Hellooooooo, people, I know I have not updated this in forever, and I'm sorry. I've been having very large laptop difficulties, which kind of limit my ability to update as frequently as I would like. Reviews have taken a surprising jump, so thank you! I had no idea that many people thought this was any good! : ) and I am going to shut up and actually let you read this now.

"Where's Hannah?" asked Chris, standing up. "She said she was only going to check if that window was open or whatever."

Chad shrugged. "Probably still there," he replied.

"I'm going to go check it out," said Chris.

"Don't!" said Gabriella, also standing up, swaying on her injured ankle.

"Why not? She's my girlfriend, if the killer found her I can't just sit here!" snapped Chris.

"But what if he's still there?" whispered Gabriella.

"Then I'll be ready to defend myself," Chris replied evenly. "Sit down. You'll just hurt yourself." He turned and walked into the room where Hannah had disappeared.

"Hannah?" he called softly, peering around the room. He saw no sign of her. He walked slowly over to the window and looked out. He saw, many stories below him, the miniscule body of his girlfriend, broken against the cars she had fallen on.

Chris stepped back from the window and turned to see the killer standing there. He was holding up a knife and looked ready to kill.

Before he had a chance to move it down, to stab, Chris punched him in the face. The killer collapsed, and Chris took the opportunity to run back into the room where the others were waiting.

"He's here! Get out!" yelled Chris. Cad sprung up and grabbed Gabriella's hand, who stood uncertainly due to her ankle. Chad started running after Chris, dragging Gabriella behind him.

"You can't run," a voice yelled after them. "I will find you all."

"Come on!" Chad panted out, looking back to Gabriella. She had fallen far behind. Chad turned back to her and quickly helped her clamber up onto his back. He started running again, more slowly now because of the fact that Gabriella was on his back.

"Hurry up, guys!" Chris yelled from the door to the stairwell. Chad and Gabriella quickly caught up to him, and Chris opened the door and pushed the others through. He took one last glance around for the killer, and saw nothing. He slid through the door and down the stairs to his friends.



"Guys! Wait!" he yelled down, his cry echoing eerily around the stairs. Chad and Gabriella stopped, a few flights down. Chad put Gabriella back on the floor, and she leaned against the wall.

"We've got to get to the lobby," said Chris, panting from running so much.

"Where's Hannah?" asked Gabriella.

Chris took a deep breath. "She… ended up getting pushed out that window. The killer was there." He paused. "She didn't make it."

"I'm sorry," said Gabriella.

Chris smiled cheerlessly. "Let's get down to the main floor, quick, before he shows up again." he said. "I'll take you, Gabriella." He quickly picked up Gabriella and put her on his back. The small group started down again, Chris and Chad switching who was carrying Gabriella every few floors.

Finally, after 20 minutes of working their way down the stairs, they reached the main entrance. "I wonder what we'll find there," said Gabriella quietly. "Maybe the others made it down."

Chad pushed the door open. "One way to find out, right?" he said, and led them into the main lobby.

It was a sight of utter normalcy, something that didn't seem real after all that had happened this night. Chris carefully put Gabriella down on one of the couches, looking around suspiciously.

"Is anyone here?" he called.

"Who is it?" called out another voice.

"Selena?" asked Chris. "Where are the others?" he added as Selena came running into view.

Selena took a deep breath. "No idea," she replied. "We were getting chased and then me and Ryan got separated from the others. We were headed down here when the killer came up, and got Ryan." She paused, and drew a shaky breath. "I came here, and I've been hiding for about 10 minutes, till you showed up."

"Are the others okay? Are they together?" asked Chris, leading her over to where Gabriella and Chad were sitting.

"I think so," said Selena as they reached their friends. Chad opened his mouth to say something, but Selena cut him off.

"Have you seen the killer?" she asked urgently. "Did you see him?"

Chad nodded, looking confused. "He was chasing us, but he stopped about halfway down from where we were. I don't think he's here."



Selena shook her head, looking around. "Someone's here, someone else." she said. "I heard something."

The group looked around slowly to see a dark shape emerging from the stairwell. It was soon close enough for them to see who it was.

"You!" screamed Selena.

And I feel like stopping now. So, yeah, just please review, and I promise I will be as quick as I can in updating this. But right now, I'm really tired, and I feel like stopping. I also hate the computer I'm working on, and I really want to get off. Okay, byeeeeeeeeeeeee
