I Am Elvis

Chapter 19 Final Suffering

Suddenly, the floor opened up into a huge portal, the biggest one I've ever seen. Collin's face lit up, he took a step back and leaped into the portal, "WOOHOO!!" "COLLIN!" I cried. "That kid is strange," Leah muttered. I held Leah's hand and jumped in with her. The sky opened up and we fell through, landing on the ground with a huge thud. The ground was made of stone, the sky was pitch black, not a single star in the sky. My nose bled when I hit the ground, I wiped my nose with my sleeve.

"This place looks really weird," Collin said. "There's nothing here!" Leah flailed her arms. "Elvis," Priscilla cooed, starting up her chainsaw. "HUH!?" I gasped, turning around, "AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!" I ran as fast as I could. "Come on!!" Leah took Collin by the hand and ran with him, catching up to me. Priscilla kept chasing us with the chainsaw, "COLLIN!! GET BACK HERE OR I'LL MAKE YOU DRINK POISON AGAIN!!" Priscilla threatened. "NO! PLEASE!" Collin cried. Another portal opened up in front of us, we jumped inside, the portal closed, leaving Priscilla there.

I woke up in a bed, "What? W-where am I? This isn't Graceland," I gasped. I grunted, trying to get up, "W-why can't I move!? Leah? Collin? Anyone!?" Hans walked in, holding a big fork, "Hello Elvis." "Hans," I growled, "What do you want?" He laughed as he wrapped his hands around my throat, and squeezed real tight. "AAAAH!! S-STOP IT!!" I choked up some blood. I tried to move, but I was frozen, paralyzed.

He picked me up and threw me against the wall, he poked at me with the fork, puncturing me a couple times, "AAAAAAHH!! PLEASE STOP!!" "Nope," he laughed, picking me up and carrying me downstairs to a dark cellar, he threw me into a jail cell, he cornered me and started to bite my neck, "NO!! DON'T!!" He grabbed me and put his arms around my waist, "You're so tiny...I could break you like a twig," he laughed. "Please...let me go..don't do anything to me, please," I whimpered. "ERRRAAH!!" He threw me against the wall, I hit my face against it, my nose started to bleed again, I had a black eye. He grabbed me, I still couldn't move, "Leah, help me," I sobbed.

Leah's POV:

I gasped, waking up, in a dark hallway. I spat out some blood on the floor, I shrieked in horror. "E-Elvis? Collin?" I shivered. "Leah," Parker whispered. I gasped and turned around, "Where are you? I can't see you!" "I'm everywhere," he cackled. "Where's Elvis and Collin? What have you done with them!?" I asked. Suddenly, Parker's ghost appeared behind me, he put his hands over my eyes. "AAAAAHH!!" I screamed.

I quickly ran down the hall, he chased after me with a huge bloody axe in his hand, "That's right," he laughed, "Keep running, keep running, your fear is pleasing me." I could feel my heart pounding, blood rushing through my veins, I panted and gasped all the way. I swiftly rounded the corner, Parker didn't notice and kept going straight. I stood completely still, the atmosphere was dead silent, making my heart sound as loud as a drum, thick beads of sweat poured down my face, "Oh, Elvis, where are you?" I whispered under my breath.

Elvis's POV:

I was lying on the cold stone floor in the jail cell, all alone, sobbing into my arms, my clothes had been torn up, I barely had anything on, I had been assaulted, in a way that I don't want to describe. I felt sick to my stomach, I coughed and gagged up blood, "God, please help me," I whispered as I closed my eyes, a little while later, I woke up back at Graceland, in yet another bedroom, I opened the closet and found some old clothes and put them on. Collin appeared, sitting on the bed, "Elvis," he whispered.

I looked at him, I could feel the tears coming again, I quickly turned away. "Elvis, please look at me," Collin said quietly, "I already know what happened...and I'm sorry I couldn't come to your rescue...Priscilla chained me up and wouldn't let me leave." He came over to me, I turned around, Collin had a heartbroken look in his eyes when he saw how upset I was, "Oh Elvis," he hugged me, "Everything's gonna be alright," he sniffled.

