Chapter 3 - Carol's Last Shift

"Maybe this store is really hiding something," said Carol.

"Maybe it's all just your imagination? Can't we just go back and work?"

As they were about to exit the storage room, the cashier shut the door. They panicked when they found out that the cashier locked the door.

"Hey! What the fuck are you doing!?" they cried for help 

"None of your business. Bitches." the cashier replied but suddenly, the voice turned into a boy.

"No, no, no, no, that is the boy!" Carol screamed out of fear.

"Shit, no, we're going to get out of here. Trust me" Sasha said confidently. They went upstairs and saw there was a door blocked with nailed planks.

The hammer was also just beside the door so they could easily break through. When they went in the room there was just pitch black. They looked around for the light switch in the room. 

"Where is this light! This is starting to piss me off!"

Sasha eventually found the light switch and turned it on. They saw dead people, hanging in the room and others were in the sack. Both of them were shocked and screamed. They ran out of the room in fear.

"We just saw, fucking dead bodies in here." Carol cried continuously.

"The only thing we need to focus on is to get the hell out of here." 

They looked around for any vents or passageways and eventually they found one. It was behind that big closet full of rats and ruined clothes. It also had some scratch marks.The vent is very narrow and some could barely fit in. They went into the passageway and crawled under it.

 

While they were crawling in the vent, there was a loose surface ahead that they weren't aware of. When they were both on the surface, they fell in a tube that was very high. Both of them landed in an empty room with lights on.

There were two chairs in a room facing each other at the center and there was a window where there were people looking at you. 

"Where the hell are we now?" asked Sasha.

They were confused about what was happening. At first they were at the store's storage room and now they're in an investigation room. They knocked at the window but no one unlocked the door. The room security alerted *All people in the room will be punished. Thank you.*

They sat on the chair and waited for a few seconds. They held each other's hand and closed their eyes. Coral felt that there was a liquid beneath and when they opened their eyes, there was blood coming out of the ceiling.

They panicked but they sat still. The room is filled with blood. The blood was already at their chest level and so they stood in their chairs. Every flow of blood was very fast until the blood was in their head level now. 

"Shit we're fucked" said Coral as they panic.

A few seconds have passed, the rising blood eventually reached the ceiling which caused them to drown. But then, something happened, as they drowned they saw themselves in a bathtub that was filled with blood.

They stayed for a moment and they heard a bubbling effect beneath them. They looked at it for a few seconds and the lights went out. They heard some knocks and taps on the door.

"Be silent Carol."

"What the f is happening Sasha"

"Shush."

The lights went back and there was a hat between them both. It was covered in blood. Seconds later, the hat floated and there was a head.

"Hello, you sinful people. How are you doing today with your tasty souls."

"Run" They got off the bathtub and the entity popped up on the bathtub. It was just floating there at a specific spot.

"The door's locked! No!"

The entity threw Carol away from the door at the side. She hitted the mirror and dropped in the sink, causing it to break into pieces.

"Carol"

The entity threw Sasha in the door, pinning her. She's trying to resist but she can't get out. The blood in the bathtub bubbled as if something was breathing underneath.

 

"What do you want from me!" Sasha screamed.

"Luke is who I want." The entity answered.

"Why do you-"

"Because he is the one that brought you here, he already knows what's going to happen. He tried to stop you both but you didn't listen.Now you must pay the price and I will take your beloved husband."

"No no no! Please not my husband! Please, I beg you!"

"Too late my friend"

The entity threw the mirror shards towards her. One stabbed her in the eye and one in her stomach. She fell down and the entity went down in the bathtub. Few seconds later, the bathtub exploded into pieces and the room was flooded with blood. 

"C-c- carol! A-are you okay?" She asked but no one answered. Sasha stood up and looked in the sink. She saw Carol, covered with shards of the sink and mirror. 

"Carol!" She shouted and cried.

"K-kill those pieces of shit off" she answered while gasping her breath. Sasha held her hand and eventually, she let go and passed away.

"No! Carol, stay awake! I can't do this alone!"

She cried and cried until no tears fell in her eyes. Afterwards, the door opened. 

"Hey? Hello? Who's in here?" the man asked.

"Please help me!"

The man saw them and he helped Sasha. She told him what happened, about how she got there. 

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes! I am! Look at me! I'm dying right now!"

"Okay okay! By the way, I am Charles. I'll call 911!"

911 arrived and she told them what happened. They arrived at the hospital and they ran them both to the emergency room. 

"Remove all the shards of mirrors in her!"
