WHAT THE FUCK

Chapter 1

Ava sits up and gasps for air. Her long brown hair tangled in knots blocks her eyes as she flips it out of the way.

Ava looks around, the room is barely lit and she struggles to make out where she is

"What the"

Her entire body is aching. As she tries to stand a sharp pain pierces through her left foot

"Shit!"

She falls to the floor, crying in pain. Panic beginning to set in. She glances down and sees a large gash at the side of her ankle. She breaths heavenly, her heart pounding against her rib cage

She looks around. Four other lifeless bodies are laying on the floor

Ava crawls over to one of the lifeless bodies of young women and shakes her violently. Ava is panicking now.

"Hey! Wake up!"

The body of the young woman stayed motionless.

Ava glances around the room. It is dark and is only lit by a single light bulb flickering from the ceiling. The walls are made of light grey concrete and the floor is made of old, cheap planks. The planks are broken and have the occasional splinter. At the end of the room, there is a wooden door with a rusty door knob. There is the smell of decay floating in the room.

Ava hears a cry of pain coming from the corner of the room. The body of a little boy is leant up against a wall. The boy is grasping his ebony black hair, shaking slightly. The boy has cuts at the end of his fingers and blood trickled down his smooth, dark skin. The boy looks around five years old and he doesn't seem to know what is going on.

Ava sees the young boy and says to him quietly, trying not to scare him. "Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

The young boy struggles to open his eyes. He stays silent, looking confused. He finally spits out, with a quivering voice "W-what, where am I?"

"I'm not sure. I was hoping you would be able to answer that" Ava says looking at the broken floor, her ankle throbbing in pain.

The boy attempts to stand but struggles. He holds the wall for support as he brings himself off the floor.

The boy glances around the room, tears in his eyes. He begins to stroll around the room. He quickly notices something on the furthest wall, near the door.

"What are these?" The boy asks pointing at the wall, his hand shaking.

Ava looks confused and looks up. Symbols cover the wall, they appear to be drawn in dark, thick blood.

"What the fuck" Ava is confused, she didn't notice them before.

The boy walks over to one of the lifeless bodies in the corner of the room.

"Mama? Are you sleeping?" He says, pushing on the woman's shoulder. "Mama! Wake up! Please!"

As he says that the body he is kneeling over starts to wake. The eyes of the women began to open. The boy grabs his mother's hand and pulls her to sit upright.

"D-daniel? Oh my god. Baby, are you okay?" The mother says, tears glistening in her sage green eyes.

She hugs him. Holding him close. She notices Ava sitting in the corner of the room still grasping her ankle.

"Who are you?" The woman asked concerned.

"I'm Ava" Ava says as she leans against the wall. "I woke up here as well" Ava bites her lips in pain as she rips fabric off the arm of her shirt and ties it around her ankle.
