Chapter 8
There was a lot to do and during lunch, you mostly had time to yourself since it seemed everyone's social battery dropped. Danny and Stu weren't even talking much, which was fine with you. You weren't that hungry again so you had a juice and snack while writing away in your journal having crocheted during the 4-hour outdoor time. Now that lunch was done, you were sent to do some paperwork for everyone, which killed time for you.
"This is paperwork that should've been done during your first day but, of course, management got to wait until the last minute for you to do this." You nodded at Randall glancing up at him from the paperwork.
"What about the two new ones that are coming?" He huffed which was answer enough for you.
"Can you imagine how long those will take? Hopefully, you'll get them after next week. Pretty sure they do this on purpose." You agreed with him and continued to fill out whatever you needed to do. It was dinner time by, the time you finished so you hurried to put everything up and head towards the mess hall, lunch room, or whichever one they called it since you missed when they were first brought out from their rooms. You saw Hannibal and Pyramidhead at dinner and this time Pyramidhead didn't have the shackles along his arms and was eating slowly and methodically. You waved at everyone and they nodded at you. It seemed their energy and social levels were still drained which is understandable.
"Hey Y/N, why don't you come sit with us?" You looked over to the security guards, the same one who helped you with moving and your groceries was the one beckoning you over.
"Okay, Lawrence." You grabbed your dinner and sat in between him and the other guy Rick, who was the second guy who helped you move. Lawrence was grinning largely at you and Rick gave you a half-smile as you ate your dinner in comfortable silence. You didn't expect to be a part of a conversation but, Lawrence dragged you into one.
"How old are you Y/N?" You looked up at Lawrence and everyone else before answering.
"I'm 24." It was silent and you noticed they looked stunned.
"I thought you were 20 years old max." You giggled and from then, you answered and input your little two cents here and there until dinner was done. You got up dumping your plates and escorted your patients to their wing, standing on the side and waving to all of them even if they didn't acknowledge you. Hannibal was the last one and once everyone went inside their wing, you turned around and went to your apartment/room. It was a long day and already 8 PM, you were ready to shower and relax until you fell asleep. You were just glad they still paid you good at $20 an hour, it would've been $30 anywhere else but, then you'd have to pay rent, and fares to travel. After taxes, your money is used on your phone bill, food, and luxuries such as app subscriptions, clothing, yarn, and books. You'll take it.
------------------------------------------------------
It was the next day and you forgot that today you were going to be meeting Ji-Woon Hak and Albert Wesker. Both of them claimed to have come from the Entity's realm. You knew it had to exist because one too many people talked about it and it had to be more than just a cult, especially since they were killers and there were survivors whose job was to fix generators and the killers had to kill them each round for the entity or else they were severely punished. Sounded fucking insane and something straight out of a video game. It was 6:30 when you woke up which gave you plenty of time to stretch, do your morning routine, and make breakfast for yourself. By the time you finished, it was 7:35 which gave you time to pack up your bags, snacks, water, and juice ready for the day. You came out of your room and were greeted by Randall who was in the process of knocking on your door but, you interrupted him.
"Good morning Y/N, how are you? How'd you sleep?" He placed his hand down and you smiled at him, closing and locking your door. You had changed the locks so only you could have the key. You didn't like that someone from maintenance could enter your place without you knowing so you changed the locks with permission of course which was granted.
"Morning Randall, I'm fine and slept well, how about you?" You two engaged in small talk before handing you two files of the new patients.
"Now that it's the next day I am allowed to give you their files and you have full access to them and about their life before the entity, during the entity, and up to now." You thanked him and stuffed them in your bag to read later as you waited for the guards to bring out the patients. You waved at the guards and the patients/friends. Can you call them your friends now?
"Good morning Miss Y/N." You waved excitedly at Brahms and right behind him was Bubba who made you giggle when he squealed excitedly, can he make other noises besides squealing? You wanted to know. Jason was behind Bubba and he waved at you and you smiled big at him with a wave. Maybe he knows sign language, you were going to have to test it out. The rest went by with you smiling and waving. You already knew Hannibal and Pyramidhead won't be joining you for breakfast but, will be there for lunch. You thought Freddy was the last one after the two of you gave each other the finger smirking but, were surprised to see a skinny-looking Asian dude that had a pretty face and behind him a tall guy with a stoic face. You waved at both of them and were not surprised when they ignored you. You had patience and you believed that if you could get through to Pyramid head you could get through anyone.
