"You think your phone might work" Lauren spoke as she interlaced our hands

"I don't know"

"We g-gotta k-keep moving" I squeezed her hand in comfort

I slightly stammered, we both started moving, the hallway was quiet long and we couldn't see much so I grabbed a flashlight from my little bag and handed it to Lauren she took it with trembling hands. I took the flashlight back from her hands since she looked like she was gonna drop it anyway.

Shhhh~

I looked at Lauren and asked

"D-did you hear t-that"

Lauren looked over at me and shook her head

"You d-didn't"

"Lets leave this place is creepy as hell, let's see if we can break that doo-" Lauren beagle to speak loudly but was rudely cut off

Your supposed to be quiet in the hallways~

It spoke again in a sing song voice, I bet Lauren definitely herd it this time.

" if this is s-supposed to be a j-joke f-from the guys I'm not f-falling for it" my realistic side spoke

Thud thud thud thud

It sounds like someone was running

"L-Lauren it's just the guys playing on us, n-now that they are busted they are running a-away" I said as I crossed my arms

I was trying to believe my own words as realistic as it sounds but I don't believe it I'm not sure why. Maybe because I'm a scaredy cat when I'm all alone, but I'm not alone I got Lauren, so no need to be afraid right

As I was about to say something

A loud scream ran through the dark hallways. It was not a familiar scream it was different.

"Y-You all heard t-that" right I said slightly shivering. Now I was afraid very afraid

I reached over to grab Lauren's hand but. I looked at the side to see nothing I gasp and drop on the floor clutching my heart I dropped the flashlight and looked around the room panting loudly, I start to laugh

"This is the worst joke e-ever g-guys you k-know I get scared very q-uickly"

I looked around unconvinced by my own words. The long hallway was lit by only one lamp on the wall to her. I look at the light and sob a little helpless

"June y-you now your strong d-don't let them f-f-fool you" I said to my self

I work up all my energy and stood up and as soon I did. I saw light on the end of the hallway it was more like a camera flash I felt slightly relived as I worked my way toward the flash

I sighed relieved "If you guys are trying to scare me well mission accomplished let's just go home I don't wanna stay here anymore" I said walking the corner as I acted brave again

I stood there trembling with fear at the sight I swear I could have fainted but I was wide eyes staring at the horrific sight

Lauren was hanging off the roof on a rope around her neck with blood dripping down her forehead, the blood slowly drip down her shoulder then slowly down her arms to the floor, the blood pooled down on the floor looking so red and crystal it looked like a candy

Flash I looked at my right to see a camera on a stand. I slowly move towards the camera and placed my hand on it, my hand was trembling so much when I took the camera I thought it would drop. It was one of those cameras with the pictures coming out the bottom. it was a old camera so I was expecting it to be black and white

I looked at the picture that came out of the camera it was slightly white but it cleared quickly, it was not just Lauren on the roof but someone else there was also a white smug on it I leaned on it to wipe it away but I looked closer and it was.... a .... face

I was shaking vigorously now as I placed the camera back on the stand. This was not what I was expecting when I came here, not at all. I slowly walk over towards Lauren's dead body that hung over the roof. I dropped on my knees as my eyes slightly blurred. I looked up at the life less body. I felt something warm run down my face and now I was full on crying, I felt scared, alone and my body was limp on the floor.

I looked down at the pool of blood that was collected on the ground the clear blood was now slightly dirty I widened my eyes as I moved closer. The dirt began moving in an unnatural way as they slowly made words

Look up

I looked up back at the camera and

flash

I stood up wobbly and ran back to the camera, I took the camera again and another picture came out, this one was completely black. I placed the camera on the stand and slowly walked back to the pool of blood on the floor not taking my eyes of the picture.

Still black.

"What the hell is this it is? It's completely black, this is completely worthless" I said to nobody in return

I grabbed the first picture only to see that there was no longer a face on it. I gasped as I dropped both pictures. One land on the floor and the other land on the pool of blood, I grabbed the picture that fell in the blood and shook it getting all the blood off. I couldn't care less about the fact that blood was now everywhere on me.

This stupid little piece of paper seemed more important to me that any thing at the moment. I looked at the picture in slight disgust. I widened my eyes as the picture was no longer black I abruptly stood up, it was a picture of a room it must be from the hospital cause it looks like it was.

I looked back at the life less body one more time before walking out. Before I know it I'm crying, I wipe my face with my hand not caring about the blood that covers it.

I walked out the room to be met with another cold dark room it had no light whatsoever it it. The middle of the room had a chair in it and on top of it hanging from the roof was some kind of equipment. It was like a large metal saucer with little tube things coming out of it. It looked like some sort of jellyfish.

I walked around the weird machine to its controls and pressed the on switch but it didn't work, like it would. I slowly dragged my fingers on the little buttons and things, but soon I pulled my attention away from the buttons but to what's written on top of the machine. It was slightly dirty so I wiped it away

"Execution machine"
