"And this room," Jake said stopping in front of an old room, it was pure white, white walls, white floors, white ceiling, even the bed was white. The walls and floors looked like they were padded. "This is the rubber room. The patient held here suffered from schizophrenia. He was extremely violent and attacked many other prisoners. His name was Michael Wolfgang."
"Whoa, Leo isn't that your last name?" Chase asked.
Leo nodded, "Yea, but that's also my middle name. My full name is Leonardo Michael Wolfgang." he explained.
"He was named after our great great grandpa. I didn't know he was in a mental asylum tho." Stacey explained.
"That's crazy!" Jake exclaimed.
Suddenly Chase froze, all the color draining from his face.
"Oh c'mon baby, you aren't really that scared are you?" A female voice called out from behind Chase, as a pair of smooth, ashy dark arms wrapped around his shoulders.
"Dreya?!" Chase asked turning around to see his girlfriend, Andrea.
"That's me!" She giggled as the group turned to look at her, a dirty blonde girl stood behind her. "Oh and I brought Megan." she said pointing to the other girl, Megan.
Megan looked rough, her usually neat hair was messy, she looked like death. Heavy bags under her eyes as if she hadn't slept since the camping trip, her hair greasy and messy like she didn't shower much.
"Damn you look like shit." Leo said to Megan hoping to make her smile.
Megan just hummed and walked over to Jake hugging him, Jake hugged her back and kissed her forehead.
"I don't think she'll talk much..." Jake said, looking down at his girlfriend.
Just as Jake lifted his head to get back to the door, Megan gasped and teared up looking down the hall.
"Megs?" Jake asked.
Before anyone could react Megan bolted down the hall, she clearly saw something, it almost looked like she was chasing someone. Jake and the rest of the group quickly ran after her, and after running for what felt like hours, they saw her. She was hugging a young girl while sobbing.
"Marrissa?!" Gwen and Stacey yelled out at the same time.
The young girl in Megan's arms lifted her head and waved slightly.
"H-how?! You d-died!" Megan cried hugging her sister.
"I did, I did." Marrissa said.
"So then you're a ghost?" Gwen asked.
Marrissa nodded, "that's what it seems."
"Then why are you here? Shadow Hill is like two hours from where you...ya know." Chase asked confused.
"I don't really know myself, I just remember feeling pain in my head, then everything going black, next thing I knew I was here. As a ghost." Marrissa explained.
"How do you know you're a ghost?" Jake asked. "You could have been like teleported here or something."
"No no, I was that sacrifice remember. I'm 100% dead, plus I can walk through walls and I met other ghosts." Marrissa explained.
The group nodded, that was fair. But why would she end up here?
"But you guys need to leave, it's not safe for you here. If you stay any longer you'll-" Marrissa started.
"They'll die?" Another voice spoke cutting her off, before giggling. "Oh how very right you are, they should have listened to the short boy over there when he warned them." the voice said pointing to Chase.
Everyone froze, Leo's heart was racing, while Jake felt chills run down his spine. Jake quickly moved to stand in front of Megan protecting her, while Leo stood in front of Christine and Stacey, Chase stood in front of Andrea, and Ralph moved in front of his younger sister, Riley. Leo quickly turned to the sound of the voice seeing an older woman. Her long black hair flowed behind her, framing her old wrinkled face.
"Who are you?" Jake yelled out.
"Oh right right, pardon me." The lady giggled, she was almost floating off the ground. "My name is Celine." she said giving a curtsey.
Marrissa rolled her pale ghostly eyes. "God Celine you know you really don't scare anyone."
"Nope, she definitely scares me!" Chase yelled.
Marrissa shook her head, "Of course she does you're scared of everything. But I promise this old hag can't hurt you. She's not that kind of ghost." she explained. "But that don't mean she won't try, I mean I guess she's scary when mad." she shrugged.
Celine glared at Marrissa, "Oh shut your mouth, you're just a little brat. You're always whining about how you wanna go home and how you never should have gone camping blah blah blah. We've all had it worse than you! We're stuck here reliving the nightmares we went through in this asylum in our lives, before we died!" she shouted.
The room grew silent, the words of the older lady clearly striking a nerve. Not a single sound could be heard, like everything and everyone was holding its breath.
Leo recognizing the signs of danger quickly jumped into action. "We need to leave, NOW!" He said sternly.
"No! I'm not leaving without Rissa!" Megan shouted, pulling her arm away from Jake as he tried to grab her.
Jake frowned and grabbed her shoulders, "Babe, we need to leave. It's not safe here." he said.
Megan shook her head, she refused to leave her younger sister.
"Megan, you need to go, I have to stay here, I can't leave." Marrissa explained, but before anyone else could react, a loud screech echoed through the whole building. "Shit! You guys really need to leave, you have about five minutes before that thing finds you." Marrissa shouted.
"Thing? What do you mean by thing!?" Chase shouted, fear filling his voice.
"It's some kind of monster, it'll kill you! Whatever it is, it was a patient here, and not a very nice one!" Marrissa shouted, urgency filling her voice.
If they only had five minutes to get out of here, then they had to move fast. The clock was ticking. Leo jumped into action, being the strongest, he quickly grabbed Megan throwing her over his shoulder. Before bolting after Jake, towards the entrance. Everyone quickly ran after them, no one wanted to find out what that "thing" was, or meet that it.
