Roze's Corner: Im back and planning on starting up again. Before I start writing, I have to say this:
I looked at the reviews for the story and you know what? I really dont care for those who choose to criticize me just because I choose not to jump into the horror right away. Everyone has a different writing style and a plot to go along with the story, and if you think that mine sucks: Well truly my dear I dont give a flying care. So to: The Dark, 6700AD, and httpswwwphpcom thank you for reviewing, you guys gave me confidence to continue my story the way I want it to go despite you trying to convince me otherwise. And fyi, anime has nothing to do with psychological trauma darling which you three so obviously have ignored. But continue to try and poke at my love of manga & anime and how it "incorporates* itself into my writing *rolls eyes*
Overview: They were out of his grasp but the nightmare still haunted them...
Chapter 6: A macabre welcome back
Eileen's P.o.V
"Here you are hun! Now you make sure to be good boy and listen to your parents okay?"
"Alright nurse Eileen!"
Smiling, I patted the doctor's patient on the head before sending him off with his parents. Working in the hospital had its perks, I got to meet new people, it gives me a head start in my career... "And it's helping me cope." After that whole twenty one sacraments incident, hospitals have been sort of a pet peeve for me. Slowly though, I'm getting better and I'm even able to stay here after hours when its dark.
"Eileen hun! Room 306 needs you!"
"Coming Sheryl!" I forgot how busy a hospital can get since I was out on medical leave. Rushing by one of the head nurses, I dropped off the previous patient's folder before grabbing the next one and making my way to the room. Very rarely did I deal with sick children, I just attended to those who needed regular check ups and gave out shots. The day passed by quickly and soon I was sitting in a room with my co-workers for lunch. I missed talking to most of them, time spent within the other world some what disconnecting us from each other.
"So Eileen, how are you hun?"
"Im fine Isabelle, and you?"
"Same old, same old. How's the old man at home?"
"Who?"
"Oh dont play dumb! That friend of yours that you've been rooming with? What's his name? Joey? Marshall?"
"Henry and he's fine, both of us are still adjusting to here." I pulled out a chair for Liam to sit next to me. Both Isabelle and Liam were my closet friends, choosing to move from South Ashfield just to work with me. When I was dismissed from the hospital, besides Henry they were the first to greet me and the only two outsiders besides Frank to know what happened to me.
"I bet! It's a big move from S.A to here, how are you two adjusting so far?"
"We're okay, still kinda shaken up about the whole thing." I intentionally left out the parts about what was happening recently to keep the atmosphere calm.
"Well dont forget we're here for you two if you need us. We won't let you two go through that again by yourselves."
"Guys... "
"No guys! Eileen, we nearly lost you, despite how strong you think you are you will always need help.
"Thanks guys, it means a lot to me but I know that he wont be back ever again." Hugging them, I tried to keep my fingers uncrossed.
( A couple of hours later)
"Okay and I'm done! See you guys later!"
"You sure you dont want a ride hun?!"
"Bella I'll be fine!" I was already changed into my street clothes, my scrubs folded and placed into my bookbag.
"Alright! Call me when you get home!"
Waving her off, I pressed the button to a side elevator and checked my phone. "Lets see... Hmm, home, mom's cell, dad's cell..." The elevator pinged it was here and I walked into it. Texting, I pressed the button to go to my floor, excited about the take out at the house. "Alright, lets call mom and see where she's at." Dialing my mother, I frowned when it gave me the dial tone busy signal. "That's odd, usually mom is cooking at this hour. Let's try dad." This time I dialed my father and I got the same tone again. "Alright... House phone." This time while dialing I got no signal, and instead got...
"This number no longer exists, please try again."
"What the fuck?" The elevator suddenly shook and jarred, tossing me against the wall before falling into a rapid descent. "Hey!" This continued for a few more moments until it screeched to a halt. "God dammit!" Rubbing my head, I scowled at the metal death trap, kicking it before going over and ringing the button for help. "Hey the elevator isnt working! Can someone come and get me?" Silence. "Hello!?" Silence still. "Bill?! Joseph! Are you there?" Again I got nothing and I was getting mad. "You two idiots better be there or else!" This time the silence wasn't so long, I heard scratching in the area followed by papers being shuffled. "Hello!?"
"Hello?"
My blood ran cold. 'That is definitely not either one of those goof balls!' I didnt say another word, just listened to that eerie voice repeat hello over and over, its voice becoming more mangled each time it spoke till it sounded like a slow down radio. At that point I stepped away from the panel and looked for the emergency shaft. 'I am not staying here to be monster fodder.' I was by myself and I didnt carry any weapons with me since it would look weird to the others. "Where is it?" Since we needed to bring in patients through this sometimes the architects made sure that the door blended well with the elevator so any suicidal patients wouldnt try to jump. "Ah! Found it."
"Now, now, it wouldn't do us any good having you get away would it?... Mother."
'Oh god no...' If my blood ran cold before it was ice in my veins now. Before I could retort the elevator shook violently again and since I wasnt against a wall I flew head first into the floor. I braced myself but my head still managed to bounce off the metal floor."Oww, that's becoming a migraine later." Laying there trying to collect my wits, the lights began flickering on and off as the elevator began to move again. 'Thats it, I am so done with elevators!' Managing to get up, the elevator had dinged, signalling it had stopped. When the doors opened I had to force my lunch to stay down. 'Life has a funny way of giving me karma.' Walking out the elevator, I was glad I changed into my sneakers so my feet made no noise as I traverse the now desolate hallway. I was glad when I came across a pole, light enough and easy to swing but damaging to whoever was the unlucky soul to get hit by it. 'Or other worldly presence.' Adjusting my bag, I came to the end of the hallway and took a deep breath before I rounded the corner. "What the fuck? This cant be..." But it was, I was starring down the corridor of St. Jerome's Hospital.
A/N: I'm back and this story will be completed! I do want to give the biggest shout out to KatherineHowardRose for she actually gave me the courage to finish this chapter and continue on with the story. My story will not be everyone's favorite nor do I expect it to be. But if you have ACTUAL criticism for me you can inbox me or you can tastefully write it down in the review section and I will definitely take it into consideration and try to the best of my abilities to incorporate it into the story. Thank you and have a nice day all!
