WARNING: uh um scary i think ~~~ Elliot stood there, in the forests he had feared for so long before his death. He stood in front of the ruins of his old workplace, the place where c00lkidd reigned now. His eye pulsed with a sudden, burning hatred. One directed towards the child and his father. *Make them pay* *Give them what they deserve* “What they deserve…” he mumbled to himself. Elliot couldn't tell where the voice was coming from, but he didn't care. He knew it was right. They needed to pay. ~~~ c00lkidd was daydreaming inside the ruins when suddenly he had the chilling sensation he was being watched. He turned around to see Elliot walking towards him, his one glowing eye casting a terrifying shadow on the floor. “Hey, kid…” Elliot grinned crookedly. “Remember me?” c00lkidd felt something was wrong. Not just the fact that Elliot should be dead, but that whatever brought him back — whatever brought him here — didn't have good intentions. “...Mister Elliot? Wh-what happened to you?” Elliot narrowed his eyes slightly, but he kept that same crooked smile on his face. “Why, you killed me, of course. But I'm back now! Isn't that nice?” Elliot's smile grew wider, and he cut c00lkidd off before he could answer his question. “Do you want to play a game?” “A… a game?” “Yes. Just like we used to play.” “Mister Elliot– I didn't–” “How about hide and seek?” Elliot's eye glowed brighter. “You hide first. Pray that I don't find you.” c00lkidd's eyes widened in fear. He ran off as Elliot started counting down: *30.* *29.* *28.* c00lkidd grabbed his tablet — the one his father gave him — and typed out a frantic message. *dad help* *mr elliot is coming* *hes gonna kill me dad plz* *im scared* “Ready or not, here I come!~” c00lkidd squeaked, dropped the tablet, and ran for his life. ~~~ Seven sat at the counter, staring out the window into the forest. Suddenly, a notification popped up on his tablet. His eyes widened. No one could message him on the c00lgui except— “c00lkidd.” Seven fumbled to get the message open, and his eyes widened further. He started shoving his gear into a bag as Shedletsky walked into the kitchen. “Seven, i-is something wrong?” Seven shook his head. “You wouldn't understand,” he said, stepping out the door. “Seven, wait, it's not safe to go out alone—” Seven was already gone. Shed didn't follow him. ~~~ haha the next two chapters are going to be ROUGH
