We are few – Creepypasta

Estimated Studying Time — 7 minutes

Simply the idea was sufficient to draw me. “An Web below the Web. The darkish internet,” is how my previous pal Kyle described it to me. It wasn’t till he gave me an inventory of hyperlinks that I might actually perceive why folks referred to as him “darkish”. Months earlier than his passing, Kyle had turn out to be progressively darker in nature. Empathy appears to be disappearing from him. He’ll inform me later that it began together with his dive into the darkish internet. He got here throughout a web site so twisted it might flip even essentially the most beneficiant individual right into a demented parallel to his previous self.

After virtually per week of chatting with him on the darkish internet, Kyle lastly agreed to share his secret stash of hyperlinks with me. He instructed me by no means to share a single hyperlink with anybody. This assertion made me uneasy as to what I used to be getting myself into, however my curiosity latched onto the sting of my mind, able to spring from my cranium. I needed to see this for myself. To do that, I needed to meet him the following day on the previous library downtown.

The subsequent day I used to be exhausted. I had stayed up till the wee hours of the morning, scouring the web for info on the darkish internet. I discovered movies speaking about underground drug trafficking websites and individuals who claimed to have first-hand experiences that scarred them for all times. Listening to that sort of stuff would possibly flip a standard individual off, however I wasn’t one in every of them.

It was virtually 9 o’clock once I arrived on the library. Kyle and our good pal Justin had been ready for me, sitting on a bench simply exterior the entrance doorways. Justin smiled, blissful to see me, and stood as much as give me a hug. Kyle remained seated, but in addition appeared blissful that I had arrived. We spent the morning hanging out, grabbing a chew to eat at our native cafe and bagel store. From there we headed to what Kyle referred to as “the nest”. It was a picket fort we had constructed years in the past, situated within the woods behind the native grocery store.

Upon reaching the nest, Justin and I seen that Kyle had accomplished some kind of “redecorating”. What had all the time been a easy picket fort was now utterly coated in black tarpaulins. He mentioned he had spent nights there and he did not need any homeless folks stumbling throughout. Uncommon, sure, however it was clear that Kyle was troubled. We did not need to intrude together with his method of dealing with every little thing he was going via.

All of us sat on previous chairs that I had discovered within the dump a while in the past. Kyle reached into his pocket and pulled out his telephone. He opened his notes app and requested me if I used to be certain I needed the checklist. I mentioned I used to be. He copied the checklist, pasted it right into a textual content and despatched it to me. He instructed me to not open it till I used to be prepared to start my dive into “the infinite cavern that’s the deep internet”. I accepted and the textual content was despatched.

As if he had forgotten one thing necessary, Kyle abruptly stood up and left. Justin and I requested the place he was headed, however he was sparse in his response, saying he had some enterprise to take care of. Ignoring this as one other Kyle quirk, Justin and I spent the following few hours sitting and speaking. He instructed me how Kyle helped him discover this courting app, and the way he now has a date with a lady from the following city. I used to be blissful for him. He was an excellent man, however he had by no means had luck with ladies. I requested him if he remembered our horrible first kiss in second grade. He laughed and gave me a loving pat on the shoulder. Since then, he and I had turn out to be good mates.

Once I bought dwelling within the early afternoon, my mom was sleeping on the couch. She had labored one other double. I grabbed a blanket over the loveseat and draped it over her so she was snug. I headed to the kitchen to seize a snack and made my technique to my bed room to start my journey into the uncharted waters of the darkish internet.

From the movies I watched the evening earlier than, I discovered that I needed to obtain a particular internet browser. It was one of many few methods to entry that a part of the web. Because it was put in, I opened Kyle’s textual content and rapidly skimmed via the hyperlinks. He had despatched me an excellent fifteen to learn.

As soon as the set up was full, I opened it and entered the primary hyperlink within the checklist. It took some time to load, however I used to be lastly greeted by a welcome web page to an underground video-sharing web site. I spent a couple of minutes scrolling via the movies, on the lookout for an excellent one to observe. There’s one title that caught my eye…it was a video from our native McDonald’s! Rapidly, I clicked and watched.

