Immortal

Before I start note this is a short story and there will be only one part to it. Thanks much and happy reading.

* * *

The hallway got narrower and narrower. The room at the end got bigger, taller and even more daunting than when I first saw it. This was it. This was my new home.

Ever since I was little no one like me, even my parents. That's why I'm here, in Aunt Melanie's old hotel. She died only a few weeks ago from leukaemia, so my parents kicked me out of home and told me to live here.

I walked down to my room. Room 546. Why this room, I have no idea but something seems off about this hallway. Something very strange.

"Ahhhhhh, help me, help me!" I hear a voice scream.

"W-w-who's there," I ask as the screams cut off.

What was that?.....that screaming?

I had just unlocked my door when I heard a panting behind me. Was someone there? I thought this hotel was abandoned? Sure enough when I turned around there was a girl, in her early twenties leaning against the door.

"H-h-hello," I said.

"Huh?" she replied.

"H-hi I'm Spencer, wants your name?" I asked.

"Oh hi, I'm Mary," she said.

"Wha-what was in there?"

"Nothing? Why?"

"I heard screaming from inside."

"Your mind must be playing tricks on you."

"O-ok, well I've got to go," I said.

"See ya around," Mary said with a smirk,

I wonder what's up with her, I thought as I got ready for bed. Was I really imagining things?

I woke up with a jolt. I was lying on the floor outside the door to a room.

"No, no, no!" I screamed, "Don't make me do this. Let me go!"

"Why, why would I do that?" I heard a voice say.

I watched through the door, as a small figure, probably a boy, no older than six hopped into his bed.

"Do it," the voice said.

"Why, why?" I replied.

"Do it otherwise you'll be next."

I had to do it, didn't I? I watched as a plague of dust surrounded the boy. I looked into my hand. There was a tube of Anthrax in it. I heard a coughing, then a woman, probably the mother of the boy's voice said, "Charlie! Where did these blue spots come from?"

I heard muddled up letters as the boys tried to speak.

The coughing, blue spots and muddled speech are all symptoms of Anthrax poisoning!

"Hello, this is an emergency. My boy, he's sick. He has blue spots and can't talk. Help, help him!" I heard the woman say.

"You're free now," the voice said as I turned around and saw who it was. It was Mary.

I ran back to my room, looking out the window to see if an ambulance was coming. That's strange. The mother called 911? Maybe the ambulance is just late. I hope so. I don't want to be the one who killed the boy. I watch the moon slowly sink and the sun rise. I didn't get any sleep, so I guess I should.

I wake up to see the sunset. It's so beautiful with the brown leaves on the trees. I hear a bang. I think it's a door slamming.

"It's time," a voice said.

Uggh, it's Mary. I don't want to see her.

"Time to go," Mary tells me.

"To go where?" I ask.

"Oh, c'mon you know," she says and pushes me in front of a door. I look up. It's room 547. The one I heard the screaming from. I don't want to go in here but Mary will hurt me if I don't.

"What do you want me to do once I'm in?" I ask.

"Just go with it," she says and pushes me in, locking the door behind me.

I see a shadowy figure jumping out the window, then this being on the floor. What was it? I walked over. Was that a person? There was what looked like a body with bruises, cuts, scratches and blood. I was a horrid sight. I knelt down. The person was still breathing!

"911," I called, "Help! I'm at 29 Reed Road, Virginia. There is a body, I'm not sure of the gender but the persons still breathing."

I further described the event to them and then hung up. Maybe this will make up for when I killed Charlie.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Mary says.

"No, stop. I just can't take it anymore!" I scream, "This is the end."

I turn around to where I saw a knife laying and pick it up. The guy fleeing out the window dropped it while he was escaping.

"You think that's going to stop me?" she says.

A fire burnt up inside me. That was it! She's done it! I lunged at her, piercing the knife through her skin. I looked up and there was no blood. The knife pierced through her skin but there was no blood?

Mary fell down onto the floor and not long afterwards I think she stopped breathing. Then she disappeared! One moment she was there and the next she was gone. I was watching her the whole time so it's not like she ran away.

I smiled. It feels good that she's finally gone. I never going into that room again. I walked out then locked the door with one of the many keys I was given.

I think I can finally get some sleep now. It's been a long time since I've got a good nights sleep. The one thing I'm still confused about is neither of the ambulances called, have come? Maybe I said the wrong address, I'm not sure. What about the ambulance the woman called?

After a long nights sleep I woke up. The sun was high in the sky, so it must the midday. I walked into the bathroom so I could take a shower to get rid of the stench in my clothes.

"Hello there, Spencer," a familiar voice said as I walked into the bathroom.
