The Evil Within: ''The Crave Within''

Endless thoughts ran through the mind of the detective, the words that were spoken before in the elevator by Ruvik was burning his mind, his body still breathing heavily from the encounter. ''Shit'' was the only thing that Sebastian kept telling himself as the elevator went down, trying to compose himself from the horror he had observed. At long last the elevator made its way down, halting at another level of the Victoriano Mansion the detective found himself trapped in, like a prison with no exits, only endless doors that led to more rooms. Thick heavy steps were carried out of the elevator that filled the level with iron draggings across the crimson red carpet. ''Shit. Where the fuck am I now?''. He murmured to himself, despite all the training as detective he had, this was entirely out of his league.

Sebastian decided to walk along the long corridor that had doors at each passing metre, dazed as if his mind was not clear, which it certainly was not. He couldn't forgot that this was not real, but it was realistic, as the bleeding wounds were on his arms and legs, it could not be ignored. Step after step he compelled himself to move on, every door looking the exact same, like dwelling in a maze, and at long last he paused himself, hunching down with deep breaths, gasps leaving his mouth as a unsettling vibe filled the air around him. ''Fuck..what the hell is going on!'' he yelled from the top of his lungs, only to have his cry answered with silence. The detective elevated both hands to run through the thick locks of onxy running across his skull, shaking his head.

Sudden footsteps were emitting behind the male, slow, but grinding across the floor, Sebastian cramped in fear, his heart gradually letting its beating become faster upon the sounds he took in. No longer would he linger as he decided to run for it, whatever was behind him, it was pure evil. In quick hurry he ran forth, opening the closest door near his being and walked in, ramming it shut as he sank down to the floor, skulking as his pupils dilated, the golden within his eyes was no longer vibrant from this nightmare, but copper, dimmed from terror.

The detective thought he was safe in that room, for atleast a moment, his breathing slowly returning to a healthy pace as he eyed around the room, which appeared as a master bedroom, a big bed in the center, adorned with silked sheets of red, aside with a decorated wooden closet on the left, and opposing it was a desk with a lit candle, scurried around the surface of the desk lay several documents and letters. A warm sigh of relief was let out, leaning his head back against the door for a moment as his eyes closed, contemplating on what to do. How to get out of this mansion. Eventually his eyelids lifted, eyes opening again, only to see two bodies against the bed-end on the floor, stained with blood. ''This..isn't good.''. He thought.

Not moments later, with widened eyes he lifted himself up from the skulked position he allowed himself in. Hands clamping against the wall's surface as his eyes remained steady on the corpses, scanning them thoroughly as his instinct and habbit of from the police force would do. Not without caution though, he slipped towards the couple, a female and a male, these were... ''Hello ''Seb''..''. Rang a voice throughout the silence of the room, disturbed again by the familiar tone. The detective instantly looked around as he took hold of his gun, index-finger pressing against the trigger as he searched for the voice. ''Where are you! Show yourself, Ruben!''. He shouted, clearly agitated by being chased all the time, even more by the fact Ruvik was tugging his strings like a lifeless human puppet.

At this point, Sebastian was frantically searching around the room, staying close to the walls in first thought it'd be wise, the gun safely gripped in his right, albeit convincing himself this was all fake, his body began warming up intensely from the anxiety the male was experiencing. Heaving his chest up perpetually, feeling his heartbeat raising with much regret, he knew this is was Ruvik wanted. At a mere blink, Ruvik appeared before his visual, the white eyes staring into the copper orbs of the detective. Sebastian could not speak, like his tongue was missing, it was if something was consuming him in its entity.
