One
“Jaden” a voice called “Jaden Kaylana, where are you?” it was a man calling to me. I didn’t know where he was, or where I was for that matter. It was dark, I couldn’t see my own hand in front of my face. I took a small step back hitting a wall, it was cold concrete. I moved my hands along the wall when I ran into a cobweb. I wanted to scream. But held my breath and wiped it off on my jeans.
“What’s wrong Jaden?” the man said “Don’t like cobwebs?”
“Who are you and what do you want” I exclaimed stepping forwards away from the spiders.
“You’ll find out when the time is right” He said, this time he was closer to me though, I could here his footsteps as he came up behind me. “Why so worried Jaden” He said putting his hands on my shoulders.
“Get off of me” I yelled.
“Hey no need to shout” he whispered in my ear.
“Get away from me” I said elbowing him in the side, I heard him let out a breath as I hit him. I took this chance to run, but I didn’t make it very far, I ran into something hard with pointed corners. I ran my hands along it when I realized what it was; a coffin.
“Oh my god” I whispered backing up and running into another one. I screamed.
“Keep it down Jade, we don’t want to wake them” He said standing close to me again.
“Where am I?” I asked trying to sound calm.
“In the coffin room, where everyone sleeps” He explained “One day you’ll have a coffin of your own”
“When I’m 90 something” I said starting to run again, I needed to get away from him.
I ran as fast as I could, trying to avoid what I couldn’t see when I ran right into the man. I fell backwards on my butt. The ground was cold and hard, probably concrete like the walls. My wrist began to sting, it felt as if I had scrapped it.
“Ouch” I whispered.
“Don’t worry you’re not bleeding” he said pausing for a second “yet”
I gasped and struggled to get up. When I tried to stand I ended up falling down again, I sprained my ankle or something, because I just couldn’t stand up.
“You should really just sit and calm down” He said smiling, I couldn’t see it, but I knew he was smiling and it was an evil smile too.
I sighed and sat up. “what do you want with me?”
“Just to bring you to my side” He said with a laugh. I felt his hands on my shoulders again and his warm breath on my neck.
“No!” I yelled as I punched him in the face with my other hand, I could hear the crunching of bone when I hit his nose, I didn’t know if it was my bone or his that was breaking, and I didn’t care. I jumped up and gasped because my ankle still hurt, but started to run. I ran into more coffins, but I didn’t let them stop me. All of a sudden while I was running, I hit a wall. I was a little shocked, but shook it off. I moved along the cold concrete hoping to find a door.
“It’s no use” He said coming towards me. “Even if you do find the door you are mine” Then he laughed. A horrible evil laugh that made me shutter.
I ignored him and continued looking for the door. I finally found it, but I couldn’t get it open. I jiggled the doorknob a few times, I pulled on it, I tried everything. I began to get even more panicked tears starting to form burning in my eyes.
“Shit” I whispered, about to give up when the door opened. I wiped away the tears and ran through to a hall way partially lit by torches, but the light didn’t last long, as the man got closer the torches began to go out. I began to run again, straight down the hall not looking back. I refused to become his.
