this will be a bit weird so bare with me im writing this based on a long dream i had. Also fair warning this will get really really really dark at times so if you can't do dark please don't read for your own health. this story will also be shorter and have smaller chapters. so just a heads up Chapter 1 I ran and ran as fast as I could I knew I couldn’t look back not after what I had told my parents when they found my stash. I knew I could never go back home now. I knew I was on my own. My male name is D.J. My female name is Emily. It’s the secret I’ve been trying to hide from my parents for years and thought I was doing a good job. At 19 with no income no job and stuck at home living with my parents I did everything I could to keep them from seeing who I really was. I knew I should have checked everything that morning before I left but my dumb-ass forgot to hide a dress I had, and I when my mom grabbed it a pacifier fell out of it. When I got home, they both sat me down and asked me about it, once they started yelling, I just took off and haven’t stopped running. I don’t know how long I had been running but it seems like hours to me. I decided to stop and look around knowing I would have to reset for a bit before I moved more tonight. “HELLO?” I yelled knowing it was hopeless I was in an empty field and the closet things were some old buildings that looked like they had seen better days. I make my way towards them hoping to at least get some shelter for the night. I knew it wouldn’t get too cold, but I didn’t want to risk it tonight. I had forgotten to take any of my savings or even my wallet with me all I had on me were the clothes on my back. After what seemed like almost an hour I was at the old buildings, it looked like a group of 4 or 5 apartment buildings around each other with maybe a courtyard in the middle I couldn’t tell for sure. The buildings must have been from the 70’s the outside of them covered in graffiti and looking like a mess. I got to the closest apartment and went inside the back door where the sliding glass should have been. It looked nice compared to the outside the room looked like no one had touched it in years I couldn’t even see any rust on anything not even the paint was peeling. “Hello? Is anyone here?” Yell in the room not hearing anything I open the front door and look out in the middle of the apartment’s my guess had been right it had a nice sized courtyard with swings a sandbox and play area for kids. Despite it’s age it still looked fairly new like most of the inside of this place did I couldn’t see any graffiti on the walls In here like I did on the outside and to be honest it creeped me out a bit. I looked around more and made my way up some stairs on the side and on each floor, I found the same thing rooms that looked perfect with no real damage to them or anything. I was starting to get really confused now with this place, I had heard stories about this place as a kid growing up but none of the adults at school or even my own parents would tell me what happened to this place it was the one place in town where there was no buildings around it for miles and I could never find out why no matter how hard I had looked and now to be here myself. I have no real idea how I even ended up here I thought I ran south while this place was north something I felt wanted me here so I kept looking in each of the rooms hoping to find something. I got to the 4th floor and checked the first room that was next to the stairs and that’s when I saw them. Shinny brand new metal toy car next to what looked like a barbie doll from the 70’s, now I was really confused more than ever. “Hello, is there anyone there?” I yelled again hoping to get an answer this time. That’s when I heard it what sounded like a child’s giggle. I quickly ran out of the room and followed the noise before I found another room. From how it looked it looked like it had been set up a daycare for the younger kids that lived here, cribs living the wall still all looking new changing tables on the other wall with 2 playpens in the middle of the room filled with toys. I looked around a bit more and that’s when it hit me like a ton of brick’s there were cloth diapers and plastic pants all brand new. I move forward to get a better look and that’s when I feel my foot kick something, I look down and notice what looks like a brand new clean stuffed animal. I look the stuffed animal over more and notice it’s a bright white baby seal clean as can be with no dust. Panicked I drop it and slowly back away. “WHO EVER IS HERE THIS IS NOT FUNNY.” “What do you mean dear nothing here is meant to be funny.” I can feel my voice stuck wanting to come out but all I can make is a light breathing sound…. I slowly turn around back to where the cribs were and that’s when I see a nice looking tall Hispanic woman. She had to be at least 6 foot 5. She towered over me I was barely 5 foot 2. “Um… Who are you?” I ask shaking. “You can call me Elizabeth. I guess you could say I’m the caretaker here.”

I'm really, REALLY hoping there isn't some hidden rule against non-original-character/story fanfics on this site; I looked all over and asked around, and didn't find any, so... And I will, of course, be including a disclaimer.
