Stiles POV

"Jess!? Jess!" I screamed running around the open space. "Come on stiles! You idiot calm down!" I yelled at myself, squeezing my head in my hands. I blinked and the tears fell down my face, clearing my vision. I began to take in my surroundings more, the doors all had numbers on. I gingerly walked over to the door I had been smashing with my foot, it was number 18 slowly I reached my hand out and turned the silver handle until it clicked, I swung it open. Inside sat a man facing the wall with his back to me and nothing else in the room . He looked pale, skinny and dirty. What do I do now? The man seemed to realise my presence and slowly turned to face me. His face was distorted and was barely recognisable as a human. I flinched back. He crawled a little forward and then stopped, staring at me with his hollow eyes, suddenly his head darted around the room and he cowered back against the wall as if something was coming from the shadows. From the direction he was looking in a flash of light hurt my eyes an although I was the most creeped out that I'd ever been I hid my emotions and stayed because that's how much she means to me. "Go now!!" He hissed and for some reason I snapped, I let out all of my anger at this person I'd never even met before. Is this some sort of game? Doors with numbers? Voices in my head? Creepy things behind the doors? "No! I'm not leaving until I find her!" I yelled. Why am I telling him this? "Her? Let me tell u something" he beckoned for me to come closer, if he can give me answers then I don't even care. I got closer and knelt down to his level he brought his head close to mine and went to whisper something in my ear, I let him. "If she been taken by it then your already to late" he hissed and defeat coiled it's way around my stomach. " he will do what he's done to all of us even me! First he will break some bones just for fun and then lead someone very special to them down here, and this time it seems to be you. He will play game, lead you to her bloody and beaten wishing she were dead and then you will see it and either be so horrified you run or stay and try to protect her but even if you really don't want to you have to run! Your hear me? Even if he threatens to kill her right there you have to run!" The last part seemed genuine and rushed. "Why would I do that? Come all this way to save her and then let it kill her" I stood up and began to walk away from him.

" because if you stay....he will make you kill her"

I didn't listen, I stormed out in sudden rage and walked not even know where but I carried on, passing through many doors until I stopped as the voice returned in my head. "Turn around stiles, look for door 23" it said and I did as I was told, blank expression, walking like a zombie. Two can play this game. I found the door easy enough and slowly let it creek open. My plan to keep my emotions hidden came tumbling down as I saw Jess laying limp on the floor. "Jess" I yelled and ran over to her. I rested her head on my leg and begged for her to open her eyes. But they stayed closed. I suddenly remembered I had my phone so I took it out and used it as a torch, assessing the damage. He foot was stuck in a sort of trap and blood poured everywhere around her ankle. I winced at how painful it looked and moved the torch up. Part of her wrist was sticking out, it must be broken and bruises and bloody scratches covered her arms and face. I realised that my hand that was resting on her head felt wet, I took a look under my phone and saw that red plastered my hands. After finding out that the blood was coming from a cut in her head, I slid off my shirt and rested it on that. Suddenly I hear a noise which took my attention off Jess. "W-who's there? WHOS THERE?" I repeatedly shout. In one quick motion I'm on the other side of the room with my foot stuck in the same sort of trap and I'm screaming in pain. I heard a laugh and stopped my screaming and yelling for a second. I still have my phone!! I just realised, I call Scott straight away "hey stiles what's up?" He asked all happy not knowing what the hell was going on with me and Jess.

Eventually, between shaking breaths and having to stop to check Jess was alright I told him the whole story. "We're coming to find you ok stiles?" Scott reassured but before I could reply my phone hit the wall next to me and smashed into pieces. I didn't just throw my phone, something threw it. I came out of my daze because of a rustling sound coming in the direction where Jess was. "Jess!" There was a long pause and a whimper but the she replied "s-tiles?"

"Yeah I'm here it's ok" I reassured her, hearing her scared and in pain made me want to rip my own leg off out the trap so I could get to her. A single lightbulb flickered on over Jess's head, illuminating her place face and injured body. She looked like a fragile deer caught in the headlights of a car, knowing that any second it's gonna hit her but then again to scared to move. Everything after that was a blur, I watched helplessly screaming her name repeatedly, trying to get whatever it was to stop hurting her. There was nothing there but she was clearly in pain, rolling around and screaming the loudest most ear piercing scream you would ever hear. I got to the end of my traps chain and only made it to the outside of the circle of light which she was in. Then her screaming stopped. And I stopped to not knowing what to do next. She turned and faced me, face red from screaming, eyes puffy from crying. I stared as she pulled a knife out of her stomach and set it down next to her. Where did it even come from? Why did she do that? When did she do that? So many questions swirled around my head and not one lead to an answer. She gripped her stomach and a horrified expression replaced her blank one. What has she done?!

Suddenly my chain was tugged and I was being pulled back, away from Jess. I yelled in protest and tried clinging onto things to stop me from being dragged away from my girl, who I had to save.

But it was no hope. It carried on dragging me and I got further and further away from her until I could only see the small outline of small body, laying on the ground
