First of all I would like to apologise for the long delay in my update. I have been crazy busy with work and have had no time to even think about the plot let alone write it, but I am back now so please enjoy.

Drew had lost the blonde one but it didn't matter he would find her eventually, like he had the rest of them. He was not sure what had finally made him kill the first witch, he just knew that if he didn't his head was going to explode from the clamouring of the voices, killing her had silenced them and he had finally been able to see his purpose clearly. Dew turned his eyes around the sitting room, he saw that it was empty without the use of any light. His senses had compensated for the lack of light there was and now he seemed to get a sense though his body whenever one of them was close. Moving off at a slow walk drew headed for the kitchen, but something was telling him that they were no longer in the castle, that they had gone outside. Smiling slightly Drew knew exactly where they were headed, turning on his heal heading away from the kitchen he walked to the front doors and pulled them open to step out into the still night.

Beth breath out a sigh of relief as Drew retreated back towards the main entrance, she had been crouched behind the kitchen counter her whole body shaking a frying pan clutched in her hands was now slipping from her grasp as her palms had become slippery with sweat. Beth almost panted for breath as she slowly stood up so that she could peer over the top of the counter, she watched as Drew stepped out side and wondered for a second why he was leaving. It was one of two possibilities either he thought he had killed them all and was leaving for the town, or and this was much more likely in Beth's opinion, he was hunting for Mickie and Randy, they were probably outside trying to get to the mini bus, after all that was where she had been headed when she heard Drew coming and had hid in the kitchen.

Beth did not like the thought of either Mickie and Randy getting caught by Drew or them escaping in the mini bus without her, then she would have no way out, not waiting too long but just enough time for Drew to move away from the entrance Beth slowly began to follow him.

Mickie was holding on to Randy's hand pretty tightly. He did not seem to mind in fact he was squeezing back just as hard at every little noise. They knew where Drew had parked the mini bus. Making their way all the way around the court yard they kept to the shadow of the castle walls, it would have been much quicker just to run across the open space but they would have been easy to spot there was no cover out there, the only thing to hide behind was that god awful chimney that was sticking out of the ground.

Finally they came up to the garage, Randy pulled on the handle and it gave a loud rumble as it began to open. Randy winced at the noise, he knew anyone out side would have heard that, he almost wished the storm would come back so that it covered up any noise they had been making. Randy gave up trying to edge the door open it was making plenty of noise so he decided to do it all in one go and get it over with. Mickie tightened her grip on his upper arm as the garage door gave a final rumble and squeak but was now all the way open.

Mickie peered into the darkness and had to let her eyes a just to the gloom before she could see the bus. "Ok what now?" Mickie asked as they stepped inside, unsure as to where Drew had left the keys they had been planning on trying to hot wire it, although neither of them had ever done that before.

"I guess we try and look for the keys, he may have left them on a hook in here or something." Randy said letting go of Mickie's hand so they could search opposite ends of the garage.

Mickie did not like being in this dark enclosed space, it reminded her of when she had been behind that shower curtain. Shivering slightly at the memory Mickie looked in a jam jar that seemed to have metal objects in. tipping the jar over some nails and screws fell out and she was shocked by the noise they made as they hit the floor. Tinkling and pinging their way across the floor.

Randy had gasped slightly at the sudden noise and had turned his head to see what had happened. He watched as Mickie just looked at the nails and screws fall all around her, it was like she had just frozen in place and had no intention of stopping the cascade of nails. Walking over to her he placed his hand softly on her shoulder and allowed his hand to take hold of the jar and place it back up right on the shelf. Mickie turned her eyes to his and Randy was scared by the look he saw there, it was though she was no longer in the room with him. Her gaze was far way and her arms were cols to the touch.

"Mickie, what's wrong?" Randy asked as he followed her gaze out of the room but he saw nothing.

"Mickie?" He tried slightly louder this time and gave her shoulders a small shake. This time Mickie blinked and shook her head slightly as though she was having some kind of internal battle just like they had seen from Drew not 24 hours ago. Randy bent down so that he has looking her right in the eyes.

"Mickie I can't loose you not now, come on Mickie your stronger than this fight it, whatever it is." Randy said not breaking eye contact with her and allowing his hands to caress her shoulders gently.

"Randy?" Mickie questioned as she clutched on to his elbows and breath in a long deep breath. Randy sighed and enveloped her in a hug.

"God I thought I had lost you." Randy said not letting go of Mickie and holding her so tight he was starting to cut off her circulation.

"Can't breath Randy." Mickie choked out as Randy quickly let go and smiled at her.

"What happened?" He questioned now just holding her hands as they stood next to the mini bus in the darkness and Mickie realised just how vulnerable they were in here.

"I am not sure but it was like the castle was calling to me, it wanted me to go to the chimney. I didn't want to go but it was very hard to resist, if you hadn't come and grabbed me I think I would be on my way there right now." Mickie said moving towards the garage door not liking the dark spaces in here any more, they seemed even more dangerous for some reason now.

