IT WATCHES 

Failure and pain (chapter 1) 

I was given my meal for the day and thrown back into my cell. The speakers turned on “B7 you will go with one of the doctors to the ‘fun’ room to play”. My name is B7. My stomach rumbled and the lights of my cell turned off.  

I woke up, a guard was carrying me towards the room. They threw me into the room, the room was patted and had a strange mirror in the corner. There were blood stains on the ground near the door. The speaker turned on, “B7, GENDER: FEMALE, AGE: 12 IS NOW BEING EXPERIMENTED ON”. “B7 WALK TOWARDS THE MIRROR OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES”. 

The mirror started glowing when I neared, it showed a picture of me in a field running around, free. I saw other children, like A3 and G0. I’ve been the only child who arrived at lunch yesterday, and I wondered where they went. I went up to the mirror and touched it, the room turned pitch-black, and I began sinking into the ground. 

Deep end (chapter 2) 

 I was now in a house, and I saw someone. It was R4, a humorous young boy now lying dead before me. I really enjoyed his company, but the only question that lingered in my head, what sick thing did this to him. I walked out of the house, and all I saw was vast ocean. 

Suddenly something was scraping below the house. It was getting closer, I ran into the house. Something climbed onto the side of the house. The wall exploded, a massive crab stood before me. The crab grabbed R4’s body and retreated into the sea. I had to get out of this house, I found pieces of wall and formed a make-shift boat and paddle. 

I made it to a house with not much difficulty, but it was freezing. I looked back to the house I was just at. Could I have done anything to save R4. If this happened to all the kids at the lab, I would have to save every single one of them, and I cannot let anyone else die. 

I found a mirror, the roof next to it was collapsed. There was graffiti, it said “beware of the seeker”. What was a seeker, and went up to the mirror and touched it. 

 

 

 

 

Ghost town (chapter 3) 

The town was empty, grey brick houses collapsed everywhere. Black sludge oozed from every crack or hole, it seemed to have consumed the entire place. A giant wall bordered the town. 

A kid was up against a wall, well he used to be a kid. He was a carcass , his body had residue all over it, and it pained me to realize that I recognized him. It was Y5, a smart kid, but not very athletic. I was too late to save him. Something was at his feet, a notebook. She recognized the brand, it was from the lab. It was titled “MONSTERS” in sharpie. 

Suddenly I had a memory, it was the day I arrived at the lab from the orphanage. The lab called me special, it was weird how they looked at me, they signed me up for a strange surgery. I grabbed the notebook, it had a bookmark. I flipped to that page, it told me about some monster called a Lurker and how there were many species. There was one called a seeker, which stood out, it said it disappeared a long time ago. 

Suddenly the ground shook, the ground split in two. Many tentacle erupted from the ground, luckily some of the tentacle broke part of the wall. I ran to the wall but stopped, there was a shattered mirror at the foot of the wall. I escaped through the wall, and kept running until i found an abandoned house. There was a mirror inside that glowed red. I touched the mirror. 

The bunker (chapter 4) 

I woke up in a dusty room, noise came from down the hall, it was people talking. I walked into the room. There were four people, all I recognized. It was B2, C0, H4, and U1. “B7!!!” C0 yelled. “Ok guys this reunion may be nice, but we need to continue on what made the tunnels” U1 said sternly. B2 had a sad look on her face. “I am sorry B7, but we lost F7” said B2. B2 and F7 were two peas in a pod, you could not separate them. H4 walked up to me, “I see you have Y5’s journal” he said. “Come to my room I have something to show you” he continued. 

We walked to his room. I sat on his bed, he pulled something from under a chair. It was a scroll. He opened it, and his expression saddened. He showed it to me. It was just an eye, only an eye. “This is the Watcher” he said. “Do the others know?” I asked. “No, they do not” he said. "you seem ‘responsible’ enough to handle this”. 

The truth about F7’s disappearance was revealed. He went missing the same night the tunnels appeared. I asked H4 if the Watcher took him, he said he can’t do that. Suddenly the lights flickered. 

