Trapped

The underground

Beth and Natania walked down the halls of the house trying to hear even the smallest sound that would give them hope that Nessa was still alive but the only sounds they heard were the sound of their sneakers hitting the wooden boards. The girls walked into a dark room looking for either Nessa or another note but as Beth had her back turned to Natania she heard the sound of something hitting the ground and someone groan in pain. Beth turned around thinking it was Nessa but realized she was alone.

"Natania where are you!?" Beth yelled.

"Down here!", Natania called back "come see this!"

Beth heard Natania's voice and followed it but as she stepped foot on the floor of the room in the hole she knew something was really wrong. Once Beth's eyes adjusted to the dark of the room she found her phone that was now on five percent and turned on the flashlight that they had kept forgetting to use. As soon as Beth could see again she saw a stretcher with blood stained sheets, large knifes covered in dry blood and jars with yellow liquids holding preserved fingers, toes and teeth. Beth felt as if her heart had dropped and she formed a lump in her throat.

"W-what is this?" Beth asked having troubles getting her words out.

"I-I think this is where they sacrificed humans and m-maybe did experiments on them, cruel experiments."

This was the first time since the girls were locked in the house that they stopped and thought about what happened to the people before them and came to the realization that they only had a fifty percent chance of surviving. At the side of Natania's eyes she saw a picture in a frame so she went to get it and as she got closer and Beth shined the flashlight on the picture she saw it was a picture of a little girl on a stretcher and a man in a lab coat standing up next to the stretcher. Natania picked up the picture and saw that the figure was holding up the child's fingers and was holding up a knife in the other hand. Beth took the picture from Natania's trembling hands and turned it over to see if there was anything written in the back.

"1988, My youngest experiment." Beth read out loud .

Natania inhaled sharply then there was a moment of silence that Beth broke.

"Let's just try to find Nessa."

Natania could barely talk so she simply nodded her head and the two girls climbed back up the hole , left the room and found themselves back into the hall. The both girls were at a point where they really just didn't feel like even trying to save Nessa, they just wanted to get out of the house but they couldn't because they had all been friends for years now and they refused to let the house come between them anymore. The girls were pulled out of their thoughts when they heard the sound of hands and knees crawling on the floor then they looked up and Nessa was crawling on her hands and knees in a white dress. Nessa looked up and Natania and Beth were staring into empty holes where her eyes once were.

"N-no,no,no, stop!" Natania plead to her mind to make her stop dreaming but she wasn't.

Natania and Beth backed away from the 'thing' crawling towards them with black holes for eyes,blood flowing down its face from its eyes.

"That's not Nessa, that can't be her, we need to stop dreaming, we need to stop dreaming!" Natania said with fear in her voice and trembling hands.

The girls heard mumbling then the thing that dragged Nessa away the first time came back with its feet dragging across the wooden floors and a jar in its hand with red liquid inside and both Beth and Natania realized that the object inside the jar was Nessa's eyes. The figure looked up at Natania and Beth for a few seconds then grabbed Nessa by the throat and dragged her away slowly. Nessa grunted as she was being dragged away but she didn't try to escape.

"There's no saving her we need to move on." Beth said in a monotone.

"B-but...ok." Natania said hesitantly.

The girls stood in silence for about one minute then they continued looking for another note but they weren't focused on the task at hand because all they could think of was Nessa. The girls found a room an entered it and immediately​ as they stepped foot into the room they felt something pull them to a wooden box, Nessa peeked in and found a diary page. The girls were hesitant to read the note but they did anyway.

"The souls with the holes for eyes." Natania read confused but then something clicked in her brain.

Natania realized at the same time as Beth that the thing they saw was Nessa's soul and now they needed to find her body and they were determined so they looked and they looked but it seemed like her body had disappeared. They decided to retrace their steps and go back to the place Nessa got dragged away. They were now at the door of the room and they were hearing someone whispering indistinguishable words. Beth opened the door and pushed Natania in walking in after her, Natania glared at her then looked around and saw Nessa sitting with her knees up to her chest, her eyes wide open and her skin looking the colour green. Beth and Natania rushed up to Nessa helping her up because she was sitting in a pool of blood that wasn't her blood because the only noticeable cuts she had were on her neck and arms.

"Nessa it's gonna be ok." Natania and Beth said at the same time.

"No,n-no,no go away." Nessa screamed

The girls thought she was speaking to them but then she raised a trembling finger up and pointed behind them. The girls looked behind them to see Nessa's soul crawling  towards them with a sinister smile on its face.
