Chapter 17 - floor 017

"GIRLS! I miss ya'll already!" Stacey exclaims through her camera.

Leila was so busy trying not to fall asleep when Stacey sent a group video call to her and the others.

"We just saw each other literally a week and 2 days ago Stacey."

"Yah! I am older than you Jane. Who told you to drop off your honorifics with me?!" Jane and Stacey laugh together whilst Leila remained silent. Rheanne notices this right away.

"Yah Lei. Are you okay?" With this, Jane and Stacey immediately have their eyes on Leila now. They see it completely since the internet connection is strong and fast. Her eyes were very tired, her lips seemed pale, and she's getting some pimples.

"Have you even sleeping?" Jane questions but Leila continues to stare into nowhere, trying to open her eyes time by time.

"Yah! Leila!" This time, Stacey had caught Leila's attention.

"Yes, that's okay for me!" Leila answers which made the three girls confuse.

"That's it. I'm going there and I'll tell the boys about this." Stacey says and left the call.

"Me too." Jane and Rheanne say and leave the call as well, leaving Leila in the call alone and so Leila ended the call who is still spaced out.

JASPER just ended the call with the boys to get prepared to go to June's house. Lately, they see the guy seem so restless and out of concentration so they decided to pay him a visit.

As soon as he started the car, his phone rang. He answers it.

"Yes, My Love?"

["Love, can you come with me to visit Leila? She seems so off lately."']

Jasper squints his eyes at this, "Oh really? June seemed off lately too. Hold on, I'll go to Leila after going to June's apartment."

["Oh okay. Let me know June's condition too later. Take care. I love you!"]

"I love you too!" And with that Stacey ends the call.

Once Jasper arrives, the rest of the boys are already there surrounding June.

"Yah June that's the third coffee you had since we got here!"

"Hey, what's happening here?" Jasper asks everyone but facing Howard since he was the last one to talk before he came in.

"Well, June here can't stop drinking coffee for the past 10 minutes." Howard answers.

"And God knows how much more he drank before we all came here." Yhael remarks.

"Who knows if he keeps drinking coffee for the past days!" Max exclaims.

"I told you guys, I'm okay—"

"Quit it June. Why do you seem restless these days? Are you even sleeping? Why are you experiencing the same thing as Leila's?"

"Lisa's experiencing the same thing?!—"

"Shut up Tanner. This is not the time to get concerned first. We need to know what's happening or we don't know how on Earth will we help them."

Everyone went quiet as they look in June.

"Go on, June." Alexander signals him to tell the truth.

June sighs in defeat, "You all know that in the Elevator Game when you look or engage with the woman, she can follow you in your dreams or even possess you to death?"

Everyone nods. Just then, realization hits all of them and June didn't even need to continue. Everyone got the message.

The woman is following them in their dreams.

The silence was broken when Max's phone rang and so he answered it immediately seeing that it was Rheanne calling him.

"Hello, babe—"

["M-Max! P-Please come h-here! L-Leila ho-house. We need you!! AHHHHHH!!"] And he heard a demonic laugh and the last thing he heard before the call ended is something hitting the wall and the phone seemed to hit the floor.
