"Follow The Arrows" Creepypasta

one evening my friends Jeff and Dave and a bar for a few drinks when I went to the bathroom and I walked into one of the stalls I happened to notice some writing on the door it read follow the arrows I looked around but I didn't see any arrow so I didn't think much more about it however two hours later I had to use the bathroom again as I walked through the door I accidentally bumped the light switch my shoulder and the room went completely dark and that's what I noticed it on the ceiling above my head there is a trail of glow-in-the-dark arrows they looked that they had been there for quite a while I was intrigued I wanted to follow the arrows and find out were they lied I went back to the table until Jeff and Dave what I discovered and they were curious too we decided to investigate I went home and I got a black light it's kind of like a small flashlight button and illuminates things that are invisible to the naked eye when I returned to the bar it was almost closing time Dave and Jeff were waiting for me their faces full of excitement I went to the bathroom and had tested my black light on some of the painted arrows it worked like a charm they glow brightly we followed the trail of arrows as they'd led from the toilet across the scene of the bar n out onto the street with my black light I searched around for invisible arrows on the ground I found one I followed the arrow keeping my black light inches from the ground well he bent it back and forth as Dave and Jeff all closed behind a few feet away I found another arrow and then another and another still I was following these arrows down a sidewalk for about two blocks we started wondering where the hell these arrows were taking us finally and got to an arrow pointing us in a new direction it was a driveway leading to an empty lot that was surrounded by a tall metal fence we couldn't see what was inside the arrows led up to the gate and Jeff pushed on the gate but it was locked we decided to jump over the fence and Jeff went first getting a firm hand hold at the top then pulling himself over I put the black line in my pocket and I took a running leap at the gate Dave gave me a helping hand pushing my legs from underneath until I tumbled over the fence and then Dave found hauling himself over the tall fence with surprising ease we found ourselves in what looked like an old parking lot we'd sprang from the cracks in the broken concrete I pulled at the black light on I quickly found another arrow we followed the new trail slowly on and led us to a small Shack in the middle of the parking lot I know what this is said Dave it used to be a drive-in movie theater and I think that's the concession stand over there as we approached the building we saw it was boarded up there was some faded lettering on the wall that red popcorn Dave shrugged so why'd the arrow lures people to buy popcorn we've walked around the building in tow we came to a door in the bag it was secured by an old combination padlock my blackleg picked up something scrawled on the door and glow in pain it was a series of numbers 1 3 5 6 jeff entered the numbers in the combination locked and pulled it open with the satisfying click we pushed on the old door in it swung open within having his creak and Jeff peeked inside I can't see anything he said I peeked inside the door is shining my black light it was useless and I cursed myself for not bringing a real flashlight just as I was about to suggest that we head back home and return another day I heard a click in a dim light appeared in the old building David found the light switch this place looks like it hasn't been used in at least 30 years said Jeff look at this parking lot there are trees in it and the electricity is still on I replied someone is still paying the bills we walked in and saw that the interior was surprisingly clean apart from a thin coating of dust it was the sort of dust you would expect to find in an ancient Egyptian tomb the shelves are empty in a cabinet stood on the far side of the room and they've walked over and cautiously open dead hole guys look at this he exclaimed the shelves were packed with candy boxes I recognized Cracker Jacks and Hershey's bars but Ellie wasn't very old dropping my black flat on the floor and grabbed excitedly for a giant box of chocolate before I could examine them further I heard Jeff say guys check this out he was standing over a hatch in the floor he had pulled it up him and was peering down into the darkness maybe there's another light down there he said he went down the set of steps that led into the cellar and Dave and I followed closely I'm trying to find a light switch I was halfway to the bottom of the stairs when I heard a clicking a dim light bulb flickered in the dusty basement found it said Jeff we walked towards the light bumping into empty shelves ends changed a breeze canvas bags like sacks of potatoes littered the floor and four covered in dust on one of the shelves I spotted some old film canisters we hurried over reading the titles it seemed to be mostly older monster movies we all jumped when we heard a loud whirring sound it seemed to be coming from near the stairs and it sounded somehow familiar like an electric power tool through the hatch at the top of the stairs we saw the shadow shift and change and at last the Sun stopped we stood for a moment our hearts beating harder our jaws and then we all ran over to the hash to investigate my mind could not comprehend what I saw the hatch we had come through only moments ago was not blocked by iron bars jeff ran up the steps as fast as he could and he grasped at the iron bars rattling them violently they wouldn't budge there was some sort of motorized contraption attached to the iron bars it was so dark though that I could barely make it out I reached it in my pocket for my black light and that's when I realized I had left it upstairs Jeff stood next to me and held up his cell phone in the dim light I could just make out a giant metal box that was mounted on the basement ceiling if there were a way to access the device I couldn't see it Dave gasped suddenly and ran open