It lured closer, sniffing the air tampered with our fear and sweat. We pressed against the cold rough wall, hoping it wouldn't collapse. When we looked again, we didn't see it, maybe it was gone finally.

The only thought that came in my head was, “Where's the angel of death when you need it, I don't wanna suffer a miserable death." Before we could slightly move or take a breath, a faint scratch of movement echoed from above.

It's pale, rotting, nailing falling , hand dragging across the cracked surface above us close enough, it was inches away from getting us.

The man who still covered my mouth with his hand whispered, “ don't move”. I am not even making a single sound or movement, but this dude needs to keep his mouth shut, the more he speaks, the more we are open to danger.

A tender growl came from the unknown monster. The only thing we could see was the shadow, as if it's waiting to make the perfect jumpscare even though we already know it's there, waiting for it to mark us.

Well I had a good run in life, but I guess my grave awaits me. Squeezing my eyes shut, I waited for it to pounce on us, but instead we heard a crate breaking apart on the other side of the hallway, making it diverted from us. Its flesh falling hand unclutched from the wall and crawled on the other side of the hallway, out of sight.

A few seconds passed and he still hasn't let go of my mouth, even though I shook my head or tried to mumble. But I believed he had a desire to suffocate me, so I bit one of his fingers and he finally released me from his sweaty, soiled hand and stared at me disapprovingly.

“Yeah it's gone, you can stop shushing me and seriously, wash your hands, they reeked of death more than that ghoul's ugliness.” I stepped away from him, scanning the room and my new surroundings.

“ bitch.”

“ I heard that!”

I came across the others in the same room, and counted seven of us- me, three girls, two cops (including the one with the stinky hand obsessed with shushing me)and that boy who owes me eighty five quid for my chips.

Thought why not introduce myself “hey i am Sia, and you guys?”

One of the girls stepped forward, all soft goth edges and polished confidence. “Hey, I’m Bella. This is Lily.” She pulled the girl lurking behind her into view. Lily slightly waved and looked away nervously.

“And I’m Quinn.” Miss Quinn didn’t bother to look at me, too busy checking her reflection in a pocket mirror.

I turned to the two cops and the teenage boy and motioned for them to speak.

“Officer Jack Morris and this is my colleague Officer Thompson”

“And I am Eddie” I glared at that young boy who is now eating my wrap that I'd been saving for later. Alright thats it, I grabbed my bag and my half eaten wrap…but then I gave it back because the idiot already had eaten it.

“Now enough introduction we need to figure out to get out of this”, Bella demanded everyone's attention, but right now I had a better question.

“I just don't understand…how did I end up on the third floor again, or was I that immersed in my music to not realise that i magically teleported, I am not sure what's real any more”

Bella smirked faintly, but it was hollow and lifeless . “This building all I can say is…don't trust it, not the walls, not the stairs, not the door,....anything ”

“Can I trust you?”

Bella stared at me Stunned, not expecting me to ask that, the silence between us sharpened as a blade. In this near grave situation we realised if this THING can twist our senses, It won't be long till it twists us too.

Unable to think much, but Bella was only able to say, “we will see”

Eddie wandered over ,chewing my wrap like it was his last meal…which honestly was becoming a fact “Enough of doom and gloom ladies ,have you seen that thing, it's walks slower than my grandpa with his cane, let's just all grab a stick and ATTACK”

Officer jack smacked the back of Eddie's head, “shut up, your voice is loud enough to summon it, keep talking, and I will make sure that you will be on its menu tonight.

But Eddie was right, it's slow and weak itself, maybe we can try to overthrow it.

“But what even is it?” officer jack asked. “A demon? A ghost? Eddie’s dead grandma trying to drag him to the afterlife for one last game of Uno?”

“HEY!,” Eddie snapped, giving us a full deadass glare. “Don’t you bring my grandmama into this.”

Touché.

“okay stop it both of you, right now we need to leave, it might come back this way” Bella getting their attention.

“Your right let's go”, and we all ran out the door, that didn't actually do a good job in saving us in the first place.

After passing around a few corridors we heard a scream, “AGHHH BELLA HELP ME”, we looked around to find out lilly wasn't with us.

I grabbed a bunch of bricks, I found on the floor and carried them while the others already had a weapon prepared beforehand, and we went to find Lily. But when we reached there, we found Lily on the ground, face covered with her tears, and the ghoul struck its sharp nailed fingers Into her leg, she was losing blood, but the ghoul wasn't giving her any mercy, struck deeper, it looked at us, with its playful expression daring us to save Lily.

All of a sudden two guns were shot rapidly at the ghoul, as it screeched in pain and fell back, Bella and I picked up Lily and ran out the room and the others followed us. We had no clue where we were heading to, but hopefully the gunshots gave enough time to run from it.

“COULDN'T YOU HAVE SHOT IT DEAD BEFORE” Bella screamed angrily at the two officers and her anger was justified.

“WE DID, BUT IT DOESN'T DIE” the ghoul screeched echoed behind us and saw, it was running after us from distance

Its face was twisted with deep loath for us, as it lunged toward us, increasing its speed. I guess we ruined It's dinner time.

Eddie accidentally tripped into a different corridor, took a different route and separated from us, he was now out of sight.

Unfortunately for us, we hit a dead end. I thought we had enough time to turn back, to find another route, but it was too late. It stared at us, creeping closer, slow and deliberate, knowing we had nowhere left to run.

Yet.
