Bond Of The Twisted Souls

Somethings Wrong

        It was the middle of the night when I got scared abruptly from my sleep. I look over at the clock reading 3am. Hearing screams at three in the morning. Is never a good thing. Connie springs up from her bed. Looking over at me, I tell her with a simple gesture to stay in bed. I slide out of my bed quietly. Reaching for the doorknob hearing the screams getting more and more amplified.

Slowly, I unlock my door. Twisting the gold knob. Opening it just a crack to peek out of. A girl I saw before at the presentable test they had us to. The day before, who wore this amazing purple glittery dress? Looking around frantically, she looked scared out of her mind. Checking everywhere, she was walking.

Even the dark hard to see places. Why is she checking the dark crevices of the hallway? Her black hair was a huge mess. She looked like any minute she was about to lose her mind. Suddenly I hear a stair creak from behind her. Connie throws a pillow at me. I look down at the pillow then back at her mouthing 'come here'

                Connie tip toes over to me quietly. She gets on her knees on the white carpet. Peaking out the door from under me. The girl stopping in her tracks. Frozen in fear at what's behind her. Connie whispers softly, "that's Stacey. What is she doing?" I shrug, continuing to watch as Stacey was just shaken with fear. Stacey looks over at us. She looked petrified.

Should I help her? Whatever is going on, she needs someone to knock her out of it. I whisper, calling out "Stacey! Come here" gesturing her to hurry. She nods, looking around her alarmedly. As she runs over to us.

She looks at us from our peeked door. "listen to me. You guys need to run. You need to..." We hear footsteps coming up behind her. She looks so terrified her face, and her eyes look so distraught. She turns to us, her back toward the stairs, whispering to us in an urgent tone, "Run..." 

      Suddenly, Stacey gets pulled away from our door. With such force into the darkness. Connie and I jump, gasping. We hear her screams become more drastic by the second. Hearing a growl. Then nothing, just silence. The growl gets closer to our door. Connie and I rush to shut it, slamming it. Connie, panicking, whispering "hurry lock it, lock it!"

I lock it with my back against the door. Seeing someone's shadow at the crack of the door. Someone banging on her wooden door so hard it vibrates off my back. I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. Putting my hand on my heart. I rush to my bed and Connie jumps over in my bed. As we stare terrified at our door. The ponding continues until the clock chimes loudly echoing throughout the palace.

I look over at the clock reading four in the morning. Connie latches onto me, whispering, "what the fuck was that?!" I shake my head, breathing heavily frightened out of my mind "I-I don't know whatever it was. It got Stacey" 

         Now I know something is dreadfully wrong here. What was that thing? Did the vampires let out some beast to feed on us? Were we just brought here as a laugh to be fed to their pet?! All these assumptions circle in my head like a spinning top. It was at this moment I knew I needed to watch my back.

Cause nothing, not even my room, is a safe place for me. At night in this palace is feeding time for something. We don't know what that something is. But it's strong. I know it probably won't stop till all of us humans are dead. I am just saying these things in my head. Thinking why? Why would they be a beast in this palace? Nothing adds up to me. Nothing makes sense.
