*THUG!!!!!*

I heard a loud noise as if something really heavy fell. Then it was followed by two gunshots and screaming of what sounds like a young girl,

"Noooo!!! Mommy!!!! HELPPPPPPP!! SOMEBODYYY!"

I got up and hid under my bed as fast as I could. Then my door opened.... I could see someone standing there.

I cover my mouth and try my best not to make any type of noise.

"Nooo!!!" *bone-crack sounds*

That is the last word I heard from the girl.

Looking at the door where this figure stands, he wears a black suit with leather shoes but I can't see his face. He just stood there without making any movement.... I could see blood falling to the floor from his clothes.

"Who is he???? Is he going to kill me??" Those nerve-racking words echoes in my head while I look at this man from under my bed only feet away from him.

A guy yelled from a distance,

"Master! She's not here! Let's bail before the General discovers we're here!"

"Alright, make sure everybody is dead." Says the man just feet away from seeing me. His voice is calm however it's very blood-curdling.

The man in a black suit closes my door and runs toward the voice yelling his name. I've never felt so relieved.

I started crawling and looking for a flashlight. As I moved from corner to corner my hands felt a bag on the corner of my bed. I opened it and found a flashlight and a knife and took it.

I waited a while to see if anyone's out there, but I didn't hear anything so I presume it was safe. I got up, turned on my flashlight and slowly walk towards the door.

As I'm reaching the door, so many thoughts are going through my head, "Is he still there waiting to kill me?" my heart is pounding so fast it's hard to breathe and my hands are shaking.

I close my eyes and open the door. Slowly I open my eyes. It's so dark and eerie making me more nervous. I point the flashlight everywhere and notice there's blood coming out from an old woman's body lying on the floor just outside my room. Her insides are missing, her chest cut wide open and her heart is missing. I started walking around to find an exit and I see dead bodies lying everywhere with missing parts. "Who would do this?" I can't help but to throw up from what I am seeing. I heard a thump on my left and I quickly point my flashlight toward that direction. Looking at the direction from where I heard the noise makes me feel like I'm stuck with this non-ending darkness of hell. I know I have to get out of here so I cautiously follow the sound.

I walk for what seems like hours, but I can't find any door that says exit! "Is someone playing games with me??? Or am I losing it??" I sat down near the girl's bathroom and I start to smell something.

"What is that awful smell?"

I look to my left and right, but there's nothing. I got up and point the flashlight to the bathroom and I check each stall. "w-water drops? Is the faucet on? Is it raining?" I checked the faucets but they are all closed. I closed my eyes and listen carefully to where that water droplets are coming from. I started following the sound and I reach the hallway outside the bathroom near the couches and vending machine. I found where the sound is coming from!

"BLOOD!!!" lots of if! It's coming from the ceiling. My instinct told me to look up. My heart is pounding and everything in my body went numb. My gut is telling me not to look, but I can't control my head from looking up.

"What is up there that could smell this bad??"

In a flash, I'm immobilize. I can't move. I cried as my hands cover my face instinctively. This girl is tied to the ceiling and her eyes are wide open for everyone to see. Her intestines are dangling out from her body, her chest thrashed wide open and her heart is missing like the old woman I've seen. "Who could do such cruel thing to a young girl like her?"

I suddenly remember a girl screaming for help right before the man with a black suit opened my door. "Could this be her?!" The thought of it made me sob uncontrollably and filled me with rage. "Did the man in a black suit did this to her??" I cut the ropes with my knife that tied her to the ceiling and sat her down on the couch just a feet away from the vending machine.

I'm breathing so quickly and so scared of what's out there. "I promise I'll come back for you," I told the bloody girl as I walk away to find an exit. Turning to my right, I saw a brown door and open it. I see footprints with blood leading somewhere and decided to follow it thinking he or she might still be alive.

As I walk to where the footprints are leading, I heard noises. Sounds like somebody's eating. I'm glad that I'll see another human, but my gut tells me something else. When I reach the end of the footprints, there was room and the light was flickering. I don't know what's in there so I turn off my flashlight in hopes that whatever is there they won't see me coming.

I walk towards the room. The noises grow louder and louder. There's loud thumping, bone-cracking, gushing sounds that I can't make anything out of.

Then I saw it! All I could do is to cover my mouth as my eyes focus on what I'm seeing. I'm so SHOCKED! I cannot make sense of what I'm seeing.

"They're eating him!" Those words repeat in my head over and over and over. As I was standing there it felt like I've been standing forever. My knees start feeling like giving up and my body turn cold as ice!

"My God, what am I going to do? Should I run? But they'll hear me! No! I need to get out of here!"

My instincts kick off and I took a step backward. *gulp* I step on something squishy and sticky. I felt like I just died. I look down to see what I step on and it's a piece of that guy's intestine. I hold my breath and cover my mouth as tears flow down my face. I look back to the flickering room and all that is left is that guy's open chest, a bloody sight, and missing body parts like the girl I left near the vending machine. I'm so scared. "Where did those people eater go?! They vanished!" I felt like my soul just left my body as I look to the room and see what's left of the man.

Something creek on my left, it sounds like a bone just snap. I slowly look to my left, "IT'S THEM!!!!" His face was inches away from mine. Glowing violet eyes with a bloody mouth, violet veins all over his face, canine teeth with snake like tongue and a very pale dead-looking face.

"AAAHHHH!!!!!" I scream so loud that my voice echoed in the whole building. Just when he's about to eat my face whole, I heard an old man's voice, "DUCK!" follow by a single gunshot.
