Chapter 16
"Who---who is there?" whispered Ran with a shaking voice. "Who is laughing?"
It was pitch black, Ran and Kazuha huddled together, feeling afraid and miserable. The laughing stopped few seconds ago, and they could not tell who it was or where it came from.
They could only remembered that they were both attacked, fainted and when they woke up, they were in this horrible, cold, dark room of some sort. In the other word, they have no idea where they are.
A soft laughing voice suddenly appeared when they were trying to find a way out of here, it was creepy. VERY creepy.
"Ran----I think----was it a ghost?" whisper Kazuha, and both girls let out a scream and grabbed onto each other, face turning green (even though you can not see their faces in the dark).
Then, the soft, almost whispering voice appeared again in the dark, this time, it spoke.
"Why did you scream?" it said. "Are you scared?"
Ran could feel Kazuha gripping her even tighter, "What did it say, Ran?" whispered Kazuha.
"I ----I think it asked why we screamed." Replied Ran, she could understand English better than Kazuha.
"Why did we screamed? What the hell it thinks? Because we are scared of course!" said Kazuha through her gritted teeth.
"Where are we? Who are you?" asked Ran in English. "Where are you?!"
There was silence, then the voice replied. "You are in one of my rooms. My name is Rosey, what is yours?"
Ran blinked. "Er---Kazuha, I think this is either a very friendly ghost or a little girl."
Kazuha nodded. "I know—it sounds so young!" she relaxed a bit more and said in English:
"Please can we have a look at you? Will you come out?"
then, Ran and Kazuha could hear light footsteps. And a bright light suddenly appeared in the dark, it shone straight at the girls, and they closed their eyes and used their hands to stop some of the light from shining onto their faces.
After a few seconds of blinking and eyes watering , Kazuha realised it was the light from a torch. Someone was holding a torch and standing in front of them.
But still they could not see its face.
"Erm-----we cant see you, can you show yourself?" asked Ran carefully.
The person turned the torch the other way round so the girls could see who was holding it.
A girl, a little girl.
She was wearing a black dress, big green eyes looking at the girls innocently, and her long, curly blond hair was down to her waist. The girl got a very pale face, but she have red little rosy cheeks and a friendly smile on her pretty face.
Ran and Kazuha both got their mouths wide open.
"Well---hello there!" smiled Ran, she walked towards to the girl. "Who are you?"
The girl answered softly. "Rosey."
"Where is your mummy and daddy?" asked Kazuha.
Rosey blinked her greens eyes and answered "I dont have mummy or daddy."
"oh------em, do you know where we are?" asked Ran again.
"You are in the Moonlight hotel, in one of my rooms. I told you before!" giggled Rosey, then her green eyes suddenly turned wide and afraid. "Uncle John will come and find me, you have to hide or he will get angry at me! I was looking for uncle Norferk, I havent seen him for a long time, have you seen Uncle Norferk?"
Ran and Kazuha looked at each other, they both got chills running down their spine.
"Uncle Norferk ---he is ---well---not here anymore--- Im sorry---" replied Ran awkwardly.
The little girls face looked puzzled.
Kazuha reached out and hold Rosey`s little hand.
"Can you show us the way out? We want to meet our friends, I think they might be still in the hotel somewhere." Asked Kazuha. "Dont worry, we will take care of you."
Ran tried not to let out a laugh. "Kazuha, we were just afraid of this little girl a minute ago, and now you say we can protect her? Very convincing."
"Ran---We cant just leave her here---I mean, we need her help, dont we?"
Kazuha turned and looked at Rosey. "Will you help us?"
Rosey nodded. "I will show you the way out, but you have to tell me where I can find Uncle Norferk!"
Ran and Kazuha frowned, they are not sure who this little girl is, and how do they tell a little girl that Sir Norferk is dead?
"Rosey-----do you know anyone else beside Uncle John and Uncle Norferk?" asked Ran.
Rosey thinks hard and she suddenly remembered. "I saw a boy called William once, he was nice. He gave me sweets."
