[Richan POV]
I woke up from my sleep, but I think it's not morning yet because outside my window is still pitch dark; I'm trying to find my phone, but I can't find it, maybe I left it in the living room; I'm trying to grab some drink at the dining room, I get up, and I open my door, but it won't budge, I spin the knob and try to pull the door, but it still won't budge.
.
I cannot lock it from the other side because the door can only be locked from my side.
.
Now I'm in a panic. "What is going on here? There is no way this is real," I said while still confused about what had just happened.
.
In desperate measures, I start to panic and bang on the door, yelling, but the door still won't budge, nor do my parents respond. "MOM, PAPAA, PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR. I'm STUCK IN HERE; PLEASE HELP!"
.
*Knock knock, and banging sound*
.
No matter how hard I yelled or banged, the door still wouldn't budge, and my parent did not come for my help. I even cried because it was so dark and gloomy inside my room; I decided to calm down not so long ago. One last effort: I got on both knees and prayed to God.
.
"Oh God, please help me, I'm scared here, please open the door, please…"
After I prayed desperately, I heard the sound of *click* coming from the door, and I got up, then I approached the door and thought to myself, I try to open the door, and it was...opened, it was like the door already unlocked but, from the other side.
.
I don't know how, but someone unlocks the door and leaves, not taking too long. Then I leave my room but realize something is not right; this is not my home. I'm in the middle of something like an interior from a grand palace, a castle, just like a video game I always play.
.
There is a big picture, an Armor statue, even a banner. The banner had some draw on it; I think it looked like a dragon and moon; looking around again, the place I just left my room looked like a long corridor.
.
After watching the situation around me, I tried to calm down, but I finally decided to wander this place slowly while hoping that I could leave this place.
.
"What is this place? Just why am I suddenly here? Where is everyone?" I said to myself while wandering this place
.
Around 30 minutes after I decided to wander this place, I got to a dead-end. In response, I turned around, but something felt weird before I got back the other way. Then I glanced back behind, and suddenly, there was a door there, which was initially empty.
.
Surprisingly, I said to myself, "What the? But just now, that door isn't there."
.
Because of curiosity, I walked up to the door, opened it, and found it unlocked. I take a peek inside the room. It's a big room big enough to hold a school ceremony inside and has four other doors, too.
.
But I also saw something in the middle of the room, like a glass podium with something inside it; I approached it even closer, and what I saw inside it was familiar.
.
"Hmm? Why is this here? It is supposed to be in my cupboard," I said while looking at it.
.
It is my favorite toy sword ornament necklace, which I always wear wherever I go and put inside a drawer before I sleep. I got this necklace from my father, who returned from long work in Turkey when I was six years old; I treasured it like an artifact.
.
I tried to reach the necklace inside the podium, but it was useless. I don't even know how to get it inside the podium; something seems to keep it there.
.
Not thinking much about it, I tried to wander the room again, from one room to another room, starting from the first room to the right one. I opened the door and what I saw inside really made me confused, it was my bedroom, wait a minute but wasn't my bedroom back there? Oh well, whatever.
.
Trying to move on, then I go to the second room, inside it's also a bedroom, the only difference is the wallpaper, and the floor is black colored, and the third room too, it's a bedroom again, but the wallpaper and floors are in shiny silver colors.
.
It does not take long to the last fourth room on the left. I opened the door; I took a peek inside first. It was not a bedroom this time, but the room was...white, all white, from floor to the ceiling it was plain white, and the room was empty, except the room was so long, almost like a corridor, and I saw there is another door on the other side.
.
It's a plain door, a plain red door to be precise, but the red, just like pure blood color. At first glance, the door seems normal until I can't move an inch of my body and approach it involuntarily.
.
My body moves on its own towards the door; step by step, I'm getting closer to the door; my entire body is shivering, my cold sweats are dropping, and I can't stop my body. It's just like I'm being controlled to approach the door.
.
I'm getting terrified. No matter how much I tried, I still couldn't stop my body, but then I stopped moving forward. At first, I felt glad that it finally stopped, but what foolish of me to think it was. For that, I realize that I'm already in front of the door.
.
I can feel it, the smell, the fear, that makes every fiber of my muscles in my body shiver; I have a big desire to puke, but I can hold it somehow.
.
When I thought it had finally ended, suddenly, my right hand moved; it was reaching for the doorknob, and I couldn't stop my hand. It felt like I didn't have any authority over my own body. I almost get the doorknob. I don't want to open this door; it is just giving me chills, but I can't stop my hand. I beg for help, but I don't know if it will work.
.
"Somebody, please help me, please…."
.
I think it's a futile effort, and no one seems to come. I give up, and my only choice is to let my hand open it, but then when my hand is just about to reach the knob.
.
I heard a voice, and it said, "Stop... don't touch the door."
.
There is a tiny whispering voice that sounds like a man's. He told me not to touch the door.
.
But what must I do? I can't even stop my own body, eh wa… wa….wait, I can move my hand, I can also move my body. It seems like I'm getting back control of my body.
.
I didn't have a clue where the voice was coming from. I tried to look behind me, and there was no other person than me in this room, but I knew what the voice meant to tell me. It was telling me to stay away from this door.
.
I can move my body again, but I don't know why that I'm still freezing in front of this door, it just like both of my eyes are locked on the door that I almost get in lost with it, it seems to have some power to hypnotize, but then, there is this voice again.
.
"get away from there," he said to me, but then the sound stopped for a second, and it came again, but now it's yelling out loud.
"GET OUT FROM THERE, NOWW!!!!!" he said while yelling at me,
.
Suddenly, something warped to the walls from inside the door. The wall around the door was changing color to red, like blood. Red colors were spreading so fast from the door; it was moving like it was alive. The red-like things scattered around the room so quickly, and my gut feeling told me to leave here ASAP. Still, before I began running, I saw something like a tentacle lurking from the back of the door. It was dark and spikey, and the stench smelled like the most rotten thing in the world.
.
Not taking a long time, I began to run with haste. I do not dare to look behind even for a second after running, but I can feel it; the red thing catches up to me from behind. I'm starting to lose my breath, and my legs are about to give out, but finally, I'm returning to the main room with the necklace podium.
.
There, where I finally look behind, the room with the red door. Before, the room was all white, but now it's all red; it's the red thing filling that room right now.
.
After around 10 seconds, the red things start to lurk back to the red door; it looks like something is preventing it from coming here; then, the fourth door is closed by itself, leaving only an eerie aura behind.
.
I wonder what that room was, but whatever it is, it's a bad idea to come back there.
.
After the disaster that almost came to me, I tried to calm myself. I took a seat beside the glass podium, leaning on it, and took a breath. The podium was so warm, and I felt safe. Suddenly, I felt sleepy, but I tried my best to resist, but it was futile. My head felt so relaxed, and I closed my eyes, fall asleep.
