The hospital fell silent as he exited the elevator. All the doctors and nurses he had just seen walking around where out of sight. Walking past the reception desk Drew noticed Katie wasn't there either. I literally just talked to her a minute ago...strange. He continued walking down the right hallway. The ceiling lights were dim and flickering. The noise of his foot steps and beeping of a heart monitor were the only sounds to be heard. Nope not creepy at all. He began to walk faster. And faster until he was sprinting to his aunts room. She had to be there. She couldn't have gone anywhere she can't even walk! Drew skidded to a stop in front of a doorway. He reached for the doorknob, slowly creaked open the door and walked inside. The room was dimly light and had an eerie chill. A hanging screen separated the room in two.
"Ok last time I was here she was sleeping in her bed..." He whispered. Closing his eyes, Drew quickly janked the screen from the ceiling to the floor. Opening one eye at a time he saw a middle aged women sitting on a bed, her back facing toward him. It was his aunt. Drew sighed in relief. "Aunt Rita, you really freaked me out for a second." He murmured. "Did you know where everyone went? This lights in the hallway kinda went out-" Suddenly he realised the sudden drop of temperature in the room. Frantically he grabbed his aunts shoulders and spun her around to see her face. "WHAT IS-" his words stopped before he could even process what he was saying. He slowly let go of her shoulders and backed up,his face frozen in terror. The women had no face. Nothing. No eyes, nose, or mouth. This was not his aunt. Drew fell to the ground and scurred to the door, Eyes glued to the faceless women. She slowly began to rise from the bed and began stagger over to him. Without a second thought Drew bolted from the ground out into the hallway. His legs wouldn't let him run fast enough. What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS GOING ON! He sprinted around the hallway corner not daring to look back. He had to be imagining all this right? None of this was really happening, he forced himself to think. But everything felt all too real.
Once he got to the main desk area, he slide under one of the desks making as little noise as possible. He attempted to calm down to slow his heart rate down. Alright so THAT happened... He didn't hear anything for a few minutes and decided the coast was clear. Rising up from the desk he scanned the room. Only to see the faceless women directly in front of him. Repressing all urges to scream, he kicked the women knocking her down and sprinted towards the stairs. And suddenly he stopped in his tracks.Drew turned around "What is that smell..?" He dared asking. Everything told him to get the hell out of the building RIGHT NOW but his stupid curiosity got the better of him. He inched back toward the main area and confirmed the scent. It was smoke. Far down the west hallway a small blaze of fire was quickly making it's way up to where he stood. Running again he finally made it to the stairs. He ran down 2 flights as fast as he could until he realised the fire was also at the bottom of the stair making it's way up. He couldn't go back up either, the fire was slowly surrounding him. He grabbed the door frantically trying to escape. The door burnt his hand when he touched it but he ignored the scorching pain busting open the door. And to greet him was another floor almost entirely drowned in flames and heat. Drew was forced onto the floor by the increasing fire and smoke.
"WHERE DO I GO NOW?" he screamed. He searched for an exit and found one hallway not completely covered in flames. He could see a window at the end of it. That was his only chance to get out. Drew sprinted down the hallway trying not to pay attention to the flaming walls around him. Once the got close enough to the window he rammed his shoulder to break the glass and jumped out. Hiding his face from the falling glass he realised he had just jumped out the third floor window. With the ground hurtling towards him fast.

Well... that was a big jump from nothing happening to WHAT THE FRIG IS GOIN ON. You may be confused ( I am) but the thing to remember is...this story is out of order. The events are mixed around with each other. But I tried to place them in a way where you can be like "Wait what- OH that's how oh ok I get it now ok."
As you can see I have no idea how to name chapters.
Oh, thank you so much for reading this far. :)