As soon as loaded, I spotted I used to be safety footage, dated simply three months in the past. I noticed my pal Katie, who labored nights there. She stood in the midst of the body, slowly transferring away from the counter. It was obscure precisely what was occurring at first, however after some time the photographs turned clear. She had rolled up her sleeves, apparently panicked by the looks of his arms. I seen motion below the again of his shirt, as if a gust of wind had swept via the restaurant.

Later within the video, she reached for the ice cream maker. The footage turned blurry for a second, then turned clear once more, exhibiting Katie strolling via the door. She had disappeared just a few months in the past, and I questioned if that was the final time we’d see her. The entire city thinks she killed her father, as he was discovered useless at their dwelling the identical day he disappeared.

Panicked, I exited the browser and sat in silence for some time. After gathering my braveness, I reopened the search engine and typed within the following hyperlink on the checklist. I used to be directed to a web site that had dwell streams of what are referred to as “purple rooms”. I clicked on the primary stream and noticed a hooded determine beating a lady tied to a chair. I rapidly left the location when the person appeared instantly on the digital camera and pulled a knife from his pocket. I did not need to see what was going to occur subsequent.

Persevering with via the hyperlinks, I got here throughout increasingly disturbing websites. One of many hacked child screens, a toddler trafficking web site, and one other containing an inventory of categorised federal circumstances. The primary was referred to as “Black Household”, a reputation I distinctly bear in mind listening to on the information earlier than.

Lastly, I entered the final hyperlink. My monitor went black. After some time, a small flashing line appeared in the midst of the display screen. Assuming one thing was fallacious with the hyperlink, I tried to depart the web page, however the display screen was locked in place. The phrases then began pounding in entrance of my eyes.

“Whats up Jamie. We’re the silence. We’re the loneliness. We’re few, and shortly you would possibly lastly get up. Who was doing this? How did they know my identify? Two buttons appeared on the display screen beneath the textual content. The one on the left learn “Be a part of”, the one on the fitting learn “Go away”. Formally panicked, I pointed my cursor on the exit button. I obtained a small pop-up message telling me that the exit was not not allowed.

Random photos appeared, too rapidly for me to concentrate on only one. When he stopped, I used to be proven a dwell stream of myself. My webcam was on. In horror, I attempted to show off my laptop, however to no avail. It stayed on it doesn’t matter what I did. A demented lullaby then performed via my audio system. I sat there for some time listening to him, confused and anxious about what was occurring.

On the finish of the track, a loud cry rang out. Startled, I bought as much as run out of the room. I heard what sounded just like the knock on the entrance door of my home. I yelled at my mom as I ran. I heard him scream, accompanied by the sound of a person telling him to close up. Once I lastly reached the underside of the steps, she was being dragged out of the home. One other man was standing gazing me, frozen on the backside of the steps.

“Who’re you?! What would you like?! The place are you taking my mom?!” I shouted, dashing in direction of the hooded man in entrance of me. I used to be greeted by his fist. I hit the bottom laborious and handed out. Once I got here to, I used to be in what appeared like an deserted warehouse. My palms had been tied behind my again. I struggled, making an attempt to free myself however I could not. I appeared round and located my mom tied up a brief distance away. I shouted at her, desperately making an attempt to wake her up. She remained unconscious.

My ears rang, as if somebody had clapped their palms proper subsequent to my head. With tunnel imaginative and prescient, I attempted to scream, however I could not even really feel my vocal cords vibrating to make a sound. When my imaginative and prescient returned, a creature, which I do not bear in mind the looks of in my life, was floating above the bottom just a few ft in entrance of me. Though his look escapes me, I bear in mind him gazing me, his eyes a fiery orange fireplace. He held out his hand to me and I began to drift too. My bonds loosened as I hovered over the creature. He wrapped his hand round my face. The sensation was indescribable. By his fingers, I might see a light-weight emanating from inside; one thing popping out of my mouth, being absorbed into the beast. When that glow pale, I misplaced consciousness.

Once I got here again a second time, I used to be dwelling in mattress. Frantically, I stood up and scanned the room. Kyle was sitting within the chair in entrance of my laptop. My mom was knocked out, mendacity on the ground subsequent to my mattress. I used to be nonetheless terribly scared, but in addition mad at Kyle for what I had been via. I cried, begging him to inform me what was occurring. He bought up slowly, walked to my bed room door and checked out me. When he spoke, it was impassive.

“We’re few in quantity, and shortly you would possibly lastly get up. Congratulations. You survived the primary trial.
