I open my eyes in a dark place, where am I? I look around the room, an abandoned classroom? But not the classroom me and my friends were when… oh my god. The earthquake, the charm, falling. I sit up glancing all around me in panic, where are my friends? I need to find them.

I try to get up but a pain at my ankle makes me fall down. I get up putting all my weight on my other foot. I look over a desk and see Emily lying on the ground.

"Emily!" I shouted running as fast as I can "Emily!"

I drop on my knees by her side and shake her shoulders.

"Emily! Wake up! Wake up!"

She suddenly starts coughing and slowly opens her eyes.

"Emily!" I exclaimed relieved.

"What's wrong, Alex?" She asked sitting up "is it lunch break already?"

"Don't 'what's wrong' me! You don't remember what happened?" She doesn't answer so I continue "we stayed at school since it was my last day with you guys and we did a charm".

"Where are we?" She looks around confused "and the others?"

"I don't know" I sighed sadly "but we are going to find them. To do so, we have to find a way out of here".

I get up and start looking around. I don't know this place, so the exit will be hard to find. I try to open the window but it won't budge, all of them.

Dean.

This sudden thought makes me realise that he is probably worried like hell right now. He's going to find me, that's for sure.

Still, I wonder where we are and how we got here. This charm was clearly not fake.

"My cellphone has no signal either" Emily said as I turn towards her "is it just me or does this look like some haunted spot or something".

"Yeah" I agreed "I've seen a lot of haunted places, this is a movie haunted building".

"It's pretty scary".

"Yeah, but I wonder how we ended up in this place" I said looking at a whole in the ground.

Even this whole is strange, it's dark, like nothing was under.

"Perhaps… we were kidnapped or something" Emily said looking weirdly excited "and got involved in some incident".

Seeing my confused face she laughs "I'm kidding, there is no way something like that would happen!"

I suddenly hear some voices laughing coming from the hallway making me gasp.

"Em… did you hear that voice just now?"

"Huh?" She frowns "I didn't hear anything".

Okay, now I'm going crazy, or this place is really haunted. I hope it isn't, I don't have any weapons.

We walk out the classroom, the hallway is as deserted than the other room, and as abandoned.

"It's strangely quiet, isn't it?" Emily remarked.

"Yeah, well, let's hurry up and get out of here" I said starting to walk.

"Alex, what happened to your leg?" Emily asked seeing that I am walking weirdly.

"Seems like I sprained it".

"Are you okay?"

I turn around with a smile "I'm fine, it's no big deal, I'm still able to walk".

She nods and we continue walking in the creepy hallway, it's all abandoned and destroyed.

"In that classroom from before, weren't the desks and chairs seemed really small?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, it did" I frown "it was probably an elementary school".

We keep walking in silent. I can't keep away the feeling that someone is behind us, like when I'm on a hunt. I hope it's only my imagination…

SPNXCP-SPNXCP-SPNXCP

After walking for maybe half an hour, and searched almost all of the first floor, we go down stairs, it's still looking the same. This place doesn't have any life.

"Looks like we are the only ones in this place" I conclude as I stop walking.

"Which means…" She starts off.

"What?" I ask looking at her strangely.

"I'm alone with Alex!" She exclaimed jumping in my arms squeezing me to death, right on my breast.

"Hey!" I jumped surprised "what do you think you are doing at a time like this? We need to hurry and get out of this place!"

I try to push her away but she only looks up at me with her big brown eyes.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, I want to spend more time with you, just the two of us".

"Emily!" I push her away.

She always have been the strange girl, especially with me since I am her best friend, she isn't bashful.

SPNXCP-SPNXCP-SPNXCP

"Hey Alex" Emily called out.

I stop walking and turn towards her with the look that tells her to continue what she was about to say.

"Do you have any of that ass medicine with you?"

"Ass medicine? Why should I have that?"

"I gave it to you since I always lose mine".

"You can't wait for us to be out of here?" I asked.

"No! It hurts right now!" She exclaimed.

"Fine" I sighed.

I grab it from the pocket of my skirt and hand it to her.

"Thank you!" She said with a childish voice and walked in the bathroom "well then, I'm gonna slick here up a bit!"

"Do you have any shame at all?" I murmured.

I guess now I have to look around while she is… I don't even want to think about it.

I try again to open the window, but they are still sealed pretty well. How can the windows the closed like that with no lock? It doesn't make any sense. All the patterns of a hunted place is starting to build up, but I hope it isn't this.

I glance at my left seeing an old clock that stopped at five o'clock. I walk towards it looking at my reflexion. Suddenly I see a little girl with a pale grayish face, black long hair and a red dress appearing behind me with a devilish smile. I jump turning around to only see Emily looking at me with a big smile.

