Erica awoke groggily moving her left hand carefully because of the dark blue and purple bruises all over. She tried to recall what had happened moments ago. Or what felt like it. The lights were flickering from bright white to a dim yellow. There was a faint echo of voices that were barely understandable. Every part of her body ached in ways that would hardly be called painful.<br/><br/>The lights suddenly shut off placing her into complete darkness. Her body carefully sat up trying to figure out why the lights went out. No one screamed , nor showed any feeling or sense of panic. With energy slowly draining her, a sound of feet slamming onto the floor and her carefully trying to make her way to the door echoed in the silent room.<br/><br/>At last she felt a metal knob but as her hand twisted it a shock of pain from her wrist caused a leap backwards. Then her hands reached again desperately to turn the knob. Finally a sound much like metal scraping against metal occurred. A sure sign that the door was now open.<br/><br/>Outside the hallway was also pitch-black and for a second as a nurse walked by she could have sworn that there was no pupil in the lady's eyes just pure black like nothingness. The only reason that her eyes could make out that it was a nurse  because of the white nurses outfit that hung lose down her side.<br/><br/>The walls made her feel like she was being sucked into a wave of emptiness. Noises of three people most likely enjoying themselves, one being that male nurse. For some reason her brain could tell that his voice was in the mingle. Slowly she avoided nearing that turn and instead continued straight down the dark hallway.<br/><br/>For what felt like forever she was just walking down the hallway. Then as if calculating time the lights , and power turned back on. Her eyes caught a door that was slightly ajar most likely because a nurse was in a rush. Her feet crept her towards the door, and slowly pushed the metal door open.<br/><br/>" Hello? Anyone in here?" Her whisper was so that the nurses did not notice one of their patients had let themselves out.
