Chapter 5

"Anyone there?" the voice ringed the hallway and onto us. I grew and grew more impatient to find the voice. I was sure that it was the rest of the people that disappeared back at the campsite. I checked the windows at every door but it always is tinted. Chase checks each doorknob to see if it would budge open and Ash went ahead to check for other exits.

My eyes caught on the 2A sign above a door as It glows yellow. I look towards Chase, who was behind me, for confirmation. He gave a slight nod as He backed up to check the door behind him.

"Help," the voice seems to get louder, coming from the direction of the door. I turned the doorknob as the door swung open, revealing the gloomy room inside. The sharp cold breeze zoomed past the back of my neck as I mentioned my hand for Ash and Chase to walk in.

After inspecting with the best we can do, the room gets darker as we ascended into the room. The light from the hallway was the only source of light that could help illuminate the room a bit better. I felt around the scraped bumpy walls for a light switch. My hand hits the smooth glossy panel.

"I'm guessing that panel I'm feeling right now is the light switch, I can probably tell from the large bump in the middle," I placed my arm out as a guide for Ash and Chase to rope their way towards me. I placed my opposite hand towards the switch as I closed my eyes as I leaned my hand forward. The sliding door slid open as a loud thud followed. Ash fled back as he drags his shoes across the floor.

Silence echoed the room. The lights started flickering on and off until it settled on being on. I gasped as my eyes landed on the rest of the group. I stumbled towards Hayden as I inspected the group to check if they are okay.

"Are you guys alright? What happened?" as I gave a quick glance to shoot the question at Hayden. I look back at Bailey as I leaned in for a hug. Ash squeezed in through the gap to reach Ash as he moved him onto his lap.

"Ace, I need you to wake up. Please!" he panicked as he shook Ash's body with panicked force. I exhaled the cold air as I gloomed down and then onto the rest of the group. Finn was in the corner checking his arm for any bruises. Bailey and Candice coming over to exchanged hugs and talk with Chase.

"Looks like you guys went into trouble," mumbled Bailey as she headed over my way. I stored up as I interrupted her walking to turn back into the pair.

"Yeah, it's fucking trouble alright."

"It's a good thing to hear that you guys are doing okay," Finn places his fist on his chase squeezing his pocket.

I nodded as I turn back to Bailey. "What did yall went through?" I asked as the rest of the group including the now conscious Ash walks towards us.

Bailey left eye contact as she glooms over Ash. Hayden shuffled throughout the room to pacing back and forth. I dug in my pockets to check if I had anything that could be useful. Finn caught on as he also checked his pockets and after one and the another. Everyone gave a shrug to nothing in their hands.

"Our pockets must have been emptied out even we were attacked that night," I have Candice a glance over to her side. I nodded as I walk past the group to peer in the dark window of the door. Ash followed behind as He motioned everyone to start looking for the exits.

After a moment of silence, a loud buzzing came on from the ceiling making static once. I shuddered at my movements as I turn over back to Ash. The rest of the group stumbled with me. Silence rested upon it, as I try to concentrate on where the static buzz was ringing. I concluded it was from the corner ceiling of the room, I had to look to make sure. I pointed at the intercom and whispered.

"That's where the static is coming from, I'm guessing it turned on and is ready to announce." My whisper because loud as normal talking. I loosen up as I straightened my back and gave a firm look at Ash.

The awkward since rose again as everyone else back away. A loud crash broke behind the door. I tense up as panic raced through my mind as I have everyone a side glare before peeking through the scratched hole of the door.  The dark and eerie glow of blinking white light shunned behind the door. I focused my eyes on the light to process what it could be. I left the group to collect my thoughts and hopefully plan out something. I know that there was no point in getting out now. I rested as I close my eyes.
