The Plague Doctor's Cure

The air is cold, frigid even, and my hands start to go numb after a while. Why am I even here? Who put me here? Why does it feel like something is here with me…? Out of every place I could be stuck in, it had to be an abandoned hospital… although why are some of the lights still on? Truth be told, I'm glad that the lights are on, the dreadful night approaching the horizon scares my mind due to the fear of the unknown, but I am safe in here… right?

I walk down the lifeless hallway as each step reverberates off of the walls as scrapes of paint lay across the corners. This is beyond eerie, but not so bad… At least it's silent… The doors that scatter across the area seem to all be closed, each time that I pass one, I try to open it only to realize that they're locked. Maybe there's somewhere to stay? I don't like to stay out here in the open, it just feels like I'm being watched… Or maybe someone really is watching me…?

The hallway seems to stretch on for miles, seemingly having more twists and turns here and there, with each turn making me more confused. "Why am I even here…? Hello?! Is anyone there?!" I was getting desperate, the silence was getting to me, and I hated it. My mindless wandering finally paid off as I saw in the distance a door that seemed to be ajar. After reaching the said door, I pushed it open with a bit of difficulty, the door seemingly feeling a bit stuck, but it makes sense seeing that this hospital is abandoned. As the door opens, and after I entered the room, I immediately got hit with a sense of dread, the feeling as if something was with me, but I can't even see anything in the room, the darkness engulfing the area as I was left to use my other senses to navigate.

I was supposedly halfway into the room until I heard the loud creaking of the door behind me before it closed shut. My mind whirred as I tried running towards it to stop the door, but it was no use, the door closed in on me as I bumped into it with a loud THUD as I groaned from the force. "Ow… that hurt, but more importantly… Who's there? Who closed this there? hello?" I tried knocking on the door, seeing if I could get a reaction, but to no avail. I turned my back to the door as I slid down it, sitting on the floor as I laid my head on my knees, and let out a deep sigh. "Why is this even happening to me? I just wanted to relax and stuff, but no, apparently I get stuck inside a room filled with dread as the darkness fills it to the brim. Sigh."

I then felt the tingling sensation of something breathing down my neck as I stumbled to my side and back away from whichever direction I felt the breathing. "W-Who's there? Where a-are you?" My body starts to tremble as I feel a piercing gaze through the dark, the… whatever it is… seemingly eyeing me as I stumbled more backwards, finally hitting the wall as my heart started racing while my breath was becoming ragged and erratic. "The pestilence… It has infected you… Let me cure you…" The voice sent chills down my spine, hearing it felt as if they were transmitting their voice from a very high definition radio… Then I heard steps, heavy footsteps which echo from every direction because of the room as whatever it is that decided to stay with me in this room approached me, then room suddenly filled with bright light as I shielded my eyes from becoming blind as all I saw in front of me were dark robes and black shoes "You mustn't be afraid… I only wish to cure you… So no need to fight." 

"G-Get away from m-me!" I staggered as I got up from my position and looked around the room, seeing a table as I ran towards it and used it to give distance as to not let whatever that is to get near, but I realized that became futile as I felt the breathing behind my neck once more. Was he so fast that he could move within a single blink? What even is this thing? I turned around, only to be face to face with the supposed plague doctor as it places its hand on either side of me on the table as it traps me in between "W-What are you doing-!" I get shushed as it places a gloved finger on my lips "You reek of the pestilence, but if you will simply accept my cure, you'll be freed from this disease…" He leans in closer, his hands closing in as the plague doctor starts to hold each side of me, my face feeling weirdly hot all of a sudden as I felt them tug me forward, by body being pressed up against them as I was frozen in place, feeling my face burning hotter and hotter before I try freeing myself and pushing them away, finding distance as I panted and took heavy deep breaths. "W-What are you e-even doing to me? I-I… I-I don't want your c-cure! D-Don't touch me!"
