No Way Out (Editing)

chapter two lost

    I stood there not knowing what to do. I rubbed my head, still with a pounding headache. I looked behind me and saw a dim light, I walked towards the light finding a small stained glass window and a dead end, the window was dusty but I could see a faint picure of a red and white rose. "Hmm this looks familiar" I thought staring at the window. I couldn't tell the time so I looked at the corridor and slowly made my way forward.

   I came to two large, heavy doors I pushed them open. They opened to reveal a more bright dining hall with windows all around. I looked around the hall realising where I was, I saw a candle on the table and some matches.
    I took the candle and lit it with a match and saw a door on the other side of the room. "hmm I better take the matches and maybe find a lantern or something" I murmured to my self... Out of the blue I heard a rumble and footsteps in the room above... I looked around with fear and started shaking.

    I walked across the room toward the door and opened it slowly, the door creaked and I walked into another dark corridor.
     I turned right and made my way forwards I could hardly see anything... then suddenly I heard footsteps again this time coming towards me... I panicked and blew out the candle leaning against the cold cobblestone wall. The footsteps passed  me but I saw nothing.
     When the footsteps faded away I lit the candle again, and this time hurried down the corridor. I found myself lost I didn't know which way I came from, its like I lost track of time there were rooms all around me; I tried opening one of the doors but it was locked all three seemed to be locked but then when I opened the fourth door I walked into a library of some kind. I looked around and saw a dusty window.
     I looked around the room and found a lantern. but it needed oil "damn!" I thought looking around the room hopefully "oh well I still have a candle" I added.
      I looked around the room looking at the 19th century dusty pictures and plans. I found a book in a drawer "looks like a diary" I thought and opened the book on a random page. it said:

"20th january 1832: I need to get out of here now! doctor smith has started another experiment and when the last one went wrong alot of people got hurt.. I just don't want to have my family hurt I can't afford to lose another child...!"

the next page was ripped out "hmm I wonder what is on the next page. I found a small bag on the floor in the corner of the room and put the matches, lantern and the diary in it. I walked out of the room with the candle burning in my hand. I turned right and walked on through the darkness.
