"He just....left..." Said Jerome in shock

"Jason!" Sky ran after him but a few people held him back.

"Sky! Calm down! You can't just run out like that!" Said bodil who was grabbing onto his sleeve

"Well we can't just leave him on his own! He could get hurt!" Sky said. He didn't want anymore people out in the open alone.

"I'm sorry sky be he snapped...it's gonna probably take a long time to find him. Well send out a search party as soon as possible." Said Ian, trying to comfort him.

Sky looked at the ground. What if Jason is next...? He thought.

"Well go out soon. You bodil basher and sub just got here take a little break." Said Tyler.

"But it's 2: 30!" Said sky "we don't have a lot of time!"

"At least a five minutes..." Said bodil. "My head still hurts....I'm probably gonna stay back here"

"Ok..." Sky sighed. He sat down in a chair and waited till they got there search party group.

Seto continued to walk through the maze of the mansion. He knew Brice was dead. It said in the book.

He opened up the book to see if it would show who dies at three o' clock, but it didn't. So, he closed the book and continued walking.

He still remembered what Clocky said. That his master was telling him to do stuff. And he would  kill him if he didn't. But who was the master? If he was gone, they would be able to get out of this mess. Him, everyone else who was here, and Clocky.

As he turned a corner, he was so zoned out in his mind that he didn't see Clocky coming.

"Boo!" Clocky yelled as he jumped out in front of him.

"Ah-!" Setos heart almost came out of his chest. He jumped back out of fear. "O-oh..." He said, trying to catch back his breath. "I-it's jut you..."

"Heh...sorry Seto.." Clocky said, a bit ashamed for what he did.

"It's ok.." Seto said as he put his hand on his head. "Just...don't do that. Ever"

"Ok!" Clocky said, smiling.

"What happened to you?" Seto said as he realized the few scratches on him.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Clocky said while tilting his head.

"You have a lot of fresh scars on you face. What happened?" Seto repeated himself.

"Oh...well...I can't tell you...my master said not too..." Clocky said "sorry..."

"It's ok." Said Seto. "You don't have to apologize for everything"

"Ok" said Clocky. He was almost gonna say sorry again. Seto smiled.

"Could you at least tell me who's all here?" Seto asked, hoping to get a little bit of information.

"Yes." Clocky said. "Sky, Jason, Ty, sub, Ian, Jerome, basher, and bodil."

"That's a lot...are they all separated or...?"

"There used to be eight, but noes there's seven. One left the group." Said Clocky.

"Oh...ok...how do you know all of this? Do you watch them?" Seto asked.

"I can't tell." Said Clocky. Clocky stared at something. "I have to go now. Also, that book you have, make sure you have it with you at all times." He said.

"Ok? But why-" seto started, but he could finish. Clocky was already gone.

"So it's sky, Jerome, Tyler, and me?" Said Ian.

"Yeah, witch leaves three here." Sky said as he looked at sub, basher, and bodil.

"Should we go? It's almost three." Said Jerome while looking at the clock.

"Yeah, come on guys" said Ian as he headed to the door.

This time, Jerome and Tyler had the swords since sky and Ian always got them. The three of them followed Ian, waving goodbye to there friends, not knowing what would happen next.

Jason continued to run from the direction he came. He wanted nothing to do with this anymore. He didn't want to die, and he knew that coming out here would kill him. But maybe if he wasn't with a group he  wouldn't die.

He stopped tuning for a moment to catch his breath. He hoped to find someone like seto or Ty. He was scared. He didn't know why he ran off. He just did.

"This was a stupid idea..." Jason said to himself. He had no clue where he was. He looked at the clock which now had two bloody dots. One by one, and the other by two. It was 2: 40.

He decided to sit and take a break. He had been running for a while. He sat by the wall on the opposite end of the clock so he could watch it.

He turned his head to face right. He heard something. Something coming closer. It sounded like someone was running.

The noise stopped and he could see something in a distance. It's was very short and human like. He narrowed his eyes too see it better, but it must have seen him because it turned around and ran back.

"Hey! Wait!" Jason said as he stood up and ran after it. "I'm not gonna hurt you!"

They were still out walking. The clock was getting closer and closer to 3. They still were clueless of who's gonna die.

"Do you think we should head back now? There's only two minutes left." Said Ian who had just glanced over at the clock.

"Yeah, we probably should" said Tyler.

"But what if Jason is next?" Said sky, not giving up on his friend. "Or Ty...or Seto? We can't just leave them out there! Plus, Ty might be next. Sub said he was taken by the beast!"

"He does have a point..." Said Jerome "but it could be anyone at this point. Were still not sure"

"We have to get going though." Said Ian. "It could be one of us"

All of them looked at Ian, well, more so behind him.

"What?" Ian said, not sure what they were looking at. He turned around to see what it was. There, he saw the beast running down the hallways towards them.

They all stepped out of the way, Tyler and Jerome having there swords at ready, the the beast just ignored them and ran past them.

"W-what..?" Said Jerome with his eyes wide open.

"It just...ran past us..." Tyler finished for him.

They all looked back at the way the beast came from. They heard another noise. A running noise. Jerome and Tyler had there swords ready once again.

To there surprise, it was no other than the boy who ran away, Jason.

"Jason!" Sky exclaimed.

Jason stopped running and looked at all of them. "Good...the thing isn't after you...and...I'm really sorry guys...."

"Save story time for later" said Ian.
"If it's not after you or any of us, then it had to be after Ty, Seto, or someone at base."
