Chapter 14: Not an usual morning

Chapter 14: Not an usual morning

Eri's eyes grew wide open as he heard a loud clatter from not too far off, a voice kept on muttering to him, "Blood! Fear! Terror!"

He tried to see what was around but it was really dark and hard to comprehend what went on.

After a few minutes searching aimlessly for anytjing in the room he stayed his leg finally met with something soft, 'what is this?'

"Ouch!" That was Elsa's voice probably the person he had kicked and for a reason found a bit of joy in hearing her annoying voice.

"What's going on? This place is really da...." Before Eri could complete his statement he felt Elsa on his body crawling up to his chest with her bare breast on him, he could tell that much from how much of her nipple he felt on his.

'Damn i never expected such a... What is she doing?' Eri's cheeks reddened as he watched her face get closer to his, it was hard to discern until the last moment.

Eri's throat went dry and his heart palpitated after he set his gaze on Elsa, her entire face was gone having many earthworms of slimed creatures to replace it, just looking at it made his skin crawl and he couldn't help but scream. "Arrrrgggh!" As if the horror was not enough the monster opened it's maws revealing it's sharp rolls of teeth and biting quickly at Eri.

'I can't react, the beast is too close and....'

SPLOOOSH!

******

Eri's eyes bulged open violently and he sat up realizing it was his worse nightmare yet. 'Shit, it felt so real!' Eri made recall of the nightmare a few times ducking his head and slowly taking it in.

'This is not the first time I had such a nightmare before,' Eri recounted the number of dreadful nightmares he had gotten since obtaining the Horror System.

'Ever since the system came into my life, it's changed a lot of me!' Eri yanlwnee unable to settle into that idea. He looked around and found it to be still ark and only one person was awake in the room scanning through him like he was seeing a ghost.

"Good morning Carlos," Eri forwarded a formal greeting to ease the moment which Carlos failed to reply on his own accord. This infuriated Eri, 'i went out if my own design to greet this kid and he refused to reply?'

He wished he had tape on this journey, tying up a kid was no bad idea.

Finally Carlos spoke after glaring irresponsibly at Eri for long, "you are no human from the outside but your aspirations are all human, those empty bottles coloured red means you drink blood don't you?"

Eri groaned like a wounded dog after hearing all this correct blames, 'Now I know why they shut people up in the movies, I simply cannot have this kid roaming about with my secret. He doesn't know what I am? Yeah and I do not seem to get his motivation, I have to know if he is enemy or friend.'

Eri opened his mouth and spoke very watchful of his words, "do you trust me?"

At his question Eri noticed the tensed glare of Carlos increase once more at him, 'Shit I can't tell what type of kid Carlos is since he rarely spoke, and his world ranking is pretty high so that explains a lot, I have to tell what is thinking or predict the.....'

Eri almost grinned after going through these notifications, the eye of truth was turning out to be more of a use worth the pain he went through to get it, although 'I can't still go through the same pain to learn the remaining skill.'

'Do those are his stats, did he really lie about his ranking or over a thousand people died in one day?' Eri racked his mind for a bit before leading himself to the next set of notification.

This excited him for the reason that, 'I am stealing glance of someone's privacy, it feels so good.'

Without hesitation Eri chose yes immediately feeling a shock in his brain that dazed him a bit, after this he noticed the percent rise a bit from 57 to 73 fluctuating back a bit to 70 before stying static.

[Carlos has finally placed a sense of trust in you✓]

Eri exhaled a bit, 'to believe this technique can counter other people technique, I almost want to learn it fully and see what else I would be able to do, but today I will be thankful it saved me.'

Soon enough Eri's mind fell onto the fact his trust rate was declining, even if he was a vampire why did it come down like that, 'The Horror System has some secrets even I can't seem to grasp.'

"So what type of family did you come from Carlos?" Eri wanted to changed the topic talking to Carlos like he was a give year old. 'i learnt kids like talking about themselves.'

Carlos hissed sitting upright and staring at Eri with less intensity in his eyes, "I no longer have parents, they all died during the apocalypse."

Eri imagined the pain of a child that young living his parents,it was very similar to his story and that sparked a reaction in his heart. "You know I lost my parents too when I was about your age or maybe even younger, I took care of my sister striving like a mad dog and I am sure they are proud at..."

"I killed my parents," Carl interupted elaborating further, "they were transformed, infected and I took their life's with little hesitations, I am a damn monster!"

Eri shook his head and grinned wide, "Kid I killed my two parents and caused us to go broke! Do you fucking think you are special because something tragic occured in your life, face the fact boy there isn't any life that doesn't have tragedy in it! Wherever there s life tragedy occurs!"

Carl's eyes glowed to finally have gotten the message, and that gladdened Eri, "so...."

"Keep quiet Eri," Carlos rose to his feet silently looking out to window, it was still very dark as night, the others too were sound asleep to that fact.

'This kid is he ignoring me?' Eri growled within fully realizing the kid before him needed to be spanked hard to learn manners.

"Eri, with all the shouting we did it's not possible but Gambit didn't wake up he's keen to movements and loud noise, even Skylar is knocked out cold, and worst of all...."

"It's already morning!" They chorused together getting the full message and glaring at the door in a state of apprehension.

"This was a bloody trap," Carlo's eyes began to spin as the door in the distance began to give an ominous feel now.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

They began to hear a lot of shoe heels slamming into the ground and edging closer.

'Somehow we were unaffected by whatever they put in the air, but what scares me most is the reason that nighttime has extended to over twelve hours and counting,' Eri gulped clenching his fist tightly and glaring at the door, "what lives in this station."

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!
