Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was changed in their pajamas, ready for bed. Enrique was digging through his bag for something, while tossing everything else onto the ground around him.
"What are you looking for Enrique?" asked Oliver, leaning over.
"Argh! I'm looking for my bracelet!" answered Enrique, digging even faster, "I can't seem to find it anywhere!"
"Maybe it's outside." suggested Bryan, quietly.
"Are you nuts? Its almost mid-night!" said Mariah sharply. "Search for it tomorrow!"
"I agree with Mariah." said Lily, in a low, foreboding tone. "Besides, it's much easier to look for tomorrow in the morning."
"It's my mom's bracelet!" argued Enrique. "It's very important!"
"I'll go with you , Enrique." offered Ray, getting up from his bed.
"You two better be careful!" Li warned them. "And don't take too long."
"Both of you better return within five minutes." said Ozuma. "It's almost mid-night, and we don't want you two to be killed." Ray nodded.
"I gotcha. Five minutes."
The two searched everywhere, but were wary of their friends' warnings but couldn't find it. Ray and Enrique were gonna give up when Ray spotted something shiny amongst a bush.
"Enrique, do you see that?" he asked, moving over. The said boy walked up to the tangled vines and thrust his hand into them.
"Hey I found it !" said Enrique after a few seconds, taking the bracelet out of a bush.
"That's great, now lets get back." stated Ray quickly, looking around. "It is getting late and... wait..." He narrowed his eyes, glancing around suspiciously.
"W-What's the matter?" asked Enrique, unable to surpress the fear in his voice.
"The air... suddenly got very cold... it almost seems like..."
The door to the room where Mr. Dickenson's body lay creaked open on its own accord...
-Bedroom
"What's wrong Rikku?" asked Max, who took a step back in alarm, as the said her began to tremble.
"Mr. Dicken....son's.... spirit....." she stammered. "It's coming...."
The door was slammed open, Ray and Enrique came dashing in, locking the door behide them. They were gasping for air and were trembling in horror.
"He's coming!" yelled Ray. "Everyone better remember to pretend to be sleeping!"
They all jumped into their beds and closed their eyes tightly.
'Make him go away... make him go away...' Mariam chanted in her head, secretly crossing her fingers.
The door unlocked itself and was slowly pushed opened, revealing a tall, shriveled up figure.
It walked slowly and in an unsteady rhtymn, as if, it was not used to walking. It limped over to where Kenny, Max and Tyson lay first.
Max quickly peeped at what was happening. He saw out of the shadows it was Mr. Dickenson.
~Max's POV
He looked different. His skin was pale and u can see those green veins.
His eyes glowed red in the moonlight.
I quickly closed me eyes. I felt his cold hands on my face damp with a sticky, wet liquid. He started to rub my face, as if caressing it.
Okay, Max! Think happy thoughts! Think happy thoughts! Do not panic!
The cold, wet hand was finally off my face.
I slowly calmed down as the footsteps finally left the room. My tense body relaxed after a while and my world slowly faded away...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the girls scream in horror and disgust. Everyone's faces were covered in blood.
"BLOOD!" Kenny screamed while running in circles, and only stopping when he tripped over Lily's outstretched foot.
"This might be strawberry syrup!" said Tyson, trying to calm his friends down and to convince himself.
Tyson wiped the red liquid with his index finger and licked it.
"Ok, this isn't strawberry syrup...."
Everyone ran into a washroom to take a bath and wash the blood left behind by Mr. Dickenson. The doors slammed shut, leaving Tyson the only one who didn't get a washroom.
"Damn all of you!" yelled Tyson, while throbbing at a random door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Garden-
"Okay." began Mr. Lawyer. "All of you shall explore the basement today."
Whimpers were heard.
"Why do we have to?" retorted Tala, defiantly.
"Death penalty." replied Mr. Lawyer, calmly.
"Never mind..." answered Tala, sighing. "Man, why did I just have to come?"