The massacre (chapter 5) 

The lights turned off, I was pushed to the side. “the watcher has grown tired of me!” H4 said. The lights flickered back on, nothing but a blood puddle on the ground. Bird-like footprints of mud covered the ground. B2 collapsed, beginning to gag. She threw up a black substance. 

The others patted her on her back and told her to fight it off. She began to look better after they said that. I just sat on a couch, reading through the notebook. Something caught my eye, it was called a Terror. It said it was a monster that burrows and is bird-like. Wait, only its feet are bird like the rest of it is horrifying. It also said its threat level is 9. but it said it has a weakness, bright lights about 450 watts. 

The others went to bed, I stayed in the room with B2. Soon, B2 went to bed, and I sat alone in the room. I walked into my room, looked like someone had been here not that long ago. A camera sat on the table next to the bed along with a satchel. The lights powered off, it was pitch-black. 

An escape (chapter 6) 

The walls began to echo, something was crawling right behind them. I grabbed the camera, and ran into B2’s room. “B2, we have to get out of here!” I said. She woke up in a daze, and went to the door, “I’ll go get H4, you get C0” B2 said. “B2?” I said, "H4 is gone”. 

Me and B2 went into C0’s room, but only U1 was there. He looked at a hole in the room. Suddenly C0 walked in, confused to see everyone in the room. She gasped when she saw the hole in the wall. The light flickered for a second, revealing something in the hole. 

It fully crawled out, it stood at least seven foot tall. Me and the others ran out of the room. The Terror followed us, it seemed disorientated. Suddenly white pupils appeared in its dark eyes. 

I grabbed my camera, and flashed it. It screamed in pain, and retreated into the darkness. We ran into the next room, and locked the door. Suddenly something banged against the door, pieces of wood scattered in every direction. 

U1 grabbed something from under a table. A gun, he locks on the door but suddenly the banging stopped, and the door was half destroyed. It came from the ceiling and pounced C0. U1 shot at it five times, only one bullet penetrated. I tackled the creature, I could not lose another friend. 

I pummeled the creature with my fists, it kicked me into the wall, and it was angry. It pinned me against the wall, baring its teeth. I grabbed the camera and flashed it. It screamed in a fury, U1 locked onto it, and shot until the gun was out of bullets.  

It climbed back into the roof and never came back. “Guys it's not safe here anymore, let's go to the mirror” said U1. 

 
 

The Labyrinth (chapter 7) 

We walked into a bronze room, though most of it was rusted, it contained a  mirror. “but if we go into the mirror we’ll be separated” I said. “that's not  how mirrors work, the same mirror leads to the same place” said C0. “are you sure we should leave the bunker U1” B2 asked. 

 

Suddenly I wasn’t with the others, I was in a hospital bed. A doctor walked in walked in with a syringe. I was at the lab, I was in my memories. The doctor injected me, I floated out of my body, now I was watching the surgery I had that day. 

The others were shaking me awake, they looked worried, and I was back in the rusted bronze room. We went up to the mirror and went one by one. U1 was first, then everyone else. We were inside a strange inside maze, the floors were smooth, the walls were covered in leaves, and the roof had lights and vents. 

The lights buzzed, we wandered around the maze. The sounds of machinery came from the walls, our shoes squeaked on the floor.  Soon we found a room, we walked in, and there was a sign. It said, “please enjoy!”. There were walkie talkies on a table. “This is weird” said U1,” why is there just walkie talkies, and everyone gets one and no extra”. 

Smoke (chapter 8) 

The vents began spewing fog, it soon took up every hallway. “What the heck!” said C0. “I hear F7 and H5” said B2. Everybody looked at her, confused and scared. “come closer Jessica” said some boy in the fog to me. Who was he calling to, my name wasn’t Jessica. It was B7. Then I remembered that I used to live at an orphanage, and I met a boy named, then I realized I could not remember. 

