Evan was frozen in fear. He couldn't move his body, couldn't even yank the foreign hand from his. Ted and Cody have long since grown quiet and the room had gotten cold very quickly. "R-randy?" calls out Cody "i-it's us," he's only returned in silence "Evan?" calls out Ted "you okay?" again there is only silence. Evan can still feel the large cool hand in his, Evan wants to move, Needs to move but he just can't.

"Oh Evan," the cold voice "how I've missed you," Evan body is shaking uncontrollably "don't be scared," it continues to say "you are in such safe hands." Suddenly he feels two hands grip his shoulders "t-this isn't funny Randy," calls out Ted "you didn't do this last time." A chilling laugh fills the hallway "what makes you think this is Randy?" Evan swears he can feel whoever's breath on his neck, god he wishes he could move. "Oh I don't know, you sound like him," the voice laughs again "I sound however you want me to sound," Ted gulped he didn't like that. "Look, we need to speak to John and Randy," Cody calls out "we need them back," the air goes still for a moment "Randy and John you say," the voice muses for a bit "they are not the only ones who live in the darkness." Evan is almost in tears now "I can't believe this shit," he mumbles "just let us talk to John and Randy," Ted yells out. The voice sighs "unfortunately, I can't really do that, they are not here. I could give them a message," The voice chuckles. "No! we need to talk to them now, this is the only time we can be here," Cody isn't answered "where are they," Ted asks "You can go find them yourselves." Evan tries to shake the hands his shoulders "No way man," finally he feels himself return to normal "now, now Evan be nice," the voice sooths "how do we find them?" Cody asks. The voice laughs "you really want to go find them that badly?" Cody tires to look over to Ted "I do, we miss them so much," the voice sighs "very well, Cody smiles slightly "you with me Teddy, Evan?" Ted and Evan don't say anything for moment "I'm always with you

Codes," Ted whispers. Evan frowns "well I am not!" he yells out "I'm going home!" he tries to walk away when the two hands grip his shoulders again "AHH!" the voice huffs out a laugh "you can go with them or stay with me?" Evan eyes widen "hell no, I'll go with them!" The hands are suddenly off of him "keep walking straight to where the darkness ends, there you will find what you need." The air goes still and the coldness stops "well lets get walking you guys," Ted says the blond man reaches out "Evan take my hand," Evan grips it tightly "lets do this."

"That was not funny!"

"yeah it was,"

"did you see poor Evan, you nearly killed him!"

"ha!"

"So not Funny, Randy so not funny."

It feels like hours to Evan, Ted and Cody the darkness just never seems to stop, it has now fully invaded all of their senses. They take long strides, hoping they'll make it to 'the end of the darkness," slowly their eye sight starts to return "hey!" Evan beams "the darkness is slowly fading away." They let go of each others hands as they start to see the dark maroon walls "so where is our answer," calls out Cody "hmm," Ted rolls his eyes "were not completely out of the dark." The hallway begins to feel normal again (almost) there is a large painting hanging on one of the the faded walls "Hey you guys," calls out Evan looking at one of the pictures "look at this." Ted and Cody walk over to Evan "t-that's creepy," the young man says "that looks kinda like us!" The picture they are looking at is slightly large smack dab in the middle of the wall "that's creepy," Cody states "maybe we should keep going," Ted nods his head "yeah." They quickly start to walk away, leaving behind the creepy life like picture of themselves, when they reach the end of the hallway they notice three doors. Each of the door as one of their names on it, The middle has Evan's to his right is Cody and to Evan's left is Ted "should..should we go in?" asks Cody walking up to his door "I guess, it's worth a shot," Ted slightly smiles "on the count of three?"

"1,"

"2,"

"3,"

The doors suddenly fly open and a flash of blinding white light shoots out. The last thing either of the men hear are each others terrified screams.

"so why are you doing this?"

"I did it to you too, Remember?"

"yeah, but I didn't like it,"

"they need to learn,"

"they shouldn't learn like that,"

"life is a terrible fate, John they must learn that,"

"I guess so..."
