The footsteps continued to stomp around and approach closer, the sound of heavy armour jolting could be heard clearly. The shuddering noise of radio static was heard before the chilling voice spoke.
"Somebody was here" The deep voice reported "yes, yes I will".
"I have an idea" Caleb faintly whispered to me."I'll grab a knife and get him from behind"
"No he's loaded you're cra-" I almost shouted but Caleb covered my mouth with his hand to prevent me from gaining attention from the visitor.
He noiselessly slid open one of the kitchen draws and pulled out the nearest blade. I clutched Caleb's arm and tried to pull him away.
"EMILY STOP". He pushed me off him, causing my body to crash against the cold hard tiles.
"Ow" I grabbed my head in pain whilst slowly rising to my feet. As soon as I noticed Caleb had gone my heart began to race more than ever.
"CALEB?" I called out as quietly as possible, my body shaking with fear. I poked my head round the corner of the door...the man had gone...vanished, but so had my friends.
"Xia?" I tip toed out of the kitchen. "Leon?" But there was no response. The sweat began to drip down my forehead and my cheeks were bright red with panic. Where on earth were they?
I trotted past the dinning hall and decided to head upstairs. Each step creaked as I set foot on them.
"What the..?" I thought to myself as I saw the trail of blood leading to my room, I immediately feared the worst. I stood outside my room and noticed there was a shadow peeking from under the gap of my door. I gripped the handle and twisted the knob but it was locked from the other side.
"Urghh" A voice from the other side mumbled.
"Leon!?"
"E-Emily?..." He sounded exhausted.
"LEON! LEON" I pounded aggressively on the door and thrusted my shoulder into it, in an attempt to bust it open.
"Emily..."
"LEON LEON ITS ME" I began shouting loudly as I couldn't break into the room. "WHERES CALEB AND XIA!?" My voice trembling.
"Yo-you need to leave...while you still can" he stuttered.
"NO TELL ME WHATS GOING ON!?"
But Leon didn't respond this time.
"LEON...LEON ANSWER ME" I kicked the door violently. "Please tell me you're okay...please" Tears began to roll down my burning cheeks.
"Hello Emily"
I froze in my place, too afraid to turn around. I clenched my sweaty fists, ready to throw a punch.
"Are you not going to look at me?.." I recognised the voice....impossible. It wasn't the voice I heard earlier though... it was someone worse. I slowly turned around and shifted my eyes to face the figure.
*GASP*
"...M...Mason?"
