Chapter Text
The next day everyone was nervous. They know that they have to go outside again just to retrieve the things they collected at the store. No one actually wants to do it and that's understandable after everything they went through but there's no other way.
They sat once again in the living room to decide who is going. Everyone agreed that it is wise that only half of the group will go so that the ones, who stayed in the house, will open the door when they're done. After they have been debating for a while on who's going and who's staying they decided that Chris, Jesy, Sofia, Sam, Ivan will go and Perrie, Charlie, Jade, Leigh will stay in the house.
The group, that has to go outside, prepared themselves and stood by the door. They looked at each other before putting the blindfolds over their eyes as if to reassure each other that everything will be fine and that this will go smoothly.
Already knowing which direction the car is they ran to to where it's located. Once they reached it they all tried to open the trunk, where everything was sitting waiting to be retrieved. But even with the help of all five people the trunk wouldn't open. So Chris decided to find the handle on his own.
He walked forward while using his hands to get a feel of what's in his way. It seems like no one noticed he wandered off.
He was blindly searching for the handle inside the car and after a while he finally found it and pulled at it. Unexpectedly he felt someone ripping his blindfold off and forced his eyes to open. To his horror he saw the creature. Seconds passed but to him it felt like an eternity. He could feel his hand moving. It seems as if he has no control over his body anymore. He picked up a shattered glass and stabbed himself.
An eery silence washed over them and Sofia felt uneasy. She stopped with collecting the goods and tilted her head up. Something felt wrong so she used the car to guide her to walk forward and tried to sense what's happening around her. After hearing nothing she shrugged of the uneasiness and started to walk back to the others. But someone forcefully grabbed onto her face and Sofia could feel that the person wanted to get rid of her blindfold. She started screaming but a hand muffled it.
Meanwhile, Jesy was busy gathering things as quickly as she could while being blindfolded, not knowing what was happening around her. Suddenly she heard a scream and she stood straight and whipped her head to try to sense what happened.
Knowing it's useless she asked "What is happening?!"
She could feel hands pushing her and heard someone telling her to go back to the house. She hurriedly grabbed the bags and ran inside. The door was already open when she arrived.
After the door was closed she panicked and asked what happened. She firmly held her blindfold in her hands and tears were threatening to fall. She looked around and saw that Sofia and Chris weren't among them.
"Where's Sofia and Chris?!! Omg don't tell me, don't tell me" she cried as she leaned against the wall.
She couldn't grasped what exactly happened to them out there and asked again "Did the creature get them? Please say no. Omg we need to save them please. "
She was hysterically crying at this point.
Sam and Ivan were also hyperventilating and the rest are silently crying. Just like that they probably lost two people.
Ivan couldn't deal with all the crying and his emotions were also a mess so he excused himself to the bathroom. They all weakly nodded. He stood up and walked over to the bathroom.
While he was inside he locked the door and went over to the mirror. He slowly washed his hands and splashed some water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror while a ghost of a smile appeared on his face. There was something unreadable in his eyes...
