Bloody Darkness

A Friend

Katy

I felt an incredible pain in the back of my head, I try with all my strength to open my eyes but my eyelids were heavy and couldn't do it, suddenly I felt something move near me.

- Katy.... - Someone call me in a whisper, I kept trying to open my eyes but it was in vain.

My body felt numb, the pain in my foot moments ago was foolish comparing to the horrible pain in my head.

- Katy ... - Someone call me again with a little more emphasis.

I finally manage to open my eyes but everything was dark, there were many old things piled up and a lot of dust.

- Katy are you alright? - a voice that I recognized said, I try to locate the voice and it was Derek next to me

- I think so... what happened? Where are we? - I said.

- I'm not sure ... - He said ... A little sore?.

- Derek are you okay? - I said as I put myself in front of him and looked into his eyes.

- Yes, don't worry ... just ... - He said.

I looked down searching a wound signal, and I saw his hand ... his knuckles were bleeding and it was a total disaster.

- What did you do? - I said as i took his hand and he made a sound of pain.

- Is just that... when the doll was in front of us i put you behind me ... and I did the first thing that came to mind.. I knock him which wasn't very prudent as stamp me and pushed me against a door - he said and I saw a few drops of blood down his neck - then I couldn't do anything and I felt like something was crawling me and I pass out ... and here we are.

I approached him and inspect where the blood came, he had a wound in his head and he was bleeding, he looked weak...

- Relax ... Can you move? - I asked him.

- I really don't know - He said wearily.

I help him to get up and I move his arm around my shoulders, we were so tired. This place was big but full of old stuff; there were some bikes, wardrobes, chests and many things.

- I think we're in the basement Katy.... - Derek said whispering ... I didn't understand why he was whispering, there wasn't a soul besides us.

- It looks like ... - I said - why are you whispering?.

- It's best not to draw attention - he said.

We walked with difficulty but this was impossible it was too big, we came to what it looked like a door and open it.

Two bodies fell to the ground, a woman and a man, they were adults ... but I didn't know who they were, Derek looked at them with horror and he was very pale.

- Derek! Are you alright? - I said without realizing I was screaming.

- They are ... - he said, but he was interrupted by a giggle.

We turn while our hearts tried to escape from our chest, Lilith was standing there as before ... but happy?

- Hey guys ... You look terrible - she said smiling, particularly I was scared by her smile - Ohh... I see you have found my parents, it's fun? - she asked tilting her head and smiling more broadly.

She moved closer to us and instinctively recoiled, Derek was still leaning to me... Lilith look at us and the smile that she had seconds before it was erased.

- I'll tell you a story ... and I think you're gonna liked - she said as she gave a short step to us - there was a little girl who had a new friend ... her parents didn't want her friend and took her by crazy .... They did something very very bad ...they enclosed the little friend. - She said pretending to be shocked and took another small step to us.

- But... those wicked parents didn't know that over the years this child grew up and she steal the key to the prison of her friend ... - She was getting closer to us - Every night she went to visit him, she felt happy and joyful, but she always had to leave him alone... Again...so her parents didn't took her to an asylum.

She was about two steps away from us and she had begun to smile? God ... her smile was creepy; my whole body trembled a little bit with the tone of her voice.

- She stroke the plan to get rid of what kept her away from her friend, everything went as she wanted, the hindrance was removed - She look without any remorse to the bodies that were on the floor - but the fool of her brother had organized a party, people began to arrive and she remembered that she forgot to lock the door key and her friend wasn't happy to be locked up, when she set up to the third floor two girls stopped her asking her for directions to where the bathroom was.

She was a step away from us and we couldn't retreat, i had an incredible desire to get out of here.

- When she got to the third floor it was late, the door was open, there was no turning back - she smiled happily.

- Lilith ... you ... this was you? - Derek said.

I look at Derek, his neck had more blood from his head, this wasn't going well, he was very pale and his eyes were empty.

- Isn't fun? - she said very happy and bouncing in front of us, when she stayed serious, she retreated ... and began to hum a tune .. something that chilled my soul.

- Isn't nice? It doesn't have lyrics... but doesn't need it - Lilith said - Kraven teach it to me.

I felt my body was crying out, my instincts told me that if I didn't move I would die and Derek too, he was very weak and every second felt like he was losing his strength.

My heart stopped when It was a head of us "Kraven" ...he had no face it was only a wooden mannequin, ignoring the part where he was a murderer and was stained with blood.

- Kraven.... Easy - Lilith said taking it from what you might call hand.

Then Derek fell to the ground next to me, he was sweating and was very pale, he had lost a lot of blood and the heat down here doesn't help.

- Kraven finish with this - I heard as Lilith said with annoyance in her voice.

I saw Kraven quickly moved his right arm and headed straight to Derek, I could only hug Derek and close my eyes, I scream and felt how Derek moved quickly, then I heard a sound of breaking wood and I opened my eyes.

Derek held a piece of wood, which was crossed by Kraven's arm; he was very close to Derek's face.

- Come - Lilith said and Kraven soon was beside her, she smiled.

I looked back at Derek and he fainted in my arms, now what I'm going to do, then I heard voices and footsteps, I could only hear a Lilith! And a small voice said, Mom? Dad?

I hugged Derek tightly and whispered in his ear.

- We'll get out ... - as a tear slid down my cheek.

- Katy! Derek - Ness's voice said.

- Derek ... Is not okay ... - it was all I could say as I began to cry inconsolably.
