Chapter Four – The Square Room
As Erik walked through the door he heard a door slam. He was now standing in a square room with two doors at either side. Erik didn't know which one of them had slammed shut just a few seconds ago. There was a huge organ in the center of the room. Erik took a quick glance round the room and on the floor was something he recognized. One of Christine's bracelets. Erik walked over to it and picked it up and put it in the inside pocket of his coat.
Erik walked over to the door on his left. He wasn't sure if this was the door or not but he tried it any way. He opened the door and to his surprise a body fell from inside onto him. Erik jumped back in fright. He leaned over to see the identity of the body. It was Barbara the Co-Director. Erik turned round and gagged. He felt as though he was going to be sick. He knew she was already dead and there was no point in trying to revive her.
Finding Barbara's body made Erik more worried than he was already. This man was capable of anything. He then rushed to the other side of the room and opened the other door which took him down to another staircase to another floor of the basement.
As he reached the bottom of the staircase an overpowering odour of rotting flesh reached his nostrils. This stench made Erik start to cough. This floor was better lit than the previous one but the air was filled with dust which made it harder to see. Erik wandered round what seemed to be the exact same layout as the floor above. He began to speed up as footsteps could be heard not too far in front of where he was standing. There were many twists and turns which made it harder for him to catch up to the footsteps. When Erik finally thought he'd caught up there was a dead end. He couldn't understand where they had gone. He looked up and he looked down searching for any trap doors or something similar but there was nothing.
Erik turned round to walk back just has he had turned round he heard a creek from behind him. He swung round to see that there was a secret door built in to the wall and it hadn't been closed properly
"There is still hope," Erik thought to himself and fled along the dark passage. Erik smiled.
