EXO: The 14th Floor
The Elevator
Your POV
I slowly wake up to discover myself in what seems to be a small room. Honestly, I'm not quite sure how I ended up hear, wasn't I with Luhan just a second ago?
-Flashback-
-ding-
The elevator doors open and exiting out of it was the same possessed staff member who I thought had disappeared.
"______, stay with me. I'm not going to let him touch you again." Luhan said to me as he squeezed my hand tight.
"Ne oppa" and I squeezed his hand back.
Everything was chaotic with all the lights breaking, doors slamming and opening. All this while hearing incredibly scary screams and laughter. Tao managed to hold off the staff member for a while until he was THROWN AGAINST THE WALL and was knocked out.
"TAO!!!!!" we all screamed. Luhan and I started to head towards him and make sure he was okay but we were distracted by one of the chandeliers almost falling on us. We had no choice but to run in the opposite direction.
Somewhere within all the chaos I tripped over something and I lost Luhan, when I looked up I could clearly see him looking for me. I tried to reach out to him but my body was aching.
Next thing I know, I see the employee lurking behind Luhan. He's going to corner him! I have to warn him.
"Luha-" I tried to yell however my voice was cut off from a cold hand covering my mouth and I feel myself being dragged away.
-End of Flashback-
I try to sit up when I feel a huge pain on my left side. I look down to see my wounded arm that I recieved earlier from that stupid employee has opened up again.
Oh great, I sarcastically think to myself.
Wait. Where the hell is Exo? Where is Luhan? In fact, where am I?
I slowly manage to stand up and see mirrors on all the walls, and from looking at the reflection of the mirror in front of me I quickly figure out I'm inside an elevator.
I remember what Luhan was reading earlier tonight...
He then later trapped her in the elevator.
Omo, this can't be happening!
I look towards the buttons on the side and push them all frantically to try to open the elevator, or get to the ground floor, or use the emergency phone, or just get something to work! Anything! But it's no use, all the buttons are broken, I'm trapped.
I start freaking out, what if I don't make it out of here? I turn to the elevator door and start hitting it as loud as I can, maybe someone will hear me.
"HELLO?!" "ANYONE THERE?" "PLEASE, HELP" ....no response.
Where am I anyway? Am i still on the 14th floor? I could be in the basement for all I know. I search my pockets to get my phone out when I soon realise that I left it in Kris's room. So once again I decide to scream for help while banging on the door.
"HELP!" I wait to hear an answer and when nobody replies I start crying. This is hopeless. Nobody can hear me.
"_______?" I hear a worried but soft voice come from the other side of the door. Hold on I know that voice, it's Luhan!
"Luhan?!" I reply, trying to stop my sobbing.
"______!! Yeah it's me and the others. Please tell me you're alright." It's difficult to hear him so I put my face right against the door.
"I'm fine, j-j-just scared" Then I hear another voice.
"________? It's me, Suho. Don't panic, We're gonna get you out of there. Whatever you do just keep talking to us so we know you're okay."
"Sure. Please hurry."

5am
The boys and I have tried everything but yet I'm still stuck in this god damn elevator.
Besides the members who are too injured to do anything, Exo have tried forcing the door open, researching more on the internet and trying to call for help. I on the other hand have been hopelessly pressing buttons. I found an emergency exit on the ceiling of the elevator but I'm not tall enough to reach it. Stupid designs, how do they expect someone to use the escape exit if they are short?!?!
Meanwhile I did what Suho told me to do and kept sure I was talking to somebody. I've been talking with Chanyeol, Kai, Sehun and at the moment, Luhan. I've finally accepted it, I like him, more than a friend. I might even love him. I mean this entire week he has been so sweet to me and risked himself to protect me. Whenever I was afraid I would turn to him and immediately felt safe and happy again. How can I not fall for him?
And right now in situations like this, I really need him.
In fact we were just laughing about the time when Kai use to be afraid of D.O back when we were trainees when the elevator starts shaking and I hear a loud noise.
"_______, what's happening??" Luhan asks, even though I can't see him I can hear the panic in his voice. When the elevator calms down I reply to him.
"I don't know, it just started shaking. Tell the others to move it along and GET ME OUT!"
I hear Luhan yelling something to the others and then I hear Chanyeol's voice.
"______? Please don't freak out but I have some bad news."
"What is it?" I ask.
"We think one of the four cables to the elevator snapped, that's why it is shaking."
"WHAT?! IF THE OTHERS SNAP, I'LL FALL 14 STORIES. GET ME OUT!" tears threaten to spill again but I don't let them. Crying isn't going to do anything right now.
"I thought I told you not to freak out."
"CHANYEOL!" I yell at him.
"I know, Sorry noona I just need you to be calm right now. We are going to try forcing the door open again" he replies.
"Okay"
I can hear some of them talking and then struggle to open the door. I see the doors open maybe a crack and I think I see one of their faces when the screen above the elevator door turns on and I hear the elevator moving. The elevator door slamming shut.
"________!" The exo members start calling for me.
"W-whats happening?!" I reply, stuttering in fear.
"______?!"
And they're gone. I look above the door to see that the elevator is going down. Maybe I'll be safe after all?
12th floor
11th floor
Then bang, I hear another cable snap and the elevator shakes more violently. Why is the elevator going down?
8th floor
7th floor
I fall over and grab the rail to support myself. Bang another cable, one left.
5th floor
4th floor
3rd floor
The elevator stops, everything is quiet.
I crouch into the corner and decide to cover my head and all vital body parts while still holding on to the rail. Because frankly I have a feeling I know what is coming next.
SNAP and as all the lights go out and as the elevator falls to the ground I quickly shut my eyes and think to myself,
"Luhan, saranghae"
I slowly wake up to discover myself in what seems to be a small room. Honestly, I'm not quite sure how I ended up hear, wasn't I with Luhan just a second ago?
