gay
(919): I mean I think sooner or
later she'll have to know.
(919): I think the sooner the better.
(919): I'm not good with awkward
situations and you know that.
(919): Besides, in the future, that
will only be a funny memory to
laugh at.
(919): We need more of those.
(252): i guess you're right.
(252): she'll need prosthetics, once
this all ends.
(252): i wonder who could help her...
(919): We'll cross the bridge when
it comes to that, Rhett.
(919): For now, it's just waiting.
(919): Hold on.
(252): okay
(919): It was Stevie.
(919): The guards came back
with nothing.
(919): I'm going to talk to her
and try and make some good
plans to save you guys, alright?
(252): i can't wait to see you
(919): Me neither, love.
(919): I miss you so much.
(252): i miss you too. and i love
you too.
(252): i'm really sorry again for
being a complete jerk last night.
(919): It's okay, Rhett.
(919): Just... maybe try to control
yourself and not throw your anger
at me?
(919): Maybe?
(919): My brain can't exactly handle
you getting angry at me and accusing
me of stuff and... you know.
(252): i'm really sorry link
(252): i'm not going to excuse myself
so i'm really sorry
(252): i'll try to be better next time.
(252): but i hope there's no
next time.
(252): i shouldn't hurt you and
treat you like that. fuck.
(252): i'm so sorry, link
(919): Hey. It's alright. I know you are.
(919): And I forgive you.
(919): We'll talk later today, okay?
(919): Might take a while but if
you're bored don't hesitate
to spam me with messages.
(252): okay
(252): okay, yeah, i'll do that
(252): maybe that'll keep me
distracted for a while.
(252): Okay, good.
(252): good luck, babe

