Hide

"We need to hide in that cupboard!" Angel hissed out. "It's safer!" She remembered there were tons of secret passageways all over the lodge and if they're lucky, they might come across one in the cupboard and get away. She didn't dare voice this thought though; she didn't want to jinx herself.

Seri picked up the bow and quiver and dart inside the cupboard, followed by Anna and Angel, and all of them sat quietly, waiting for any noises.

After a few minutes of silence, Anna leaned over to whisper into Angel's ear, "Since you know more about the killers than us, can you tell us who is the Killer outside?"

"Either Hillbilly or Cannibal," Angel muttered back, her voice low so that only Seri and Ann could hear. "Either one. I'm not sure. Both have a hammer and a chainsaw."

"Any tips fighting against them?" Seri whispered, sounding a bit uncomfortable ("What's wrong?" "I'm sitting on something hard!" Angel coughed awkwardly). "I want to know what to do when we bump into them."

"Sure, let me think…" Angel paused, tapping her finger on her knee. "The chainsaw may be enchanted so that it only hits a person, door, or pallet from the noises I've heard upstairs, do to stun them, try getting them to hit a wall, but be careful with Cannibal, or Leatherface as we call him. Leatherface is a child trapped in a man's body, so if he's stunned, he'll throw a tantrum."

Anna's eyebrows shot up, "Why is that a problem?" She asked, keeping her voice low just in case a Killer was nearby.

"Leatherface is seven feet tall and is strong enough to swing a chainsaw with ease," Angel said with a poker face. "So when he throws a tantrum, and you happen to be under his fists…" She trailed off, letting them understand what she was implying.

They got it immediately. "Ah…"

Angel sighed, "Anyway, Hillbilly is no problem. The longer he sprints, the longer the stun is, so try getting him running as long as possible, then stun him by making him run into a wall."

"Now that's useful," Seri smiled, unknowingly causing Angel to shiver. "If only I can use my superspeed, I can outrun him just fine."

"Yeah…" Angel muttered. "And please don't say 'useful' again, it reminds me of something I'd rather not remember…"

Seri blinked, confused, but decided not to ask seeing how uncomfortable Angel looks. "Alright… what about their speed?"

"Both can walk pretty fast, but both of their speeds are different after activating their chainsaw," Angel answered immediately, having to have explained this to her friends while playing Dead By Daylight. "Activating the chainsaw takes time, you see, and it slows them down until the chainsaw's fully activated. Once the chainsaw is turned on, the Killers are able to down you in one. Hillbilly is extremely fast, but like I said, the longer he sprints, the longer the stun, so just make him crash into a wall ("Snrk!") after a few minutes. Leatherface is a bit slower after turning on the chainsaw, but he can hit multiple targets, which means we might have to be careful with him."

"What else?" Anna asked, starting to grow extremely nervous from the info about the Killers.

"When turning on the chainsaws, it is extremely loud, so you'll be able to locate the Killers easily. At least for Hillbilly 一 Leatherface is a bit quieter. Oh, and get them in cluttered spaces so it's easier to stun them. That's all, for now, 一 I'll think of more later."

"Alright…" Anna said, then paled. "Wait, which Killer is more dangerous?"

Angel grimaced. "I'm… not sure, actually. Hillbilly's extremely fast when he activates his chainsaw, but he can only hit one target. Leatherface is not as fast, but unlike Hillbilly, he can easily down several targets, so it depends on how you see it."

"These two are becoming my least favorite Killers," Seri muttered, her face paling from the thought of meeting the two.

"Believe me, there are much worse." Angel sighed.

Now that she's done giving tips, Angel decided to feel around the cupboard for a possible escape route in case a Killer decided to check in each room and closet. She was feeling her hands on the wall behind Anna when Seri softly spoke up.

"Hey, I think I found an escape route." She whispered.

Seri got their full attention immediately.

"You do?" Anna said in amazement. "How?"

"Remember earlier when I complained I was sitting on something hard?"

Anna blinked. "Yeah. Why?"

"Look!" With great difficulty, Seri moved out of the way and flipped the floor up. "It's a hatch! I think it's a shortcut to the dorms! I can see some of our rooms!"

"The dorms are a five-minute walk to the living room, which is a twenty-minute walk to the Room!" Angel whispered, her silver eyes glittering in the dark. "So if we jump in there and Seri can use her superspeed… We can get there in time and Raven won't die!"

"So what are we waiting for?" Anna eagerly asked. "Come on! Let's jump inside and get to the一"

THUMP!

The trio froze and turned to the cupboard door, which happened to be the cause of the noise.

"This is not good," Seri muttered, her eyes wide with panic. "This is not good at all."

THUMP THUMP!

Angel was quick to run over her options. If they chose to jump down the hatch, the Killer will slow them down if it's Hillbilly, and down them all in one hit if it's Leatherface. But it could be someone harmless, so maybe they should wait and see who it is and then jump down the hatch. But, of course, they would be a stupid move if it wasn't someone harmless so…

Making up her mind, Angel turned to Anna and Seri and hissed out:

"Jump in! Now!"

"Wait and see who it is! Then jump in!"
