Nathan cursed the sun-light streaming through his window before sitting up. As he scratched the back of his neck, the hotel room door was knocked violently.

"Nathan! You up?"

The half-Japanese male could easily tell it was Elizabeta. He also knew something bad must have set her off, which didn't really surprise Nathan with the recent events. "What?" he yelled in reply as he detangled himself the bed sheets.

"Brooklyn said he saw someone running in the lobby, covered in blood. He tried to chase them but lost them. He also said that the figure muttered something about Jemma."

Nathan woke up quickly and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Donning a pair of jean shorts, Nathan pulled the door open to find May-lin and Elizabeta. "Where's Brooklyn now?" Nathan asked.

"In the lobby. He told Lin the figure mentioned Jemma's name. Nath, where is she?" Elizabeta replied, worry seen in her sky-blue eyes. Nathan glanced towards her room then looked back at his friends.

"She's not in her room?" he inquired in a hurry. A surge of panic raced through his system when both females shook their head. May-lin and Elizabeta watched as Nathan raced down the corridor before following.

The lift doors had barely opened when Nathan squeezed through. He could clearly see Brooklyn talking with Kai and Tala. Great! Nathan cursed as he continued to run towards them. I don't need to deal with them right now.

"Nathan, there you are. I'm sorry I can't find the figure." Brooklyn mumbled. Nathan shook his head before looking round. Elizabeta and May-lin stopped behind him. "I can't seem to find Jemma either." Brooklyn added.

"If you're looking for your team captain, I think I heard her singing in the kitchen." Julia explained as she joined the group along with Emily. Nathan turned on his heel and raced down the corridor to the kitchen. He only prayed he wasn't going to find her dead body.

'But if you did, you know it would be your entire fault. You let it happen.' Chaos gloated in the back of his mind but Nathan shooed the dark spirit away. No. Jemma would not be dead. She was a lot stronger then that.

The kitchen was unusually quiet and cold which did nothing to ease the three Dark-water bladers. As the small group joined in the kitchen, they all shivered and scanned the area. "Where is the staff?" Emily questioned.

"Asleep. They live on the floors above our own level." May-lin replied before cupping her hands round her mouth. "Jemma? Come on out! Where the heck are you?" she called. There came a small shuffle from behind one cupboard before a head poked up. "Jemma?" May-lin questioned as the figure stood up. Jemma smiled in relief at her friends before jumping over the cupboard. She wour the same outfit from yesterday only the tank-top was black and two mix-match socks. In her right hand, Jemma held a large wooden rolling pin.

"Guys! Someone tried to kill me." She whispered, latching onto Nathan's arm. She glared at Kai before looking at the others.

"What did they look like? I tried to chase them but I lost sight." Brooklyn responded before Elizabeta told them to hush.

"Can you hear that?" she whispered. The gang listened hard before hearing someone running around. Jemma's grip on Nathan's arm got tighter and she squeaked in fear.

"They're coming back!" she almost yelled. Looking round, Jemma spied the pantry cupboard. "Quickly! To the pantry cupboard!" Jemma exclaimed and dragged Nathan behind her. As the sound of running got closer, the others followed Jemma. Once everyone was inside, Tala shut the door and the group was encased in darkness.

--

"Well this was a fine idea."

"Well sorry! Would you rather be outside with a murderer? I'm sure you'll be able to bargain for your life Hiwatari!"

"I didn't say anything. That was Tala.

"Hey! Don't blame me!"

Emily sighed loudly as the argument got louder. "Guys! Keep it down." She ordered. When the argument stopped, Emily began to think. "Okay. There has to be a light source in here somewhere." She began.

Elizabeta began to search past jars before cheered a little. "Hey Nath. Do you have a lighter on you?" the Scottish girl called over her shoulder. Nathan nodded in the darkness before searching the pockets of his jean shorts. Jemma felt a something waxy being pushed into her hand before she caught onto Elizabeta's idea.

"Lizzy, you're a genius." Jemma giggled as Nathan lit his lighter. The flame hovered over the candle wick before the candle caught fire. The half-Japanese male handed his lighter towards May-lin who lit another candle.

"Is there a way out?" Julia questioned looking round. Nathan shook his head. Kai gave out a loud annoyed sigh and tried to stretch. His hand brushed past something but Kai gave no thought to it.

'Baaaaaaaaaa!'

Jemma gave out a high squeak which blew her candle out. May-lin slapped her forehead and groaned. "Oh no. This isn't going to be pretty." Elizabeta mumbled as she grabbed the candle from Jemma's waving hand. Nathan grabbed his friend by the shoulders.

"Calm down. Jemma, just calm down." He ordered but Jemma was having none of it. Nathan couldn't rightly blame her. He knew how bad her phobia was.

"That was a sh-sh-sh-sheep! How the f-f-f-frick can I calm d-d-d-down!" Jemma snapped before latched onto Nathan's arm again. "I knew it! The sheep are coming! They're gonna eat us all!" she screamed but her voice was muffled as she buried her face into Nathan's chest. The male could do nothing to pry her away.

"You have a fear of….sheep?" Kai asked, a bemused smirk on his face. May-lin roughly pushed Kai out of the way and searched through the shelves. The Chinese female sighed a little when she found an over-turned cup.

"I thought Sean threw this away." She complained, showing the group the cup. Emily hitched her glasses up as she peered at the cup. Pictures of happy flocking sheep were painted on. May-lin sensed the confusion as she placed the cup back. "Jemma's grandmother got it for Jemma, unaware of her phobia of sheep. If you tip it upside down, it starts bleating like a sheep." She explained. Jemma whimpered.

"But still…" Tala paused and grinned at Jemma. "You're scared of Sheep?" he burst out laughing. "Sheep? I can't believe someone like you would be scared of sheep!" The Russian's laughter was cut short something smacked into Tala's nose.

"Keep your trap shut! It's not funny!" Jemma snapped. The whole group was silent. Jemma closed her eyes and tried to calm down. Nathan held her hand tightly.

"You okay?" he asked. Jemma nodded her head.

Then suddenly a loud scream was heard coming from the lobby.