(252): are those handcuffs i see?
(919): Yeah
(919): Handcuffs, pistol, ammo, andsmall first aid kit.
(252): cool but why do youneed handcuffs
(919): Just in case someone wantsto get away.
(919): Michael wanted me to leavepeople's knees alone
(252): you still at it
(919): Not on purpose! It's like...it just comes out, alright?
(919): I don't plan on it 24/7.
(252): you better not
(919): It's just... don't judge me, but
(919): Doing bad things to bad peoplemakes me feel... good.
(919): Like I'm doing justice.
(252): you just get to their samelevel, link
(252): even if it makes youfeel good
(252): there are better ways todeal with bad people
(252): we talked about this
(919): I know... I know.
(919): I won't kill anybody unlessour life is in terrible danger.
(252): good.
(919): Okay, Alex's here.
(252): keep me updated about thisguy, yeah?
(919): Don't worry, I will.
(919): I'm concerned about himas well.
(919): Okay, he definitely has the lookyou accused Michael about.
(252): the 'i so wanna fuck you rightnow' kind of look?
(919): Yup
(252): smiling a lot at you and gettingclose to you?
(919): Exactly.
(919): I'm very uncomfortable.
(919): Michael stood up for me.Thank god.
(252): oh, that's good
(252): glad mike's doing somethinggood for once
(919): Give him a break.
(919): Alex's so chatty.
(252): yeah? what's he saying?
(919): Interesting stuff, actually.
(919): Says John's kinda shady, andJen sometimes disappears duringthe day without saying anything.
(919): Says she's seen her lock thebasement whenever she got outof it.
(919): Rhett, I have a feeling Alexisn't aware of John's true nature.
(252): are you sure?
(252): can you use your specialsenses and try to guess if he'slying or not?
(919): Lol what are you talking about?
(919): You mean making eye contactwith him while he's telling me allthis stuff?
(252): yeah
(919): I don't know, the way helooks at me makes meuncomfortable.
(919): But I'll try.
(919): Ugh.
(919): I don't know Rhett. He's plowingme with his eyes. It's embarrassing.
(252): guess this guy hasn't gottenany laid since this all started, lol
(919): Rhett, please! I'm dying here!
(252): sorry
(252): don't worry babe, it's gonnabe fine
(252): doesn't really matter if thisguy's aware or not
(252): what matters is that y'allget here safely.
(252): but be sure to take smallbreaks from time to time
(252): you need energy if youneed to run
(919): Hopefully I don't have to.
(919): Okay. There's silence now.
(919): Casually looked around and Ispotted Stevie not very far. That galneeds to hide better.
(252): god, she does, the hell
(252): can you text her and tell herto hide better
(919): I already told her.
(919): I think it's her blonde hair.
(252): it's so blonde ain't it??
(919): Not to mention pale.
(919): Almost like a vampire.
(252): hmm
(252): vampires in a zombie apocalypse
(252): now that would be very weird
(252): i wonder how wouldvampires survive?
(919): I think they would have itextremely difficult.
(252): yeah, think so too
(252): i don't think hunter blood isvery tasty. maybe it could makethem sick, too.
(252): finding humans would be verytricky as well.
(252): probably they would grab a fewand lock them away. feed themselveswith their blood from time to timeto survive
(252): personal stash, you know?
(919): Mm. Maybe.
(919): I think they would have iteasier at night, cause hunters'sight is pretty screwed.
(919): Not to mention that theywould be faster?
(919): Vampires are very sneaky,aren't they?
(252): yeah
(252): sneaky and seductive
(252): i think they would survivethe apocalypse just fine if theywere smart about it, lol
(252): kinda wish we werevampires now
(919): Aren't vampires dead, though?
(919): How would we... you know?
(252): what, have sex?
(252): i think they have powers for that
(252): how else would prince lestatfuck
(919): You're talking about Queen ofthe Damned?
(252): lol, i mean
(252): sure but i was thinking aboutinterview with the vampire, more like
(919): Pretty sure he didn't use powersfor that.
(919): I don't remember much, either way.
(252): i think powers are involvedwhen sex happens
(252): cause there are definitelya lot of vampire sex out there, lol
(252): but i think drinking blood wouldremove our desires of sexual intercourse
(919): Well, that's disappointing.
(252): lol, now you don't want to bea vampire because we wouldn't fuckthat much?
(919): I mean, the two times I did itwith you, I loved it so much. And Idon't want that to be taken awayfrom me.
(252): babe it's not like we're gonnaturn into vampires
(252): vampires don't even exist
(252): you'll be fine and we'll haveas much sex as you want
(919): Can't believe I seriously gotdisappointed and sad over this.
(252): hahahaha
(252): cute
(252): if you were a vampire though,how would you be?
(252): i mean, appearance and all that?
(919): Mmm.
(919): I think I would either go to myold hairstyle, somewhat longwith wings, or styled backwards.
(919): Red eyes, black sclera.
(252): YOU HAD WINGS?
(919): Oh, yeah.
(919): But no one took me seriously,so I clipped them.
(252): oh my fucking god
(252): do you have a pic?
(252): wait, you don't
(919): I don't, this is not my phone.
(919): But I'm pretty sure I have somepics back at NC.
(919): We could do a trip to my houseand I could show you.
