I cursed as I grabbed my knife that fell to the ground when that guy tacked me. I run quickly out the door he passed through and stopped when I got back to the room with the four doors. The wolf was gone and there was no sign of the guy either. My phone rings and I pick it up while slowly walking around the room.
"Where are you?" Sean asks.
"Back in the room where the wolf was. Where are you?"
"Heading back that way. Don't move."
He hangs up the phone and I shake my head as i look out the window.
"You shouldn't be here," a female voice snarled. I turned around to see a red headed woman leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
"Let us out and we won't be here," I snap back at her. She laughs and I glare.
"He's taken an interest in you. You are not going anywhere," she smiles. Sean busts through the door and looks at the woman.
"Who are you?" Sean asks and she looks him up and down. She ignores his question and looks back to me.
"He wants you. This idiot will die before nightfall. Get him out of here before he is killed. You are not allowed to leave. Toodles!" She says leaving out one of the doors.
"Toodles? What the fuck?" I say walking towards Sean who was sweating and breathing hard.
"Are you alright?" I ask.
"Some idiot attacked me," Sean says. I lead him over to one of the couches in the center of the room. He lifts his shirt and I wince at the nasty gash on his side.
"We have to wash it and bandage it," he says and I nod standing up. Nothing around the room we we currently in could help us.
"There is a bathroom past the room I was in. It is through that door," he said pointing to the dirt to the far left. I nod and go towards the door.
"I'll be right back," I say.
"I hope so."
I roll my eyes and head towards the door he came from. I open the door to see another long hallway. I almost groan at seeing this but start opening doors. I finally find the bathroom and walk in. I close the door and start looking through the cabinets for the things I needed. I smile as I find a first aid kit and I tuck it under my arm. I close the cabinet and start to head back towards the room when I hear voices.
"They need to be killed! They trespassed into our domain!" One voice said.
"You will not touch her! The boy I do not care," I hear a familiar voice speak.
"That girl is ruining us! We are brothers! Kill her or I will," the first voice says. I hear a growl and something slam against the door I was near. I jump and then start running back to Sean. I open the door he is at and see him resting.
"We have to get out of here!" I say frantically. I lift up Sean's bloody shirt and wince at the gash again. I open the first aid kid and use alcohol wipes to clean it then I bandage his stomach.
"What happened?" He asks as I stand up.
"I overheard some guys talking about killing us. We need to get out of here, fast," I say helping him up.
"Great. Creepy mansion with a locked entrance plus killers," Sean mutters I smile as we head towards a door neither of us took.
Sean opens the door and I look around to see another room with a set of stairs heading down. I nod to him as I start down the stairs. A large metal door is at the end. I grab the door knob and push the door open with all my might. Sean gets through and I slip through as the door slams with a large clang.
"Shit! They might have heard that!" I said looking at the long hall for hiding spots. As Sean opened his mouth we hear foot steps coming down the stairs and we start running. We open a random door and shut it behind us looking for a place to hide. We both head towards the closet door and shut the door behind us. We hear the door the room open and freeze. I hold my breath until the door is closed and relax. Next thing we know the closet door opens and we tumble out. I hold my knife up to the persons thigh only to realize I knew the person.
"Skylar?! What the hell are you doing here?" I ask as Sean comes out behind me.
"Brett and I came out here when you weren't answering your phones. We thought something bad happened.
"It takes days to get here. Where you two tailing us?" Sean asks.
"Yeah but I'm happy we did. Let me call Brett so we can regroup," Skylar says and I shake my head. Five minutes later Brett shows up carrying a book bag and a pistol.
"What's with the gun?" I ask and Brett raises an eyebrow at me.
"Did you see the size of the wolves around this creepy place?" Brett asks. I nod and sigh as Brett moves the bag from his shoulders and places it on the bed. He hands me a gun along with a cartridge of extra bullets then also hands one to Sean. I look at it then him with a raised eyebrow. I never used a gun before so I don't know what Brett is thinking.
