I wake up to Kynlee shaking me gently awake. She holds a paper bag in her hands.
" Is that food?" I ask groggily. She nods smiling. I get up and try reaching for the food.
" Nuh uh, you gotta get dressed first." She says holding away the food.
" Fiiineee." I groan rolling my eyes. I get up and walk to my suitcase pulling out my outfit for the day. Which is black, baggy cargo pants with a silver chain connected to the waistband, a long-sleeved undershirt, and a t-shirt top over it and black combat boots. I brush my light, brown hair, and put on the minimal amount of makeup I wear everyday which consists of mascara, lip gloss, and some light eye shadow, deodorant, and my circular glasses.
" Okay, now can I have my food?" I ask walking over to Kynlee, trying to grab the food that she's holding away from me. Kynlee's 5'11 and I'm 5'8 do you see the difference? She's way taller than me which just makes it unfair. She lowers her arm and hands me my food, which I happily take over to the " Table" and eat it.
I look over at Kynlee and take a look at her appearance today. Her dark, tight, chocolate brown curls bounced on her shoulders, she had a white cami which represented her light olive skin perfectly, ripped denim shorts, a black leather biker jacket and her black chucks. Her dark hazel eyes are complimented with perfect winged-eyeliner and mascara. Her pink lips pop out with the shiny lip gloss.
' She looks pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.' I thought to myself.
" You ready to go?" She asks. " Our interview with one of the witnesses is in thirty minutes." She tells me. My eyes widen with remembrance.
" Shit!" I say aloud. I hear Kynlee chuckle, which causes me to smile. I throw my paper plate away and grab our camera.
" Okay, now I'm ready" I say. Kynlee nods and we start out the door. Kynlee turns around and locks it.
" Can we record you?" Kynlee asks. The man and the woman nod. " Hello y'all! It's your girls! Madi and Lee! And today we are with-" Kynlee pauses and waits for their names.
" I'm John." The male says.
" I'm Judy." The woman chimes.
" And today we are with John and Judy who are gonna explain a bit about the asylum." Kynlee finished and sets the recording camera down.
"Um, It's not necessarily abandoned, we're the caretakers of the place basically, so we do encounter a lot of unexplainable things." Judy says.
" Me and Judy were leading another group like yours around when one of the girls in the back yelped. We stopped and the girl lifted her shirt to find three deep scratches in a perfect line on her left side." John said.
" So, a demon scratched her is what you're saying?" Kynlee clarified.
" That's what we think, yes." John nodded.
" There was another encounter I had with myself. Before 12 am we check the asylum and clean up a bit before leaving, well when I was cleaning up some glass I found, I looked up and there was a full body apparition, about seven feet tall standing just a few doors down." Judy pauses to breathe.
" I started to chase after it, just in case it was a homeless person or something, but when I entered a no-exit room, it was gone." Judy explained. " I managed to capture a bit of it before it fully turned the corner." Judy explains while pulling out her phone
"This is what I caught." She replies, holding out her phone showing a picture of a black, full body apparition turning the corner.
" Oh my god." Kynlee breathes. My eyes widen, I'm speechless, no picture I've seen was that clear of an apparition.
" That's cool!" I finally manage. Judy nods, and puts her phone away.
" So, lemme tell you. You are most likely gonna get a lot of activity from this asylum."
" Thank you, guys for letting us interview with you!" Kynlee says knowing we need to wrap it up. Judy and John nod and take turn shaking our hands. After our good bye, I realize it's fucking 9 pm!
" Oh shit! It's time for the investigation." I tell Kynlee. She nods and calls another Uber. When the Uber arrives it's completely silent all the way back to the Hotel.
" Remember, we can't split up. We can't rise the risks of trouble or injury." Kynlee reminds me of our constant safe "law" while packing our equipment.
" Yep, I know, I don't plan to leave your side." I tell her. She nods and swings the pack around her shoulder.
" Let's bust this joint." She breathes out. I smile and nod, on our way out, she turns around and locks our hotel room door.
" Just in case." She adds.
< At the Sanatorium>
" What's going on y'all! It's Madi and Lee and today... We are at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum!" Kynlee releases our intro to YouTube in an ecstatic way, by smiling and spreading her arms wide.
" You will be joining us on a solo investigation of one of the most haunted, abandoned asylums IN. THE. WORLD." Kynlee explains some.
" There are at least a supposed amount of 2,000 spirits haunting the place, some demonic and some... friendly? Ones." I add.
" They aren't really any friendly ones." Kynlee points out. " This place was more of a torture chamber than a place where they try to make you better." Kynlee warns.
" I'll explain more as we go on." She says walking in through the doors. " Whew it's dusty!" Kynlee waves her hand in her face as she tries to get the dust out of her face. " Let's go." She says after a minute of silence.
" This is the office, where the patients would be dragged in and registered before entering the worst place of their life." Lee informs. A thud rings off loud, from down the hallway.
" What the fuck was that?" She says turning around fast to look down. " Pardon my language." She quickly apologizes.
" Wanna check it out?" I ask, pointing the camera at her and giving her a mischievous smirk.
" You know, that famous smirk of yours is gonna be the end of me one day." Kynlee chuckles, shaking her head. " But yeah, let's go, investigate. Ooooh." Lee wiggles her fingers at the last part, making me laugh.
" I'm excited! All in!"
