As Divine and her friends descended the creaking staircase, the tension in the air grew thicker with every step they took. The faint smell of mildew and decay wafted through the air, intertwining with the anxiety that wrapped around them like a heavy shroud. Each of them was lost in their thoughts, wrestling with the terrifying uncertainty of their situation.
“Are we sure this is the right way?” Jennifer asked, her voice shaky as she clutched her flashlight tightly. The beam flickered, casting eerie shadows on the walls, making it feel like the darkness was alive. “I mean, how do we know this isn’t just leading us deeper into the hospital?”
Divine shot her a look, trying to keep her own fear in check. “We don’t have a choice. It’s either this or stay up there and wait for those... those things to find us.”
“Yeah, but at least up there we have some light,” Jennifer muttered, her irritation bubbling to the surface. “Down here, it’s just dark and creepy.”
“Come on, Jen,” Rhea chimed in, trying to lighten the mood. “We need to stay positive. Think of it as an adventure. A scary one, but still an adventure!”
“An adventure?” Jennifer scoffed, rolling her eyes. “This is not an adventure. It’s a nightmare.”
“Then let’s wake up from it,” Bill said, his voice low but steady. He reached out and placed a hand on Jennifer’s shoulder, attempting to offer some comfort. “We’ll get out of here. Together.”
Divine nodded in agreement, feeling the weight of her friends' worry settle on her shoulders. “We have to stick together. No one gets left behind, okay?”
They reached the bottom of the stairs and found themselves in a long, dim corridor lined with doors that led to empty rooms. The eerie silence was deafening, broken only by the distant sound of dripping water and the occasional scurry of rodents in the shadows.
“Let’s check these rooms,” Tom suggested, his voice firm. “We might find something useful—a map, a way out, or at least some supplies.”
They moved cautiously, opening the first door on their right. The room was filled with old medical equipment covered in dust, the remnants of what once was a busy treatment room. Divine felt a shiver run down her spine as she stepped inside, her flashlight beam revealing more darkness than clarity.
“Look at this,” Gustav said, pointing to a set of rusted surgical tools that lay scattered on a table. “What a horror show.”
Rhea wrinkled her nose in disgust. “We’re not here to play doctor. Let’s keep moving.”
As they continued exploring, Divine’s heart raced. She could feel the fear creeping back in, tightening its grip around her chest. They had to find a way out soon—her mind kept replaying the images of the two men chasing them, their faces twisted and grotesque.
“Love over here!” Tom called divine from another room, drawing her attention. She rushed over to him, her pulse quickening with anticipation.
“What did you find?” she asked, peering into the room.
Tom was kneeling by a pile of debris, uncovering what looked like a faded hospital map. “This might help us figure out where we are and how to get to the exit.”
Divine’s breath caught in her throat as she knelt beside him. “Let’s see it.”
As Tom unfolded the brittle paper, they gathered closer, squinting to make sense of the dimly lit map. “If we go through the East Wing,” Tom pointed, “it looks like there’s a staircase leading down to the basement. That might lead us outside.”
“Let’s do it!” Rhea exclaimed, a flicker of hope igniting in her eyes.
“Wait,” Jennifer interjected, her voice laced with concern. “What if that leads us to where those guys are? We don’t know what’s waiting for us down there.”
“We can’t stay here,” Divine said, trying to remain firm. “We need to move.”
“Fine,” Jennifer said reluctantly. “But I’m not letting you go first, Divine. You always seem to lead us into trouble.”
“Fine, I’ll go last,” Divine retorted, frustration creeping into her voice. “But we need to hurry.”
The group moved cautiously, making their way toward the East Wing. Each creak of the floorboards echoed like a countdown, heightening the sense of urgency. They passed door after door, some ajar, revealing nothing but darkness within. Divine felt the weight of fear clinging to her, and the further they went, the more anxious she became.
Suddenly, as they reached the entrance of the East Wing, a loud crash echoed from somewhere deeper in the hospital. Divine froze, her heart pounding in her chest.
“What was that?” Gustav whispered, his eyes wide with fear.
“Probably nothing,” Divine said, trying to convince herself as much as her friends. “Let’s keep moving.”
They pressed on, hearts racing, until they reached a darkened hallway that seemed to stretch on forever. The atmosphere thickened with each step, and the feeling of being watched intensified. Divine could hardly breathe, her senses heightened as they ventured further into the unknown.
“We have to find a way out,” Tom whispered, taking Divine’s hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. But just as she felt a glimmer of hope, another loud crash echoed through the corridor, followed by the sound of footstepheavy, deliberate, and closing in.
THE TWO MAN IS HERE. RUN.
(something like this, I can't find any other pictures like this bruh)
“Run!” Divine shouted, adrenaline surging through her veins as she pulled Tom with her, the others following suit. Panic set in as they sprinted down the corridor, their hearts racing in sync with their hurried footsteps.
They dashed through the darkness, desperate to escape the looming threat behind them, knowing that their survival depended on their ability to stick together. Little did they know, the terror they were running from was
