New chapter!

In case anyone has happened to have picked up on it, this story will be based on the movie Cabin By The Lake, but don't watch it! I want everything to be a surprise to those who don't know the plotline ;)

Also, someone did point out that this does seem a bit unrealistic, but hey, it's fiction; anything can happen ;)

Enjoy!


"We have to find a way to get out of here," Tori said, for what felt like the millionth time since the clown left.

Jade rolled her eyes, "We know," she snapped, becoming irritated from being stuck in such a small space.

Tori sighed, "I'm just saying!"

"Then lets hear a plan, Vega!"

"You guys!" Cat whimpered, watching them fight from her place in the corner, her knees tucked up against her chest.

Jade sighed and sat down beside her, wrapping her arms around her tightly, "Sorry" she whispered, knowing Cat hated it when she and Tori fought.

They sat in silence as the tension in the small room began to ebb away. Then Tori broke the silence with a gasp, causing the two other girls to look up at her.

"Our phones" was all she said.

Cat and Jade's eyes widened as they began to search for their phones. Tori retrieved hers first, a cry of triumph slipping through her lips as she pulled it from her pocket and unlocking it, hopeful.

But that hope was killed when she looked at her signal bar. None. Absolutely none. There wasn't even the option for an emergency call.

"No signal" she whimpered, staring at it with wide eyes.

"I left mine in the car" Cat said sadly, remembering placing her pink PearPhone on the backseat beside her.

Jade nodded, "Me too,"

Tori sighed, "My battery's almost dead," she said, looking at the battery bar and finding only half a bar left. She threw her phone onto the mattress and sat down beside it, sighing heavily in defeat.

Suddenly, the heavy door to the room swung open and revealed the clown. He was holding three small plates and only one bottle of water. He entered the room and placed them in the middle of the floor. Also tucked under his arm were three small bags, he chucked them onto the floor too.

"I'm going to need to wash your clothes. Please put them in these bags. You can't put clean clothes on a dirty body," was all he said before leaving the room again, locking the door behind him.

Tori, Jade and Cat all looked at each other, confused. Jade reached out and grabbed one of the bags and opened it. Inside was a thin silk robe.

Cat frowned in confusion, "Why did he give us robes?" she asked, reaching for another bag which held the same contents.

Tori shrugged, "I don't know, but I am not taking my clothes off with the possibility of him watching us."

Jade nodded, "Me neither. No chance," she scoffed throwing the bag across the room. She reached out and pulled the three plates of food towards them, handing Cat and Tori theirs before examining her own.

There was a simple cheese sandwich with some salad on the side. And some chips tossed on the side too. Very appetizing... not. But it was all they had, so they had no choice but to eat it.


A short while later, the clown came back into the room. He entered with a smirk on his face, but as he saw them, he frowned.

"Why are you still wearing your clothes? I told you to change," he growled.

The girls stayed silent, refusing to look at him or talk to him. He sighed in anger, "Fine - you want to play it that way? Okay... You!" he yelled, pointing at one of them. They looked to find him pointing at Cat.

Cat whimpered and pointed at herself as if to confirm. The clown smirked and nodded, "Come with me," he sneered. Cat stayed frozen in her spot, too terrified to move. The clown growled and reached out, grabbing her small arm roughly, pulling her up.

Jade stood up immediately, "Hey! Don't you dare touch her!" she yelled, her light blue eyes filled with anger and protectiveness, "Take me instead," she challenged.

Cat squeaked as she looked up at Jade, begging her to stop. The clown released her arm before kneeling down and pulling a screwdriver from his pocket. He began to unscrew Jade's metal cuff from the floor. As soon as it was undone, he grabbed Jade's arm, and pulled her roughly out of the room, the heavy door slamming behind them.

Tori pulled Cat back down onto the floor and hugged her tightly, feeling her shaking from the drama. "Maybe we should change," she suggested, stroking Cat's hair. Cat nodded in agreement.

They quickly undressed to their underwear and pulled the silk robes over their bodies, stuffing their clothes into the small plastic bags and setting them in the middle of the floor.

"I hope Jade's okay," Cat whispered as she curled up in the corner. The silk robe was much too big for her, so it completely covered her lower body, acting like a blanket.

Tori nodded in agreement, unable to say anything in fear of crying.

They sat in silence, both getting lost in their own thoughts. They couldn't hear anything from outside of the room - perhaps that was a good thing? They could only hope.
