Chapter 5: All Hell Breaks Loose
The lights then returned on. I looked around me. I counted 8 people in this room. But last there were 9 people.
I looked around the room. I saw the missing person. Or at least what was left of the person. A bloody skeleton lay on the floor.
"What the hell?" said Kaitlyn, "What is going on?"
"I don't like this," said the guard, "We got to get out, now."
"Actually," said Alma reappearing, "I won't let you."
"You!" said the leader, "How was I not able to sense you here?"
"A new power," said Alma, "I been working it for the last, I lost count was it 5 years?"
"Enough joking," said the leader, "Let us out of here!"
"No chance," said Alma, "I haven't had any good fun in a long time. I think I'll finish each one of you off one by one. This time, no one will escape."
"I escaped lasted time," said the leader.
"Me too," said Norton Mapes.
"Well," said Alma, "I under estimated my son and I let my guard down on stopping you from escaping, Norton."
"We will escape," I said.
"You still have a chance," said Alma, "I'll let you go."
"Why him?" said Jennifer.
"It's for my own little reasons," said Alma, "Not yours bitch."
Then she vanished into thin air. Everyone looked around to see if she was like behind them. But there was no sight of her in the room. But they knew she was still here. Waiting in the darkness for them. To find them. To hunt them. To kill them.
But there was one question left on their minds. Who was she going after next? Who was it?
"We got to escape," said the business man.
"Are you deaf?" said Rich, "She's going to kill us off, one by one by burning us to a crisp!"
"He got a point there," said Norton Mapes, "We're dead."
"Don't give up hope!" I said, "We can escape!"
All of the sudden, the lights went out again. I then heard a soft whisper in the darkness, "Marco."
"Huh," said the leader, "Polo?"
"Moron," I muttered.
"FOUND YOU!" shouted Alma in a hoarse voice. Then all of a sudden a huge fire ball lit up the room and it went at the leader.
"Run!" said the leader getting out the way. The fire ball missed him easily.
"You got a lousy aim!" said the leader, "Guess all the waiting made you suck at aiming."
"You're making me angry!" said Alma in a demon voice, "You won't like me when I'm angry."
"I hear that phrase from my wife everything we start to argue," said the guard.
Alma started to make more fireballs, but before she could send one off at someone, everyone had left the room fast.
"This is nuts!" said Kaitlyn.
"Nah," said the leader, "You think this is dangerous? You should see her when see has her nightmare creatures out, that more dangerous."
"If I survive this," I said, "I quit!"
"That's what everyone said after one mission," said Rich.
"Enough talk!" said Norton, "The exit is this way!"
Norton turned around the corner, at the end of the hallway there was an exit sign.
"Finally!" I thought, "We can finally get out."
Then all of a sudden my vision started to get fuzzy. Then everything started to slow down. I looked around. I saw Alma's shadow coming our way.
Then she appeared in front of us. She sent another fireball at us. All of us but one was lucky to avoid it. The fire ball hit one of the employees and burned her to nothingness.
"This is hell!" said Rich running into one of the side doors.
"No!" shouted the leader, "Don't split off by yourselves!" But everyone left.
I ran to into an in office room. It was empty, but for how long? One of the doors blew up and a huge wave of wind knocked me off my feet.
I looked up, Alma was walking towards me. I reached for my gun, but when I grabbed it, it was now crushed into a ball.
"Neat trick?" said Alma smiling evilly.
The guard and Jennifer ran into the kitchen. The whole room was empty expect for pots and dishes.
"It seems like a good place to hid," said the guard.
Jennifer nodded and looked around. There was a lot of blood. It was the chefs' blood all on the wall and floor.
"This is creepy," said Jennifer, "Right?" When she turned to the guard. He was gone.
Meanwhile, Kaitlyn and the business man are running down a catwalk on the far side of the building far from where they last saw Alma.
"Think we lost her?" said the man.
"I think so," said Kaitlyn.
"You are so wrong," said a voice.
Both of them turned towards the voice. A fireball flew straight at them. Both of them mange to dodge it, but the fireball it one of the sporting chains, collapsing the walkway.
Kaitlyn grabbed onto one of the sides, but the man wasn't so lucky. He missed grabbing the rail and flew to floor 2 stories below him and killing him.
Kaitlyn screamed in horror, but she pulled herself up onto the still intact part of the walkway and ran for the door on the other side.
The leader and Norton Mapes are still in the same spot as before. A huge fire like tornado surrounds them, blocking there only escape.
"This is hell!" said Norton.
I was still in front of Alma as she walked slowly towards me. I reached for a weapon, any weapon. Then I grabbed something. It was a nail gun. First off, what was that doing in here? But ignore that thought fired at Alma with it.
First nail got her in the arm, then in the leg, and in the neck. The last shot went into her head. She howled in pain at the agony. I used this time to escape past her.
I ran into the hallway, Jennifer, Rich, and Kaitlyn were in the hallway. They were staring at a huge tornado fire blocking the way. I looked around for something to use to put it out. I saw a fire alarm and fire extinguisher.
I turned on the fire alarm which set off a bunch of sprinkler systems making the fire die down a bit. Then I used the extinguisher to put out the rest of the flames.
The leader and Norton were inside it. They looked steamed, but they'll be ok.
"We're almost out!" said Norton pointing to the exit up ahead.
We ran towards the door. After all that has happened. We were about to escape this crazy nightmare. We burst through the doors and into the sunlight.
