The Curse of Ramshackle
I try my best to hold on to the vision to try and find it again in the dark of my dreams but nothing is coming back, Frustration fills my head.
Why? Why do these visions come by with meaning to this world , only for most of them to be so useless!
Why?. . .
Why?. .
Why!
WHY
"WHY SHOW ME SOMETHING I CAN'T UNDERSTAND!?"
"MMMRRAAA WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED!?"
I'm shot up from my sleep, breathing heavily with sweat on my forehead my chest is tight with frustration I come back to seeing my room again and how bright it was through the curtains.
"What was that all about Kuro!? Did something eat our food!?" Grim asked confused from my earlier outburst.
Calming down a bit I answered Grim's question "It's nothing, I just had another one of those dreams again."
"Eh you mean the ones you had about the seven? But didn't you already go through all of em?" Grim asked confused.
"Yeah, I thought so too but this one was about a. . . Sack man and . . . Santa Clause?" I still try to wrap my head around the dream this time around.
" Uhhh what's a Santa Clause?"
Oh, right twst doesn't seem to have a Santa Clause at least that I know of.
"He's a guy that gives presents to behaving kids around winter from my world he's a holiday figure" I try to explain but I'm not gonna bet on Grim getting it right away.
"Well any important info about the dream?" Grim inquiries
"Nothing that is relevant at this moment maybe it will be useful later?." I'm not very confident with this dream it doesn't seem to have any relevancy with the seven and any of the dorms.
"Well, if It's not useful to us I will be getting my morning tuna!" Grim said excitedly hopping off the bed to head downstairs
I sigh letting my last bits of anger go, taking my phone from the night stand I look at the time.
10:34 am
Oh right Ace and Duece are coming over today, I should probably get up too.
I get up to start the morning but the last moment my dream nags at the back of my head it seems more significant more. . . Present? The hole in the wall felt real it felt like I could reach it right there.
_________________________________________
The rest of the morning goes normally and before I knew it there was a knock at the door already.
"I'm gonna get the door."
Opening the front door revealed the two Heartslabyul trouble makers Ace already waiting impatiently.
"Sup, Kuro! Didn't get bored without us did you?" Ace said in his snarky way as always.
"We brought some dessert from Trey-san!" Duece holds up a basket of pastries.
"It was only a day believe me I was fine." I replied back.
I stepped aside with Ace making himself at home right away on the couch, Duece placed the basket on the coffee table taking a seat next to Ace.
"Mra, you guys brought dessert!" Grim appeared already taking a pastry from the basket.
"Oi, don't eat everything I still want some too!" Ace scolded Grim taking one for himself as well.
The rest of the time was spent talking about everyone's week and also mostly Ace complaining about random things
_________________________________________
an hour has passed by now with Ace still going on about Riddles punishment from yesterday.
"I think it's unreasonable to have to do all these dumb rules while I have way more important tasks to do!" Ace complaint
*crack*
"Yeah, busy doing nothing you were just playing games on your phone!" Duece retorts back.
*Crack*
"You guys can't go on an hour without bickering eh" Grim said pasty in his hands
*Crack!*
There is a cracking sound echoing in the distance
Do they not hear it or am I being crazy?
I look at the hallway and the sound seems to be somewhere where the cracking of wood is blurred, I have long tunned out Ace, Duece and Grim my sight is only on the faraway noise.
*CRACK*
Whatever conversation that happened was put to a halt all four of us staring in the hallways direction.
"Uhh, what was that?" Duece asked
"Maybe It was the rats!"
"Rats? No way that was rats, that was super loud!" Ace looked at Grim confused
Getting up from my seat I start to head to the source of the noise
"Wait, Kuro you don't know what made that noise! It could be a super rat for all we know!" Grim came after me scared with Aduece duo coming fast after.
"Really? Super rat is the best you can think of?"
I follow where I think the noise came from, It seems to come from the complete back of Ramshackle the way is blocked by a door at end of the hall walls and floor is allot more dirtier and broken than in front because nobody comes here.
"Wait, wait, wait we're not going to actually go through the door, right?" Duece asked concerned about what could be found.
"What? You scared?" Ace teased
"A-Am not! If anything you'll be scared!"
I open the door, for some reason I feel drawn to the noise.
I need to know
I need to know what that is. . .
Holes and wild spider webs hang along the walls of the room the decay is all over this room, It seems to have been a study of some kind broken book shelf with withering books laying about.
"I don't think we've been here before." I say moving more inside the room to get a better look.
"Be careful guys we don't know what could be hier." Duece said to all of us.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Ace and Grim said I unison.
Duece just rolled his eyes at their antics
I come to the middle of the room at the end of a wall is a giant decorative mirror with a green glowing gem at the top embedded in the mirror there are also big cracks in it, it seems to ooze a black goo.
"Oi, What's that gross looking stuff?" Ace looked curiously from afar at the mirror.
"Eh, it smells pretty tasty!" Grim sniffed the air for more of the scent
"Grim, please don't eat that!" Duece pleaded with him.
Approaching the mirror I watch the goo I take a good look at it and recognize it
"It's. . . Blot." I said worriedly
"You sure Kur-
*SLAM*
The door where we came from slammed itself shut we all immediately rushed toward the door
Ace tries hard to open the door again but to no avail it stays firmly shut
" Ugh! Fuck it won't open!" Frustration comes from Ace.
" Let me try!"Duece yelled determined, he placed this foot against the wall hands tightly to the door knob and pulled as hard as he could but nothing budget.
"C'mon try harder!!!" Grim started to panic
"I'M TRYING!"
*CRACK*
We look back to the mirror and it gained more cracks suddenly the blot oozing out of them more vigorously than before
"Break down the door if you have to!" I yelled toward the others.
"AhahhahAHAHAHA!!!"
A deranged laughter is heard beyond the mirror I look back to see the blot coming together to form something
"FINALY,OUT Of THAT ICKY BLOT HOLE!"
The form is now part of a formed person head and chest out with a single arm reaching out of the mirror.
"I might just split a seam with all this excitement!"
