Annabel's POV "You need to go." I told him with as much determination as I could find inside myself. I gritted my teeth and blinked rapidly, trying to prevent the tears from spilling out.

Sarah heard the screams and tried to make herself as small as she could. The closet she was hiding in was pitch black, not much bigger than a phone booth and smelled of strong chemicals. But for now, it was her only refuge from the terror that reigned just beyond the darkness of her sanctuary.
