My body tensed as he brought the knife to my face. I felt as helpless as… well Marcus. I did the only thing I could do. Mr. Meyer yelled out, dropping the knife. I kicked him in the stomach making him release me.
"The little bitch bit me!" he yelled, holding his now bleeding hand. Yeah! One for the vampire sidekick! I turned to the door making a break for the hall. I ran harder then I ever ran before, desperate to get to the room where the calculator machine was. When I reached the room I could hear loud heavy footsteps. I slammed the door, locking it. I looked around the room for anything that I could put against the door, because I knew that that lock wasn't going to keep him out for long. I ran over to the desk the machine was on and tried pushing it. I couldn't. My little six year old strength wasn't enough. I could really use super human strength right about now.
There was suddenly a loud banging sound as the door started to rattle. I looked around the room for anything else that could be put against the door. There was none.
I backed up to the opposite was and ran as fast as I could into the desk. It bounced back as it slid forward. I went back to the wall and did it again, sliding so that it was only an inch away from the door. I backed into the wall again and threw myself as hard as I could into the desk. It hit the door with a loud thud. The banging on the door continued but it didn't rattle so much anymore.
I took out the piece of paper and turned to the calculator machine thing. I put in the codes that were next to the label "Open", careful not to put it in wrong. I opened nine of the chains and stopped at the last two. There were codes by ten and eleven but it didn't say which one was "Open" and which one was "Fire". If I put the wrong one in I could hurt Marcus. If I didn't hurry up then this would have been a wasted effort.
I looked at the codes next to number ten, trying to decide which one to do. I wasn't sure so I just winged it and put in the first code. Nothing happened, which I assumed was a good thing. I took a look as the codes next to number eleven and did the same thing; just put in the first code and hope that nothing happened. I suddenly heard an agonizing scream and realized I was wrong. I quickly punched in the second code. The screaming stopped.
I sighed, hoping that was a good thing. The banging on the door continued. I wasn't that worried until I heard a loud crack. It took me a moment to realize that it was the door breaking.
I looked around the room in a panic and say what looked like some kind of air vent. I climbed up on top of the desk and struggled to pull the cover off. With a loud moan the metal broke off. I lifted myself up and climbed in. I loud snap indicated that Mr. Meyer broke the door. I started crawling trying to get away from the opening as he reached in to try and grab me. I turned around lightly and bit his hand as hard as could, making him pull it out of the vent.
I turned around a crawled till I got to another vent opening. I wasn't sure what room I was in but it beat staying in the vent. I kicked at the covering till I popped off and slid out of the vent.
"Welcome back." I hear Dr. Stine say behind me.
I looked around the room for anything I could use to defend myself. I gasped at not what was there but what wasn't there.
Marcus was gone.
