(just wait a few seconds before starting it)
Seth's pov:
my body was numb and my mind and head hurt, thoughts going everywhere with this noise!
she said it would be fun to add 'something' and that's how I ended up seeing her face as she blindfolded me and gagged me saying it was for 'surprise for some people'.
(yeah I know the image is stupid)
Melanie's pov:
we were climbing the stairs to the 7th level, we had actually took half a nap to get a bit of strength back because even if it seems we are going on fast it was most likely slower than we thought.
we suddenly heard singing coming through speaker from the upper level that was not meant for us but we still heard it.
(start music now)
Lurking in the shady streets, hazy
Wandering all on your own, crazy
Thought you were the monster here, how sad
Time to learn your place you're only just a lad
Cast a thousand sins and one, have you?
Common boogeyman you are, it's true
Let's see if you're all just bark, no bite
Cowards like you always turn tail and take flight
Why the good die and the cruel live
Injustice I cannot forgive
Don't play God you're no deity
Who pray tell will try to stop me?
Cut them down and make them holy
Forgiven on this ground solely
Bear no arms, I'll rip those from you
As a corpse no more harm you'll do
we looked at each other, this song too had a meaning behind it like the ones Seth sang.
Some say that my work is wrong, wicked
But their train of thought is flawed, afflicted
For if they're to die tonight, poor taste
Might as well preserve their vitals, what a waste
Don't look at me with those eyes, you've got
no one else to blame for your demise
Think you'll catch my mercy now, really?
After all your crimes, beyond a doubt guilty
Redemption redistribution
Sacrifice the institution
Your lifeblood beseech the other
Even you can save another
Cut them down and make them holy
Forgiven on these grounds solely
Bear no arms, I'll rip those from you
As a corpse no more harm you'll do
Now, say goodbye
Feel no shame as you die, know that
At last you give back, may
judgment pass you by
Cut them down and make them holy
Forgiven on these grounds solely
Bear no arms, I'll rip those from you
As a corpse no more harm you'll do
Cut them down and make them holy
Forgiven on these grounds solely
Bear no arms, I'll rip those from you
As a corpse no more harm you'll do
Now, say goodbye
Feel no shame as you die
and then we started hearing muffled screams as we got to the top.
"did you enjoy my singing? I'm really good right? this is the last one you will hear in your life.... hello girls"
we were in a room with only the next stairway door.
"this circle has no punishment for you as you are not violent in the eyes of god! but you'll have either the choice to help out this criminal or go on right now" the door opened and Stacy wanted to go but I grabbed her arm.
"wait...... you asshole you said this was Seth's floor! where is she?!"
"a criminal like her should be sentenced to death, are you sure you'd wish for such wretched creature to see the surface again?"
"of course I would! we made a deal and even if she is as you say she is still a human being!"
"very well" the door closed and a part of the wall next to it opened. "answer my riddles and I'll let you and her go"
the was to our left rose.
"Seth!" I ran to the glass and put my hand against it. "what are you doing?!"
"she can't hear you and she's living down her punishment but don't try to break the one-way mirror or I'll end her life right away" I glared at the camera in the room and picked up the black pen with the white board, ignoring the muffled screams coming from our killer friend.
"answer my riddles and she's be free to go with you but I will keep this up as long as you answer wrong and I can kill her or that you get them all right and you are all free so.... When you have me, you feel like sharing me. But, if you do share me, you don't have me. What am I?"
I stood there at the board thinking.
"Melanie it's a secret I know this one!" Meg said and I wrote it down.
"that was not fun.... Two girls ate dinner together. They both ordered iced tea. One girl drank them very fast and had finished five in the time it took the other to drink just one. The girl drank them very fast and had finished five in the time it took the other to drink just one. The girl who drank one died while the other survived. All of the drinks were poisoned. how did one survive?"
I had no idea.... I stood there wracking my brain as the muffled screams were stressing me out.
"come on~ save your friend"
Stacy took the pen and hesitantly wrote down 'the poisons was in the ice', we heard an angry sound from the speaker in the room because she got it right.
"another! The person who built me sold me. The person who bought me never used me. The person who used me never saw me. What am I?!"
"that's easy a coffin" Katy almost instantly said and we noted it.
"dammit! you get no help for this girly or I kill her right now! It's greater than God. More evil than the devil. The rich need it. The poor have it. If you eat it, it will KILL you. What is it?"
I gulped thinking and thinking, minutes passed but nothing came mind.... wait.... nothing.
"nothing! the answer is nothing!"
we heard a scream of anger from the speaker before all went silent and the board disappeared, the door opened and the glass panel lifted as her restraints open as if they were mechanic which since they opened on their own they were.
she slumped forwards and didn't move.
I quickly went over and pulled the blind fold off with the gag before pulling over the earphones and hearing the loud and scary screams coming from it even at this distance.
"I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" I was pushed down with her hands around my throat tightly.
"Seth stop!" Katy tried to shove her off me but she bites her hand hard enough to make it bleed before she freed it. now the others scared to do something.
she looked crazed and not the type of crazed she is normally, like a mindless insane person.
I hesitantly did something, I put my hands over her ears to block out any minuet sound we were doing and smiled despite the fact she was chocking me to death, I knew it wasn't the real crazy her.
almost instantly when I did that her grip really loosened and she closed her eyes, I don't know what was going on in her mind but I guess I did the good thing. I slowly pushed her way as I sat up before slowly letting go, her eyes staring at the ground, don't looking much calmer, she was even twitching from time to time.
I pulled the white patches that kept the electrodes stuck to her and handed her T-shirt I sported next to a door that wasn't open.
"it's so damned hard to keep to the deal" she was smiling big as she put it on, not even caring about the electric burns on her body.
"we'll try to not bother" she really seemed on the edge of losing it, I could see it in her eyes.
"why are you so bloody? and why do you have what's mine?!" I quickly gave her the axe before her anger made her snap.
".... I needed to.... to kill a boy and bring his heart and head to a table and the voice made me use your axe I'm sorry" she looked at me strangely since her usual smile was not on her face before she grabbed my arm and pulled me closer...... hugging me?
she had her free hand around my shoulder and on the back of my head, pressing it against her shoulder.
"you are guilty" she said and I'm sure only I could hear her right now. "you are not like people like me, guilt will never let you be like me, you are not a killer to be, you would suck at it" she let me go before walking through the door and up the stairs.
we looked at each other and followed the twitching and ready to snap Seth since we had no one choice, I walked right behind her with the others behind me and I was maybe smiling a little with a small, really small blush, I'm happy she cared enough to try to use her skills of consolation that are close to nothing from what she said to me but it helped in a way.
