"Carl?" I called, glancing uneasily around the dark room. From what I could make out, the entrance hall was huge. The only thing I could see properly was the staircase, twisting up the wall on my left.
I heard a muffled scream from up the stairs. "Jess!" I shouted, running up the stairs, my small white heels making clacking noises on the stone ground. "Jess!" I shouted again when I reached the top of the staircase. I ran down the short hallway, skidding to a stop when I reached the next set of stairs. These were smaller, and I could hear noises in the darkness where the stairs led.
Slowly, I walked up the stairs, "Jess?" I said quietly. No reply. "Carl?" I said a little louder. Still nothing. My breathing was heavy was all of the running. A sudden gust of wind caught my hair, blowing it off of my face. I took in the gaping hole in the roof, as if a giant had torn it from the building. There were piles of dusty rocks on the floor, and stale pools of water lay haphazardly around the massive room. Snip snip. I gasped, taking a step backwards. My eyes strained against the dark in effort to see something.
The sound came again, this time accompanied by a voice, "Kim?" it asked. I saw movement in the shadows, and backed up again. Something glinted in the moonlight, as the silvery orb appeared suddenly from behind the clouds. Silver light broke through the hole in the roof, sweeping away the darkness. A man stood before, a few paces away. I gasped and stumbled backwards. Scissors...Scissorhands...EDWARD! My shoe caught on the rocks and I fell. My head cracked against something hard. A rock maybe? My vision went fuzzy, and the last thing I saw was the glint of metal, and Edward's scarred face. And then I saw only black.
