Don't Leave Me ~ Chapter 2

.::. Hoodie's PoV - present time .::.

I sat in the kitchen, trying to eat a piece of cheesecake. I knew it was nearly 4am,  but I didn't care. Somehow it didn't taste like it usually would. I sighted and layed the fork away. Then I just stared out of the window into the depths of the forest. I didn't know what I was waiting for, maybe Masky returning by himself or so.

I was tired, my thoughts slowly drifted away, before I fell asleep I thought of Masky and how I loved the way he laughed. And how I missed him.

......

I was slowly waking with a sharp pain in my neck and without any feelings in my right hand. I groaned. Did I fell asleep? When I moved a little more my hand suddenly started to tingle, slowly regaining the ability to feel. I looked down at the plate infront of me. The cheesecake I wanted to eat this morning...  I got up and placed it back into the fringe. Maybe I could eat it some other time.

I glanced at the clock. Nearly 7. The others would get up soon too. I had the urge to just go out and search for Masky myself, but Master said he would find him and I should concentrate on my work. Easier said than done.

And there I was, pacing around in the kitchen, waiting for my partner to return to me.

.::. Tim's PoV - 2 days earlier .::.

9:11pm. It was nearly pitch black and I was lost in the woods. Since Jay called and said I should leave I was out searching for him. I tried to call him several times after that, but his phone seemed to be off.

When I thought about it now, it was a silly idea to go out to search for him in late evening without a cam or even some supplies. And now that it is dark it's useless to try finding him.

I sat in a corner of a room in an old burned out building. I know this place. I was here before. Several times. It is like destiny itself brought me here.

I didn't want to fall asleep, but  my eyes kept closing every time I didn't pay attention. I didn't know who or what was around this area, it would be too dangerous to let my guard down and get some rest. Even if I knew I needed it. But I felt bad and my eyes started to hurt.

I finally gave in and fell into a deep,  dreamless slumber.

I woke up by a sharp pain in my head. I groaned and swallowed my last pills. Then I threw the empty bottle across the room. The sun stood high and shone through the broken glass of the window into my face.

I got up and stretched my hurting muscles. Time to find Jay. He could be in serious danger.

It was about noon. I wanderd through the forest, the cam I found yesterday in my hand. Somehow I felt uncomfortable when it wasn't filming, but I couldn't help. I had no time to charge the battery.

I stumbled. I could hear faint noises in the distance. It sounded like... static. I turned around, my vision blurred in the distance, I could spot a strange figure between the trees. It was tall, kind of slender and wore something black...

I recognized the thing and turned back around and ran away, I started coughing, but I didn't care. The static noises got louder and louder, I knew it was right behind me. It was useless to try to escape, but I saw the edge of the woods and I kept running, even if my lungs felt like burning.

But then I stumbled, fell to the ground. The static getting louder every moment I was unable to get up. I could barely breath thanks to the coughing and the pain which numbed my whole body. I started crawling away from the thing, away from my fate.

I heard a voice, it wasn't like it was spoken,  but like it was right in my head. Instinctively I slammed my hands on my ears, I didn't want to hear it, feel the pain it caused in my head.

You know where you belong Timothy.

Soon after my vision went black and I passed out.
