It started out with me and my sister packing up to leave on a journey or something. Originally, I was to be alone while my sister traveled with a friend of hers that seemed to be weary in my presence. I was able to get my sister to agree to let me travel with them. One we were packed up, we left our very Japanese like traditional house.
We walked through the mountains , and eventually came upon an inn. I believe we stayed there, and my sister grew wary around me. I had wanted to see the infamous duo of the Akatsuki, Itachi and Kisame. I had heard that they were traveling around a Port city, so me and my sister and her friend set off. We could see parts of [the city] when we got closer, still in the mountains. When we arrived, my sister and her friend ditched me in the bustling crowd. I searched everywhere for them, but to no avail. I was now traveling alone.
I traveled alone and around the world. Some part, my dad, step mom, and one of my dad's friends found me walking along a dirt path, so they picked me up. They were in cars. We went adventuring around, sometimes on foot, sometimes on bikes. We stumbled upon an old abandoned house (much like the one I left) on a forked path. The other way led to a mountain path. One night, we were in the house. I was doing something, and I realized I was alone. I ran outside, and the cars and bikes and stuff my dad, step mom, and dad's friends used were gone. They had left me.
Somehow, I ended up in the kitchen. There was a note on the fridge, and it said something like "We're sorry, but we're only doing this to protect you and everyone else". I was sad. I was bound to the house and could not leave. There was a seal on my left arm that "said" so.
I spent my time in the house mulling around, cleaning and randomly doing things. I was in the bathroom when a messenger bird and messenger cat appeared. They both carried messages from my family. I didn't read them, as they most likely said sorry. I wrote messages that said I hated them, and sent the impatient messenger animals away. I was angry. Everything after that is blank.
We both stood there, inside the small and cramped button less elevator, waiting. It had to be the slowest one we had been in yet. My claustrophobia had kicked in long ago when we were first forced into this nightmare of a maze.
We, my friend Alex and I, had been discussing whatnot, when we had been knocked out. We had soon woken up in a room connected to a long hallway. The whole place was a mess. The walls were in a state of disrepair and decay, and seemed to ooze blood from every crevice. The floor was like a metal grate, but had some sort of dead plant woven in the bars. It was also dark as hell, and we could barely see the 'ceiling', which was just like the floor. It seemed like some sort of thing seen in Silent Hill.
We had walked for a while, gotten lost, gone up and down many elevators (much to my dismay, and all of them, strangely, had no buttons), and had even considered splitting up, but that idea was quickly diminished when we had heard something slithered near us to the right. We had barely any light to see, but what we saw made us turn tail and run right into the elevator that we were currently in. The.. thing.. whatever it was, was huge, the top of it hitting the ceiling, which was probably 15 feet. I.. we could see long sharp teeth, the plethora of sticky saliva (at lest i though it was, couldn't tell), and we could hear it's growls and hisses as it chased us. Did I mention that it had no freakin' eyes.
This small little elevator was a temporary sanctuary, yes, but maybe to Alex. He didn't have claustrophobia, or even and intense fear of elevators, like me. I envied him for it. The elevator seemed to pick up speed, but only a little. I could only huddle in a corner, shut my eyes tightly and plug my ears to try to get away from it all. That's what I did in a situation in which I couldn't control. It would be my downfall if faced with another monster.
The elevator hiccuped, then stopped with a screech. My heart began beating faster than i thought possible, and I could barely hear Alex mutter a 'Shit..' before the most loudest, most horrifying roar echoed through the elevator shaft, and eventually, the small elevator cart. I had fallen on my knees, and screamed for all i was worth. I was just too scared to care, the massive loads of adrenaline that my brain pumped n my body urged me to just run, run as fast as i could. couldn't concentrate, and I could remember myself jumping up and clawing at the doors. Alex had tried calming me down, being all calm, and succeeded to the point which i stopped screaming and sat with my knees to my chest while he pried open the electrical box and tried to get the elevator running again.
I felt useless, but I knew I couldn't be much of any help, and this place was starting to get to me. I watched Alex 'hot wire' the elevator. It felt like years had passed when he finally got it working again, and as we began ascending again, we heard another roar, closer, and the sound of an adjacent elevator cart plummeting to its doom, whatever passengers it carried screaming until a BOOM and all was silent. Alex and I looked at each other, and I could see he was absolutely terrified.
