Alastor's assistant got the weapon out of the machine. He did so without hesitation. Alastor always liked that about his assistant. He'd resented his secretary because his secretary would always question him and he didn't like it. However, he kept her because she was valuable to him.
"Behold, assistant," Alastor said. "This might be my best invention yet. Except for the puppy maker, of course."
With Alina
We looked at Austin as he tried to show us how many hotdogs he could balance on the bridge of his nose. To be fair, I would rate this performance a 2 out of ten. He could barely fit 4 hotdogs.
"At least you can fit 4 and a half now," Audrey said, trying to make him feel better.
Then, suddenly, I got chills down my spine. It felt like someone or something else was there with us, watching our every move. Whispers came out of nowhere from the direction behind me. When I looked, there was nothing but a measly shadow that looked not much taller than I was.
"Are you okay, Alina?" Audrey asked as she saw my troubled expression.
"Uhm, do you see something, guys?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Austin asked, confusion present in his voice and the expression on his face.
Then, suddenly, the whispers stopped. When I looked, nothing was there.
"It must've been my imagination," I said.
I then realized that, technically, in this kind of dream, it wouldn't have been my imagination because our imaginations control this dream. But I didn't think of a scene out of a horror movie, and I was certain that we were the only ones there. We had to be.
I became a bit skeptical of my friends even though they wouldn't do anything like this. Austin hated horror with all his passion. Audrey loves horror but she also loves other things. My skepticism went away when I felt that I could always trust them. And I always will.
With Alastor
"Wait, why did the machine stop?" Alastor asked.
"Well, sir, it seems as though you programmed it to only last a few minutes at most," his assistant replied.
"How do I fix this? I didn't program this!" Alastor said. Frustration was creeping up on him. He was naturally easy going but there are times where he can snap out of nowhere.
He then made adjustments to the machine and powered it up again.
With Alina
Suddenly, the whispers came back. But it was worse.
Help! It's cold and we can't get out! a voice from the pond said. When I looked, there looked to be a small child. However, the flesh was ripped from her face and she had holes where her eyes should be.
I'm freezing! another voice from the pond said. The source of the other voice was beside the girl. It was a little boy, identical to the girl. Then they turned to shadow.
"Do you hear that too?" a voice in my ear asked. I was relieved to know that it was just Audrey, but she sounded terrified. When I turned to look at her, her mouth was stitched. At the corner of her cheek was fresh blood. Her eyes were gone, and her eye sockets leaked blood.
I turned to look at Austin. He wasn't much better. He had blood spewing out of his nose. His mouth. His eyes. Everywhere.
I wiped my eyes and my friends were back to normal. But they had terrified looks.
"What in the world just happened?" I asked.
"I don't know. But whatever it is, it isn't good," Austin said.
"I don't think this is a dream anymore," Audrey said.
