"COME ON ELEVATOR! HURRY UP!" Vector yelled as he kept jabbing the down button.
"Oh god, what if Blaze is dead? That might explain why the elevator is taking so long to come up!" Amy shrieked.
"Don't you dare say that! I know there's still a chance we can get to her. I'd rather we try to look for her and see if she's alive or not than just stay here and give up." Tikal said.
"Wait a second, there has to be stairs here, right? We can get to the first floor by using them! COME ON!" Rouge pointed out to everyone and they all followed her.
"Sonic, you have the script, try to find out who dies next!" Bean ordered.
"I'm trying to but it's hard running and reading at the same time ya know!" Sonic replied.
"WAIT ROUGE DON'T RUN SO FAST!" Tails called out, noticing that Rouge was very far ahead of them and she turned a corner, getting out of sight.
Rouge didn't notice how far she was ahead of the others, though, and kept continuing on. She reached a door that had the stairs sign next to them, slammed open the door, and carefully but quickly ran down the stairs.
The others turned the same corner that Rouge did and finally reached the stairs door.
"Here it is!" Tikal said in relief and they all went in...
...only to find out that the room they just entered in was a storage room.
"WH-WH-WH-WH-WHAT!? BUT...DIDN'T THAT SIGN JUST SAY THEY WERE STAIRS IN HERE!? HOW THE FUCK IS THIS POSSIBLE!" Vector screamed and clenched his fists.
"No...this...this can't be happening...how can this be? The stairs...they're suppose to be right here! THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO BE RIGHT HERE!" Tikal freaked out and started hyperventilating.
"Nooooooooooo! THIS ISN'T FAIR! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US!?" Amy cried and dropped to her knees.
"This makes no sense at all. How can this be a storage room? The sign for the stairs points IN HERE. How does this all work out exactly?" Bean questioned with his head starting to hurt.
"Sonic? We're not gonna get out of here...are we?" Tails said in complete hopelessness.
Sonic didn't know how to respond. He was angry, confused, sad, frustrated, and lost all at once. He had never dealt with something like this before. Everyone's lives were at stake right now and now, he's not even sure if he can save them all...or even himself.
"A-Aoi? What are you doing here!?" Sonia asked in fear.
"Why, I should be asking you that, don't you think? I'm just filling out some paperwork, as usual. Now then, since I gave my answer to you, I believe I deserve your answer to me." Aoi said, standing up.
"I-I-I-I don't know how I got here! I mean, I took the elevator to get the 3rd floor, but somehow I ended up here. Aoi, there's something terrible going on! All my friends are dying and Sally has turned into a complete psycho!" Sonia exclaimed.
"Aw, that's such a shame. Guess that means there will be no movie...well, maybe not..." Aoi said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sonia asked.
"You! You could be the main star of my movie! A movie all about Sonia the Hedgehog...I think it will be a success, don't you? All the boys will come crawling to it and all the girls will idolize you. You would like that wouldn't you?" Aoi asked while moving closer to Sonia.
"A movie...all about me? Only me?" Sonia asked again.
"Of course! Out of everyone, you have the biggest potential, Sonia. I knew it when I first saw you." Aoi brushed his hand across her shoulders, onto her neck, and up her cheek. Sonia suddenly pushed him away.
"No...NO NO NO! You are the one that caused all of this! Everyone thinks so! I swear to god, once the police find out about this your ass will be sent to prison for the rest of your life!" Sonia yelled.
"What on earth are you talking about, Sonia? Are you confusing me for someone else?" Aoi asked.
"Don't play dumb with me you asshole! YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KILLED MY FRIENDS AND CAUSED ALL OF US TO GO INSANE! WE HAVE BEEN HEARING AND SEEING A BUNCH OF CRAZY SHIT EVER SINCE WE FIRST MET YOU!" Sonia crazily screamed.
"But how am I exactly the cause for your guys' insanity? I mean, can you tell me how you think I could've done all this?" Aoi asked.
Sonia got stumped for a second. He was right. There was no legitimate proof that he caused all this chaos other than the fact it started when he first showed up.
"Well...umm...there's the fact that...umm...it all started happening when we first met you!" Sonia said, trying to sound convincing.
"Okay? It's called a coincidence. Do you have any other proof to back it up?"
"Umm...well...oh! There's the fact that Vector tried to kill you but he somehow ended up killing Shadow instead! How did you get away from that, huh!? I DEMAND AN ANSWER!" Sonia raised her voice.
"My goodness, Vector murdered Shadow!? How awful! Why did he do that for?"
"Don't try to change the subject! HOW DID YOU GET AWAY FROM VECTOR KILLING YOU!?" Sonia asked again.
Aoi sighed and stepped to her. "Sonia, I think you just need to relax and sit down for a while."
Sonia screamed and grabbed a nearby scissors. "GET AWAY! You step one more foot closer to me and I will fucking kill you, YOU HEAR ME!?"
Aoi sighed again. "I'm just trying to help out, Sonia. Please, you don't have to be afraid of me. I'm the good guy!"
