Four Days Remaining

Zachary

"Wake up sleepy head!" I cough as water is poured onto my face, my body coming back to life. I look around the room, my arms and legs strapped down to a chair. The lights in the room slowly flicker on, Amanda standing in the doorway. She slowly walks over to me, a large grin plastered on her face.

"What do you want?" Her fingers run up my arm, the hairs on my arm standing up as her fingers stop at my shoulder.

"I just want to do my favorite hobby. Is that so bad?" I watch her closely, the palm of her hand now on the side of my face. She leans in, our faces inches apart. My eyes widen as our lips connect, Amanda kissing me fiercely. I struggle to move as something begins to crawl into my mouth, moving down my throat. I scream as Amanda pulls away, the creature staying in my throat.

"Get this thing out of me!" I try to gulp it down, anything to get it out of my throat but it stays still.

"I think I will keep it there for a little bit. Anyway, have fun being eaten alive while I go have fun with the others." Screams echo down the hallway as Amanda opens the door, the sound cutting off when the door slams shut, turning completely black. I struggle against the restraints, looking around the room for anything that could help me.

Four Days Remaining

Logan

I stay with my back against the wall, sneaking a look at the creature that is peering through the glass. Its long white snout runs against the glass as it sniffs the doorway, the white eyes only looking ahead. After a couple more minutes of sniffing the creature turns away, moving down the hallway.

I stay still as the door is thrown against the back wall, a huge dent in the middle. The creature moves inside the room, partially in the room and partially outside. I quickly grab it by the snout, holding its mouth shut tightly as I pull it deeper into the room. The creature cuts my arm as I kick it into the door, a jagged metal piece impaling it. I wince and hold my arm as the creature lets out an ear splintering howl, struggling desperately to get the metal out.

Before the creature can get out I quickly push it farther back, another howl escaping the creature's mouth. I turn around and run out of the room, some blood dripping onto the floor from my arm. I slowly move down the hallway, trying to ignore the classical music that is now coming from the speakers. This bitch is insane...

Samantha

I scream as I kick the creature in the head, blood splattering onto the wall as its skull is crushed in the doorway. The classical music from the speakers picks up speed, becoming faster and louder as I walk into the hallway. A mixture of Amanda's laugh and the creature's howl echoes down the hallway as I begin to walk, heading in their direction.

"Samantha..." I spin around, squinting my eyes to see down the hallway. Darkness seems to consume the hallway ahead of me, something echoing my name from the shadow. I quickly rip a piece off of my shirt and throw it towards the darkness, my blood running cold when the cloth explodes into black fire. "Samantha..."

The classical music becomes louder as I run down the hall, the shadow slowly becoming more and more distant. The chanting of my name becomes mixed with other names, all of them coming from different directions. Why the hell is she doing this to us?

"Because it's fun my dear." Before I have time to turn around I am thrown into the wall. I scream before I make contact, quickly pushing myself up and turning around. Chills run up my spine as I stare into the dense shadow that stands in front of me, crudely outlining a human. I slowly stood up, the shadow not moving towards me, firmly planted in the middle of the hallway. You can do this Samantha, run like hell and find the others...
