Bloody Darkness

Locked

Vanessa

I was in shock, Derek and Katy were gone and I still had Jake in my arms. Suddenly I saw Alice, Drake and Harry ran towards us, Harry started yelling at Jake for not being with their parents, while Drake asked Ethan what happened to his brother.

- There's something in this house it took Derek and Katy - Ethan said.

We started walking while the lights were still on. Alice began to tell us the story of Harry, as she spoke, everything was fitting, that photo and drawing that Katy showed us, it all matched but we still didn't understand why Lilith was doing all this, we also told them what happened before Derek and Katy disappear, Alice looked very scared, She constantly repeated that she couldn't imagine Lilith like that.

The lights began to flicker, and then from the end of the hall went out one by one, with each light left, a shadow appeared, we got scared and started to run, but the faster we ran, the faster the lights went out, we were still in the hall when everything went black.

We walked into the nearest room and stayed there for a few minutes, I was leaning against the door and I could hear as across the door strange things happened, there were little screams, something hitting against wood and a strange very dark laugh, that was what most scared me, it seemed to be a girl but how someone could laugh with all that was going on? Suddenly I heard how that laughter was getting closer to the room we were in, I began to sob and Ethan was trying to calm me down in silence. When the laughter came across the door, I couldn't breathe, I only expected that she didn't enter, I listened how the laughter stopped to say a word: "Kraven". But sudden a scream was heard and it made this girl distracted looking for that sound, I knew someone would die, but at the same time I was relieved that it wasn't any of us.

The light turn on and we could see we were in the library, we were about to leave when the door locked and everything started to shake, the books started falling off the shelves and the lights started to flash, we tried harder to open the door but it didn't opened, suddenly something fell, it was a body in the middle of the room, a boy, he was still alive, we could heard his complaints of pain, he was bleeding, we got closer to help, but when we were 5 steps away, we saw how each of the books fell around him, to finish buried beneath the huge shelf, we couldn't help him, we didn't hear him and we assume that by the punch he had stopped breathing.

The light normalized, we opened the door and walked out into the hall, we approached slowly to the stairs because the closer we get we could see pools of blood, I don't wanted to go through here but it's the only way out, we walked very carefully not to fall but on the first second I put my feet on the stairs and fell slipping me sitting in one of the pools, I started to sob again, this wasn't even my blood, Ethan helped me to get up and to finish down the stairs.

When we were finally on the ground floor, the light wasn't at its peak, it was difficult to see what was ahead of us, I collided with anything in my way, so I took Ethan's hand because if not I'll fell all the time, we started exploring the room, despite the lack of light we could notice all the beautiful details in white now had this scarlet red liquid, it was a disaster, we knew there was a lot of dead people but the bodies were disappearing, and the only thing left was traces of blood.

Harry was carrying Jake, trying to comfort him, as he hadn't stopped crying and he was still trying to find his way to the basement, but with the lights so low it was difficult. We got to the kitchen and start looking for headlights, we found some emergency headlights but the batteries were exhausted, we heard a small noise and headed towards it, we walked into the lunch room and it was dark but we could hear as the door closed and when I approached to open, it had no handle, great now we are locked, Alice desperately started walking around the large table, I went behind her trying to calm each other.

- And now what we can do? - Ethan wonder mad, the truth is that we were all on edge.

- Harry how do we get out of here? - Drake asked.

- I don't know, this door wasn't broken, try to find something to break it - Harry suggested.

We began to review the entire room, I found a hammer with which Drake hit the port until he break it, we left the room and head it to the basement, we had to go without distractions.

We went down the stairs to a small hallway where the basement as Harry was, we heard a loud scream and approached, opened the door and entered.