We kept walking through the fog. Soon we came to a dead end, I turned around and nobody was there. I turned on my radio to talk to the others.”B7 are you there” said C0 through the radio. “yes I am” I said, "good, I'm with B2” said C0, “what about U1” I asked. “I thought he was with you” pleaded C0. 

“Guys, don’t worry I'm fine” said U1. Silence, I could tell C0 did not trust him either. I walked into a room, the floor was a gate now, and a fan spun under it. I turned around and I was now in a new part of the maze. I was beginning to go crazy, every time I turned around, I was in a new place. I kept going until I found a hint of the others, a piece of cloth. My radio beeped, "everybody I found a mirror” said B2. 

“B7, B2 is with me and she has not found a mirror” said C0 over the radio. “what do you mean C0, I lost you a while ago” said B2. “AH-” screamed C0 over the radio. “What happened C0” asked B2 and she had worry in her voice. 

I ran as fast as I could go. Soon I found B2 crying next to a mirror. 

Blood has spilt (chapter 9) 

I went up to B2 and gave her a hug. U1 came from the fog bloody and bruised. He collapsed onto the ground. I picked him up, "I am sorry B7, but something here is a Skinwalker” he said. "Something snatched my radio” he continued. My radio beeped, “guys the B2 I was with was not B2, it was a strange looking lurker, I watched in horror as it peeled B2’s skin off it” C0 called over the radio. “I am bleeding severely, it sla-shed my stom-ach” C0 whispered over the radio. “Guys we have to find her before her time is up” B2 shouted as she stood up. 

She marched off, we followed. We all held hands, U1 carried the mirror. We soon found a blood trail. Suddenly the vents powered on and sucked in all the fog. We found C0 bleeding against a wall. I ripped off the bottom part of my shirt and wrapped it around C0’s stomach. We put the mirror against the wall, and we all touched it at the same time. 

Forgotten memories  (chapter 10) 

I was heading to the lunch room with my best friend (@%$*). He spent most of his time in the basement looking at the mirror. I ate with him, played with him, and just spend all my time with &*(#%-. He also had a friend named Ema, she was cold hearted towards me. 

The guy held my hand as I got into the van. He drove for a while, soon we pulled Infront of a big white building. The nice guy at the front desk called me special. He asked me how old I was, I said I was 5 and a quarter. He gave me a weird looking piece of candy, I ate it and felt drowsy. 

I woke up strapped down to a hospital bed, and my eye hurt. “Ah B7’s awake,” said a doctor. “my name’s B7?” I asked. "Of course, dear” said the doctor. Some pink wrinkly thing sat in a jar next to bloody tools. “What's that” I asked. The doctor immediately took away the cart while saying, “nothing dear!”.   

A familiar place (chapter 11) 

B2 shook me awake, my vision was blurry. “B7, are you ok” she said. We were in a cyan house. Ice cream truck music played outside. The house looked like the ones in the ocean, and the ground was grass outside. It reminded me of something, then I grabbed the notebook out of my pocket, and flipped to the bookmark where the species of lurker were. 

“Where are the others!” I gasped, “downstairs, B7” B2 said. I ran down the stairs and saw the others. They were sleeping and snoring very loudly. Soon they woke up, it turns out they found bandages. Somehow it was dark, it had only been five minutes. “Turn off the lights” U1 said. We flicked off all the lights. 

The ground shook, some light came in through the window for a second but dissipated. Then there was a roar and a scream, “somebody Heeelp!!!!” He pleaded. I didn’t know the voice, but it was still sad none the less. Soon it turned day and the ice cream music came back. 

Outside smelled like a mix of cut grass and the iron smell of rain. B2 came outside to see what I was doing, and told her I wasn’t doing anything, just getting a breath of fresh air. “Come in, we found some granola bars in a cabinet” B2 said. We all sat on the couch, while C0 laid down, but B2 sat really close to me while we all ate. U1 looked over, “B2 why are you sitting so close to B7” he asked. B2 blushed like crazy and scooted away. 

We found that there were three rooms each with a bed. We were all tired, especially C0, so we all claimed rooms, U1 and C0 got room one and room two. Me and B2 will have to share. 

