Just like any other days Lily started to check every rooms and the patients before her shift ends.She was very glad that she didn't have to stay overnight after what happened that day.
After that incident nobody in the hospital wanted to stay there at night.As she almost finished every rooms,she was very excited to go home.She planned a date with her boyfriend the next day which was why she finished her shift early but that was not the only reason.
Before two days a patient in the psychiatric ward was killed mysteriously.Though that case was closed as a suicide because the victim was mentally unstable and tried to kill himself many times,everyone in the hospital know that it was not a suicide but a murder.A murder done by someone that all of them feared.It was not a person that can be put into jail but a ghost.
Lily checked most of the rooms and came to the last one.She hesitated a second before opening it.She took a deep breath and opened the door gathering her courage.As she opened it she saw a woman in her early forties lying in the bed with her hands and legs tied.
Lily let out a sigh.She checked the room and the patients pulse and all before leaving.As she turned around to leave.The woman opened her eyes suddenly."SHE WILL KILL YOU.SHE WILL KILL YOU ALL.SHE WILL NOT SPARE EVEN A SINGLE PERSON.YOU ARE GOING TO DIE"the woman shouted and started to laugh like a maniac.
Lily was startled by her sudden behavior.She stood in her place taking deep breaths in and out.She was sweating and tears started to gather in her eyes too.She turned to the lady who was still laughing.She took a injection and gave her some anesthesia.
After the woman finally lost her consciousness and slept again Lily turned to leave.She opened the door and started to walk.As she was walking the lights started to flicker.She stood there in her place not letting out a single breath.A person started coming towards her but since it was dark she couldn't see who that was.
Lily shutted her eyes.She closed them tightly murmuring something.The distance between her and the person started to decrease and a hand tapped on her shoulder."Hey lily,you are still here.I thought you finished your shift early".Lily opened her eyes hearing the familiar voice."It was you Layla.You scared me"Lily said her friend layla who was also working as a nurse there.
"hahaha...you thought that I was ghost?Come on don't tell me you believed those stories".
"Those are not stories.Those really happened here.
That woman is still lurking around here for revenge"lily told her with a serious tone.
"Okay okay even if that is true,that woman should only kill the previous dean of the hospital.He was the head of that research and reason for her death.
So we who have nothing to do with these things don't have anything to be afraid of",Layla said to her in a reassuring tone.
Before 4 years the previous dean of the hospital done a research with some drugs on a human.It was an illegal research but since the lady that was used for the research is an orphan he didn't care much but a fault occurred in the experiment and that lady died with her body burned down to ashes.Her screams that was heard that night can still be heard in the hospital by some of the old patients.
After this incident was found by the people nearby they filed a complaint and everyone that was involved was arrested but those people that was involved in the experiment died mysteriesly except the dean along with a survivor but he was traumatized and was admitted at the same hospital.The patient that died before two days was the same person.The dean is still in jail but nothing happened to him till this date.
"But the lady in the last room said that we are going to die.Every single one of us".
"You know about that lady right.She was just spouting some nonsense and it is not the first time she said that we are going to die",Layla told her looking into her eyes with a assuring smile.
Lily was half convinced but still couldn't accept Layla's words."Okay let's not talk about this.you should go early since you have a date tomorrow morning right"Layla teased her.Lily blushed hearing her words.It was not just a date.Her boyfriend was planning to propose her tomorrow which was known to her.She can easily read his mind.Maybe because she was in that department for quite a long time that she can read his face like the book.
As Lily was sinking in her thoughts the light went out completely.A thud was heard down the stairs near them.They were startled since that was sudden.Layla took out her torch and decided to check that place.She told Lily to stay there and Lily nodded.
Layle took her torch and went to see the place where that sound came.A few minutes passed and Layla still didn't came back.Lily was afaird and didn't have the courage to go after her.But since a few minutes passed Lily decided to go and check on Layla.As she took a few steps she heard a scream from that place.It was Layla's voice.
"AHHHHHHHHHH....LILY RUN!!!!...DON'T COME HERE!!!....."she shouted which gave a terrifying feeling to Lily.As she heard the voice Lily started to run the opposite direction towards the elevator.
