CHAPTER 8







GROUP B


After Group B lost the dogs, they immediately sauntered their way to the general direction of the red door.


"Guys! It's locked." Rhea announced as she couldn't open it.


"They always locked it every night," Bobby replied, staring at the door.


"How can we get Marcel and Fandango now?" Toni frowned.


Walter turned to Dream, "Hey Dream, are you sure we can find them here?"


Dream gulped and closes his eyes, surrendering his hands, "Guys, Dream's gonna tell you the absolute truth and it's scary."


"There's a ghost in the basement!" Toni shouted.


"NO THERE'S EVEN WORSE!"


Rhea breaths and glances at Bobby, "Hey Fish, why do you have lots of dogs?"


"I don't even know. I already have them since I was a kid."


"Dogs my ass." Dream rolled his eyes.


"What do you mean?" Walter furrowed his brows.


The Dream was about to tell them when Fabian raised his hands, "HEP! Before that, where's Aliyah?"




GROUP C


"GUYS! CALM DOWN!" Keith yelled, trying to lower the panic of his friends.


Another set of dogs chased Group C, that made Dakota and Raquel separated from them. They are currently hiding in a small vacant room located under the stairs.


"Keith, I'm scared," Mia confessed and Keith embraced her with his warm arms.


"PSH! Get a bed already." Adam looked away and his eyes drifted on Roderick.


"I still can't believe that Cameron's dead." Roderick sighed.


"Are you even sure?" Keith questions for confirmation.


"We saw blood running down from his head," Adam answered for him.


"Who in the world did that?" Mia said.


"It's Kay Lee Ray!" Roderick replied.


"It's Damian Priest!" Adam yelled.


-


"Where the hell is that kid?" Shayna murmured, opening the doors of each room.


"Shayna!!!" A voice boomed through the hallways that made Shayna narrowed her eyes. She saw Kay Lee Ray, shouting, and Damian coming on her way.


"What's with you?" Shayna questioned, observing the sweaty faces of her co-wrestlers.


"WHERE'S CHELSEA?" Damian panted, roaming his eyes everywhere.


"I think we lost her." Kay Lee answered.


"Care to share your business?" Shayna asked, raising her left eyebrow.


"Did you bump into Chelsea?" Damian asked back.


"No. Speaking of that witch, that bitch slapped me."


"Gosh! Chelsea's been acting weird lately. She even chased us, holding that big scary rock!" Kay Lee Ray said, wiping her sweat on her face.


"It looks like she wants to....kill us," Damian added.


A shadow was caught running from the hallway and she turns left. Shayna smirked and immediately moved, chasing her target.


"H-hey! Wait for us!" Scaredy cat Kay Lee Ray and the Archer of infamy started running for their lives and then follows Shayna.


-


Nikki Cross came back, standing next to the big, tall, dark gate of the mansion.


The gates locked. She couldn't come inside, but does she really want to?


Scarlett and Karrion approached the lady as they found her mysterious.


"You put yourselves in danger. You can't do anything but survive. I already warned you but all of you still decided to stay here."


Scarlett looked at Karrion and placed her sight back at Nikki, "Is there anything you want to spill out?"


"Looking back, Mr. and Mrs. Fish (Bobby's great 3x grandparents) hired one family to do all the household chores. One was the driver. One was the cook, and the rest were maids. Little did the Fish family know, they made mistakes. Mistakes that bring the nightmare to our town."


"Mistakes? Enlighten us please." Scarlett formally stated, trying to remain calm, and away from nervousness.


"They hired monsters. But not just cannibals, they are humans that transform into dogs to eat the flesh of their targets."


Scarlett nodded. "Everything's clear to me. Now, I see the reason why the neighbors looked at us that way."


"Why didn't they attacked the Fish family?" Karrion questioned.


"Mr. and Mrs. Fish saved the lives of that family. These monsters have a sense of obligation to Fish Family. That's why they can't touch them." Nikki explained.


"How can we able to survive?" Karrion asked.


"Candles and matches. I could guarantee these dogs can't attack you if you have candles and matches. Remember why they are wearing sunglasses? These creatures are afraid of the light."Nikki was about to step away when she remembered one thing, she faced Karrion and Scarlett, "You can also use that, with the help of gasoline, to stop this terror."