"Sorry for the wait!" She stated.

What the hell was that? This wasn't my imagination. Shit. I there is something here. We need to get out of here fast!

SPNXCP-SPNXCP-SPNXCP

I decided not to say anything to Emily, she doesn't know about the supernatural and doesn't needs to know. We only have to get out of here, find the others and forget about this. Even though there is so many things I don't understand… was it the charm that sent us here?

"Looks like these stairs leads to the first floor so the entrance should be somewhere near" Emily stated as we reached the stairs "just a bit more and we will be out of here, let's do our best!"

"Yeah, let's go".

We find the exit, finally.

"Exit found!" Emily yelled throwing her arms up.

I glance around frowning at all the shoes at the ground, kid's shoes.

"Like I said" I sigh "this building was an elementary school".

"Elementary school, huh?" Emily repeated "everyone must be getting hungry by now".

"Your little brother, Jack, and your other sibling are in elementary school right?" I asked.

"Everyone is still growing so, just preparing food for them is lots and lots of work".

"In your family, your dad always comes back really late, doesn't he…"

"Yup" she cuts me off "while dad is always working hard, I get to be the housewife" she winks at me pulling two fingers up "after all, it's just me and my dad that takes care of them".

"I can relate" I smile at all the memories with Sam and Dean "my brothers always takes care of me, since my Dad is practically never home. They are both like my parents. Sam the mom and Dean the dad".

We both laugh. But my laugh stops quickly. I miss them, Dad too. I want to see them, they should be worried out of their heads right now. I really miss Sam, I hope he's okay at Stanford.

"Alright" Emily stops laughing "I need to hurry and get back home to them. I guess it's the same for you too, Alex. I guess also that your family is worried".

"Can't imagine how".

We get to the door and both take a handle.

"We'll go on 'pull', alright?"

"Yup".

"Ready and pull!" We exclaimed at the same time.

We pull, but the door doesn't budge, fuck. We try again, and again, and again. Noting. We're trap here.

Then, it happens again. The same kids laughing voice resonates in my ears. I turn around quickly, no one.

"Let's look for a place to get some rest" Emily said making me jump "we'll definitely get out of here, so don't worry!"

"Okay, huh, let's go".

This is shit, this is fucking shit. Hurry Dean.

We were lucky and we found the infirmary. My ankle really hurts and if we have to run away from a ghost, I have to be good.

"Okay, it's perfect!" Emily exclaimed as she finished rapping my ankle "how is it?"

"It's good, feels better, thanks doc" I joked.

"It would have been better if we had something cold to put on it".

"Thanks, it's better than nothing" I smiled.

I lay down on the bed sighing. How are we getting out of this place now? I just want to see Dean and Dad again. I want to have a chance to maybe see Sam again one day.

I grab my part of the Sachiko doll I had in my pocket and stare at it. This simple paper can now kill us. That's fun…

"Hey Alex".

I glance at Emily laying down facing me.

"For now on, will you always stay with me?"

I sigh and put the paper back at it's place.

"Em… you know that I have to go with my family once we get out of here right? But I promise to call, text send mail, everything!"

"Really?"

"Yeah" I assured "no matter what happens we will always be friends".

She chuckles "thank you".

"Geez Em!" I laugh seeing her face "you're red!"

"Alex… let's always stay friends".

I nod. She is the one and only friend in all my life that I really care about and I really want to keep her.

"Oh yeah!" She exclaimed sitting up.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems that I lost that precious piece of paper" she explained "I probably dropped it while I was in the bathroom. I'm gonna look for it for a bit".

"Wait!" I stopped her "I will go with yo-"

"Alexandria! You need to rest!" She ordered with a stern voice and her smile came back "I'll be right back".

"But Em, it could be…"

"No!" She waves and runs out.

Shit. I hope she is going to be alright. If she's not back in ten minutes, I'm going to look for her.

I lay down staring at the ceiling once again. Thinking about what Emily said 'let's always be friend'. With the lifestyle my family and I are living, I don't know if I can have a friend without putting her in danger, if something would…

DING!

I freeze. It's that old clock I saw in the hallway near the bathrooms. It wasn't working!

The lights turn off on its own. My muscles won't move, I can't even scream for Emily. Panic raises and I try to move even though I know that I won't be able.

The lamp on the desk nearby turns on and the sound of a crayon writing on paper. I turn my eyes towards the desk. Theirs a crayon writing by itself in a note book.

Blood suddenly flows on the wall. I'm going to die.

EMILY!

I want so badly to yell, but still, nothing gets out.

A black shadow creeps at the end of the bed making its way on top of me. I stare at it eyes wide, scared as hell. I don't even know what this thing is! I can't even defend myself!

