Tainted souls

It comes

"Amy. Look."

She refused to look and she shook her head no in protest.

"Come on. Look. You'll see."

"No! Leave me alone."

Alex started laughing and Amy just hoped that he would go away. But she could still hear his laugh in the room. She was too scared to open her eyes in fear of what he said earlier. I'll show you what im really am. 

All she could do was wait. Wait for him to get bored and leave her alone. She would rather hear the deafening deafening sound of the scratching than Alex. Anything but Alex.

She felt a hand on her cheek and slowly move up her face until it gripped her hair tightly. Then Alex whispered in her ear,

"I would highly suggest that you would open your eyes and look at me. Or you could just keep your eyes shut and let you face the consequences of your decision. It's your choice. Choose wisely."

Amy cried and couldn't bring herself to look.

"God dammit!"

She heard Alex yell in frustration. Oh no. What is he going to do... Amy thought.

"I guess I have to take care of business elsewhere. Hey Amy?"

"W-What?" Amy cried.

"You better watch your back if I were you. You'll need it. The next time we meet...you better be prepared."

She heard the door open and then close. Followed by the sound of footsteps. She waited for what seemed like several minutes and then opened her eyes slowly and removed her hands from her ears. She saw that he was gone and so was the sound.

But it wasn't quiet.

The sound of footsteps filled the room for a few seconds and then vanished.

Phew. I'm glad he's out of here but I hope that he isn't nearby...Ew. What is that? 

She felt something slimy drip on her head and she put her hand up and touched it. Amy looked at her hand to see that the substance was clear, liquidly, and felt slimy. This made her shiver with disgust.

She looked up to see what it could be and where it was comming from. And she was shocked to her core from what she saw.

A pair of white glowing dots that stared down at her blinking. And the substance was dripping from the air vent the thing was in.

The air vent started to shake violently with the sound of the creature roaring as it tried to free itself from the air vent.

Amy shot up from the bed and ran for the door. She had her hand on the door knob and her hand shook with fear and anticipation for what was to come. And she watched the air vent and never took her eyes off of it so that she wouldn't be caught off guard and know exactly when to bolt out of there.

She slowly turned the door knob and opened the door a little leaving it ajar.

You could hear the heavy breathing of that thing as it echoed through the air vent.

The air vent lid finally gave in and plopped on the bed with a soft thud. Amy watched as she saw long sharp claws come from the air vent and grip into the outside on the side air vent and dig it's claws into the ceiling. 

At this point Amy flew open the door and slammed it behind her as she ran through the corridors not daring to look behind her.

Suddenly someone grabbed her and covered her mouth so that she couldn't yell. And she tried to struggle but the person had a hold of her with their other hand.
