Y/N's POV

As the Hell Week at the Driskill Hotel was coming to an end, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and dread. The energy in the air was palpable, as we prepared for our final investigation to try and communicate with any spirits lingering in the old haunting hotel.

I stood in the hallway with Colby, Sam, and the Sturniolo Triplets, feeling a rush of adrenaline as we geared up for final investigation. Colby smiled at me, squeezing my hand gently as he leaned in to press a kiss to my temple.

"Hey there, baby girl," he murmured, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. "You ready for this?"

I nodded, trying to muster up some courage as Sam explained the plan for the investigation. We were going to split up into pairs and use the Estes Method to try and communicate with any entities present.

Colby kissed my lips and smiled at me as Sam's explanation finished. I returned the gesture, smiling gratefully at him, feeling a little more at ease with his comforting presence by my side. My older brother, Sam, and the Sturniolo Triplets, Nick, Matt, and Chris, were all here with us, ready to dive headfirst into the paranormal investigation.

I paired up with Matt, one of the Sturniolo Triplets, as we made our way into one of the most haunted hotel rooms. As we all stepped into the bathroom, we all got prepared. Sam was recording, Nick stood with Chris by the toilet, while Colby stood in the shower, all ready to observe and document the investigation.

Matt sat on the bathtub edge, whilst I sat on the cold tiled floor, and we put on the headphones and blindfolds, feeling a rush of anticipation as we prepared to reach out to any spirits in the room. But as the others started asking questions, a chill ran down my spine as a voice came through the headphones, whispering threats and promises of harm.

"We want to hurt you Y/N, we want to KILL YOU!" the voice screamed, sending a surge of fear through me. Then moments later a ear piercing scream came from the headphones. I quickly ripped off the headphones and blindfold, stumbling into the bedroom as panic gripped my chest. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think straight as the terror overwhelmed me.

I felt pain all over my body, it felt like knives were slicing all over my body, and I cried out in pain as I limped into the bedroom.

Colby looked at me with concern and fear, as to why I threw the headphones and blindfold to the ground. He quickly stepped out of the shower, leaving Chris, Matt, Nick and Sam in the bathroom to finish the investigation.

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes as Colby rushed over to me, his arms wrapping around me in a protective embrace. "Hey, hey, it's okay baby, I've got you, you're safe." he whispered, his voice soothing me as he tried to calm my racing heart. Colby's voice was a lifeline in the darkness, grounding me in reality amidst the chaos of the haunted hotel. However, the pain I was experiencing was immense and painful as fuck and I had no idea what was causing it.

I clung to him, as he slid down the nearest wall with me in his arms, as I was sitting between his legs and crying into his chest. Colby's worry for me was evident in the way he held me tight, his eyes filled with concern as he whispered words of comfort and kissed my forehead whilst rubbing my back.

"Holy shit, baby girl, what the fuck is that?" Colby exclaimed as he lifted my sleeves up (I stole his hoodie beforehand). All over my arms were red, agitated, bloody lines that went to my shoulders. He leaned me forward a bit, and sure enough the same wounds covered my back.

"SAM! You need to see this!" Colby screamed to my brother as I winced in pain as Colby examined my injuries.

"Sorry baby, I know it hurts, but I need to check it." Colby said, as he felt the biggest scratch which was located on my spine, which made me cry out in pain. He kissed the back of my head in a way of comforting me.

Matt finished his investigation and the rest of the guys joined us in the bedroom where me and Colby were situated in each others arms. As he continued his examination.

"Is she okay? What the hell is all over her?!" I heard Sam's worried voice from the doorway, and I felt a pang of guilt for causing concern. Sam squatted down beside me and grabbed my hand in a comforting manner. The rest of the group had gathered around us, their faces filled with a mixture of understanding and worry.

"She said she was in pain, she said that it felt like the spirits were dragging knives down her body, but she's covered in blood and there are cuts all over her. I don't know what to do, she's in a lot of pain." Colby explained as the rest of the guys looked at by back and arms, which were the only visible injuries, but I knew there was more on my legs. Sam squeezed my hand as he looked at my arms with concern etched on his face.

"I think we should call it a night," Nick suggested, looking at me with concern. "She's not in a good place right now."

Matt nodded in agreement, his eyes full of sympathy. "Yeah, let's get out of here. We need to either take her to hospital and make up a crazy, believable story or we can all go to Colby's house and treat her there."

With Colby's arm around me, we made our way out of the hotel, leaving behind the ghosts and the darkness. The cool night air was a welcome relief as we emerged into the light, the sense of dread slowly fading away.

"Thank you, Colby," I whispered, leaning into his comforting embrace. "I don't know what I would do without you."

He smiled down at me, his eyes filled with love and concern. "Anything for you, my brave girl. I'll always protect you, no matter what. Lets get you some help, you've been through hell, but treating it will be more hell by the way."

"Wow, thanks baby boy, you really know how to make me feel better." I said with sarcasm laced in my voice, whilst the other boys laughed.

And as we walked away from the haunted hotel, I knew that with Colby by my side, I could face anything that came our way. Together, we would conquer the darkness and emerge stronger than ever before.