The hotel (chapter 12) 

I woke up with B2 cuddling me, I was surprised, she woke up and immediately scooted away again. Her entire face was red, “I didn’t mean to, I swear” she said awkwardly. C0 walked into our room, “what happened, both of you are blushing?” C0 asked. Suddenly her face lit up, “so what happened” she said slyly. “Uuu-hh NOTHING!?!?” said C2 as quick as lightning. 

We walked out of the cyan house and walked in a random direction. B2 looked at her feet most of the time and was really shy. U1 gasped after C0 whispered something in his ear, then he looked at both me and B2. He went up to B2 and whispered something in her ear, she seemed to perk up after that. 

Something slapped my forehead, it was a rope. The rope went up to a massive building in the sky. We climbed the rope one by one and soon after we reached the entrance, we walked into the...HOTEL. We turned around but the entrance was gone, I felt a bad presence on top of something else. The feeling felt new and it made me feel good, it increased whenever I looked at B2. 

We wandered around until we heard something in the vents and dashed into rooms. Me and B2 ran into a room, and locked the door. Then banging came from the outside of our door. We hid in a closet together. 

It broke down the door, then B2 pinned me against the wall of the closet. It left as quickly as it came in, and the others came in a flash. B2 got really close to me before we left the closet when the others called our names. “why are you blushing so hard B7” asked U1, “I don’t know, I was just scared” I replied. “B7, you and B2 have been acting ‘strange’ lately” said C0. 

H1 and B2 whispered back to each other. While me and C0 just kept walking. I felt so flustered, my head spun whenever I looked at B2. 

Blossom (chapter 13) 

All the lights turned off, and we each got a room to ‘ourselves’. Someone climbed into my bed while I was trying to sleep. They locked their arms around me, and soon they were softly snoring. I woke up but no one was in my bed, though it looked like it. I walked to my bathroom and was surprised to see C0 in there, “sorry my water doesn’t work and I want to wash my face” she said. B2 was pacing around, mumbling something under her breath. When she saw me, her face lit up. “Hi B7!” She said loudly. 

We wandered through the hotels until we came across someone. “P9 is that you?” asked U1. “Other survivors!” He said joyfully. His shirt was covered in blood and grime, but he had no cuts. He had a dazed look in his eyes like he witnessed something he wasn’t supposed to. “Have you encountered the creature in the vents?” P9 asked. “Yes?” We all said. “did you lose anybody, cause that thing massacred my group of 5 in seconds” he said. 

Suddenly the vent gate burst open, and P9 was standing right beneath it. Razor sharp claws attached to a lanky pale arm plucked up P9 in a flash. I grabbed B2 by the hand and ran into a room with her. We went into the closet and hid. 

The thing came into our room, B2 looked at me with a special look in her eyes. “If I’m going to die might as well do this” she whispered softly to me. She grabbed my face, and got really close. “I love you, B2” she said. She leaned in and kissed me, a warm feeling passed through my body. 

“Leave my friends alone” said U1. BANG,BANG,BANG, the room fell silent, B2 leaned back. We opened the closet door. The creature laid dead on the floor, and it body went up in purple flames. 

A broken god (chapter 14) 

We walked into a grand hall and a golden mirror stood in the middle of the room, we went up to it. All my feelings pumped through my body but began to dissipate. The feeling stayed inside me though, and I found the word for it, LOVE. 

We touched the mirror, we could feel the power it held. We teleported to a temple, statues of eyes were everywhere, and I could feel them watching us. I tightened my grip on B2’s hand. 

We came across a giant wooden door, about ten feet tall. We opened it, the middle there was a ritual going on. A giant eye was in the middle, the Watcher. It stared at us for awhile, “children I see your injuries, yet you are not weak” It said. He stared at me and B2, “you kids are the strongest” It said, “I cannot act on you since you're not broken”. A rainbow mirror appeared, “this will lead you back to the real world” it said, “but you will not stay for long”. 

