THE ROOM
The lights flickered.
As each flicker passed, I counted them.
1...2...3...
Pitch blackness filled the Station.
I brought my attention quickly to the sudden scream from The Room.
Then I ran...
My class has now been trapped in the Police Station for a week.
We were on a baby-ish trip to the police station to keep us 17 yr olds aware of what will happen if we 'Follow The Wrong Path' A.K.A do something bad.
My name is Monique Reverde.
And this is my story of how I died.
The snow was falling like light rain on our small trip there.
But once we got inside, the snow fall sounded like thunder from under the polished Aliminium roof.
Me and my friends were being stupid and saying stuff like 'It would be so funny if we got trapped in here'
But we had no idea that what we said would come true.
It took about half an hour for all the doors to get stuck from the snow.
When we tried to get out, we quickly realised that the snow had trapped us thanks to the revealing glass windows in the doors.
You may think 'oh, that isn't so bad. You're with Police Officers.'
That may be so, but we're also stuck with criminals and 'trained to kill' German Shepherds.
Since we've been trapped the crimials escaped from behind bars, and my class mates have been targeted one by one.
And murdered from the shadows.
The first murder was the most painful for me, both emotionally and mentally.
She was Melodie Wakefield, my Best Friend.
That's when I counted each flicker...
While I was running, I found something that stopped my heart.
Melodie was layed on the floor, posed so that she was pointing to a door named 'The Room'.
On the door was a sentence someone scrawled using her own blood:
'Melodie's Dead.
So Will Everyone Else Be.
But You're Next Monique.
You Are Next'
The message sent a dark shiver down my spine.
Ever since then everyone has been told that The Room is strictly forbidden.
And I find it a miracle.
Because someone always dies.
And it's always next to The Room.
But its never me.
I'v always thought my murder is a little more tragic than the others.
I feel like it's a retold fairytale of Romeo And Juliet - except for one minor thing.
We get murdered.
Together.
I go on a walk down the hall, and find Josh there.
He's usually bombarded with girls, so I take the oppertunity to say 'hi'.
"Hey, Josh" I call casually.
"Oh, hey Monique, I didn't see you there".
And before I know it, we're laughing and just enjoying each others company.
But then he reaches for my hand, and I'm just thinking 'savour the moment. This is once in a lifetime'.
He leans in, whispers in my ear "We are together forever.
And that's all that matters." And kisses me.
But the dark figure comes over us,
and we're dragged to the door and murdered together.
