Little Fears

Chapter 10 | The Smile On The Paper

Am I dead...?

I wasn't.

I woke up. My hand was touching a cold and uncomfortable floor. Next to me, there was Wilbur. Why is he here? He didn't come with me and the others...

I turned my head around, to see who was with me and Wil.

All of the people in my group were with us, sleeping peacefully...

Some of them had scars on their faces, hands or neck. What the hell happened to them?

I heard someone waking up. It was Karl. He was in a cell, a small one. He said:-Where... Where I am..? Aimee, why is there all of our friends? Do you know where we are, by any chance..?- -No, Karl, I don't. How'd you feel?- -I don't actually know... I feel.. Weird?- -Oh... Is there something bothering you?- -Yeah actually.. The absence of space...-.

I got worried. My hands were locked at the floor. I said:-Karl, have you got claustrophobia?- -Yeah...- -Now I guess that's why they put you there... Don't worry, we will save you. Don't panic or anything, everything's gonna be alright, I promise!-.

He nodded weakly.

I tried to to something about my hands. I heard some other woke up from the long sleep. Sophie was the only one free. How's that possible?

She said:-Nobody of us have to panic, okay? I'll try to free you all, so we get out of here and escape.-.

She went next to Xavier, who had trapped hands on the wall.

She tried to get rid of the two things that held him but Sophie couldn't. She said:-Does anyone of you has an hairclip or something. We need a key here.- -Yes! Me! Take this, I found it on a small abandoned police station.- Jenny replied.

Sophie got closer to Jenny and she took the metallic thing from Jenny's trapped hand. Jen was on a chair, with trapped hands, legs and hips.

Sophie walked back to Xavier. Sophie didn't like touching people, she was comfortable only with Jenny.

The blonde freed Xavier from the chains that kept his hands attached to the wall.

Xavier thanked her and he went to free the others.

Only Karl missed. I saw him panic more than anything. He started cry. I went to comfort him. We freed him and he collapsed in my arms. I hugged him and he hugged back thigtly. He put his head on my shoulder. I drew circles on his back.

He then stopped crying and we got out of the room. There was a dark and long corridor. Something was at the end of it. We started walking, not knowing where we was.

We eventually heard some creepy noises, like doors opening or mirror breaking. We heard screams of pain, psychopath laughs. We felt like someone was staring us, or at least...

Many people was looking at us...

We still walked. Some of us were scared, but very scared. We arrived at the end and you won't believe what we found...

A dead body was laying on the floor, with a pool of blood around it...

On the knife on the chest of the man, we found a paper.

There was a red smile...

We looked back and there was something...

A tall woman with a bloody white dress, was standing there... She was laughing...

Her skin was pale and her hair was white and bloody. She held something... A weapon...

Her head looked up and she was smiling, that was the only thing that we could see...

She screamed and ran to us. We all screamed and when she was an inch far from me she disappeared.

I put my right hand on my chest. I was so scared...

After some time, we found some old and broken stairs. We looked at them and then started walking. We got up and at one point, on the wall, I found a sentece.

It was written with...

...Blood...

I widened my eyes and took a step back..

"You're almost there:)"

What does this mean...