By the time the elevator had finally stopped and its doors opened, i had fallen asleep. Alex tapped my arm to grab my attention, but when I opened my eyes, he wasn't there. I began to panic, and afraid to step out of the elevator. It began groaning, so I took that as an initiative, and jumped out just as it too, like its predecessor earlier, plummeted. There wasn't any roar of a mystery beast this time, but the fear still clung to me like sweat on an extremely humid day.
I wondered where Alex was. He was the only one out of the two of us who had any sort of weapon. I looked around for something, anything that could be of use. I saw a heavy looking pipe on the wall, almost falling off from age, and decided on trying to take it. Luckily, it wasn't hard to take off the wall. It was heavy, yes, but it would suffice.
I noticed i was covered in blood. I almost dropped my new found weapon in surprise. Where had it come from? Who's blood was it? looked over to the now empty elevator shaft. Was it Alex's blood? I swore I saw something gleam in the blackness of the empty shaft, so I hurried over to a set of double doors and entered them. I made sure the doors were closed before i continued on. I was too scared to investigate.
I walked down the hall, noticing the similarities to a hospital. The Hall was semi wide, and had a gloomy feel to it. A light blue mist had given the place a grayish blue glow. I looked around, and saw that all of the doors were broken in a curious manner. some were broken off their hinges and seemed to have been welded back on, some seemed to have this strange tree like plant growing on it and on the walls. Said walls had a coat of a thick, dark blue substance on it. It was shiny like freshly shed blood, and seemingly gave off a sickly sweet stench. The hall was completely devoid of objects, and as I walked further down, the world around me seemed to get darker and darker, the blue turning into red.
Blood red.
I started running down the hall, randomly turning here and there when an intersection presented itself. Soon enough, the floor started squelching beneath my feet. I made the mistake of looking down at the floor, because when I did, I lost my balance and slipped, resulting in me falling on my ass. The floor was drenched on the same substance on the wall, and was slightly sticky. With a start, i realized that it was blood. And a Shit-ton of it.
I heard a creaking sound in front of me, so i looked up. A set of double doors down the hall and to the right opened slowly, and a static light softly glowed out of the doors, as if a tv was on. I was too damn curious to be afraid, so I slowly got up and made my way to the doors. I entered and was blinded by a light.
When I could see again, I felt like I was in a dream, everything looking like it was being projected out of an ancient movie projector, the world in a purplish gray scale. I could see a me and Alex walking down a hall, talking. I followed, but I made no noise, and when I walked in front of the two, it was like i wasn't there. I realized it was like a memory.
Past me was talking to Past Alex. It went something like this:
Past Alex sighed. He shook his head and looked at Past me. "I don't know how I'm gonna be able to do this. I can't. I give up."
Past me stopped and stared at past Alex as he stopped to turn around to look at her. She stared at him. "What? But why? After getting this far? I-"
"I'm $4000 in debt with them, Tyler! You of all people should know by now how hard money is to get these days! I can't go on! They'll find me! You! They'll..."
Past me put a hand on Past Alex's shoulder. "hey, it'll be alright. I'll help you, and I'm sure the others will too!" she took her backpack off and fished out a torn wallet. She opened it, and took out $50 and gave it to Past Alex. He looked at her.
"but, this is.."
"If it is to help, I'm fine with it."
She held out the two 20's and the ten. Past Alex looked at it. His face became hardened. "I cant take it. its yours."
"But-"
"But nothing! Just forget about it!" He slapped her hand away, making the old bills fall to the ground. He turned around and stalked off. Past me just stood there, watching him stalk off.
The scene dimmed, and eventually went black. When I could see again, I was laying on a metal stair case. I could see through the metal grates that made up the stairs. I didn't like what i saw. It was that thing from before, silently slithering up the stairs. It didn't seem to notice me. I got up as quietly as i could, and tiptoes up the stairs. All was well, until i got up to the last floor, when i heard a yell. My heart jolted. It sounded like Alex. I looked over where a catwalk was and saw Alex, as clean as could be, making a leap of faith to the railing i was next to. I could of sworn he knew he wasn't going to make it. the catwalk scaffolding fell, and a roar sounded. I looked over the railing. It had fallen on the monster.
