horror stories for teens

New: Poppy

Back to Catalina:

I walked the halls bored and lost. I completely forgot where to go or where I was going but I didn't forget why I was going.

I had to find those keys.

Approaching a new hall way I stayed on watch of everything I did so I wouldn't walk into a security guard and get caught. Suddenly a door was shot wide open in front of me, swinging into my face but something in my mind made my reflexes pull me back so I wouldn't break my nose or worse. "Who the hell are you!?" A security guard waltzed up to me and readied his handcuffs.

'Shit! Shit! Shiiiiit!'

I knew I couldn't run- If I did the whole place would go on lock down and this security guard would call for back up and have me shot down for sure. "Let it out..." A voice echoed in my head again, 'no...I can't fight him...I'm to weak...'

"Let yourself go..."

Static filled my ears, and I suddenly remembered Poppy, my family, and that girl trapped in that room. Tori is counting on me to save her. Yea this isn't a movie where I know I come on top and save the damsel in distress but I still want to help and win.

"I want to win..." I felt myself whisper and the security guard reached one hand out to me, and the other towards his radio. 'nonononooo-'

"Come on now- as long as you cooperate I won't hurt you-" Without thinking I cut him off with a sudden boost in strength. I swung my fist into his face and he flung back into the ground. 'd-did I really just do that!?' He lifted his hands to his face and I realized I needed to knock him out.

Looking around I noticed a few items near by such as a potted plant, so I kicked the plant into him which hit his leg, 'crap.' He tried to stand up and went for his gun 'oh helll no-' I went at him, pulling him up from under his upper arms, so like I dragged him from his armpits, into the room he came out of. I only meant to drag him, but something came over me and I threw him into the room, "Son of a-" He began to curse at me and I closed the door, then slammed my foot into his face. I kept kicking until he stopped moving. Then I realized what I had done...

"Oh god sir! Sir you're not dead are you? wait how would you answer that, you knocked out..." I was talking to myself for a bit, then once I calmed down I went to check for a pulse, "Where am I supposed to check again? dam that half year of health really was important, and I didn't pay attention to jack shit." I decided to just put my ear to his chest and there I heard it, a very slow and weak heartbeat, "Oh thank the lords"

The security guard's face was beat up and his nose was even bleeding, I had no idea I had such strength. I looked down at my hands, the one I used to hit the man had blood on it and my knuckles were bruised, Then I looked at my foot, the one I used to kick his face in, it had scabs and blood on it. My face scrunched up in disgust and I tried to ignore the feeling like I might of... enjoyed what it felt like to- 'wait...why the hell am I thinking such things!'

The room began to fill with the smell of blood and I wanted to throw up. I was going to leave the room, till I realized I could take something from the guard. So snatching the gun, cuffs, taser, and cutting the cord for the radio; I got ready to leave the room. I went for the door and noticed something, hanging on the wall next to the door was a stash of keys. "Yes!" I took the keys off the wall and bolted out the room feeling successful. 

feeling lost I tried to remember where to go to get back to Tori's room but I just couldn't find it. I kept going till I realized I had gone right back where I started. I was back at the room I was staying in. I was just going to turn away till I noticed something was different about it than when I left it. The window was wide open, and looked broken from the outside...