"Great!" smiled Ran. "We will take you to see William, when you show us the way out of here, deal?"
A light came onto Rosey`s pale face, she smiled and nodded. "Okay."
***********************************************************************
"Did you hear that, Shiho?" asked Shinichi.
"Hear what?" replied the red hair girl.
The two of them were on their way back to the guests lounge, where they were suppose to meet after 1 hour since they split up in pairs.
"I dont---I am not sure---sounds like someone screaming." Replied Kudou, he looked around the dark corridors and frowned.
"Yeah? Well, someone screams about every 10 seconds in the place, and its usually us." Muttered Shiho.
"I dont like this, we have to meet up soon." Said Kudou, in no mood for a sarcastic answer. They turned towards the corner and bumped into two shadows.
"AHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed the group.
"Mr Kodou! Gosh----you scared the hell out of us!" gasped Richard, holding up her sister. Tracey was literally on the edge of a nervous breakdown. All the nerve and emotion system are tightly screwed in everyone`s body.
"What did I tell you? We are the ones who are screaming!" sighed Shiho.
Kudou shook his head. "Have you seen Hakuba?" he asked Richard.
"Yeah, they are in the lounge already, we just came to find you and Miss Shiho."
"Hey, found anything interesting?" asked Hakuba, he came up behind the group with Heiji.
"No, nothing, its too dark. We searched behind every paintings, lifted up all the carpets and moved several furniture, still nothing." Replied Kudou, annoyed and worried. Time is running short.
They still could not find Ran and Kazuha, he hoped they are not hurt.
"Did---did you put back the furniture?" asked Tracey. "after all, they are quite expensive. I certainly hope you did not scratch any of the paintings."
Shiho saw the cross sign on Shinichi`s head (and his face turned to a strange, reddish colour), and saw him holding his fist tighter than ever.
She grabbed onto Kudou`s fist before he could explode. "Yes, dont worry, we were very careful."
Shiho lied. She didnt want to tell her that in frustration, Shinichi threw a painting out of the window. (and they certainly didnt put back any furniture)
"shuuuu----listen, can you hear that?" interrupted Heiji, he held his hand up the staring down the stairs at the end of the long corridor.
The group all tensed up and listened carefully. In the dark empty space, cold and eerie, They could hear a faint cry beneath them.
"Kaito~~Kaito!!"
The group froze. Richard and Tracey blinked slowly.
"Its Aoko!" said Shiho.
"Shit!" cursed Hakuba, he rushed pass everyone and ran down the stairs.
Followed with more cursing and not-so-rude swearing, Kudou and Heiji ran behind him.
"Just how much running we must do?" thought Tracey, annoyed and, of course, afraid.
**********************************************************
Aoko was wondering around the hotel trying to find Kaito when she heard some noise from the stock room.
Still calling Kaito, she walked towards the room.
"Kaito, come out now you jerk!!"
Suddenly, the door swung open and a shadow rushed out. Aoko froze. The person had blood all over its hand. It was wearing a hooded coat so Aoko couldn`t possibly see its face.
Then Aoko screamed as the person charged towards her.
But thats all it did. The person roughly pushed Aoko onto the floor and ran away.
Aoko landed on her back. Shaking.
"What---who---shit!" cursed Aoko, she hates swearing, but this time she can find no better words to express what was on her mind.
"Where is--Kaito---oh no!" thought Aoko.
She scrambled onto her feet and rushed into the stock room.
The light from the torch in Aokos hand revealed the nightmare.
In the dark, crowned stock room, there, on the floor, lay Kaito.
There was blood all over his handsome face and blood all over his blue shirt.
Hes eyes was closed, his face was pale.
Next to him, there was a knife stained with wet blood.
"KAITO!!!!" Aoko cried, her first reaction was to NOT believe what she was looking at. (after all, Kaito did always scare her with his fake blood and silly magic tricks.)
"Kaito---its NOT funny!!" said Aoko, walking towards the boy on the floor. Then she suddenly realised this is not a joke. Kaito didnt move.
