Chapter 4: Obvious Places

"This is horrid, Eclair died and we don't even know what is happening. Is this going to be like those movies?" Peach complained as she walked down a long narrow hallway along with Kate.

"Don't worry Peach everything is going to be fine," Kate soothed and then began to chuckle, but soon her chuckling slowed.

"That's it I'm done with this, we have found nothing. Are we just walking in circles or something? Or is the murderer right behind us? What if i'm the murderer? That's it I'm breaking out of here!" Peach exclaimed. Peach bent down to the side and picked up an axe while simultaneously screaming.

"Where did you get that axe?" Kate began slowly. Peach hit the wall with the axe while screaming loudly until Kate stopped her, "Calm done Peach, don't hit rock bottom. Everyone is going to okay. First of all what your doing wouldn't have worked because your hitting toward the inside and we're on the inside. Also you work badly in bad situations." Kate then rubbed Peach's arms.

"I'm sorry," Peach mumbled.

"It's fine don't worry about-." Kate froze and stared at something behind Peach, "Peach look." Peach turned around and backed up against a wall along with Kate. A huge spider crawled out of the hole Peach had made and crawled along the wall for a bit.

"That's a big spider," Peach acknowledged. The spider was big in fact and it was black all over. It moved quick and swift before the girl's eyes. Along with it's physical features, it had a glorious red spot on it's back.

It drew a web and got even closer to the girls. The closer the spider got the them the more against the wall they moved. When they could move no more the spider got right in their faces and lingered a bit. The spider got off of its web and landed right on Peach's nose.

"Don't move," Kate warned while moving away from Peach and picked up the axe off the floor.

"If you're thinking about hitting that spider with that axe you've got another thing coming," Peach said with sweat pouring down her face.

"Look Peach, would you rather die or be slightly injured?" Kate questioned.

"In rational speech, you mean would I rather have a few extra minutes to leave, or be sliced in half?" Peach said while hyperventilated. Before Kate could respond the spider bit Peach on her nose.

"I-I-I think that is poisonous," Kate stuttered.

"I don't feel good," Peach whimpered while holding her head after the spider had left her nose.

"That's just your emotions speaking," Kate whispered. Peach held her stomach like she was about to throw up and then she fainted. Her heart had stopped beating in a matter of seconds.

"PEASLEY THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Pauline complained as she walked down a hallway.

"Let's just look for something," Peasley agreed. Pauline and Peasley walked down the hallway slowly until they heard the sound of glass breaking.

"What was that?" Pauline yelled while holding Peasley tightly.

"I-I-I don't know." Peasley replied "Is anybody there?"

"Yeah I'm in the kitchen want a sandwich?" Pauline said while looking at Peasley with a dumb look on her face and folding her arms.

"I'm going to go check it out!" Peasley informed while turning a corner and entering the kitchen. Pauline then followed close behind. Peasley walked into the pitch black kitchen with no lights whatsoever. Pauline scrambled her hands across the counter and grabbed a wooden paper holder for defense. Another piece of glass feel and the floor and Pauline dropped what she was holding and run out of the kitchen.

"Pauline?" Peasley called out into the dark. Peasley let out a loud scream and fell backwards.

"Donte?" Trina called while walking along. "Donte?" Trina called but when she turned a corner she bumped into someone else. It was Cameron and Daniella.

"Trina what happened?" Cameron asked quickly.

"I was looking for Donte when I met up with you guys," Trina explained.

"Trina!" came a voice from down the hall. The three turned around and saw Donte running after Trina, "I thought you were going to wait in the room?"

"I'm sorry," Trina apologized.

"Okay I think that we should find everyone else. Splinting up was a bad idea," Daniella informed.

"You think?" Trina snapped.

"We have to hurry, I heard some screams what if someone else is hurt?" Cameron questioned. Cameron and Daniella run down the hallway and Trina and Donte followed.

"And then some glass broke and I left the kitchen. When I came back Peasley wasn't there. What if he is dead?" Pauline cried into Mario's arms. The group was on the first floor and the people that was there was Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Drake,Pauline, Chandler, Marshall, Mr.L, Rosalina, and Alec.

"You guys!" Cameron called from the top of the steps and then the rest came down.

"What happened?" Marshall asked when the four came down the steps.

"We just heard some screams, nothing happened," Daniella informed.

"Brianna, Beck, and Casey didn't make it," Rosalina informed while stepping forward to hug Cameron. Pauline cried in Mario's arms even worse. Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps from the top of the stairs.

"I'm going to go check it out," Cameron remarked.

"Me too," Daisy said as she walked up the steps while looking back. The two got to the top of the steps and looked around. The foot steps got quite louder and Daisy hugged Cameron tightly. When it became even louder Daisy let go of Cameron and the two made a run for it down the stairs. But Cameron slid on something as his way down the stairs and tripped as he fell.

Cameron tumbled down the stars and landed on his back on the bottom of the steps.

"Oh Cameron," Rosalina exclaimed as she run up to him. Daisy run down the stairs quickly and knelt beside him.

"That wasn't an accident!" Daisy revealed through tears.

There was more footsteps and they were getting unbelievably loud. Cameron lied there not moving with a little blood on the ground. Marshall knelt down next to his best friend and give him a peck on the lips.

"Save it the killer is coming we have to go!" Drake replied while grabbing Marshall.

"What about Peach and Kate?" Luigi asked.

"Who cares?" Mr.L yelled while tugging on Drake's sleeve. The group ran away with Marshall behind. Marshall waved to Cameron and then he ran along with the rest of them.

Once the group was out of the room they stopped to take a breathing break. "How about we split up again?" Chandler suggested.

"Let's all agree that that is a bad idea," Mario replied.

"Look this is too much, I'm going to go take a shower alright?" Daisy announced while holding up her hands.

"Me too," Mr.L said while walking over next to Daisy.

"Stay!" Daisy hollered and then walked off.

"Luigi you should go with her," Marshall informed.

"I have to use the bathroom," Daniella replied.

"I'll go with," Rosalina and Trina volunteered simultaneously. Rosalina, Trina, Daniella, Luigi, and Daisy all walked out of the room and up the stairs.

The group split up when they were on the second floor. Luigi and Daisy walked into their bedroom and sat down on the bed.

"This is too much," Daisy exclaimed while laying down on the bed.

"Yeah, I don't want anything to happen to you!" Luigi stated as he lied down beside her. Luigi ran his fingers through Daisy hair and she just sat there. There was a scream from down the hallway that made both Luigi and Daisy sit up instantly. Outside of the room there was a shadow that made Daisy hold Luigi tightly. Luigi jumped up and run in the bathroom along with Daisy and locked it behind them.

"Someone is really out to kill us," Daisy said while crying.

"Daisy please stop crying," Luigi coaxed.

"I don't want to die," Daisy cried while hugging Luigi. Suddenly a black gloved fist punched inside the door. Daisy screamed and run with Luigi inside the independent shower that closed with a clear door.

Luigi stood in front of Daisy to protect her but things soon got worse when the bathroom door flung open. Daisy started to scream loudly but Luigi covered up her mouth quickly. Suddenly Daniella was pushed against the glass and slid down slowly. Her eyes were barely open and she was covered in blood.

"Help me please," Daniella said but in a whispered. Daisy moved past Luigi and touched her bloody hand through the glass but as soon as she placed her hand on it the glass cracked causing Luigi to pull her back.