Lily turned back while she was running and saw Layla who was covered in blood from head to toe and was trying to stand.When Lily decided to stop and help her she saw a shadow behind her.Lily's eyes widened and that shadow dragged Layla's legs and took her out of her sight.
Lily again started to run as tears were runnning down her eyes.Layla's screams were clearly heard by her.'It was that lady.It was the ghost that everyone was speaking about.It killed Layla.It is going to kill me and everyone here'.Many thoughts were running in her mind as she was running.Since it was near weekend only few people are in the hospital so even if she screamed help nobody would have heard that.
Lily gaining little hope when she saw the elevator.
She stopped and pressed the button.She pressed it many times as she was very scared.She looked back and saw nothing there and the door of the lift opened.Lily entered in in a hurry.She pressed the last floor.The lift started to move downstairs.Lily let out a sigh.She was panting heavily.Her friends bloody figure, the shadow and her screams appeared and heard in her ears again and again.
As a few floors passed and only two floors were remaining to reach the down floor Lily felt something behind her.She stiffened.She saw what was behind her in the mirror that was above her head.A lady wearing their hospital patient uniform with her heads down floating in the air was there.
Lily's heart started to beat fast.Her eyes started to tear up.She closed her mouth with her hands so that her sobs won't be heard.The lady was standing without any movement.
Lily looked at the door and at the floor number.Just one floor was left and the lady that was behind her started to come closer.'Just a little more.Please please don't come near me'Lily thought as she saw the floor number.A sound was heard and the door of the elevator opened.The lady was only a few inches away from her.
As soon as the door opened lily started to run shouting for help but no one was there.She checked the receptionists place and no one was there.She decided to leave through the entrence.She didn't care about anything at that time.Her only thought was escaping from there.As she started running towards the entrance a voice was heard.
It was Layla's voice.She was screaming and asking for help.Lily stopped and looked back.The voice was heard from the path that lead towards the operation theater that was closed for 4 years.
It was where the experiment took place that year.Lily hesitated to go there but she again heard Layla's voice calling her.Lily didn't thought about anything and ran toward that place.The room which was always closed was left opened that time.
"Layla? Are you there? Can you hear me Layla?"Lily called her out before entering the room.
"Li-Lily!!??...I'm here.I'm right here.Please help me.
I'm in pain.It hurts".Lily heard Layla's faint voice.
Lily held the door's lock and started to push it slowly.She was panting and chocking for air.
She entered the room and walked in slowly.There was only a stretcher and the operation bed there.
She called out for Layla but she didn't get any reply.
That room was big but scary.Since she didn't see Layla there she decided to leave the room.As she was about to turn around the door was shut locked.
Lily ran toward the door and banged the door.She tried to open it but all her efforts went in vain.
Her knees started to give up.She was crying loudly.
Her breaths were very heavy.Suddenly she heard a sound of mental being dragged towards her.Lily's breath became harder again.She didn't have the courage to look back.The sound stopped just when it was near her.She saw a shadow that held an axe in its hand being lifted.Lily closed her eyes tightly.The axe was in the air and was coming near her.Lily felt the tip of the axe on her neck.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lily wake up from her bed panting heavily.She looked around and found herself in her bed.*huff huff huff* 'So that was all just a nightmare' she thought.
Her phone started to ring disturbing her thoughts.
Liky took her phone and saw the number of the dialer.It was the head nurse of her hospital.She picked up the call and waited for her to speak.
"Li-Lily...I have something important to tell you".Her voice sounded terrified and in a panic."Ma'am, Don't be panicked.Please tell me what happened clearly"
Lily told her.
"Lily....we found nurse Layla's corpse in the stairs on the 5th floor today morning.She was murdered by someone yesterday night".The head nurse said as she was trying to catch her breath.
Lily's phone fell down as she heard what happened.
It was the same place as where Layla was killed in her dream.Lily gulped down in fear and slowly turned her head around to see.She saw a person holding an axe that was drenched in blood in his hands standing there.........
"Nurse Lily...Lily can you hear me?Lily please reply me" *Beep beep beep beep*