We all walked up to the mirror but I stopped and said, “what are you”. “ a dark force is what I am, people who yearn for something too much get sucked into my dimension to see how much they really want”. 

 

The lab (chapter 15) 

We arrived at a highway, I had a feeling we had to move. Cars sped past us, nobody was looking at us. They only snapped a look because me and B2 were holding hands. We went into an alley way. C0 rested against the wall, mostly because she was injured. 

 A van pulled up at the entrance of the alleyway. Big guys stepped out of the van and came towards us. They were holding tranquilizers. They aimed the guns at us, we began running, U1 carried C0. The guys were fast and had a ranged weapon. It wasn’t long until there was a dead end. 

I woke up in my lab bed. The notebook was no longer in my pocket. Thankfully, I still had all my memories of the realm. Soon it was lunchtime, so I was escorted to the cafe. I was able to see the others at the cafe. I sat next to B2, and I noticed we were the only ones that were in the cafe. C0 scarfed down on the PB and J with an apple, me and the others picked at our food. 

All four of us were escorted to the exercise room. We didn’t talk about the realm, so the lab doesn’t find out about it. When the guard saw me holding B2’s hand, he scoffed and separated us. But that did not stop B2, she glared at the guard and scooted back towards me. 

Then, they took us to a conference room. There was 4 chairs, each for one of us. A scientist with a name tag sat across us, “Dr.Walts top researcher”. 

Questions, questions, questions (chapter 16) 

He started by asking, “what happens to all the subjects we send through the mirror”. “Many things” said C0 pointing at her bandages. “Next question, why can only kids go through the mirror?” Walts asked. “Wait, how do you know that the kids die” asked U1. “We see their vital signs die out” he answered. “Some of their vital signs go wild then they're really strange after that”, “A breath every two minutes” Walts said while looking at his notes. “Why is that?” Walts asked. 

“They get sick, that’s all” B2 said and gripped my hand tighter under the table. “Sick with what, a normal sickness does not do this” Walts countered. We all froze, we didn’t know how to answer that. “a parasite that attacks the heart” I said trembling. 

“Hm weird” Walts said, showing he did not care. He probably thought it was a lie.me and B2 sank into our chairs, we shared something and all it got was a rude remark. “What is the mirror??” He asked, this is something we did not know. “We don’t know doc,” said U1. “Fine here’s another one, where does the mirror take you?” 

“I don’t know, California” C0 answered. “Hmm weird, and how do you think we found you so fast, lair” he said. C0 seemed shocked. “When we sent you through the mirror, you were no longer on planet earth. “Our guess is that the mirror takes you to another dimension” Walts said. He knew way more about the mirror than us. We were frozen, every claim we made was either dismissed or proved wrong. 

Sent like a letter (chapter 17) 

U1 asked him a very good question. “If you have vital signs, how many more kids are alive”. He pressed a button, and a worker brought him a tablet. “About ten kids, without any strange vital signs” Walts replied. “Who!” C0 yelled, “let's see, G0, D8, T3, I1, O5, V4, L9, Q2, and finally H4” Walts replied. Everyone gasped at that, tears welled up in C0’s eyes, and U1 seemed petrified. 

Walts gasped, “well there's nine now”. “Also, how many kids did you send off-” her voice was broken, it was clear that she was heartbroken. “About 130” said Walts, unfazed. “How many made it out” I asked, there was a lump in my throat. “Only one besides you guys” said Walts. “Wh--at Happ-ened to him-” B2 asked as she began crying. "He would not cooperate” he replied, I felt like this guy had no soul at all. 

“What was h-is na-me" U1 asked. “Hmmm, oh it was F7” Walts replied. B2 hugged me and wept on my shoulder. 

We were sent to a room with four, very comfortable beds. We all passed out in our beds, and B2 was so heartbroken to hear that the lab killed F7. We woke up in the morning and were taken back to the room. “When we sent Y5 we learned objects can pass through with a child” Walts said as we entered the room. “It’s time for the next phase” he remarked as he glared at us.
