...Alex POV...

Damn, my head feels like I was hit by a truck, I imagined it, slowly getting up off the frozen ground.

Every part of my body hurts, touching my body I could feel some places hurting more than others. I saw around and perceived almost nothing besides that I wasn't in my room anymore. I felt like there is something I forgot, what is it? Around me rocks were on the ground, where did those come from?

The room was in complete darkness, just a little hanging lamp illuminated the room with its weak yellow colour. I moved towards the light the moment I walked I sensed something dripping from my arm. I was bleeding in confusion touched my head which also felt warm.

I stared at my palm full of blood and frantically looked around to find a door, except I couldn't discern anything. I attempted to calm myself down with breathing, of course, it just made matters worse. I was shivering, seemed like I was in an ice cave.

"Stop shaking, stupid chicken!", I tried to tell myself but it didn't help either.

I felt the blood flowing down my arm. What do they do in the movies?

Right, they always put something around it. I looked at my clothes to see what I could put around it.  Beyond believe I was in my fucking penguin pyjamas.

You've got to be kidding me! How on earth am I in a room I don't recognise? Oh god maybe someone kidnapped me? Hell, this is some serious horror movie shit! I tried to pull the sleeve from the bottom half of my pyjama trousers, but damn this is so much easier in the movies.

I sat down not without problems, the bruises were making me tear up. I pulled and pulled, but nothing not even a damn bit.

This couldn't get any worse, for real! I was just in the mood to punch someone. You will regret this, you bastard or whoever kidnapped me!

I stopped immediately talking in my head and jumped from the floor. I could hear a screech echoing outside. I had to think it didn't I?, I answered myself.

Okay, I had two options in front of me. I can stay here and starve to death or I can get out and be killed by whatever is outside.

Again the voice echoed around, the agony in his voice was tangible.

I could feel my limbs moving frantically. His screams made me realize that it wasn't a fight. It seemed more like he was being tortured. I think my imagination is on hyper-drive right now. Maybe I'm hearing voices that aren't there.

"I will regret nothing, it is impressive how long you can take this!" I could hear his laugh from miles away. The moment he laughed it made me squeak. I just wanted to let my tears out, yet I pulled myself together and started to touch the wall to see if I could find a doorknob.

So, let's see, no just a cold wall. I moved a bit to the left and continued to go the same direction until I felt a huge freezing knob. I slowly turned it to make no noise, can't alert them or I am a headless chicken.

I opened it very carefully and popped my head out. No one seems to be here and the voice seemed to be gone. Therefore I got out of the room. Alex, you don't talk out of this room okay. Hope I can follow my advice.

"Jesus, it's freezing," Speaking low I could still see smoke coming out of my mouth. I put my hands around my body, completely ignoring the pain, well I tried.

"Ouch, damn this hurts," didn't I say I should shut up before leaving the room? I am just a talker that will be killed because I could not shut up.

I examined the corridor, flickering lights around me, wet floor from the leaking of the roof. I could see the stars from the roof made of glass. It meant I was on the last floor. This corridor is so long I can't even see the end. I moved slowly to not make any noise.

This looks like one of those cliche settings in horror movies. I haven't heard them ever since I got in here so I guess they are gone. Good Alex, you listened to yourself to shut up!

I moved a bit faster after hearing a noise behind me. Abruptly, I stopped after detecting a sharp noise from the door on my right. The door was faded green, seems like time wasn't kind on this building. The door had a little opening, maybe to give food. I looked into it. 

Please be empty, please be empty, nothing, it was just the wind.

I proceeded the walk with more confidence since I believe the voices came from my imagination.

I ceased to walk when I felt a light touch on my back. Sweat was running down on me, I was shaking and panicking. There is no one I told myself repeatedly. I walked faster almost running. I almost stumbled, hearing a footstep close to me. I started to run. I couldn't find the stairs anywhere. It felt like I was running for hours this seemed like an endless corridor.

Something touched my shoulder,  this time it wasn't light as before which forced me to turn around. I saw an Asian woman staring at me with her coal-black eyes, they were so dark I felt thrown into my deepest fears. She grabbed hold of me, grip so tight her knuckles turned ghostly white. She was wearing a mask around her mouth, only leaving her cold eyes to stare into.

"Am I beautiful?" her sweet voice seemed so calm.

I was baffled by the question and to not risk anything I said yes you are. She moved her other arm passed me and started to take off her mask.

Still, with her calm voice, she asked: "What about now?" Her beauty from before disappeared immediately, her mouth was slit from one ear to the other and it seemed like it was rotting away with worms in it, eating her flesh and some falling.

