"So, who's going up the stairs first?"
In the end the four girls ended up doing rock, paper, scissors. Unfortunately, Jessica ended up losing and had to go first. Grudge clicked as it travel easily up the wall while the others followed behind her. Jason stood at the bottom, watching amused as they slowly creaked up the stairs.
"Oh come on big guy, it's not like your going to fall through the floor." At least I hope not. Ashley thought from the end of the line, he tilted his head before trudging up the stairs.
No sooner then Jess and Tashi were on the top floor when she heard fast footsteps, they were running back to the stairway.
"OUT OF THE WAY!" Shrieked Tashi as she thundered down the hall, not quite able to comprehend her words that fast Carrie stopped and stood for two point thirty-nine seconds to long and Tashi bowled her over. Yelping she fell down the stairs into Hannibal, who collided into Freddy, who though his attempts to stop himself with his claws, ran into Ashley who face planted into Jason's brickwall chest. Jason stumbled slightly but held his ground as he held all of the up. Halfway down again, they sighed in relief as they didn't tumble the whole way down.
"Thank you." Came a muffled voice.
"Ya, but what in hell was that for?" Freddy looked over at Tashi who was at the top of the pile but stuck between Carrie and Hannibal.
"I.... I saw a rat." Tashi blushed deeply and the whole dog pile went silent.
"I see, but perhaps we should get off the smaller girl, she seems to be getting crushed." Jason blinked before stepping back to look at Ashley, him being semi-stupid forgot he was the one holding up the pile.
"CRAP!" Freddy screeched as they all continued down the stairs, this time taking Jason with them. A pile of bodies heaped against the wall facing the stairs, Jason on the bottom groaned as he tried to shake them off.
"Wow, that's hilarious!" Jessica's laughter came from down the top of the stairs. They looked up to see her standing there, completely unharmed and without a hair out of place. "By the way, Tashi? That was a rubber mouse."
"Oh." Tashi blushed hard, and Freddy groaned as he tried to wiggle out from between Ashley and Jason.
"Dammit! Move it you-"
"Dishes."
"Not smart individual." Freddy finished, the group let out a sigh. Old habits would die hard, but he could have said it worse.
"Alright. I have an idea. Who's on the top?" Tashi asked looking up.
"ME!"
"Okay Carrie, who are you stuck against?"
"No-body."
"Wait, what?" twisting her head around Tashi saw Carrie sitting cris-cross on the top of the pile.
"DAMMIT! GET OFF!" Freddy roared, Jason groaned as he felt a bone in his back pop.
"NO! I like it up here."
"Well, my dear. It is slightly uncomfortable, do you mind getting off?"
"Aw." Carrie pouted. "But I'm tall."
"And I'm getting grumpy!" Freddy growled.
"We'll make a pile of non-human things so you can be tall again, deal?" Hannibal said ignoring Freddy's snide remark.
"And we might have some kind of cheese somewhere."
"Deal!" Carrie squealed as she jumped off.
Soon they were untangled again, a few bruises and scrapes was all the damage that happened. Sighing they went back up the stairs, Carrie third last watching for any other kind of warning to flee. Jason walked closer, watching the walls for the creepy girl that disappeared.
"Come to think of it, we haven't head your names." Hannibal tilted his head in curiosity.
"Well we already know your girl's name. Carrie, the obsessive crazy-for-cheese weirdo." Freddy grumbled.
"What about cheese?" Jessica turned and frowned.
"You're right, that's Carrie. I'm Tashi (I'm kind of the leader, or the only one that puts a plan together), that's Jessica (she jinxes everything so don't let her say anything good trust me.), and she's Ashley (She's strong to the point where its slightly scary, don't get her angry. She threw the gym teacher when he hit her with a dodge ball)."
"Right, well. I'm Freddy Kruger."
"Hannibal."
"That's the Grudge." Jessica said pointing at the ceiling over Ashley's head.
"And he's Jason." Freddy snorted loudly as he jerked a thumb at the giant who did the famous head tilt.
"Jason huh? He's quite large, but why does he wear that mask?" Hannibal asked as he tilted his head back.
"Because he's ugly underneath."
"At least he hides it better." Hannibal sniffed.
"Alright! ENOUGH!" Tashi fumed, all went silent again.
"It looks like its clear." Jessica called the top of the stairs.
"That's good, maybe we'll make it up the stairs this time."
"Yes ma'am."
Jason mumbled before nudging Ashley gently with his shoulder. Turning she frowned to see him holding his hand to about his lower chest.
"I'm not that short." She snapped, he quickly shook his head and jerked his hand down to his lower chest again. "What? I don't get it."
Tashi and the whole line stopped and turned to see what was going on, seeing this they frowned.
"What's he want?" Freddy asked curiously, Ashley shook her head.
"I don't know, but I think he's calling me short."
Jason shook his head harder before scratching his head in an attempt to try and talk to her. Jaw flexed and he moved his mouth as he tried to talk.
