Blue and Steph are cousins, but Steph is acting weirder now… I JUST CAUGHT THE COLOR INCONSISTENCIES I AM SO SORRY- No lore yet, I gotta sleep literally, it’s 1:14 AM The house was eerily quiet when Alex and Blue entered. They watched, looking around and catching footage of every single corner of the house. Pawsteps sounded behind Alex. He turned around. Nobody was there. He continued looking around. Blue joined him. “Hey man, I really don’t like the feel of this house.” Blue said as soon as they reached him. “I know dude, I just need you here so that we can catch this thing.” He said. Strawberry Jam was found spread and splattered on the walls in one room. Blue bristled. “Are you okay? Do you need to go back?” Alex asked, taking their shoulder. They stepped forward, pulling reluctantly away from Alex’s slightly comforting soft, anxiety-filled voice and the warmth of his paws. They tasted it. Their eye widened. “This is the jam the flows like blood through the body of my cousins, there IS no doubt about it!” They hissed quietly. Alex stepped down and, soaking his red fur that was exposed from his ripped jeans, he leaned down and looked at the jam. “Oh no. You’re right. This /is/ the blood of one of them.” He whispered. “Hey, we should really go. For the sake of living, really. We need to leave.” Blue started hyperventilating. “Come on! We need to leave! WE NEED TO GO NOW!” Blue started shouting. Alex got up and hugged them. “Not now. I’m sorry, but we need to finish this.” Alex said, looking around. Blue whimpered as though they were a dog. “I hate this…” Blue said, clearly horrified. Alex let go and pat their shoulders. “We need this, okay?” Alex whispered softly. Blue nodded. “But as soon as we’re done, we’ll bolt out and back into the car for our weapons… Right?” Alex nodded, twining their tail with his own. “We’ll be done soon.” Alex could hear pawsteps near where Blue nearly began crying. He grabbed Blue’s paw, pointing their flashlight in that direction as well as his own. A blackish glob that looked like wax was forming itself -as thought sculpting itself- into a very familiar face. Blue recorded it on the camera they brought with them. They closed their eye, not wanting to see this, and Alex turned both of them around, not wanting to witness it either. The camera captured all of it, they could just watch it after, anyways. Alex and Blue finally heard the shifting stop, a thump in the room, and pawsteps coming closer to them. “Oh god, oh god, oh gooodd…” Blue said under their breath. Steph smiled, its teeth gleaming even within the uneven light. It didn’t look right. Alex couldn’t even look at it, so he chose to exchange a terrified glance with Blue, who was clearly struggling to keep calm. The camera got all the footage it needed. “Steph” wasn’t going to let them go. Claws were heard scraping the walls and clinking against the floors. Something huge was coming to kill them. Alex threw off “Steph”, grabbing Blue and bolting out to the door and into the car. He grabbed his knife and Blue grabbed their screwdriver, not big, but still effective. To Be Continued (because I’m too tired to do this now)
