The Supernatural Symbol

15. That Little Door Over There

Well, I received 2 guesses of how Lauren and Cia might have looked. Since they were both very similar, they both won. Congrats to @22lshah and @LorenaMalheiro for having the closest guesses. Yes, Cia does indeed have brown hair lighter at the tips and brown eyes. Her hair is long and she has tan skin as well. Yesh, she looks a bit like me 😊  Lauren is a blonde, with long hair, blue eyes and she's got fair skin. Classic white girl AM I RIGHT? OK, well now you at least know a bit more of how they look.

Cia's POV:

Well I guess this means that Sam and I are sharing a room then... SCORE! IN YOUR FLAT-FACED FACE LAUREN!! 

"OK, so where is this mysterious door we are looking for?" Sam asks. 

"It's that little door over there," I point to the wall opposite the bathroom door. Sam tries to turn the handle but the door seems locked. I flop down onto my bed on the left side of the room as Sam observes the door a bit further. 

"I am going to take a nap." I state.

"Again? But you slept in the car on the way here." Sam replies.

"So what? I sleep when I please." I lay down sprawled across the bed and I fall asleep. I have a confusing, scary and sorta fun dream all at once. I'm on a cliff and I jump down into the sea below, and suddenly I find that I am trapped inside a glass bottle and I am struggling to keep my head above the water. There are dark shadows at the bottom tugging and pulling at my legs until they finally drag me under the water. I can surprisingly see very clearly in the darkness. I swim forward until I am stopped by the glass of the giant bottle I am in. When I turn around the head the other way I am stopped by a large dark figure blocking my way. It grabs my jaw with one hand and I open my mouth to scream but I can't make a sound. It starts imbibing the life out of me and into itself until it finally lets go. It disappears as the water drains out of the bottle and I am left in a nice grassland. There are flowers and trees and I continue straight ahead until I am stopped by an impenetrable wall of trees. Abruptly, the ground beneath me opens up into a big sinkhole and not after long I am reenacting Alice in Wonderland, kicking and pushing away different Laurens that are floating around as I fall down the hole. 

I am woken by Sam poking my shoulder. 

"Time for dinner." He gestures to Dean and Lauren waiting in the doorway of the room. I get up and feel like I've been drooling the whole time. I wipe around my mouth with my sleeve and I find that I have indeed been drooling while I slept. I walk into the doorway and as I pass the big mirror in the hall I realise that I have a serious bedhead. I ruffle through my hair to even it out. I check my watch for the time and not only do I find that I slept for about 4 hours until 6.53 PM, but that I have those weird lines from the sheets on my arms. Must have been a pretty damn good nap. In the elevator we stand awkwardly in silence, the cheesy elevator music playing. 

"Enjoy your nap?" Lauren asks me.

"I'm so good at sleeping, I can do it with my eyes closed." I smile at my really bad pun.

"Umm.. What?" she asks again.

"That means yes." I roll my eyes. We step out of the elevator and we head to the restaurant. We have a quick dinner. I order a hot dog, Dean orders a steak, Sam gets a burger and Lauren gets a filet mignon. I eat so much, I wonder why I am not fat yet. 

"So what's happening tomorrow?" I ask.

"Well, since Cia and I are the two staying in the room with the strange door, we will look for any weird activity or any strange sounds. We'll keep a look out tonight." Sam says, looking at me.

"Don't be doing anything funky tonight OK you two?" Dean says to Sam and I.

"Don't worry, he's got no chance with me." I smile smugly at Sam. He wishes. Haha. He can try all he wants but won't be getting anywhere. Dean chuckles and Sam cracks a smile. Lauren stays silent and scoffs quietly. 

Back at the room, I am up until around 11.45 since I had a four hour nap earlier. I stay up reading the book "Between the Sheets" by Molly O'Keefe. I get through half of the book when I start getting tired. I yawn, wanting to read more but eventually I let myself fall asleep. I am later woken by Sam prodding my shoulder.

"Can you hear that?" he whispers.

"Hear what?" I yawn.

"Those sounds! From inside the door." he points in the direction of the little door. 

"Stay up for a moment, I'm sure that it'll come back." he says. And it did. My heart started beating faster as I heard strange sounds from inside the door, as if someone was shuffling about and trying to get out. 

"I want to know what's there." I say. I turn the lights on with the switch by my bed-side table. The shuffling gradually fades away. 

"Run over to Dean and Lauren's room, tell them to get up and come here. I'll stay and try to unlock the door." Sam send me over to the other room. I knock loudly a few times until Dean comes to answer the door.

"We've got something." I say before he can protest. We hurry back to the room with the door and we find that Sam has gotten the door to open. Behind it we see a brick wall with the words "4 Days" written on it with white chalk. 

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Lauren crosses her arms.

"You two stay here," Dean tells Lauren and I, "we'll go get the stuff" he says. He gestures for Sam to follow him out. I stand by the the broken down door, staring at the words on the wall wondering what they could mean. I look down for a few seconds since I'm getting tired again, and when I look back up, the words have changed to "3 Days." I check my watch and find that is it gone 12.00 PM. Another day. I think that it is telling us we have 3 more days to live...? I'm not yet sure. I step away from the wall as Sam and Dean come in the room with a big duffel bag. They rummage around for a while until they find a sledgehammer. Sam holds the hammer up in position ready to hit the wall down. He goes for the first lunge and on the fifth impact he hits the wall down completely. We all help to pry away any other bricks in the way. Once we get the the other side we find a very old and fragile looking staircase that leads down into the darkness below. 

I wonder where this staircase leads.... You'll have to wait and see. Did you find this chapter interesting? Who was the prettiest, Cia or Lauren? Tell me in the comments!
