~ Around 3 am ~
BAM, BAM!
We heard two loud thumps coming from somewhere in the house, but we had no clear idea where. We were all silent as the cameras rolled, night vision was on, and we were trying to film for the future episode. While our backs were turned, we all heard the door close as I ran to the door, seeing it close in front of my eyes. Ethan and I began pounding on the door and trying the doorknob, but it wasn't budging. "What the fuck," I muttered. "What's going on," Jay asked. I didn't notice the boys were behind me and Ethan until I felt breathing on the back of my neck. I jumped as I turned my head, seeing it was only Zak. "Jesus, Zak, don't do that," I exclaimed. He chuckled lightly as I couldn't help but giggle. "My apologizes, Mia, I didn't mean to startle you. What's happening?" "We're locked in, that's what," Ethan said. "Locked in? How can we be locked in," Aaron asked.
"None of us were near the door; we all saw it close," Billy said. Zak immediately stated, "Tell me we got that on camera, man." "I think so, they've been rolling," Jay responded. "Guys, seriously, the door isn't opening, what the fuck," I exclaimed starting to panic. "Let us try," Billy said to me and Ethan as we moved out of the way. The rest of us stood back as we watched Zak and Jay trying to open the door, but it wasn't budging. "This isn't funny, what's going on," Jay stated after a minute. "Dude, it's got to be paranormal then," Aaron said. "As much as I hate to admit it," Zak said as he turned around, "we're stuck in this room for now." Zak walked over to the bed as I watched Jay as he tried to bust the door down, but only hurt his shoulder.
I walked a step towards Jay, asking, "Jay, are you okay?" He nodded his head as he held his shoulder, "Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks, I just shouldn't have tried to do that so hard." I shook my head and giggled, "men..." All of a sudden, the room and everything started to shake as I held onto Ethan's arm. "What the hell, is this another earthquake," Ethan asked. "It doesn't feel like the house is shaking, it's the room," one of the crewmen stated. "What the hell is going on," Zak asked. "This is some bizarre shit," Billy exclaimed. We all balanced together as we all huddled slightly, watching what was going on. A couple of framed photos sounded like they had fallen off the wall, as we couldn't see anything.
"As big fans of the show we are," I started to say, "I've never seen this happen before...twice now..." "I've never experienced this before," Zak softly said. After a couple of minutes, the shaking finally stopped as we all looked at each other in question. This is the second time this has happened, and we don't know what it is or why. "Dude, what the hell," Aaron stated in a shock. "I don't know," Jay started, "but this is so weird." As I stood by the window, I heard a loud crash behind me that sounded like some sort of glass breaking. I yelped as I grabbed Ethan, "Ethan, what the hell was that?!" "I don't know but that scared the shit out of me. Are you hurt, Mia?" I shook my head, "No, I'm fine, are you hurt?" "No." "Guys, look around to find what fell," Zak demanded. We all grabbed and turned on our flashlights to search around.
A few seconds later, I yanked on Ethan's shirt, "Ethan, look. It was this thing that was on the nightstand," I stated as I held the flashlight at my foot, pointing to a broken glass figurine on the floor. Billy came up behind us, "It's a broken glass figurine, Zak." "What," he exclaimed, "What the hell?!" "Dude, tell me we got that," Aaron stated. "I hope so," Jay added. "How did it fall, though? None of us hit that nightstand, did we," Zak stared at all of us scattered in the room as the two crewmen stayed by the door. We all shook our heads and said no as we looked at each other. Billy said, "Zak, we should explain what's really going on here." "Yeah, I agree," Aaron chipped in. I sighed as I nodded my head, too.
We watched as Zak looked at the camera, "All right, so, it's just after 3 am here, and we've been having a lot of activity. We've suddenly got locked into one of the bedrooms, so none of us can leave unless a spirit wants us to. We've had heavy shaking like it was an earthquake, but not, and just had a glass figurine that was on one of the night tables unexpectedly fall as none of us were by it for it to fall and break." Zak suddenly turned around and looked at us, noticing we were on edge. "All right, guys, I know we're on edge, but let's just stay calm and alert for now." "Ethan, I'm getting scared," I muttered to him after we were all trying to keep ourselves together. "I know," he responded as he laid a hand on the back of my neck, "it's going to be fine."
