Killer Days and Waiting Rooms

Chapter 1: Bullied by a Flash Mob

Crouching low to hide her terrifying aura, Amanda crept through the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, dying to test the resolve of the scared little survivors scattered all throughout. She began to grow impatient as she stalked around for what felt like an eternity, the sounds of a completed generator gracing the air with its presence.

"Damn...they've already completed one," Amanda growled, tip-toeing down the steps to the bottom floor. As she looked around desperately, she suddenly felt a friendly tap on her shoulder. Immediately, she stood back up, swinging blindly at the person who dared to get so close to her.

It was one of the many girls, her face hid by a medical mask and hoodie, all covered with bright neon colors. Immediately giving chase, she found that the survivor was quite nimble on her feet as she dashed around corners like a rabbit being chased by a hound. Turning another corner, she saw the survivor simply standing before her, making a funny face to mock her.

"You're a nuisance that needs to be expunged!" Amanda yelled, immediately dashing towards the survivor. Rearing back and lunging forward, Amanda's wrist blade was only mere feet away from the survivor's neck when a wooden pallet was suddenly dropped on her arm, causing her to unfortunately let out a sort of squeak in surprise.

"Did...did you just squeak? Oh my God you did! That was a squeak!" The survivor began chuckling, Amanda growing furious as she began stomping on the pallet. Just as it was about to splinter, the bright beam of a flashlight immediately shot into her eyes, greatly blinding her so that the survivor could make an escape.

"Gah! My eyes! I'll kill you, you little bitch!" Amanda screamed furiously, her vision returning to normal to find that the survivor was gone, the sound of two more generators being completed sounding out through the factory.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Amanda snarled as she ran at top speed up the stairs, finding Dwight and the runner working on another generator. As her terrifying aura hit their ears, they took off, with Dwight motioning to follow him towards Amanda. Sick of being mocked, she dashed at Dwight, who took to his feet.

Fortunately, Dwight wasn't nearly as nimble as his hooded counterpart, Amanda having only minimal trouble keeping up as she landed a clean slash into his back. He let out a yelp of pain as he sped up, Amanda subconsciously growling as she continued to give chase. As she swiftly cleared a corner, a pallet was suddenly dropped right in front of her, causing her to grunt as she hit it stomach first.

"I'm getting sick of this shit!" Amanda roared with frustration as she stomped on the pallet over and over again as if she was trying to crush someone's skull. The moment it became nothing but splinters, her eyes were again abused with bright light, blinding her once more as she heard the footsteps run away. Shaking her head she turned back around, only to find herself face with another flashlight, it's beam brightly burning her retinas.

"You've got to be kidding me!!!" Amanda shrieked, now filled with murderous hatred and frustration as she tried to swing at the survivor, blindly hitting air as the sound of another generator sprung to life. Amanda managed to track one of the survivors that blinded her only moments ago, following the plethora of red, glowing slash marks that lit the area up like a Christmas tree. Crouching to hide, she snuck up on a generator that was clearing being worked on, roaring like a monster as she dashed around it with inhuman speed. She managed to stab Dwight in the back, causing him to shout out in pain as he dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"I've finally got you!" Amanda sneered, a Jigsaw trap forming in her hand before latching it tightly onto Dwight's head, picking him up immediately to try to find a sacrificial hook. As she spotted one, one of the survivors immediately began disabling it, Amanda sighing heavily as she heard the heavy hook clang against the hard floor. As she turned to find another, she was met with her worst enemy: more flashlights that easily blinded her, allowing Dwight to break free of her grasp.

"Stop that you bastards!" Amanda's voice became shaky with rage as the survivors laughed at her expense, all of them taking off to finish up their tasks. Tears of frustration began to well up in Amanda's eyes as she furiously followed all of the scratch marks she could find, their paths leading her in circles as the final generator sprung to life. In the midst of trying to make it to the exit gate, she discovered her reverse trap laying dead on the ground next to a Jigsaw box, meaning Dwight had freed himself from its clutches.

"This can't be happening…" Amanda groaned, her rage slowly turning to apathy as she moved back to the top floor. Finally making it to one of the gate entrances, she was met with all the survivors staring and laughing at her, all of them clicking on their flashlights as the gate suddenly opened. Amanda began charging blindly at them with her weapon raised, only to trip over a piece of equipment and face plant the ground. Her feets furiously slamming her fist on the ground and sobbing again and again as the survivors escaped into the unknown.

A heavy black fog consumed the area, immediately transporting Amanda into a blinding white void that seemed to go on for an eternity. She spotted Ghost Face and a few of the members of Legion shooting billiards as the Trapper and the Shape were in the midst of an arm wrestling match. Ashamed of her failure, Amanda let her head hit a lone wall that stood in the area with a thud, beginning to headbutt it over and over again. The Huntress, who was in a conversation with the Bag, noticed Amanda's odd behavior and decided to check on her.

