Chapter 6 - Counting Hours

"18, 19! Made it to the 19th Hour! Not even Fucking kidding." Max said.

In the room, Anthony heard breathing and noises inside the walls.

"Uh, guys? Something wrong with the simulation? IS NOBODY HEARING THIS?" Anthony tried calling out, but again, he could only think.

"You hearing things again, aren't you?" Crakle Said.

"I'm not hearing things, there's probably a literal person in there." Anthony said.

"I hear what you're saying, but all you're reminding me of are those times where you were off your medication, keeping you from going insane. Makes me question if YOU'RE taking the medication." Crakle explained in the most sinister voice.

Outside the simulation, the body of Karen Is outside the door to enter, Arnold picks up the body, and brings it inside.

David is in the room, noticing a camera with Max holding up a sign, saying, let me out.

"No, you've caused way too much trouble to let that happen." David said.

Max realizes a crack within the door, then begins her plans, once again.

"Fuck off, okay?" Max said.

David looks away from the camera.

"Arnold, you got her body?" David said.

"Yeah, interestingly enough, she came with a note in her pocket, saying don't give this to my ex, he'll be pissed otherwise." Arnold said as he gave the card to David, reading that Karen and Anthony were in a relationship sometime.

Inside the simulation, Anthony is still lying down, Max took down Crakle, and Max is after Anthony.

"Are we done yet, Crakle?" Anthony said.

Max continued anyway, being baffled Anthony didn't hear Crakle's unconscious body fall to the floor.

Just before Max could get him, Max is forced to leave the body, As Alice was regaining Consciousness.

"Wait... Where am I? Wh-" Before Alice can finish what she was saying, she was sent out of the room by Max, who locked it.

"Who the fuck did that? If you don't know, I AM getting in there. Open this damn door, or I'll do it myself!" Alice said as she banged the door loudly.

Outside the simulation, Arnold was noticing, who they thought, Max, outside the door banging on it.

"Max, stop playing around." Arnold said.

"I am not Max! Max is in the room, I am locked out AND I'M GONNA BREAK A MOTHERFUCKING DOOR DOWN!" Alice said.

"That's Alice?" Arnold said.

"I guess, I can't really verify. But judging by the constant profanity used by her, it's probably Alice, open the door." David said.

Arnold manually opened the door, and Alice bursted through.

"Hello Ma-" Alice cut herself off, after seeing Max.

"Max?" Alice poked Max, but Max grabbed Alice's finger, and Alice immediately fell onto the floor, blacking out. Alice's Soul is very sick, and Max uses this opportunity to take control again.

"I've *cough, cough* tried to warn that human, and others to not fuck *cough* with me, and this is why." Max says, in a voice that sounds sick.

Outside the simulation, and dumbfounded, the two members of the group try something... Different, they attached a dead corpse of Karen, and sent it into the simulation.

"Max, use this corpse, for a quick second." Arnold said.

"What are you doing?" David said.

"Listen, I got an idea, if she is sick in Alice's body, she still feels human conditions, meaning, if we put her in Karen's dead body, she won't be able to do anything because she's dead." Arnold said.

"Arnold, that could be a good idea. send the body in." David said, then which, he sent the body into the simulation.

There's a bit of a problem, though. As the body that was used in the past simulation is being used now, it means she'll be sent into the simulation where her and James died rather then the Sleep paralysis simulation.

"*sigh*, didn't work, send her back. Can we call it a day, now? We've made it to hour 20. Meaning, we have 8 hours to sleep." David said.

"Guess we'll call it a day here, well just take Anthony out, and we'll bring him back tomorrow. Alright Anthony, we're sending you back." Arnold said.

"Umm, might want to do it quickly, crazy dead chick's gonna try and kill me. Don't want that to happen." Anthony thought.

He was sent out very quickly. And left the facility.

"Y'know, it's pretty ridiculous that shit like this is happening on our 5th run." Arnold Said.

"Oh, yeah. Our 5th run. What happened to the 1st?" David said.

"Shit Happened, and now Max Happened." Arnold said.

Max sat down, waiting for the next simulation to happen.

"Fucking pissed that they didn't let me kill him, Well glad he's coming back tomorrow, I REALLY need to get some killing going." Max said.
