Tired

While I was desperately trying to force my worn-out body to move

I could hear their steps getting closer and closer to where I was

*thump* thump*

My heart was racing so fast that I could hear it beating...

"Shit...I'm so fucked..." I mumbled under my breath

The cold floor brushed against my face as I dragged myself forward when suddenly a large hand grabbed my injured leg

"YOU MUST COME WITH US!"

Both the woman and the man yelled while the other somewhat bulky man began tightening his grip around my ankle

The excruciating pain made me burst into tears

"AAAAGH!! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! DAMN IT!" I cried out

I bit my lip and tried to sink my cracked nails into the hard ground

Nothing seemed to work as the man dragged me towards him

Streaks of tears started rolling my cheeks as I begged them to leave me alone

'This can't be happening...it hurts so much...why must shit like this always happen to me...-

All of my senses started to blur because of the gut-wrenching pain

I started to feel like I could lose consciousness at any point now...

I was still lying on the floor while the woman was pointing her flashlight at my face

It was hard to see but before my eyes could adjust to this sudden shift in light-

The bulky man grabbed me by the back of my neck and started to drag me towards the gate while the woman and the man followed behind

I instantly grabbed his hand and tried to push it away, I attempted to sink my nails into his hand, and despite the hand being behind my point of view, I could feel a trickle of blood flowing from his hand...

Despite all this, the man didn't even flinch

It was as if he couldn't feel anything...

It was weird certainly but I didn't care anymore

I started screaming at him

"Leave me you son of a **** let me go right this instant!! Who even are you people and why have you abducted me like this!? Let me go you *****"

But my effort was all useless, he was twice the size of me, and seemed to have some sort of absurd grip

I had a rapid realization that with a grip as strong as his, he could snap my neck like a twig if he wanted to...

So I decided to quietly let myself be dragged across the floor and started to think of all the possible solutions to get out of this situation

'I don't have much of a choice anyway! As soon as they shift their attention to something else I'll take that chance to escape!'

But I seemed to have forgotten a very important factor

'Escape? With a foot as bad as this?! I am so screwed'

*sigh*

Since I was deep in thought when I looked around I realized we are already at the entrance of the kitchen

Then suddenly my attention was turned toward the two people carrying a flashlight

My eyes finally adjusted to the dim light even though I was on the verge of losing consciousness I could easily see the woman and the person next to her

They both were wearing rather familiar clothes...

'How odd'

Their faces were expressionless and like they were staring into an endless void...

It was a sort of eerie feeling

Like they were almost human but something was missing

'Like a conscious mind!?'

What rubbish, of course, they're conscious they just abducted me!...

I decided not to think much about it but their mindless stare put me off...

After a couple of minutes of being dragged around, I realized that we were finally in the reception hall

So far I had zero opportunities to escape...

After reaching the reception hall I realized that it was much brighter here as the moon glistened through the windows

Only after my eyes adjusted well to the surroundings did it strike me...

why did I find their clothes oddly familiar?!

Because they were wearing the uniforms of the resort staff!

Both of them!

I didn't remember it well before because I had not met the staff a lot of times before...

I tried to look at the bulky man's clothes but he wasn't wearing any uniform

I was trying to put together these weird pieces of information in my head

'is the hotel staff involved in what happened to Fay?..'

'they did not have any reaction when they saw her unnatural body lying on the floor'

'like they already knew what is happening '

it did not take long for me to notice their faces under the moonlight

'Wait...Isn't that... the receptionist? And the guy next to her the bell boy?'

I was extremely disturbed to see these familiar people who obviously had something to do with the disappearance of my friends and what happened to Fay...

Recognizing them fueled my suppressed anger

And it all burst out at once!

"WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO MY FRIENDS!!"

As anger took possession of me I started to vigorously shake my body in hopes of freeing myself

I knew that they were capable of answering my questions!

'I was not going to let of this opportunity!'

"YOU FUCKERS!!- AAH!-"

The burly man fastened his grip around my neck

Almost made me unable to breath

"Aagh! *cough* cough* "

I grabbed his hand and started helplessly hitting him to let me go

*cough* cough*

I grit my teeth and struggled until I could no longer move

He released my neck before I could lose consciousness...

"*gasp* *gasp* *cough* you...*cough* you..fucker...*cough*"

Before I could stabilize my breathing the man grabbed me by my nape again and started dragging me across the floor towards the entrance

At this point I'm losing my mind I tried to wiggle and hit him again and again

"Let me go! Let me go you ****! Damn it!!!"

My energy was depleted fairly quickly and the exhaustion and pain crushed me

I didn't even have the energy to utter a word

I was slowly starting to lose consciousness and as my surroundings started to blur I realized we were finally at the entrance when a cold breeze blew as it caressed my half-naked body

It was chilly enough to send shivers down my spine

As I was continually being dragged from the entrance I noticed something was off-

The ground outside had a reddish brown pigment in it

'It wasn't like this before!'

Confused by this I unknowingly noticed something even stranger

"The sky! Why is it like that?"

The moon was slowly disappearing and the mist of colorful clouds started to surround the vast skies

It was phenomenal to witness and I was bewitched by the beautiful spectacle

So what is this dreadful feeling overtaking my mind

"Have I finally gone insane?"

'This isn't something that should happen...'

"This is not normal...*gulp*" I mumbled

But to my surprise, these people didn't even flinch at the sight of something so bizarre...

What is up with these people?!

They continued to drag me towards who knows what without saying anything

It was odd

They didn't say a thing to each other the whole time...

Not when I screamed profanities, nor when I tried to escape from the man...

'Their behavior is so strange...'

"Where are you guys taking me?!"

Again no answer-

It's pointless to question these idiots...

*sigh*

"This is so tiring..."

I gave up trying to understand the situation I was in

And just stared at the unusual magnificence of the ever-changing colors of the clouds in the sky

For some absurd reason even though there was no sign of a moon or sun

It was bright enough to make the flashlight useless

After a few minutes, I could see an unusual cave-like structure a few feet away...

'How weird that wasn't here before...it's like the whole terrain has been remade...'

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a scream

"AAAGHHH!!"

it sounded like it came from the cave...
