-The Nightmare Chronicles-

-Ch.2: The Shadow Of Fear Vs. Gilbert's Humour-

Near Midtown…

While Dale was driving the car, all the lights went out and Joseph, Gilbert and Dale felt an intense pain and blacked out.

5 Minutes Later…

Dale woke up near a restaurant and spotted Joseph unconscious on top of a few plants, so Dale swiftly ran to Joseph and started shaking him. When he did not wake up, Dale snapped a twig in half and threw the twig at Joseph. OW! Exclaimed the now-awake Joseph who was poked in the eye by the twig Dale threw at him, sorry! Jeez, I'm only a human, NOT a professional twig –thrower! Joseph shushed Dale and said: I think I can hear Gilbert! YES YOU CAN, YOU STUPID! NOW GET OVER HERE AND SAVE ME! came Gilbert's booming voice Joseph sighed with relief and ran towards the elevator.

In The Elevator…

Makes you think, huh?, you know?, like; where's the government, the armed forces, heck, I'd even take the ghost busters by now, right? Asked Dale, "yeah" replied Joseph. All of a sudden, the elevator rumbled and came to a stop, as soon as Dale pried open the doors, Joseph quickly pushed him up and out of the elevator, however while Dale was pulling Joseph out, the elevator began to descend so, Dale forcefully pulled out his best friend out of the elevator, which fell and exploded with a loud BOOM, and the usual eerie silence took over the scene again.

Near (And On) The Rooftop, On The Stairs…

"Thanks, Man, I Could've died back there!" said Joseph thankfully, Dale just shrugged and ran up the stairs to save Gilbert. As they reached the rooftop Gilbert sighed with relief and said "thank the 'noobs' you guys got here!" Dale and Joseph froze, there was a hooded woman, wearing all black, grinning, a trickle of blood running down her face, one hand clutching a knife and the other, fist clenched.

What will happen to our heroes?