(252): orrrr you could let your hairgrow and let those wingsspread out again.
(919): Gosh, no, lol
(919): I looked like a kid.
(252): bet you looked adorable
(252): i can already picture you, omg
(919): Stop! LOL
(919): How would you look?
(252): hair styled up
(252): golden eyes
(252): huuuuuge fangs
(919): You wouldn't be able to speakproperly if you had huge fangs
(252): fine, normal-ish fangs
(252): but very sharp
(252): and i would sink them intoyour sink and drink your blood
(919): Wouldn't that make you sick?Drink another vampire's blood.
(252): dunno
(252): but if i were a vampire iwould definitely do it
(252): more than once
(252): i think it would be arousingfor me, even
(919): You perverted dork
(252): says the one worried about nothaving sex if we were vampires, LOL
(919): Listen! Vampire or not Ihave needs I must take care of!
(919): Besides, you'd be the onemore frustrated.
(919): You were annoyed by the factthat I had fapping material andyou got nothing.
(252): i can only do so muchwith my hand
(252): but you're right
(252): i think i'd fall into despairsooner than you would
(919): Good God.
(252): now, what kind of powerswould you have?
(919): Maybe... transformation?
(252): into what?
(919): I don't know.
(919): Maybe into the usual bat.
(252): booooring
(919): Oh come on dude.
(919): Alright then, what would youtransform yourself in?
(252): huge wolf
(252): A WARG
(919): What's a warg?
(252): those big wolves fromgame of thrones
(252): they're sooo big
(919): Oh! That's an interesting choice.
(919): I think I'd stay with the bat, though.
(919): It's convenient and I can flyanywhere I want.
(252): yeah but they're small and theycan't do much
(252): wargs are so big they couldcrush ya
(252): fierce like a wolf
(252): grrrr rawr
(919): I can't believe you just did that.
(252): i said it in real life too
(919): Gosh, hahaha.
(919): You dork.
(919): Well, we won't always agreeon something.
(919): Hope that doesn't bother youtoo much.
(252): nah it doesn't
(252): if you like bats then just gofor it, lol
(252): how about a strong bat
(252): you can pick me up and flyme somewhere i can't reach
(919): Mmm. Guess I could do that.
(919): And if I happen to be tired of flying,I can just chill on your back and youcan carry me.
(252): oh that'd be soooooo cute
(252): tiny bat on my back!!
(919): I think despite the size difference,we'd be great buddies.
(252): i thought we would bebuddies already
(919): But animal brains and human brainsaren't the same. Wouldn't be differentif we transformed?
(252): it's fantasy link, oh my god
(252): even if we transformed we'dstill be ourselves
(919): I don't know anything aboutfantasy. Except for Harry Potter stuff.
(252): it's levioooosa notleviosaaaaaaaa
(919): Shut up, you filthy little mudblood.
(252): you hurt my feelings :(
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(252): hey how's it going?
(252): how close are you?
(252): been a couple of hours now
(919): I think we're close by, but
we still have an hour or two
to arrive.
(919): Less if we don't take any
more breaks from now on.
(252): i'd prefer if you rested
(919): I know, Michael and I agreed
to that.
(919): Alex didn't like the idea much
cause being outside freaks him out.
(919): Told us that ever since the hunters
got his best friend and was unable to
save him, he wasn't willing to go out.
(919): Saying he was lucky to have
found John and Jen.
(252): oh man
(252): maybe he really isn't aware
of those two's true nature
(919): Who knows.
(919): I did feel pity for him, though.
Said it happened when the apocalypse
started, but still haven't gotten over it.
(252): i don't think i would get over
losing my best friend, either
(252): and in those circumstances, too
(252): poor guy
(252): but he looked fine to me here?
(919): Maybe being outside just
reminds him of that day. I
don't know.
(252): hmn
(919): We just heard a thump
(919): Hold on.
(252): be careful blue
(252): everything alright?
(252): ...
(252): link?
(919): Sorry, here
(919): Came from behind us.
(919): I hope Stevie and Josh are okay.
(252): message stevie
(919): I know
(919): ...
(919): She's not replying.
(252): oh fuck
(252): can you put up an excuse of
taking a leak and check around?
(919): I don't think so.
(919): Alex would question why am I
backtracking so much.
(919): And for sure I wouldn't know
how to reply.
(919): We gotta keep moving, Alex is
feeling very freaked out.
(919): We're rushing now and Stevie
is still not replying to me.
(252): maybe she's just hiding, give
her 10 minutes at least
(919): Goddamnit.
(919): I hope she's okay. Alex's freak out
is contagious and now I feel anxious.
(252): don't let it get to you, blue
(252): remember to take deep breaths
(252): i know the situation doesn't
feel very good right now but try to
think about something else
(919): Trying to.
(252): let me distract you for a little bit
(252): why don't you tell me more about
the people at cypress?
(919): Like who?
(252): whoever you want
(919): Um.
(919): Emily's funny. She's quite pretty, too.
(919): She's often with Jordan and they
make jokes together. Her laugh
is contagious.
(919): She has very nice hair too.
Orange/Red. It suits her.
(252): yeah?
(252): do you get along with her?
(919): I think I do. She gave me an apple
without me asking for it or anything.
(919): Just gave it to me.
