Chapter 2: Chapter 1 : Where am i? [First Trial]
.
[Richan POV]
Yawn, I woke up from my sleep, but I think it's not morning yet because outside my window is still pitch dark; I'm trying to find my phone to check the time, but I can't find it. Maybe I left it in the living room? after that, I get up from my bed and try to grab a drink in the dining room; when I walk up to the door, I open it, but it won't budge; I spin the knob and try to pull the door, but it still won't budge.
.
This door cannot be locked from the other side, so there must be something wrong with it. I try to use more strength to open it in the hope that it will fix it, but it still won't even budge an inch.
.
I'm in a panic. "What is going on here? There is no way this is real," I said while still confused about what had just happened.
.
In desperate measures, I start to panic and bang on the door, yelling for my family help, but the door still won't budge, nor do my parents respond. "MAMA, PAPAA, PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR. I'm STUCK IN HERE; PLEASE HELP!"
.
*The Sound of the door banging so loud*
.
No matter how hard I yelled or banged it, the door still wouldn't budge, and my parents did not come for my help. It had already been ten minutes since I started banging on the door. I even started to cry because it was so dark and gloomy inside my room; I decided to calm down not so long ago. One last effort: I got on both knees on the floor and prayed to God.
.
"Oh God, please help me, I'm scared here, please open the door, please…"
After I prayed desperately, I heard the sound of a click coming from the door, and I got up. Then I approached the door and thought to myself, "I try to open the door, and it is...opened." It was like the door was unlocked but from the other side.
.
I don't know how, but someone unlocks the door and leaves, not taking too long to think about it. Then I leave my room but realize something is not right; this is not my home. I'm in the middle of something like an interior from a grand palace or a castle, just like inside of a video game I always play.
.
There is a big picture, an Armor statue, and even a banner. The banner had some drawings on it; I think it looked like a dragon and a crescent moon. Looking around again, the place I just left my room looked like a long corridor.
.
After watching the situation around me, I tried to calm down, but I finally decided to wander this place slowly while hoping that I could leave this place.
.
"What is this place? Just why am I suddenly here? Where is everyone?" I said to myself while wandering this place and looking around it
.
Around 30 minutes after I decided to wander this place, I reached a dead-end. In response, I turned around, but when I was about to walk away, something felt weird behind me, in the direction of the dead-end. Then I glanced back behind, and suddenly, there was a door there, which was initially empty.
.
Surprisingly, I said to myself, "What the? But just now, that door isn't there."
.
Because of my curiosity, I walked up to the door, opened it, and found it actually unlocked. I took a peek inside the room. I think it's big enough to hold a school ceremony inside, and there are also four other doors.
.
But I also saw something in the middle of the room, like a small glass showcase with something inside it; I approached it even closer, and what I saw inside it was a very familiar thing to me.
.
"Hmm? Why is this here? It is supposed to be in my drawer," I said to myself while looking at it, making sure it was the thing that was in my mind right now.
.
It is my favorite sword ornament necklace, which I always wear wherever I go and put inside my bedroom drawer before I sleep. I got this necklace from my father, who returned from long work in Turkey when I was six years old; I treasured it like a personal artifact because it was the first gift that my dad personally gave to me.
.
I tried to reach the necklace inside the showcase, but it was useless. I don't even know how to get it inside. There's no entrance to it, and I think destroying it is a bad idea.
.
Not thinking much about it, I tried to wander the room again, from one room to another, starting from the first room from the left, the gold-colored door. I opened the door, and what I saw inside really confused me. It was my bedroom. Wait a minute, but wasn't my bedroom back there on the long corridor? Oh well, whatever.
.
I'm trying to move on, so I go to the second room, the one with the silvery-colored door. Inside, it's also a bedroom. The only difference is the wallpaper, and the floor is white silver. The third room, the black-colored one, is also a bedroom again, but the wallpaper and floors are black.
.
