Lotte couldn't find her way around the mansion, she was desperately trying to find an exit so she wouldn't be sliced and diced. She walked up to a nearby door at the end of a dark hall and opened it. The room was pitch black. Lotte couldn't even see right in front of her nose.
She reached in to flip on the light switch. The lights flickered once and then came on. She was in a bedroom that had two beds separated by a nightstand. To her right was a desk with a birdcage on it and in front of her was a makeup table with a mirror attached. On the makeup table was a picture. Lotte walked over and picked up the picture, though it was hard to see what it was because the glass was shattered. She then heard footsteps out in the hall.
"Oh man," she whispered, "did he find me?"
She crawled down onto the floor and slid herself under the bed. She looked out from under the bed as the opened slowly. Her heartbeat started getting faster and faster making it harder for her to breathe as her adrenaline pumped through her veins at an alarming rate. She then saw feet entering the room and running towards the other door, Jennifer. Lotte slid out from under the bed, right in front of Jennifer.
"Jennifer," Lotte said, "I've been looking for you."
"There's no time to talk," Jennifer was frantic.
"What's wrong?" Lotte asked.
"He's coming!"
The girls looked at the door and saw the knob turning. They panicked and headed for the other door. As they closed the door behind them, they heard the other door open. They listened through the door and heard the opening and closing of scissors.
"We have to get out of her," Jennifer said. "He killed Ann."
"Ann's dead!?" Lotte had fear stretch across her face.
"If we don't get out of here," Jennifer started, "we'll be dead ourselves."
The sound of the scissors got closer to the door.
"We have to go," Lotte said. "I found a key, and now I can get it. It's in the kitchen."
"Right," Jennifer agreed. "To the kitchen then."
The two of them ran to the door and exited into the hallway. They then ran past an open door to the room where Scissorman was. They ran into a hall with a staircase, where Ann had been killed. Her body had vanished, but the floor was still soaked in blood. Jennifer had stopped.
"C'mon," Lotte yelled. "We can't stay here!"
She grabbed Jennifer's arm and they started to run passed the stairs to the door on the other side. They were heading into the door closest to the wall, until they heard a phone ring.
"A phone," Jennifer yelled. "We might be able to get help."
Jennifer ran away from Lotte through the other door.
"Jennifer!" Lotte yelled.
She then ran after Jennifer into the room with the phone. In that room they saw a bookshelf, two couched, a coffee table, a suit of armor, and a phone table. Jennifer ran over to the phone and picked it up.
"Help us," she yelled into the phone.
"No one is going to help you," a woman said on the other line.
Jennifer hung up the phone and picked it up again. She heard a dial tone and started dialing 9-1-1.
"Who was that?" Lotte asked.
"I don't know," Jennifer responded. "I think it was Ms. Mary."
"Why did you hang up?" Lotte asked.
"I think she is trying to...," Jennifer said.
"9-1-1, what is your emergen..." the line was cut off.
"Hello," Jennifer said. "Hello! The line's dead."
Meanwhile, Laura was walking around the corridors of the old clock tower. She entered a room; inside the room were a toy chest and a bed. There was also a desk up against the far wall, and sitting on the toy chest was a toy clown. Over at the other side of the room was another door. Something was shining on the desk from the light of the moon. Laura walked over to the desk to get a closer look at the shining object; it was a key. As soon as she picked up the key, she heard the doors lock. She ran over to the door and tried opening it.
"What the hell?" she yelled.
Just then, the clown floated up in the air and flew towards Laura. She jumped onto the floor out of the way. The clown was laughing and mocking her. She got up off the floor and over to the other door. It was locked as well. She saw a long pole leaning up against the bed. She grabbed it, ready to fight the clown.
"Alright!" she yelled. "Come on you bastard!"
The clown flew at her and she swung the pole smashing the clown's porcelain head to pieces. The cloth body fell it the floor with one final laugh. She heard the doors unlock and she walked to the one she didn't go through. She was now in a room with a desk in front of a giant window. A fireplace sat next to the desk and a bookcase was next to the door she was entering.
She walked over to the window and looked out it. The only view she saw was the courtyard, a pool and the shack with Simon Barrows in it.
