4. Chapter 4

Ami and Minako looked at the dark kitchen. Blood stained the wall and the floor of this room. On the tile bloody floor was a butcher knife. Minako held onto Ami's arm, feeling nauseated. It had sparked a few memories; crime scenes that a young girl should never see.

"Minako?" Ami asks, "Are you okay?"

"It just reminds me of my days fighting criminals." She replies, "It's making me feel sick."

"Do you need to sit down for a minute?"

"No, we need to find the others and get out of here as soon as possible."

The two girls walked towards the living room. Someone was sleeping on the couch. They both hide behind the dividing wall.

"This is a trap." Ami whispers.

"We can't make it to the door without walking whoever he is up." Answers Minako.

"What choice do we have though?" Ami asks.

Minako began thinking about it. Her thoughts were interrupted at one look on the wall. It was a message written in blood.

"Ami, look!" Minako points to the wall.

"These souls will never leave, neither will you sailor guardians." Ami began reading, "All we want is to torment the leader and make sure they never leave here alive."

"Leader?" Minako inhales, "Usagi!"

They stood up. The murderer who was asleep was standing in front of them, holding an axe in his hand.

"Hehe . . . " Minako began.

"Venus!" Ami screams.

The axe murderer swung at them. Minako pushed Ami as the head towards the kitchen. The murderer right behind them.

"What do we do?" Minako asks, "He has us back where we came."

"We have to fight him." Ami replies.

"Ami, I have a plan."

"I'm know what your plan is." She smiles, "Bubble Spray!"

The murderer stopped where he was, the fog had covered the two guardians.

"It's only a matter of time," He said, "your leader is heading straight for a trap."

Minako placed her fingers together.

"She'll get what's coming for her." The murderer growls.

"Venus Crescent Beam!"

A bright light made the fog disappear. Minako and Ami ran to each other, looking at the murderer on the ground.

"Do you think it's safe to pass?" Asks Minako.

Ami glances up, looking at the living room as the door opens.

"Yeah, we have to hurry though." Ami replies.

The ran towards the door and outside in a dark hallway. A beep came from Ami's supercomputer. She took it out looking at the screen.

"The others are close." She announces.

"Let's hurry." Minako says.
