Chapter 9.

No pov:

Taylor also gives the offer to Ashlyn who refuses saying she's going to bed and once the door shuts a different girl who's not in our group speaks up. "I doubt shes going to sleep. She probably just used it as an excuse." The girl says as she flipped her card and scoots over one Monopoly money. (They can't use real money cuz gambling)

"..she may just enjoy her own company rather then others. Or she is actually tired." Y/n said calmly as she kept her card in hand.

"Oh! Sorry! I didn't mean to sound rude when I said that" the girl said embarrassed a bit.

After a couple more rounds of cards the overall loser of the most rounds who lost most of her monopoly was Taylor. Once they had put everything back they headed back to their rooms, when Taylor and y/n entered they both were brought by the sight of ashlyn's stretches. Y/n just rubbed her eye too tired to react and went to bed.

Taylor and Ashlyn had an awkward conversation about how she can do that and stuff until they finally went to their bed. y/n turned the lights off and the two fell asleep. It was clear that y/n was tired but the uneasy feeling she got earlier kept coming back. "Is this going to stop? Last time it was nothing so why are you coming back." She thought to herself while scratching her knuckles silently.

00:00 am.

The clock in the room said y/n blinked and the same dark figure was hunched over her. She yelped and grabbed its throat pushing it to the ground. Taylor and Ashlyn woke up at that and saw the scene. The figure managed to scratch y/n's right eye undoing the eyepatch and stitching of the original cut. Ashlyn was on the floor and taylor jolted awake.

Y/n stabbed the phantom in the eye with her finger nail, let go of it and went over to Ashlyn who had blood on her arm.

"Ashlyn? Are you okay?" Y/n asked frantically. "Yeah..just had a nightmare.." she answers sitting up a bit. "..your arm.." y/n points out.

Y/n kept her hand on her eye to stop the blood from going anywhere. Taylor spoke up "a-ah! We should get some bandages- or the teachers? Do you need help?" Taylor asked panicked. "No it's fine Ashlyn pushed herself off the floor as y/n walked over to the phantom still on the floor, she used her other hand to get its already punctured eye out. The girl kept its mouth shut so it doesn't scream taking the risk and taking out the eye.

The eye had a pointy bit at the end of it. "So these things don't have brains? Pathetic." She said as she cleaned her hand with the towel inside the closet. Taylor and Ashlyn both looked at her disgusted as she did that. Y/n wanted to make an immature response like she does with Emily and Rebecca but she realised the other two wouldn't get it.

Ashlyn shook it off and lifted her blanket.. she lifted it higher.. Taylor and her looked underneath the blanket horrified while y/n just stood confused. It was another one of the creatures from the sorrel weed house gripping onto ashlyns leg its long claws almost digging into her skin.

The both of them released a high pitch scream and kicked it off her leg continuously until its grip loosened she managed to get away from it and looked down at the bed horrified. Y/n gripped the eye she wanted to throw it at the figure but her body wouldn't let her. The girl tried to take steady breaths but her mind was racing, surprisingly her eye didn't hurt.. was it because of adrenaline? She doesn't know but right now escaping is what they should be doing..

"Shit..I guess the adrenaline doesn't help with dizziness .." y/n thought gripping the eye tighter..the eye could smash at any moment because of how tight the girls gripping it.

"I-isn't those things from the sorrel weed place?" Taylor asks her eyes as wide as a circular window. "Whatever it is, we need to leave before it gets up." Ashlyn responds, taylor was frozen in shock, Ashlyn grabbed Taylor's hand "cmon snap outta it, we've got to get out of here." She says as she opened the door. "Y/n! You said you were in the athletics club right?" Ashlyn asked.

Y/n just nodded. "Can you close the door? Would you be fast enough?" Ashlyn continued. "Sure I can do that" y/n responded.

"What about the other girls?" Taylor asks as she ran out with ashlyn. "They would've heard us scream!" Ashlyns says back as she left through the front of the room now on the balcony running. Y/n was quick behind them closing the door as she left and soon caught up with them.

Suddenly Tyler runs round a corner and screams for Taylor "Tay!" Taylor heard her brother, let go of Ashlyn hand and went over to him.

"Oh so it was them why are they running?" Aiden speaks up, hand on hip and had a nonchalant expression on his face.

"How could he be so calm about this.." y/n thought her eye suddenly starting to sting causing her to flinch slightly. Ben looked like he noticed this, Logan was behind Ben clearly terrified.

"What's going on?!" Tyler asks. No one answered for awhile.

"Shit shit shit! I'm going to need to do something or else this will continue" she gripped her right eye hoping the stinging pain would stop soon.

"Somethings in the-" Ashlyn started.. the dark figure started coming out of the girls room. Y/n instinctively threw the things eye at the figure barely missing it.

".go.."

"Go! Go! Go!" Ashlyn yells out to the others slamming the door shut with aiden and bens help. "What is that thing?!" Logan asks shaken in fear he looked like he could cry any second. "According to Tyler it's the prank from earlier today!" Aidens says back smiling.

"Sarah and Emma are still in there!" Taylor exclaims as she stood forward. "Taylor I expect they would've came out already if they are in there" y/n says back before Ashlyn could say anything.

"Now that y/n mentions it, it's kinda weird that no one at all has came outside after all the screaming and banging." Aiden agreed as he kept the door shut, Ben obviously noticed the handle wiggling and grabbed the handle causing Ashlyn to step back.

"Could've?! A stop taking this as a joke! It's been bad! The skys red for crying out loud!!" Tyler screams out loud. Taylor looked down over the balcony, y/n joined her then immediately stepped back.

"Well whining about it won't do anything" Aiden retaliated.

"And laughing is?!"

"Guys..look down." Taylor said and everyone else looked over the balcony to reveal more of the dark like figures on the ground looking up menacingly.

Once they were seen they charged to the building.

"Well they're fast.." y/n thought.. the girl felt like she could faint any second because of how dizzy she felt.

"How far away is your room?" Ashlyn asks Aiden who responds almost instantly. "5 or 6 doors down?" Ashlyn panicked for awhile before an idea popped in her head. Her gaze landed on a pole. "Aiden give me the string from your shorts." Ashlyn ordered as she undid her string from her shorts.

"Kay why?" Aiden questions.

"I've got an idea."