"There you are," a woman said from behind her.
Laura turned around and saw silhouette standing in the doorway. The person walked towards her, the light revealed that it was Ms. Mary.
"I've been looking everywhere for you," Ms. Mary said.
"Get away from me!" Laura yelled.
"I'm here to help," Ms. Mary said.
She walked towards Laura with her hands behind her back.
"I need you to trust me," Ms. Mary said. "That way we can all get out of here."
"What do you mean?" Laura asked. "How can I trust you when you locked your husband in a cage?"
"We all must make sacrifices," Ms. Mary said getting closer to Laura.
"Don't come any closer," Laura commanded.
Ms. Mary moved closer revealing a knife she had hidden behind her back. "Your time is up."
Just then there was an explosion sending both of them to the ground. Ms. Mary stood up, staring at Laura.
"Be a good girl," Ms. Mary started, "and die."
Jennifer and Lotte entered the kitchen, the lights were on and the smell of death was worse.
"It's in the refrigerator," Lotte said as she walked towards it.
She grabbed the handle as she took out the insecticide. She slowly opened the refrigerator door, and light poured in. She heard the bugs swarming out to get her, so she shot all around inside the refrigerator killing all the bugs.
"Did you get it?" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah," Lotte said reaching for the key.
Lotte pulled the key out of the refrigerator and closed the door. They looked at the key; it looked like a car key.
"This might fit the car in the garage," Lotte said.
The two girls exited the kitchen and entered the door at the end of the hall, the garage. Lotte got in the driver's side, Jennifer got in the passenger's side. Lotte inserted the key and turned, the car started.
"Now we can get out of here," Lotte exclaimed.
"Wait," Jennifer said. "What about Laura?"
The two had puzzled looks on their faces, but if they went back, they'd probably die.
"We can't go back," Lotte said.
She turned the headlights on and stepped on the gas pedal. The car smashed through the wooden garage door out into the night. Though the night was far from over. Out from the corner jumped Scissorman, who then impaled the hood of the car with his scissors. The car started leaking and fire sprung up from the engine.
"C'mon," Lotte yelled.
Lotte pushed Jennifer out of the car and she got out of the car as well. The two of them ran back towards the door to the house. The car exploded sending both of them flying into the wall. Scissorman was also tossed away by the explosion.
Jennifer looked up at the flames. "We need to find another way out of here."
"There is no other way," Lotte said. "We are going to die."
The two stood up and went back to the room with the staircase. Under the staircase was a door.
"Let's go that way," Lotte said.
Jennifer nodded her head and they went through the door. As they walked down the hall, they heard a scream from outside. Jennifer looked out the window and saw Laura falling from a second story window that had shattered. She splashed into the pool and the water started turning crimson.
"Laura!" Jennifer yelled. "We need to get outside."
"There's a door," Lotte pointed. "It looks like it leads out there."
The two ran to the door and pushed it, but the door didn't seem to want to open. Jennifer looked out the window and saw Scissorman moving closer to the pool and Laura swam to get out with a hole in her side.
"Push harder!" Jennifer yelled.
"I'm trying!" Lotte yelled back.
The two lunged at the door simultaneous, knocking the door down. Lotte grabbed a pole lying on the ground and ran towards Scissorman. Jennifer ran to help Laura out of the pool.
"C'mon, you fuck," Lotte yelled.
She started beating Scissorman with the pole. Jennifer helped Laura out of the pool, and they started running towards the shack.
"Lotte," Jennifer yelled. "Come on!"
They entered the shack and pushed a crate in front of the door.
"You're back," the man in the cell said. "Where's your other friend?"
Jennifer looked at the man. "Who are you?"
"He's Simon Barrows," Laura stated.
"Does that mean you're Ms. Mary's husband?" Lotte asked.
"Yes," Simon responded.
"Since you live here," Jennifer started.
"You might know a way to get out," Lotte interrupted.
"You might be able to get out through the caves," Simon said. "They are below this clock tower, though getting to them can be tricky. If I help you get to the caves, can you get me out of here?"
"We can do that," Lotte answered. "Where can we find a key?"
"Mary should have a key," Simon answered.
"How will we get it from Ms. Mary?" Jennifer asked.
