Chapter 6 Room 205

Rachel stopped before Ann could follow her and turned in the direction of a hospital gurney.
- Dear, could you grab the hammer on the gurney? asked her, gently.
Ann raised one eyebrow and turned her lantern on too, turning in the direction of the gurney. In need, there was a hammer over there.
- Oh. I should have used this, right? she laughed, putting the hammer on her bag.
- Yeah, but I don t really care. Room 205 now.
- Where is it?
- Over there. Rachel pointed one of the hallway s doors.
- Oh.
Ann moved forward to the door and opened it. The room was dark and a little bloody. It s smell was terrible; it was just like dead bodies, dirtiness and blood. Too much blood.
- Ok, if this is the real world I don t wanna even see the other side - Ann commented, looking around.
- But you will. Rachel whispered, looking at the large mirror on the room.
- Oh no. Rachel, I m not going there. Definitely no! I hate those mirrors and you know that!
- Ann, stop being so childish, ok? You have no moral to tell me this after what I ve seen you doing to those nurses!
- They were just nurses! I m not afraid of them! I m afraid of those big fat worms, of that mummy thing that throws up on my face and that damn invisible stuff! I hate them!
- Ann! Rachel shook Ann s shoulders. Stop it! I m gonna be with you! You re awesome, for God s sake! You don t have to fear them!
Ann stopped and calmed down. Rachel was one of the fewest people in the world that could do this to her. She breathed slowly a few times before speak again.
- Thank you. I ll try to remember it.
- Thanks. Rachel sighed.
Rachel released Ann and walked to a white shelf. There was a paper on it.
- Preliminary diagnosis: Third degree burns, patient is unconscious Something has prevented damage spreading to the internal organs Tissue damage is limited to the epidermis and extremities of limbs How is it possible? read Rachel.
- I can tell, but you wouldn t believe me. Ann told, smiling.
- Yeah. Rachel smiled too, keeping the note. Time to cross the mirror.
- I hate my life.
- And it s only the beginning.
They walked and reached the large mirror. Alessa showed up, with her lightly cold blue eyes and touched the mirror from the other side, gentle, but leaving a bloody mark on it. Ann and Rachel faced each other and Ann hold Rachel s hand. Rachel touched the bloody mark on the mirror and the lights turned out for a while.
When they opened their eyes, they were on the other side; now the room was completely red blooded. Rachel opened the walkthrough again and looked to a box under a broken desk.
- Ann, the plastic lungs are in the box.
- Got it. Ann reached the box and grabbed the lungs.
- And there is a scalpel on the gurney.
- Got it too. Could you stay with the lungs?
- Sure. Rachel caught the lungs and kept them on her bag. And I ll keep the healthy drinks too.
- Better. Ann grabbed the bottle on the other side of the room and delivered it to Rachel.
- Where to now?
- Room 204. said Rachel, putting her bag on her back.