(252): i guess she gets along with you
(252): what about that guy jordan?
(252): what do you think about him?
(919): He sometimes makes very
disturbing jokes and I have this
very weirded out face but I guess
that's just his humor.
(919): He's smaller than me, a little round.
(919): Very smiley.
(919): Actually he looks a clown actor.
(252): a clown actor
(252): wat
(919): You know, show clowns. But without
makeup or wigs?
(252): i don't think i get you
(919): Nevermind.
(919): Despite his dark humor he's a very
fine dude. I think I get along with him, too.
(252): that's great, you're getting along
with people
(252): maybe they'll become your friends
once this whole mess ends
(919): If it ends...
(252): babe
(252): it's going to end
(252): i'm sure this cannibal issue isn't
going to last forever
(252): besides, you guys are there to
rescue me and we'll deal with it, aren't we?
(919): Yeah.
(252): everything's going to be okay
(252): trust me, okay?
(919): Okay.
(252): tell me more, come on
(252): are there any animals in there?
(919): Unfortunately no. Which is kinda sad.
(919): Would've said something if there were
animals here, though.
(252): mm, you're right
(252): i know you would freak out, haha
(919): Seeing animals that aren't birds is
very rare, nowdays.
(252): yup
(252): you said there was another
girl there, didn't you?
(252): uhh elly?
(919): Ellie
(919): I haven't talked to her much.
(919): She's mostly minding her own
business or chatting with Emily.
(919): So I don't know about her.
(252): and you don't know anything
about kevin either
(919): I don't.
(919): Why don't you tell me something?
(919): How's that book of poems you
started reading?
(252): oh, it's going great
(252): there's one that i really like,
let me type it up for you
(252) "this is the press of a bashful
hand, this the float and odor of hair.
this the touch of my lips to yours,
this the murmur of yearning.
this the far-off depth and height
reflecting my own face.
this the thoughtful merge of myself,
and the outlet again."
(919): Huh.
(919): It sounds quite desperate to me.
(919): Why do you like it so much?
What does it mean for you?
(252): i can't exactly tell cause i don't
even know myself but
(252): i just like it a lot
(252): maybe i just like the way
everything sounds
(252): dunno
(252): i even dog-ear'ed, lol
(919): Mm. Maybe you'll eventually
find out why do you like it so much
once you read that book a few times.
(252): maybe.
(252): any news about stevie?
(919): None.
(919): Ugh.
(919): I feel like it's hard to breathe, Rhett.
(252): babe, it's going to be okay, trust me
(252): maybe she forgot about her phone
and is just... very focused on keeping you
two safe.
(919): I keep looking back hoping to see
her but I just see tree's and
just... nothingness.
(919): I don't even see Josh.
(252): can't you contact josh?
(919): No, I don't have his phone number.
(919): He didn't have a phone or anything.
(252): maybe she's still hiding, i
don't know
(252): but try to keep it cool for me,
okay blue?
(919): Trying my best here.
(252): why don't you hum to yourself?
(252): maybe singing something helps
(919): Last time someone sang in the
middle of this mess, they almost
got killed.
(252): mmm kinda hoping you would
forget about that
(919): No way.
(919): I keep everything in mind, Rhett.
(919): I'm not going to do something that
will put my life in danger.
(252): i didn't tell you to sing out
loud, gosh
(252): just hum to yourself
(252): maybe something from merle?
(919): Suggest me a song?
(252): do you know mama tried?
(919): That's a good one.
(919): Happy tune, too.
(919): Even if the lyrics are quite... sad.
(919): I think that will help.
(919): The tune, I mean.
(919): I can try to hum the guitar solo.
(919): I like the guitar solo.
(252): heh
(252): i like it too, babe
(252): and i turned tweny-one in prison
doing life without parooole
(919): No one could steer me right, but
Mama Tried, Mama Tried~
(919): I still remember how freaked out
you got when I told you Merle
Haggard was my favorite, too.
(252): listen!
(252): i thought you were just screwing
around, trying to... i dunno
(252): trust you or something
(919): You thought I would trick you?
(252): i mean i dunno, maybe
(252): i had a lotta conflicted
feelings okay!!
(252): besides it's in the past already
(252): why bother worrying about it
(919): Oh, it doesn't bother me. I just
think it's fun to remember.
(252): hasn't been that long, either
(252): we really clicked, now that I
think about it.
(919): Similar tastes and all that,
I'd say.
(919): Plus your desperate need of
human communication.
(252): yeah, hahaha
(252): it still feels like i've known
you forever, though
(252): yet i still discover new things
about you almost every day
(252): it's amazing
(919): Happy to know I still surprise you.
(919): Oh Goodness, I see the house.
(252): yeah??
(252): hold on let me peek out
(919): You won't see us yet.
(919): It's dark, you dork
(252): i'm still doing it
(252): okay can't see shit
(252): hold on i see a light
(919): My phone!
(252): AAAAAHH
(252): I SEE YOU OMG I SEE YOU
(919): I can't see you!
(252): you're looking at the top floor
(252): i'm at the bottom
(252): look to the your left
(919): Ah, I see your screen light!
(252): this is so exciting, omg
