Chapter 17

Ike's P.O.V

I skipped into the forest, not caring what happens after I get to were ever this path leads. Every little sound I never notice before suddenly hit me and I sat on the ground. I leaned my head against a shaded tree and sighed. I went into a day dream and I found myself walking alone in a old house. There were scorch marks on the walls and the smell of smoke came from everything. I heard a small noise upstairs and carefully navigated my way upstairs.

Suddenly I heard a scream and ducked behind a doorway. Footsteps started coming closer and they stopped right before the door I was hiding behind. I got ready to punch anything that came from around the corner, but, nothing came. I stood up slowly and glanced behind me for a second. I was randomly pushed to the ground and something started sitting on my stomach. I gritted my teeth and tried to push what ever was on me off but it didn't budge.

I looked at it quickly and the only thing I could make out on it was it's hair which was blue and red. I tried kicking it but it just laughed and started floating after getting surrounded by shadows. I quickly jumped up and it paused.

"Hmm....Why are you here?" I froze

That sounded like me but a little muffled...

The thing floated around me and it finally stepped into the light. It had a white skull on that was splattered with blood and was wearing the same outfit as me but without the hoodie. It landed in front of me and pulled it's skull off. I gasped and so did the person in front of me. It was me but...better looking.... I held up my hand and touched it. A jolt of something ran up my arm and stopped under my eye causing me to flinch back. I wiped my eye and paused. My arms were black along with my hands.

I frantically looked down at myself and almost lost my balance.

"What happened to me!?!?!" I practically screamed

I ran over to a broken mirror that stood in the corner of the room and looked at myself. I now looked like the better version of me. Same hair, same clothes, same skull, I even had the same blood red eyes as her. The only thing that was different was a tiny white operator symbol below my left eye.

Other me grabbed my arm and turned me so I was facing her.

"Come here tomorrow at midnight."

"HOW?!?!" she looked at me and pressed the operator symbol under my eye three times.

"That's how" I went to object but a light blinded my vision and I was pulled back into reality.

I jolted forward and gripped my head. My hand were the same black as in the dream so I frantically got up and ran back to the mansion. I ran inside and was greeted by Oreo. I gave him a half-hearted  smile and ran into Slenders office.

He was looking through a file when he was startled by my entrance. He looked at me and I breathed in short gasps of air.

"What's happening to me?" I asked slightly scared.

Slender quickly stood up and slammed his office door, locking it as well.

"Where were you?" He asked sternly

"In the woods, daydreaming..." I said quickly

"Dreaming about what?" he raised his voice

I shrunk back and replied, "It was an old house and a person that looked like this tackled me and I touched them, The next thing I know, I look like this and they told me to go back there tomorrow at midnight..." Before I could say anything else Slender cut me off.

"Don't." His voice rang out causing everything to become completely silent.

I quickly nodded and ran out of his office. I accidentally bumped into someone and turned to apologies but I stopped. I looked at the person awestruck. A female with long red hair and stitches forming a smile stood before me. I manage to collect my thoughts and mumbled sorry. I went to turn again but two more girls stood behind me. A shorter girl stood next to a skinny one and they looked at me weirdly. I realized I actually had a skull on so I pulled it off and looked at them closer. I felt like I knew them from somewhere but I just shrugged and pushed past them.

I saw Hoodie sitting on the couch so I snuck up behind him and hugged him from behind. He laughed and pulled me on top of his lap. He froze suddenly and pushed me off of him. My eyes widened and I touched his shoulder.

"Hoodie? It's me...Ike." I heard a gasp and glanced behind me.

The three girls were there and the red head was covering her mouth. I looked back at Hoodie and he gave me a skeptical look.

"Oh really? What's the first movie we watched when we first started dating?"

"You are afraid but it stopped working so we watched it's spoof Yu R afrad." His look softened and he hugged me.

"What happen Ike?" I shrugged and buried my face into his shoulder.

"I don't know..." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and sighed

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder so I looked behind me and saw the red head from before.

"Um, can I help you?" She looked at me and nodded

The other two walked next to the red head and they glanced at each other.

"Ike, was it?" I nodded

"You by any chance wouldn't happen be named Alex would you?" I paused.

"How did you?" Red head wrapped her arms around me and I struggled trying to make her let go.

"The odd squad is finally back together." I froze

"What did you just say?" I mumbled

"Alex...It's us...Jenna,Reanna,and Caitie..." My heart skipped a beat and fear overcame me.

"I-I never.....protected you.....I PROMISED that I would PROTECT you guys and your still here?!?!?!" I gripped my head and stood up.

"nonononononononononono..." I looked at Jenna and gripped her face.

I ran a finger down the stitches...they were real.... She pulled away from me and I slid my skull back on.

"Some one is not going to like what's gonna happen next." I ran my hand over my scissors and growled.

"Who did that" I motioned at her stitches.

She paused and looked at Reanna and Cat, "I did." I paused.

"What." she nodded quickly.

"We got to choose what we looked like." I sat back down appalled.

My heart would not stop beating quickly. It actually started to become painful after a little bit.

"Hoodie!" I gripped my chest breathing deeply.

"What?" I couldn't speak anymore so I pointed at my chest, which started compelling me to grab my scissors and stab something.

I got up and quickly ran outside and was followed by hoodie. My vision was fading in and out and I had to slap my self to wake up. I saw someone up ahead so I pounced on them and started to cut into their scalp. I soon ripped away all the skin and so I broke the neck and started pulling the brain matter out along with the eyes and other things. I broke the jaw off and wiped the inside of the skull as clean as possible before removing the skull I had now and putting the other one on. It fit much better then before.

I placed the old skull on top of the body and stabbed the guys heart for good measure. I weakly stood up and started to laugh. THAT WAS AMAZING! I stared down at the body and noticed that my hoodie was soaked in blood. Oh well. I slid it off and wrapped it around my waist. I smiled behind me after noticing Hoodie standing there. He gave me a shaky thumbs up and quickly walked away. I grabbed the guys wallet and saw he had a credit card and a hundred dollar bill. Why he was walking through the shady part of the forest with money like this I don't know, but hey, free money.

I also took his phone. Nothing fancy, just and older flip phone. I tucked the things inside my shorts pocket and happily walked back to the mansion.