"Yeah, right. You probably drugged Sally with something that made her into a fucking killer as well! I don't trust you!"
"Sonia, you're not making sense. Can you please put the scissors down?" Aoi got closer to her again which crossed the line for Sonia.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed and charged towards him. She jabbed the scissors down to him.
"Oh!" Aoi shrieked.
Sonia smiled in finally hurting him, but her smile quickly faded away when she realized that she actually didn't stab him.
She stabbed herself.
"Wh-what!? How...WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Sonia screamed and tried to pull the scissors out.
"I didn't do anything, Sonia. You did it yourself. You should've listened to me when I told you to put the scissors down..." Aoi shook his head.
Sonia took the scissors out of her body and screamed in more pain as blood was trickling out of the bound. She dropped to the ground, feeling weak.
Aoi kneeled down to her. "Here here, let me comfort you, Sonia. It's the least I can do for hurting yourself. My god, you're so beautiful..."
"Get...away...FROM ME!" Sonia said as she took deep breaths and was still in shock from the pain.
"Shhhhhh! Talking will just ruin the moment!" Aoi said and got on top of Sonia and licked her neck.
"Help! HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" Sonia screamed.
"You know, you're not making this very easy for me. Don't you want to feel sensual pleasure? I haven't felt it in years actually. Plus, we both look like we could use it so this would be a great opportunity, no?"
"Please Aoi...don't kill me!" Sonia started to cry again.
"Who said I was gonna kill you? You're not being very easy going about this. You don't want me to be rough, do you?"
"R-rough?" Sonia repeated.
"Yeah, like this!" Aoi then swiped his nails across Sonia's chest which left a bloody bruise. Sonia screamed again.
"STOP IT! PLEASE STOP IT!"
"You see what I mean when you don't play along? Things just get messy. Now, either stay still and relax or I'm gonna have to do that again and you wouldn't want that, would you?"
"Y-you're a sick bastard." Sonia whispered.
"Oh. Well...if that's the way you see it..." Aoi swiped his nails again across Sonia's throat, immediately causing blood the spill out. Sonia gurgled on her blood and cried out for another minute and eventually stopped breathing.
Rouge kept on running down the stairs, sweating like crazy. She decided to stop for a breather.
"I don't get it. How the hell can these stairs be so long to reach the bottom? I should've been at the first floor by now! It's been almost 10 minutes!" She said and wiped her forehead.
Rouge peeked over the railing and looked down below. The first floor didn't look far down from where she was.
"This makes no sense. I looked down there already. I should've BEEN down there by now! I feel like I'm at the exact same spot where I started. What the fuck is going on here!?" Rouge started getting incredibly frustrated.
She then noticed a door in front of her. It was the way out of the stairwell.
It also had a 3 next to it.
Rouge gasped. "Oh my god...no...that's...impossible! I'VE BEEN GOING IN FUCKING CIRCLES!"
She then sped down the stairs again, hoping to reach the first floor with quicker speed.
Unfortunately, she tripped over herself, rolled down the stairs and landed on the cold and hard floor.
"Okay, I have an idea! How about we just exit this room, close the door, and re-enter it again? That might bring us to the stairwell!" Bean suggested.
"Are you high or something? This isn't a fucking magic house you twit! It's not just gonna appear if we open it again!" Vector scowled.
"But Vector, how do you explain Rouge disappearing then? She obviously went SOMEWHERE if she hasn't come back!" Tails pointed out.
"Maybe one of these other doors leads to the stairwell and that sign is just misplaced?" Amy said and ran to the door nearest there.
"I REALLY doubt that." Vector said.
"Then why is the stairwell not here then, genius? Either the sign was misplaced or this is, somehow, all an illusion!" Bean said.
"It could be an illusion, I mean with all of the stuff we've experienced so far, it wouldn't be far-fetched if it were to happen..." Tikal said.
"How the hell could the room be an illusion though? Please explain that to me, I'd love to hear it!" Vector scowled again.
Sonic suddenly dropped the script, which caught everyone's attention.
"Sonic? Are you alright?" Tails asked, noticing Sonic had a shocked face on.
"My sister...she...she's the one to die next..." Sonic responded.
"Oh no!" Amy shrieked as she was almost about to enter another room.
"No, not Sonia!" Tikal cried.
Bean picked up the script and read the page.
The camera shows Satomi stranded in an empty office-like room. Satomi tries to open the door but it's shut tight.
Satomi Noda (Sonia): HELLOOOOOOOOOO! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!? I'M STUCK IN HERE! PLEASE HELP!
Satomi drops to the ground and starts crying for about a minute.
Camera cuts to the door which starts to unlock from the other side.
Cut back to Satomi who stops crying and gets back up in relief.
Satomi Noda: H-hello? You guys? Is that you? Oh, thank god you found me!
The door opens to reveal a tall, shady guy with dark clothing. Camera does not show his face.
Satomi Noda: Who...who are you?
