Power Down and Power Up?

Cory's POV

The darkness swallowed me like an envelope, cold and unforgiving. I forgot the sudden darkness though, when I heard the click. Along with the light the blackout had taken out the electric locks, leaving the door wide open as it swung slowly on its hinges.
I pushed it with my foot as it didn't quite make it all the way open, the dents in it causing it to scrape across the floor, small sparks lighting the dark around me. Once the gap was big enough to let me squeeze through I peeked out into the corridor, the small light given off by the camera like headset lighting up the few inches in front of me.

I stood there for a second confused at the quiet atmosphere, sure I had expected the silence for maybe the first five seconds, but chaos should have broken out by now. People should be screaming in there cells or making a break for it, nurses should be rushing around checking on everyone, but the halls were desolate and empty. Unnerved I stepped out into the hallway, glancing around. Taking a few steps forward, my hand brushing against the wall I kept my eye out for any sign of movement, painfully aware that there were dangerous things in the Asylum.

Tommy's POV

I tripped over my own feet as I rushed to the door, the darkness making it impossible to see. Excitedly I pushed the door open, it swung effortlessly, the force of my push causing it to make a loud thump as it slammed into the wall, the sound echoing down the hallway.
I paused for a few seconds, surprised at the quietness, I would have expected at least one person to make a noise in recognition of my loud commotion.
I let out a whistle as I glanced down the empty hall, maybe everyone else was too stupid to figure out you could open the doors.
Maybe I was the smart one for once. I chuckled to myself as I walked down the hall, looking around for some stairs or a help desk, anything that could help my chances of getting out of here.

I stopped, pausing for a moment, glancing around I heard something. It sounded like footsteps, they were approaching fast. A gaurd possibly? I pressed myself into the wall, hoping to avoid whoever was coming. Unfortunately they happened to be pressed to the wall as well.
In the dim light I could make out fiery red hair and blue eyes. The person bumped into me, stumbling back,
I went to apologise but before I could even utter a word the hallway was filled with a high pitched scream and I felt a slap stinging my cheek, sending my mask flying.

Ashley's POV

The person clamped their hand over my mouth, silencing me. His blond hair was ruffled and I could just make out a red handprint forming on his cheek. He looked at me confused
"Or hi as we used to say. Holy snails you're loud."

He was towering over me and I felt myself shrinking away until I heard something that filled my souls with dread. More footsteps were approaching, two pairs from behind me. I turned to look, shocked as someone walked right past me, pushing the blond back, his voice was deadly cold and without emotions,
"Don't touch her."

The blond raised his hands defensively, panick clear on his features even in the darkness,
"Me? Touch her? She slapped me!"
He glared at me pointedly, the boy that had pushed him turned to me, his glasses reflecting the dim light, I suddenly had an odd feeling of Déjà vu.

Nick's POV

I glanced at the girl, who glanced down guiltily, I nodded and stepped back from the blond.
"I apologise then, I'm Nick, that's Cory," I nodded to the boy with a Camera for a face, he had picked up what looked like a mask and handed it to the blond,
"Cool Cory if you will-"
I cut him off,
"I met him a few minutes before we heard the screaming,"
The blond refit his mask and held his hand out,
"Well I'm Tommy, pleased to meet you!"
"And I'm Ashley... sorry for slapping you Tommy, I panicked..."
Tommy laughed it off understanding the rash reaction,
"Well it's nice to meet you, Nick, Ashley and Carl-"
Cory glanced at him, his lense somehow portraying a glare. I glanced at the others, even in the dark hallway i had this weird feeling I had met them before, I opened my mouth to ask them if we had met, when I was stopped.
The hallway was suddenly filled with light as the reserve power kicked in.
