Alice skips around the building, looking out of the windows as she sees a figure that stands outside of the gates, waiting to come in. She glares at the person who looks back at her with a blank gaze. 

"I'll deal with you in just a moment. Now stay where you are." Alice warns Raven, even if they can't hear each other. She's still sending out that warning to the woman she hates the most. She loses sight of Raven as she starts looking for the other students as she waits for the "final girls" of this day.

                                                                      ~0~

"Well, come at us, or are you afraid? Can you three even handle me?" Gluttony smirks as she looks at the trio who hasn't moved from their spot. Scarlet glances over at Gluttony who looks beyond furious as she looks at Eyeless Jack.

"Harlie said we need to rescue Carrie and Yuki-"

"There's no point, those two will not betray that evil bitch." Yuki and Carrie smile, showing her just how right Gluttony is. They nod their heads and run into the smoke, they are lost among it, but reappear as they clothesline Scarlet into the smoke.

"Scarlet!" Gluttony tries to reach for her companion, but it's like she disappeared from where they were. She gasps and winces as a scalpel hits the back of her head. She pulls it out of her skull and turns to look back at Eyeless Jack. 

"So, that's your choice. I'm going to eat you up and-"

"Don't you get it, Gluttony? I want you here with us. You just have to give up your heart so we can be together forever." Eyeless Jack tells her sweetly, his frown disappears as he looks at her gently. Well, as much as she can tell since he doesn't have eyes anyway. It almost softens up her resolve before she starts to hear explosions around her.

"You don't have to be bound to that evil woman! We could have been together without her help! You-"

"Without that evil woman, I wouldn't exist. She created this host for me and now I can live in this world to do as I please and devour all that I want. Without her, we wouldn't be standing here before each other." Gluttony looks at him, her chest aches, but she doesn't let those emotions overwhelm her.

"Then you can fucking stay with her... though, I'll eat her up and none of you will see her again!" Gluttony flies at Eyeless Jack, he steps back into the smoke and disappears like the others. Gluttony roars in frustration, her obsidian wings spread out to their full length and she starts to flap them, the smoke around her begins to move.

"Oh dear, she's trying to clear away my smoke. Oh well, it should be alright soon." Carrie bounces up and down on Scarlet's back, blood spills out of her mouth as she crushes her ribs into her organs. 

"Yes, now stop bouncing on her! You're wasting good blood!" Yuki scolds the red head who pouts and jumps off Scarlet who doesn't move at all. She nudges her with her foot, but she doesn't budge.

"Looks like we knocked her out. Better get her then before she wakes up."

"Eh? She's not dead?"

"No dummy! She's immortal! We went through this before! Carrie, can't you be less scatter brained?!" She giggles and sticks her tongue out at Yuki who looks at her disgusted. They look back down at Scarlet, but just as quickly look away as Gluttony yells at them to get their attention. 

"Aww crap..." They both prepare for Gluttony flying at them at full speed, but they get knocked away with a fierce kick each from Scarlet to their chins. Gluttony grabs her legs and tosses her up into the air. Scarlet gets herself back up right and looks down at the smoke below them. She smirks as she spots Eyeless Jack running around in the smoke below. She holds two katanas in an "X" formation on her chest, falling right towards the destination that Eyeless Jack runs.

"Hey, EJ! Fuck you for hurting Gluttony!" Eyeless Jack moves his head up in the direction that he hears Scarlet, but doesn't get time to move away as she swings her arms out to slice his neck wide open and using him as a cushion for her fall. She sits up and looks down at the black blood pouring from his open wounds. "One down..." Two female screams are heard from a distance. "Make that three total."

The smoke clears away as Scarlet stands up, looking back over to see Yuki and Carrie stabbed through with her sharp, obsidian wings. They try to escape, but the blood loss starts to affect their strength. She tosses them to the ground, retracting her bloody wings.

"Gluttony... you killed them." Scarlet carefully makes her way towards Gluttony who is smiling psychotically, her mind set is on full insanity at the moment. Her drool escapes through her lips and razor sharp teeth as she looks at the two girls who bleed out. Carrie dies while Yuki only remains in pain and struggling to stay conscious.

"This one is an immortal, so I can eat her right up... then I can eat up Eyeless Jack." A chuckle escapes her as she walks up to Yuki and steps on her chest, she winces and holds on to Gluttony's leg with shaky hands.

"Fine, but I'm going ahead to find the others. Broken and Harlie are probably going to need my help." Scarlet doesn't receive a response from Gluttony. She shakes her head and finally starts to see the academy again. She runs to the building and goes on a search for her friends. 

"Scar..." Scarlet's eyes widen as she hears the familiar, sad voice of Lost Silver. She smiles and turns to look at him and just hold him tightly. Her gaze is horrified as she sees the gaping hole in his chest, his body sways from side to side from a rope on his neck. Scarlet's voice is stuck in her throat.

"Ah the devastation is so beautiful to watch!" Scarlet looks away from the swaying body and up further to the second floor. Alice sits on the railing of the second floor, making Lost Silver's body sway from side to side herself. Her free hand is in front of her face as she licks up blood from her fingers, her face is a bloody mess.

