I stood with my back to the wall and looked around at all of the people in those chairs. I remembered when we used to be called here to sit and listen to whatever announcement was being made. I never really paid attention anyway. Well, not until now.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpOZ3df1k

In the far left corner of the auditorium, a man stood up. I watched him point at something but he didn't say a word. I followed his hand and my eyes widened. I felt my stomach twist unpleasantly as I looked up at the stage.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidMXBQXXpj
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY0E2eF3Y3
Tied to the rafters was a woman: brunette, half-clothed, and dead. Blood dripped down from the present bullet wound in the middle of her forehead, her mouth open in a scream I'm sure she was never able to utter.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzKZT1YhfH
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1on1W6K7h
Something that truly terrified me were her eyes.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWxloGsgSW
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozNg9pm9md
The sockets were empty.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOKLN3YStI
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUbJ40y9yl
My knees buckled and I fell, using my hands to brace myself so I didn't hit the cold ground. I gasped for air, my mind filled with the image of the woman, and I shut my eyes tightly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5eONhDpcN
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lqRp9TrkV
I heard the door open to my left and someone asked me a question.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNS59HoODv
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPvcFkRuBq
"Are you ready to see the doctor? He's waiting for you."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrmLpNcWN
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5CUviqkv
I turned my head, my eyes on the woman who had spoken. She was dressed in a nurses uniform and holding a clipboard. I dared a glance back at the others in the room and felt the bile rise in my throat at what I saw.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeTHUFbPJl
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj8YTkBC4X
Some were lying in the middle of the aisle, some were draped off the backs of the chairs, and some were spread across the stage. But they all had one thing in common; each looked like the hanging ornament with hole above.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hNynMnzRZ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPObIgkJLeF
"Emmy?" the nurse muttered. She crouched down and touched my shoulder. When I didn't reply, she hoisted me up and led me out into the lobby.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnqfiECh6l
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMsngWllF
Only it wasn't the lobby I had known when I was younger. It wasn't a lobby at all. It was a long, white hallway.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58k0OxkP8o
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fdYGbuuBp
"You told me you were ready," the woman replied before I could say anything. "It will be all right. I promise."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14wwPmGWz1
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVubrH0YtXP
Not far down the hall there was a room, which she led me into without discussion. She instructed me to sit on the bed. As I laid my head back against the pillow, I watched her face turn grim.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChqHspvOyM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6oPMdBqXo
"I'm sorry," she whispered, "but this is for your own good."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaWZSJnAOP
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN6nxc2R4o
"What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely steady. My heart slammed against my chest at the sight of the needle she held.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRrVF36We7
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAnF6OpDBd
"Please," she murmured soothingly. She lowered her hand. "It's the only way."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq79cygvK3
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fC40D4XiA
Her free hand touched my face, then, cold fingers caressing, reassuring. When she turned away, I felt relief wash over me. But the feeling was short-lived as she went to the door and opened it, revealing another person beyond it.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpHzIMZApv
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4czMfzL3BH
It was a man, the doctor I presumed. He came toward me and put a hand on my arm. He smiled down at me; his blue eyes cool as he spoke.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYYQ3iavc
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFSTZ8NmlT
"Do you feel better since they're dead?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEsAIksYYU
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5V7JaLDVC
"Who?" I blinked, watching him carefully. Panic slipped into my body and I felt a way of nausea hit me.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo1B4msMhF
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSF90HhpNN
He chuckled and sat in the chair beside the bed. "Those people. All of them."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHOWzwfx94
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspH7RlYsIu
"The people in the auditorium?" my throat tightened. "Why would I be happy that they're all mangled and bloody? What the fuck is going on?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSikdWYsfiU
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDCSpP1xwP
"I'll ask you to watch your language, Emily."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtbeC8OSZB
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOF63oFhq2
My head was spinning. "How do you know my name?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPbviZW45A
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9yx6ttVPa
"Oh, I know quite a bit about you," he said, flashing a smile. He ran a hand through his brown hair and shrugged. "You can't hide anything from me."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MloLSQUX1
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUT14lpQre
"Please." I sat up but he touched a hand to my face and slammed me down. As he spread his fingers so they were across my cheeks, but kept clear of my nose, his own facial features changed.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtSVqJxhvQ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWEmIRecE1
"No more," he hissed. I watched as he beckoned the nurse over and grabbed the needle from her hand. "I cannot allow this horror to continue."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG5IIQ71wt
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyPr82d5Kn
I felt something slid around my wrists, binding them to the bars attached to the bed. It took me half a second to realize they had been there the whole time. I had been so frantic to figure things out that I didn't notice.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlzkSHjJS9
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sDT0bNHM5
As the nurse stepped away from my left side, she shook her head sadly. I looked at the doctor as he secured the second set of straps. Then he slid his other hand over my mouth and pressed down. I thought he was going to suffocate me. I shut my eyes.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PEj5No2IG
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6nddQg4mL
As I brought my legs up to fight, he climbed on top of me, his weight enough to hold me down. I continued to struggle, refusing to die like this. A muffled cry erupted from my throat but it died in his warm, sweaty palm.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrmonelKWn
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolbfvY4BV4
He brought his unoccupied hand up and the tip of the needle gleamed as it hovered over me. Another hand gripped my face, gripped my eye, forcing it open. Terrified, I cried into his hand again, the tears welling up as the tip of the instrument penetrated.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAXql5FHFP
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVjLPkkMdx
The scream I heard was horrible. It echoed in the dark as I shot up and listened, my breathing ragged. It wasn't until I finally stopped shaking, sometime later, did I realize the sound had come from my own throat.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx7FdIkw57
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm1O9fk1AC
I was covered in sweat, drenched, my body aching as if I had run a long distance. Terrified but not willing to allow this nightmare to consume me, I slid out of bed and doubled over.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29V0kvk4k3
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡargzw8CNVp
"God," I whispered into the blackness. "Fuck."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbWFueMAOv
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCW8pVavuU
Trembling and nauseous, I was finally able to regain my balance. I trudged to the bathroom, flicked on the light and winced. I hesitated as I looked at the mirror above the sink. My heart hammered in my chest, so hard that I thought it would break through.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVBasbELsG
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRwuNxnRiA
"It was just a dream," I whispered. God, my voice sounded pathetic. "You're okay. Just go over there and look or you'll never go back to bed."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAJLxKDYT
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaSksNR7px
I had to coax myself like this a lot. This nightmare wasn't the first. The very first was one I never liked to think about. This current one was tame compared to the others.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRLkDqZuBi
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o0565hL9I
Taking a breath, I stepped up to the mirror and looked in; my red hair was knotted and messy, my skin pale, and my lips cut from where I had obviously bit into them at some point during the night.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH13YO3MkK
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QcVXqvcvz
Nothing seemed to be out of place except for the discoloration and mark under my left eye.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzfzm1ZTcJ

It looked like a thumbprint.