"Take any weapons with you down there." instructed Wong. "You don't know what is hiding down there..."
"WHAT?!" yelled the teenagers.
"So your sending us down to a basement. With creatures that can ambush us at anytime?!" asked Robert, fuming in righteous anger.
"Yes," came the unsympathetic reply.
"I say we should bring our beyblades." suggested Kai as murmurs of agreement rang through the room.
"Go back to your room and bring out any weapons you want with you." said Wong. "Meet us back here."
~~~~~~~~~
The group was down in the basement.
"I don't like it in here!" whimpered Kenny, "It's too... creepy!" Max agreed.
"Yeah, it's always like this in the movies! The heroes are trapped in a basement or attic! Then they are separated, one by one until all of them are killed off!"
"Seriously! I think those old guys sent us down here to kill us, on purpose!" accused Rain.
"Sadistic bastards..." added Ian.
"Ahahaha..." Kevin laughed nervously, "You're joking... right?" To his disappointment, no one answered him. "Right? Guys?" The rest of the beybladers continued their way down the dark, damp, hallways until they reached a corner.
"Uh oh... this is the part where the heroes turn the corner and gets killed by a monster on the other side!!" The chief's voice cracked with fright.
"Can it, Kenny! We DID NOT need to hear that!" snapped Rikku.
Cautiously, they turned the corner to find...
...a troll-like creature standing on the other side which bore a frightening resemblance to Freddy. [A/N Freddy V.S. Jason, but without the finger knives.]
"What is that!?" asked Kane, when the creature did not show any signs of life.
"It looks like a guy in a suit!" joked Joseph.
"Maybe Joseph is right." said Salima, backing away, just in case.
"It must be that Lawyer guy!" Tyson didn't waste a chance to jump to conclusions.
"Alright the jig is up!" said Kevin, feeling a bit braver. "We know it's you!"
The troll like creature suddenly gave out a sinister laugh and took hold of something behind the wall and pulled it into view.
Some of teenagers gave out a cry. It was a head that use to belong to a human. Blood was dripping on the floor.
Rikku loaded an arrow into her quiver and shot the troll in the forehead.
It collapsed onto the floor.
Bryan and Tala went up to it. They checked it's face to see if this person has been wearing a mask or not.
The both turned to the group.
"This was a real troll." said Tala gravely.
"What?!" yelled Kevin. "So that wasn't a person?!"
Kevin went up to the body and started pulling on it's face.
"Fuck!" cursed Kevin. "It's glued on tight!"
All of a sudden. The troll's eyes opened, glowing green. It reached out and seized Kevin by his neck.
"HELP!" cried Kevin, clawing at the arms tightening around his throat.
Rikku shot four more arrows on the troll. Two arrows in his two eyes, one into his mouth and one right in his heart.
The troll gave out a loud yell and crumpled to the ground lifelessly as Kevin fell out of its slackened grip.
Kevin ran to Mariah and started sobbing on her shoulder who wrapped her arms around him, trying to console him.
"I... w-was s-so scared!" he choked out through his tears.
"It's all right now, Kevin. Don't worry, its not going to hurt you anymore..." she said soothingly.
Kai looked around at the group of distressed teens, scattered around the halls. The younger ones were sniffling while the others were trying to catch their breaths.
"I-I think I just lost ten years of my life..." stammered Ray... placing his hand over his still pounding heart.
"No kidding!" agreed Tyson, looking shaken and pale.
"I'm surprised I didn't die of a heart-attack yet!" confessed Dunga loudly.
"Mon dieu! C'est impossible! Trolls aren't supposed to exist!" yelled Oliver.
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!!!" shrieked Rain, who was very honest about her emotions.
"That was so uncouth! Uncouth I tell you!" hollered Robert.
"Would you shut up?" snapped Lily, slightly hissing, "it's worse enough as it is!!"
