Chapter 7: The End

Ryan, Gabriella, and Kira walked into the tower. It was dark, but light enough for them to see. The room looked like a torture chamber. Gabriella felt a chill up her spine.
"Ok. If I was a crazy lunatic, where would I put my body?" Ryan said to himself.
"In the bed." Kira said.
Ryan looked at her. "Huh"
"Well I'd put my body in the bed." Kira shrugged.
Ryan walked into the room. Kira and Gabriella followed after a minute.
"Wonder where she is now." Kira said.
"Hopefully she ran away." Gabriella said.
"Usually Casey would've made a sarcastic remark about that." Ryan said. He walked in a door with a staircase. "Hey over here"
Kira walked over to him. "What"
"This might lead to her...where's Gabi?" Ryan asked.
"Right here." Gabriella said, walking over.
"These stairs might lead to Bathory." Ryan said.
"Let's go then." Kira said, walking up the stairs. Ryan followed.

Gabriella started to follow them but stopped when she felt a pain in her heart. Ryan walked back to her. "Gabriella, you ok"
She shook her head. "No"
"What's wrong"
"Troy..."
"What about Troy?" Ryan asked, dumbfounded.
"He's gone. I know he is." Gabriella said, hanging her head.

The door in-between them slammed shut. Ryan tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. He looked from the door to the stairs and ran up them. Kira looked back at him. "Where've you been"
"The door closed and I can't get it open. Gabriella's stuck in there." Ryan said.
"Well get her out after we kill Bathory." Kira said.
They walked up the rest of the stairs and entered a medium sized room. There was a bed and in it was Bathory.

Gabriella tried opening it but it wouldn't budge.
She groaned in exasperation and sat leaned against the door. She slid down it. Bathory appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her by the hair. Gabriella cried out in pain and tried to shake her off, but Bathory just tightened her grip.
"Let me go!" Gabriella exclaimed, scratching Bathory's arm with her fingernails. Bathory let go of her hair and Gabriella tried to make a run for it but Bathory jumped on her back and bit down on Gabriella's neck. Bathory pulled back and ripped the flesh off Gabriella's neck and stood up. Gabriella shrieked and put a hand to her bleeding neck. "If you're gonna fucking kill me then go ahead and fucking do it."
Bathory picked up the shears and Gabriella immediately regretted her words. She took a step back and tripped over a crack in the floor. Bathory was on her in a second and sliced Gabriella's cheek. She dragged the shears across her forehead and her other cheek, leaving long red lines. Gabriella winced and made the shears go deeper into her cheek. Bathory looked at the shears then back to Gabriella and drove them into her skin, right beside her collarbone. Gabriella let out an ear-piercing scream. Slowly her eyes closed and her head dropped to the side.

Ryan turned around sharply after hearing a scream. "Gabriella"
"I'm sorry Ryan." Kira said.
Ryan shook his head. "Let's just do this ok"
Kira nodded.
Ryan got the nailgun from his pocket and walked to the bed. He put the gun to Bathory's forehead. Kira stood nearby watching, lighter in her hand. Ryan squeezed and the nail pierced Bathory's skin. He moved it to her neck and squeezed. Once the nail was in her neck he moved to her chest and fired. Ryan and Kira stepped back.

"Ready?" Kira asked.
"Yeah." Ryan said.
Suddenly Bathory got up. The nails slowly spun and feel outta her body. They stepped back again.
"Oh fuck." Ryan muttered.
"I need somethin to light on fire!" Kira cried. Ryan pulled off his hat and handed it to her. "Here! Light it"
Kira light the hat and tossed it at Bathory. She burst into flames and started running around.
"Let's get outta here!" Ryan rushed to the door. Kira started following but Bathory grabbed her shoulder. The flames spread onto her.
"AHH"
Ryan turned back. "Kira"
"Just go Ryan"
"No"
"GO!" Kira screamed.
Ryan ran down the stairs. He tripped over his own feet and rolled down the last few steps and crashed into the door, causing it to break. He groaned and got up. He ran to the door and held back tears when he saw Gabriella's body. He rushed out of the tower. He kept running and slowed to a stop when he saw Troy. He had been stabbed in the side.

Ryan knelt down and poked him. "Troy"
Troy's eyes opened slowly. "Ryan? What happened? Where's Gabriella"
"Bathory's dead"
Troy gripped his side. "Where's Gabriella and Kira"
Ryan bite his lip. "Their both dead. Everyone's dead. C'mon let's get u to a hospital"
Troy stood up and let the tears flow. They walked out of the gate. Behind them the smoke was filling the air, coming out of the bedroom window.
