It swung open silently. He collapsed to the ground holding her.
Who is them Felix?” I asked putting my hand on his shoulder.“It was Pat and another man…” he finished shaking his head in disbelief.Everyone gasped including me. On the edge of my hearing, so quiet that I had to strain my ears to pick it up. And the green one. My door wouldn’t close.Confused and more than a little disturbed, I initially thought to just leave. I would have wagered my life on it.
We moved into a motel. That woman could sleep through a hurricane.I asked Belle if the noise was keeping her up at night. My daughter’s dreamy voice in my ear, my memory of it so sharp that it seemed that she was right there whispering it. Very cold.The laughter started again.
Maybe if it’s just me left I will win the game! But they haven’t taken my girl away.My doctor told me to talk about it. Once I was half way I stopped as a foot came down fairly close to where I was now kneeling. Then, as I watched by the trembling light of my flashlight, the lock slowly began to turn. His body was covered in cuts caused by flying through the windshield and sliding across the road. She had been that way as long as I could remember. I was never any good at keeping track of what day it was. I could still hear them faintly through the door, the thud of feet on the floor. And what a step it was, a stiff armed and stiff legged march down the corridor, her feet scraping over the wooden floor. I had to check the flour. We both spun around to see Krissie opening up random doors.“What the hell are you doing?” I seethed. There, hidden under it, was another door, scratched into the parquet flooring. And there it was. It did not help. Becca rocked her back and forth for a minute passing her fingers through her hair before turning to me.“What do we do now?” Becca asked, looking teary eyed her-self.“We have no choice but to move on.” I sighed. I followed. He was not afraid to pop his children when they did something wrong. Just then I noticed the same horrid smell of sweat and blood from earlier, but this time it was overwhelming.He saw me. I’m crashing on a friend’s living room couch instead. My daughter was standing there, just behind the door, a still figure against a dark background. I woke with a snort at first light. Belle was at the top of the stairs.I felt the light caress of fingers on my hand. Sylvia and I stayed with her parents for a month. I gave the door a gentle push. They were so kind to me. So convincing were the brush strokes on the door that I had to touch the wall again to tell myself that it wasn’t real.“How’d you know this was here, baby bear?” I asked.“From school?” As far as I knew, she hadn’t brought friends home before.“No, Daddy. Sketched out between the tiles in front of me, in bold strokes of dark mildew, was the vague outline of a door.It was another sleepless night. I stared at the pictures in complete shock, and I could see it was equally as tough for Pat’s father as well. No one was there. There was but a single set of footprints, just starting from her bed, where her feet would have landed if she got off. Had I suffered a psychotic episode in the middle of the night, terrified of nothing more than a mouse scratching at my bedroom door? I bolted down the corridor. They got louder and louder as the days went by. We weren’t in there for more than a moment before our other friend Felix shoved a flask of Jack Daniel’s in our face.“I made sure to get one for each couple,” He winked at me with a huge grin, “It isnt prom night without Sir Daniels!” we all burst out laughing. I ran my fingers over the smooth surface of the wall. It wasn’t dust at all. “THERE’S SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE!” I barked with extreme adrenaline coursing through me. I spent the first night on the couch, hugging a bottle of Jack. The blister on the wall took shape. I was up in an instant. The fingers were gray and skeletally thin, stained the rusty brown any medical student could tell you was dried blood. I lay back in my bed with a sigh, waiting for the sounds to start. We got along better than any sibling could possibly get along. His clothes were dirty and his face was cold. They asked questions. The sound of the door opening pulled me to a state of consciousness and I walked from the room down the hall to the living room. It was as though the contractor had miscalculated when he built the place, slightly displacing the doorway from the hall. 9.5/10. He turned around and saw me and that’s when I saw him accurately for the first time. The entire wall and then some was clearly visible. That’s understandable so I really didn’t press the matter. There were eight of us total and we had all been friends since grade school and couples since late middle school. Sylvia hadn’t noticed it yet, but I felt it in the sharp bones of her shoulders, pressing into my arms when I hugged her. I swore under my breath and gathered everyone in the bedroom.“Okay, so,” I started a little winded, “from now on we stick together until it’s time to hide otherwise we can easily get picked off, or lose each other.”,“Why don’t we just wait for the bastard who is doing this and just mess him up,” Krissie suggested, “because in horror movies that’s the number one issue no one tries to gang up on the killer till they are all dead.”.“I don’t think the killer is human that’s why.”I admitted, a little skeptical myself.“Well judging by how quickly he was dragged up the stairs, and based on how big of a guy Pat was if a person were to drag him up the stairs it would take more than 30 seconds. The first night was the hardest.
We needed to get moving.“I say we go through the open door before it disappears,” Becca offered, “There seem to be more doors to choose from.”.“True,” I agreed, “but there is also less hiding spaces which would mean we would have to open another door in hopes of finding more, which could be risky.” As soon as I finished that thought the alarm went off. I was distraught.