"Where's mine?" Skylar asks.
"You're to young for one. Also you will be with one of us at all times," Brett says. I put the extra cartridge in my pocket and pony the gun towards the floor.
"So what's going on?" Skylar adsks.
"We are looking for a way out. The front doors locked," I say deciding not to mention the people we have ran into.
"Why is it locked?" Brett asks.
"Someone wants us to stay," Sean says simply.
"Who?" Brett asks. The door knob jiggles and we jump back. Skylar stands behind us as we point the guns towards the door.
The door opened to reveal the hot guy I had seen earlier. His cold grey eyes looked at the four of us. He seemed unfazed by the guns. He looked to me and frowned.
"I thought you said there was only two of you?" He growled coming in and closing the door behind him. I lowered my gun as Sean and Brett looked towards me.
"You know him?" Sean asks.
"He attacked me awhile ago and told me to get out. I don't know who he is or what he wants," I say and Skylar just looked at him drooling. Both Sean and Brett kept their guns trained on the guy and he raised an eyebrow at me.
"Lower your weapons, I won't harm any of you. I am trying to help you leave," he says calmly. I look at our little group and they look to me. I raise an eyebrow and Sean shrugs. Brett glares as Sean lowers his weapon.
"I don't trust him," Brett says.
"Fine. You answer our questions and Brett will lower his gun if he believes you. Deal?" I ask. The guy nods and looks at me. I shiver under his gaze and Skylar glares at me.
"Who are you?" Sean asks.
"My name is Roman. You are on sacred land. If they catch you you three," he points to Sean, Brett, and Skylar," are dead."
"Why?" Brett asks.
"Humans are not allowed to be near hells entrance." Roman says and that's when I raise an eyebrow.
"Hells entrance? Are you nuts? And why isn't Caroline in danger?" Brett asks. He lowers his gun a bit and looks at Roman as if he had another head.
"This castle is above the entrance to Hell. My brothers and I protect the upper levels of the castle. The deeper you go the more creatures you will find. As for Caroline," he looks to me and smirks," that is none of your concern."
"The hell it ain't!" Sean says and I almost laugh at his antics. Protective much?
"Alright. The front door is locked. How do we get out of this place?" I ask not liking his answer.
"The front door is locked? It shouldn't be. Follow me," Roman says as the five of us leave the room. As we reach the end of the hall I see a male with shaggy dark blond hair leaning against the metal door. Roman stopped and we follow suit.
"Helping the prey Roman?" He says. I shiver when I see four sharp fangs as he smiles.
"I am not helping prey. I am returning them to the human world," Roman says taking a step forward. The man frowns at this then looks at each of us.
"I think we should play a game. Won't that be...fun?" He says and Romans face darkens.
"No games Dean," Roman says as Dean walks closer to us. I take a step back and run into Sean who is holding his gun. Brett hold his gun up pointing it at Dean. As Dean smiles his teeth got longer and sharper. His face becomes a snout and Brett shoot him. Deans now red eyes turn to him and Dean jumps towards Brett. Roman spears Dean from mid air knocking him to the ground.
"Run!" Roman says but it comes out garbled. I see his face changing and I turn to run to see something blocking the hall. It wore a black cloak and was holding a scythe. I pointed my gun at it and saw that Sean had done the same. The thing glided towards us and raised its scythe. I shot at it multiple times and me ears started ringing. The shots hit it and it stops to look at the three holes in its torso. The thing raised its scythe and glided towards us quicker then before. A black wolf jumps on it before it gets close enough to cause any damage. The wolf bites its hood and the thing evaporates into smoke leaving its weapon behind. Skylar walks over to the weapon and bends over to pick it up, only to be stopped by Brett. The black wolf walks over to me and slowly changes back to a human form. Roman looks at me and the last thing I see before I faint is Sean running over to me.