to one of the canvas bags on the floor he drank it into the light and were to untie it when he was done Essam look into the bag him make a sound I'd never heard before something between a scream and a moan he started hyperventilating and Jeff and I ran over to look into the bag at first I couldn't tell what I was looking at and then I saw the hair in the pill flash I dropped the bag and vomited violently I tried to speak but vomited again Jeff i gassed my throat ah your phone call the police call him now I put my hand on Dave's shoulder he was slowly rocking back and forth trying to control his breathing and calm himself I looked around there were about a dozen similar bags on the floor the Jeff eventually got through to someone on the phone he explained where the bar was and how he had walked several blocks to a parking lot with the fence around it he told them about the concession stand in the basement with the light iron bars I grabbed the phone look I said there are dead bodies and bags down here dozens of them the woman on the other hand side just stay calm I want you to just stand the line with me and give me your names we told her who we were and we answered her questions I knew we should consider the phone batteries but she was a lifeline out of this crazy situation after we'd answered all of her questions she said you know making prank calls to emergency rescue services is a very serious crime my blood turn cold she thought we were joking as calmly as I could a crowd ma'am I swear to you I have never been more serious in my life please send someone down here if we're lying you can arrest us just send somebody please the young man she replied don't you have better things to do on a school night already click as she hung up the phone she didn't believe us I whispered give me the phone said Dave he died the operator and spoke calmly and deliberately operator I'd like to speak to the new hyde park police please this is an emergency no I don't want 9-1-1 or dispatch I want the police department there was a moment of silence and then he spoken indeed boys hello officer I would like to report some teenagers causing a disturbance and an abandoned building they're throwing things around smashing bottles and wrecking the plays I saw them drag a little girl down in the basement it sounds awful bad just awful someone needs to get their butt down here quick before they heard that little girl brilliant Dave it's brilliant I thought it could have kissed him he gave the officer of the location of the lot and the description it was perfect after answering some more of the officers questions he begged her once again to hurry and hung up the phone just then we heard the sound of a car pulling up outside wow that was fast said Dave that's not the cops I whispered we heard a car door open and close and then heavy footsteps trampled across the gravel Jeff ran over to the hatch with the iron bars we're down here he yelled help please were down here and the footsteps are slow and deliberate overhead a pair of work boots and dirty blue jeans appeared at the top of the stairs Jeff stumbled back down the stairs you look pale I looked up and saw bear fur man standing there he was intimidated ly large he was smoking a cigarette staring down at us excuse me sir I began but he just walked away as if he hadn't heard me and he went outside we heard him get something heavy out of his vehicle and then drag it inside whatever it was he set it down with a thumb then we saw a plastic tarp roll across the iron bars moments later had the son of duct tape the hatch was closed and we were alone listen to the sounds of the man working working we were sure on something evil the sort of evil that is rarely seen the sort of evil then you don't live to tell anybody about suddenly we heard a hissing sound it was high-pitched and steady I was confused gasp said Dave I think he's pumping some sort of gas at here we ran around looking for the source bo within minutes were growing light-headed Jeff collapsed in the corner and Dave rushed over and tried to help him but he passed out as well I slumped to the floor killing myself drifting into unconsciousness I heard sirens in the distance and then there was nothing when I awoke I was lying on the concrete floor I tried to sit up on my arms are so weak they gave out on me my head felt like he weighed 100 pounds and I heard coffee behind me startled I rolled over and I saw Davis he began to come around there was a moment of confusion as I looked around the dusty room and then it all snapped back in place adrenaline pumping my muscles found new strength and I grabbed Dave's collar Dave we've got to get out of I stop mid-sentence as I heard voices upstairs excuse me sir said the first voice we've had reports of a disturbance out here have you heard anything unusual there was a very long pause and then a deep baritone voice said yes officer there are some kids in this place making a hell of a racket I came over here to run them off you own this property sir that's the police officer the Mandan get a chance to answer before us how did screaming at the top of my lungs Dave join me in Jeffster but I was too busy running up the stairs and potted on the hash to pay any attention to him Dave grabbed a couple of metal film canisters and smashed them together making it on a holy racket if anything more was set upstairs we didn't hear it what we did here was a scuffle that ensued the two men upstairs were slamming each other into the walls one of them fell to the floor with a heavy thud there was a gunshot and then another finally we heard his second body slip onto the floor we all stayed silent for a moment praying that the police officer was triumphant we heard nothing officer I shouted through the hatch I heard a moan and then a weak voice crowd I I think I'm hurt I think I think and then there was nothing officer I shot it again as I patterned the hatch there was no response Jeff and Dave were behind me at the base of the stairs we need to get that hatch open said Dave my heart was pounding Dave ripped the metal bar from one of the shelves and watched it between the iron bars he