Game Over, Round Two

"Where are you?"

I can hear her voice starting to come from down the hall. I look at the robed person waiting for them to answer me.

"Why are you helping me?"

They stood there, hood covering their face, you can't see anything under their hood. They turn there back to me and walks into a dark corner and stands there.

"Where are you? Times almost up!"

I look around trying to find somewhere to go. I decided I would climb up into the ceiling again and try to evade her for a little bit more up there. I pull up a chair that was flipped over, I stand in it and climb into the ceiling. I can still see the robed person in the corner.

The door burst open, slamming into the wall behind it. You can feel the force from the door shake the room.

"Where are you?"

She walks into the room and stands there for a few seconds. I sit above trying not to move, the ceiling in this area seemed unsteady. I can still see the person standing in the corner and the girl looking around as if she doesn't see him. Suddenly, she looks up and I make eye contact with her for a brief second.

"You can't hide from me."

She turns around and walks out of the room leaving the door wide open. I take a breather before I start to crawl through the ceiling again. Before I go, I look down to see if the robed person was there but they disappeared.

"Who the hell is that?"

I start to crawl through the ceiling looking for a way down. I don't know how long it's been but it feels like it's been at least an hour. I continue crawling, I hear the footsteps from the girl from under me. She doesn't say anything this time, she just walks in silent. I stop crawling so I can let her pass.

"Fetch me the human"

I don't hear anything for a second. I am confused who she could be talking to as it was only me and her, occasionally the robed person when they want to show themselves. Just then, I hear a growl coming from underneath me. I freeze trying to make out the sound, what could it be? It can be anything here.

"Find him, and bring him to me"

I wait for a few more seconds. I can hear her walk away, but I also hear claws tapping the floor as if they are running. I realize now I have much more to deal with. Not only do I have to deal with hiding from her, I have to deal with hiding from a dog as well.

"Shit, you've got to be kidding me."

I wait in the ceiling hoping that by waiting I can give myself a pretty good distance between them and myself. I hear the tapping of nails coming back towards me, I sit there waiting and then a black dog jumps into the ceiling breaking through the sheetrock. It falls back down to the floor, I can see the hallway clearly as the girl is standing, looking into the hole. Her eyes now pitch black, her body grown taller, bugs climbing into her mouth and in her skin.

"Found you!"

Her masculine voice rips through the air, piercing my ears. I crawl away as fast as I can but the dog jumps back into the ceiling and starts running towards me. I try to kick but I miss. The dog jumps on me, I try to fight it off butt he locks onto my arm. I scream in pain as his teeth sink deeper and deeper into my skin.

"Help!"

I struggled trying to fight off the dog as the ceiling beneath us collapsed. I hit the floor back first as the dog stay on top of me, teeth sinking into my flesh. I roll over pinning the dog to the floor, trying to open its jaw from my arm. I can hear footsteps quickly approaching the door. I manage to loosen the grip of the dog, getting my arm out but the wounds were too deep. I lost feeing in my arm.

I try to run but the dogs quickly gets up and before it can jump to bite me the robed person kicks the dog into the door.

They grab me and pull me into the robe. The door flings open, the girl stands there looking in. She's looking as if she can't see us. She takes a few steps in, I can feel her icy cold breath against my lips. Clearly frustrated, she grabs her dog and slams the door on the way out, shaking the whole room we were in. I force myself from the grasp of the robed person.

"Get off of me, who are you and why are you helping me?" I demanded "I appreciate the help, this shit is crazy but who are you?"

The robed person didn't say a word. They opened the door and walked out and turned into the hallway, I chase after them but they already vanished. Instead of chasing them, I decide to run the opposite way. I run down the hall and it's a dead end with a single door that's wide open. I stop running and walk slowly to the door. I peer in and the only thing in there an ouija board that sitting on the floor.

"Why is that here? What is this?"

I walk closer to the board as the door behind me slams shut. My body jumps but for some reason my focus is on the board. I walk over and sit next to it. The robed person appears from the shadows and sits on the floor next to the board. The planchette lays directly next tot he board. The robed person grab the planchette and places it on the board and holds it with 2 fingers.

"Do you want me to play?"

The robed person says nothing, they just look at the board. I put out my 2 fingers and place it on the planchette. We sit there, neither of us saying anything. The planchette moves to "Hi."

"Um, hello?"

The planchette then moves to the letter "A" then to the letter "G" the letter "R" the letter "E" the letter "A" and the letter "S"

I looked at the robed person

"Is that your name?"

The planchette glides over to "Yes"

The robed person then lift their head, I can see underneath the hood. They looked like a pale old man, wrinkles under his eyes, he looks as if he was sick. He looked back down at the board

"Can you speak?"

The planchette glides to "Yes"

"Then why don't you speak?"

The door behind me starts to open and I look over my shoulder. I can see the girl standing there in the doorway.

"You win!"

I take my fingers off the board and spin around to the girl.

"I won?"

"Yes! And as a reward for winning I'll give you a hint."

A hint? For what?"

I look at the girl confused. I don't know what's going on anymore, I start to stand up but the robed man grabs my back down.

"Don't play the ouija board."

My eyes widen, I am shocked, I can feel the blood rushing to my head

"What do you mean? I was using it just now."

The girl giggled and shrugged her shoulders. Her voice was back to normal but she had a more menacing aura around her.

"Oh well, now you have to deal with Agreas the duke of demons"

I spun around almost give it myself whiplash. My body fills with fear, my heart is about to beat out of my chest. I can feel the blood pumping through my veins from the anxiety I felt. The man looked at me, taking the hood off and smiling at me. Smiling a menacing smile, teeth showing, eyes blackened.

"Foolish human, I only wanted to you with you. Humans are so easy to manipulate, you help them and they think you're a good guy, and to se stour face when you realize I only wanted you're energy from the board so you can open a portal."

The room filled with demonic laughter. The girl walks away closing the door behind her. I run tot he door but I can't get it open. The room starts to change appearance, the floors start to turn to stone, the walls oozing blood, the atmosphere feeing heavy on my as if a boulder is on my shoulders.

"What do you want with me?" I scream out

He ignores me as gust of winds fill the room. Small insects start to crawl on the walls and on the floors. The door vanishes as there is nothing but fire all behind me. The floor starts to heat up, melting the skin from my hand.

"It's time for the real game to begin."
