"Ding dong
I know you can hear me
Open up the door
I only want to play a little"
Your heart threatened to leap out of your chest. No matter how many times Zack forced you to play this sickening game of cat and mouse with him, you could never get used to the fear that followed with it. At any given moment, he could easily choose to cease your psychological torture and take your life instead. You were never safe in the presence of this twisted man who longed for nothing more than your never-ending suffering.
"Ding dong
You can't keep me waiting
It's already too late
For you to try and run away"
You kept your back plastered to the wall behind you as you hid inside one of the many buildings on Zack's floor. You heard footsteps quickly approaching from outside along with maniacal laughter that sent shivers down your spine. You clapped your hand over your mouth, desperately trying to suppress your heavy breaths.
You couldn't let him catch you this quickly, you couldn't let him catch you...
"I see you, [name]," he called menacingly, temporarily paralyzing your body.
"I see you through the window
Our eyes are locked together
I can sense your horror
Though I'd like to see it closer"
Your heart skipped a beat the moment you locked eyes with his malicious, red hues through the cracked window. A devilish smirk rested his face, no doubt relishing in the fear practically emanating from you. It wasn't until he raised his blood scythe into view that you gained the courage once again to run.
You quickly scrambled towards the back exit before bursting out through the rusty door and taking a hard right. There was no map of this floor and even after weeks of being subjected to playing this cruel game of hide and seek, you still had failed to memorize the exact layout.
It was a giant maze that you were running blindly into.
"Ding dong
Here I come to find you
Hurry up and run
Let's play a little game and have fun"
His footsteps were heard closely behind you the whole time you ran. You knew all too well that he could easily catch up to you if he really wanted to, but the chase was far more fun for him. He was the predator hunting down his prey; he was at the very top of the food chain which was where he wanted to stay.
"You're gonna have to run faster than!" he laughed from an alarmingly close distance to you.
Suppressing the urge to cry out, you somehow managed to fasten your pace. Your legs like jello and you feared they would give out at any moment, but you kept running. It wasn't until his footsteps slowly started to fade that you allowed yourself to take a break once you turned the next corner.
