Do Not Enter Room No. 303

Chapter 15

I wanted to scream but I couldn't.
With each passing second, Derek was coming closer to me.
I just shut my eyes and hoped that it was a nightmare.
A nightmare that ends soon.

But there are doors which should be kept closed because when they open, nightmares turn into reality.

I opened my eyes after a minute or so and he was gone.
I sighed and got out of bed.
I couldn't think of a solution.
Fred wasn't ready to leave and I obviously couldn't leave him alone. I knew he needed me and he also loved me a lot.
All that changes in his behaviour were because of this hotel and the weird people here. I don't even know if they are real or dead.

I never wanted to kill Angelica. All that I did was to protect myself.
I still remember that night.
I was in my bed reading a novel. It was 10p.m.
Suddenly I heard my phone ringing.
It was Angelica.
We were really good friends back then.
We two, Derek and Fred were an amazing squad.
We would always hang out together and have so much fun.

I picked up her call.
"Hey Angelica," I said.
"Elsa, can you meet me right now?" She asked.

"Right now? Why? What happened?" I was worried.

"Please don't ask any questions right now. I just need you." She pleaded.

"Okay I'll be there. Where should I come? And did you call Derek?"

"No I didn't call him and I beg of you to not call him either. I'm at the Woodsville Park. Please come fast," she said.

Fred was out of town and I just couldn't help but pray that everything was alright.
I was having all sorts of bad ideas and intuitions regarding what could have happened.
I just put on my jacket and boots and went out. I didn't bother to change my PJs.

It was a fifteen minute drive to the park.
I couldn't see Angelica anywhere.

I strolled through the park and suddenly someone caught my hand. It was her.

"Gosh! Angelica, what happened? Are you okay?"

"I need your help Elsa, come with me," she said and pulled my hand.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I'll tell you everything.. just sit in the car, please!" She said.

We sat in the car and in about twenty minutes we reached an abandoned place.
It was surrounded by heavy forest and the roads were not well built.

"Why are we here?"I asked.

"I have to show you something. Come out of the car."

I stepped out of the car and I saw her, with a knife in her hand.
I gasped.

"Why do you have that knife Angelica?"

"To kill you sweetheart," she said with an evil grin on her face.

"Is this a prank?" I was furious.

"No," was all that she said.

She was walking towards me and I felt really scared.

"What's wrong with you Angelica? Have you lost your mind?"

She let out a chuckle.
"Oh please Elsa! As if you don't know what's wrong. I got into a relationship with Derek just to kill you. To take my revenge," she said.

"Revenge? What did I do?"I asked.

"You took Fred away from me. I loved him. I wanted to be with him but that didn't happen because of you Elsa."

"What? Fred and I have been together since years. When did you come into the picture?"

"I was always there Elsa. I stalked you two for so long and I hate the fact that Fred loves you so much. But now I'm going to kill you and this will end forever."

Saying this she ran towards me and stabbed my arm.
I cried in pain but managed to push her away.
She fell on the ground.

I noticed that she was wearing weird rings and lockets. She had cuts on her arm and I realised that she was into witchcraft.
She got up and tried to attack me again but this time I held her hands and hit her in the knees.
She fell down again.

I quickly snatched the knife from her hand and tried to stab her arm but she just turned around within a second and the knife went through her chest.
I never wanted to kill her.
But it just happened.
She died within five minutes.

I checked her pulse and I was sure that she was dead.
I had to hide her.
I dig up a grave in the woods and picked up her body to bury there.
As soon as I held her, she opened her eyes.

"I will always be here Elsa, even after I die," she said and closed her eyes.
I was terrified but I had to bury her.

I quickly burried her in the woods and hoped that no one would ever find her.