"Getup----please." she panicked.
She kneeled beside Kaito and lifted his head onto her knee.
"Katio talk to me! Please! Kaito, get up!Please-----dont die---Kaito!"
Aoko puts her hand onto Kaito`s face, and lean closer, trying to hear his heart beat.
She could feel his face, it was cold, and she couldnt feel his heartbeat.
Aoko starts to cry, tears rush down her face. She doesnt care that the blood was now all over her clothes, she doesnt care that Kaito was actually resting on her laps, all she wanted was for Kaito to open his eyes and smiled at her and tell her everything is fine.
She was shaking, and she thought to herself this cant be true.
Aoko was so shock and panicking, she didnt realised Hakuba was now outside the room.
"Aoko! Are you all right---what the---bloody hell, Kaito!!!!"
Hakuba rushed towards Aoko and Kaito.
"What happened?!! Is he---" asked Hakuba, Aoko turned and blinked in confusion. She felt so sick all of the sudden.
"Help him Hakuba, please!" begged Aoko. "He is going to die!!"
Hakuba looked pretty clue less for a few seconds, then he saw the rest of the group arrived outside of the stock room.
Then came the cursing and swearing from the rest of the boys. Shinichi and Heiji kneeled next to Aoko.
"Was he---- stabbed?"
Aoko sobbed, "he—I think he was stabbed on the arm and stomach---but why--- "
Just then, Kaito groaned.
"Kaito!" cried Aoko with joy.
Kaitos first few words was cursing about everything.
Then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Aoko---are you—are you all right?" he asked quietly, more concern about Aoko than anything else.
Aoko smiled and nodded. Tears was still running down her face, and she was still shaking slightly.
Kaito gave a faint smile, and he reached out to wiped away the tears on Aokos face with his red hand.
"I am not—the knif----" he moaned again. "---the diamond—song----its here--- -- get it—and—Ran—Kazuha—here--" Kaito took a deep breath and felt the pain in his stomach. He whispered weakly "Aoko?"
"Yes?"
"I ---cant see----I --wana sleep for a while---" Then he closed his eyes and his body relaxed.
"KAITO!!!KAITO!!" screamed Aoko. "You cant sleep! GET UP!!" (for a second there Shiho thought Aoko was going to slap him)
Hakuba grabbed Kaitos wrist and felt his pulse.
"He just fainted, Aoko."
"Did you see who did this?" asked Heiji.
Aoko nodded. "I cant see its face—it was to dark---but—I think it was a woman."
"We need to stop the bleeding." said Shinichi, worrying. "Where is your first aid box?"
Shiho bend down next to Kaito and watched Richard push through the stock room, knocking things all over the place..
"Our first aid box was here---where the hell is it!" Richard cursed. Then, he let out a happy shout.
"Here!"
He passed it to Shiho, who didnt waste any second to start bandaged Kaito with the help from Aoko.
"Why ---did she attacked Kaito?" said Hakuba.
"Kaito know where Ran and Kazuha is! Thats what he was trying to tell Aoko." Said Heiji.
"Song-----?" said Shinichi, thinking. "song---"
Then he looked at Heiji and Hakuba. All three of them shouted out at the same time.
"THE SONG!"
"OH MY GOSH!!!" screamed Tracey suddenly, she caused the whole group to jerk in surprise.
Tracey`s eyes was wide and her mouth formed a scream, but no more sounds came out of her.
"what`s wrong? Tracey?!" asked Richard, Tracey was standing just outside the room, and she was moving her torch back and fro down the dark corridor, worrying that someone might jump out and stabbed her or something.
That was when she saw the writings on the wall. It was red with blood.
"YOU ARE THE NEXT TO DIE"
Everyone stared at the wall, there was just too much horror, too much murders. Aoko closed her eyes and wished to herself this is not real, it is just a horrible nightmare.
"I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!" screamed Tracey, losing control. "I am leaving, I dont want to be in this damn house anymore!!" she cried, and ran towards the front entrance of the hotel, "I am getting out of here!!"
