Seen

Chapter 4

I didn't realize that I have slept until 12 p.m. Wow, being hospitalized really does makes your routine go off track.

Sounds of moaning, muffling and creaking sounds were heard in the next room. It startled me. I went to room to see what was going on.

Witnessing the scene before me as I opened the door of the next room gave me the horror of a lifetime.

A naked man was on top of Maze and was having coitus with her. Both their hands interlocked at the edge of the bed. They were really into it until they didn't realize that I have walked in on their intimate session.

I was sick to my guts. Walked out and closed the door shut. Where is my Mom? I'm really confused and embarrassed right now.

- “Hey babe, see you tomorrow night.”

- “Definitely Dunstan.”

It was them. “Dunstan” was panting his pants and then stretched out his arms to show off the broadness of shoulders and his brawny arms.

Maze was blushing. The bed sheet covered her naked body. They both kissed and bid goodbye.

- “Hey Sam, sorry you had to see that. Dunstan and me fought and just made up. Mom doesn't really knows about me having a boyfriend. If she does, she’ll go all religious on me and regarding on those you know what. Well you get my point. Don't tell Mom about this!”

Maze spoke rapidly until it was difficult for me to comprehend half of what she said. All I knew was I am supposed to zip my mouth shut and not mention this to Mom.

"Okay" was my only reply.

I felt awkward again.

My phone buzzed. It was a Whats App message from that same unknown number.

- “Wakey wakey! There's a special delivery under your bed.”

- “What do you want?”

- “We're going to play a game since you want to gain back your memory.”

- “Shut up! I don't need to know it through you.”

- “Go get the box. Instructions will be sent at 11.59 p.m. The game will start at 12.00 a.m. sharp.”

- “No.”

- “You will play this game or else someone in this house will die.”

I searched for a Block or a Report button. There wasn't one. I tried refreshing but it still didn't appear on the screen. I tried to screenshot the message but my phone wouldn't let me.

- “Samantha, lunch is ready.”

Maze's hair was wet with water dripping from the end of her locks and smelled like shampoo and she was wearing fresh clothes.

- “Maze, do you know this number?”

She squinted her eyes to look at the number.

- “No.”

- “This person seems to be pulling a prank on me and he or she seems to be taking it a little too much. Should I report it to the police?”

She was shocked of what I just said.

- “But Samantha, the conversation is completely empty.”

As shocked as she was. I looked at the screen and saw that it was completely empty.

Weird.

- “Maybe you must've pressed the‘Delete Conversation’.”

- “Not really.”

- “It's okay. Tell me when he messages you anything again.”

I nodded slowly. It was creepy for an entire conversation to disappear mysteriously.
