Elevator || Wattys 2015 ✔️

Chapter seventeen: Four Walls And A Roof.

Chapter seventeen: Four Walls And A Roof.

I lied on what I could call my couch in the living room of my new apartment, well Ethan and Brandon's apartment. Everyone was out, I didn't know where but I was alone with my thoughts yet again. It had been a few days since Beth passed away and we had her funeral yesterday, that was a tough one.

I couldn't handle it, all I kept thinking about was her body lying on the floor, covered in blood. My dreams had been coming back as well.

Well, I couldn't call them dreams, they were more like nightmares. I didn't sleep much and I was a mess, it was nearly Christmas and without Beth and Tyler, there was no point in celebrating.

I got up feeling a bit dizzy, I hadn't been going to the elevator at all since Beth died and Freddy hadn't shown up yet. Maybe that was a good thing.

I got a drink of water and I suddenly heard my name being called in a whisper.

"Ally." It repeated. I felt scared and terrified because it only happened in my dreams, not in reality. Maybe I was hearing things. I wasn't not crazy, I knew that.

My thoughts were cut off by the door opening on it's own. "What the?" I said as it creaked all the way open and it showed the deserted hallway on the other side.

"Hello?" I shouted but, no answer was heard. I placed my glass of water on the bench and looked out into the hallway. Something told me to follow whatever it was.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and I forced myself to check it out. I started to move my legs to get closer to the door and I looked left and right but, no one was in sight. I took one step out and the door slammed shut behind me, scaring the crap out of me.

"Hey! I banged on the door as it was locked. "Hello?" I shouted again while banging my fists on the door multiple times while trying to turn the door handle. I heard a familiar ding and I looked to see the elevator opening but, nobody coming into my sight.

"Ally." The whisper repeated and I felt like I had no choice. I left the door locked and walked over and entered the elevator.

I was all alone at this point as it slammed shut and I was faced with four walls and a roof. I shivered as I felt a presence enter the room without being seen. He was here.

"Nice to see you again, Ally." Freddy appeared right in front of my eyes. I said nothing as I stared at him, feeling unsure about this. "Be polite at least." He gestured.

I looked down, stopping the tears from falling while folding my arms. "You killed her." I whispered as a single tear drop fell down my cheek.

"No," he laughed, "she made my job easier." I could feel him smirk. "And less painful."

"She was already in pain with the loss of her boyfriend!" I snapped as I looked at him.

"Let me show you something," he said and with a click of his finger, we were out of the elevator and inside a dark place. He was standing next to me as an image appeared in front of us.

It was Beth, smiling and laughing at something. I couldn't hear anything but, I could see it.

Tyler then appeared and it looked like were someplace with clouds up in the sky. Having coffee and cake. This was weird.

Beth had her hair up in a pony tail and wearing a blue polka dot dress while Tyler wore jeans and a t-shirt. They both looked so happy.

"Why are you showing me this?" I interpreted the image.

Freddy laughed. "I did both you and them a favour."

I glared at the image as it kept playing over and over again until I burst into tears.

"Stop!" I yelled. "Stop!"

Beth and Tyler suddenly disappeared and another image appears. It was Ethan, all alone.

"This is the future." He said as Ethan was up in the same place that Tyler and Beth were. Was he going to die? No. Ethan couldn't die, I won't let that happen.

"Bullshit!" I said in between sobs.

"There's nothing you can do." He smirked. Brandon then appeared in the image, he sat next to Ethan while joking around. This was strange but, they looked happy, happier than they do in the real world.

"You see? They're happy." Freddy said. Tears began to form making the image blurry as it disappeared, fading away right in front of my eyes. The silence started to freak me out and with another click of his finger, I was back inside my apartment. With nobody around.

I replayed the images inside of my head over and over until I tried to block them out. I couldn't lose Ethan, I loved him. I couldn't lose Brandon either, he saved my life that night when I was homeless and alone with nobody.

"Hey, baby." Ethan walked in the apartment, interrupting my ongoing thought.

I faked a smile. "Hey, you."

He kissed my cheek and entered the bedroom to put some stuff away. I had a gut feeling that something horrible was going to happen that will destroy me, forever. Could I live with it?

The pain that I caused everybody is ruining me already. I kept repeating one phrase in my head in Freddy's voice over again until tears dropped down to the end of my cheeks. He didn't exactly say it but, it was like he was here, telling me.

I have to fight this, I have to save everybody that's left before it's too late. Was Freddy telling me my future? It felt true, I didn't want it to be but, I know it's possible.

He killed Beth and Tyler. He's capable to do anything he wants. Those words send shivers up my spine. "Ethan was going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it."
