Chapter 15
Sam removes a deck of cards with a picture of a Devil on them and lays them on the table between the boys. Tells Jack to shuffle them and he does without question. When he's done he returns them to the center of the table. Sam then directs Clu to take 10 cards out of the pile, keep 5 for himself and give the other half to Jack, without looking at the suits or the numbers.
"Ok guys I know you like War, so I thought I'd let you play. Whoever loses more is the one I pick."
"Pick for what!?" Clu screams at him.
"All in good time my friend. Now both of you flip over one card." Clu wins with a Jack of diamonds.
"So what happens to the winner?" Jack asks.
"Again." Sam says ignoring the question. Again Clu comes out the winner with an 8 of spades. Jack knows if he doesn't win the next round there would no point to continue. He realized Sam wasn't using the term picking someone like you do in a baseball game. Yet he didn't want Clu to loose either.
"Flip." At last Jack manages a win with 3 of hearts.
"Hey what do you consider Aces?" Clu questions, he didn't know if he had an Ace or not in his remaining cards he just wanted to delay the game some how.
"There high. Next." With a 9 of clubs Jack wins. The boys look at each other in horror, it was tie, either one of them could take all the marbles in this.
"Look I don't want to play anymore. Pick me." Clu says while putting his card still face down at the side of the table right where Sam is standing. Jack looks at him in horror while shaking his head no.
"Sorry rules are rules. You know the drill flip them over." Extra slowly the boys' turn over the cards. They look at them, at each other, and back up, they hadn't been excepting that.
"Um now what?" Clu asks.
"You both lose."
"Wait what about a show down?"
"It's my game. And I say you both lose." Fiona was upset enough of the possibility of losing one of the boys, but both was unthinkable. Oh why did they have to tie!? Then she realizes in a strange way it might be for the best. She really won't be able to pick between them and both boys would of never forgiven himself if he had won. But no matter what, no matter what happened Fiona would always hold the burden in her heart. After all this guy was following her, opposised with her, and because she was scared to go upstairs by herself they were now here. If she had stayed with Aunt Melinda a little longer everyone including herself might be save.
"Stay there." Sam tells the boys while turning his attention once again to Fi. He gives his best looking smile once again, but it still doesn't turn her on or anything. Fiona just stares at him showing no emotion of any kind, then sticks her middle finger up. Sam copies the movement and mouths the words all in good time. The level of worry and panic inside of her suddenly went three levels higher. She could see Clu slowly getting up from his seat and then Jack pulling him back down. Fiona really wished she had a super hero to save the day and make everything better.
"All right Clu if your so anxious to get up and to do something, you may go first, come on you too." Sam says while yanking the boys up roughly on their arms and drags them into the bathroom and slams the door shut. Now was a perfect chance to leave. Fi waits a moment before making her move, unsure if it was another of Sam's tricks, then the screaming is heard. All three of them, but mainly Clu and Sam are cursing and competing in the screaming match of the century. It's now or never she thinks while walking to the door. Just as her hand is starting to turn the handle she hears the loudest thud in her life followed by a disrupting moan. Fiona exits her newly discovered hell and runs down the hallway, barely able to see through the tears.
The elevator doors weren't opening, and there was no saying how long it could take for it to reach her. Fiona knew she couldn't stand waiting forever; she was like a bear during hunting season open for all the hunters to see. So she decides to take the stairs and walk nine flights down, hopefully to safely. Fi wasn't used to this many stairs, at least she was going down so it wasn't that bad. At last she reaches the bottom and pushes the door to leave the dust and cobweb filled area. And comes face to face with Sam.
"Now that wasn't nice Fiona. And I thought we having such a nice time together." He says while pulling her to him, and once again covering her mouth. Maybe someone will see us, after all were not in some isolated hallway anymore, she thinks to herself. But no one was, the whole world seemed to be frozen. Sam lifts Fiona up ignoring the kicking of her feet and then slams the door of the stairs, trapping her inside with him.
