Chapter 5: Pinned

Jewel followed closely behind Kai as they ventured deeper into the darkness. She was basically holding his hand so that she wouldn't become separated from him. Suddenly Kai stopped which caused Jewel to stumble into him making them both fall to the ground.

"Sorry Kai," she apologized as she stood up and then helped Kai up. "Why did you stop so fast anyways?" she asked.

"Look over there," he said as he pointed far off into the distance.

"What is it?" Jewel asked moving to Kai's side.

"It looks like some kind of torture chamber," Kai answered as they began to walk closer to have a better look. "Notice the straps on the walls and the gelatin!" he said in shock.

"A gelatin!" Jewel screamed. She looked over Kai's shoulder and saw the death trap in the middle of the room. "Why would they have something like this in a fancy hotel?" she asked.

"Beats me," Kai said. "They probably don't even know that this is here," he continued. "I mean this wouldn't be a five star hotel if they knew there was a torture chamber in here," Kai said.

"You have a good point," agreed Jewel. "Are we going to go through this room?"

"Well we will have to because the door is on the other side," Kai answered. He noticed Jewel take a steep back. "Come on," he said grabbing her hand, "And don't let go!" Kai advanced forward with Jewel keeping close behind him. They walked past numerous knives, guns, whips, and then the gelatin. Jewel closed her eyes as they walked past it when she noticed some dry blood on it. Finally they made it to the other side of the room and Kai placed his hand on the knob to open the door. He stared to turn it and suddenly there was a loud crash. Kai and Jewel turned around to see the gelatin blade crashing down. Jewel jumped and Kai stared at it. It seemed as though it had been hours when Kai finally spoke. "Lets go," he said as he opened up the door and pulled Jewel with him.

Max moved along the twisting trail of hallways. It was dark except for certain stops where some light peered through. Hearing footsteps behind him, Max was sure that Rei was following him. "Rei do you think it was a good idea for us to split up?" Max asked as he continued walking. There was no answer from the soft steps behind him. "Rei?" Max asked worried, "Are you alright?" Suddenly, Max felt a sharp pain in his back that moved deeper into his body. Max fell to his knees as he turned his head to see who it was. "You're not Rei!" said Matt as he felt the knife go deeper and then through his heart. Max lay motionless taking one last look at the killer. His eyes widened, "Why?" he coughed out and that was his last breath.

Rei stood up from where he was kneeling. "Ok Max I'm ready lets get moving," he said. "Huh Max are you there?" he asked out loud. 'Oh no, I thought he heard me when I said that I was going to stop to fix my shoe,' Rei thought. 'Guess I better find him.'

Rei stared to walk forward when he came across a room with a gelatin in the middle of it. "This is weird," he said out loud taking a step into the room. 'The gelatin is closed. I wonder whom had their head chopped of. Oh, bad thought! It wouldn't be good if it was Max, Jewel, or Kai.' Rei quickly erased the thought from his mind. He walked across the room and started to open the door when a drop of a red substance fell on his hand. 'Huh? Is this blood?' he thought as he looked up at the ceiling. "Holy." his voice trailed off as he started at Max's body pinned to the ceiling imbedded with knives. Rei quickly ran through the door and shut it fast behind him. Taking in a few long, deep breathes Rei continued on his way, now on a mission to find Jewel and Kai.