started pushing with all of his mind a small rip appeared in the tarp that had been duct tape over the opening I immediately began climbing at the thick plastic like a crazed rad Jeff grabbed another piece of metal and stuck it through the bars trying to get some leverage we heard the groan of bending word followed by loud snap the hatch and part of its frame swung open a few inches something was on top of the hatch keeping it down I pushed through the bars with my bare hands as Jeff and Dave doubled their efforts we heard something heavy and metallic topple over and crash to the ground the hatch door opened wider and I could just about poked my head through the opening a uniformed police officer lay several feet away something was sticking out of the side of his head it was a kitchen knife it was ghastly the worst thing about it is that the man's eyes were still open he was staring directly at me his right hand was still grasping a gun on the other side of the room the large bear of a man was clutched onto the wall trying to pull himself to his speed I could see that he had been shot on the leg in the shoulder but he looked determined I stretched out my arm and trying to get the officer's gun but I couldn't reach it I strained my arm to its limit feeling the iron bar is pressing against my flesh my fingertip touched the barrel the gun the dying policeman managed to push the gun closer to me and I got a firm grip on it quickly twisted my arm and I pointed the gun at the large man the bars made it difficult to aim but by the time I got my arm face in the right direction I view as a man was obstructed by the hatch door I've got a gun I whispered to Dave and Jonathan the cops almost dad he can't help us the big guy is over there bud I can't get a clear shot how many bullets Dave hissed I don't know I whispered maybe none Dave whispered we could get under him and try to shoot him through the floor we heard the large man groan and move closer to the hatch I tried to aim the gun in his direction and I waited with bated breath for him to appear we heard the clanking of the metal canisters and I watched to learn to container get pulled towards where I knew the man to be I squeezed the trigger and I fired a shot the SOB was deafening then the kickback from the small gun was much more than I expected my ears were ringing and there was a sharp pain in my rest I heard the sound of frantic movement from the other side of the hatch door a knowing self was like someone turning a bow and I Manas hissing sound filled the air the gas again Jeff and Dave both helped me as we desperately tried to dislodge the iron bars that were holding us prisoner we worked together pushing pulling and twisted in tow finally gave way just an edge Dave grabbed the contraption at the side and started taking hard Jeff and I put all of her weight on the bars and at long last the enormous contraption foul Dave took a step or two back towards us but collapsed as the gas overtook him I was starting to feel fade Jeff push the frame out of the way and climbed out of the hatch I tried to follow him but my head was spinning suddenly I saw the huge man spring out from his hiding players he had a wrench in his hand and clabber Jeff over the head with her I was having trouble thinking where did I put the gun I didn't see it there was no time I needed air I pulled myself out of the hatch and inhaled deeply twice my perceptions were dull because of the gas and so I did not expect the blow as the man slammed the wrench into my face I told it over and collapsed my body half in and half out of the hatch I felt the gun next to my hand I must have dropped it in the frenzy of trying to pry the bars loose I grabbed it and I swung my arm upwards shooting wildly into the dark and then I lost consciousness on I found myself falling down down down into nothingness when I awoke I was being loaded into an ambulance I grabbed the armor the paramedic who was lifting me in my friends I mumbled what happened to my friends the paramedic gave me a sad look and shook her head they finished loading me an ax and they slammed the doors I closed my eyes too weird to think and drifted back in unconsciousness one year later there is a memorial service at my school I showed up with my girlfriend I was wearing my best suit and in my hand there was a piece of paper with the speech on it I wanted the podium and I cleared my throat I said a few words about how I had met Dave and what a great guy he was I told them all how he'd had charged into a room for potentially deadly gas help Jeff and me xscape from a madman and went on to mention officers Stanley Bao who died that night leaving behind him a wife and two children my voice sounded funny through the speakers the damage to my face was extensive I've had two surgeries and there's one more scheduled for the fall I look okay but it affected the way I talked when I was done speaking I walked over to Dave's family and hugged his mother she didn't want to let me go Dave's father patted me on the shoulder as he choked back a sob and I walked back to my seed after the service Jeff was waiting on the front stabs the Blooey took to the head had knocked out the vision in his left eye he wore dark sunglasses to hide his water and I and we didn't have much to say to each other I just hugged him and I patted him on the back on the news the report has talked about the 37 bodies in canvas sacks that have been accumulating since 1957 they showed the artist's rendering of the killer based on my description he is still at large and his identity is still unknown the police told us the concession stand had been rigged with motion sensors and when sent off with lower the iron bars to capture curious trespassers and a dungeon of death they said the killer had rigged a silent alarm that would send a signal to his phone when someone under the trap I tried to remind myself that I was one of the lucky ones I was exhausted and went to laid out in my bedroom my girlfriend followed me a minute later and wrapped her arms around me she remembered to leave the light on nowadays I always sleep with the lights on [Music] [Music] [Music]
