Ivan Beck and Priestess somehow found themselves in a cave together, the two having bonded over the past few hours as they explored the weird place called "The Backrooms". Ivan did find the backrooms, but he didn't know about any extra levels! And Priestess just did not give a fuck. She was just rambling about 'Doctor'.
"Priestess, if I hear one more word about Doctor, I will sacrifice you to whatever's in here. Do not fucking try me." Ivan said, smiling brightly, his hands clasped together as he walked down a steep part of the cave system.
"But, Ivan, Dokutah is so cute and precious and would never ever hurt a fly!!!" Priestess continued her rambling, and Ivan could not give less of a FUCK about DOCTOR. Ivan huffed, jumping down into the same puddle of water they've looped back to a hundred times by now. "Gosh, it'd sure be nice to see someone else in this fuckass cave!" Ivan said, Beckly.
Suddenly, a small cry rang out from somewhere else - It sounded like it came from a young boy. "Err, I meant another adult.." Ivan scoffed, but he and Priestess walked towards the sound, like anybody who had a wish to live! A small, pale boy was sat in the cave, crying, scars littering his body from sliding across the sharp rocks in the cave. He seemed to be around 11-12 years old.
"Hey, little man!" Priestess said, bending down to the height of the child. "What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice uncharacteristically... soft, I guess?????? Ivan just stared. Why can't Priestess be that nice to HIM. What the hell was her PROBLEM?!?!
"... We have to get outta here," Ivan muttered. Priestess immediately started rambling to the child about the love of her life, Doctor. Ivan's fists clenched, and he snatched both Priestess and the kid. "Hey, Kiddo, what's your name?" Ivan questioned. The child pointed to a badge on his chest, with his name written on it - "Shayan".
"Ah... Cool... Now, can you show us the way out of here, little bud?" Ivan asked, smiling nicely. Priestess raised an eyebrow, but ignored the... odd question. Ivan and Priestess followed the bacon-haired boy, through the looping cave.
After around an hour of looping back around the same place, Ivan finally grabbed Priestess's arm. He dragged Priestess away, and of course, Shayan followed. The three continued climbing, bodies aching from moving around for hours on end. They eventually reached a slim walking area - falling meant death.
But, all of the sudden... SHAYAN JUMPED OFF OF THE EDGE!! well, he slipped by accident, but SHUT THE FUCK UP MAN!!! Shayan landed hard on the ground, his ankle twisting from the awkward landing, his head hitting a sharp rock!!! oh no!!
"what the fuck- SHAYAN!!! SHAYAN OH MY GOD, HE KILLED HIMSELF!" Ivan shouted, his knees going weak as he watched Shayan touch the back of his bleeding head. Priestess caught him, staring down into the pit, like a sister losing her little brother. "Shayan..." She whispered, tears filling her eyes...
"Sorry little dude, we have GOT leave you." She said casually. Ivan shrugged nonchalantly (SHAKE YO DREAADSS), and they kept walking until eventually making it to the exit, leaving Shayan behind for dead. "He kept leading us in a loop, he HAD to go." Ivan said. they then made it out of the backrooms and went back to their respective universes #theend 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶😁😁😁😁😁😁😁💗💗💗