"Ok now we really need to get out of here, there are no keys in here, and we can't hot wire it the doors are locked and I think smashing a window might give Drew a clue as to where we are." Randy said moving them back outside and in to the shadow of the castle again.

"Where do you think they are, I mean they could be anywhere in the castle." Mickie said as they paused both not happy about going back inside the castle.

"He could even have them on him." Randy added and Mickie had not even considered that, but it was a definite possibility. Randy had his back to her slightly as he peered around a bend in the castle wall. Mickie watched him she couldn't believe their night had come to this. She was living in a eighties horror story, if she was watching this she would be screaming at them to just runaway, get the hell out of dodge, but there was also the un answered questions about Beth and John they did not know if they were dead or not. They had not heard any screams from them in fact Mickie had sword she had heard Beth calling to her, but she was not so sure about that now, not after what had happened in the garage. Something was telling her though that they were still alive and if going back inside meant they could try and find them then she was wiling to do it. Following Randy they back peddled their path from earlier, Mickie kept turning her head and seeing nothing, it was strange that they had not seen or heard Drew for quite sometime now and it was making Mickie as nervous as if she had been seeing him all the time.

Randy was creeping up to the doorway he could feel Mickie's grip on his hand tighten as he pushed against the doors. They swung inwards with ease and made little noise as both wrestlers stepped back inside the hallway and looked up the dark stairway. Neither of them had any intention of going back up there, this place was like a maze and they were likely to get lost up there again and that was the last thing they wanted to happen. Randy pulled Mickie towards the kitchen thinking there was probably a place somewhere in one of these rooms for hanging keys.

Mickie followed him she was keeping her eyes open for Drew and for the keys, wondering past the study Mickie suddenly felt herself pull from Randy's grip and stand in the doorway to the study.

"Mickie?" Randy said in a hushed voice as he came to stand next to her.

"This is odd I am drawn here the castle wants me here Randy." Mickie said looking at him an unsure look in her eyes.

"Well it can't have you." Randy said as he took hold of her hand and dragged her into the kitchen.

Drew had been watching for some time, he was quite willing to bide hi time, he knew that going after these two was going to be dangerous. The voices were telling him so too and this time he had reason to believe them. The others had been easy either they were too scared to fight back or luck had been on his side. John had almost gotten him with that axe just a good bit of fortune when the witch had grabbed the sward and he had managed to get in first. These two were being very carful, they had not taken their eyes off the job of searching for him, it would make the element of surprise difficult, and if they saw him coming with two of them they would have the upper hand, he would have to separate them. Drew allowed a smile to creep on to his face, he knew what he must do and creeping out from his hiding place he made his way though the darkened house and followed his two victims in to his kitchen.

Beth had been hiding in the shadow of the chimney for a while now she had heard someone in the garage and although it could have been Randy and Mickie it could have equally been Drew, not getting enough courage up to look Beth had slid down the wall and leaned her back against it. She had not realised she had drifted off to sleep until the shaking of her body woke her up and she shivered again at being outside in her night dress. Picking herself up off the floor Beth could here no one in the garage any more and she took her chance and looked around the corner.

The door was indeed open and she made a run for it, clinging on to wall as she ran straight into it Beth took in desperate gasps of air, not that the short run had winded her but the sheer exhilaration of it had literally taken her breath away.

Looking into the garage she saw no one, but she did spot small metal objects littering the floor. Bending over she picked up one of the nails and looked at it as though she had never before seen one in her life.

Looking from the nail to the car Beth suddenly got and idea. Walking over to the car Beth placed the nail in to the lock, wiggling it about she heard the latched fall open. Smiling to herself and the remembrance at her own miss guided youth Beth opened the door and sat in the drivers' seat. Looking around the bus for a spear key Beth finally found it in the glove compartment on the passengers' side. Beth tucked the key into her bra and climbed out. She knew that Mickie and Randy were still alive she didn't know why she knew that but she did and she was not going to drive out of there without at least trying to find them.

Mickie walked in to the kitchen she watched as Randy moved around the counter and looked down at the frying pan witch lay on the floor. Bending down to pick it up he stood up right and placed it on the counter.

"That's odd." He said as Mickie turned her head to him and gave him a curt nod, something was telling her that they need to get out of there now.

"Randy I think we should go." Mickie said as she stepped out in to the corridor slightly and peered down in to the darkness but saw nothing.

"Ok let me just check the back wall it looks like there is a rack for hanging stuff over there." Randy said as Mickie came back in to the doorway. Just as Randy was moving off into the shadows the front doors opened and banged closed.

Mickie snapped her head around, Drew was coming she was certain of it.

"Randy he is coming." Mickie said as she moved off again into the hallway and disappeared from Randy's field of vision.

"Randy looked up and when he couldn't see Mickie anywhere he panicked.

"Mickie!" He called out softly so that if she was close only she would here him. There was no reply steeping back from behind the counter Randy made his way to the door and did not see the shadow fall across his path before it was too late.

Ok hope you enjoyed that and it was worth the wait, who is behind door number one?

Please as always read and review and I will try and get another chapter up before the weekend.
