Chapter 4

Kai watched Tala for a little bit, but then decided to look around a little more. Maybe go to the library for information on the houses past. Standing up he stretched his back and started up the stairs.

"I wonder what happened in this place?"

Kai got to the tenth step, before his foot got sucked into a hole on the stairs.

"What the…this wasn't here before…how did...Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He was cut off mid sentence as the rest of the stair swallowed him. Kai narrowed his eyes and looked straight down. Darkness surrounded him, until…

'Thud'

"Ah…God…my head…"

Looking up Kai noticed that the hole was gone. Growling he stood up and dusted himself off. 'Great stuck in a part of a mansion that I don't even know how to get out of or where in the mansion it is…if it IS still in the mansion.'

"All right…where in the hell am I?"

Deciding standing around was getting him no where he started to walk. With out knowing where he was headed. Then he ran into something…it rammed him right in the stomach. Coughing, he felt around. Finding what felt like a candle, searching around a little more he found a match. Finding it a little awkward that a match would be placed right by a candle…but he didn't think too much into it. Lighting the candle, he looked around for torch, which he found conveniently next to a door.

Kai grabbed the now lit torch and searched the room once more, finding no where else to go he opened the only door in the room hoping it would lead out…but boy was he wrong.

SCENE CHANGE

Rei whipped around hearing a yell come from the staircase, racing to the stairs he looked up…no one was there. Shivering Rei turned around. Walking back into the living room, where Tala was still unconscious. Sitting down Rei looked out the window…

"What…in the hell is that?"

Rei blinked, there was a figure standing by the tree in the front yard…slouching like he was hurt and about to fall. Rushing out side Rei stood on the front porch. Tipping his head to the side he placed his hands on both sides of his mouth and yelled,

"Hey mister! Are you okay?"

When he got no reply he raced off the porch figuring that the man couldn't hear him. Panting he raced up to the figure.

"Hey, HEY! Are you okay…mister are yo…Oh…my…god."

Right in front of him was a man that had a knife stab wounds all over him and one of his eyes gouged out. His lip was bleeding and his cloths were stained with blood. Rei stumbled back a few inches, his eyes as wide as saucers. His breath came out in short pants and he started to shake.

The man in front of him groaned, making Rei jump, Then the man looked up at him, seeing Rei made him glare. The glare froze Rei in place. Pushing himself from the tree he made his way towards him. That's when Rei noticed the knife in the mans hand. Shutting his eyes Rei spun around and ran for it, the bloody man close behind. The next thing Rei new the man had tackled him and shouted,

"I WILL GET MY REVENGE!"

"No! AHHHHHH!"

SCENE CHANGE

"Kai! Rei! Where are ya? Guys?"

Bryan sighed as he walked from the stairs to the kitchen, with no sign of finding Kai or Rei. He knew where Tala was…unconscious. Grabbing a water bottle from the fridge he walked into the living room and plopped in the recliner. Closing his eyes he sighed again. 'They always leave with out saying anything. With telling me that they are leaving! Yup just leave Bryan out! I don't need to know!' Growling he took a gulp of his water, when a shifting noise caught his attention.

"Kai…is that you?"

Standing up Bryan sat his bottle down on the stand next to that recliner. Walking out into the main hall in front of the staircase he glanced up the stairs. Seeing no one he was going to head back to the living room when he heard a scrap then thud. Like something was kicked or knocked over.

"Rei?"

He proceeded up the stairs, following the sound of something…something strange. Like a person was choking. Quickening his speed he walked to the doors that lead to the library. The big doors opened with a loud creak. Bryans eyes were met with darkness, a creepy darkness. Shivers went up and down his spine telling him that something wasn't right. Still he creeped inside the darkened library. He felt around for a light switch when he finally found one, he clicked it on.

"Hey Rei! Kai! Are ya'll in…here…"

His sentence was cut short by what he saw. Up on the top floor of the railing of the library he saw something he didn't want to see. A woman hanging by her ankles upside down and her throat slit.