Leah's POV:

Parker finally found me, "Well, well, well," he sighed, "You thought you could outsmart me." He swung his axe, I dodged the attack and ran off, he kept chasing me, swinging his axe around. He cornered me into a wall, he raised up his axe, "NO!!" I cried, throwing my hands out in front of my face. Suddenly, Collin appeared, he took me by the hand, "Come on...Elvis needs you," he sounded very serious and concerned, "I'll explain on the way," he went into a portal with me. A little while later, I woke up back at Graceland, Elvis was lying in the bed, sobbing into the blankets.

"He only wants to see you," Collin said, "I'll wait outside." He walked through the closed door, leaving me and Elvis alone together. "Elvis...do you wanna talk about it?" I asked quietly, stroking his hair. "Oh darling," Elvis hugged me, crying and stuttering incoherently. "It's alright, baby, shhh," I rocked him gently, he trembled in my arms, "I know...it was scary, wasn't it...it's all over now, just breathe."

~About an hour later~

Elvis's POV:

We went into the elevator, "Have any of you been at the very top floor yet?" Collin asked. "No," I replied. "Neither have I...no one's ever seen it, I say we should go up," he said, pushing the button. The elevator took off, Leah sighed, sitting in the corner, I sat down next to her and leaned my head against her shoulder.

Collin looked down at the floor, "You know...you guys are the nicest people I ever met." "Thanks, Collin, you're a pretty sweet kid yourself," Leah smiled. "I've always dreamed of meeting you, Elvis," Collin looked at me and smiled softly. "You probably never expected to meet me this way though," I chuckled quietly. "No...this is all so crazy," he shook his head.

All of a sudden, the elevator stopped. I gasped, as the elevator's abrupt breakdown made me hit my head against the wall, "UGH!" "What!? Why did it stop!?" Leah yelled. Collin grunted, banging his fists against the door, "T-the doors must be jammed or something!" He tried to ply it open with his hands, "H-help me get it open!" It took all our strength, but we managed to pull the doors apart, they creaked loudly, Collin stepped out and looked around, "It's...an attic!"

It was a cozy little attic, but a little unsettling too, there were creepy dolls on the shelves, cob webs in the corners, and a couple of coffins with bodies in them. "Oh! A window!" I gasped, this was the only window that wasn't boarded up, the sky was pitch black, with stars twinkling, the full moon shone its mysterious light directly into the room. "It's a little dark in here," Collin said, opening a drawer, he pulled out a match and struck it against the drawer, he lit a candle.

He walked over to the window and sighed, looking out at the moon, "There aren't any portals or doors...we've been in every room." Leah walked past the candle that sat on the edge of the drawer, she knocked it over, "AAAAH!!" She screamed as the flames started to spread rapidly. "LEAH!!" I shrieked, holding onto her. Collin gasped, backing up into a corner, the flames grew bigger and hotter by the second, smoke started to fill the whole mansion. I quickly opened the window, "LEAH GO NOW!!" She looked down, we were so high up and far from the ground, "I-I...I CAN'T!!" She screeched. "JUST GO!!" I cried, pushing her out the window, "AAAAAAAAAHH!!" I looked over my shoulder, the flames were starting to consume Collin.

He looked up at me, tears running down his face, "Elvis...don't look back...go, forget about me!" "I wanna save you!" I sobbed. "I told you! I've already died at Graceland once! I can never see the world again...today I go to Paradise, now go and save yourself and Leah!" "I'll make you proud," I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath, I leaped out the window, "AAAAAAAAAHH!!!" "I know you will," Collin whispered as he slowly vanished...he was gone for good.

I hit the ground, I flopped over onto my back and watched Graceland burn to ashes, uncontrollable tears poured down my face, as I looked back on all the memories I had made in that house when I was alive back in the day. I looked over at Leah, she was unconscious, her head was bleeding profusely, "Leah...darling are you alive?" I stroked her hair, "Please don't die...I can't lose you now." I picked her up and carried her to a car sitting outside the burning mansion, the door was unlocked and didn't seem to belong to anyone so I put Leah in the passenger's seat, I got in the car, the key sat in the driver's seat. I started up the car and drove off to a nearby hospital.
