Alone at The Asylum

New Plan

"Ben, that was you? Why did you do that?!" I yell at the slightly transparent young man.

"Because I told you to never go down there!"

"Why?! What is down there? Why are you so worried?"

" BECAUSE THAT THING WILL  KILL YOU LIKE IT KILLED ME!!!"

"Killed you? That's how you died? I thought it was the zapping handles, why didn't you tell me?"

" I didn't want you to get hurt. And me being the way I am, the thing still has the ability to hurt me again. It can kill me again I've seen it with Abby. That's why she's not here anymore. How does the dead, die? I won't be able to protect you if we were down there. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner I just don't want you to be like this..." Ben seeps' down to the floor with sadness in his voice.

"It's Ok Ben. Thank you for getting us out of there. We were trying to see if we can go to the control room to see if we can move the bars. But I guess we can't now." Twix pitches in after her silence.

"Wait Ben aren't you like a poltergeist? Can't you break the bars?” Ben looks and Twix and chuckles.

"Oh, if I was, I would have been done that by now. I don't know what I am. In order for me to be a poltergeist I have to go to hell but I haven't been able to go anywhere, something is keeping me here."

"Well there has got to be some way. Ulysses can't stay in here any longer... Wait... Ben? Can that, thing, hurt me?" Ben looks at Twix confused but then lights up.

"No, no it can't. Oh Twix you're a genius. You're an animal. Creatures like that can interact with animals. I don't know what it is, something worse than a demon, but they can't do anything to you. You have to do this, it's up to you."

"Okay wait. I'm a rat. A pretty small one too, I can't do anything."

" You can get a cat. I know that dark creatures like this hate cats."

"Ok I'll get a cat but what for? Are we gonna try to get out that way?"

"It's the only way. The controls room is dead. The only thing on are the lights and that's because of the automatic emergency generator that runs on the power pole behind the building." I sigh and turn to Ben.

" You tell us this now Ben." He shrug his shoulders.

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Okay, since there is still a lot more day time, Twix, you should go and get a cat, get more than one. And when you come back we will be on our way. Try to go through the front and remember the route." Twix runs off.

" You got it, Ulysees!" I nod and turn to Ben.

"Hopefully, this works."

It has been a pretty long time since I updated this. I thing shortish chapters like this is a good way to go. I have more inspiration for it. I will be updating more now. Bye bye.