"This is so not happening."SCENE CHANGE

Kai stood in the doorway of what looked like a torture chamber. This place had it all, knives, swords, whips, a stretching table, everything an evil person could ever hope to have. He couldn't believe it.

"What kind of person would have this kind of stuff…ah."

Kai was then pushed into the room, where it was shrouded in complete darkness, cause the torch went out and flew a few feet away. He landed on the ground with a soft thud. Growling he picked him self up onto his knees and tried to stand all the way up, but something was holding him down.

"What the hell?"

Chains. They were securely fastened around his wrists and his ankles. Jerking on them he growled. Infuriated that he was caught of guard, he also knew that whoever did this was still in here. He could sense his presence.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?"

Then he heard a whisper that sent shivers up and down his spine. The voice sounded evil and full of hatred and contempt. The person said,

"Revenge."SCENE CHANGE

Shifting around Tala groaned as he started to wake up. Opening his eyes he looked around, seeing no one he sat up. Hissing as pain shot up from his right wrist.

"Damn it! A sprained wrist! Just what needed!"

Sighing he stood himself up and walked into the main hall when he collided into something, something that was moving fast. The blow knocked him down, causing him to fall onto his sprained wrist.

"Ah! God Damn it! Ah! What the hell?"

"Tala? You're up?"

"Bryan…yeah I'm up? Or else I wouldn't be walking around! Why were you going so god damn fast?"

"I saw something…"

"You saw something…something actually made you run away? What was clowns again?"

"No! And I never ran away from clowns ever I…That's besides the point. Tala you have to here."

"What are y…gahhhh."

Bryan had grabbed Talas good wrist and yanked him up, then after practically dragging him up the stairs. Pulled him in front of the library doors. Growling Tala yanked his hand from Bryans grip. Glaring at him he caressed his left wrist.

"What? You want to sprain my other wrist too?"

"No. Sorry. Look I want to show you something…you can't freak out…"

"Like you? I don't thing so. Just show me what ever the hell it is."

"Alright."

With that Bryan opened the doors and flipped on the switch. They both walked into the library, Tala ahead of Bryan, hand on his hip, he looked around. His cerulean eyes narrowed as he searched but found nothing.

"What? An empty library? This is what scared you?"

"No! No…there was something here…a woman hanging over there…and her throat was slit…I don't understand it. She was right there."

"Uh huh? Right. A lady with her throat slit hanging…" Tala gave a laugh. "Like I'm supposed to believe that! And you guys thought I was the crazy one! Seems to me like you've had one too many glasses of margaritas! Come on now and help me find Rei and Kai."

"…uh…Tala…"

Frustrated Tala growled. Bryan had his mouth open and looked like he was as pale as a ghost. His eyes were wide as saucers and his breathing was soft and fast.

"Bry…Bryan…what's wrong?"

When he didn't get an answer he fumed. He had had it! First Kai and Rei were missing, then Bryan bumps into him. Spraining his wrist, again. The grabbing, dragging him up the stairs and almost twisted his other wrist. Just to end up in an empty library with nothing but books. Now Bryan was standing there like he's seen a ghost and even respond to him!

"Bryan this is the it I've had it! I…Bry… Where'd you go? Bry!"

When he blinked…Bryan was gone. He had disappeared. But where too. Running out of the Library he began to call for his friends. Searching everywhere. Outside, in the garden, by the pool, all over the mansion, but he still couldn't find them.

"God! What the hell is happening? What's going on? Kai! Rei! Bryan! Where are you? This isn't funny guys! Come on I'm not playing any more!"

Stopping in front of the grand staircase he sat on the first step trying to catch his breath, and trying to think of all the possible reasons of where everyone went. He was alone. No one was there. Or at least that's what he thought until an evil, demented, cold, and malicious voice whispered,

"You're done playing…aw so soon. I'm just starting to have fun."

"What…the…"

The last Tala remembers was an evil, sadistic laugh before complete darkness took him.
