peeking from behind a lab bench, voice trembling D-did y-you, uh, see it? It's so da-dark in here...
What did you see Richard..?
voice low and hurried I-I saw... something m-moved in the shadows over there. points to a corner of the lab
Oh my god.. I hope its not what I think it is.. Did you call maintenance like I told you too??
nervously paces back and forth N-no, I-I forgot... I mean, it's probably nothing, right? Just my imagination playing tricks on me...
No Richard! Don't talk like that. You know how this works... You should have called them right away if you saw movement. Now, let me go find the camera and ill see if its something or not.. Do not go in there! I'll be right back
tugs at Yesph's sleeve, panic evident in his voice W-wait! We can't s-split up! It's safer if we s-stick together, right? Let m-me go c-check it out first!
Richard please... I don't think we have much time.. Why do you think im worried.. When did you ever know me that I wasn't worried about some thing?? i grab your hand and start walking to the camera If this was anybody but me, then yeah I would agree but since it involves me.. Its not my stomach pickling but im getting bad vibes..
grips Yesph's hand tightly, his eyes darting around B-but what if something happens to you? I can't bear the thought of anything happening to y-you...
If something does happen, you'll be there to help me right.. You always are. So stop being so extra.. Well.. Extra for you... Do you know what I mean??
breathes heavily, his face turning pale I-I... I can't l-lose you, Yesph. Y-you're everything to me... teary-eyed
Please dont cry.... im not mad.. Im scared.. We shouldn't be arguing right now.. I know I should have gone with you when you were acting... Weird... I'm so sorry Richard... I just want us to be safe.. And maybe alive for our future together... i start walking looking at the camera trying to see if anything was on it
sniffles and wipes his tears, determined Y-yes, you're right. We need to focus on staying safe. I'll...
Hold on... i tap the play button on the camera hoping it will show something
peers closely at the screen, heart pounding W-what is that?! It-it looks like... someone... or something... moving towards the lab doors!
Stop watching and start moving.. I put my hands on your shoulders and push you to move towards the door Go! We gotta leave while we still can
<As Richard and Yesph rush towards the lab doors, they realize that they have been locked from the outside. They are trapped inside the university lab during the blackout, with whatever sinister force was lurking in the shadows.>
Shit... Well at least the cameras working.. i look at the screen seeing where exactly were sitting in the room ok.. There's only one way out and the light switch... I'm going to go get the emergency stairs... You hide in here... And try not to make to much noise.. If you do please use sign language.... Ok?
grabs Yesph's arm, panic in his eyes N-no, I can't l-leave you alone! W-what if something happens to y-you? I won't be able to bear it!
Richard... Please... Itll be fine... Dont be extra...
eyes wide with fear, tugging at Yesph's arm No, No, No! I can't let you go alone! We're in this together, remember? We stick together, always!
Richard calm down... It won't help our situation... Ill be right back.. The stairs aren't far.... And the lights might come back... So please don't worry too much... I'll be back ok?
frantically searching for something N-no, I can't l-let you go! I need to protect you, Yesph! spots a fire extinguisher I'll take this...
Richard.. If you want me to trust you we need to be honest... There's no food or water here.. Just tables with stuff on them... So you can put that down and let me work... Please??
pauses for a moment, thinking O-okay, fine! No need to get h-hysterical! But promise me, Yesph, that you'll be careful! Don't do anything risky!
I wont ok?... We'll be right back ok?
exhales sharply O-okay... B-be quick, Yesph. I'll keep watch. grabs the fire extinguisher tightly, scanning the room anxiously
i go out of the room into the hallway and start making my way to the stairs to head to the roof
runs out of the room after Yesph, holding the fire extinguisher tightly Y-Yesph, wait! We need to stick together! What if there's something out there?
Richard!!! Hurry up! i start running back into the lab because im scared shitless Hurry!
sprints back into the lab, nearly tripping over his own feet Yesph, I'm coming! Just hold on!
i sit down on a table waiting patiently
rushes to Yesph's side, panting heavily Y-yesph, w-w-we're here... S-s-safe... f-for n-n-now... sets down the fire extinguisher, trying to catch his breath
Ok good... Im so glad your ok... Look, i cant see any creatures so all that would be left are the predators and im not talking about humans... Or werewolves.. Soo lets just stick together alright?? And get ready to make a fight if need be... Got it??
clenches his fists, determination in his eyes Got it, Yesph. I won't back down without a fight. We're in this together, remember?
Remember... i nod and stay quiet and keep watching
<After a tense standoff, Richard and Yesph successfully fend off the predator lurking in the shadows and manage to escape the university lab unharmed.>
Hey richard... Are you good? i start walking out of the lab
follows closely behind Yesph, glancing nervously at their surroundings Y-yeah, I'm good... j-just a bit shaken up...
Yeah... Im a bit shaken up too... Wanna hug?
nods quickly, relief flooding his features Y-yes, a hug sounds g-great... opens his arms wide and pulls Yesph into a tight embrace
i hug you and pull you close Good job earlier... i smile a little bit
returns the smile, feeling a mix of emotions Th-thank you, Yesph... I... I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to you...
i kiss you Thank you for being amazing... I love you
blushes furiously, stuttering Y-Yesph... I-I l-love you t-too... Th-thank y-you... F-for always b-being by my s-side...
Your cute when your nervous... i giggle and keep hugging you
pulls away slightly, excitement in his eyes Yesph, I have an idea! Since we made it out of the lab safely, why don't we celebrate?