Kai sighed, as he cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. The whole hall grew silent as they fixed their gaze on the slate-haired BladeBreaker.
"We're not going to get anywhere, just standing around and screaming like that. Lets get a move on." Pulling themselves together, the teenagers agreed as they walked past the fallen troll's body, only to find seven door ways.
"Let's split up in seven groups." said Lee. "So we can get out of here faster."
"Are you sure?" questioned Spencer dryly, "it seems like a good way to die."
"I know what I doing!" insisted Lee.
~Rain's POV
It's been half an hour since we split up and we didn't bump into anything yet. I have a strange feeling about this... it seemed to convinient...
"Rikku, I think we should go back." said Justine, unsurely. "It's been half an hour and I'm worried about the others!"
Rikku didn't reply.
"Rikku?"
Her eyes were in shadows.
She lifted her head slowly to reveal that her eyes had become a pitch black, showing completely no emotion.
"She's being controlled by something!" exclaimed Lily, her own eyes widening in shock.
Rikku wordlessly took an arrow and loaded her quiver. She turned her blank eyes upon her team.
"Rikku! It's us! Snap out of it!" I yelled, taking a step back as she found herself facing the end of an arrowhead. Okay, this isn't good.
"There should be a demon, or something close by!" yelled Lily, falling back on her backside to avoid another volley of arrows, "If we can destroy it, maybe she'll go back to normal!"
Justine's scanned across the dark hallways.
"I don't see a thing!" she cried. I cursed as I avoided another assault.
"Concentrate on the breathing! It's gotta be close by!" suggested Stephanie, taking her chance and seizing Rikku by her wrists as Lily tried to wrestle her weapon out of her hands.
"And hurry! We can't hold her any longer!" added Lily as Rikku threw her off of her and kneed her in the stomach. "Ow." she added.
Wrenching herself free, Rikku once again turned her loaded weapon as us.
"Rikku!" I shouted. Justine was quickly searching the hall, squinting through the darkness.
"Concentrate." I heard her say. What were we going to do? This really isn't laughing matter... wait a second... laughing?
"Hey wait, you guys! I hear someone laughing!" I shouted. Lily and Stephanie paused.
"You're right!" Justine exclaimed, turning around, searching for the source of the sound. "It's... coming from... over there!" she cried, spinning around. A large spider demon hung from the ceiling on a large net, covering it.
"Take this!" she yelled as she threw a dagger at the laughing demon.
Rikku's eyes turned back into confused green.
"W-what happened?"
"We should leave now." commanded Stephanie. "We don't know what will happen next."
-Garden-
"Hey!" called Max. "You guys are back!" Standing with him were Tyson, Kenny, Ozuma, Mariam, Joseph, Kevin, Mariah, Ray, Kai, Tala, Salima, Kane, Enrique, and Oliver.
"Why so excited?" asked Rain, brushing dust off her clothes.
"Because Robert, Lee, Bryan, Ian, Dunga, Jim, and Spencer aren't back yet." Stephanie looked at him in surprise.
"Weren't they in a group together?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"Then what happened?"
"They just all of a sudden went missing." said Kenny.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Lily, narrowing her dark eyes in frustration.
"Nothing." replied Mr. Lawyer, indifferently.
"So were gonna do nothing and just let demons devour them?!" yelled Kai.
"No." replied Mr. Lawyer. "You should concentrate on yourselves."
"Your insane!"
"All of you should go back to your bedroom." said Wong. "It's getting late."
-11:00pm-
Mariah and Rikku were returning from their trip to the washroom.
"Wonder what happened to Robert and the others." said Mariah.
"I don't want to even think about it." said Rikku while shuddering.
Mariah was walking but stopped when her foot collided into something, rather soft.
"What's wrong Mariah?" asked Rikku.
"I think I just kicked something." she answered turning a bit pale.
Rikku took a flashlight out and pointed at the object.
Robert lay in a puddle of blood.
