To Find: Season 1 (The Sewers Tape)

Story Tape #5

A song played (Witchcraft, By Patience & Prudence, Mark McIntyre Orchestra) as I slowly woke up after falling for however long the height was. My nose noticed the disgusting smell inside the room, so after my vision became clear; It made sense that I was inside a sewer. Thankfully the creatures didn't chase me down here. I don't remember much of what happened since it all went blank. Whisper appeared against the wall, the sound of his TV Head static turning on as he looked at me and said, "The fact that you aren't dead is interesting. Good job. You need to be able to handle yourself under pressure." Yeah, thanks for the help. You reminded me how even more lonely I am. As I walk deeper into the sewers, Whisper looks at me, chuckling before he fades away. Alone, again. It felt like I was walking for about 10 minutes; the smell was unbearable. The sound of water dripping echoed, then I saw a small dark figure playing with the water, looking like a little girl. What the hell is she doing here? I didn't want to risk talking to her, I wasn't sure if she was hostile, so I quietly walked past her from behind. She stopped playing with the water. Fear developed within my heart; why did she stop? I slowly looked to see the back of the girl's head, her unnerving voice scratching my soul as she said, "Mr. Ducky, it's not nice to notice someone and not say hi." She looked at me giggling, her face disfigured. It's always those faces, that eerie smile. Please stop looking at me like that. So I tried to talk to her without letting her face bother me. "Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry. I need to work on socializing with people." The girl nodded but had a questionable look on her face as if she was studying me. "Wait, I know who you are... Master told us about you on the news. The ducky goosie boy. The Wanderer. Look!~" My heart dropped as she said those words. "Your Master? Who? DEFEAT?" She pointed down at the water she was playing with, so I looked closely, which looked like a damn mugshot. I hear D.E.F.E.A.T's voice announcing my arrival. "Attention, City of the Blinded Faith, I have an announcement to make. Just the Duck, Goose, Identity-Crisis boy is in my city. Whether dead or alive, bring him to me. You will receive a fine reward for his death, but double the reward for his capture. I will speak to all residents individually. Happy Hunting and good luck Just, you'll need it." I looked at the girl, slowly walking past her while maintaining eye contact. She started to tear up a bit. "Where are you going? Master says if we keep you here, he'll get us out of this sewer. Please, Mr. Ducky?" She looked at me, crying. I wasn't letting her guilt trip me, so I shook my head no while backing away. Then, she smiled at me, laughing, those haunting words stuck in my head. "Then my mommy is going to come and kill you." My heart stopped for a second. I've encountered death a few times in my life. If God willed it, I wouldn't be here right now. But hearing that someone wants to kill me... That I've never heard of. While the girl was laughing, I heard water splashing, heading toward me, so I froze a bit; just looking into the darkness while the girl continued to laugh. Just shut up already, please. I then saw the lady screaming while wielding a knife, her body twitching as she ran towards me with her left arm reaching out. I looked the opposite way and began running away. The song (Summertime, By Mareux) played distortedly in the background. I breathed heavily, my thighs starting to feel the burn but I forced my body to keep running. The peals of laughter grew louder and louder, while running I found a ladder and I quickly started to climb my way up, the girl climbing up as she clung tightly to my leg. "Please stay Ducky! Don't go! It'll be quick, just give up! Mommy! Help me!" Her distorted voice holds onto me as she laughs maniacally, her head shaking vigorously as I try kicking her off of me. "Get the hell off of me!!" I kicked her on her face as I watched her fall down on the ground, hearing her cry as her mother came to her aid. "Sweetie, are you okay?! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!" The mother screamed as she went on a frenzy, climbing up the ladder as her long tongue is revealed; flailing around as she swings her knife. I struggled to open the sewage cover, punching out of desperation as it finally opened. Climbing out from the sewer as I turned around to see that she reached out to grab my leg. "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!" I slam the side of the cover on her head, watching her fall as the girl calls out to her mommy. I quickly covered the sewage hole as I tried to catch my breath; I could've died. I needed to calm myself down, so I looked at the cross, holding it tightly. I looked around my surroundings to see that I'd made it to the city. It was cold and dark, the streets were empty, and a few dark figures walked by, surprisingly not paying attention to me. I then looked up to see the large Entity looking down at me from above.~