"C..cur." He managed out, it sounded more like he was choking. Confused more Ashley thought hard. Seeing it Jason tried again.
"Cur... Cur... Cur hee." He struggled to talk through his rotten vocal cords.
"Carrie?" Jason nodded, finally relieved. "What about her?"
"Hey, wait a second? Where is that Cheese psycho? " Freddy looked down the line and couldn't spot her.
"Up here!" Everybody looked up to see Carrie at the top of the stairs. Waving hard.
"How'd she get up there?" Freddy demanded, trying to find a logical way that it could of happened.
"Maybe she flew?" Hannibal snickered, Freddy glared.
"Maybe, either that or a certain creepy girl pulled her up." Jason shook his head.
"Then how did she do it?" Tashi asked confused.
"Maybe it's because she defies logic, or gravity. One or the other." Ashley yawned loudly.
"That's our Carrie." Jessica said as she finally was able to hear them, the Grudge stood silently beside her as Carrie hummed to herself.
"That's me!"
"Yes Carrie, that's you. By the way, you should be really happy. Jason's first word was trying to say your name." Giggling Tashi went up, Freddy close behind.
"Yay!" Carrie cheered.
"So, now that we all went crazy. Which room do we check out first?" Jess turned to look down the hall. Three doors pointed at the hall way, one at the very end then two on either side of it.
"Why not that one?" Tashi said pointing behind them, seeing a door farthest away from the others. Nodding they tramped over, this time Jason in lead.
"On the count of three...one... two..." Jason never heard three, or two at that. He just opened it without hesitation and walked inside, examining the room he came back into the hall and nodded showing that it was all safe.
"Good job there big guy, you must have nards of steel." Hannibal said airily as he walked into the room and looked around.
"He does, trust me." Freddy mumbled as he winced at the memory of the failed cheap shot. Who would've thought that would've happened?
Apparently choosing this room as his own Jason looked out the window and wrote 'Jason' on its dirty glass. Watching this they group let out a sigh, before frowning when he kept writing.
'AshelE' was written underneath.
"You spelt it wrong dumb ass." Freddy said dully, walking over he brushed it off and wrote her name underneath.
"There, that's how you spell it." he declared.
"Why are you two writing my name?" Just coming in Ashley frowned at the dirty window.
"Cuz this is your room too I'm presuming." Hannibal said from the corner, amusement clear in his voice.
"Haha! Hey wait, that's just weird." Jess narrowed her eyes. "She can't sleep with a zombie man! That's weird and wrong and is NOT going to happen." with that Jess grabbed Ashley's arm and dragged her away.
Jason growled and grabbed Ashley, dragging her and Jess towards him. As soon as the hand was in range Jess bit into the gloved hand. Blinking, Jason stood in silence before growling deeply at her.
"Don't I have a choice?" Ashley asked quietly.
"NO!" Jess yelled, Jason barked the same tone so she had a feeling it was a 'No' too.
"She's mine!" Jessica roared as she pulled on Ashley's arm. Jason snarled and jerked them closer.
"I see potential danger for the blonde, unfortunately I think that both Jason and Jessica are very territorial." Hannibal sighed as he stood in the corner dully.
"I'm NOT A TUG-OF-WAR ROPE DAMMIT! LET ME GO!" Ashley howled after a couple more tugs.
"Well, we have a slight issue. Jason wants Ashley to stay with him, but Jess refuses to let him sleep there." Carrie said putting a finger to the side of her lips.
"Jason, its not politically correct for a lady to sleep in the same room as a man, even if its a zombie man, it's till not right." Tashi tried to reason, Freddy cackled when Jason's glared at her and puffed himself out.
"We could share a room?" Hearing Ashley's hopeful voice Jessica and Jason stopped tugging and stared at her. "That way it's not so bad, and there'll be three females instead of one."
"Three?" Jessica frowned deeply before turning around.
"Yes, as much as I hate the idea. The Grudge will probably want to stay close to you too, so I added her in my count." Ashley said eyeing the creepy girl with slight fear.
"Well ya, but he's a guy."
"He may be male, but I refuse to become yet another tug-of-war rope." Annoyed, Ashley scowled.
"He could sleep on the floor."
"He'd fit right in, smelling bad and all." Freddy purred. He was met with a room full of glares.
"He's cooking our first meal, it's decided." Tashi exclaimed clapping her hands.
"I'm glowing..." Everybody turned to the now strangely glowing Carrie, she looked like a lightbulb was glowing dimly inside her.
"Carrie, that's it. You defy logic, gravity, and Einstein."
"Yeah! I defy an old guy!" Hearing her cheer everybody sweat-dropped
"Yes, you do." Tashi said sighing.
"Alright, TO THE NEXT ROOM!"
"Jason leads."
"Yep."
With that Jason picked up Carrie and used her as a light as he trudged into the dull light, and Hannibal had to admit. That was the funniest thing he'd seen in a while.
