Chapter 2: The nightmare begins
The crew all ran towards Eddie's scream and rounded the corner of the hall. Eddie sat against the wall, eyes huge and his face pale. He sputtered for words but couldn't do it, he simply pointed towards the door of the washroom. Psymon approached the door and gently pushed it open. He quickly looked away and fought back the nauseous sensation that shot throw his throat. Zoe peeked around him and also looked away quickly.
"Oh my God!" she screeched as she ran towards the next washroom, unable to battle back the gag reflex. Psymon looked back down at Luther who laid face down in a large red pool that covered his hair and face. He shuddered and looked away again, but forced himself to investigate.
"What's going on?" Griff asked loudly as he pushed his way through the boarders that still stood outside.
"Griff, no!" Psymon shouted before the child could enter the bathroom. Nate grabbed him and held him from the door.
"Come on, what's in there?" Griff said angrily, Nate took Griff into the next room. Psymon knelt next to Luther and touched his neck. He gagged but still held his lunch down as his fingers touched the clammy skin, the body was still warm, but the pulse was gone. J.P. hesitantly joined Psymon and checked over Luther. They looked at each other, and without a word they rolled Luther onto his back. Through the crimson mask of blood on Luther's face, there was a small round bullet wound in Luther's forehead, just above his left eye. J.P. faced away and vomited from the sight, which made it that much harder for Psymon to remain focused on not doing so as well. They both had finally had enough and had to leave the room. Both men shook violently as they joined everyone else back in the hall. They both gagged for words for several seconds until finally J.P. was able to leak a few words.
"Luther's dead... he was shot." Everyone already had guessed what had happened, but the grim news still made everyone nervous. Psymon and J.P. quickly walked to a couch in the next room to sit before they fainted from the anxiety. Everyone else flooded into the room and tried to remain calm. The room was silent for many minutes until Psymon broke the silence.
"Okay, Kaori is still unaccounted for." He tried to calm the group since Elise now had lost control of herself with panic. "I'm going to go out there and look for her, I've already dealt with one corpse tonight, I may as well risk finding a second." Everyone shuddered or shook continuously. "No one leave this room, everyone must stay together in a large group, whoever did this to Luther won't attack all of us." Eddie agreed once he regained his composure.
"Good call, man. We all have to stay together. We'll camp out in this room, and if anyone, for any reason, has to leave, they go in small groups-"
"No, just stay together, everyone." Psymon insisted, the anxiety in his voice made him almost sound like Stark. "Just, everyone stay here, when we get back from looking for Kaori we'll figure out what to do next." He stood up slowly and tried to fight the shakes in his hands and legs. "Let's go, Mac." Mac looked up in terror.
"Me?! I ain't going out there man!" Everyone looked at Mac with a little shock.
"Mac, it's your girlfriend out there." Nate scolded, Mac still wouldn't budge.
"Someone in here is a killer, given Psymon's track record, it wouldn't surprise me if it's him. I ain't going ANYWHERE alone with him, I'm staying right here." Zoe now got in Mac's face.
"Mac, will you get over it already?! That was a long time ago, and even if Stark WAS nuts, he was not a killer." Psymon calmed Zoe and sat her down, he'd grown used to be accused of being responsible for when things went wrong.
"Fine, Mac you stay here and whimper like a little bitch, I'll go find your girlfriend." Psymon glared down at Mac with a disappointed look as he made his way for the door. Moby quickly broke Marisol's hold of him and stood up.
"I'll go with you." Psymon paused and looked into Moby's dark sunglasses. Moby pulled them off so he and Psymon could look eye to eye. "I'll go with you." Psymon nodded and the entire crew went with them to the front door. Psymon pulled on his hoodie while Moby zipped up his puffy coat.
"We'll have to be quick." Psymon began. "She isn't dressed to be out in that cold for too long, Hell, neither are we." Moby nodded at Psymon's comment. No one was in proper snow attire for the party. The guys mostly wore standard jeans and light shirts, while the ladies mostly donned thin, tight pants or skirts, and none of the ladies wore shirts that covered their arms. Moby and Psymon would definitely feel the cold as they to wore simply jeans, Moby a tight Tshirt and Psymon a black tanktop. They pulled open the door and stared into a wall of snow.
"Well, that kinda puts a monkey wrench in our plans." Psymon pushed into the snow, it wasn't too firm, but it would still be impossible to get out.
"Are there windows upstairs?" J.P. asked. The crew made their way upstairs and found a bedroom where the snow was only halfway up the window.
"We can crawl out that." Moby said confidently. They pushed the window open and a flood of snow piled at the base of the window. Psymon looked up to see the sky lit up with pinks, purples and light blues, a freak blizzard had occurred and was throwing sheets of snow through the air.
"Perfect, that's all we need." Psymon grumbled. He didn't worry too much as each chalet had a bright green light that shone on the roof, allowing lost boarders to find the chalet in the dark or during a storm such as this. "Okay, we'll be back soon." Psymon told the group as he and Moby climbed out the window and waded through the snow. "Stay together, and take care of each other."
So, is anyone else getting the feeling that this is a trap? Who did in Luther? Who will be the next victim? Can Psymon and Moby co-exist to find Kaori? Keep reading and the answers will be told!
