The picture on Linda's bed side table stared at her and she had had enough. Moving quickly she pulled her covers off and was slipping her feet into her runners.
Wearing the same thing she went to bed in, black tracksuits, a white long sleeve top and a puma jumper, Linda left the house and made her way to the old hospital on foot.
The night was dark and shadows seemed to be following her every footsteps. The lights from the street lamp didn't do much, only illuminating one circle making each imagined shadow larger.
She had made it through two streets and one alley way but the constant thought of being attacked loomed in her mind, causing only the imagination to take over. I should not have come, I'm going to die any second now...Arrgghh! what was that?
The sudden sound from behind stopped Linda in her place. She stood there unable to move with tears of fear running down her face. Her arms crossed over her chest, hugging her self for comfort.
Nothing had happened in the time she stood frozen and Linda started to relax, first her arms dropped to her side and she took a deep breath. But then the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard and Linda's relaxed mood was gone and she started into a sprint. Running as fast as she could, without looking back, until she found a dumpster and hid behind it. She stayed there crouched, arms wrapped around her legs and her head resting on her knees, for five minutes but Linda could still hear the sound of someone or something approaching.
It began to get louder and Linda didn't dare move. Suddenly it stopped. She let a sigh of relief escape her mouth, but then all of a sudden a large shadow blocked the little light she had and Linda let out, what was meant to be a loud, ear piercing scream but came out as a little squeak. Just audible for your own ears to hear. She sat there shivering, not due to coldness but because of the thoughts that raced through her mind of what may or may not be her fate.
The shadow still loomed over her, she expected to feel pain except nothing happened. Slowly Linda lifted her head and saw her scary attacker. It was a cat. What an idiot. How can you confuse the sound of a cats paw to the sound of human footsteps. The cat just sat there staring at her with its big green eyes.
Ignoring it Linda realised why she was out of bed at three in the morning, in the pitch black of the night and started running again. This time to the hospital which she knew was only two streets away.

There it was the big old Melbourne hospital. Linda crouched behind a over grown bush waiting for something to happen and then movement caught her eye. Twenty meters away from the entrance Jamie was pacing back and forth. Why hasn't he entered yet? Stopping and looking at the door trying to decide whether to enter and risk it or head home and leave it up to the police? A couple more paces and Jamie had made up his mind. One more look and Jamie charged at the entranced, the door opened automatically like it was still in use for all these years it's been shut down.
Linda watched the entranced for half an hour more and no one exited. Deciding that it would be worthless if she left without knowing Linda emerged from her hiding spot and crept along the front, trying as best she can to blend into the darkness. Just as they did for Jamie the doors opened and Linda entered. On the doormat Linda stood looking around and absorbing the scenery. Dust covered each floor tile, each section of wall and every surface. Linda looked down at the floor expecting to see the footsteps of Jamie's feet but nothing but dust covered the floor. "Jamie, hello?" Linda's voiced echoed and no reply came.
She started forward. Scared, but her determination of finding her daughter brought her foot in front of the other, starting to walk. Linda just noticed as she turned the corner that the blackness of the night did not occur in here. The lights were on and working, a shiver ran down her spine. Ignoring the fact that she was completely frightened she walked down the first corridor. Everything was silent besides the sound of Linda's own breath, it was cold and nothing was here. The rooms were empty and no one was there besides Linda. Half way down the second corridor she gave up and convinced herself that her daughter and Jamie, who she suspects left through another door, was not here. So she turned around and started back.

It was hot and the sun was out, blinding Linda as she adjusted her eyes. Stepping away from the hospital Linda began to walk home, the way she came.

Should I go in? I should go. No, go in and find your daughter.
Acting for that moment Jamie ran, ran to the door. Where he was going to find his daughter and keep her safe.
Charging at the door he expected to have to force it open. To his surprise it opened automatically, just like it use to, when it was occupied.
He found himself looking at shiny white walls with bright yellow lights, too bright to be natural. It was an actual hospital.
Not sure what to do Jamie started to walk, unsure of himself he hadn't expected this. Everywhere was shiny white walls and bright yellow lights, it looked like a running hospital. Each room he passed had beds, plenty supplies and even very weird looking machines, but it was missing something. People. No one, no where it was empty and quiet.

Now on the fifth level Jamie came across the adolescent ward. Not sure why but Jamie entered. Straight through the door human eyes stared at him, well he thought human anyway. He stood there, scared. Staring into the eyes of another being Jamie heard something, beeping, from a hospital machine. A machine that could be hooked to his daughter, or even Ashley.
Walking around the lonely corridors thinking it was dead silent and now standing there finally finding what he was looking for, made the past hour seem like he was walking around a eighteenth party. Loud and confusing.
The receptionist looked scared, her eyes were large, like trying to send a warning. But she wouldn't take her eyes away. Why?.

"Hello Jamie" Where did that voice come from, how did it know my name? "come sit down and wait for your daughter and her lovely friend"
Jamie obeyed. Not seeming to distrust the voice or think twice about what he was doing.
Once seated Jamie's eyes went back to the receptionist, her gaze never left his. Her eyes grew wider, like she was scared.

Jamie sat there obeying the voice, until his thoughts became his own again. The doubts and the confusion of this place came back and that's when the receptionist actually moved and transported him to the basement.

...It didn't take long for Jamie to recover and remember that his daughter was in that hospital room being treated by a thing. "I don't care about your world just yet!" he yelled "I want to know if..if shes still.." He trailed off, not wanting his voice to crack. Danni understood and answered. "Stephanie and Ashley are still alive and are leaving this hospital alive but there memories of the past ten years of their lives will be gone"
"WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN TEN YEARS OF THEIR LIVES WILL BE GONE?"
"Calm down will you. It's far better than what would have happened to you if the doctor knew you were still alive and if you don't keep that mouth of yours open he might hear you." Jamie gasped and quickly recovered "Can you just tell me what is going on, how can this old hospital, which has been unused for many years, be a real hospital when I walked in but the old building it is when the police came in? Just answer that for me." he hesitated and then added "please!"
"Well there's no point lying and I guess the truth straightforward is what you want, right?" Jamie nodded. "Okay then. The reason why you able to see part of our world is because we let you. We saw the police approach and quickly made sure that the building looked like the old building it is. But then the doctor saw you approach and thought he would have some fun. He's a cruel man, he wanted me to capture you and...and kill you. Then leave you lying on one of the beds so he could, oh I don't know if I could say it"
"Please, I need to know everything"
Danielle hesitated. Then seeing no point in keeping it from him he forced herself to say the words. "he wanted to cut you into pieces." Danielle flinched and so did Jamie.
"Why...would..he...do...that?" Jamie choked
"Well, the doctor created the other world.."
"What other world?" Jamie nagged
They were sitting cross legged facing each other and Jamie was taking this news pretty well.
"If you stop interrupting we will get there. Anyways the Doc started his first creation of this world in the 1970's.."
"Danielle! Where are you?" the Doc yelled through the walls.
Quickly Danielle yanked Jamie up and pushed him through the back door, then whispered in his ear "Run as far as you can, just go. Get out of the state. He knows your alive"
"But Stephi and Ashley and I don't know everything" Jamie pleaded
"Just go!" Dani shut the door and teleported back to the doctor.
"Sorry Doc." Danielle started
"Don't apologize to me. I know you let that human escape and before I could even erase his memory!" He yelled
"You were going to do worse than that."
"SHUT UP! I'll deal with you later." He shut the rooms door and went back to work.
