1Chapter 7
The Pitch Black Hall
TheWhitePrincess:
Miss Scarlet skidded to a quick stop as the lights went out again.
"What the heck is wrong with this place?" She screamed back at Mr. Boddy. "Don't you ever check the circuits? How old is this heap of rotting garbage?"
As Miss Scarlet fumed at Mr. Boddy who, she assumed, was walking closer and closer to her, he reached out and grabbed her around the waist.
"NOW JUST A . . ." Miss Scarlet's voice was abruptly cut off by a firm hand placed against her perfectly rounded red lips.
The man, who smelled oddly of fresh meat, whispered to her, "Be quiet and I might let you out of this mansion alive."
His breath heated her ear and sent fearful shivers down her spine; she shook her head in the affirmative. What else could she do?
They inched their way along the pitch-black hallway while Colonel Mustard called to Miss Scarlet quietly.
'Run for me you fool!' Her mind screamed to the colonel, 'RUN!'
Suddenly she was shoved into a door that Miss Scarlet could have sworn was not there only a moment before. The door was closed on her and a cloth was pressed over her nose causing her to inhale a bitter scent. Slowly, her struggle against the silent attacker stopped, but not before she remembered the murdered fiancée of Mr. Boddy. Stabbed by a butcher knife, blood pouring from her lifeless body.
Miss Scarlet's last thought before she faded into a dreamless slumber was, 'It's him!'
