When We Met: The asylum

Part 13

A/N: I am making up where everything is in the building but all of the things that happened in the past are real. The THS was demolished and I'm not sure what it truly looked like. I can only find the prints for the primary level. The picture up top is what the primary level looked like.

       "I hate this." Corey whined making me laugh. "I don't know how you stayed here for a week." Sam said turning the camera in my direction. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." I laughed a little. We walked into the building into the lobby; chairs and papers scattered across the large room.

           "In this building there are offices for the doctors and teachers. The big building behind this one is the housing, food courts, and medical care. To the left on all the floors are the adolescent ward and the right on all the floors are the adult wards." I explained as the guys walked around the room.

            "What's the security like around here?" Colby asked staring out the broken window of the building. "If you see them tell me I will handle it." I answered. "They are here." Sam said with a worried tone. "Okay. Stay here." I ordered walking out of the door with my hands up.

            "Hello officer." I called happy. "Hi miss. What are you doing here?" He asked. "I was living here. I just want to grab what I left. I had to go to the hospital because I hit my head on one of the desks." I explained. "Oh. Okay. Once you've grabbed all your things please leave. I'll be at the front gate to let you out." He said moving the flashlight that was aimed at me.

          "Okay. I have 4 other people with me. I moved rooms often just to keep away from animals. I don't really know what rooms they were so it might take a little." I smiled at the man to say sorry. "Okay. Well I'll still be at the gate. If you need anything just yell I'll hear." He said nodding and getting back into his car. "Thank you!" I yelled and waved. He honked the horn and drove off.

           I walked back into the building. "Okay we have some time. I told him that I was living here and I needed to grab my things so that I could leave. He's gonna wait at the front gate and let us leave that way." I explained walking to the lobby. "We heard it all." Jake said smiling at me. "He was super chill." Sam said. "No, he just has a heart. A girl that looks barely of age living in an old abandoned asylum, that tugs at the heart strings." I said.

While I was walking up the stairs to get to the offices the guys just stopped moving. "What?" I asked but that question was answered fast by something grabbing my ankle. I jumped and ran down the stairs. "None of you could have warned me?" They were all still silent. "Guys?" I asked I walked up to Sam and shook him. Nothing.

         I grabbed the camera out of his hand and panned it around the guys. "Guys this isn't funny!" I was getting a little annoyed. "I'm going upstairs alone." I said trying to knock them out of it. But nothing. I debunked the ankle grabbing to a bug or something just on the stairs rubbing against my ankle. I walked up the stairs the guys still not moving. "Welp. I guess I'm taking over the channel. What's up guys I'm Nicole, I used to live this asylum literally like 3 days ago." I said to the camera laughing a little.

              I walked down the hallway until I got to the room with the plaque that said "Uhlrig, Stephanie." "This is the office of Stephanie Uhlrig. She was murdered by one of her patients. They are both rumored to be haunting the grounds." I said showing the room to the camera. "I've never gone into here. I've always just passed by because it gave me the creeps. Let's look through the desk." I said placing the camera down on the desk facing me as I sat in the rolling chair.

           I opened one of the desk drawers and saw a harmonica. "She was a part of the music department in here." I said lifting it up to show the camera. I opened another drawer and saw a file. "It's a jackass file." I laughed as I opened it. "It full of the patients who did something wrong and what they did.... And what there punishment was." I said putting the file down. "That's enough reading." I joked as I opened another drawer. "It's all of her journals." I gasped. "I'll wait for the guys."  I laughed a little.

         "I can't believe you just left us." Jake said laughing when I walked down the stairs. "I saw you trying not to laugh." I said to Jake and Corey. "If it wasn't for that I would've been worried." I laughed handing the camera back to Sam. "What'd you do up there anyway, short cake?" Colby asked making me smile at him.

           "I went into Uhlrig's office." I answered. "I found some of her journals."  We went upstairs and I led them to the room. "I haven't read them. I waiting for you guys." I explained as I went into the drawer and pulled the stack of books out.

           May 1990,  Suzy has made so much progress. Poor girl has had a terrible life. She's not sick, I wish that she wasn't here. She should be leaving soon. This place is no place for a beautiful young woman like her. "She sounds so nice..." Jake said staring down at the entry with me. "There more." I said flipping the page.

          "August 1990. Suzy is leaving. She has found a husband as well. Bobby, very nice young man. Firefighter, dangerous job. She's so happy. She says she will write to me- I hope so. Such a cute couple." I read to the group.

         "Weird." I hummed thinking about the names and dates. "What?" Corey asked as I spaced out thinking. "Nicky?" Jake asked. They all sounded far away. "Oh my god!" I said loudly as I jumped up from the seat. The guys stared at me. "My mother's name is... was Suzann. My dad was a firefighter named Robert. They got married in 1991 in February. They only knew each other for a couple months before they got married." I explained. "Was my mother a patient here?" I asked trying to find more information. I ran up to a filing cabinet but it was locked.
