Kris' Pov

I shuddered, finally freed from Susie's glare. That was... unsettling to say the least.

But that was weird, because Susie had never scared me before. To be fair, I was never being directly affected by it, but still. Noelle would practically drown us all in tears every time it happened. 

But when someone is threatening to bite your face off and has you pinned to the locker...

You pee yourself juuuust a little bit.

The thing is, and I'm not proud of this, before she started threatening me...

No, nevermind. I don't know what I'm saying. 

I began walking behind Susie at a safe distance. She was grumbling to herself about something, but I didn't want to know what. She turned around suddenly.

"OOOOOOH MY GODDDDDDDDD could you walk any slower!?" She paused for a second, then continued. "Nah, I get it. Not used to walking around without someone holding your hand?" Her face flushed a bit as she stuck out her hand.

I just stared at her.

"Wait, you're going from threatening to bite my face off to asking if I want to hold your hand???" I asked quizzically.

Her face turned a bright crimson. "W-WHAT!? NO, FREAK! IT WAS A JOKE! I WAS, YA KNOW, MAKING FUN OF YOU!? Why are you so fucking weird!?" She turned back around and took a few deep breaths.

"Let's go, freak." she snarled. 

I shrugged and followed behind her. We walked down the hall, looking for a room labelled as the storage closet. Finally, we found it.

It was in some weird hallway of the school that was VERY poorly kept. There was gunk all over the floor, and the lights were out. Other than that, everything felt uncomfortably damp.

And then there was the door. Even in a normal hall, it would've been concerning. It was unreasonably dark and loomed over us like it was growing, and sucking in all the light. 

"W-well? What're you waiting for, Kris? you gonna go in, or what?" Susie said.

"Sorry, what? You think I'm going in there? No thanks, sister." I snapped.

"F-FINE! If you're gonna be such a wimp, I'll... W-we'll both go in at the same time!" 

Susie slowly and carefully - which was a word I never thought I would use to describe Susie's actions - opened the door. The hallway got 93% darker. I thought I saw her shudder. 

"W-well, here we are..." She sounded as if she was trying to hide an intense fear - and was failing.

I nodded and walked in beside her. We stepped into the darkness to find a few papers spilled on the floor, but nothing else other than that. 

"S-see? What were you so afraid of? There's nothing- Wait, where are the walls?" Susie began.

I walked further in, waving my hands frantically in front of my face, attempting to find the walls. After a few seconds, I realized that I could no longer see the exit. 

Then something grabbed my shoulder.
