It had been a long day at work, and as Abigail Matthews entered her apartment building, she wanted nothing else than to go straight home and curl up with a good book.
Pressing the elevator button, she sighed in relief as there was no one around. Being in elevators with other people was always uncomfortable, and if it happened to be an acquaintance, the small talk was unbearable. As the doors opened, she entered, pressing the twelfth floor.
The old elevator began to slowly move upwards. She pulled out her phone meanwhile, and then suddenly - the elevator stopped. The lights went out immediately after, and the only thing that kept her from being in absolute darkness was her phone's flashlight.
Great. This day just kept getting better and better.
She let out an annoyed groan, pressed the emergency button, and wondered how long it'd take for the repairmen to show up. Should she call someone? She'd never really had this happen to her before, which was surprising considering how old this elevator was.
That's when she felt something on her waist.
With a gasp, she turned around with her phone in her hand, aiming towards where she thought a person was. But nobody was there. Had she imagined it? Brows furrowed, she decided it must have been her imagination.
A few seconds later, she felt the same sensation of someone touching her again. But as before, she saw absolutely nothing there. "What the fuck...?" she whispered to herself, now considerably freaked out. She pressed the button a few more times, to no avail. What kind of elevator service was this?
Maybe she should try calling someone. Tapping at her phone, she was just about to call a friend when it happened again.
The unmistakable feeling of hands on her waist. More daring than before, they moved from her side to her front, and before she knew what was happening, she felt the body of a man pressed against her back. Her eyes drifted below to her body and caught sight of a pair of ghostly pale hands.
Shocked, she let go of the phone, and it fell with the flashlight to the floor. Everything turned pitch black. Had it been a normal man who'd tried to fondle her, she would have slapped him across the face, but in this moment, she was truly terrified of the almost invisible form, and stayed rooted to the spot.
The hands were gentle, loving, even. She could feel their warmth even through her clothes as they slowly caressed her from her stomach up to her chest. She felt hauntingly soft lips on her neck, pressing kisses into her skin. Whoever - or whatever - this was, it was surprisingly caring, and for a few seconds, she lost herself in the sensual touch, letting out a soft moan.
Wait. God, what was she doing? She should have pushed it away, told it to fuck off or something, especially now that she knew it didn't mean her any harm.
