"And there are six of us."

Chapter 3... What's in A Portrait?...
"One of us will have to stay in the master bedroom." decided Robyn.
"If this was a five-star hotel, I would be in there in a second." said Seth. "But it's not. I vote 'not me.'"
"Figures." said Erikah. "I'll go... it can't be that bad, right."
"Yeah, and it's only a few doors down," said Robyn, "I'm sure you'll be fine."
"Who knows? Maybe it'll be fun!" Erikah reassured herself.
"Careful of the painting, Erikah." said Seth. "Woooooh!"
"Shut up, Seth." said Max, "You weren't even manly enough to offer yourself."
Seth quickly shut his mouth. The group said goodnight to Erikah and then headed off in the direction of the guest rooms.
In the guest room, they found a small closet filled with sheets. They were old and musty, but usable. Robyn and Hikari spread out the sheets on the floor, while the boys watched.
"You know, it is possible for you guys to help once in a while." said Robyn.
"No, thanks." said Seth, "It's not my thing." Robyn just rolled her eyes.
"I'll help." said Max, slipping off the side of the bed and kneeling on the ground next to the girls.
"Me, too." said Kakashi, doing the same.
Once all the sheets were spread out the group picked beds. It was decided, with much distress from Seth, that the two girls could take the beds and the boys take the floor.
Seth fell asleep as soon as his head hid the pillow, and soon after, Kakashi and Robyn drifted off to sleep as well, leaving Hikari and Max awake.
"Do you think Erikah will be alright?" asked Hikari, worriedly.
"Yeah, she's a tough girl." said Max. "I don't think we'll have to worry."
"Why is Seth always so rude to her?" Hikari wondered aloud.
"Because he likes her." said Max, "It may not seem like it, but if anything was to happen to her, he would be the first at her side."
Hikari looked surprised. "So he shows his affection for her by pushing her away?" she asked.
"Some people are like that, I guess." said Max.
"Do you think she knows?" asked Hikari,shifting around to get more comfortable.
"I don't know... I don't think so, she's never said anything about it."

As Erikah settled down into the huge bed, she wondered what time it was. The angle of the moonlight seeping in through the cracked window told her it was about 10:30.
She sighed, wishing she'd never volunteered to take the room. It was old and dirty, and it creaked a lot. Plus, the crack in the window let the rain in, so among the pitter-patter of the rain on the glass, she could hear a rhythmic yet monotonous tapping on the wooden window-sill.
She glanced at the majestic yet eerie portrait of the girl. She looked young, and though she had pretty features, her eyes were ugly. They were dull, and showed no emotion whatsoever.
Erikah shivered and looked away. The portrait gave her a strange sense of dread. As if it were someone watching her every move.
She turned sideways in her bed and tried to sleep. Finally after what seemed like hours, the dripping of the rain lulled her into a dreamless sleep.
She was woken ten minutes later by a particularly ground-rattling roll of thunder. As she sat up, she noticed two curious red pinpricks of light on the end of her bed. She turned to look at their source and was horrified by what she saw.
The girls face in the picture had distorted to a look of pure evil. Her eyes glowed red and her mouth had curled into what seemed like and eternal black hole, beckoning Erikah to her imminent doom. Her hands, which had once before been folded on her lap, were grasping on to the portraits frame, and it seemed as though she was pulling herself out of the picture.
Thick, dark blood began seeping out of the girls red eyes. Erikah tumbled out of the bed, her face contorting into a look of shock. She tried to scramble up, but found her legs tangled in the bedsheets. The girl had now pulled her self completely out of the frame that had once held her. Her pretty, blue dress was now in shreds, and dragged along the floor as she approached the bed she reached out her decrepit hand towards Erikah.
The girl uttered a single sentence to Erikah and a scratchy, hollow voice... "Will you play with me?"
Erikah let out a single, long, blood-curdling scream.

Max and Hikari jumped up at the sound of the scream, and the other three were startled awake.
"Was that-" started Max.
"Erikah!" cried Seth.