"What have you done?! Scarlet screams out at Alice. She smiles, dropping the body to the ground, Scarlet tries to catch him. She falls down at the impact of his body. She looks back up, but Alice is gone. Her body shakes and she screams with the purest of pain.

                                                         ~0~

"Blood! Blood, answer me!" Broken pleads with Blood, but she doesn't respond. 

"Let me show you just how much more useful I was to Lady Alice than you were, Clown." Zalgo says in a disgusted voice, the mouth on his neck shows the disgust of his mouth while his eyes show the rest of it. Laughing Jack gives him the same look and glares at him, but doesn't do anything or say anything for now.

"What did you do to Blood?!" Broken screams out, grabbing her knife, pointing it at the two monsters she knows she can't exactly kill being only a human. Zalgo and Laughing Jack look back at her, her hand shaking to show that she is afraid. Her buried feelings only come up in fear.

"I infected her with my virus. If that is how you'll understand it better. Now rise, Kitty. Deal with your friend. Kill her." Broken gasps and quickly backs away from Blood as she stands up from the ground. The tiny tendrils in her eyes and mouth start to move. 

"Blood... are you serious?! Letting a chump like that take you over just like that?!" Broken watches her fingers light up with purple lightning. It corrupts and becomes black lightning, it makes her heart pound in her chest as her fear starts to come to life in someone she considered a friend.

"What a clever way to pair us all up. This is like a game of chess-"

"You don't even play chess, stupid Clown." Laughing Jack's smile tightens as he looks over at Zalgo who doesn't feel bothered to look at him at all. His clawed fingers curl up in anger, but he continues to hold himself back.

Broken tries to ignore the arguing pair and keep her focus on Blood, pushing back her own phobia as well just to stay alive. She runs away from Blood as she starts to attack her. Running right after her with her own knife, going for the kill. They play the game of cat and mouse, Broken knows that unlike Blood, she will become tired soon. She can't keep running forever.

"No, it can't end like this! I have to see Masky and Sally no matter what!" She lets that thought alone strengthen her and keep her surviving. Until she can find a way out of the circus tent with no exit. She runs on the bleachers, avoiding Blood with her smaller size. 

"Wait a second... I have an idea..." Broken steals a glance through the gaps under the bleachers to Zalgo and Laughing Jack who haven't moved at all. They just watch the show from the curtain where normally performers come out of. She figures that may also be her exit out of there. They need an exit out as well, according to her thoughts.

Broken throws herself through the larger gaps, bumping herself a bit, as she ends up in full view of Zalgo and Laughing Jack again. She glares at them and runs towards the center of the stage before turning in such a manner where she can look at Blood, but also keep Zalgo and Laughing Jack within sight. 

Blood also pauses as she looks at Broken, it surprises her, but she doesn't let that hinder her plan. Blood begins to build up lightning in her fingertips, dropping her knife to the ground. She waits, watching Blood's big impact to come. When she spots that twitch in her, she runs over towards Zalgo and Laughing Jack. They look at her surprised and try to dodge, but lightning comes at them far too fast for them to dodge. Broken was prepared for the impact that may have killed her, but she was knocked down. 

"BEN?!" Broken looks surprised at the blond who had kept her head down, his bloody gaze is on Blood who looks down at them. Broken turns to find both Laughing Jack and Zalgo charred on the ground.

"Blood, it's okay... you got them. Let me help you." BEN stands up slowly, putting his hand out towards Blood who doesn't seem to know what to do now that Zalgo was gone. She tilts her head, watching BEN's hand. "Blood, take my hand. We can get that virus out." 

Blood reaches out her hand, letting it hover over BEN's. His hand glows blue before he grabs her hand. It sends a jolt through her body and she starts to vomit black ooze. BEN supports her as she lets it all out of her system. Broken stands up and watches the tent around them begin to morph and just melt away. They are once again outside of Creepypasta Academy. 

"Masky! Sally!" Broken runs away from the ghostly pair and runs into the building. BEN steals a glance as he watches Broken run. 

She's unsure of where to look, but she's horrified to find dead bodies strewn about the academy. Some are familiar faces, but they are not the ones she is looking for. Her gaze widens as she watches Alice skip from one room to another. Far away, down the hall from her. She grips her knife and runs at a dead sprint, jumping over bodies in the hall.

"You made it!" Alice claps happily as she pretends to serve tea to three bears. Sally's bear Charlie is one of those guests, but his stuffing is ripped out of him. The other two are poorly in place and are coated in blood.

"Masky and Sally... where are they?!" Broken yells out at her. Alice motions her hand to the seat across from her, serving essentially air to a plastic cup.

"Have a seat, Broken. I don't think we ever had a friendly conversation." She smiles kindly at Broken who walks up to the table, kicking it in the direction of the child-sized pink bear, making it fall back with a fairly hard thud. 

"Friendly?! Enough with your bullshit! I want nothing to do with you! I just want Masky and Sally! You can do whatever you want with the others, but I'm done! Fuck everyone else!" Alice's eyes cross as she looks at the knife being pointed right at her throat. She looks back up into Broken's eyes and continues to smile.

