Bloody Darkness

The Split

Katy

Behind Lilith, there was an old wooden mannequin, we all screamed and the lights went off again. We heard how something fell to the floor and the lights came back.

Lilith and the mannequin were gone, only the music box was on the floor. I was the first one to leave the room but when I opened the door I felt like something really heavy fell all over me, throwing me down.

-Katy! - Derek said getting closer.

In that moment I noticed that a body was on top of me, it was a big guy, which gave no sign of life.

-GET HIM OFF! - I said screaming.

-Oh my god! Is Daniel - Ethan said getting closer to help Derek.

Derek helped me to get up when I felt a pain in my foot, it was my ankle, I couldn't press it on the floor. Great! A damned mannequin, dead people and now I'm hurt. I tried to move but it hurt too much, Derek noticed this and he took my waist lifting me slightly off the ground to help me walk.

-Guys we have to move, we only have 5 minutes - Ness said.

Derek was helping me walk, when we feel footsteps approaching, it sound like two people running towards us. Seconds later they were in front of us I recognize Derek's brother and a girl which I didn't remembered her name. Derek looked relieved to see his brother.

-Guys, can anyone explain what going on? Where were you? - Drake asks.

-We don't know Drake, we have been hiding and we found a pattern on the lights, we must go to the front door and get out - Ethan said.

-Guys, that's not going to work, everything is closed - the girl said with a little voice.

-All this is out of control, it looks like a damn horror movie - Derek said pushing the wall.

-Alice, where is mark? - Ness asks, so that was her name 'Alice'.

-I don't know, I haven't seen him, some minutes ago there was something with us in the hallway but we couldn't see anything - Alice said.

-Kraven - Harry said in a whisper, even when her sister disappear, he wasn't mad, he was just nervous.

Everyone look at him but he didn't said anything else, he had to know what was going on.

-Guys, even if we made it to the front door, we can't get out, if the doors are closed is because the security system was activated - Harry said.

-And what we can do? - A desperate Alice asks.

-The only door out of the system is in the basement, my parents installed there in a case of emergency three years ago - He said.

-Harry and where are your parents? - I said very curious.

-I don't know, maybe they are traveling. They always go and don't say anything - Harry said.

-Harry what was that appeared behind Lilith? - Ness asks.

-Is very complicated and we must move - Harry said while the lights began to flash.

I couldn't move quickly, Derek was at my side helping me, the boys started to run and all remained dark again.

I felt Derek's breathe beside me, we were still in the hallway, I heard a door open and I assumed the boys were gone; Derek pulled me abruptly and walked into one of the doors.

I took my phone and shine a little, it was a bathroom, my feet hurt like hell, and my only consolation was that Derek was here.

-Does it hurt too much? - Derek ask, He came up to me taking my foot, I couldn't see how close he was.

- A little, thanks for helping me - I didn't understand how I wasn't crying and panicking, any girl would.

We were there for five minutes, Derek hugged me the whole time, the light turned on, we got up and we saw the bathroom, it was a horrible scene, I let out a scream.

In the tub there was a body that hadn't eyeballs; his mouth was open and his tongue was cut, I hid my face in Derek's chest.

- Crap, it's Mark - Derek said.

The door opened and the boys entered viewing the scene, Ethan seemed out of sorts, I began to feel very scared; tears started rolling down my face.

Derek just looked at me, kissed my forehead and hugged me stronger, we left the bathroom, in the end we had the time counted only 10 minutes of light and we needed to get to the basement and it wouldn't be easy.

I walked slow and Derek too, but Ness and Ethan were far behind, I could see after a few minutes of walking down the hall on the second floor, Ness stood in front of Ethan and she shouted at him.

Derek kept helping me walk, when I turned back I realize that I couldn't see Ness and Ethan and I began to worry.

- Derek, where are Ness and Ethan? - I said.

- Damn! - He said looking back.

Then the lights began to flicker, Derek and I went to the first door we saw, and seconds later we were absorbed by the darkness.