Hakuba jumped and chased after her. (of course, everyone followed.)
"Tracey! NO!!!" cried Richard as he watched his sister run madly towards the front door.
"Tracey!!" Hakuba shouted, he ran after Tracey when he watched her tripped over and landed on her knees. Scrambled onto her feet again, Tracey was determined to leave the place, even though there was a storm howling outside.
Throwing her hands to grip onto the door handles, she gave out a cry of freedom as she pulled open the door.
A rush of wild wind entered the mansion, rain battered against her beautiful yet pale face, her dark hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks.
She looked around and smiled. She was finally going to get out of here!
She stepped forward and suddenly tripped over, landed on her knees, she looked down and saw a bunch of strings tangled round her right ankle.
She gasped. It wasnt just a string, it was some sort of a trap, it was tied between the posts outside the front entrance and now, like an evil curse, the string wrapped itself even tighter on her ankle, it hurts a lot.
Rain dripped down her face, her hands were wet and slippery, wind howled and thunder clashes.
Frustrated and felt haunted, Tracey tried to untied the string when something made her looked up. She blink her eyes uncontrollably as the rain and wind attacked her big green eyes.
Suddenly, the lightning revealed an ugly face of a gargoyle. It was one of the decoration on top of the roof of the mansion. It was right above Tracey.
Its huge hollow eyes stared at Tracey. Its wide mouth was grinning at her as rain dripped from its mouth down onto her face.
Tracey couldnt breath, she stared at the gargoyle, shocked and confused. As if the gargoyle was laughing at her, enjoying what it was looking at.
"Leave me alone!" cried Tracey. "Let me go!!"
Like answering to Tracey`s plead, it moved. Inch by inch. Bit by bit.
Then it fell.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tracey screamed, unable to move, the string was tangled onto her feet. She cried as she tried to pull her feet free.
Richard watched in pure horror as the stone gargoyle landed on his sister.
Traceys scream was suddenly cut off with the "thud" sound that landed on her body, along with the sickening skull crashing noise.
Blood.
Everywhere. All over the place.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" cried Richard, he landed on his keens, mouth opened. Than a noise came out of his mouth, a moan, horrified, uncontrollable sound.
Aoko screamed. Shiho gasped. Froze.
Hakuba was just few meters away from Tracey as the gargoyle landed on Tracey`s beautiful face.
Blood splashed around his feet. He stood there, unable to move.
Stunned. Shocked. Blanked.
Hakuba stood near the entrance and let the wind and the rain blew wildly onto his face. He cant move his eyes away from Tracey`s body. The gargoyle was big. It was heavy. It landed onto Tracey from her chest up. Her arms, her legs and her body. Not moving.
Only blood. Which ran slowly down the stairs as the rain encourage it, rushing it. Like a stream of red river, it stained the white stairs with its foul colour.
It will be impossible to recognised Traceys face, as it was buried underneath the gargoyle.
Shinichi couldnt move. *This is not happening.* he thought.
Heiji didnt move. Couldnt move.
Silent.
Only the cries from Richard and Aoko.
It was dark.
The only light source was the lightning itself. Each time it struck with the loud thunder, it revealed the nightmare, the scene from hell that embedded into everyone's darkest memory.
The wind was howling, giving out painful cries that shook the soul of everyone who just witnessed this horror.
This murder.

"Where are we? Who are you?" asked Ran in English. "Where are you?!"
There was silence, then the voice replied. "You are in one of my rooms. My name is Rosey, what is yours?"

Ran and Kazuha frowned, they are not sure who this little girl is, and how do they tell a little girl that Sir Norferk is dead?

Rosey thinks hard and she suddenly remembered. "I saw a boy called William once, he was nice. He gave me sweets."
"Great!" smiled Ran. "We will take you to see William, when you show us the way out of here, deal?"
A light came onto Rosey`s pale face, she smiled and nodded. "Okay."

"Its Aoko!" said Shiho.
