Split Apart
#4 of Psycho Killer
It's a good thing I can take my anger out on writing...but I'm starting to think I'm getting a bit rusty on the killing...despite me not really being into writing horror stuff.

Chapter 3
Split Apart
Sam's Group
(Sam and his group managed to escape from Shadow and they have hidden themselves in the chemistry lab. There they waited for things to cool off before searching for everyone else.)
Sam: ......
Camille: Is it safe?
Sam: For now...I guess...
Blake: Ok...but what now? If we step out there we get killed...and if we try to escape out of the windows...who knows what will happen?
Sam: At least we are still alive...for now...
Camille: ...Hey, since we're here...why don't we mix some chemicals to use against Sheridan?
Blake: I'd be careful...he might have expected us to reach here and may have wired the chemicals.
Sam: Right...but we should do this in the morning when we can still see.
Blake: Ok, now get in here. Butler's office is better than actually out in an open space.
Sam: Right.
(Sam then gets in the small room and shuts the door. All three of them watched the two doors incase either Sheridan or Shadow tried to get in.)
Kari's Group
(Kari's group has taken refuge in one of the English classrooms. Watching the door was Connor in case they were to be caught off guard.)
Connor: Holy shit...I can't believe that happened!
Kari: I know......are you ok Erin?
Erin: .........
Connor: Erin, everything will be alright... (I hope)
Erin: H-how could you say that...we could be next...
Kari: Erin...you need to calm down...go lie on Roush's desk for a bit.
Erin: ......o-okay...
(Erin the lies on the desk; and Kari walks up to Connor.)
Kari: You think we could get out of here?
Connor: I don't know...but at least Sheridan was stupid enough to cut off the wrong hand. I got Kaine's gun.
Kari: That's good. If he comes in here we'll have something to easily kill him.
(Kari then sits down on another nearby desk and helps Connor watch the door.)
Josh's Group
(Josh and his group have made the mistake in hiding in the gym as when they reached the bottom of the gym, Sheridan had followed them. They managed to split up but Josh was being pursued by him.)
Josh: Sheridan, knock it off!
Sheridan: Why do you have to ruin the fun?
(Josh then climbs the bleachers higher while kicking Sheridan in the face to knock him down.)
Meanwhile downstairs
(Ethan and Vanessa managed to give Sheridan the slip by hiding in the locker rooms, but they were worried that he may appear out of nowhere like Shadow did earlier.)
Ethan: Stay close to me...and watch your step...this place is trapped.
Vanessa: I know...but what about Josh? He's still out there and I think he's fighting Sheridan!
Ethan: I think Josh can outsmart him...we just need to avoid fighting. He at least has some light out there...it's literally pitched black down here.
Upstairs
(Josh managed to shake Sheridan off but the situation was about to turn worse for him.)
Sheridan: Hmph...fine, if you don't want to die, then perhaps your friends would be a different story.
(Sheridan then pulls out a glass beaker and a lighter.)
Josh: What are you doing?
Sheridan: Did you really think that I wouldn't do anything to the lockers here?
Josh: What did you do!?
Sheridan: Heh, not like you would save them in time. I coated the floors with flammable oil and the lockers are filled with gunpowder.
(Sheridan then lights the liquid in the beaker on fire and tosses it behind him.)
Sheridan: Hehe...burn alive!
Josh: NO!
Downstairs
Smash!
Vanessa: What was that?
Ethan: It sounded like glass breaking.
(Soon light began to grow in the dark passage. Ethan and Vanessa look back to see fire approaching them.)
Ethan: Fire!
Vanessa: Run!
(They both then began to run until Ethan tripped and accidently opened one of the lockers to spill black powder on him.)
Ethan: Agh...what is this!?
Vanessa: ...Ethan! Get up now! We have to escape before we're blown up!
Ethan: Right!
(They both then reach the door but were too late. The fire had reached the locker room and blew it up.)
Ethan: Vanessa!
Upstairs
Josh: No...damn you Sheridan!
Sheridan: Hahaha!!! Well, I'm satisfied for a while...not as much blood and guts I wanted to see, but this is delectable enough for me!
(Sheridan then vanishes; Josh then looks at the burning wreckage of what was left of the gym.)
Josh: ......I've got to kill him...before more lives are taken.
(Josh then hides behind one of the bleachers away from the fire and kept an eye out for not only the killers, but for any signs of his friends...if they were alive.)
Dalton
(Dalton had managed to be separated from everyone else...though he was lucky to have both his knife and gun in hand in case of a surprise attack from Sheridan and Shadow. He was roaming the halls until he reached the gates to the art room.)
Dalton: ...Hmm...
(Dalton then looks up and saw a pendulum hanging from the ceiling by a chain.)
Dalton: God damn Sheridan! I think this is overkill, even for you!
(Dalton then backs away from the gate and walks into the office next to it and grabbed a few books and then faced the gate again.)
Dalton: I may not get out myself, but I can at least help the others get out without getting killed.
(He then shoots at the lock on the gate door and then throws the books at the door to push it open. Dalton the hides behind a wall as the pendulum comes flying down and slashes through the gates and into the stairs. Dalton then gets up and looks at the wreckage.)
Dalton: Damn...it'll take a while to get through that scrap now...
Oh! I wonder who triggered it!
Dalton: Fuck, just what I needed.
(Dalton then hides in the office as Sheridan came into the small corridor to see the wreckage.)
Sheridan: What? No dead body!? Phooey...I was expecting a blood splatter all over the place with something split in half.
Dalton: (I've got to get to a different location...)
(Dalton then sneaks his way behind Sheridan and made a run for it towards the gym, but as he arrived he saw the place was burning.)
Dalton: Holy shit!
Josh: Psst! Dalton! Over here!
(Josh then motions to Dalton and they both hid behind the bleacher.)
Dalton: Dude, what happened!?
Josh: Sheridan...he said he coated the floor down there with a flammable oil and put gunpowder in the lockers...Ethan and Vanessa were down there...
Dalton: Damn...well we need to be more careful. I was just at the art room and there was a pendulum set as a trap!
Josh: ...The fuck...what is wrong with him!?
Dalton: I know!
(Josh then looks out from the bleachers and then at Dalton.)
Josh: We either need to find the others or find a way to escape...we'll try the band room next. If I'm correct, his memory loss must have made him forget about the door that leads outside. We'll try if it's not trapped and we find the others to get them out of here.
