🐾The Room 👻

Rosé felt her Heart break when she saw her crush asking another girl out. She has been crushing on him ever since middle school, she was always there for him and pretty much everyone knew about her love.

"Rosé, please stop crying. I'm sure you'll find someone else"

Her best friend, Lisa said trying to make her feel better. Jisoo and Jennie looked at her with pity, they felt bad for her.
"I-i need some time a-alone"

Rosé managed to form the sentence in between her soft sobs. The girls nodded slightly as Rosé got up and walked to an empty classroom.

It was their last day at school as tomorrow was their summer break of two months.
Rosé sat on a chair and covered her face with her hands, pouring her heart out and crying heavy tears.

After few minutes, she felt slightly better. She wiped her tears and now, she felt numb. She just stared at a wall, her mind full of thoughts

Do I deserve this?
Was he really worth my time?
Worth my tears?

She thought about the words of Lisa. At the end, she came to the conclusion that she deserves someone better and she shouldn't cry over someone who doesn't care about her.

She slowly got up, ready to leave the room and go to her besties as school was almost over.

Just as she was about to walk out, the door closed on its own. She raised her eyebrow in confusion

"maybe it's the wind"

She said to herself and shrugged before grabbing the door knob and twisting it, but no use. The door didn't open, she was locked in this small room.

She felt nervous and scared, she tried to open it multiple times but it didn't even budge. She ran towards the window and started kicking on it violently, she cried for help, students passed by the room but they didn't look at her, not even a glance, it felt like as if they couldn't even see the room.

Rosé kept banging on the door and the window, she tried to open the window but it didn't move at all, worse than being jammed.

It was already time to leave, students were biding their goodbyes to their fellow classmates and teachers, some had already left the school.

Rosé's vision got blury due to her tears but she still figured out that the three girls walking towards the room were her best friends.

"LISA! CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

she yelled at the top of her lungs while banging on the window. Lisa didn't even look at her.

"j-jennie! JENNIE?"

Rosé's voice cracked as she slowly stared loosing hope. Jennie looked worried and confused, it looked like as If they were looking at for her.
All three of them stopped right beside the window of the room. Rosé could hear them clearly.

"where is she? Did she already left?" jennie said while trying to call Rosé on her phone.

"she can't just leave us like this, can she?" Lisa asked in disbelief as she kept looking at Jennie's phone screen, hoping for Rosé to pick up the calls.

"she didn't even gave us a hug. She isn't picking our calls up either. I hope she's okay" jisoo said like an anxious mother.

Rosé's tear streamed down her cheeks. Her phone was in her bag which she left on the bench.

"i-im right h-here!"

She banged on the window one last time before giving up as she watched the girls hugging each other and leaving.

"they left"

She slowly sat on the chair and kept hoping that its just a nightmare. She looked at the window and noticed a weird red hand print forming on it. Rosé was visibly confused. The red handprint slowly disappeared from the window and was now on the wall. Rosé followed the hand print by her stare as the red mark slowly made its way on the ceiling and stopped when Rosé's eyes came in contact with the sight of woman attached to the ceiling like a spider.

She had light green skin colour and long rough wavy brown hairs. Her upper part of the body was like a normal female, just covered in red piece of cloth but her lower part of the body was like a spider. She had total of eight legs coming out of her. Four on the left and four on the right, the legs were exact replica of spider's leg. Black hairs on them with yellow strips. Although her body was ugly, her face was very beautiful. Her face was like a dream girl, extremely attractive.

"w-who are you?"

Rosé stuttered out, her legs shaking as she was afraid of the sight in front of her.

"I am the room."

The woman said in a calming voice, it sounded like a very decent female in her mid 20's

"t-the r-room?"

"Yes, the room. The soul of this small space. You might have not noticed yet but this room is not a part of your education institute."

Rosé looked around the room and realized that what that woman said was true. She never saw this room here before, it wasn't a part of her school.

"then why am I here?"

Rosé asked, trying to stay calm.

"Not everyone can see this room, it's only visible to few special people."

"few special people?"
"Yes.."

The lady leaned closer to Rosé's angelic face. She slowly took off her face, which was supposed to be a mask, and revealed her disgusting looking face.

She had six red eyes, aligned in the form of two rows, three columns. Her mouth was big, her lips were red and when she opened her mouth, two long fangs were visible. Her mouth was just like a spider's.

"The people who I feed on"

Hearing those words gave Rosé the chills. Her lips parted but nothing came out of her mouth, not even a scream.

-

The door slowly opened, no one in the room, no sign of Rosé, no sign of a spider woman.

"I never saw this room before"

A young guy said as he walked inside the room, the door closing behind him...

Boo- I have no motivation :)
