As the sun tucked into the clouds, leaves consisting of gold and ruby collected in piles on the ground pulling my eye towards the wall of isolation growing thick around the perimeter of the mansion. Ivy crept up the walls, stopping in fear of the gobs of smoke billowing from the peak filling the air with the nostalgic scent of burning wood and smouldering ash.
As I step on to the acres of green grass I hear the giant, rusty iron gate slam shut behind me.
The Clouds overhead start turning grey and I feel a small rain drop fall on my nose. The towering trees dance in the whistling wind and I see a faint silhouette run across the window of the mansion. I think to turn away but then it hits you. Your trapped in these unfamiliar grounds.
A slight rustle in the bush catches my eye but to my relief a small rabbit comes running out. I treaded on but feeling weak and exposed to my surrounding dangers but little did I know its to late.
Branches sweep past my face as the rain gets heavier so I run to the mansion for warmth and cover but then I feel my phone vibrate.
Blocked number...
What do I do. Answer and ask for help or carry on running to the mansion. So I pick up. "Hello"... I ask timidly into my phone. I ask once more. " An unfamiliar voice answers."I see you, I feel your presence. LEAVE." Now what. So I Carey on for shelter or run home? So onwards I go.
You get a few paces further and hear two knifes being sharpened. I assume that's its just my mind but then I think again. I hear footsteps coming closer and closer. I run back to the iron gate and start to climb. But as I reach for the top of the gate something, someone graves my foot. I don't dare to look back but start to wale my legs in attempt to loosen its grip. Then see a shadow running back to the mansion. I jump of the gate and start to run home.
My phone goes off again. But before you have a chance to open it a car speeds round the corner, the head lights blinding you...
I wake up in a deserted hospital. I have been in a hospital before and almost become accustomed to the crying of children or the squeezing on the freshly cleaned floor. The hospital has impeccably clean white and tile walls. Every thing g was perfect for what I could see... Until I look out the window.
The ground was ash and the sky was fire.
I have no memory of such an event to have ruined that which we once walked.
But then your phone rings again
Blocked number...
What do I do? I have nothing left to do so I answer. Timidly into the phone.
"Hello?... HELLO?" No answer until...
"Hello?" You hear a panicked child whisper into the phone.
You understand she is trying to say something important but the connection is bed here. Although you do understand a few words.
"Listen, you have to...Its coming for you... Get out...run away, far away...it if finds you it will kill you."
The phone hangs up before you know if she is ok. Or where she is.
I hear foot steps coming down the corridor. You check for a place to hide in this practically empty room. Under the bed? Behind the curtain? But it's to late and you hear the door open.
"Help...HELP!" And she drops dead right in front of me.
Then I hear a little girl crying behind me. A little girl who looked no older then 5 or 6. A little girl who looked terrified and lost in this apocalyptic world.She is wearing a big grey T-shirt and some ripped black leggings. She starts to explain. Someone or something had has a reign or terror over us as a nation and ever since them she had lived in a mansion. Never coming out. Until someone entered his grounds and woke him. You interrupt... "Me... It was me...it was all my fault." The girl looks at me with a blank face. "You. You caused this. You have doomed this nation!"
You both hear a noise coming from the window beside you. The floor boards creek under her feet as she creeps over to the window. Without looking for a second she yells at me..."run...RUN!" She grabs my wrist and drags me behind me. I keep asking what's wrong but there is no supply.
We finally get to a room at the other side of the hospital. As I run in to the room I catch a glimpse of a Singh on the door reading isolation room.
My phone rings and once again it was a blocked number. She tells me not to answer but I don't listen to her...
A small trembling voice answers...
"You have to get out of there. She's..."
The phone cuts of before she can finish her sentence. She asks who it was but I don't reply. She thinks nothing of it. Well at least that's what I thought. We look at each other with pale faces. Until we here a noise.
It was a scream followed bye a gunshot. But the most defending part was the dead silence which followed.
I look at her with a feared look on my face but she just looks back, widens her eyes and smiles.
So now what. I'm stuck in a room with a possible phycopath and no one to help me. Do I run or play it out to survive.
But how. Who was in the car? Who was the limping silhouette? But worst of all who was this little girl?
