Thanks to everyone who read last chapter and thanks too to xsostarstruck, vampiregirl2009 and JessicaHardy for the lovely reviews. They were really sweet! YOU ROCK! ;)
The end of the story is near and I hope to surprise you with it. Only three more chapters (without count with this).
READ and REVIEW
- Please, someone help me - Torrie was hoarse. She couldn't scream any longer. The water already touched her knees. The blonde couldn't believe how quickly the mirror room had filled. Just more half hour and she would drown.
Despair. Nothing more could she feel at that point. More screams for help echoed through the room
- Are you sure? - following Daffney, AJ started having dugouts if the girl knew the right track. From what he knew, Daffney had killed someone and he didn't know if she could do the same thing again.
- Yes, I'm sure. I know this place better than you do - since they got down, Daffney and AJ had spent their time fighting.
- Of course you know. I never put my feet here.
- Every time you went to the roof, you put your feet here. Once, I was with Stevens and I saw you.
- I loved the Daffney who would never open her mouth to answer and would always run away - AJ whispered under his breath. It was an all new Daffney to him and even if he didn't want to admit it, he preferred the Daffney who didn't hide under the bed.
- Did you hear something? - Daffney stopped walking, almost making AJ tripping on her. The boy took a depth breath to not comment it.
- Don't have a nervous breakdown now because I need you to show me the bedroom - the only thing he could hear was water running through the pipes.
- I'm hearing something - giving a few steps, Daffney waited to hear the sound once again.
- Those voices on your head will fade away if you ignore them. Please, can we go?
- Shut up - Daffney yelled and turned to AJ. When the girl's screams stopped echoing, AJ heard the same sound Daffney was hearing. It was the voice of someone asking for help - Did you hear it?
- Okay, I'm hearing the voice too - both followed the voice and ended up in a dead hall. Turning to Daffney, AJ spoke - As you know this place better than me, where are we?
- It's the Mirror room. They used those rooms for therapy - Daffney started touching the walls. It seemed she was looking for something - They used to close people during weeks until they become crazy - it could be dark, but AJ had seen the smile on the girl's face. The old Daffney was still under the Daffney he had just met a couple of minutes ago.
- Did Stevens close you here? - after all, the girl was a kind of crazy. It could be the reason her head had never worked as it should.
- That's the door - pushing a small knob, she revealed to AJ the entrance. She diverted from the entrance, allowing AJ to put his hand on the knob. Getting behind, the raven haired girl saw AJ opening the door. Water ran from the Mirror room, throwing AJ to the floor and watering Daffney until her knees. Sat on the floor, AJ faced Daffney and realized she was laughing.
- Next time, you open the door - putting on his feet, AJ looked inside the room only to see Torrie trapped in a chair.
- Where are we? - Torrie asked while AJ was closing the mirror's entrance. Being so much time trapped in the chair, had marked her wrists and ankles with wounds.
- Under the hospital - Daffney spoke with a big smile - Killers lived here before us.
- What happened to your neck? - AJ noticed bruises around Torrie's neck. The bruise would make a circle around her neck.
- Someone tried to suffocate me. I passed out and then woke up in that room. There was a message written in the mirrors: "Water hides Man's Greed".
- It's the name of a book - Daffney spoke surprising Torrie and AJ. The last one didn't understand why they had gotten surprised. Daffney shouldn't be surprising him anymore after everything she told and showed him in the last couple hours.
- How the hell do you know it? - AJ asked only to make sure it wouldn't be another crazy story.
- I read a lot - Daffney simply answered.
- You know how to read? - Torrie's question had crossed AJ's mind too, but for the first time he had decided to be polite and not rude with Daffney.
- Why are acting so strange? Everyone reads books. Everyone knows how to read.
- Okay - before the conversation could go further, AJ decided to take the lead - I want to see the room. Let's go.
- Shouldn't we get out of here? - Torrie questioned them very confused. If someone had trapped her inside one of those rooms, wasn't more secure to get the hell out of there?
- First we see the room because I won't get out of here before having sure of my suspicions - incredulous the blonde followed Daffney and AJ.
Randy placed Candice on the couch. The brunette hadn't waked up yet. Drops of sweet were running through her face.
- What's wrong with her? - Trish asked when saw Candice's state. It wasn't the Candice they were used to see.
- I don't know - Randy replied without take his eyes from the girl.
- She seems sick - Mickie touched Candice's forehead with her hand - She has fever. I'm going to the ward - she didn't know what Candice needed, but she had to help her friend.
- You can't go alone - Jeff protested, but Mickie ignored him. He had never seen Mickie walking so faster. He faced Trish, who nodded with her head. Running, Jeff went after Mickie.
- I'm going to my room and pick up a blanket, I'll be right back - Trish made her way to her bedroom.
Randy was left alone with Candice. He had never seen her so pale, so weak. He moved a hair strand, which was covering Candice's face, behind. Randy knew Candice and seeing her in such inoffensive stage was strange for him. Candice would never let someone seeing her down.
- Candice - hearing Randy's voice, very slowly, Candice opened her brown eyes - Candice, what happened?
- Poi…Po…Poison - she mumbled under her breath with a lot of difficulty. The effects of the poison on her body were getting worse each minute.
- Who did this to you? - Candice tried to speak again, but she didn't have strength - Who did this to you? - Randy asked once again and saw Candice's eyes wide open. The girl tried to speak again, but the result was the same: not a word crossed her mouth - What's wrong? - observing Candice's eyes, he saw a figure behind him holding a sharp object.
I'm sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes. As you all know, english isn't my first language.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
