Going to college I thought life would get easier, that I would meet a lot of new people, find love, and most importantly find myself. Oh, how I was mistaken.

It was late September, almost October when I arrived at my dorm in an old part of London. I was supposed to start college in a few days and I was really euphoric. As I was leaving my bags in my dorm room a girl walked in.

''Oh hey, you must be my new roommate! I'm Lana.'' She said with a smile extending her arm for me to shake.

''Mhm'' I nodded ''I'm Sara.''

She was a tall lean girl with short brown hair and green eyes, if you asked anyone else they would say she was pretty uninteresting and not anything out of the ordinary. But I didn't want to judge a book by its cover.

...

During the next few days, we got to know each other, we went out for drinks, watched movies, and talked for hours. She even introduced me to her childhood best friend who was going to the same college as us but was a year above us. Her name was Emma. She was a reasonably tall girl with blond hair and blue eyes, just as you would expect a Barbie doll to look in real life. But, to contradict the stereotypes, she wasn't dumb, not at all, if all, she was one of the smartest people I've talked to in my whole life.

When the classes started Lana and I would always go together, we would always go everywhere together and take the same path, except today.

There was an accident somewhere in the street we always walk through to get to class, a car crash or something, so we had to go the other way. In that particular street, Lana was being offly quiet, whenever I asked her if something was wrong she always said she was just tired, but I knew something else was the matter. I knew it for sure when we crossed beside an abandoned building and she fastened her paste. There was something off with that building, I could feel it, the negative energy. If walls could talk they would probably tell me to get away, but in a strange way, I didn't want to get away. As much as it radiated bad energy, it drew me to it, it interested me more than any building I'd seen before.

...

Days passed and we continued going to our classes, but one thing, or rather a place, wouldn't leave my mind. I was intrigued by that building and the whole vibe it radiated. It was creepy but for some reason, it drew me in exactly because of it. 

''Why are you so scared of it?'' I asked Lana all of a sudden. The two of us and Emma were sitting in silence in our shared room in the dorm working on our projects. 

''Scared of what?'' Lana asked not even lifting her head up from her computer to look at me. 

''That abandoned building, you always hang your head low and fasten your pace when we pass by it, why is that?'' 

''You don't have to say it Lana'' Emma said softly grabbing Lana's hand in hers. 

''I had a sister, Anna, she was, um, she was killed in there'' She paused and then stood up ''I'm sorry, Emma can tell you the rest I need to be alone right now'' 

With that, Lana walked out of the room leaving a fairly irritated Emma and still curious me. 

''I'm sorry I-'' I started to talk but Emma interrupted me.

''You really want to know that bad?'' I just nodded my head. '' She had a sister, her name was Anna. She was a, you could say, free spirit, she was never held down by what anyone thought or said. She did what she wanted, how she wanted, and the way she wanted. A little more than 3 years ago she was in her 2nd year of college but she hung out with people much older than her. She met this guy, Eliot, who seemed like a nice kid, his parents were well known and everyone had only good things to say about the whole family. But they were wrong. ''
