Bloody Darkness

Emptiness

Vanessa

The door was opening and I cling more to Ethan I felt my heart in my throat and I hid my face in his chest, I didn't wanted to see what was in the door. The lights went on and I could hear Katy said the time 9:35; we had spent 5 minutes in the dark.

- Hi Guys - said a lively voice, I felt that I knew her.

I took off my face from Ethan's chest and opened my eyes to see who was at the door, it was Lilith, Harry's sister, I watched as she directed her look to the floor and her expression changed completely, it wasn't horror or fear, she just stuck there with a serious face.

- Let's get out of here - Derek said while he grab Lilith and pull her out the room and we all stay there amazed.

We walked down the long hallway for a few minutes, searching in the rooms for the others.

- Where the hell is my brother? - Derek said very nervous and upset.

- We'll find him, relax - Katy said trying to comfort him.

I could see Derek and Katy were holding hands, and I realized that Ethan hadn't let mine since we left the room, Lilith had not uttered a word, she was deep in thought, in that moment we all started to scream as we could see how a body without head rolled down the stairs from the third floor and behind it, his head.

We all move away horrified by that scene, I squeezed my hand over Ethan; I saw Katy approached to Lilith, grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

- What the hell is going on here? - Katy said while shocking Lilith.

Lilith turned away from Katy and ran to the third floor; we follow her to find her in front of an open door with a shocked face and her hands in her face.

- Lilith..? - I ask.

Lilith just entered the room without saying anything, we approached the door and the whole room was empty except for a wooden pedestal around the center of the room, facing the pedestal was Harry knelt.

- HARRY! Is not here ... ... - Lilith said as her voice cracked.

I couldn't understand what was happening, what wasn't there? ... That was good or bad? I was waiting for Harry to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.

Derek and Ethan lifted him out of the room, nobody said anything, we continued down the hallway on the third floor when the lights star twinkling, I heard Katy say 9:44, we walked into a room which had a large dressing room and we hide there, a minute later, everything returned to darkness, three minutes had passed when I heard a sound coming from the room, it was a melody which made my body twitch, Ethan hug me realizing.

The melody continued, I felt like one of us opened the dressing room door and went out, closing the door, missing just one minute for the light to return, as the melody was approaching, Ethan hugged me harder, I could heard our breathing.

When the door opened and the light came back, there was Lilith with a music box in her hands that produced that creepy sound.

We were about to argue with her when the only thing we could do was scream with horror, making Lilith turn around to where everyone was looking.
