Chapter Two
The Setting: Yellow Comet HQ, up in the Mountains
The Time: 6:26 PM
The Situation: Oh Great, It's Night.
It was begining to approach dusk. A slight drizzle watered the grass and woods around the HQ, as dinner was about to be served.
"Hope ya guys like it..." said the chef. "It's one of our specials."
"I've heard," said Drake. "Say, where's Jess? Isn't she supposed to be here?"
"She went to her room," said Eagle. "She told me she wanted to skip the meal."
"That's a pity," the chef said. "It'll be really good!"
Everyone was sitting at the table, except for Jess. It wasn't actually one table, but a couple put together.
"Here it is!"
The food began to be placed upon the table: Mashed patatoes, peas, corn, a chicken, stuffing, spaghetti, and the utensils were passed out.
"Well, then... hey, where did Sonja go?"
"I'm up here."
They looked up. Sonja was on the second floor, looking through the glass windows outside.
"Come on down, you'll miss your dinner."
"In a second..."
They all began eating.
"My, I must say, this stuff is delicious..." Hachi said through a mouthful of mashed patatoes.
"Thank you," the chef said. "Well, I'd better be going. See you all in the morning."
"Thanks, and good night," came some replies around the table.
"What the- hey!!"
Everyone looked up at Sonja. She had pressed up against the glass.
"Guys! There's someone down there! He's got Jess!"
Eagle stood up at hearing that.
"What?!"
They all watched the window. Suddenly, the strange figure that was outside the HQ earlier that day ran by the window, holding an arm around Jess's neck!
"What the-"
"Jess!"
Eagle practically broke the window as he pushed it open and ran outside. "Jess!!!"
"Eagle, wait!" Sami yelled. She, Hachi, Drake, and Max quickly jumped outside and followed.
"Wait up!" shouted Max.
"Jess? JESS!" Eagle called frantically. He tripped over something and fell to the ground. Sami, Drake, Hachi, and Max caught up to him as he got up.
"Are you okay?" Drake asked.
"No! Jess is gone! Friggin'... what did I trip over?"
He looked down, and gasped. It was a leg. Jess's leg.
"Oh shit!" Max said, stumbling backwards as he saw it.
Hachi looked farther down. "Oh my God..."
They all looked. Farther down was Jess's arm!
"No! This can't be!" Eagle shouted. He ran farther into the woods. "JESS! JESS!"
He tripped again, this time over something more heavy... too enraged to get back up, he turned his body and raised a fist to punch it, when he found himself staring into a pair of cold, lifeless eyes. It was Jess's mutilated body.
A scream pierced the night.
---
"She's dead?!"
"Yeah... Jesus, Eagle scared the shit out of me, screamin' like that..."
"Can you blame him? He found himself face to face with a dead Jess!"
"I'm not saying I was blaming him..."
Eagle was on the couch, twitching under a blanket. He hadn't talked since he had seen Jess's body.
"I feel kinda sorry for him..." Hachi said. "Jess suddenly turns up dead... and what was with the weird ski mask dude?"
"That friggin' murderer," Sonja said.
"We need to try and calm down, people," Nell said. "Get a hold of yourselves!"
"There's some sort of lunatic out there, waiting to strike again!" Flak said. "I can't see how you can be so calm, but we can't!"
"We could at least try," Andy shrugged.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Drake said. "We're all gonna die! What's the point?"
"It's really helpful of you to say that," Sensei said sarcastically.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps. It sounded like they were coming from the roof...
"Is someone on the roof?" asked Nell.
"It's him! He's here to kill us!" Flak said.
The footsteps continued, but then suddenly stopped. Everyone was tense.
"...it stopped..."
Suddenly, the lights went out, drenching the room in darkness. Everyone paniced. It was pitch black!
"I can't fricken' see!"
"What the hell happened?!"
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! AAAAAHH!"
"Andy, wait! Where the hell are you going!?"
Everyone ran about the room, and footsteps were heard leaving. Someone apparantly ran into a wall, for there was a loud "BUMP".
Suddenly, a flashlight turned on.
"Everyone okay?" It was Eagle.
"Yeah... perfectly fine..." Drake said, breathing heavily.
"We must have hit a power outage," he muttered.
"No way! It was that creep!" Flak said.
"How could he do it from the roof?" asked Hachi.
"My point exactly," Eagle said.
Suddenly, they all heard a scream.
"No again, damnit!" Drake said, covering his ears. "Make it stop! Please!"
"That was Andy!" Max said.
"Come on!" shouted Sami.
They all ran out of the room, each of them rushing through the door one by one. They entered, and ran down the hall.
"I heard it down here!" Eagle said, getting in front with his flashlight. "Come on!"
They continued, running, until they saw blood on the wall.
"Holy-"
"That's freakin' blood!"
"Look, there's more over there!"
"It's everywhere!!"
"Look..."
Eagle slowly aimed his flashlight until he completely saw it - the severed head of CO Andy. Sami fell against Max and wept. Everyone else was silent.
A thunderbolt cracked, and the lights went back on.