"What's wrong little piggie? Did something happen?" The Huntress asked, her sincerity clear which made Amanda stop banging her head into the wall.

"My last trial was awful! Not only was I not able to sacrifice anyone, all the survivors bullied me with flashlights!" Amanda huffed, the Hundreds pulling her into a big warm hug to try and calm her.

"Oof...that's rough. I've had that happen to me before and it was just...bleh," Ghost Face chimed in as the clacking of pool balls echoed behind him.

"I-I used to strike fear in the hearts of the survivors...now I'm just a joke!" Amanda cried, the Huntress gently petting her head as she held her tightly.

"Shh...it's OK little piggie, it's OK...you're plenty scary, you just had a bad trial, that's all…" the Huntress kindly assured her, Amanda hugging the Huntress back as heavy footsteps approached them.

"Who bullied you?! I'll make sure they get what they deserve when I find them!" the Oni growled from behind her intensely, the Huntress finally letting go of Amanda as she gave her a pat on the back.

"Well...I know for sure Dwight and Jake were there, one of them wore a lot of neon colors so that could've been either Nea or Feng. I couldn't make out the last one since I kept getting blinded…" Amanda sniffled as the Oni used his big, clawed hand to give a few pats on the head.

"They're as good as dead when I see them," the Oni assured, putting a slight smile on Amanda's face.

"Thank a lot, you guys are the best," Amanda declared, the Shape and the Trapper looking over to give her a thumbs up.

"Of course, we're stuck here for all eternity so we gotta look out for one another," one of the Legion replied, the other taking a shot behind him.

"Oni...it is time for you to enter the next trial, I repeat, it is the Oni's turn to enter the trials," the Entity announced into a loudspeaker that sat at the corner of their general vicinity, giving himself a few chest pounds and letting out a battle cry.

"This one's for you Pig!" The Oni shouted, grabbing his massive club and heading to a random door that was connected to the disembodied wall.

"Oh man, the way we knocked that Pig down a peg was freakin' priceless!" Dwight chuckled as they found themselves in the Yamaoka Estate realm.

"I thought she was about to cry by the end of it, I almost felt bad about it...ALMOST," Jake chimed in with a laugh as they moved as a unit, all of them hopping on a generator to knock it out quickly.

"Alright, I'll go scout out the killer, keeping working guys," Feng smirked as she raised her hood over her head, running off into the Estate.

10 minutes later…

"Oh God! I'm sorry!" Dwight shouted as a powered up Oni began hunting him down as he ran by his other three teammates who were lying out on the ground, pools of blood growing beneath them as they aimlessly crawled around on the ground.

"THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T SCREW WITH A KILLER'S FRIEND! YOU MADE HER CRY YOU MONSTER!" the Oni roared, finally catching up to Dwight and clocking him ferociously in the back of the head, dropping his body to the ground instantly. The Oni watched with satisfaction as they all cried with pain, agony anguish of bleeding out being a very painful way to go. Crying her eyes out, Feng crawled up to the Oni, tugging on his leg as she coughed up a gob of blood.

"Please spare me, I'm sorry for what I did to the Pig! I won't ever bully her again!" Feng begged and pleaded, the Oni slowly picked her up and put her down on her feet. Shocked by his apparent generosity, she immediately abandoned her friends by running off, all of them groaning with both pain and disgust.

"You...aren't really going to let her go are you…? Jake asked curiously, the Oni gruffly chuckling as he shook his head.

"Of course not, I just wanted to give her hope so I could crush it…" the Onie snarled with a slight smile, immediately following her blood trail. As a few minutes passed, Feng's teammates all succumbed to their bleed outs, quickly becoming garishly stabbed to death by the claws of the Entity. Finally catching up to Feng, the Oni managed to down Feng once again, immediately walking away to seemingly ignore her.

"I don't understand! What do you want from me!" Feng coughed and choked as she continued to crawl, the sudden wind tunnel sound if the hatch quickly approaching her as she crawled for dear life.

"I-I'm going to actually make it!" Feng cried out, crawling as fast as she could as the hatch came into her sights. Her eyes stayed hyper focused on her goal, her full determination pushing closer and closer until she was able to slide one hand into the dark, desolate hole.

Kachunk! The hatch suddenly slammed down on her wrist and the Oni stomped it shut, her wrist snapping as she lost her hand to the great beyond.

"AH! MY HAND! MY HAND! Feng shrieked for dear life as the Oni watched and took in her suffering with great glee and satisfaction.

"That's precious...you actually thought I was showing you mercy…" the Oni chuckled gruffly as he watched Feng bleed out, the Entity's tendrils stabbing her over and over again viciously until finally drag her into the depths of oblivion.
