The 3rd Floor

Chapter 8

Chapter 8||TAKEN AND TRAPPED||

||Lexi's POV||

I just stared into the darkness towards the creepy figure. I reached for the plate, but they pulled it back near them.

"My name, y-you know it." I said knowing that Emily and Kurstin had now scooted over next to me.

The figure slowly made its way towards me. It inched further and further until we came face to face.

It was a ghost I think. It was wearing a long cape that flowed down and covered their feet, I they had any. The cape came up and covered the persons face. It looked like a hood was covering the face.

It held the plate, but soon handed it over to an equally creepy, shorter thing standing next to the taller creepy thing.

(Sorry, don't know if the creepy thing is a he or she yet.)

Just as a was about to scream, the taller thing put its hand over my mouth. They had long fingers and they only had 3 of them on each hand. I thought people had 5 on each hand.

Anyway, they pulled their hand away and then pulled their hood off their head. It was an older looking woman. She had to be about 40. Her hair was a grey-almost-black color. After removing her hood, the whole cape fell into the smaller one's arms. She was now wearing a beautiful white dress. It almost looked like a wedding dress. However, as I looked closer, I noticed that it had been ripped and tattered at the bottom.

"Who are you?" I asked

The woman didn't answer. Instead, she motioned for me to follow her into the dark. When I refused, she grabbed me into her arms and flew down a dark hallway.

By then I was screaming so loud, I thought my lungs were at the point of falling out. Kurstin and Emily tried running after me, but they ran into some invisible wall. The ghost thing trapped them in a box close to the elevator.

They weren't the only ones trapped! I had arms to escape from.

I woke up in a dark room. It was room #356. The tv flickered as well as the lights.

I scanned the room hoping Emily and Kurstin had joined me. I was wrong. I was also tied up. My hands wouldn't budge. My legs were yanked back by a tight rope that was entwined around my whole figure.

Then, a scream pierced my ears and made me wince. It was Emily. She was crying and screaming, running in all directions. I could tell because her sobs were alternating directions.

"Why them?!" She sobbed. "My best friends!!!!"

That was enough to make tears well up in my own eyes. We were probably not going to get out of here an if we did, it wasn't going to be alive. Emily, Kurstin and I were trapped on a stupid ghost floor that nobody had access too. We couldn't escape and no one could enter.

"I'm scared." I muttered between gasps for air.

My breath was cut short by a black figure that ran past my eyes. It was my kidnapper I guessed. My breath returned back to normal. I would've jumped, but I, or course, was tied from my head to my feet. No moving whatsoever. My head was the only thing I could get to slightly turn.

This really sucks.

Suddenly, I heard someone scream, but it was coming from this floor.

"Lexi! Help." That was followed by gasps for air.

"Emily." I swallowed

My heart stopped when I noticed Emily covered in scratches, head to toe.

"Emily." Was all I could get out before I collapsed in defeat.
