Lost Raconda

Season 1 Episode 5: Caught In A Trap

Alex,Corey,Danielle, Emma and Fredrick made it upstairs. Danielle shouted "where's Devin?!" they saw Devin rushing up, he screamed "GO NOW!" They all took off down the hallway! Devin could feel the stairs vibrating and feeling like they were about to give he muttered "shit.." to himself. He made it to the top, and leaped into the room crashing on the floor! He looked behind him and those things were rushing up the staircase. Devin pulled out his gun ready to shoot, but ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STAIRS GAVE OUT AND THE CREATURES WENT CRASHING BACK TO THE GROUND FLOOR! He heard them all shrieking and yelping in pain. Danielle and Alex rushed over. Danielle asked in panic  "are you ok?!" Devin between breaths replied "I'm..fine it's ju..." but was cut off when Danielle cried  "what on earth is THAT?!" Alex and Devin looked where she was staring. There was something clinging onto the walls in the corner of the hallway, just against the ceiling. Danielle fired at it, but it dodged and jumped out the window. Devin barked "Dani you're no good with that thing! Give it to someone else" Alex said "shut up Devin, what was that thing??" Danielle shakily said "I don't know, but it didn't l..look like those things downstairs.." Corey,Emma and Fredrick came over. Devin said "who cares what it is? We need to find a way out of here now, or we're all dead.." Emma said "guys wait, I don't hear that whispering noise anymore.." Alex proposed "that..thing..must have been what was causing it then" Devin reiterated "did you guys hear me? It doesn't fucking matter. How are we getting out of here? We can't go down the stairs, they're gone" Alex responded "we'll figure it out, and get off the floor Dev. This place is old as hell, we don't know what kind of diseases we could get.." Alex put her hand out to help Devin up, but he whacked her hand away and stood up himself. He yelled "diseases?! We were almost mauled alive! By creatures that looked straight out of a nightmare! With many teeth and sharp as fuck claws! Blocked in by a ghost lady,saw some ape-looking creature jump out of a fucking window, and got trapped upstairs. Yet you're worried..about the..DECAY OF AN OLD FUCKING BUILDING?!" Alex replied in a low voice "I'm aware Devin, one of them got me in the leg.." she then pulled up the left leg of her pants, and showed a huge claw mark. 5 long lines across her leg. Corey shakily said "Jesus Alex..we need to get you back to safety..that looks horrible" Devin said "all the more reason for us to hurry up, and figure out how to get out of here" Alex through pain said "I don't think it scratched very deep...also Dev we would..have been out of h..here, if you didn't delay us saying 'we should check the other rooms'" Devin countered "everything is always my fault isn't it? We could have had those rooms searched Al, if you weren't having a meltdown. You probably drawed those things to us. What happened to your leg is on you not me, what's happening now is on you not me. Blame me for getting us here go ahead I'll take that, but this? Isn't my fault Alex..learn to take some accountability for fuck sake.."  Emma interjected "will you both just stop? We can go round and round at who did what, but can we at least do it not standing in front of where those things are probably going to come from? And besides I think they already knew we were here.." Corey asked "what makes you say that?" Emma replied "the whispering creature, how organised the boxing us in looked. They came right as we were about to go, it looked planned.." Alex said "she's right, she knew we were here..." Devin questioned "she?" Alex said "that ghost lady" Emma questioned "how do you know that?"  Alex said quietly "I just do...now lets go" They all headed down the hallway. Fredrick paused and asked "guys stop do you hear that?" They all listened...the whispering noise was back. Then they heard the screeches of those creatures, and loud thumping coming from the stairwell! Corey screamed "THEY'RE CRAWLING UP THE WALLS RUN!" They all bolted down the hallway! Fredrick fell flat forward, Alex turned around to help him. She saw a few of those crawling creatures down the hall, coming out from the stairwell. She ran towards Fredrick quick to help him up.  Devin shouted "come on sis, don't be stupid!" She grabbed Fredrick while she was still in pain from her leg. Alex uncomfortably blurted "are you ok???"  Fredrick replied "I'm fine, thank you..thank you so much" grateful to be alive right now. The 2 of them ran towards the others, they burst into what seemed to be an office break room......

In the room,was a weird machine of some sort next to the door. Next Devin said "hey Corey, help me with this" They both went over to it and tried pushing it in front of the door...but it wouldn't budge. Corey looked down and saw why, there was some sort of slime and bacteria behind it..that fused the weird machine with the wall. Corey pointed to it, Devin sighed and muttered "God damn it..." Devin looked at Alex and yelled "why the hell did you run back?!" Alex got pissed and said "are you being for real right now? Fredrick fell, I went to save him" Devin extended his arms out angrily motioning 'why' and said "those things were nowhere near Freddy yet. He had all the time in the world. You have a massive gash in your leg. Despite him having shit for brains, he had better odds than you in that situation. Quit being a fucking moron Alex, you're smarter than this.."  Alex yelled "can you quit acting like a military sergeant?! You're just as clueless, and in danger as the rest of us! Get off your fucking high horse Dev! And get off my back we could die in here, you really want to spend most likely our last moments fighting?!" Devin replied "you sound like you've given up already sis, one scratch to the leg and you're done? We are not dying in this abandoned shit hole we have 2 guns, we can have 2 people defending, while the others look for a way for us to get down, and out of here" Danielle nodded and said "I can cover us" Devin countered "nope no way. First of all you can't land a hit on those things, second of all you landed on your ass firing a bullet. You're not used to the kick, give Alex or Corey your gun. And third..I thought you hated guns?" Alex forced herself calm for a moment and said "how else is she going to learn, if you don't give her a chance Dev? It's down a hallway, and there's a lot of them it would be pretty hard to miss. Not to mention by comparison, she has more experience than most of us do" Devin yelled "NO! She's not having a gun. Darling, give Corey here your gun now" Danielle was about to hand it to Corey..then Alex scoffed and said "there it is Dev, plain as day. It's not about the fact..she missed her shots..." Alex walked closer to Devin right in his face, and continued in a low taunting voice "it's that you can't stand the idea of your wife having a gun. You can't stand the idea of her not needing you to protect her, you can't stand the idea of her being able to fend for herself, and you're boiling up with anger right now, because you know I'm right..." Devin shook his head lightly, and said "yeah? Maybe it's you who can't stand other people being happy, making up stories about abuse. You hate the fact I found love before you did. You were always jealous and resentful of people Alex, because you know deep down you're the family embarrassment. For how much of your life you wasted being a pathetic burden to your family..when you used to run away from home as a kid...but you always came back didn't you? Because you knew you couldn't get anywhere in life without us, because you're a waste of skin Alex. I'd have rather had 2 little brothers, but got stuck with you instead.." Alex said nothing in response she just stared, but she was now at boiling point with him.....

Meanwhile Corey opened the door and looked down the hallway, those creatures didn't know where they were. Corey rushed across to the next office but he stopped dead in his tracks...In this office had a massive hole in the wall. He went over to it and looked down it was a long drop......
