The Surprise

When Aura was taken, she followed the figure up a set of stairs and asked it:

"Why am I here?" Aura received no reply, but just a sigh.

Finally, the figure answer by saying: "I thought that you were smart. You should've figured out who I was already."

Aura was more confused than before by this answer. She couldn't remember anyone who would have wanted to do this to her, neither why someone would do this.

* * *

When they arrived at their final destination, it told her to enter this room. Aura reluctantly entered and the second that she entered, the door sealed.

* * *

Alexa, still pondering the thought of who this person could be, didn't notice as the wall opened and let the figure through again, but this time without Alexa. Although she didn't care much about Aura at all, she was worried that the same thing might happen to her and so she asked it: "Where is Aura?" she received no answer and so she asked again but this time with more force. "Where is Aura?" still without an answer, Alexa yelled: "WHERE IS AURA?" *she paused* "ANSWER ME!" The figure finally answered: "In a room.". Clearly not satisfied with this answer, she asked again: "Is Aura alive?". The figure replied: "Of course, I still need her for something, just like you, dear Alexa..."

Alexa afraid as to what it will do now, tried to find another wall that opens as the figure moved closer and closer to her. Alexa couldn't find anything by the time she was taken by the figure. The last thing that she remembered was falling to the ground with something placed into her mouth with an icy cold hand.

* * *

Aura tried to convince herself to not be afraid of this character because if it wanted to kill her, it would have done so already. Sadly, in this case, she wasn't much of an optimist, but in fact was a pessimist and started to think of everything that could go wrong.

* * *

In a minute, Alexa was brought into the same room with handcuffs and a gag in her mouth. Aura immediately ran towards the door from which Alexa entered, and although she resented Alexa, she was worried that whatever was done with Alexa would happen to her. Aura took out Alexa's gag and then asked Alexa a few questions.

"Are you alright?" asked Aura

C-C-Cold. T-T-T-Too C-C-Cold..." managed Alexa

"What happened?" asked Aura

"C-co-ld..." whispered Alexa

"I noticed. You keep on saying that. Seriously though, what the heck happened to you?" asked Alexa

"He- she- IT took me. I don't know what happened to me...but the minute it let me out...I was freezing...and although I am not as cold as I was a few moments ago, I think I still have a frostbite or something like that." replied Aura

"Umm. Ok. This is not much to go on, but it is something. So we know that it doesn't like us for some reason clearly otherwise we wouldn't be here.. We know that it uses something that is cold against us. And now I know that you were not the one who brought me here."

"Thanks a lot 'Captain Obvious'."

"Hey! I am more helpful than you. And anyways, who was the person who actually got hurt during our last bickering? Huh? Oh, that is right it was you. YOU were the one hurt. Not me, but you. And I am willing to fight back with anything if necessary."

"I don't care at this point. We are stuck here until it decides to free us."

* * *

"Where is Alexa?!" thought Taylor. "I thought I told her to meet me here at 4:00 sharp. She even texted me that she is here!"

"Why hello Taylor" said a distorted voice

"Huh? Who and where are you. Alexa this is not a funny prank!"
"Come closer..." said the same distorted voice

"ALEXA!" yelled Taylor

"She isn't coming to you. You are the one coming to her."

* * *

Before Taylor knew it, he had a black bag covering his face and a gag in his mouth. One thing that he managed to notice before passing out from fear was that he was driven away in familiar blue tinted car. Although the gag didn't make Taylor pass out, he still passed out from fear.

* * *

Two angry female voices woke him up: "Stop it! That's my hair!"

"Oh. Wow I wouldn't have been able to tell this apart from a bush. Sorry." said the second female voice without any sympathy

"STOP IT! I SWEAR TO GOD WHEN W- I GET OUT OF HERE, I WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THE SAME EXACT PAIN YOU ARE MAKING ME FEEL!" promised the first female voice

"What are you going to do now, huh? Fight back with what?

"YOU-!"

Taylor started to hear one of the females struggle and finally got the courage to yell to them to stop fighting.

"Stop fighting!"

Immediately the voices and the struggling halted and he heard nothing except for silence.

"Who are you?" shakily asked Taylor

"Really? We are all trapped inside of this Hell Hole and that is your first question?" asked Alexa.

"Ale-" Aura stopped herself before she continued hoping that she didn't give this stranger Alexa's name away.

"What did you just call me?! I have never and will never be called that! You hear me!"

"I am literally a foot away from you; thus, I can clearly hear you yelling into my damn ear!"

"OH I'M SORRY. IS THIS TOO LOUD FOR YOU?!" yelled Alexa at the top of her lungs

"Something seems so familiar about these two voices..." thought Taylor

"Oh my God! Stop yelling you are going to scare our only ticket out of here away!"

"Who? This loser who asked a stupid question about who we were instead of: "Where am I?"?! Asked Alexa.

"Oh come on, give him a break he was just knocked out and he just woke up."

Suddenly, Taylor hear a banging coming from one of my walls. Taylor originally thought that maybe this was some sort of passcode, but nothing significant happened. A few moments later, the whole wall disintegrated and left nothing but rubble on the floor.

"Come here Taylor. Don't be shy." said a distorted voice

Immediately after this mysterious figure said this, the girls where in disgust at the fact that I was trapped in here with them as if they knew who I was and found me extremely repulsive. Although one female seemed more worried than anything, they both were not happy with him being here.

"N-n-n-no..." replied Taylor

"'No?' You are going to say 'No' to me?!" it took a deep sigh and continued "Do not resist, you will only make it worse. Come and this will be over before you know it." replied the distorted voice in an oddly soothing manner. Taylor reluctantly obeyed and followed the mysterious figure up a series of stairs and corridors to the point where Taylor forgot where he has been and where he hasn't.

* * *

Eventually, after walking for a very long time up and down stairs, through hallways, rooms and other things that cannot even be described in words, Taylor was led into a room where there were two things: a chair and a table with needles.

"Sit down." said the distorted voice

Taylor sat down and immediately his eyes started to desire to close and his body became limp. Before he passed out, he noticed the black cloaked figure start to take off its hood, but before he could see it, the lightly completely faded away and all that he could now see was pitch black.
