Eval's P. O. V.                                              After climbing three flights of stairs I reach the third floor. I turn the flashlight on. I shine the light on the floor and the walls. I start walking, calling Austin's name as I do. "Austin!, Austin!". I pause so she can answer, that is, if she's up here. Silence greets me back. I shine my light and see a door. I walk towards it, open it and enter the room. Its completely bare except for a cabinet and a couple of blankets. I think-where are the beds?  I grab the blankets and head over to the cabinet.  I bend down and open it. Inside are more blankets, a bottle of cough syrup, and some bandages. I grab them all and put them underneath my arm. Holding the flashlight in front of me with my other arm, I walk out of the room and down the hallway. As I'm walking down the stairs, I feel a cold air rush by me. I stop walking and flash my light up against the walls. I don't see any windows. I continue to walk down the stairs. As I'm walking, I can't help but think- if there's  no windows in the hallway, then where's this air coming from?
