“Will you sleep in this room?”

I widened my eyes and immediately looked in the direction where Robert was when he asked me that question.

“Hah?” I pretended not to hear what he was saying and asked this question with my eyebrows raised, looking at him.

“Hehe, forget it. I’m just joking,” said Robert, chuckling at me.

It was a relief to hear that what he said was just a joke.

I helped Robert into his bed; I took a few steps back to bid him farewell.

.....

“I want to go home first, okay?” I said, smiling at Robert.

“Do you have to hurry?” asked Robert with a pitiful face.

“Yes, I must go home; I’m afraid my parents are looking for me!” I answered briefly to Robert and then walked out of Robert’s room.

I walked quickly out of Robert’s house because I felt something was wrong in this house.

When I entered the elevator and saw some buttons directing me to the lower floor, I forgot to ask Robert which floor I had to press to get to the first floor.

Because the buttons in the elevator only contain numbers from one to four.

I decided to press the number 1 button.

I’m sure this number 1 button will direct me to the living room where I was with Robert earlier.

As the elevator moved down, I realized it felt like the elevator I was currently riding was going through one more floor than before.

Suddenly my heart was beating so fast because the previously bright elevator lights turned dark red.

Did I press the wrong button in the elevator? Am I on the wrong floor?

When the elevator stopped slowly, the door opened, and I saw a dark room.

“Why is this room different from the previous living room? Was the previous living room in elevator number 2?” I mumbled, confused, when I saw the dark room in front of me.

Immediately I pressed the elevator button again to close the elevator door, but several times I tried, the door did not work to close immediately.

I also tried pressing the numbers 2,3 and 4, but the buttons don’t work.

The elevator didn’t move, and the door didn’t close.

My heart is pounding so fast because I don’t know what to do now.

I heard the sound of footsteps approaching me from a distance, while the room in front of me was so dark that I couldn’t even see it.

Not long after, I saw a male figure approaching me; the figure was not very clearly visible to my eyes because the room’s darkness could only reveal the figure’s shadow.

I discovered that it was a male figure because his hair was short.

But the longer the figure got closer to me, the more I couldn’t control myself because I felt a scary aura from the male figure.

The male figure is not far from the elevator door, and I can now see his face being hit by the light inside the elevator; he is indeed a male figure.

However, there is something different about this man. When the man was standing right in front of the elevator door, I realized that something covered his lips and neck with thick red liquid.

Wait. Is that blood? I mumbled while squinting my eyes at the man.

I immediately stepped back and pressed my back against the elevator wall. I know that it is blood.

The man just stood there staring intently at me. My tongue is so numb to say a word, but the only thing that pops into my mind right now is the word “Help!”

“Help!!! Help me!!!” I slowly shouted for help because I knew this was a bad sign.

The man widened his eyes and walked closer to me. He opened his mouth, and I saw clearly that the man had sharp fangs.

“Help! help!!!”

BRACK!

BANG!

I immediately covered my face with both hands because there was a sound like an explosion in the upper elevator.

Tap!

And at that moment, I saw a black shadow darting swiftly land in front of me.

Slashed!

Slashed!

“Argggghh!”

I heard a pained voice from the figure of the man standing in front of the elevator door; I don’t know what happened now because I was scared and could only cover my head with my hands.

I tried to peek through my arms, looking at the elevator doors, and suddenly someone approached me.

“Ahhhh!”

I screamed in fear as the figure approached me.

“Leon!!! Leon! It’s me!”

I immediately fell silent when I heard the voice; he also knew my name. It wasn’t Robert’s voice; it was David’s voice.

I slowly lowered my hands from my head and saw that now David was right in front of me.

“Are you okay?” David asked me with a worried face.

I nodded my head, unable to answer him at all, then suddenly, he hugged me.

I don’t know what’s going on right now because all I can do is hug David tightly and bury my face in his chest.

The two of us seemed to move fast because I could feel the strong wind blowing around my body.

“Open your eyes; we’re in a safe place!” David said while stroking my hair slowly.

I, still scared, tried to catch my breath and opened my eyes slowly.

When I opened my eyes, we were already in different places. I don’t know where it is, but I can see an old building on my left. And all around me is a vast meadow.

“Where are we?” I asked, confused while looking around me.

“We are safe, don’t worry, they won’t chase you!” said David.

“Chasing by them, who are they? What do you mean, David?” I asked David, confused, while holding his collar.

“Vampire!”

I immediately fell silent when I heard what David had just said because he said the person chasing me was a Vampire. And that’s impossible.

“That guy in the basement was a Vampire!” Said David added while holding both my shoulders.

“Hah?”
