---Autumn's POV---

I wake up with a headache. Everything hurts. My legs, my arms and my back. I see four grey walls and one red door. I try to walk, but I can't. My legs... it hurts so much.

I start to think about what happened. How I came here. My life. My name... And I realise that I forgot everthing.

My eyes feel so heavy. Without knowing anything, I sleep.

I wake up. I slept for like... one hour? Maybe two? It could be the whole day.

I force myself to walk. I can't stay my whole life in this room. So I walk to that red door.

It's scary as hell, but if I really want to leave this room, I had to touch it. I whisper to myself:
"you can do this, just do it and you'll never ever have to do this anymore."

The door isn't locked. I feel happy, but when I see a corridor with the same walls, I get scared. I start to walk, but there wasn't an end. It's like a maze. And I'm trapped.

I feel so alone, so I start to cry. I walk and walk... but all the corridors look the same. I see some doors, but I'm too scared to open one. All the doors are black. Mine was red. So that means that my room was 'special'. I walk further. I see a blue door. Something says to me that I need to open this door. I open it... It's empty. But I know that someone's been here. I feel hope. Maybe that he or she could help me to get out of here. I decide to look for him/her.

I start to walk and find my own room. The door was open. Someone's been here, because when I left I closed the door. Is someone looking for me too? I hope so. Maybe that we could find the exit together.

I decide to open the black doors. I have nothing to lose, right? Nobody's looking for me. Probably.

I hear weird noises. I freeze for a moment. It was like someone's knocking on the door. Gun shots. I count them. Three gun shots.

Someone's looking for me. Footsteps. They're coming closer to me. More gun shots. It's hunting on me. I panic.

I can't move my legs. My head is screaming to me:
"Run! Run! Someone wants you dead. You can't just stand here and do nothing!"

My legs are still paralyzed. I try to move them. The footsteps are coming closer and closer and closer... The gunshots are louder... And then I start to run. Running as fast as I can, althought I don't know where I'm going. But it doesn't matter. The only thing that I want is staying safe.
