Falling For A Murderer

The Red Door.

I stumbled through the door and it immediately slammed shut. I whipped around and jiggled the knob but it wouldn't turn, I was trapped. I trailed my hand along the wall, looking for a light switch and when I found nothing, I walked around the room. My head his something and I immediately recognized it as a cord. I reached my hand up and when I pulled, the lights around me flickered before finally turning on, enveloping me in their brightness.

I gasped as I saw the room that I was in. There were battered wooden doors lining each side of the room. I counted them and in all there were ten doors, five on each side. Some of the doors even had claw marks traveling down them. This was a dungeon. A torture chamber. I was trapped inside with no way out.

"Allie."

My heart leaped to my throat.

"Allie."

The lights flickered.

"Allie."

My hair stood on end.

"Allie."

Cold slashed across my skin and I gasped at the sudden chill in the air.

"Allie."

I was shoved to the ground.

"Allie."

One of the doors opened.

"Stay."

I was yanked by my feet towards the door.

"Don't leave Allie."

My nails scraped across the door as I was pulled into the room.

"We'll keep you safe Allie."

The door slammed shut.

"We promise."

I screamed.

The lights flickered off and I was surrounded by blackness.

My body was lifted onto cold, metal table. Restraints were clasped across my torso, my wrists, and my ankles. I couldn't escape.

I screamed again. Something hit me in the head and I was out like a light. Ironic.

*****************

I woke up in a hospital gown. I had an IV needle sticking out of my arm and I wondered what had happened. I plucked the needle out and slowly sat up on the bed. I looked around the room that I was ok and noticed that it was stark white. White walls, white bed, white everything. The only thing different was the blood stains on the floor and the clawed wooden door. My eyes went to my nails and I saw that my nails were in a very bloody state. I scanned the rest of my body and saw that I had large, bloody, parallel scratches all the way up my legs, arms, and back. That was gonna hurt like he'll when the pain finally sunk in. I slipped off the bed and saw the black, fuzzy slippers next to it, I slipped my feet in and padded out of the room.

I opened the door and looked down the hall. I saw 9 other doors, 5 on each side (including mine), and then I cautiously made my way down the stark white hallway. Talk about some serious Deja vú. I found a spiral staircase at the left end of the hallway and I knew there was a bright red door at the right end of the hallway. I ascended the stairs and found myself in another hallway.

It was looking more and more creepy by the second. I went down this hallway and saw a circular office like they have in hospitals.

"Allie."

My memory came crashing back and I instantly whipped around and ran down the stairs.

"Allie, come back."

The voice sounded familiar. I couldn't put my finger on whose voice it was though.

"Allie, come back to me."

I sprinted down the first floors white hallway and just before I ran face first into the red door. I remembered.

"Stay with me Allie."

It was Charlie.

A hand wrapped around my shoulder and my eyes widened in horror.

His breathe blew against my right ear as he leaned in.

"You're mine baby." He whispered huskily before I slammed my elbow into his nose.

'crack'

I pushed him off of me and he gripped my ankle just as I opened the door.

"You stupid bitch!" He screamed, trying to pull me back in.

"Fuck you." I yelled as I slammed into the ground.

He crawled on top of me and pinned my wrist above my head. I struggled against his hold and spat in his face.

It distracted him long enough for me to get one hand out of his hold and I grabbed the nearest thing to me.

A scalpel.

"Bitch." He said, opening his eyes after he had just whipped the spit off of his face.

"Rot in hell asshole." I said, raising the scalpel I stabbed him in the throat.

Blood gushed out and I smiled sinisterly. "Looks like you fell for the murderer." I said, his blood spurting all over my face and his eyes widened in recognition. He knew everything. "I look forward to seeing you in hell love." He sputtered out before his body slumped forward.

I pushed him off of me and then proceeded to drag his body to one of the rooms. I somehow lifted him onto the table and as I stitched up his neck with a dirty needle and some surgical thread I found, I felt at peace. I strapped his body to the table with the restraints and then I shut the door. I walked out of the red door, shedding my bloody hospital gown along the way and then I locked that door for good.

I skipped down the hall to mine and Xander's room to take a well-deserved shower.

As I let the stream of water wash away my sins I heard someone come into the bathroom.

"Allie?" Xander called, just outside the shower curtain.

I quickly washed the rest of the blood off and then I opened the curtain. He stepped into the shower and wrapped his arms around me.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Don't ever go in the red door again." He said as he pushed my body against the wall of the shower.

"Don't plan on it." I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and he gave me the best pleasure I had ever felt in my life.

************

When we were done with our shower is stepped out and padded into the room to slip on a large black t-shirt and some purple lace panties.

"We had an intruder come in while you were gone." Xander said as he slipped on some boxers and black sweatpants.

"Oh really?" I asked, already knowing exactly who it was that had intruded.

"Yeah, we never found the guy so I guess he left."

"Yeah I guess so." I smiled inwardly.

"Don't worry babe. I'll keep you safe."

He missed my shoulder and wrapped his arms around me.

"Oh I know it honey. Now let's get some food, I am starving." I said before grabbing his hand and leading him to the kitchen to make some macaroni and cheese with bacon.