(252): i'm just going to tackle you and
squish you and just
(252): i mean, after i'm out of here
(252): but i wanna do that soooo bad
(919): Me too, love.
(252): ah john's calling me
(252): okay
(252): i guess this is it
(919): The moment of keeping ourselves
focused so we don't commit any
mistakes and die in the process.
(252): yup
(252): fuck, i'm nervous now, too
(252): but i trust it's going to be okay
(919): I hope it does.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Whatever happensDon't stop running.Don't even look backAnd most importantly,don't worry about me.We survived being apart,and we'll survive again.
Everything will be okay.Trust me.
(919): My head hurts a lot...
(919): Rhett? Are you there?
(919): I don't know where I am.
(919): The sweater... it's all ripped.
(919): I don't remember whathappened to me.
(919): I just
(919): I remember running away.
(919): I got stuck on somethingand I tried to unstuck myself.
(919): Maybe the sweater got stuckon a tree or a fence or
(919): I don't know.
(919): Then I felt something hardagainst my head.
(919): Everything faded to black.
(919): It's cold here. But it's dark.
(919): I can't see anything at all.
(919): I can't hear anything either.
(919): Just the sound of my voice.It's echo-y.
(919): I'm scared. It's so dark.
(919): I found a door.
(919): It's locked. Doesn't budge evenif I kick it.
(919): Oh god. This is a very small room.
(919): It's too small.
(919): Oh god. Oh god.
(919): I want out of here I want out
(919): This is too small
(919): oh god
(919): Rhett?
(919): I'm scared
(919): I can't get out of here
(919): I have trouble breathing
(919): Deep breaths. Deep breaths, Link.
(919): This is all my fault. Because Itied the sweater around mywaist. AGAIN.
(919): I'm such an idiot.
(919): I'm going to try and call.
(919): It didn't go through.
(919): Oh god. I have no service.
(919): Oh god.
(919): I shouldn't have listened toyou, goddamnit!
(919): I should've stayed with youand Michael and Alex!
(919): Fuck
(919): FUCK!
(919): I'm so mad at myself!
(919): I should've learned thelesson by now.
(919): Last time I left you alone youwere freaking kidnapped and nowthe freaking kidnapped is me!!
(919): You're not even receivingthese messages.
(919): But I'm here, still typing, hopingI'll magically have service again andall these messages will go through.
(919): My head hurts a lot. It's banging.
(919): I shouldn't have tied the sweateraround me.
(919): I shouldn't have.
(919): God
(919): Damn it.
(919): How stupid can I be?
(919): I need to calm myself.
(919): But it's so hard.
(919): This room is small. I can'thear anything.
(919): If the flashlight didn't takeso much of my battery I woulduse it.
(919): God.
(919): I'm so dizzy.
(919): I'm gonna keep trying to kickthe door open.
(919): Goddamnit.
(919): It doesn't budge at all.
(919): I must be underground. If I haveno service I must be underground.
(919): That or I'm in a verysecluded building.
(919): I don't fucking know.
(919): Why am I still texting you?This doesn't make any sense.
(919): They don't even reach you.
(919): I hope you're okay.
(919): I hope you gave John a lesson.
(919): Oh god. I completely forgot aboutStevie and Josh. I didn't see them in theend and she didn't reply to me in the end.
(919): Fuck.
(919): I hope you all are okay.
(919): I hope... this is just a nightmare.
(919): No one can be this unlucky,can they?
(919): I need to calm myself.
(919): I'm gonna put my phone down.
(919): Then I'll try to reach around.
(919): Maybe there's a corner withservice or something.
(919): Ugh.
(919): I'm gonna put my phonedown for real now.
(919): I need to calm down.
(919): I can't breathe.
(919): I'm freezing.
(919): I'm curled up in a corner.
(919): I'm not able to get any service.
(919): Yet I keep texting you.
(919): Thinking I'll get some sort ofreply, eventually.
(919): I'm really scared.
(919): I don't want to die.
(919): We were supposed to livegood. Have a good life. Havea daughter.
(919): A daughter and a small dog.
(919): We were supposed to behappy in Cypress.
(919): Why is this happening?
(919): Why does everything go wrong?
(919): I don't know what to do.
(919): I kicked and punched the door.I yelled.
(919): All for nothing.
(919): I feel like my head will explode.
(919): I wish I had some painkillers.
(919): Shit.
(919): I'm going to lay down again.
(919): Everything hurts.
(919): I... I think I fainted.
(919): It's 9 in the morning.
(919): I still have no service...
(919): Why do I keep doing this?I should stop. I need the batteryin case... something happens.
(919): But I can't stop myself.I can't.
(919): Fuck
(919): It's so cold. I can't stop shivering.
(919): My stomach just growledso loud it echoed.
(919): I'm laughing like a maniac now.
(919): Just great. Freezing andnow I'm hungry.
(919): I wish I had some Frosted Mini-Wheats.
(919): I wish I had anything at all.
(919): I wonder if someone came,while I was fainted...
(919): I don't know if I would haveheard them.
(919): If someone came...
(919): Fuck. Thinking about itterrifies me. They could'vedone anything to me.
(919): Would have I noticed ifthey did...?
(919): I have to stop. I'm givingmyself terrible anxiety.
(919): I know these messagesaren't reaching you but... I stillhope you're okay.
(919): You can't die. You're not allowedto die yet.

