Chapter 2

Shadow Strike

(As the others in the library wait cautiously, Dalton soon came running in and towards one of the doors. Dalton was trying to push a bookcase in front of it.)

Sam: Dalton, what happened!?

Camille: Where's Justin?

Dalton: Sheridan killed him! Now don't just stand there asking me questions and help me seal the doors off!

(Everyone in the room then works together and sealed off every door except for the main door.)

Josh: Ok, now there is only one way in...and one way out...

Connor: ...so he really is going through with this?

Dalton: Yeah...but what I don't understand is how fast he's gotten in so little time...

Vanessa: What do you mean?

Dalton: When Justin went to punch his face off, it's like he knew what was going to happen. Even though he has access to the cameras...he somehow predicted how Justin was going to attack him.

Josh: ...If he can do that...then how are we supposed to get out of here?

Ethan: ...you think he's in the office right now?

Dalton: I'm not sure...he could be trying to get in here right now...

Nick: ...I think planning when he's out of the office is a good thing...but we need better tactics than that...

Kaine: Explain.

Nick: I'm saying is that when he's killing someone else who he manages to get his hands on...that's when we make a plan.

.........

(Everyone had a grave look on their faces. Eventually someone spoke out.)

Blake: I don't know if that's a good idea...

Sam: ...I think we have no choice. Not everyone is going to get out alive or in one piece...

Camille: If we're lucky enough not to become part of Sheridan's new collection of bones and flesh, those who escape can try to get as far away from here...

Josh: Yet, we're forgetting someone else in the plan...Shadow.

Vanessa: What if there isn't a Shadow? He could have been bluffing.

Sheridan: Oh I assure you he's here.

(Everyone then flinches and looks at the door they didn't block. There stood Sheridan covered in blood.)

Josh: Sheridan!

Sheridan: Hehe...so you think you are able to escape? I doubt that!

Dalton: What makes you think that we won't try!

Sheridan: I'm just surprised at you all. Thinking I would just let you do what you want...yet there are limits.

Connor: You're all big talk for a psycho.

Sheridan: Thank you. I take the term psycho as a compliment thanks to you all.

Vanessa: Why are you doing this!?

Sheridan: It wouldn't matter to explain to such inferior species.

Blake: What did you say!?

Kaine: Saying we're inferior species huh? Then what does that make you?

Sheridan: Me? That would take more time than you have left.

(Sheridan then turns away from the door and begins to walk away.)

Sheridan: I'm sure that some of you are aware of this...but I'm gonna say it anyways. Don't bother trying to call for help. I've set up a signal blocker to cut you phone signal off. And the wifi has been deactivated. So sending a message is inevitable.

(Sheridan then laughs as he walks away. Blake and Kaine then grab their bags and open them to pull out two guns.)

Blake: Man, it's a good thing I started carrying this after I heard about what he did.

Kaine: Same...

Josh: Are you two sure it's a good idea to go out there and shoot him?

Kaine: he may be able to deflect physical attacks, but can he deflect a bullet in time?

Dalton: I doubt he could.

Josh: But it would be best if we leave one gun with us. Those who go out of the library will have the other gun.

Kari: If we could get to Hunt's room, then we would be able to use what we find in there as weapons.

Erin: I don't think that's a good idea.

Sam: Erin's right. Hunt's room is one with windows and the door that leads outside in the parking lot...

Kari: So it's bounded to be trapped...

Josh: That's ok...we won't need any of that as long as we have a gun to shoot him in the heart.

Sam: Right.

Later in the night

(Soon everyone was asleep...everyone except Kaine. He was up for his turn on watch.)

Kaine: ...... (Urgh...why the hell are we even trying to watch? That bastard shut most of the lights off that I can barely see my own hand if I were to go outside the room.)

...but what fun is it if you can see what you want?

(Kaine then jumps a bit. He then holds the gun up and looks around in the dark.)

Kaine: Where are you!?

HAHAHA......you are too easy...that it's not even fun...

Kaine: ...

(Without warning, something sharp was driven into Kaine's neck. He screamed in pain which woke everyone up.)

Josh: Kaine! What's happening!?

Kaine: Argh!

(Rummaging in his pockets, Josh managed to find a flashlight and turned it on. He shone the light towards Kaine to see him being stabbed and torn.)

Josh: Sheridan!

Sheridan: hehe...die...DIE!

Dalton: That's it!

(Dalton then grabs the other gun and aims at Sheridan, but a glint in his eye flickers and he draws another knife and swiftly throws it. The knife is then driven within Dalton's chest which made him fall back and drop the gun.)

Vanessa: Forget trying to kill him, grab you things and run!

(Everyone then grabs their bags and began to run out of the room.)

Sheridan: Here...have a hand!

(Sheridan then cuts off Kaine's hand and throws it at the door. Connor then screams and trips, smashing through one of the stained glass panels near the door. As everyone blindly made their way out of the library, the smell of blood filled the air.)

Connor: Damn...that hurt...

Kari: We'll worry about that later...

Escape will not be that easy

Sam: Who said that!?

Camille: That's not Sheridan......

(A bright flash then explodes in front of everyone and a man dressed in black garbs appears out of nowhere. He then glares at all of them.)

Shadow: So, you are the ones Sheridan wants dead next?

Erin: T-t-that must be Shadow!

Josh: Run!

(They all then split up and began to run, but Shadow acted fast enough and snatches Nick. Before he had a chance to scream, they disappeared.)

Sam: Oh shit, what is this!? A horror movie!?

Camille: I don't know and I don't want to!

Blake: Quit talking and run!
