Trapped

Alone

Natania and Beth ran out of the room but when they turned around Nessa was looking at them sadly from inside the room.

"I can't leave without a soul."
Nessa spoke so softly they almost didn't hear her.

"We can't leave you, what are we going to do?" Natania wondered.

"Just leave me,I'm safe here. You need to hide or else the man will find you."

The girls knew they had no time to ask who the man was so they ran off as fast as they could run. The girls saw an empty room and even though they had negative feelings about going into the room they didn't know what else to do so they hid inside the room behind a bookshelf until they heard heavy footsteps walk up to the door then continue walking.Natania was about to turn towards Beth when she heard her gasp. Natania looked at Beth and followed her eyes to where she was looking and realized there was a door without a handle behind them. Natania was about to push the door open but Beth grabbed her wrist.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Beth whispered

"Going to see what's on the other side of this door."

"You don't know what's behind that door, it could be dangerous."

"We're trapped in a haunted house I don't think it gets more dangerous Beth!"

Beth just sighed and motioned for Natania to continue. Natania pushed open the door and it was just like a tunnel in the walls so they walked in and took a right there was a red glowing light in the 'tunnel' that seemed to float over them like mist. The girls were actually enjoying exploring the tunnel until the loud sound of the heavy boots came back but this time it was louder and it sounded closer but now there was nowhere for the girls to hide so they stood still and waited until a figure approached from the mist. The figure's long lab coat dragged on the floor as it approached the girls and then they blacked out.

Natania woke up and she was back in the room they had found earlier with the stretcher and the jars with body parts but this time she was on the stretcher and the room seemed darker. She looked to the side of her to see if Beth was there but she was alone and then she saw what she thought was Beth's hand stick out from the darkness and wave at her but there was blood running down 'Beth's' arm.

"Beth come out and quit playing games!"

Then the arm dropped to the floor and Natania realized that it wasn't connected to a body but cut off from one, but who was holding it up? Natania didn't want to find out so she tried to get up but she was strapped down. She struggled to get out until her constant moving made the straps loosen enough for her to drag herself out of the first strap that held down the upper part of her body. Her hands were now free so she ripped off the straps surprised that the person in the shadows who had been holding up the arm hadn't come out and tried to keep her down but she didn't have time to think, she didn't want to think so she just ran, she climbed up the hole but only the upper half of her body got out of the hole before something grabbed onto her foot and began trying to pull her down but when she looked back there was nothing behind her but she could still feel something pulling her down. She kicked and kicked until the thing let go and she climbed out of the hole fully and ran out of the room. She was alone for the first time in a long time and she was scared she felt as if something or someone was following her as she walked around the house alone,scared,lost and confused. Natania had no idea where Beth was and when she checked back to where they had found Nessa she wasn't there the only thing that was left was a sad,dark feeling in the room. All Natania could hear was her own breathing and all was left to do was to find the rest of the notes and get out of the house or give up. Natania was walking around deciding what to do and almost sure she was alone when she heard

"I'm near." In a very childish manner but the actual voice was deep and had an eerie tone to it.

Natania didn't know where to hide anymore she felt helpless so she decided not to hide.

"Come out you creep!" Natania said with fear in her tone and tears threatening to spill onto her cheeks.

She heard a low chuckle but still nothing came out and she was left in silence once again wondering if the thing would come back or if it had even left. She continued to look for the notes and occasionally looked over her shoulder to see it she was still alone. The first note she found said

"wanna play?"

Natania knew she didn't have a choice and that's when the voices began to talk.

"I'm going to kill you."

Natania didn't reply because she was afraid that it was all in her head or that if she replied she would make it more real or give it more power so she roamed the halls of the house looking dazed.

"Is this your stupid game? To terrorize me?"

When she said that she heard the evil chuckle again and the sound of nails scraping against a chalkboard and a deep, burning cut formed on her arm. She didn't know what to do anymore, she felt helpless, alone, scared and lost.
