Leslie (The remake)

Chapter Four

I shake my head and look at Brax, who was smiling in amusement. "Brax, there's more than just him! He must've spared some!" I whisper harshly, afraid to speak any louder. Brax only made a face at my comment before putting down the camera. "No worries, Ade. We'll just avoid where it's populated." He says as he walks down a long hallway. Shocked, I ran after him. "Brax, I told you that we were NOT going to explore this place with them running around!" I scold as he continues to walk. He chuckled and pointed the camera at me. "You said if we hear anything that came from anywhere but us, that's when we would leave." He teased me, repeating what I told him before we came in.

I growl and push the camera out of my face, causing him to laugh. I tense under his laugh, looking around quickly as I hoped that no one would hear him. "Brax! Shut up!" I shout at him. Suddenly, there was the sound of doors slamming. We both looked at each other and looked in the direction of the visiting center. I quickly ran back to look around for the slamming sound. Brax followed a bit after me, looking around with his camera viewing. "Adelaide..We aren't going anywhere now." He says as he points out that the front door was closed. Panicked, I ran to them and pull and twisted the knobs. Locked. It was as if someone locked us in from the outside.

A laugh of a madman is heard, echoing through the halls. "Damn!" I growl as I turn back to Brax. "What now!? I told you to stop laughing so loud and now they know we're here!" I shouted at him, who only furrowed his brow. "You didn't tell me, you YELLED at me. They probably heard YOU not me. Anyway, we might as well explore this place since we'll be stuck here. Maybe we can find Chambermaid's secrets they most likely tried to hide. Maybe keep those as evidence and we can finally get a raise..or a promotion." He said, continuing to go the way he had before. I stood there, staring at the ground for a bit.

Brax is really trying to get us killed. I thought to myself. I heard something scoot and I look over to find that one of the bodies was moved, a nurse sitting lopsided in a chair. Her teeth and eyelids were removed. Her blank stare rattled my thoughts. "Hold on. Wait up, Brax!" I say, no longer wanting to stay and have a staring contest with the body. I dashed down the hallway, not noticing the eyes that stared at the back of my head as I left the area.

I finally catch up to Brax, my breath heavy and ragged. "Geez, what were you running from? Spiders?" He jokes as he films the dirty and bloody walls of the hall. "No. Something moved one of the bodies. It was horrifying..." I trailed off, trying to steady my breath. "Someone's propping up bodies and playing with them?" He asked, looking down at me. "It had such a...blank stare," I say as I only look forward. "It just didn't feel comfortable staying behind." We both stopped when there was the sound of a chair falling over. We both turned and froze.

That same nurse I saw in the chair was standing at the end of the hallway. Her skin looked saggy and her eyes were no longer there. It was as if she was a shell someone could climb into and play pretend in. It stood there, staring at us. Brax pushed back on my shoulder, moving me behind him. "Stay behind me.." He whispered as he moved forward a bit. "Brax...what are you doing?" I murmur, watching him in concern.

He put his hand inside his coat as he stops halfway down the hall. "Hello?" He calls out to the nurse. He didn't get an answer from it, the nurse only standing still. "Ugh...her skin. She has a zipper on her stomach.." He says as he zooms in on the details of this gruesome costume. Just then, the nurse started to make a mad dash for him, "her" movements erratic and uncontrolled. Brax backed away a bit, trying to zoom his camera lens out as he tries to get a closer look. I feared he didn't notice how close the costume was getting to him. "Brax!!" I screamed, covering my eyes. I heard Brax curse aloud and shuffling of clothes.

BANG!