It did not take long to reach the last fourth room on the right, The red-colored one, but why was this fourth room too far from, not like the three before? But then I opened the door and took a peek inside first. It was not a bedroom this time, but the room was...white, all white, from floor to ceiling. It was plain white, and the room was empty, except it was so long, almost like a corridor, and I saw there was another door on the other side.
.
It's a plain door, a plain red door to be precise, but the red, just like pure crimson blood color. At first glance, the door seems normal until I can't move an inch of my body and approach it involuntarily.
.
My body moves on its own towards the door; step by step, I'm getting closer to the door; my entire body is shivering, my cold sweats are dropping, and I can't stop my body. It's just like I'm being controlled or possessed to approach the door.
.
I'm getting terrified. No matter how much I tried, I still couldn't stop my body, but then I stopped moving forward. At first, I felt glad that it finally stopped, but what foolish of me to think it was. For that, I realize that I'm already in front of the crimson-red door.
.
I can feel it, the smell, the fear, that makes every fiber of my muscles in my body shiver uncontrollably; I have a big desire to puke, but I can hold it somehow.
.
When I thought it had finally ended, suddenly, my right hand moved. It was reaching for the doorknob, and I couldn't stop it. It felt like I didn't have any authority over my own body. My right hand almost got to reach the doorknob. I don't want to open this door; it is just giving me chills, but I can't stop my hand. I begged for help, but I didn't know if it would work.
.
"Somebody, pl..please help me, please…." I plead in my scared and stuttered voice.
.
I think it's a futile effort, and no one seems to come. I give up, and my only choice is to let my hand open it, but then when my hand is just about to spin the knob.
.
I heard a voice, and it said in a cold and deep voice, "Stop... don't touch that door."
.
There is a tiny whispering voice that sounds like a man's. He told me not to touch the door.
.
But what must I do? I can't even stop my own body. Eh, wa… wa….wait. I can move my hand, and I can also move my body now. It seems like I'm getting back control of my body.
.
I didn't have a clue where the voice was coming from. I tried to look behind me, and there was no one else in this room, but I knew what the voice meant to tell me. It was absolutely telling me to stay away from this door.
.
I can move my body again, but I don't know why that I'm still freezing in front of this door, it just like both of my eyes are locked on the door that I almost get in lost with it, it seems to have some power to hypnotize, but then, there is this voice again.
.
"Get away from there," he said to me, but then the sound stopped for a second, and it came again, but now it was yelling out loud.
"GET OUT FROM THERE, NOWW!!!!!" he said while yelling at me,
.
Suddenly, something warped to the walls from inside the red crimson door. The wall around the door changed color to a blood-like color. Red colors spread so fast from the door; it was moving like it was alive. The red-like things scattered around the room so quickly, and my gut feeling told me to leave here ASAP. Still, before I began running, I saw it.
.
*Creaking door sound*
.
The red crimson door opened by itself for a bit, and then something like a tentacle lurked from the back of the door. It was dark and spikey, and the stench smelled like the most rotten thing in the world.
.
Not taking a long time, I began to run away from the door with haste. I do not dare to look behind even for a second after running, but I can feel it; the red thing catches up to me from behind. I'm starting to lose my breath, and my legs are about to give out, but finally, I'm returning to the main room with the necklace showcase.
.
There, where I finally look behind, the room with the red door. Before, the room was all white, but now it's all red; it's the red thing filling that room right now.
.
After about 10 seconds, the red things start to lurk back at the red crimson door; it looks like something is preventing them from coming here. Then, the fourth door of the main room closes so loudly, leaving only an eerie aura behind.
.
I wonder what that room was, but whatever it is, it's a bad idea to come back there.
.
After the disaster that almost came to me, I tried to calm myself. I took a seat beside the glass showcase, leaning on it, and took a breath. The showcase felt so warm, and I felt safe. Suddenly, I felt sleepy, but I tried my best to resist, but it was futile. My head felt so relaxed, and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
