Eric and Sarah were slowly making their way through the kitchen, their only light being the few rays of the sunset seeping through the windows. Erik smiled as he grabbed two knives hanging from a wall. He handed one to Sarah.
"Thanks," she said as she twirled her hair.
Eric just froze there, a stupid smile on his face. He shook his head and snapped out of the trance. Focus, kid. First rule of horror films, get interested in girls and you die. "We better keep moving," he told her.
As they continued going down the hallway his cell phone rang. He nervously picked up. He knew who it was. This would be his first time talking with the killer. "Let me guess. You're the killer and you're here to ask me some question about horror films?"
"You know your stuff, kid. But you're a little off. You know what this is?"
Erik thought for a moment. "A rarity in horror films. It's a trilogy. That rare set of movies. It continues a good franchise after two movies, but knows to stop after that. Three is enough."
The killer laughed. "You got it, kid. You've earned a free pass to round three," the voice said.
"What happened to round two?" Erik nervously asked.
"Round one's done, kid. One less little friend for you to play with. Good luck," the voice sneered before hanging up.
Eustace and Dave were walking down a hallway. Eustace had pulled out his cell phone, which emitted enough light for them to see a little in front of them.
Dave turned to Eustace. "Dude, what is the plan here?"
Eustace turned to Dave. "Don't you have a plan?"
Dave was angry. "You were the one walking in front of me!"
"Hey, I'm not the leader! You play Jimmy, you figure out a plan!"
"Just shut up for a second! Why are we even doing this, running around a hallway, scared out of our wits? All that happened was the power went out!" Dave told him.
"Hey, Jimmy and Cindy think the killer's stalking us. And judging by the power being cut and that creepy phone call Jimmy received, I'd say they're right!"
They both turned around when they heard a creaking sound. "Ah!" they both shouted as the phone rang. Eustace dropped it onto the ground.
They both stared at it. "You answer it," Eustace said.
Dave raised his hands up in the air and took a step back. "It's your phone, dude."
Eustace gulped and picked up the phone. "Um, who is it?"
The killer just laughed. "How you survived the last killings I'll never know. Who is it? Why don't you just leave the group and investigate a strange noise?"
"What do you want?" Eustace angrily asked.
"Just wanted to tell you your precious little Cynthia is in a little danger. But I'm willing to make you a trade."
Eustace tightened his grip on the phone and clenched his teeth at the mention of Cindy. "What do you mean?"
"Grab Neutron, I spare the Vortex girl."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Eustace skeptically asked.
"Either do as I say or you get to see what her insides look like. Toodles."