"Zak, I'm going to do the spirit box again," Aaron said. "I've been rolling on the recorder for a while now," Billy stated. Zak asked, "Who's doing this? Who's trying to scare us and trap us in this room?" Aaron stood by Ethan as the three of us heard a female voice come out of the spirit box, "It was me." "It was me," the three of us exclaimed at the same time. "It said it was me," Aaron repeated. "Who's me," Zak asked loudly, "Tell us who you are!" "No," we heard it respond. Then, after a minute of silence, I faintly heard, "Kill," out of the spirit box. My eyes got wide, "What the fuck?! It just said kill! The spirit box just said Kill!" "Are you sure, Mia," Aaron asked me. I nodded my head, "Yes, I heard it clear as day." "I thought I heard it too," Ethan added. "Who do you want to kill," Zak asked. We all waited, but never heard another word.
CRASH!
The sound of glass breaking scared me as I screamed bloody murder, feeling hands wrap around my waist and legs, trying to yank me out of the window. "HELP! HELP ME PLEASE!" "Mia," Ethan shouted. I looked as he grabbed me and tried to pull me back, but couldn't. "Let her go, you fucking bastard," he shouted. I felt broken glass cutting my legs as the stinging made me yell again. The boys dropped everything they had in their hands and ran to help me. I felt cool air on my feet and ankles as I screamed and cried from the pain and hands on my legs. "Let me go," I exclaimed, "please get me out!" We'll get you out, we got you," Jay exclaimed. With all of the powerful forces, they managed to yank me inside as I lay on the floor on my stomach, crying. "What the fuck was that," Billy asked. "Dude," Aaron started, "I bet it's that crazy guy who's got us trapped in here."
"It has to be, Aaron," Jay started, "but where is he?" "I don't see him," Billy stated. Ethan bent down and pulled me up to at least sit up. "Jesus fuck, Mia, are you okay?" He got some of the hair away from my face as he wiped my face, as I was still crying. I shook my head to mean no as Zak sat in front of me and grabbed my face; it was still dark, but I could feel them both by me. "What hurts, Mia," Zak asked sweetly. "My-my legs...the bottom of my legs sting. I think some of the glass cut me." "Someone get some lights in here now, please," Zak demanded. The camera was cut as the bedroom lights got turned on, and we looked at each other. "Zak, there's glass on the floor by the window," one of the other crewmen stated as he pointed with his finger.
"Looks like from the inside, Zak," Jay said, "it was busted from the outside." "Zak," Ethan stated, "she's bleeding. Her legs." I finally looked down at my legs to see blood running down my legs and fresh cuts. I turned my head and sighed and felt a couple of tears fall down my face. I watched worriedly as Ethan ran up and started to pound and kick the door, "We've got to get out! Let us out! She's hurt!" "Ethan, it's okay, don't hurt yourself, please," I stated. He stopped as he turned and looked down at me worriedly, as Aaron got him to sit down on the bed. "Here, I don't know if this will help, but use my jacket, Zak," I heard one of the crewmen say. I looked up at the man and smiled softly, "You don't have to do that."
"You need the most, right now, plus it is a little warm in here now." "Thank you." He smiled sweetly as Zak grabbed the jacket and Jay handed Zak a bottle of water to try and clean my wounds. Zak looked at me as I looked at him, "I'm sorry, but this is going to sting some, okay?" I nodded my head as I bravely fought through and watched Zak carefully tend to my wounds and clean them up the best he could for now. "There's a first aid kit at base, Zak," Billy said. "Good," Zak responded, "Soon as we get out of there, I want it to have these cleaned up." Ethan handed me his bottled water as I took a couple of sips and handed it back to him. I looked around the room as I noticed they were all watching me sweetly. "T-thank you all," I shakily got out, "thank you all for saving me."
Zak saw right through me as he saw my body shake with tears still falling down my cheeks. Looking into his eyes, I felt hypnotized and warm inside, as I could start to see how much he cares and doesn't want me to be hurt. How can I be brave in front of the man I have a crush on? He grabbed me without a word and held me tightly against his chest as I gave up and cried, wrapping my arms around him. He carelessly rubbed my hair and held me tight as I cried into his firm chest, feeling his heart beat slightly increase. The warmth of his body heat and how he held me is making me feel so safe. I wonder if he's reacting like this cause he feels protective of me. Does this mean he likes me, or am I crazy for wanting to think that? "I'm going to kill this fucker myself," I thought I heard him mutter under his breath.
~ Narrator's POV ~
As Zak comforted Mia while holding her as she cried, he looked at his mates before him.
"Dude, what are we going to do," Aaron asked as he looked at Zak.
"We need to get out to tend to her, but we're trapped, "Jay added.
"I don't know, guys," Zak started, "but we don't need anything to get worse, we've got to stay on high alert."
The room was silent as they all glanced at each other, unsure of what to do or when they'll be able to get out...
