We had finally managed to get out of the dark room, the light was welcome as we weren't as fearful anymore. I hesitantly removed my hand from Xiao lings as the both of us walk forward through the slim hallway. He was behind me as we walked towards the door that read '49'.

"Oh-" I state simply, opening the door to find a nice looking office area, but the main focus was on the giant set of door with the number 50 written ominously on them.

"Xiao ling says he has a bad feeling about this..." Xiao ling speaks up from behind me as we enter the fancy room. I sigh, nodding in agreement.

"This place screams 'bad'" I mutter, huffing as we make our way to the big door in the middle of the room-

(‼️SLAM‼️)

I jumped, scared out of my mind as I tune towards the door that we had just come in through, Xiao ling had yelped loudly and jumped as well, clinging onto my arm tightly and whimpering. It seemed the door had slammed behind us... I hesitate, Xiao ling let's go of my arm after realizing he was holding onto it. I run to the door, not noticing the blush on Xiao lings face as I try to pry the door open.

"It's locked..." I curse under my breath, gritting my teeth in anger, I did NOT want to go through the spooky 50th door.

"Xiao ling is scared.." he mutters, looking around and clutching his arm tightly. I look back to him before looking towards the door. I sigh before walking over to Xiao ling and patting him on the arm whilst looking up at him.

"It'll be alright, we can get through this." I tell him, rubbing his arm gently in my gloved hand. Xiao ling blushes ever so slightly and smiles softly as he turns away.

"Xiao ling says thank you." He speaks softly, looking towards the 50th door and remembering what's about to happen. His smile drops.

I turn towards the 50th door before taking a step forward.

"We've got to get out of here... Follow me." I tell him, stepping forward and grabbing the handles of the doors before turning to him and putting one finger to my lips to indicate he should keep quiet. I turn back to the door after he had nodded and I throw the doors open.