The person walks slowly towards Satomi.
Satomi Noda: Wh-what do you want from me? Hello! ANSWER ME!
The person does not respond and keeps walking towards while Satomi keeps backing away.
Satomi Noda: Please, stop! I'm telling you, get the hell away from me!
Satomi reaches into the desk drawers and grabs out scissors.
Satomi Noda: You step one more foot closer to me and I will kill you! NOW TELL ME WHO YOU ARE!
The person does not listened and suddenly walks fast toward Satomi. Satomi screams and tried to stab him with the scissors, but he gets a hold of her arm and stabs her with the scissors instead.
Satomi screams in pain and drops to the ground.
Satomi: You...bastard!
Satomi takes the scissors out of her chest which makes her cry out in even more pain. She tried to stab the person with it, but he grabs the scissors and throws it away before she could do anything.
A sound of unzipping is unheard and the man's pants is shown to be dropped down along with his underwear.
Satomi: What...WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
The man gets on top of Satomi and smacks her so she stops struggling so much. He pulls down Satomi's shorts and panties.
Satomi: NO! STOP IT! SOMEBODY HELP ME!
The man this time punches Satomi which gives her a bloody nose and knocks her out a bit.
He then performs the act of rape to Satomi. Satomi makes more struggling noises but is too overpowered by the man to move a lot.
His thrusts get faster and harder which causes Satomi to yell out even more.
Satomi: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! PLEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE!
The man suddenly presses both his hands on her neck, blocking her airway to shut her up. Satomi tries to scream but it just comes out as muffled cries.
After another minute, Satomi finally stops breathing and the man was 'finished' with his act.
"Oh my god that's fucking disgusting!" Bean shrieked.
"What? What happened?" Vector asked.
Meanwhile, Amy opened the door and all she found was some meeting room of some sort.
"Damn, nothing in here!" she said as she walked in a bit further to see if someone was hiding behind the big table in front of her.
They all suddenly heard a scream that sounded very familiar and sounded like it came from afar.
"Woah! That sounded like...Sonia?" Tikal said.
Sonic gasped. "IT IS! WE HAVE TO GO FIND HER NOW!" He then sped off and everyone followed suit except Amy.
"You guys, wait for me!" Amy cried, turning around only to bump into a closed door.
"Huh? What the..." She said as she got up. She knew that door could not close by itself.
She tried opening it, but it was locked tight.
"HEEEEEEEEEELP! SONIC! YOU GUYS! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Amy screamed and banged on the door repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the others dashed to where they thought they heard Sonia.
"Come on, I think I heard her in here!" Sonic called out and turned a corner back to where the elevator was and kicked open a door.
"Is she in there!?" Tikal asked, getting to close where Sonic was.
"SONIAAAAAAA!" Sonic suddenly screamed and ran to here body. Everyone else reached the room.
"What the...how did she get in here!?" Bean asked.
"Oh my goodness...NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tikal screamed and looked away.
Sonic kneeled down to Sonia and started to cry. He knew that she was dead, but had a little bit of hope inside of him that this was just an 'illusion' and their minds were playing tricks on them.
But it seemed absolutely real.
"God, who the hell did this to her!? Sonia..." Tails whimpered.
"This is such a fucking mess..." Vector whispered and backed out of the room. In fact, he didn't realize how far he was backing out and ended up tripping into the room across where they were.
"YOW!" Vector yelped in brief pain from the bump on his head. The door in front of him slowly closed.
"Hey hey! What the hell's going on here?" Vector got up and tried to open the door, but of course, it was locked.
He started kicking the door as hard as he could in hopes of breaking it open, but no luck.
The crocodile turned around to see what room he was in.
He was in a screening room.
"Aoi must've done this! There is no other person who could've done it!" Bean said.
"But where is Aoi though? He supposedly disappeared after what happened with Shadow..." Tails said.
"Actually...where is Amy and Vector at? They were right behind us, weren't they?" Tikal asked.
"You're right, they were! Something must've happened if they didn't catch up to us. I'll go look for them. You guys, stay here with Sonic." Tails instructed and ran out the room.
He turned the corner again and ran down the hallway. He noticed a door was open across from Aoi's room so he figured they would be in there.
"Amy? Vector? Are you guys in here?" He called out as he entered the room.
They weren't in there, of course. However, the room was filled with a bunch of big and tall stuff that had white sheets all over them, like they were old equipment and were prepared to be put in storage.
"Oh...um...I-I guess they're not in here..." Tails nervously said to himself, very creeped out by the sheet-protected objects.
He turned around only to find the door had somehow closed on him.
"Wh-what the!? Hey! You guys! LET ME OUT! DON'T LEAVE ME IN HERE!" He screamed and banged on the door.
He went on for a few more minutes until he realized that he wasn't going to get out of there so easily.
"...We're all going to die..."
EOC.
Most of the group is officially split up now, which obviously equals bad things in horror movies/stories. More are expected to die so the intensity doesn't stop here. Please review.
