“Opp! Got to go!“ “but its only 8-”
“Ah gee look at that time! I best go!” “”hu? But-!”
“Sorry I should go!” “yuu?”
“Hu? Oh!? No sorry! I can’t do sleepovers!” yuu said rushing away, seeing the time was 8 “but have fun!” yuu said holding grim as they rushed back to ramshackle. Yuu looked at the clock seeing it was 11:30 pm they put the sleeping grim into an empty room, locking it and hiding the keys along with keys locking the outside doors into a box. before sitting in the lounge and staring at a clock. When the clock hit 12, yuu held their stomach in pain they were extremely hungry “god… i’m starving here… this wouldn't be a problem back home… i can’t bring myself to hurt them…” yuu mumbled to themself looking to the side as their brain started to fog up a haze waved over yuu and they started to feel like their body moved involuntarily and their mind blank as the clock hit 1am.
But down the hall Ace held a hand over his mouth with a night camera that he got for idia sat on his head. He quietly heard Yuu shuffling and growning a bit as they moved slowly down the hall towards him. Ace quickly rushed away and texted for help. Ace quietly went to Yuu’s room and spotted an opened book on the bed. Ace carefully picked it up to read.
This is so stupid! Magic and this damn world sucks! It’s all because of magic! This fucking cures that dambed lady put on me as a baby! I thought i was safe but it just was cause of no magic… the ghosts told me i was acting like a zombie.. I bit grim apparently, but he didn’t remember it. But he has been complaining his neck hurt like it was smashed by a hammer. I’ll just lock myself in the dorm and hide grim from myself.
Ace heard a crash and a howling sound ace took the book and ran off. Seeing epel helping up jack with sebek and deuce was glancing down the hall. “Ace!” deuce wiper yelled as he ran over ”shh!” ace said rushing over. “Guys, i found out something.. About Yuu. here.” ace held out the book so they read it. All terrified “their-” epel was cut off by a growl, turning they saw Yuu stumbling down the hall. "Yes. Now come on!" Ace said as he helped them get Jack away. "Hold on so Yuu is cerused to be a zombie?” deuce asked once they got far enough “yes. Now we need to find away out or a away to hide.
After about an hour of hiding they went to move somewhere else but jack had sprained his ankle so he told the other to leave him. And sebek was going to see if any of the windows would open. Ace was looking for the keys with epel when they heard Deuce scream “deuce!” ace yelled the two running back to where they heard him scream seeing a dazed Jack and Yuu. Yuu biting into Deuce’s shoulder holding him tightly. Jack saw them and tried to go after them but just tripped. epel tugged on Ace’s arm to pull him away. “Grate 7! We lost Jack and Deuce!” ace shouted once they ran far enough. “I know we need to find away out or wait.. I hope they’ll be ok…” epel mumbled as they got to the kitchen. Seeing a box they rummaged through it seeing multiple kyes. Ace rummaged through them and looked for one that had the same pattern as the door lock. “ got it!” he said turning back after closing the box “theres two kyes so lets get sebek and the others.” ace said pulling on epels hand.
Down one of the corridors they found sebek was digging around in a box. “Sebek! We need to get jack and deuce and get out of here” epel said as they heard a bumping down the hall seeing deuce. sebek thought of a plan. “i have an idea. Ace grab this rope and follow me. Epel stay here and get deuce’s attention.” epel nodded and did as told and yelled loudly deuce slowly approached sebek started out wrapping deuce in the rope. “One down one left.” ace said tying the rope, epel taped his head before saying “i’ll go find him and run here, so get ready for jack.” he rushed away before the other could say anything. Sebek got another rope and the two held the rope across the hall to stop jack. It was about 5 minutes before epel rushed over with jack stumbling around after him. Ace pulled the rope and caught jack before the sebek tied him up. “Now lets go.” ace said as epel and sebek pulled them to the door. Ace opened it and locked it behind them. “Lets get to sebek’s place. It’ll be easter to deal with them there” epel said sebek nodded “ok, good luck Yuu” ace mumbled.
By morning Jack and Deuce were back to normal, but they felt like their necks were being ripped to shreds and they couldn’t talk for the whole day. Of course yuu questioned it, but they made an excuse of they forgot to drink water for the whole day and trake destroyed them.
