Episode 16: Self-Lost

Episode 16: Self-Lost

The Kregger’s Manor from the outside had decaying white plaster and age cracks all on the side of the manor. Dark shadows covered what would be a yard only to reflect murky darkness. Cold brick and cobblestones made up pillars on the deck. The atmosphere around the manor was such a sensory overload that spending the night would never happen.

The inside however was completely different as it had such an electrifying energy with the party music, dancing, and drunken mess. Lots of people dressed up from a Joker to a sexy sponge. Dancing in the middle of the main lobby.

“Whose house is this?” Angela asked while moving through the crowd.

“A girl named Brianna. She got like all of the connections. I think she’s wearing a super woman costume,” said Sammy.  Sammy took Amy to meet some dorm-mates; this gave Angela time to explore a little bit. Toward the side, there was a stairwell leading up to the second floor. However, while she was heading up, a girl in a super woman costume was heading down, but stopped.

“Do I know you?” she asked. This had to be Brianna. Forget about super woman, she should have been spider woman, because Angela felt that the way she stopped to analyze her made it seem like her spider sense was going off.

“You…you must be Brianna.” Angela said.

“Cha.”

“Great party, I just had to see the infamous Brianna because the rumors can’t be true,” acted Angela. Angela found herself feeling nervous, guilty even. Unease by all of the lies she was telling.

“Rumors? What rumors?” Brianna asked inquisitively. Angela eyes widen, trying to come up with something, but continued with,

“You know…the rumor.”

“I’m going to KILL DEK!” Brianna exclaimed.

“Yes! Dek! Hell of a guy, where’s your bathroom?” Angela deflected.

“You have no idea. Umm there’s a couple of them, but since you’re halfway up the stairs, take the first one on the left,” Brianna said to her.

While Brianna headed downstairs, Angela proceed up, finding herself down a long narrow hallway. She maneuvered left and upon pacing her hand on the doorknob she heard her name being called out. What seemed to have come from down the hallway, after came slight laughter. The intensity of the laughter personified into fear that gripped Angela. The menacing tone of Angela’s name being called out was hate as if mocking her presence. Angela’s heart began pounding as a sinking feeling in her stomach gave way. This sickening feeling of fear held Angela in place, frozen.

It wasn’t long before Angela felt her body being pushed directly to the bathroom door. With her back up against the door, she experienced her feet rising above the floor as if someone was lifting her up. The more elevated she went, the more she weight she felt being pressed against her. Pressing her chest, pressing her body against the door. Angela sensed a force as if her body was being use to brake down the bathroom door open, hearing the cracking of the door behind her. The sound Angela was only able to produce was a choking noise, unable to form words. This left her unable to scream for any help. A moment later and she was suddenly dropped, falling to the floor just as Charles along with two girls reached the top of the stairs.
