Chapter 12
Inside the mansion, on the second floor is a room which had been inaccessible for so long, that even the ghosts which haunted the place, had forgotten about it. But that wasn't quite true. Because on the roof of the mansion, is a soot covered chimney that leads to this not-so-inaccessible forgotten room. Paige stood looking down, from the top of the chimney, pondering on what to do. Should she jump down this ominous-looking chimney, or perhaps she would have better luck climbing down a vine that had grown up the mansion. On one hand, the chimney could lead to a room on the basement level, where the ghosts loved to scare innocent little girls who were afraid of the dark. Not that she was afraid of the dark. Okay, so she was just a little afraid. But on the other hand, what would she do if Spooky, the ghost dog were to see her? More importantly, what would he do if he saw her? Going with the safer option, she closed her eyes, and leaped down the chimney, feet first. She hit the floor; knocking most of the wind out of her.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
Not knowing exactly what to say she began to stutter, "I-I"
"No one is supposed to be in here!" Paige looked up and saw an old wrinkly woman glaring at her. She was wearing a black dress with a white apron, a duster in hand that had razor sharp feathers, pointing it at Paige; slowly walking towards her.
"I'm sorry! I did-I-I-I didn't know!" Paige cried, covering her face.
The ghost looked at Paige and somehow had sympathy, she lowered the duster.
The other three continued on their search for Peter; Ash was prepared to kill him the moment he saw him. Ella attempted to calm him down, but Ash didn't care or listen. Everette kind of stood on the sidelines-he didn't want to interfere.
"Ewww...what's that smell?" Ella asked. She then stepped in something sticky which completely soaked her whole shoe. Everette felt it on his feet too as well as Ash. They looked down; it was blood that was coming from under the door next to them. Ella reached for the doorknob.
"Yes Ella, open the door that has blood coming from it!" said Everette sarcastically. She gave him a glare and opened it anyways. There Peter was, dead; covered and surrounded by blood. Ella covered her mouth in shock and shook her head in disbelief.
"Oh no..." Ash said bluntly, "he's dead."
"DAMMIT! he was supposed to be the one helping us!" Ella exclaimed.
"Well, not much we can do now. The killer found him first." Everette said shrugging his shoulders.
"You two are unbelievable! Don't you have any sympathy that he's dead!?"
"Nope." Ash said in a non-caring voice.
"Ella, three people have already died. I'm kind of done with 'OH NO! they're dead!'" Everette said in a slightly more sympathetic tone.
"What if it was me who died? Would you just say 'Oh no she's dead, that's too bad'?" Ella asked getting slightly annoyed.
"No, we'd have a huge party to celebrate." Everette said.
With that Ella pushed him down making him fall back into the blood; his eyes widened in horror.
"ASSHOLE!" Ella shrieked, she then turned to Ash, "You're no better" and she kicked him in the shin.
"Mother of Ella! WHY WOULD YOU CREATE SUCH A THING?!" Ash shouted in pain.
"HEY! don't talk about my mother that way! even though I'm not too sure who she is...but DON'T! or you'll be like Everette." She said defensively pointing to Everette who had a weird/disgusted expression on his face.
"Are any of us sure who our mothers were?" Ash asked.
"Probably not." Everette said wiping the blood off of him.
(back with Paige)
"Who are you?" asked the ghost.
"My name is Paige" she replied shyly.
"Paige, how did you find out about this room?" she asked.
"My brother told me..."
"Who's your brother?"
"Peter."
"Aahh yes, Peter, I remember him."
"You do?"
"Yes, he came here once when he was running from something; can't remember what it was"
There was a few seconds of silence until Paige worked up the courage to ask if she would let her stay in the room for the night.
"Didn't you hear what I told you earlier? No one is supposed to be in this room!"
"Please!" Paige begged,"Please just tonight?"
The Maid was hesitant but in the end agreed to let her stay, but it was to only be for that one night and after that she was to never come back.
(with the Killer)
"What if it was me who died? Would you just say 'Oh no she's dead, that's too bad'?"
The Killer laughed as he watched the three on the cameras.
"Well little girl, why don't we find out?"
He then called for his minions.
"Master has called us! What does master need?" squeaky voices asked.
The killer pointed to four of them, "You" he said, "Bring me my sharpest chainsaw." He pointed to another four, "and you, bring me the black haired boy."
"Yes master! we will go master! we will please master!" the voices squeaked as they scurried to do their tasks.
