Chapter 5- Silent Screams (Ahhhh!)
Somewhere up the stairs ways down the hall, thru the rooms. Katina stumbled
in the darkness. Trying to get further and further away from the horrible
noise, but only succeeding in getting further and further from her friends
and from safety.
Chris ran until his sides hurt and he had to stop. He leaned against a wall trying to catch his breath, but seconds later the scratching and clicking started. The thunder roared and lightning danced on the wall. Light?...Window! Chris ran to where the lightning flashed thru, only to come face to face with thick steal bars blocking his escape. 'No' Chris eyes widened when he concentrated on what was outside. 'A town' But it was a dead town. No lights No cars No people He sighed and looked away examining where he was the hall was dark and bare except for a few doors and some old paintings on the wall there was nothing of interest. Scratching Chris desperately pulled and pushed at the bars. They barely moved but Chris did, he had had all he could stand and took off running again. apparently he was going to do a lot of that here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah and Andrew where luckily, they managed to stay together or rather Andrew managed to keep up with Sarah. "Ah! Andrew why did I have to get stuck with you?!" Sarah complained as she glanced around. Andrew who was in front of her seemed not to hear her complaining but was staring out the window. "You know u like it" he answered; "come here, look" he pointed out the window. "like it my ass, what is it I don't see anything" she said annoyed. Scratching "Let's go its coming!" Sarah yelled grabbing his arm. Lightning flashed illuminating the sky for a quarter of a second. The light shined of the roofs of the dark lifeless houses below. Beyond that a wide river crashed against the rocks, where they could barely make out the beginning of a bridge before it was consumed by the fog. "That's the bridge we crossed before we crashed," Andrew said" all we need to do is go through the town and across the bridge and...." Scratching closer... "Andrew im leaving!" with that she ran down the hall. "Wait" he ran after her not wanting to be left alone. Suddenly The air was filled with laughter a child's laughter. Sarah froze and Andrew stopped next to her staring down the hallway. A child's figure stood in front of an open door at the end of the hallway light streamed past the silhouette still laughing. "what the hell?" Andrew's shaky voice sounded from beside Sarah, starting to step forward. "no what the hell are u doing?" Sarah yelled grabbing him back. "you're not going over there" "It's just a kid, maybe he's stuck here too" Andrew said starting towards the silhouette. "You stupid Jock get back here!" Sarah said going after him. All of a sudden the figure began to grow, its voice began to alter turning from child's playful one to twisted and evil laughter that seemed to come from all around them echoing off the small hall. The figure was the one that had caused them to crash. "It's his fault! Let's get him that SOB!" Andrew yelled running towards it. "Andrew u dumbass that's not person! Sarah yelled but he didn't listen. He ran and flung himself head first trying to tackle it. His body felt like he was in slow motion, his hands reaching for the figure he almost had him.....................................(lololol) but suddenly it disappeared and the light was suddenly quenched leaving the hollow darkness. Andrew collapsed tackling the floor. "Andrew Stupid Ahgg! what the hell trying to tackle a ghost! Ugghh I knew u were a jock but this is ridiculous." She yelled running to his side. "I scared it!" Andrew said from the floor looking very proud of himself. "scared it?? dumbass! It could have killed u!" she yelled pulling him off the floor. Scratching "Let's go! NOW!" Sarah yelled "but...but" he stammered. "NO Andrew ur not going to try tackling it again now go!" With that they ran down the hall trying to get away from the clicking noise but it only got louder coming from all sides echoing through the halls through there minds driving them insane. "In here" Andrew pulled Sarah into a dark room and closed the door behind them. There hearts were pounding in there heads. "What's in here?" Sarah asked. "I'm not sure I want to know" Andrew answered, but he pulled out his lighter flicking it on. "OMG o shit I don't like this room" Sarah backed into the door Andrew with her.
