Demons - Imagine Dragons Horror

Unstable.

I woke up, not able to move my arms or legs. I poked my head up to realise that I was strapped to a hospital bed. My head collapsed back onto my pillow, I barely had enough strength to hold it up for a long period of time. Suddenly before I could ask myself any questions about the location I was in, the door opened. Out came what appeared to be a doctor. He looked me in the eyes and smiled. In his hands  I noticed there was a clipboard and pen. He examined me as I watched, struggling as I did so.

I was finally able to spit out a few words which were,

"Why am I here?"

He stopped and stared at me for a few seconds acknowledging what I had said, then proceeded with what he was currently doing, which appeared to be writing down various things whilst examining my body. I felt uncomfortable by this.

When he was just about to turn around and head towards the door I decided to ask again, suddenly gaining back all my strength. This time I said it in a more demanding way, which is probably why it caught his attention.

"You're not stable. Go back to sleep." That was all the words I managed to get the man to say before I found him walking out of the door. The room then became silent which led me to think about what was going on. Thoughts like what was this place? Why was I here? Flew through my mind. All I remember last time I was concious was being in the hospital hallway causing a scene. That's when it hit me. They probably thought I was going insane so they sent me to whatever place this was. The thing is, he was right. I wasn't stable, not even in the slightest. I was a mess and whatever the hell has been going on lately really struck me in the head. I was beginning to ponder if any of it was real. So in all fairness I don't blame him. To be honest maybe I was better off here...

Just as I convinced myself those very words, Dan came into my mind. I needed to find him, he needed me and I needed him. But I wouldn't be able to do anything if I was stuck here. I needed a plan, not just any old plan, but one that would get me out of everything, and not just this.

Before I was about to attempt to free myself from the straps I was stuck in, I heard a loud alarm. So loud it was almost deafening. Voices then emerged outside the door, I managed to make out what they were saying.

"What the hell is going on? Is it faulty?"

"I don't know, maybe we should call someone in."

"Like who? It will go off soon I'm sure of it."

"We need to act fast, half of the people here aren't stable enough to cope probably and what if someone actually has broken in?"

"Yes but-" The voice of the second man suddenly came to a stop. The only words I heard afterwards was "Run, now.". I began to panic, they were running from something and I was stuck inside this stupid room practically waiting for my death to occur. Many scenarios went through my head but I decided to just stop them and try to get the fuck out of here.

As I was frantically moving my hands trying to break free, I kept hearing crashes outside. Bombs? No it couldn't be, I would probably be dead by now if that was the case.

"Daniel I know you're here." Said a voice in a creepy way, it was as if it was talking to a child. Just like the movies where someone knows exactly where the person is but wants to make some sort of game out of it.

When the voice came closer I started to recognise it. It only took one more sentence.

"I know where you are."

Aja. It was her, or 'it'. Most likely the second option. She was after me? I started to pull more and more at my hands eventually freeing one. I untied the other but as I got to my feet it was too late. There was already an outline of her silhouette in the blurry glass of the door. At this moment, I knew it was her. Either way I wasn't going to give up, I was just about to untie the last strap to my right foot until the door smashed open and Aja just standing there looking at me. Behind her stood Wayne and Ben. It was as if all she had to do was make eye contact with me and they instantly knew the procedure. Both of them came over to me with menacing looks on their faces. I then found myself being thrown off the hospital bed and pinned down as I fell to the ground. It was cold.

"Get the fuck off me!" I yelled whilst trying to resist. Aja slowly walked towards me and took out some rope from a rucksack she was carrying. It wasn't just any old rucksack, it was Dan's. He used to take it with him during tours.

"Turn him over."

They followed her orders as if they were under some kind of spell. She then grabbed both my hands and tied the rope so tight around them that I could no longer feel any blood circulation in my wrists. I struggled but they managed to retain me.

"Maybe you were right for once. I'm not Aja, and this isn't Daniel." She laughed as I felt her voice turn to the right. They flipped me over and in front of me stood me?

"What?" I asked in deep confusion as a whole copy of me just stood there staring down. He laughed. Or should I say I laughed?

"Now, take him away."

Before I could say or do anything I felt the hard material of an old dirty sack  being pushed over me.
"Have fun." Were the last words I heard from Aja until I felt being carried away.