Alex had caught on the railing last minute. I tried helping him, but the look he gave me stopped me from doing so. It was the look of defeat, defiance, sadness, and emptiness. He looked down below to see the monster, then up at me. he smiled, then let go. I screamed and tried reaching for him. I heard something CRACK and then a roar. I knew he had bought me some time, but I dint want to go. He was the last of the people i knew alive. He sacrificed himself so I could escape. I couldn't put such a sacrifice to waste, so I turned to open the door. It wouldn't open. I tried opening it in anyway i could think of. Still wouldn't budge.
Alex's sacrifice would be vain. I fell on the floor on my knees and closed my eyes, waiting for the inevitable. I could hear the monster roar and I could hear its claws as it skittered up to where i was. I Felt its hot breath on my face. After a minute or so, i realized it wasn't doing anything. I opened my eyes and looked up, Only to see..
Me. Staring back at me. Drenched in blood. With a fucking scary smile on my/her face. In her hands was Alex's head.
I opened my mouth to scream. Nothing came out. My counterpart opened her mouth, only to lunge at me with her incredibly long and sharp claws and teeth. I raised my arms in a feeble chance top protect myself. Nothing came, yet again, but i could hear her, laughing. It was inhuman, and it sent chills up my spine.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in a dream like state again, but instead of me and Alex in a hallway, we were before, on that landing on the staircase. but instead of a monster racing up the stairs, there was nothing.And Alex looked up at me with fear. Like I was the monster. He backed up till his back ht the railing, and I could see him trembling. And I Loved it. I loved seeing him cower in fear. I felt myself grin, grin like how my counterpart did before she lunged at me.
Was I her now? Or was she me? Were we the same?
I walked towards Alex, slowly. He looked behind him, which was then when i struck him. He fell backwards, and clung to the railing with all his might. When I looked over the railing, I knew why. Below us was a bottom less pit, but you could see fire licking at the sides of the pit. If one fell, they were sure to have a slow and painful and antagonizing death.
Alex looked up at me, then down at the pit, then back up at me. With a look of defiance, he let go. I felt myself sneer as he fell. He chose that over me. Was I disappointed that i wasn't able to kill him myself? I felt myself collapsing.
When I came to again, i was in an extremely familiar room. A child's room.
My room when I was younger. I couldn't remember which house it was, though. I saw me, the child me, over by the toys, talking to little fairies and.. The scary me, the one who had Alex's head. She was kneeled next to Child me, grinning, showing razor sharp teeth. Child me didn't take notice of it, or didn't even mind. I could feel myself in all three places, I could see what the other me's could see.
Me who was sitting on her ass staring in disbelief at what she was seeing.
Child me who was playing with her toys while she was talking to her friends and the nice scary lady who came often.
And Other me, who watched child me play while she thought of how she killed child me's parents.
I couldn't believe it. Other me looked over at where I was, then Child me and the faeries looked over. Child me started to tremble, then screamed.
All went white.
I woke up on Child me's bed, all alone in the attic room. I looked around. Everything was just the way it was when i was a child, but all neat and orderly. The only door was welded shut, for some reason being metal. there where scratch marks on the walls, and someone wrote "GO DIE MONSTER!!!" on the walls. I got up, the wooden floor boards beneath me creaking. I saw the room flash with fire, then i was suddenly in a car, laying in the backseat. I heard someone crying, and someone else yelling. But it was all incoherent.
Next thing i knew, I was a wolf like creature, attacking a monster that looked suspiciously like the one I saw in the beginning, but it was orange, and it stood taller than a bid barn. It had many mouths and kind of looked like seaweed. I attacked it, Roaring, screaming, whatever, with all my might. I had began eating it, which apparently was the only way to kill it. It screamed and thrashed around as i killed it bit by bit, before whatever remains collapsed, its blood spurting out like a never ending waterfall. I had done that to save a fuzzy purple boar that looked like a cat.
Still wolf like, I looked up at the sky which suddenly became dark and cloudy. It began to rain blood.
