Chapter 5

The pure white was still soothing, although it did hurt my eyes to look at it. My hope was that Caine wouldn't check the alert on his Wacky Watch™️ since everyone was meant to be sleeping. Hopefully that would allow me some more time with my memories

I stared into the blank nothingness for a while, nothing seemed to happen, when suddenly that purple door was coming into vision. It looked exactly the same as before, the same lavender color, with the same scratches on the door

Now that I think about it the door is the same color as I am, or I guess the weird rabbit thing I am. I started focusing more on the door and I think I could just barely make out yelling? Perhaps even crying?

What is happening behind that door? I'll stay here forever if it means I find out. I need to find out, maybe it'll even seed some clues as to how I'm meant to leave the circus

And then I realized I can get closer, I thought the door was a physical object I could see, and since you can't move in the void I never tried. But it's actually something in my mind, I can walk closer to inspect the door

Without missing I beat I ran over to the door, I was right someone or something was definitely crying, I'm just not sure why yet

I reached out to grab the door handle to open it, I haven't had much luck with doors so I wasn't very hopeful, but to my surprise it actually opened

The door slowly swung open with a slight creak, the crying stopped, the room was empty. Looking around I saw some posters of some band I vaguely remember. The walls were completly covered in posters and artwork but everything else was really bland

It reminded me of the exit area a little because of all the muted and soft colors. This room gave me a mixed feeling I didn't like, it made me feel happy and safe, but also distraught and anxious at the same time, it was weird

After I looked around for a bit I saw a figure curled up in the corner, their head was tucked between their knees like they were crying.

"Are you ok?" I asked, kneeling down to their level

The figure didn't do anything, instead they just lifted their head, and their face was red from crying, especially their eyes

"What happened?" I asked the figure

"M-my fucking p-parents" he choked out

"What'd they do?" I responded

The teen just looked down and ignored me

"It's ok if you don't want to answer, I'm just here to help" I told him

"No it's fine you can go" he said, almost turning into a new person

"You sure?" I asked

"Yep, you can go" he told me, pointing my to the door

As he ushered me out of the room I caught a glimpse in the mirror. It didn't show me, the purple rabbit, it showed the kid I was just consoling

'Was that me?' I thought to myself, as he slammed the door behind me

That had to have been, there's no way it wasn't, why else would it depict me as the teen that was crying, and the door being the same color as my rabbit avatar thing

Before I could think of it anymore I was grabbed by Caine and taken back to the circus.

"Well! I know you didn't get in through a glitch, so tell me how did you get there again?" Caine asked me

I was flip flopping between telling him about my keys and the exit, or just lying again. Against my better judgement, I decided to tell the truth

"Well we can't be having that! One moment!" He said before flying away very speedily, in the direction of my room

"WAIT" I yelled before chasing after him

But it was too late, by the time I had made it to my room, they were all gone, there wasn't a single key to be found

Guys I just realized I never specified that Jax needs a key to get into the exit area, so him not having his keys completely ruins any chances of finding the void or even exit🤠 so yeaAaAaAAaa

"No, no, no, no, no" I kept telling myself before I closed my door and went further into my room

"No, they can't all be gone, he didn't take them all, you can still find an exit" I said to myself

I kept searching my room, but to no avail, no keys were left, and I was locked out of the exit and void forever

"No... please" I said to no one before I backed into a wall and almost started crying. Too much had happened in 5 minutes and I couldn't handle it, I eventually broke down and started crying. I will never find an exit I'll never unlock more memories. Everything I've worked towards for years is gone

I don't know what time it is and I genuinely couldn't care less, I think if I gather my bearings for the rest of the day, I'll be able to go out with the group tomorrow so they won't get suspicious

YIPPEE chapter 5 done💪💪💪 chapter 6 is mOsT LiKeLy going to take a while, I predict a week or so because I have a lot of shit going on and I can't handle multiple things at one👍