(919): Maybe I'll sing to myself.
(919): There are no hunters here.I'll be okay.
(919): Maybe I can compose somelyrics. But... that would behard without an instrument.
(919): Did you know I know howto play the harmonica andthe recorder?
(919): I don't recall telling you butI'm quite decent at it.
(919): We could compose songstogether once we're okay.

(919): Then I put it under my headand slept.
(919): Nobody came.
(919): Hold on...
(919): I think I can hear someone.

(919): I hope you're looking for us.
(919): Please. Don't die. Be careful.
(919): I'll put my phone down againand keep her entertained. She needs it.
(919): Cassie's a good gal. I like her.
(919): I ended up telling her what'sgoing on between us. Sorry.
(919): But she didn't take it so bad.I think she's very okay with it.
(919): At least she sounded likeshe was.
(919): And at least there won'tbe any awkwardness.
(919): She laughed when I said youwere gay. Or bisexual at least.
(919): Caught her by surprise.
(919): I'm happy I made her laugh.
(919): Laugh is needed in situationslike these.
(919): She told me a few things too.Bout how it is to live with you.
(919): To which made me excited.
(919): She then... got sad. Anxious.
(919): Said we wouldn't gonnaget out of here alive.
(919): She broke in tears.
(919): I tried to convince her we weregoing to be fine. I don't know ifI succeeded.
(919): She's resting now.
(919): We're both so hungry. I hopeshe doesn't hear my stomach grumbling.
(919): It would be very embarrassing.
(919): I think I will rest as well. Myhead's starting to hurt again.
(919): I love you.
(919): Rhett.
(919): I woke up hearing noises.
(919): I hear

