Zayn's POV

Okay, office employees with rotting flesh and bone digging their carcasses from the earth angrily biting and clawing each other – Well that's something you don't see everyday.

“Guys, I think we're on the wrong room” Ariana whispered

In a split second, the things came sprinting towards us. We quickly opened the door and run back to where we came from taking the left hallway instead. While we were running, I try to process what we've seen back there. Was all of this just a trick? It can be, but how can we explain the wreak smell of the blood? The eating cannibal employees? And the lifeless bodies we've seen earlier? Everything looked surreal and it's driving us insane.

“Lads, do you think it's a trick?” Harry asked, as we paused, choosing another path to take

“I don't know, all I really want is to get out of here” Liam said. It was like our nightmares were coming true at the moment and I've been extremely terrified since the very beginning. I just didn't want to show it, because we have a girl with us. I looked at Ariana and she looked terrified too, I mean who wouldn't be? It's like we were inside a horror movie. I don't know but, we just have to man-up for Ari, because if we don't who else would be?

Instead of thinking about the negative thoughts, I entertained myself by imagining Liam seeing a big spoon in this hotel, if this really is a hotel. Once we finished taking a bit of rest, we ended up choosing a straight path. We didn't take left or the right hallway because we might end up on a dead end again.

Once we went straight, we began to pass a couple of rooms and saw – shit! What really is this place? All that we can see were rooms with people being tortured, there were lot of screaming and some loud unusual noises going on and when I said tortured, it wasn't just plain old torture wherein you whip or punch faces of people. In one of the rooms, I saw a man with a chainsaw and I didn't even want to tell you what the heck was he doing, well I think you get the point.

“Was I the only one who saw that?” Harry said, while we run through the hallway.

“No” I responded, so I wasn't hallucinating? Everything in there was real?

“Saw what?” Ari asked, because Niall covered her eyes the whole time we were passing.

“Nothing” the lads and I said.

“Tell me, what's going on!” she said, taking of Niall's hand from her eyes. Once she began to saw, her eyes widen, let out a scream and went back to Niall, burying her face on his jacket. In response, Niall placed his arm around her, trying to calm her down.

“Now, where do we go?” Louis said, deciding on what path should we take.

“I think we should go right guys!” Ariana said, “Since we took left earlier”

I get her logic, but this was a hotel, there can be exit's anywhere, the problem is that we don't know where. So we just followed what Ariana said and took the right hallway.

 Niall's POV

“What is that?” Ariana said as we run through the hallway

“Where?” I asked her

“There! Up there!” she said, pointing at a dark figure at the ceiling. I looked at it and it looked like it was moving. While we run faster, it also got closer.

“Don't – have - an - idea, but” Louis said, his eyes widened.

Fuck! Coming forward to us was a woman with long hair on the ceiling “Let's – RUN!” I shouted

We run on the opposite direction as fast as we could, not wanting to turn back from were we came from. I had to admit that what we saw was scarier than pigeons! It scared the heck out of me! But one more thing that I was scared of was Ari. If we guys get scared of those things we saw, what more to Ari? She might be terrified right now, because her grip to my arm was a lot more tighter than earlier. It was like she's giving my arm a bear hug on my arm. Not that I didn't like it.

“Hey! Guys, look!” Ari said, pointing on a red sign.

“What is it?” Harry asked

“Look! It's an EXIT!” Ari blurted

“What?!” Zayn asked

“It is!” Louis said

“Let's Go!” I said and me and Ari run straight to the sign with the guys behind us. Once we got there, there was no DOOR.

“What?! Are you kidding me?” Liam said, “There's no door in here!”

Zayn walk towards the wall and touched it, “Maybe there's – ” he began to feel something and pushed a part of the wall.

“Oh my gosh!” Ari said

My eyes couldn't believe what it's seeing – there it was, the exit. All of us looked at each other with wearing a smile on our face and run out from the horrifichotel.

“We're out!” Harry screamed, while Louis hugged him and told him I LOVE YOU. I looked at them smiling, but then I began to notice that Ari wasn't beside me, I turned around to find her –

“Thank you so much Zayn!” She said as she hugged Zayn. It was like time stopped, I stood there motionless, not knowing what to do. Looking at Ari, the girl that I've been fancying for the past few months was hugging Zayn my mate and what hurts the most was Zayn hugged back.

Zayn's POV

I was in shock, my body couldn't move and I felt my heart beating faster. I wasn't like this normally, I was only like this when I like someone. Man, vas happenin'? I don't know, but unconsciously I wrapped my arms to Ariana too and I liked the feeling, it felt right, it felt great, I just couldn't explain it. I then became to remember what we did last night, how we laughed while we carry the lads up to their rooms, how she said goodnight and how she smiled. All I've ever thought the whole night was her, I kept on trying to picture my girlfriend's face, but her face was the only thing that kept popping into my mind. I smiled as I held her in my arms, but then I began to notice Niall looking at us, it was then I began to remember that who I'm hugging was the girl Niall's fancying. I quickly took off my arms around Ari and told her that it's no big deal.

“Let's go guys?!” Liam asked.

“How about Avan?” Louis asked

“Well he got us into this, so I'm pretty sure he can get himself out of this wrecked hotel” Niall said, walking away headed to the sidewalk.

“Okay then, fair enough!” Louis said, following Niall with Harry and Liam beside him. I looked at Ariana and saw that she looked decisive about the lads' decision.

“Let's go?” I said and she looked at me and said, “I don't know – what if Avan's in trouble?”

“I don't know, but I think what we've seen there isn't real at all, besides if it was real they should've shut down this place before because a lot of people would be missing. I think it was just Avan's prank, nothing more.” I said and she sighed.

“Okay then” she said, looking at the floor and we followed the lads.
