jane pushed the door to the attic open and the old metal of the door made a creaking sound that echoed within the walls of the attic, just as the one in the hypnosis machine had done. with an arm around vienna price in order to help her walk, the girls headed into the space of the large room and closed the door behind them. 

the attic was one of the only places that hadn't been touched since jane's family bought out the old hospital and decided to remodel it. it was almost exactly as it had been the night of the fire when the patients fought against the abuse their doctors were giving them. the place was full of cobwebs and dust, and her eyes spotted a couple of rats running around somewhere in the back. there were ropes everywhere, that had been used for different things. and since the shutters were closed, there was no light coming in, which left them in the dark and unable to see until their eyes adjusted. it was rather loud as well, they could hear the sounds of metal against metal from the machinery, as wheels that kept different things working in the hospital spun like clockwork. 

gesturing to the far right of the attic, jane explained to the heiress who was just about in between conscious and unconsciousness. "the control panel is on that side. i'll go pull the lever to open all the doors. you stay here so we can go back down to the lobby together." she didn't want to take her over to the control panel and bring her back to the exit. it would have probably been too difficult for her and they both needed to save their energy for their trek back down the various sets of stairs.

vienna nodded a bit absently and jane left the blonde leaning against an old wheelchair that was nearby. the brunette went to the panel where there was a long lever sticking up from the floor. in order to open the windows and doors of the hospital, she would need to pull it down. her hand grabbed the handle of the lever and with some difficulty, she pulled it down toward her. 

from a distance, she could already see the morning sunlight peeking out through the bottom of the shutters which were slowly opening. she bit down on her lip nervously as she realized their plan was faulty. the lever was broken, and the only way to open the doors was for someone to stay behind and hold them open. jane came to the realization that she would have to be that someone. vienna price would not want to be the one to sacrifice herself.

she got caught up for a moment, trying to find a way to hold the attic windows open. perhaps if she could keep them open long enough for vienna to stick a piece of machinery under one of the metal shuttera, she and vienna could then climb out the windows and wait for daylight to break and the doors to open on their own. bloody harry only struck once the doors were closed after his victims would call on him.

her attention was pulled back when she heard the screams of vienna price. nearby was bloody harry, and he was inching closer to her.

another update on time. so guys, i just looked at my prewritten chapters, and there are only three more chapters (four more, including this one) before this story is completely over. i didn't realize that we were so close to the end. so in celebration of that, i kind of just want to post them all at once, but i wont do that (unless you all want me to). what im going to do it post one every day until im done posting this story. so there will be an update today, an update tomorrow, and the last two updates on monday (i always post the last chap and epoligue on the same day).

and also, i was thinking of posting a part two, but i dont know if you all would like that, or would read it. so that's still something i'm debating on. 

give this a nice vote if you want ^.^

thank you, and have a great weekend!
