Someone turned on their phone torchlight and shone it on Kayla's face. “ Oh! Thank God, ” the person said with a breath of relief. Dante stared at the person and called,“ Elvis? ” “ It's just our classmates, ” Elvis said with a less anxious look on his face. Maya and Josh moved closer to where Elvis stood and showed a sign of relief after seeing Seon Hye, Owen, Dante, and Kayla. “ How did you guys escape? ” Maya asked. “ Long story, what about you guys? We thought the concierge had already turned everyone into monsters” Dante replied. “ No, the four of us managed to escape, actually we were five, but she died” Josh replied. “ The four of you? ” Seon Hye, Kayla, Owen, and Dante asked simultaneously. “ Yes it's me, Josh, Elvis, and Emily… ” Maya replied as she pointed at herself, Josh and Elvis, then realization just hit her, and she asked,“ where's Emily? ” “ Emily was with us a while ago,” Elvis said as they looked around. “You don't think she? ” Josh said and Maya shook her head vigorously,“ oh no! She might be up there, we have to save her”, gesturing for Josh and Elvis to follow her. Josh, Elvis, nodded and followed her. “ Wait we will help you guys” Kayla said “ Yes we will,” Owen and Dante said. Seon Hye grabbed Kayla's hand and said,“ no we can't help them, we have people we want to save too”, Kayla forcefully pulled her hand away from his grip and turned to face him,“ they are okay, Emily needs help, and we must help”. “ Look why would Emily stay back if she wanted to live in the first place, she doesn't want to be saved” Seon Hye replied. “ Aren't you guys going to stop them? ” Elvis asked Owen and Dante. “ oh no you wouldn't want to do that” they both replied “How can you be so insensitive? What makes you think that she stayed back deliberately? ” Kayla asked Seon Hye. ' Did Emily really stay back on purpose? ' Maya pondered. “ I'm not being insensitive I'm being reasonable here, and you should too, everyone here should” Seon Hye retorted “ We are helping them and that's the end of this discussion, ” Kayla half yelled. “ For God's sake both of you stop it, those things up there are really sensitive to sound and if you yell one more time they will definitely find us” Josh warned, but Kayla and Seon Hye only lowered their voices and continued with their argument. They all facepalmed. “ What makes you think you have the right to dictate when this discussion ends, or whether it ends at all? ” Seon Hye said, calmly, folding his arm in front of his chest. “ Oh! Well fuck it! You're not our leader, so you don't get to dictate either” Kayla replied sharply and Seon Hye kept quiet for a while then sighed and said,“ *scoffs* there's no use trying to reason with someone like you” “ We don't have time for this, Josh, Elvis, let's go” Maya said as she walked back towards the stairs with Josh and Elvis following her. “ We aren't forcing you to come, you can go to the third floor yourself” Kayla said to Seon Hye, then she gestured for Owen and Dante to follow her, Owen was a bit hesitant, but he followed anyway.
*** Maya, Josh, Elvis,Kayla, Owen and Dante slowly climbed the stairs to the seventh floor. Kayla peeked to see, she couldn't really see anything because it was dark. “I can't hear anything,” Kayla whispered. “ There were no monsters on this floor,” Maya said. “ Alright let's go” Kayla said as they stealthily climbed the stairs leading to the Eighth floor. Kayla shone her torchlight and spotted Emily, shone it on Emily's face, so she could notice they were there but no, she didn't even look at them, she was just going further away from where they were, Maya was about to go in, but Kayla stopped her and whispered,“something is wrong” *** At the Eighth floor… Emily didn't know what she was doing, it's like something's controlling her movements, 'why am I back here? ' She thought with fear in her eyes. Lucky for her, the Draugr didn't notice her presence. She wanted to use this opportunity to run, but she couldn't, her body wasn't responding. ' Shit! ' She mentally cursed,' someone, please help me,' Something odd occurred, all the draugrs surrounded her with hungry looks on their faces, she still couldn't move, she tried her best, but she just couldn't. When she turned to look at the corner, she saw a draugr dressed in the cleaner's clothing standing there with a creepy grin on its face. ' Don't tell me it's this motherfucker that is doing this to me,' she thought. “ They are surrounding her,” Maya said “ I … I don't know what to do,” Kayla mumbled. Kayla quickly stood on her feet and said, “ the only way to get their attention of Emily is to distract them” “ We will distract them then” Josh and Elvis said simultaneously. “ are you sure? ” she asked and they nodded. “Ones we've gotten all their attention, you and Maya will save Emily” Josh suggested. “ Alright but be careful” Kayla said, Josh and Elvis walked to the hallway, and Josh yelled“ Hey assholes, why have one meal when you can have two free delicious meals like us” “ Dude seriously? The fuck, are you talking about? ” Elvis asked Josh and he shrugged. But it didn't work, the Draugrs didn't move an inch, they had their eyes on Emily. Josh looked back at Kayla and whispered,“ it's not working” and Kayla sighed,“ try again” . Josh nodded and was about to yelled again, but he stopped when he noticed Elvis was staring at something. “ Elvis, what's wrong? ” He asked,“ dude we have to go” Elvis mouthed and pointed at the Draugr standing at the end of the hallway, it was dressed in a cleaners clothing with a creepy grin on its face. When they were about to run, some kind of force pulled them back and slammed their bodies onto the wall behind them. And that's when the other Draugrs noticed their presence. Out of the many Draugrs surrounding Emily, three of them growled angrily and charged towards Josh and Elvis. “ Owen, Dante, light yours now” Kayla ordered, Owen and Dante did exactly what she asked them to do. Kayla was about to collect the bottles, but Dante refused to give it to her, and said, “ save Emily we will help Josh and Elvis,” as he gave her the lighter and stood up. “ Come on Owen” Dante said, but Owen didn't stand, actually he couldn't, he crouched on the stairs while shivering in fear. “ Are we really doing this? ” Owen stuttered, with a frightened look. “ Get the fuck-up Owen, if we don't save them they will die, just throw that bottle at anyone who tries to bite you” Dante said. “ But I'm not a good thrower” Owen mumbled, looking away. “ Bullshit, Owen, if we don't save them now we will be next on the menu for those monsters and if that happens we won't be able to save your sisters” Dante said, Owen almost forgot why he was doing this in the first place, he nodded slowly and stood up with the bottle in his hands. Dante smiled. Dante and Owen ran towards Josh and Elvis, they both stood firm in front of Josh and Elvis, waiting for the Draugrs to come closer. “ Ready?” Dante whispered,' I'm scared, but I must do this or else I might not see my sisters again' Owen thought, he breathed in and out, and stared at the Draugrs charging towards them using the light from the bottle in his and Dante's hands' from what I'm seeing they are three, and we are only two, if we throw at those two what will happen to the third one? ' They finally approached them, Dante and Owen, threw their bottles, and it hit two of the Draugrs the two Draugrs were quickly engulfed in fire. The third Draugr ran from behind the ones on fire and tried to attack Owen,' yeah I should have known it was going to attack me,' he thought while staring at it as it jumped.