"I see you met your new patients." Randall struck up a conversation with you again and the two of you talked reaching the mess hall since you had eaten breakfast, you grabbed a bag of chips and an orange to snack on while looking around to see where you could sit. Ji-Woon was sitting with Danny as the two of them talked and you saw the other guy Albert sitting by himself brooding and looking all around. He made eye contact with you and he snarled at you, you weren't phased and simply raised an eyebrow at him going to sit at the first empty chair you saw. You were sitting next to Brahms who was sitting with Michael who was silent with his head down and hair covering his face. Brahms nodded at you and looked between you and the new guy who had yet to break eye contact.
"What do you think about the new guy?" You appreciated he was trying to make conversation with you but, you didn't want to break eye contact with Albert.
"I have no idea love, as you can see we are engaging in a staring contest and I think it's rather funny he doesn't want to look away. Probably trying to understand why the hell I am not shaking in my boots. He was used to the survivors from the entity realm running from him being scared. Everyone who came from that place probably wondered that, to be honest." You were still staring but, it was broken by Danny getting up and standing in front of Albert to garner his attention. Haha, you won.
"It seemed you won." You turned to Brahms this time grinning as you ate a slice of your peeled orange. It was surprisingly sweet and you're sure that you just got lucky picking it.
"It seems I did." It was quiet as you sat with the two giants in peace looking around at the patients and looking on your phone. You put on Criminal Minds and placed your phone in the center of the table just in case the other two wanted to watch. You saw how Michael tilted his head slightly and Brahms looked down, both of them were watching it with you and that's how you spent your breakfast time with them. Once breakfast was over, you spent your downtime reading the files on the two as well as paying your app subscriptions, your phone was on autopay so the money was taken out monthly for that. You were wondering if you should place a yarn order or a clothing order and send it to your P.O. box. As you looked through your yarn collection you decided on a yarn order and on your next pay you'll do a clothing order.
"Lunchtime starts in 10 minutes"
You appreciated that they didn't have an intercom in your room because the one in the hallway was loud enough for you to hear. You unplugged your phone which you had charging grabbed your lunch you packed up to head to greet them again. You enjoyed greeting them even if they found it annoying and a couple of them didn't mind. You had a feeling it was going to be easier to get along with Ji-Woon than Albert. Once again the guards were escorting them and this time Stu was in the front and you waved back just as hard as him. It was fun reciprocating energy at times.
"You're always so damn cheery." It was Anna who said this and you didn't expect her to talk to you but, you grinned at what she said.
"Why not? Being depressing makes you age faster." She kept walking not having the chance to say anything back. You waved at the others and you have yet to figure out the identities of the legion people. You knew the names but, you didn't know who they belonged to. After the legion and Phillip, it was Ji-Woon and you waved at him smiling when he waved back
"Danny told me about you." You grinned.
"Hope it was all good things." He was forced to keep walking and Albert was next as he glared at you and you snickered.
"Stare any harder your eyeballs are going to fall out dove." He made a face at you but, kept walking as you greeted the others, and when you heard the loud clanking of chains you turned to see Pyramidhead shackled again which meant you were going to have to feed him. You didn't mind, besides it might shock the shit out of Ji-Woon and Albert. You followed behind surprised not to see Randall but, another nurse you never interacted with and the two of you didn't acknowledge each other as you both walked to the mess hall. Once there you got online grabbed a lunch for yourself, and went to sit next to PyramidHead so you could feed him.
"Why is she sitting next to him?" You heard Ji-Woon asking the legion people and one of them laughed.
"Just watch what the crazy bitch does." You felt eyes on you and when you started feeding him you saw out of the corner of your eye Ji-Woon looking around in disbelief and Albert's eyes widened.
"Is she really fucking doing that?? Is she really feeding the executioner and he's letting her?!!" Jiwoon sounded like he couldn't believe his eyes and he kept looking at everyone and you as you fed Pyramidhead with your left hand and ate with your right. Once you were done feeding him and eating yourself, you rested your phone on his chained arms playing Happy Tree Friends since he seemed to like it as you chanced a glance at Albert and Ji-Woon whose jaws were slacked.
"You'll catch flies like that." They both shut it and Albert ate his food with no commentary Ji-Woon looked around one more time just in case, before shaking his head and speaking in Korean to himself as he ate. You couldn't help but, chuckle and think about how interesting everything was going to be with these two.
