Author's Note:
This chapter is kinda short, don't bitch at me about it! I'm working really hard to beat my writer's block, it isn't as easy as it seems, trust me! Hope you all like this chapter, I'll try to write the next one faster and with a little more content.

"Serena!?!" Both Dennis and Evy shouted at the same time, running down the staircase.
They had searched upstairs and found her to be nowhere in sight, now they were forced to look on the first floor.
"She couldn't have left, the place is sealed, right?" Dennis asked himself more than Evy as they searched through the downstairs hallways.
"I don't know anymore..." Evy sighed.
Serena stood over the table in the library, glancing through the books and papers that were scatter about it. Dennis walked past the glass wall, as he peered through it he spotted Serena and ran towards the doorway.
"What're you doing in here?" he asked her, Serena looked up at him as she thought.
"I have an idea..." Serena muttered, walking past Evy and Dennis, out of the library and down the hall, the other two followed.
Quickly she turned down the corridor to her right, she then began to march down the stairs into the basement.
"What, NO!" Dennis shuttered in shock as she lunged towards the glass wall separating the hallway from the staircase. "Why in the hell are you going down there!?!" he questioned as he beat on the glass, getting her attention.
"Look..." Serena said, walking back up the steps some. "There has to be some kinda control room to this place, if we find it we can open the front door."
Dennis slowly walked around the wall, standing between the middle of the glass divider, leaning on it slightly.
"No, no... That's too risky..." He mumbled, shaking his head as he stared at her, a childlike look of fear on his face.
"Then what do you suppose we do?" Serena asked, Evelyn just stood on the other side of the glass, silent.
Serena stared at the terrified look of bewilderment on their faces, she then sighed as she tried to think up a way to get them to accompany her... deep down she was just as scared as they were, if not more.
"We should be safe, I mean they are all locked up..." she mumbled, glancing down at the glass steps.
"Yeah, and I'm sure with all the walls sliding around they're still locked away safe!" Evy said finally, disbelief sounding in her voice.
"Fine, then we'll just wait for them to come to us!" Serena spat, Dennis and Evy looked at each other with worry.
Dennis sighed with frustration and put on a pair of the viewers unwillingly.
"Fine, get outa the way!" he whined, walking down the stairs drearily.

Slowly Dennis led them down the dark hallway, Evy wearing the viewers that he had handed her when they entered the basement, Serena wearing a pair she had brought with her... she was always prepared, but would she be for what lie ahead of them tonight?
Dennis crept cautiously down the hall, sweat pouring down is face from stress and fear. Evy lurked closely behind him, hugging her arms as if she were cold despite the warm temperature in the house. Serena followed them faithfully, glancing around at the corridors, almost as paranoid as Dennis was, taking it all in curiously.
"Can you see anything?" Evy whispered to him.
"No, not yet..." he said softly, his voice was calm but it was easy to tell he was on pins and needles.
The white handled switch flew up, the glass wall enclosing the Bound Woman slide back, releasing the spirit.
Evy stayed close behind Dennis, so worried about him she forgot that Serena was even in the same house with them.
The white lever flipped up baring the symbol of the Withered Lover, then the Torso... the glass walls began to move again.
Dennis, Evelyn, and Serena looked around the hallway frantically as they heard the faint sound of the glass sliding, they knew what that sound meant, they had to hurry before the ghosts made it to them.
"I don't like the sound of that!" Serena shuttered.
"Lets just find this damn control room thingy!" Evy fussed.
"Yeah, where is it?" Dennis asked Serena.
"Well, the last time I was down here it was straight down this way." Serena stated, pointing to the left where there was a wall blocking the hallway that was once there. "But with all the sliding walls... things have changed!" she sighed in confusion.
"How convenient, maybe you should have mentioned that before we came down here!" Dennis protested.
"So we're side tracked a little..." Serena commented. "Its gonna be okay, we just gotta stick together and we'll make it outa here in one piece!"
The severed halves of the lawyer Ben Moss laid slumped on the floor between the blood drenched glass wall behind him... the suitcase he had died for, broken in two and the money scattered among the glass block floor. Then suddenly the wall next to what was left of him slid to the left, opening the cube that wore the symbol of the Jackal.
The mad cackling sounded down the hallways, but unfortunately the frightened trio was too busy being paranoid to concentrate and hear the ghostly laughter. Dennis pointed down the hallway in front of them, leading the two women further into the basement... and into the nightmare that awaited.