(919): Everything is quiet now.
(919): I'm terrified.
(919): I don't even dare to breathe.
(919): I think I have an idea.
(919): If they open the door, I'llrun out. Or try to.
(919): I'll push whoever's behindthe door and just bolt with Cassie.
(919): We're not staying here.

without worrying too much, now
(252): i mean, we'll still be careful
if there's a hoard of them
(252): but they have no brains
(252): they can't think straight
(252): they're dangerous but they
can only do so much
(252): we can deal with them
(252): and be weary of humans
(252): because humans are the
most dangerous monsters in
these circumstances
(919): You've been reading that
poetry book, huh?
(252): oh wow
(252): did it sound poetic?

sound poetic but it's not wrong

got here
(252): had to entertain myself somehow
from spamming your phone

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
(919): Rhett!
(919): Love, I'm very close.
(252): holy shit you are?
(252): oh god
(252): i need to get presentable for you
(252): brush my hair
(252): i have to at least look decent
(919): Omg
(919): Hahaha
(919): Hey, you already look good
enough for me.
(919): Honestly I've never seen you
ugly at all. Even if you didn't shower
for a whole week.
(919): I'd still think you're good looking.
(252): what about the smell though
(252): i get really sweaty, you know that
(919): It's just body fluids. Sweat
doesn't hurt.
(919): Besides, I don't mind it, either.
(919): Rhett. You're fine.
(919): Don't worry about it.
(252): but what if i do look ugly
and i scare you off
(919): Rhett McLaughlin.
(919): How many times do I have to
tell you that I don't care, lol.
(919): However you are, you're fine.
(919): And there's no way you could
scare me off.
(919): We've been together!
(919): Stop doubting so much, haha.
(252): okay, i'll believe you
(252): but i'll brush my hair at least
(252): maybe style it up
(252): chase gave me hair gel since
mine ran out
(252): and... maybe change my clothes
(919): Rhett, please.
(919): Hahahahaha.
(919): You're such a dork.
(252): but you love me, don't cha!
(919): I really do.
(919): Ah... crap.
(919): We still have our stuff in that
small house we stayed at.
(252): the one where i ran off like an
idiot under the downpour?
(919): Yup.
(919): Your guitar, my backpack.
(252): oh shit you is right
(252): we gotta go back there eventually
before someone comes and steals those
(919): Mmm I don't think they
would, though.
(919): I mean. They would probably
playing a guitar out in the open
is dangerous.
(919): And that backpack... doesn't
precisely have survival tools.
(252): just tools for entertainment
(919): Yup, exactly.
(919): Unless whoever stumbles
upon it is desperately desperate.
(252): which is entirely possible
(252): still, it's our stuff
(252): we should go get it as soon
as we can
(919): Yeah. You're right.
(919): By the way did you manage
to get properly clean?
(252): uhhhhh i think so
(252): just stained my stomach and
i just cleaned myself with the sheet
(919): then i went to wash my hands
(252): i think i'm 100% clean
(252): i mean
(252): my tummy smells a little bit
(252): but
(252): maybe i can put hair gel on it???
(919): What
(252): the hair gel has a scent to it, no?
(252): maybe it'll cover it
(919): Only you could come up with
such a thing, hahahaha.
(919): Hair gel is meant for hair, Rhett.
Not for the skin. Be careful.
(252): i guess so
(252): but no one has to smell my tummy
(252): maybe i'll be fine
(252): yeah
(252): i'll be fine
(919): You dork. Hahahaha.
(919): Aw, Alex just said "he's the perfect
man for you if he makes you laugh
this much".
(919): He ain't wrong though!
(252): heh, you flatter me.
(252): i don't think i'm THAT perfect
considering
(252): uh
(252): certain events
(252): but i do try my best and i love
you to bits
(252): that's what matters, right?
(919): Of course, my sweet love.
(919): As long as you're willing
to cooperate, listen, and treat
me well. I'm not going anywhere.
(919): I hope you don't go anywhere,
either. Not again.
(252): not again
(252): i'm not leaving your side ever
again, that only brought us problems
(252): we'll stick together, go
places together.
(252): i think i'll go mad if i lose you again
(919): I don't think I could take
it, either...
(919): Not saying I would... you know.
(919): Do something stupid.
(919): But yeah.
(919): I wouldn't be the same.
(919): I'm actually scared I could
become unhealthy possessive
towards you.
(252): ... do you think i'm like that?
(919): How?
(252): unhealthy possessive
(252): considering how i got with michael
(252): kid didn't do anything wrong and yet
i treated him like horseshit
(252): am i like that?
(919): I think that was just pure
jealousy, Rhett.
(919): Something you need to start
learning to control so no arguments
can happen again.
(919): I appreciate you caring about
me and worrying about me but.
(252): yeah don't... don't remind me.
(252): i think i learned my lesson
(252): still, i'll try my best to behave
better towards people. towards you.
(252): promise.
(919): Good boy.
(919): Hey.
(919): I got a joke for ya.
(252): oh wow. reminds me i haven't
joked in a while
(252): okay hit me
(919): Knock knock.
(252): who's there?
(252): oh wait
(252): holy shit
(252): I'M COMING BLUE
(919): Hahahahaha
(919): Kinda glad the dinner was
more cheerful.
(919): My throat hurts after
sobbing so much.
(252): yeah, same
(252): i still have this knot in my
throat and it hurts a little
(252): michael had a good burial
(252): he deserved it for being
a good boy
(919): He really did.
(919): I hope we can fetch some
flowers to leave at his grave.
(252): i'm sure we can, eventually
(919): Ahh. So full and tired. Gosh.
(919): And you kept eating so much!
You even ate Chase's and Stevie's
left overs!
(252): listen!
(252): i'm a big man
(252): i have a big tummy
(252): i need a lot of food! more food
than usual people eat.
(252): i also get hungrier!
(252): i think i'm still hungry but
i think it's just my imagination
(919): Gosh. No more eating for you.
(919): You'll be the one with the
exploding stomach in the end,
hahahaha.
(252): hmmnggg i guess so.
(252): why do you keep groaning
though, blue?
(919): I think a piece of chicken
is stuck in my teeth.
(919): It's really bothering me and
I can't get it with my nails.
(252): oh, damn. i hate that. i
experienced that too many times.
(252): good luck, blue
(252): lol
(919): It literally hurts! So much!
(919): Having something between your
teeth is the worst.
(252): definitely
(252): don't worry, you'll get it
(252): i'd help you but
(252): i don't even have nails
(252): i mean i do lol
(252): just not as long as yours
(252): or maybe you can use
a pick or something
(252): i'll go get one for you
(919): Yeah sure.
(919): Mmm.
(919): Love the way you just smooch
me when you leave. It's so nice.
(919): Makes me forget about this
for at least a bit, lol.
(919): Hold on I think I almost got it.
(252): yeah?
(252): hey you got it! congrats!
(252): what's up
(252). why are you making that face
(919): This...
(919): This is not a piece of chicken.
(252): huh
(919): ...
(919): ... This is a finger nail.
(252): holy fuck
(252): oh my god

