"H-Hey don't close the door!" I yelled thinking it was the taller boy who seemed like he didn't even like or trust me. I ran to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge and the push bar for the door seemed like it was stuck.
"Hey can one of you open the door, this isn't funny!" I yelled setting the bags down trying to push the door before I heard the growling sound again, I turned around shining the light down the stairs trying to see if I was going crazy or if something was really watching me.
I turned back towards the door when I didn't hear anything and started slamming my body as hard as I could against the door knowing I was still too weak. I was exhausted and didn't know what to do until the door opened and the smaller boy popped his head from behind the door.
"H-Hey is everything okay? We heard a slight banging and screaming" The boy said as I pushed the door open and further and ran out of the stairway and looked behind me.
"I-Its nothing I must just have a fear of the dark" I mumbled to myself as I reach to grab the back before glancing down the stairs again wondering if it really was my imagination.
"By the way who closed the door and held it shut?" I asked as I closed the door handing the smaller male one of the lighter bags.
"What are you talking about? We were both in the room the entire time looking over the paperwork... We heard you screaming faintly and then slamming so he asked me to go check on you." The smaller boy said as I glanced towards the hallway seeing the taller boy walking towards up with some files.
"Why were you screaming like a mad man? Did you find someone else here or something?" He asked as I shook my head and fixed the strap over my shoulder and closed the door.
"No, the only trace of a person I found was a dead man like he was hiding in a closet." I mumbled as the smaller male made a small gasping sound and covered his mouth as he looked down.
"The only other person here is dead? Did you check the other floors?" The taller boy asked as he crossed his arms curiously like he was doubting me.
"No, I only checked the first floor, I found clothes and some food and water we could use right now.... But it was strange he looked mummified" I whispered the last part as I tried recalling the body before shaking my head and made sure I had all the bags and closed the door behind me.
"Anyway did you two find anything interesting?" I asked looking at the files as he held them up.
"It has our photos in them, we haven't looked at the files yet because we wanted to wait for you before doing anything" The smaller boy says as he takes my hand and pulls me with them.
"We did find a bigger room and set up the beds so we can stay together. I don't trust any of you just yet" The taller boy says crossing his arms and walks ahead of us.
I sighed and held the smaller boy's hand and we walked to the room and set the bags down on the counter. I looked through them and handed the clothes and shoes to the both of them so they could change into something other than the hospital gown. The smaller boy moved to the bathroom to see if the water worked and to our surprise it was still running. I glanced around the room as the other two cleaned off and got changed in the clothes I brought back with me.
"Why are my clothes less and more feminine?" The smaller boy asked as he looked up at me with a cute frown.
"Everything was way bigger or female clothes... we can go back together tomorrow and see if we can find anything else you might like" I say as he only nods and climbs in the bed and wraps himself in the blankets.
"I don't like the thought of wearing clothes others wore before me but I guess it can't be helped" The red head mumbles and looks through the snacks before grabbing one and looks at the younger boy who only nodded and held his hands up to catch the snack being tossed his way.
"Yeah but I guess it works until we leave the hospital. We have to find out what happened eventually." I say as I grab a bottle of water and sit on the bed and glances at the files.
"I'm not going to leave... who knows what's out there, the hospital might be the safest place" He says as he notices me glancing at them and grabs them tossing them on the bed and sits down with us.
"You both have a point but eventually we will run out of food and whatever killed the staff or even the man in the closet could still be here. I would vote to leave the hospital." The smaller boy says as he nibbles the snack and looks up at me as I nod and sigh picking up one of the files.
"Anyway first let's find out who we are and why we were admitted in the hospital" I say opening the first file seeing the younger boys photo clipped to the top of the page.
"Ok I guess you first shorty" The red head says, crossing his arms and leaning back against the wall.
"So it looks like your name is Sora you are 19 years old.... It doesn't look like it has a reason for why you were in the hospital" I say handing the file to him as he looked through it.
"It looks like it was just exhaustion and I passed out" He says and smiles mumbling his name softly to himself.
"You don't even look like a Sora though" the taller male says and crosses his arms as he picks up the next file laughing softly as he looks at it seriously.
"I guess names don't suit us well huh? My name is Kaito and I am 20 years old... I guess the attitude stuck with the memory loss , but I got into a fight." He says sighing softly as I grab the last file wondering what it would say about me.
"So Sora and Kaito? It suits you both actually" I say with a small laugh and looks at my file as I see the photo of myself brushing my finger along it.
"My name is Riku and I am 20 years old... I was a coma patient due to a car accident. It says I have no living relatives" I say and frown gripping the form tighter until it was crumpled in my hands.
"Wait how long does it say you were in a coma?" Kaito asked as he looked at his form seriously.
"It says its been about 3 months" I say questioningly as I look up at him who frowned
"I was also admitted 3 months ago" Sora chimed in and looked at Kaito who ruffled his hair in annoyance.
"So was I... this can't be a coincidence, unless everyone up and died three months ago or we were brought here for something" Kaito says tossing his papers against the wall.
"I didn't want to say this but when I was in the stairway I felt like I was being watched and I kept hearing a growling sound... And even Sora said when he woke up he was hearing the same sounds. Hell you didn't even wake up in a hospital bed Kaito! Instead you were surrounded and barricaded in." I say standing up and watching him closely
"So if anyone should be suspicious or being questioned it should be you! I mean it makes no sense if we were hospitalized and woke up in the bed that means when all that happened to cause the blood you were awake!" I say glaring at him as he only looked at me confused.
"You really think I am able to barricade myself against the wall and then throw myself in a hospital gown trying to help you guys find who you were as well as myself!? Why would I bother going through the trouble Riku!" He yelled back as Sora stood up moving against the corner of the room as he watched.
"It just makes no sense! If I was in a coma for 3 months and Sora he could have hit his head against the ground and seriously hurt his head! You were only in a fight and woke up in the hallway where dried blood was scattered like a mass murder!" I screamed back at him as he moved closer to me, grabbing me by the collar and glared down at me. I looked up at him, my eyes not leaving him.
"S-Stop! Both of you stop!" Sora screams and moves between us and looks at the both of us.
"It's true we didn't know who we were when we woke up and in an abandoned hospital on top of that... But the important thing is we somehow survived a mass murder. We don't even know why it's so silent outside either so we only have each other so... please stop fighting" Sora says as tears started falling down his cheek. He sniffled and covered his face to hide the fact he was crying.
I stared at Sora and slapped Kaito's hands off of me as he ran my fingers through my hair before grabbing a flashlight and leaving the room. Kaito didn't say anything but I could hear him knock things over. The echo of him hitting and kicking the wall were heard until I stopped at the stairway door staring at it. I glanced back towards the direction the other two were at before looking back at the door and opening it, turning the flashlight on.
Right away I could hear the growling and could feel eyes on me. It made me shiver but I wanted to examine the body one more time. I stepped a foot through the door and looked around shining the flashlight everywhere to be sure I was really alone.
