Robert
When I slowly opened my eyes, I realised it was dark… and I hurt… and there was something laying on top of me, squashing me.
It suddenly snapped what happened, and I rolled Rachel angrily off me, getting up and looking above us, where the dim light of the basement slightly washed down to us. I saw where we'd fallen through; it was wood alright, but it was seriously old and worn.
I cracked my back, then looking around where we'd fallen…
And jumped, instantly alert.
People! In the shadows! All around us!
It took me a few seconds to realise these 'people' were a little too still to be real. I turned my head to see the half-face of one of them.
"Shit!" I hissed "Goddamn fucking dummy!"
"Hmm" I heard Rachel moan, then went to go help her up. She shrugged my hand off when she was up, then jumped when she saw what I'd just seen, looking at me a little worriedly.
"Stupid store dummies" I told her, looking around in the eerie darkness. There seemed to be a light coming from somewhere, illuminating the dummies from behind, but not enough to see actual features. The light was dim too, but it was better than complete darkness.
"The correct term is mannequins" Rachel bluntly corrected me. I turned to her, gritting my teeth.
"Look, if you want to fucking fight, then-"
"Shit! What was that?"
"What was what?" I looked around, seeing nothing but those stupid dummies. Suddenly I felt a whack at the back of my head.
"OWW! FUCKING STOP IT!"
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU GOT US-"
"ME? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT WITH STRANGLING ME!"
"Well you-"
I suddenly froze. Something… something happened…
I looked up to see the light from the lightbulb in the basement flicking back and forth, like someone had knocked it.
"Shh!" I hissed, clamping my hand over her mouth and pointing up at the light. She shut up as well when she saw what I was pointing at. Although, she shoved my hand away. I gave her a quick glare, then looked up and listened as well as I could.
It wasn't one of the others. I knew. They'd call out if we weren't here.
Not to mention when they saw the big giant hole in the floor, which they could most likely see if they were close to the light.
But it wasn't. I wasn't even sure what it was.
And after that cold presence before… it could be anything…
I looked at Rachel, and she looked at me. I mouthed 'hide' and pointed into the many plastic bodies around us. She nodded, and disappeared out of the light. I quickly did the same, trying my best to stop myself from panicking as I saw the shadow of something up in the basement.
Let me just say that it was hard to keep from panicking at that moment. Especially when something grabbed my arm and I let out a choked gasp. My head shot around to see Rachel press a finger to her lips, looking at me fiercely in the dim orange lights. I gritted my teeth to stop myself from screaming blue murder at her, turning to look back up at the hole in the floor.
As far as I could tell, I couldn't see anything else up there. And that terrified me more than what I'd just seen. Where was it? Or better yet, what was it?
I slowly moved further into the darkness, taking Rachel with me. We backed up, until I hit something.
I spun around, freaking when I saw a face.
The face of a bloody DUMMY!
"Fucking hell!" I hissed as quietly as I could giving the damn thing a kick for good measure. It started to tip, but Rachel caught it in time, glaring at me. I just glared back, then heard…
THUNK!
"What was that?" Rachel hissed.
"I don't know. It came from near where we fell" I hissed back, grabbing her arms and dragging her further into the darkness with me, away from the strange orange light down here. Whatever it was, I could tell it wasn't friendly.
Call it intuition or whatever, I just knew I didn't want to tangle with that, and if I did, I'd be turned into fish food.
I looked around, seeing if I could find something or somewhere we could-
Something moved! ONE OF THE DUMMIES MOVED!
No… it wasn't a dummy… it was… something else…
It had a hood, and it moved fast.
Seconds later it disappeared, and I looked frantically around for it.
GONE!
OH CRAP!
"Rachel!" I hissed in her ear "We're not alone down here!"
"You… you saw it too?" she asked, looking at me. She almost looked scared.
Good for her. About time she showed it.
"Uh-yeah. I did. C'mon, let's try and find a way out of here" I took her hand and carefully led her through the rows of dummies, all the while keeping a lookout for that hooded figure and praying that my eyes were just playing tricks on me.
God did I pray. And I wasn't even religious!
"Over there!" Rachel cried, and I spun around and saw a flash of what I'd seen before.
"Oh fuck! We gotta get outta here!" I cried, sick of whispering, not caring if Rachel thought I was a wuss or not. We had to move!
I ran, finding a wall and making my way along it, holding Rachel's hand as tight as I could. Good thing was, she was returning the pressure.
Then we reached a corner! I turned!
And coming from us from all the way from the other end of the room, moving bloody fast, was the hooded figure!
It was shuffling, the rags at the bottom of the cloak showing me hideous feet. And… it had claws!
"Back!" I yelled.
"No use!" Rachel cried, and when I looked I saw another one! From the direction we'd just come from!
"Shiest!" We backed up into the wall, looking for another way out…
"Robert! I've found something!" Rachel suddenly let go, turning and crouching. I barely heard her. My back was pressed into the wall so hard it hurt, and the sight of these things gaining on us had me paralysed with fear.
Wouldn't you?
"Robert! Help me!"
I couldn't move! I could barely breathe!
"ROBERT! IM THROUGH!"
I felt her move away from me, to a place that what seemed to me was impossible, unless…
Unless she'd found a hole in the wall!
I gulped. Shit! They were close!
"ROBERT! MOVE!" I felt her grab my arm, which knocked me out of my trance, and I let her lead me through the hole in the wall she'd made, just before I felt the air of one of those things claws grab at me.
"That was too close!" I cried, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"What the heck where those things!" Rachel cried as she and I crawled quickly through the place she'd found.
"Fucked if I know" I panted, my heart thudding my ears and knowing we were still far from safe.