"Okay, I suppose that's fair. I don't want to upset the balance set forth by Death. I like to "be alive" myself. Just one thing, play with me. Have a tea party with me and my fun bears." Alice slides back her seat and goes to pick up the table and pink bear. 

"Fuck your bullshit!" Broken turns to the yellow man-sized bear beside her and stabs it through the top of it's head. The sensation wasn't one of stuffing, but stabbing through a skull. A quick groan escaped before it went silent. She looks over at Alice who hugs the pink bear whose head had fallen off after Broken had knocked it down with the table. What she meets is the blank gaze of Sally. Alice smirks, her eyes on the yellow bear. 

With a shaky head, Broken turns slowly to the bear she stabbed. Her grip on her knife loosens, but she doesn't let it go.

"Take it off. Take off the mask, Broken." Tears well up in her eyes as she realizes what she had done. Alice taunts her, continuing to tell her to rip off the mask. Her heart thunders in her ears, she pulls out her knife and pulls off the teddy bear mask, throwing it aside. Her screams fill the halls as Alice walks out of the room, letting the door close behind her.

"Shh, no yelling in school." She whispers to no one alive in the hall.

                                                    ~0~

"Oh, your actions hurt me, Cutie. Why must you be so cruel to me?" Again, Harlie's ears ring as he tries to talk over the loud music in his ears. She looks around, realizing that she has no chance right now. She nods her head and makes the best choice and runs away.  "Wow, did not expect that. That's my girl!" Jeff grins, widening the slits on his cheeks as he goes after her.

"I'm at a disadvantage if he can't hear my voice. I can't face him head on just like that. I..." Harlie looks ahead as she starts to get a sense of being watched. "Great, he's not alone." She tries to find his partner, but also has to maintain focus on her footing. Any raised root could cause her to fall.

"Those aren't roots..." She realizes they're tendrils that are slithering their way towards her. She smirks and runs away, listening to Jeff coming after her and watching Slenderman's tendrils trying to grab her legs. She keeps dodging and weaving through trees, making her way towards some dried bushes and low hanging branches. She runs right into them, pulling down the branches, hoping any of them fall behind her.

"Hey, you got us into a really awkward spot. You just trapped yourself." Jeff watches Harlie fall into a large opening in the middle of one of the bushes. She tries to struggle out of the bush, looking back at Jeff who smiles as he looks at her. 

"It's over, Cutie." Jeff shows her his knife. She looks at his unblinking gaze.

"Yep, it is." Harlie mouths, taking in a breath and moving her foot ever so slightly to pull Jeff's earbuds off him. He gasps, trying to get them, but they tangle in the bush. As he struggles, Harlie starts to sing. Slenderman's tendrils try to reach her, but she uses the bush to get him tangled up.

Jeff starts to scream in pain as her singing intensifies. Even the tendrils seems to show pain as they start to become all confused, some even retract. She sings until the very end, when Jeff goes still and the tendrils that remain just go still.

Harlie grunts as she lands on the grass of Creepypasta Academy, she looks over at Gluttony who looks down at her. She puts out her hand for the cotton candy haired girl and helps her up. 

"Where are the others?" Harlie questions Gluttony who looks to the academy. 

"They ran in to find the ones they were looking for after they returned to this spot. I can hear their screams." Harlie clenches her hands and motions Gluttony to follow, she doesn't look back at Jeff who lay still at her feet. They run into the building, stopping near the door.

"We defeated them too easily... They were a distraction all along. They let themselves get taken down by us." Harlie looks around, walking towards the screams she hears. She is stopped by Gluttony as she spots Scarlet pressed against a locker, sitting down, with Lost Silver held tightly in her arms. She sits in a way that is protective of his corpse.

"Scarlet, let him go. He's gone, we have to get Scarlet and Blood. If they're both still okay." Gluttony tells the blonde as she casts a glance over at the two girls. She looks back at Lost Silver, kissing his forehead, setting him down carefully on the bloody ground.

"Why hasn't the hunter come for Alice? What is she waiting for? So we can all kill each other?" Scarlet speaks up in a raspy tone. "Was she already taken down too?"

"No, she's out there. She's just standing there, waiting." The trio look back over at BEN who helps support Blood as she tries to walk. He helps her lean against the wall. "That screaming, it's Broken, isn't it? We have to go to her." 

"I'll go get her, Gluttony, keep an eye on Blood and Scarlet." Harlie offers. She nods her head and lets her go off. Harlie steps over bodies and looks into the tea party room, or rather, what used to be their classroom. Where they learned nothing of use to them.

"Broken." Harlie calls out to the crying girl who has her arms over Masky and Sally, both are now lying side by side. Harlie frowns, seeing something wrong with the sight. "Broken, Sally is a poltergeist... Why would she be dead right now?" Broken lifts her head up and looks over at Harlie with wide eyes.

"You're right... She shouldn't be like this..." Harlie's eyes widen as Broken reassures the nagging suspicion in her head.

"We're not awake right now."
