~Ina~

The anxiety was high. My chest was burning. Those whispers were still following me. No matter how fast I ran they kept on following me.

It felt like I could break down any second. I need to get away from here, I need to find Tom, I need my big brother.

I came to a stop when I felt my body come in contact with something hard in front of me. My flashlight had died earlier leaving me in complete darkness. Warm liquid run down my head into my mouth. Immediately I tasted the metallic, meaning it was my blood.

I sat on my knees and began to feel at the hard object. I could feel bricks and planks meaning that I ran into a wall. There have to be another way. I began to feel around, but on either side of me were walls.

No, I can't be stuck here.

Warm and fresh tears began to pour out of my eyes. My chest was heaving up and down rapidly while I pull my knees to my chest leaning against the wall behind me.

I was trying my best not to let the panic attack break lose. Don't gave in, don't let the fear get to you Ina. Stay here don't slip away in that black hole.

I blink repeatedly trying to see something, but it was hard considering that it was as black as night down here and tears were pouring out of my eyes. My hands clutched my head trying to get a grip on me, I was trying to see if this was all real and unfortunately it was.

It wasn't something I made up.

No, I am really here alone in a dark hallway in a place I once called hell.

It felt like I was dying.

Everything hurts and I was frozen on the ground from it. My chest was so tight, it felt like it would explode soon. I wanted to scream my lungs out, but I know that nobody could hear me down here, well nobody alive at least.

If those things from earlier would find me now I would be dead in a second.

Ina you need to calm down, calm down. I can't calm down, I can never calm down when I have a panic attack. Tom should be here, he's always the one who gets me to breath normally, who can snap me out of this.

I close my eyes tightly trying to get everything to work again.

Come on, come on.

I wrap my arms around my knees trying to pull it as close to my chest as possible. This isn't going to stop if I don't try.

I open my eyes only to see a bright light in front of me.

Oh no, something is down here with me.

No, no, no please don't let it get to me. The light came closer and faster. My breath was still heavy and I still couldn't find a grip on myself.

"Ina!" I hear footsteps, but I had no idea who it was. The light was still too bright for me to see who was behind it.

My nails were digging into my flesh on my arm. I was trying to snap myself out of it by hurting myself. I felt blood dripping down my arms, while I continue to dig my nails deeper into my skin.

The light final dropped to the ground and I could see Tom.

"Ina." He choke out when he saw what was happening to me.

In a sec he was by my side on the ground putting his hands on my shoulders. "It's alright, I'm here nothing can hurt you. You're save."

I bite my lip trying to hold back another sob.

"I-I c-an't can't bre-breath." I choke out.

He nodded his head repeatedly forcing me to look at him. "Yes you can. Breath with me, okay?"

He began to take deep breaths and I began to follow his lead. He put his forehead against mine while rubbing my arm.

"That's it. You're doing it." He said when he saw that my breath started to slow.

I was exhausted. It felt like I had run a marathon. My heart was still beating fast in my chest, but I was breathing slower now.

Tom sigh in relief when he saw that I was better now before pulling me to his chest. I wrap my arms around him closing my eyes.

"Everything is okay." He whisper into my hair.

When is it ever okay. Our lives are never going to be okay. We have learn that by now. Everything in this world is so messed up and we are right in the middle of it.

I let out a sigh burring my face deeper into his chest. I bite my lip trying not to cry. I feel so bad right now. It's like all my emotion are completely confuse right now. I don't know if I should be happy to see Tom and that he found me or that I should be sad that I just had one of the worst panic attacks ever or if I should be scared because we're still in the asylum in a dark hallway.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard voices or something coming from out of the darkness in front of us.

"T-Tom do you hear that?" I said looking up from his chest to the darkness. I lean forwards trying to see what was making that noise.

"Yeah." He breath out.

I frown my brows not seeing anything. It got louder and I could make out that they weren't voice's, but footsteps.

Oh no.

"Tom it are those things!" I said pushing myself back against Tom.

We can't run.

We're trapped here.

There isn't a place we can hide.

"Ina look at me." He grabbed my face making me look at him. The light of his flashlight made it easy to see him.

"You have to trust me, okay?" I nodded my head slowly, trying not pay any attention to those running footsteps who were coming closer and closer.

"Do you remember what I said? You do what I said. If I say hide, you hide. If I say you run, you run." Quickly I nodded my head.

I jump when I heard those awful screams.

"I need to turn off the flashlight."

Is he crazy?! It will be completely dark here.

"No Tom you can't." I said quickly.

He shook his head.

"You said you would listen to me."

I wanted to protest, but slowly nodded my head. I had no idea what he wanted to do.

"Those things can't see in the darkness just like us, so if I turn it off they won't see us. If we are quite enough they will just leave." He explained taking his flashlight from the ground next to him.

We were already sitting in the corner from when I broke down, but I moved further to it. Tom grabbed me and put me on his lap before moving into the corner. Those things were close now.

"Ready?" He asked looking down to me.

I was so not ready for this.

"Y-yeah." I breath out in a shaky breath.

Tom turn off his flashlight and darkness consume my sight immediately. My hands grabbed the fabric from Tom's jacket puling myself closer to him in the progress. I could feel the ground moving underneath us while those things ran towards us.

I let out a whimper when they screamed again.

I wanted to move because I was scared, but Tom whisper made me stop.

"Don't move they'll hear you."