"Shit!" cursed Hakuba, he rushed pass everyone and ran down the stairs.
Followed with more cursing and not-so-rude swearing, Kudou and Heiji ran behind him.
"Just how much running we must do?" thought Tracey, annoyed and, of course, afraid.

"Help him Hakuba, please!" begged Aoko. "He is going to die!!"
Hakuba looked pretty clue less for a few seconds, then he saw the rest of the group arrived outside of the stock room.

"Here!"
He passed it to Shiho, who didnt waste any second to start bandaged Kaito with the help from Aoko.
"Why ---did she attacked Kaito?" said Hakuba.
"Kaito know where Ran and Kazuha is! Thats what he was trying to tell Aoko." Said Heiji.
"Song-----?" said Shinichi, thinking. "song---"
Then he looked at Heiji and Hakuba. All three of them shouted out at the same time.
"THE SONG!"
"OH MY GOSH!!!" screamed Tracey suddenly, she caused the whole group to jerk in surprise.
Tracey`s eyes was wide and her mouth formed a scream, but no more sounds came out of her.
"what`s wrong? Tracey?!" asked Richard, Tracey was standing just outside the room, and she was moving her torch back and fro down the dark corridor, worrying that someone might jump out and stabbed her or something.

She looked around and smiled. She was finally going to get out of here!
She stepped forward and suddenly tripped over, landed on her knees, she looked down and saw a bunch of strings tangled round her right ankle.
She gasped. It wasnt just a string, it was some sort of a trap, it was tied between the posts outside the front entrance and now, like an evil curse, the string wrapped itself even tighter on her ankle, it hurts a lot.
Rain dripped down her face, her hands were wet and slippery, wind howled and thunder clashes.
Frustrated and felt haunted, Tracey tried to untied the string when something made her looked up. She blink her eyes uncontrollably as the rain and wind attacked her big green eyes.
Suddenly, the lightning revealed an ugly face of a gargoyle. It was one of the decoration on top of the roof of the mansion. It was right above Tracey.
Its huge hollow eyes stared at Tracey. Its wide mouth was grinning at her as rain dripped from its mouth down onto her face.
Tracey couldnt breath, she stared at the gargoyle, shocked and confused. As if the gargoyle was laughing at her, enjoying what it was looking at.
"Leave me alone!" cried Tracey. "Let me go!!"
Like answering to Tracey`s plead, it moved. Inch by inch. Bit by bit.
Then it fell.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tracey screamed, unable to move, the string was tangled onto her feet. She cried as she tried to pull her feet free.
Richard watched in pure horror as the stone gargoyle landed on his sister.
Traceys scream was suddenly cut off with the "thud" sound that landed on her body, along with the sickening skull crashing noise.
Blood.
Everywhere. All over the place.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" cried Richard, he landed on his keens, mouth opened. Than a noise came out of his mouth, a moan, horrified, uncontrollable sound.
Aoko screamed. Shiho gasped. Froze.
Hakuba was just few meters away from Tracey as the gargoyle landed on Tracey`s beautiful face.
Blood splashed around his feet. He stood there, unable to move.
Stunned. Shocked. Blanked.
Hakuba stood near the entrance and let the wind and the rain blew wildly onto his face. He cant move his eyes away from Tracey`s body. The gargoyle was big. It was heavy. It landed onto Tracey from her chest up. Her arms, her legs and her body. Not moving.
Only blood. Which ran slowly down the stairs as the rain encourage it, rushing it. Like a stream of red river, it stained the white stairs with its foul colour.
It will be impossible to recognised Traceys face, as it was buried underneath the gargoyle.
Shinichi couldnt move. *This is not happening.* he thought.
Heiji didnt move. Couldnt move.
Silent.
Only the cries from Richard and Aoko.
It was dark.
The only light source was the lightning itself. Each time it struck with the loud thunder, it revealed the nightmare, the scene from hell that embedded into everyone's darkest memory.
The wind was howling, giving out painful cries that shook the soul of everyone who just witnessed this horror.
This murder.