cooking skills WHAT THE FUCK

(252): stay there, i'm going to fucking
kill that bastard
(919): NO
(919): We just agreed on staying together.
(919): I'm not going to leave your side.
(919): Not again. So drop that idea
right fucking now.
(252): ... alright, fine.
(252): let's get stevie and teach that
bitch a lesson.
(252): together. no more separating.
(919): This is the best idea you
got so far.
(252): i'm offended
(919): I still think we should've hit
him harder or something
(919): Maybe make him lose a few
more teeth.
(919): Maybe an eye...
(252): i know. but it's over now.
(252): he's out and he's not coming back.
(919): I can't fucking believe that asshole
made us... oh god.
(919): I feel so sick
(919): Oh god
(919): Mike
(919): Michael
(919): Oh my fucking god
(252): babe. no. please calm down
(252): he didn't make us eat michael
(252): michael's body was fine.
there wasn't anything missing
from him.
(252): maybe it was someone else.
not from here though.
(252): trust me. no one is missing,
stevie checked.

your phone to the bathroom, babe
(919): Then how am I supposed to
keep talking to you.

(919): Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
(252): you feel cozy now?
(919): Mm. Yeah.
(919): I missed cuddling you.

hair while you got your head on
my chest.
(252): i missed you so much, link
(919): I missed you too.
(252): by the way... i think it's time

(252): you ready?
(252): it means...
(252): i love you

what it meant and that's why you liked
it so much, becoming your favorite.

(919): I love you too, Rhett.
(919): Always.
