Chapter 4: One o' Clock
As the four boys walked down the hallway the only noise they could hear were there feet walking on the cold stone ground and the ticking of the clocks that were on every corner and in every room.
The silence was then broken by them shouting the names of there lost friends, Bodil, Sub, Seto, and Ty. There was no response.
"They could be anywhere!" Said Jerome "this is taking forever!"
"My legs hurt..." Complained Jason
"Come on guys" said Ian trying to be the bigger person "we have to stay strong"
"Yeah biggums" Mitch said as he nudged Jerome.
They seemed to go in circles. They checked a lot of rooms but no luck. They knew nobody was on the next floor because they found blocked off stairs.
When things were very quiet and everyone was tired, they started to head back to base to get rest. But, the silence didn't last too long.
The sound of the clocks stopped and were replaces by a loud ding noise. All the lights in the hallways turned on but they weren't white, they were all a shade a red.
"W-what's a going on?!" Said Ian frantically.
"I don't know but it doesn't sound or look good" said Mitch holding his sword out in front of him
"Are we gonna die?!" Panicked Jason now looking everywhere for a sign of a monster or killer.
Mitch stood in front of the group as the bravest on.
"Were gonna hurry back to the base ok?" Mitch said turning around to look at all of them.
"Ok...be carful Beja..." Said Jerome, worried.
Just as Mitch turned around to run, there was a clicking noise and then a wave of shock.
Mitch fell down on his knees as everyone went wide eyed.
"Beja!!!!!!" Jerome yelled running to his friend, but was held back by Ian
"No! It's dangerous!" Said Ian
"Oh god.....Mitch....." Said Jason.
Mitch fell over. Jerome slipped out of his grip and ran to his friend, crouching down by him, looking at what happened. There were five arrows shot into his chest hitting the heart directly.
"No!! You can't be dead! T-this is a joke...right? He'll wake up....Mitch...buddy...please answer me.." Jerome said though tears in his eyes. As he grabbed his friend, he could feel the coldness of his limp body.
Ian and Jason just stood there horror struck, watching there friend morn a dead body.
Ian tried to pull Jerome away from Mitch's lifeless body, but he refused.
"Jerome, we have to go before we get hurt...or worse...." Said Ian
"No! We can't just leave him here! Jason...your with me....right....?" Said Jerome while looking at Jason.
"W-well....I uh...." Jason didn't know what to say.
"Come on Jerome! Please! I know you want to stay with him, and I do too, but right now isn't the time" said Ian.
"Then we will bring him with" said Jerome while standing up and wiping his tears with his sleeve.
"No. We're not bring a dead body to base. It would freak every one out and it would slow us down. Please Jerome..." Said Ian, trying to persuade his friend.
Jerome looked down at Mitch's body. He then crouched down again and took something off of Mitch's neck, gripping it in his hand.
He stood up again and looked at Ian. "Ok... We can go now..." Said Jerome.
"Thank you..now we have to hurry" said Ian while walking over to Mitch's sword, picking it up and handing it to Jerome who held onto it along with the thing he took from Mitch.
The group of three retraced there steps to get back to there base. The red light slowly started to die and they could now hear the panting of each other, there feet on the ground, and the ticking of the clock.
They finally got back to the base out of breath. Jason was the one who knocked and basher was the one to answer. The three guys walked in, everyone asking questions.
"Did you find them?"
"Any knew places?"
"Where's Mitch?"
Everything went quiet when someone mentioned Mitch. Jerome put his head up and looked at everyone while holding his hand out to reveal Mitch's dog tag.
"Mitch was...killed..." Jerome said slowly.
Everyone stared at him wide eyed. One of there friends just died and he didn't respawn.
Jerome told them everything in great detail. Everyone felt like they were there.
"I guess that one every hour thing meant that one of us will die every hour..." Said basher.
Everyone was know very afraid. One of them would die each hour. They had no idea who. They had almost exactly an hour before another one of them dies.
"So...what do we do now...?" Said sky, looking around at everyone.
No one knew what to do. Nobody wanted to go out to find anyone anymore. Well, they did but they didn't. Sky and Ian were really the only ones.
"Guys come on! At least one more person. We still have an hour well be fine!" Said Ian trying to get everyone motivated.
Brice raised his hand but was shushed.
"Brice...you hurt your arm were not risking it" said Sky. Brice wanted to argue, but he didn't.
Tyler sighed. "Almost everyone but me has been out. I guess...I'll go..." Said Tyler.
"Thanks Tyler" said sky, smiling at his fellow YouTuber.
The guys once again geared up, this time being more prepared, and headed out into the dark hallway once again.
"The lights gone...I think were ok..." Said Tyler as he stood up and opens the door leading to the dark hallway.
Sub didn't move. He was sitting there in fear.
"Sub, come on. We have to find the guys." Ty said, trying to pull his friend up from the ground.
Sub finally have in and stood up and slowly walked out the door. Ty followed him.
Ty and sub were both annoyed by the ticking of the clock.
"When I get something that can smash clocks...I will smash every single one!" Said Ty angrily
Sub nodded in agreement. He wanted to smash the clocks with him.
They continues walking for a while until there legs hurt and found a place to camp out.
Seto was tired of sitting and got up. He looked at the clock one last time. 1:10.
He went out the door and went off to go find bodil and Ian. He needed to know if they were ok.
He headed down long cold hallways until he stopped when he saw something in the distance.
As he got closer he saw that it was the body of another minecraft YouTuber. It was Mitch. Seto could tell that he was dead by the look and smell.
Why is Mitch here? And why is he ....dead...? Is this some joke? Or prop? He thought to himself.
He walked around Mitch's body and continued on, every so often checking behind him to look back at him.
