The walk to the nurses office seemed to have taken longer than I remember it from going the opposite direction. The air seemed cleaner and better when I got out of the hallway but I could hear the faint sound of the glass being broken on the door. When I looked around the desk I couldn't manage to find a map anywhere I gave up the search after a few moments and grabbed a pen and paper planning to make a map of my own.
I put where the other two were and where we woke up as I placed my current destination. When I looked over what I have so far I nodded in approval and started walking until I found a stairway. When I opened the door the lights flickered like they were about to turn off at any moment but wouldn't give into the defeat of turning off. When I wrote on the map of the stairs I went down them thinking from the most of my memories most of the cafeterias are always on the bottom floor. I was sure to count how many stories I went down on the map until making it to the end I hummed panting softly knowing my stamina still wasn't the best.
I Placed the pen in my mouth as I put both of my hands on the door trying to push it open but it was stuck. I backed up a little bit as I slammed my body weight against the door managing to open the door a little bit. I looked back, feeling another presence close to me or the feeling of being watched but no one was there and it was silent only my own breathing was heard.
"I must be losing it. No one is here and the other two are upstairs looking through paperwork." I whisper to myself as I push on the door with my entire body weight again managing to open it. The sunlight peeked through the cracks making me smile wide as I wiggled my way through the door.
When I managed to get out of the stairwell I looked at the door confused seeing that it was barricaded from the other side with wheelchairs and tables like they were keeping something in the stairwell. I shook my head putting too much thought into it knowing I was the only person there and if I was able to open the door then whatever was in there could have opened it as well.
I looked around and made sure to note on my map that the bottom of the stairs lead to what looked like a waiting room. I took another blank paper and drew where the stairs were and looked around for any signs until I saw one for the cafeteria. Nodding as I went in that direction and marking my map as I went and decided to look for some clothes as well hoping some would be down here.
"Lets see there could be a gift shop on the way or suitcases from whoever was here before" I mumble softly as I peeked in each room noticing they had more blood stains than the hallway we were in.
"I wonder what actually happened here and why we didn't get killed as well" I whispered to myself before finding a room that had doctor coats and supplies in it.
I looked through each of the lockers and found some clothes that I could fit into. I threw off the gown and put on the skinny genes and the long sleeve shirt. I looked more and found some shoes and luckily I found a clean pair of socks that I could wear. I was just happy I was wearing underwear under the gown. I looked in a mirror and noticed how skinny I was and wondered how long I was actually asleep. My hair seemed to have been cut and groomed but it was obvious it's been awhile since it was taken care of.
I sighed and looked around to see if I could find clothes for the other two as well. I managed to find pants, shoes and more clean socks that will fit the taller male I grabbed them and continued to look for the smaller male. I was able to find a back and managed to stuff the clothes in the bag. The only thing I was able to find for the smaller male was a large sweater that seemed to belong to a bigger sized person. I held it against myself and saw how bit it was and knew the other would just be happy to have something other than the gown. I found some boots that the smaller might have been able to fit as well but pants were no option. He was the size of a girl and he would probably be mad if I brought him girl clothes.
I laughed at the thought of him cross dressing and seeing the angry look on his face. Shaking my head I just went with the big sweater dress and the boots stuffing them in the bag as I walked out of the room to continue on my journey to the cafeteria.
Not forgetting to add to the map as I went I still searched some of the rooms for anything we could use. The bottom floor seemed to have been a jackpot of things we could use, I already had two bags of useful things and another empty bag for whatever food and drinks I could find. I finally made it to the cafeteria and noticed the sun started to go down and set. I sighed knowing I took too long and the taller man was probably thinking I ran away by now but little did he know I was finding things we could use so he couldn't be mad when I came back with it all.
When I entered the cafeteria I noticed the windows were being barricaded by the tables and chairs and no food was in sight. I groaned looking through everything before finding a locked door knowing the food had to be locked in there. I set the bags down as I stretched and kicked at the door knowing I couldn't get in any other way. When it wouldn't open that way I grabbed a broken chair leg and hit the doorknob with it until it finally broke to where I can open it. I gasped and jumped back covering my nose when I saw someone was in there, they weren't moving and looked like they were at the start of composing. The smell was awful and unbearable, I moved as far from the door as I could and took a deep breath waiting for the closet to air out at least some of the smell.
I sighed avoiding the closet as much as I could as I searched the other closets grabbing whatever food and drinks I could find. I peeks at the door where the body was and saw he had lots of snacks where he was but I wasn't sure what caused him to die but he has been in there for a few days to have that much smell built up. I sighed leaning against a wall knowing I could carry the things I have now and we can all come back and by then the smell won't be so bad. I creeped closer to grab the bags I left close to the door and grabbed it before hurrying away from it again.
"Ok let's go back and eat with the others, I know they are starving and probably thirsty" I say to myself as I take one last glance at the body before shaking my head as I look back at the mad to remember where the staircase was located.
Walking back to the staircase I saw the sun starting to set, I reached in one of the bags to grab one of the flashlights I managed to find in one of the rooms. I turned in on as I looked back up at the staircase and then back at the map to make sure I wasn't in the wrong one. After confirming with it I started up the staircase but the feeling of being watched was back, I could feel the shiver along my back as I started to just run up the stairs to get away from that feeling.
Knowing I was alone but still having that feeling when I am in the dark stairway made it worse and more scary. A sound of the door being closed on the bottom floor sounded making me stop in my tracks and look behind me shining the flashlight down the stairs. I looked at the floor I was on and saw I just had one more flights of stairs to go up and I would meet the two waiting for me.
Shaking my head I looked back up seeing the little bit of daylight left shine through the open door of the third floor. I sighed and looked behind me one last time as I ran up the stairs being sure not to drop any of the bags I was carrying. I got closer to the door for it to be slammed shut right before I could reach it and leave the room.
