Chapter 3 The Red Door

Valerie was still in her shock state. She couldn’t think, her brain was dead. She was just lying on the hard ground and stared blankly at the ceiling. Lights gone and the day has ended, a voice in her head told her that she needs to stay strong to save Sarah. She sprang up immediately and started scavenging things she could use to free herself from the cuff. While she was searching, something shiny caught her eyes. It was a key!

That mysterious man must have left it here when he unlocked the chain from Sarah’s leg. Valerie was on her legs at once after freeing herself from the cuff. Tip toeing, she walked up the stairs and when she was out of the basement, her mouth dropped wide open.

She was standing right in front of a long passage with hundreds of doors! Valerie had no clue which to start with. She walked down to the passage and stop at the fifth door on her left. The door was not locked, she turned the door knob and then entered the room. So this is the toy room, Valerie thought.

She stepped out from the toy room and then proceeded to the next door. She was about to scream when she opened the door, but Valerie swallowed her fear down her spine instead. She saw a girl’s limbs were tied to the corners of the bed, and the white sheet was covered with blood. What took her life was the knife which was plunged into her abdomen caused her from losing too much blood. She stomped off from the room immediately and ran until she reached a door which was painted red. Valerie heard screams coming within the room with the door painted red.

Sarah was butchered with an electrical chain saw and the blood was splashing everywhere in the room. Her limbs were all chopped off. The room was flooded with Sarah’s blood. Valerie who stood outside the room peeping through the keyhole was completely helpless. The mysterious man smiled slyly, satisfied with his blueprint. He chewed on her white thigh which was now covering with bloody red blood.

Valerie’s stomach was churning and she was about to puke, she couldn’t hold her stare any longer. She didn’t want to be victimized by that psychotic, cannibalistic man, she didn’t want to be killed and be eaten. She spun and race through the hallway and there… She finally saw the hope of getting out alive.
