Ashley was sitting in her living room bored out of her mind. She had to babysit her little sister when all she wanted to do was hang out with her friends down at that new club. Ashley sighed loudly before walking over and turning off the episode of My Little Pony that her little sister, Riley, was watching.
"Why you do dat?" Riley asked with that annoying little kid lisp.
"Because I'm sick of hearing pinkie pie that's why!" Ashley found herself almost yelling at the young girl.
"Dat no fair. The hanging lady say she gonna make you pay for making me cry!" Riley screamed back at Ashley before running away to her room leaving a confused and slightly worried teenager.

Ashley spent the next thirty watching an episode of Life is Strange but couldn't focus on it. The entire time her mind was trying to process what had just happened but it couldn't wrap itself around what she meant by that last sentence. As worry and eventually panic filled her thoughts she ran upstairs to Riley's room.

She saw Riley drawing and sighed a breath of relief. At least she did until she saw what she was drawing. It was a drawing of her with a girl with blood flowing out of her eyes and a noose around her neck.

"Where...did you see this Riley? WHERE DID YOU SEE THIS!" Ashley shouted having a panic attack from the memories of it.

"She my friend," Riley replied innocently.

How did she get this? Is this my punishment? Her retribution? Is this how she gets even with me? All these thoughts ran through Ashley's mind and so many more. She sank to the ground trembling and hysterically sobbing.

The walls started to ooze out blood and as it slowly started to crawl down the walls it made them decay and peel. Moss started to grow and the ground turned hard and cold.

Ashley heard a loud echoey chuckle coming from in front of her but fear took control and she couldn't pry her eyes open to see where the sound was emanating from.

"Open your eyes you awful scum. You are the reason I'm here. You could have stopped me but you didn't!" The creature shouted at Ashley with overflowing furry.

"Now it is time for you to suffer what I did," The creature yelled at Ashley once more.

as the creature approached her she recognized her as her friend who committed suicide in front of her. She had tried so hard to stop her but in the end, she failed.

The girl touched her and she quickly passed out due to an extreme amount of pain that shot through her body. She woke up in a white-walled room strapped to a bed in a hospital gown. she noticed she had cuts all along her arms and her throat hurt so much. There were marks going all the way around it too.

"Mommy, what's happened to me," Ashley wailed out confused and upset.

"Shhhh, Go to sleep and let your mind rest in everlasting pain, Friend," Ashley's deceased friend said before once again touching her and sending her further into madness.

Ashley Williams, aged 15, has escaped the mental asylum she was signed into on the fourth of May, 2018. She has never been seen again and her safe return is still warranted and there is a 10,000$ reward for her arrival back to her family.
