Chapter 2
I woke up by the bright rays of the sun to find my self laying on the bed i was in earlier. "I am back to the same room! . Was is it all a dream?" I wondered to my self .
"ouch" my head pains, that's out of the ordinary I don't usually get headache.

While I was sinking deep in thoughts the door opened and Victor came in with the usual poker face and said calmly

"Good morning Mr Rockfield, hope you had a good sleep".

"It's Walker, David Albert Walker. Just call me David " I interrupted.

Ignoring what I said, he continued. "The breakfast is being served. Come down and  don't be late" he said coldly and left.

I wanted to take a shower but I changed my mind and delay it after breakfast. I went down and started to look left and right, wondering were I should head to. While I was thinking a beautiful young lady stood in front of me while holding a baby. She was beautiful, brown short curly hair and Hazel eyes that are similar to mine. She was about 25. She gave me a gentle smile and pointed to a door at the end of the hall

"It's there" she said

"what is there?" I asked

"what you have been looking for. come we don't want to be late " she said while patting the baby.
She went ahead and I followed. I noticed some children running across us to that door.
When we arrived to the room I saw a long dinning table and the children sitting down already and Mrs Marie was almost done serving the dishes. The young lady already took a seat and I was just standing there awkwardly.

"come here, you can sit beside me" cried Victor.
I went and sat down. I looked at Victoria who was sitting across Victor and Janet , she looked back at me while smiling and said
"Good morning David"
I didn't respond because I was lost in thoughts. I recalled what happened yesterday once I saw Victoria.
Victor tapped on my leg under the table so I came back to my conscious.
"oh yes, good morning" I said while hesitating before we started to eat. Every thing seems normal maybe it was really a dream, maybe I lost my mind. 

"So you have met Mrs Lorrin " said Janet , this is the first time she talked to me so i was a little surprised . " She takes care of us and treats us kindly " she added.

"Yes she is very kind like a mother " , I answered  without thinking . 

We continued our meal normally but i still cant stop  thinking about what happened yesterday . When I started to believe that it was just a dream i remembered that i injured my hand. This means if i found a scare then it wasn't  a dream , i pulled my sleeves quickly finding  a wound on my hand it was a new one . The fact that i didn't lost my mind  made me glad but i realized i shouldn't be happy about it .I don't no why but suddenly i felt that someone is looking at me so i lifted my head slowly to find Janet giving me a strange look beside her sat Victoria who gave me a sharp look , Victor gave me the same look and i found some kids looking at me too.I think i can guess who was wearing the masks yesterday. I have a bad feeling about it .I should get out of here but how ?
I don't think it will be easy they wont let their witness go .(maybe i should run at night , it will be a good idea if i lived till the night) . Should i call the police and tell them every thing but i don't think they will believe some little children are killing people. Again i was lost in thoughts until i realized that the place is so quite , i lifted my head to find my self alone in the room . ( this is very strange when did they leave , its as if they disappeared ) .I was the only one sitting , their wasn't a single plate on the table .

I rubbed my eyes twice but nothing changed .( maybe i am still sleeping or maybe i really lost my mind ) that's what i thought before i decided to leave . I went to the door and when i was about to open it i heard a very loud sound on the other side . It is a sound of a clock , a big one , i opened  the door finding a giant grandfather clock , (when i was a child i used to be scared of them thinking that they were hunted ).I was surprised that i remembered something like that ,perhaps coming back really helped me however this clock wasn't there earlier, i didn't give it a second thought and decided to get my things and leave . While i was on my way i noticed that this is not the same hall i came through this morning , this one has a dark style .I walked faster until i reached the end of the hallway but i found two more halls one was on the right the other on the left and they looked exactly the same, they had so many doors and a unique pattern . 



(Where are the stairs ?why everything looks different ? Maybe i am not in the orphanage anymore) that's what came to mind . I noticed a far light at the end of the right hallway so i run towards it . Approaching the end i saw that it was a window so i ran faster .When i reached i took a look outside but i couldn't see clearly because of the heavy fog that filled the hole area but i have a strong feeling that this is not the orphanage  .

The silence i stood in ,filled with sorrow and for some reason suddenly i felt sad, all at sea and lifeless . On spur of moment i sensed something dark from the end of the hallway that i came through but when i turned i saw a  large dark object coming towards me with heavy steps . I cant see it clearly but i don't think it will be a good idea. I was just standing there looking at that monster with eyes filled in fear and i didn't move until i realized that its speed started to increase .I came back to my conscious and started running throw the hallway that was on my right , i kept running throw the halls , left and right and as fast as i can but when ever i look behind i could see it . This monster doesn't know how to give up and so am i. Just when i started to run out of breath i saw Victoria standing on the other side of one of the halls .I didn't imagine that one day i will be this happy to see Victoria . I ran towards her and yelled

" Victoria ... Vi- Victoria  "

But she neither replayed nor moved. When i reached to her i stopped 

" Victoria , where are we ? What is this place  ? From where this monster came ? " I cried in fear while taking my breath but again she didn't respond . She looked at me and held my my hands gently and said 

"They want to meet you , follow me "  and ran .

I stood there feeling very confused as she ran through a corner 

" Wait ! " I said before start running behind her forgetting all about the monster . I ran as fast as i can to catch up with her , i was near here but she was faster so she was the one in front of me .

" Who want to meet me ? " i asked in a rush 

" You will know when we are there " she answered and and increased her speed to the point that i almost lost her through the halls. I didn't notice that there were stairs until Victoria went up to find more halls and doors. (How big is this place ?  I can't run anymore,  i am out of breath and that monster wont stop chasing us or maybe he is chasing only me .

I started to slowdown and just before i was about to stop Victoria went into one of the doors so i speedup again . The door closed behind her but i run fast and caught it at the time and finally went in and locked it behind me.

 I think we lost the monster, forgetting it i started to look around , it was very dark but there was a small light leak that was enough to see Victoria who was sitting on the ground and lowering her head . I approached her slowly .

"Victoria" i called her gently  

She looked at me and waved her hand for me to come , so i just went closer .

"Come ,sit here why are you standing there " she said while whispering loudly.
I did what she said without asking because i didn't want to get on her bad side.   

" Listen to him and do as he says , convince him that you can come in handy. You should be thankful that you are still alive and save your self ,keep your head low" she whispered in a cruel tone.

(who is she talking about ?) I asked my self but  again i didn't say a word . We were sitting in complete silence in the dark until i started to hear a light steps across the room and here i realized that we aren't alone . Suddenly someone  lighted a candle so i lifted my head up slowly to find ...