I almost threw up and tried to make her let me go, but she grabbed my other arm and pulled me closer. Her smell could kill anyone.

"And now!" she was screaming, squeezing me longer and tighter. I started to cry in fear. I tried to break us apart, but I couldn't. She was just too strong.

She came closer and asked again calmly this time, " what about now?"

I couldn't think of anything better than "you are okay!" I yelled the last part and surprisingly she let go of me. She tilted her head in confusion and I knew if I don't take this chance I will die.

I dashed out of there continuing to look for the stairs to go down but nothing at all. I could hear her coming closer and I perceived a snipping sound. She will kill me with a scissor, with a fucking scissor. I looked behind and saw her almost next to me so I just opened the door on my left and closed it.

A key was on it so I closed it, immediately. I crashed on the ground, with all this I forgot my pain at least something good comes from this.

'Bam, Bam, Bam every time she was knocking harder.

I dried my tears and tried to calm down. Snip! Snip! I don't know what is more creepy her mouth or the fact that she kills with a scissor.

I am so tired, I just want to sleep. My eyes started to close, the snip noise just made me tired.

"Hmph, Hmph!" Hearing this I reopened my eyes and looked everywhere thinking she was in here but nothing. I stood up and could feel a button hitting my back. I touched it and the lights turned on.

In fright, I saw a man chained to a metal bed, with needles pierced on his body. What the hell is happening here? I passed next to a small fridge and a desk with a lot of tools that resembled torture devices from medieval times.

He was frantically moving and his gaze made me stop. He seemed like he would eat me alive.

He moved his head showing me with his eyes to take out the towel that was in his mouth. I carefully moved close seeing that he was almost naked he was just in boxers and well build, his brown middle long hair was greasy and his skin was so pale like the dead.

"Stop moving or I won't take it out," I expressed myself quite bossy and he did listen. I proceeded to take it out.

"Thank you, now could you please take these chains off me?" he was quite polite, yet seemed completely weakened.

"You expect me to do that how?"

"Well, at least pull out the needles."

I started to pull out the needles and I was feeling pain each time, yet he seemed to be okay with it.  All of them were connected to a weird machine with tubes. What the hell was he injected with? I took ten needles out of him and he didn't even seem to feel them. He is not human. After that, he told me to go towards the fridge and bring him what is inside.

I walked towards the fridge, bowed down and opened it. There is just blood. I took one and read what was written on it. AB blood, Queen Elisabeth Hospital and then it stroke me this is human blood. My assumption was right. I love being right but not for this.

I inspected him, but he just utters "bring it to me, please."

I went close to him and put the bag close to his mouth, he moved his head a bit and I saw to big canine teeth piercing the bag.

I didn't know what to do so I just stood there until he finished, and was telling myself well at least he won't drink my blood, I hope.

When he finished I stood back expecting him to break from his chains. I was right he did it. He stood up, well he is taller than me for sure.

I saw a chair with clothes on it, "look there are clothes for you," I saw him looking towards it frowning his forehead.

"Don't you find it bizarre that there are clothes for me and that you ended in my room?"

Now that he is saying that it is a huge coincidence.

"Ohh fuck someone is playing with us!" I exclaimed in horror.

"Yes, he freed her, she is one of his wives, Kuchisake-Onna is her name."

"Did you said, wife?" I must be crazy but how do you kiss someone like that?

"Anyway who are you? What are you? And where are we?"

"Well, my name is John, it is a pleasure to meet you," he bowed a bit down. Is it me or is he weird?

"I am impressed, you're not afraid."

"Oh, actually I am terrified I am just thinking which of you three is the most frightening one?"

"I see, well I would put my bet on the other two." He stated with a slight smile on his face.

"Why?"

"It became quite quiet didn't it?" Thinking of it I didn't hear her since before.

"I don't like this," I looked at the surroundings to see a window from where we might get out.

"You bleeding," he said concerned.

"I am fine, but the only way out is by this door, where are we?" The moment I asked this I heard over the loudspeakers echoing in the corridor.

"WELCOME to the ASYLUM!" he was screaming and laughing like he was on drugs.

"Hope you will enjoy your visit to my beautiful house, but be warned danger lies everywhere and also little traps, but if you reach the door you are free. Good LUCK!"

As some might know I took inspiration from Japenese folklore with my little twist in later chapters and her appearance.

What do you think is the story of Kuchisake and why is she following the orders of the loudspeaker guy?