My mouth opens itself as the shadow inters me mouth and makes his way through my throat making me choke. I feel myself losing consciousness, until…

"Alex!"

My eyes opens and I sit up coughing. She needs me! She is in danger! Why the hell did I let her go on her own I am so stupid! Why did she leave me!

I get up quickly to see this black smoke with a purple aura. I try to get the door, but there's hair booking the door. I rip it off as fast as I cannot looking back. Dammit! It won't budge!

"Emily!" I yelled terrified.

I grab the door knob and pull as hard as I can.

"Where are you going?" I voice said behind me.

Come on! Open!

"Come over here…"

I glance at the smoke, two bloody eyes and a bloody mouth.

I open the door and stumble on the ground. The smoke approaches towards me dangerously.

"Come over here…"

The second it reaches the door, it disappears.

I get back on my feet panting. What the fuck happened? What was that thing?

I glance at my right where I see a silhouette looking like Emily.

"Emily!" I shouted as I ran to her.

I put a hand on her shoulder and she falls on the ground. It's not Emily. It's a dead decomposed corpse with worms coming out of its nose and mouth. I gasp and fall on my knees my hands covering my mouth and my nose. I suddenly feel a presence behind me. I freeze and glance behind me, the little girl is there the same as the one I saw with the clock. She has a red dress and she grins at me evilly as blood pours out of her mouth. My eyes winded and my breath accelerate.

"Alex!"

The little girl disappear and I can't help it, I vomit on the ground.

"Alex!" Emily… "are you okay?"

Once she reaches me, a rage invaded me.

"Why didn't you came back sooner!?" I spat looking at her "you said you would be right back! I was almost killed just now! 'Always be friend' my ass! You left me all alone here, but me through all this, how could you say that?! That's enough! What's with you, always smirking!?"

I look back at the ground in front of me taking my breath.

Emily gets up "I only wanted you to rest for a bit… and yet…" she pauses "no! Alex would never say something like this!"

She runs away. I look back at her. What? Why did I said that? I like it when she smiles… it makes me happy when she does. It was so horrible. I have to apologize.

I get up and start walking towards the way she ran away. I really want to see her. I still don't understand why I said that.

SPNXCP-SPNXCP-SPNXCP

I get to the staircase where there is a couple of dead bodies lying there all bloody and their guts all over. I ignore the smell and the sight and go up quickly. The clock rings again, what the hell, why is it working, I saw it broken!

I walk up the rest of the stairs to go at the clock that suddenly stops. That is totally not normal.

I glance down on the ground finding Emily's crème, so she should be close.

I know!

Every time Emily would be sad she'd go to the bathroom.

I open the door, it's silent.

"Emily?" I called out but no answer "hey Emily, listen… about before, huh…"

I hear a weird noise coming from one of the cabin.

"Emily?" I asked "are you in there?"

I walk to the cabin shaking like crazy. I don't have my brother or father to back me up if something happens and it's freaking me out.

"Em?"

I open the door slowly and gasp in horror at the sight of my best friend, eyes closed, pale with a taint of bleu, saliva coming out of her mouth, her feet are not touching the ground and… the rope around her neck.

"Emily…"

I can't understand. What happened, what is happing? Is she… Oh God.

"Emily! Why!" yelled shaking my head.

She's dead! Oh God! She's dead! No, no, no, no!

She suddenly gasps and reaches the rope with her hands.

"Em?" I realised she was still there.

"So-so-ry-" she choked out.

"Don't be sorry, I'm the one who should be sorry!" I exclaimed advancing to her.

I need to find a way to get her out of there, fast!

"I'm the one who is sorry Em" I said "I'm sorry, I'm gonna save you".

I try to lift her up but it only has for effect to pull her done making her choke more.

"Oh God, sorry!"

Okay, what do I do? I am in full panic mode. I have to take the rope off I need to find something she can stand on.

I run out the cabin to search for something and spot a bucket that I run for. It's full of worms, organs and blood, making me wanna vomit, but who cares. I grab it and empty its content on the floor and quickly make my way back to Emily.

Once I get there, I fall on my knees dropping the bucket on the ground, I'm too late. Her eyes are wide open full of terror, he mouth open and her face is pale.

I can only hear the sound of the rope making her balance.

"No!" I yelled bloody murder.

I drop my hands in front of me.

"Why? Why? Why?" I mumbled under my shaky breath "why!"

I can't feel the tears, only anger.

"Why did you hang yourself?" I yelled "you were laughing a while ago! You said we would go home together! No…. don't leave me alone here... please answer me… Emily…"

At the end of my phrase I was completely sobbing. This can't be happening! She's not dead! I glance back at her, she…. She….

She's dead….
