Felix was only able to turn fully around, about to reach out by the time the suitor's hand yanked the slim brunette backwards from the circle of light. Within the span of even being able to call out or even reason with what was happening, Piggeh was gone as well chasing after the creature.

Stephano grabbed his wrist keeping him within the light.

He struggled, but the look on his face stopped Felix. "They… Stephano, they can't-"

"This way," the golden man said without listening to the Swed; dragging him to a door just to their left and pushing him inside. "Don't let the lantern go out." And then the door was shut leaving the blonde by himself. Nothing but the puddle of light to keep harm just in the shadows.

Outside the door was several sounds; cracks, screams, crashes… Finally it fell quiet for a moment before the door was kicked open and Piggeh rushed in with Mr. Chair and quickly followed by Stephano.

"Mr. Chair!" Felix got to his side. "Are you okay?"

The brunette's face held a strange expression. Not one of shock, but a blank expression of normality. It was like he hadn't been phased by this at all.

"Mr.… Mr. Chair?"

Hollow eyes slowly gained back the faint light they harbored before. "I am okay…" came the soulless answer. "I'm okay," he repeated sounding more like himself.

"You sure?" Felix pat his shoulder receiving a glare from Piggeh.

"Y-yeah. I'm okay."

"How'd the Suitor find us so quickly?" Felix turned to Stephano who was listening intently to the door. "Steph, I thought you said the monsters were in that one other area?"

The gold man put up a hand, telling him to be quiet, before he moved away from the door. "There is only one Bro, but there are multiples of the other monsters."

Now that didn't sound right. In Amnesia there were so many of the Bro. It seemed more likely to be the other way around.

"This isn't a game," Stephano then snapped, again almost like he were reading the other's mind. "The Bro is the smartest of the monsters. It is the one who will search for you when you vanish. The other two give up once you're out of sight, but they are stronger."

Piggeh grunted in agreement.

Felix sighed. He wanted to apologize, but figured his 'I'm sorry's were getting annoying.

The four sat in the room letting their sanity charge back up. Once Mr. Chair had stopped shaking only then they decided to set off again. He hadn't been hurt in the ordeal luckily but even so Piggeh had a protective arm around the smaller male. Stephano was much much more cautious now, having them stop near every door in case they may need to hide. Felix just tried his best to stay in the middle to give them all equal share of the bubble of illuminessence.

Further on they went when Stephano stopped the group suddenly. There was no door beside them. Felix felt a cold stone drop in his stomach. "Stephano…?"

"I saw something move," came the reply.

There was no sound around them.

Stephano tensed, eyes moving from one side of the hall to the other.

Still no sound.

This thing Stephano was watching darted from left to right and back again silently. The Swed was scared to ask what it could be. Really, he wanted nothing better than to run away from the invisible enemy.

When the figure ran again, it stopped and this time Felix could see it. A human figure. Nothing out of proportion or anything extra protruding from the silhouette. It seemed to be staring in their direction, but all that gave that away was the chill sense of its vision on them. The stance it took was a relaxed one, stopped mid stride and almost lazy looking with both feet on the ground and body leaned backwards; head tilted.

It straightened up then and started toward them. A hand raised and pulled something off of its head – a hood or a hat, it was unclear.

As it grew closer, Stephano seemed to relax more and a smile found his features. "Thought we'd never see you again."

The figure finally reached the light. Skin and hair a milky white with dark bags under his eyes that contrasted so much that it looked like makeup or dirt, irises and pupils solid white and sclera black and even some dark shadows on his shallow cheeks showing how thin he was under the thick black jacket and baggy jeans. He said nothing to Stephano as his eyes moved slowly from the lantern up to Felix's face. A sudden snide smile showed his teeth as he bent over to get a better look at the Swedish man. He was a good foot and a half taller than Felix so the sudden closeness of his face had him step back.

"Look who decided to show his ugly face. 'Sa matter? Not been playing enough scary games lately?" He stood back to his full height, arms crossed.

The faint French accent had the blonde remember the character. "Skully?"

The taller man side glanced at him, raising his arms and slowly clapping for him. "You remembered my name. And how long as it been since you last mentioned me? Looked at a decayed head clean of flesh and said hello? Heh! Can't remember a set of number and yet you stashed that name of mine somewhere in there? I don't know if I should be honored or if that makes me less complex than a code to a candy store."

Behind him, Mr. Chair flinched. Obviously he was feeling something the same as Skully.

"He's already apologized for all of that," Stephano pointed out. "We're leading him to the exit and going with him."

Skully's attention was then on the statue. "Oh really? Didn't Jen tell you?" His smile grew more sinister. "The front door was blocked off. She fucked up and was chased by some monster – I forget which one – and the roof caved in blocking the door. Only way out now is the basement hatch. Dark and dank place actually. Lost my best pair of shoes down there. Pitty. Stole a pair from one of the bedrooms." He glanced down at his feet. "They were red, but now they're dirty."

The golden man sighed loudly.

"Told you ya should have stuck with me. I know this place like the back of my hand – except my left. I lost it and it grew back. Even I don't understand." His pupil-less eyes glanced back toward Felix. "As far as I'm concerned, you're fucked."

"You do know you can come with us." Mr. Chair's soft voice almost made Felix yelp. He hadn't expected the man to speak up. "Felix said we can go with him." Of course that had already been mentioned before.

Skully laughed a little too loud. "Like I want to go up there. I'm perfectly fine running around down here where I don't need food or water to survive. I'd sooner cut off my own head again and wait for a new body to grow than go anywhere with him." At that last part, he gave Felix a firm shove. "You shits can find the exit yourself and I'll be here… laughing at you… watching your poor little 'hero' waste away."

Waste away?

Felix looked to Stephano whose face was that of shock. He didn't want to ask, but he did want to know what Skully meant. And yet again, as if reading his mind, the answer came.

"Starting to feel hungry at all, PewDie?" Then the pale man laughed out again, pulling his hood up and disappeared into the hallway.

They continued in quiet. No one talked. All that broke the silence was the occasional growl of Felix's stomach. He hadn't realized how hungry and thirsty he was. People could only go so long without one or the other, and even shorter without both. If they couldn't find the exit within a few days then he really was fucked. He could easily go a week without both, but near the end of that week Felix probably wouldn't be able to run much let alone walk on his own.

Down here, Felix was still human. There was no denying that. He needed food and water and even sleep. From what he heard from their group, they hadn't done much of any of those things lately.

"If it comes down to it," Stephano said suddenly, "we could start a fire and cook one of the dead bodies lying around."

The thought alone made him sick. Still, it was a last resort. Felix knew he'd need food and if he needed it badly enough he'd eat almost anything.

Piggeh laughed and the start of a word came out, but he stopped and was quiet again. Looking back, the pink haired man had a smile on which vanished and he looked away into the dark.

It felt like forever as they trudged further into the castle. They kept walking and stopping and turning a corner here and there before Stephano stopped them once more and pointed to a door. "Let's rest up for a bit."

Hiding his relief, Felix said, "Can't we walk a bit further?"

"We can, but you're tired. In the last ten minutes you've slowed down."

It was true. He was exhausted. All of the running, the fear, and just everything else. It was beginning to catch up to him. He slumped over. It made him feel like the weak link among them. Actually, it had him realize that he truly was.

He stepped into the room and immediately lay down on the bed. The sheets were so soft, so welcoming. Someone pulled the sheets up over him and Felix was asleep.
