"Sammy? Saaaaaammmmmmy..." Nico sing-songed as he walked to the other room. His hand hovered over the door knob before it turned and the door swung open, revealing Samuel covered slightly in blood.

"Hiya." Samuel said whilst smiling. A small sparkle appeared in his eyes. "What brings you over?" He said leaning against the door.

"Just checking up on you..." Nico said, tip-toeing to peek over Samuel's shoulder to see the damage done to his parents. Samuel noticed Nico's attempt and ducked down a little, allowing access to see over him.

In the room there were two bodies, mutilated beyond distinction. Chests were cut open, eyes were gouged out, sides were sliced up, entrails were everywhere. It was like looking at a set of a horribly cliche horror movie!

Nico's eyes widened slightly as he looked over at Samuel, who merely smiled.

"What?" Samuel questioned, "didn't think I had it in me?"

"Nope. Definitely did not expect this. Like at all." Samuel chuckled and Nico smiled. It was nice seeing his blood-covered boyfriend smile. It seemed cute in a way.

"So are we just going to stand here staring at each other or are we-....wait....what was that...?" Samuel stopped and poked his head out the door frame and pulled Nico behind him. Nico peeked over Samuel's shoulder curiously.

"What was what?" Nico said trying to get in front of Samuel.

"I heard...footsteps..like someone running..."

"Not possible...I've locked the others up...they couldn't have of gotten out! They're tied up!!" Samuel covered Nico's mouth with his hand to shush him and took a step out into the hall. A small creak and a quiet slam echoed through the hall.

Samuel pulled his hand away from Nico's mouth and took another step out into the hall, he was in a tense position, as if he was ready for a fight.

Nico's heart was pounding. This couldn't be happening. He had planned everything since day one! They knocked locked them in a room, tied them up, and knocked them out with sleeping gas! Who could've gotten away from that?!

"Alright Nico...we gotta get out of here....like now." Nico looked at Samuel with a look of disbelief.

"We can let whoever that is leave alive! They'll escape and call the cops on us! We have no choice but to kill them!"

"Alright alright...here's the plan, we split up, look for them and kill them. Simple. Easy. And quick." Samuel said walking past Nico to retrieve the knife he was using earlier.

"Just like you Sammy." Nico chimed with a smirk. Samuel rolled his eyes and grabbed his own knife whilst handing one to Nico, who refused to take it.

"You'll need it to protect yourself Nico."

"Don't worry my dear Sammy, I have my own weapon I can use." Samuel nodded and walked out into the hall with Nico trailing behind.

"Alright Nico time to split up, just be safe okay?" Nico nodded. "Alright...yell if you need anything or if you're about to be violently killed." With that Samuel walked quickly and quietly down the hall and disappeared around the corner.

Nico waited a second before jogging down the hall himself. He knew where he was going. He knew what what he was looking for and where it was. To be perfectly honest to himself, Nico was as excited as little kid in a candy store or a pet shop. He couldn't contain his giddiness as he jogged down the quiet halls.

He then stopped in front of the door where he had the hostages. Nico opened the door slowly and peeked in. They were all still tied up. The food was locked. No random piece of rope was thrown lazily on the floor.

It didn't add up.

------------------------------------------

Samuel walked quietly down the halls. He gripped his knife tightly and strained himself to hear every single little thing. He paused, thinking he heard something. His breathing swallowed when he heard a loud bang. Followed by another and another.

"Here we go." Samuel quickened his pace and followed the sounds. Then they stopped. He was just about to round a corner to where he suspected the bangs were coming from when Samuel was tackled by someone pretty well-built. His arms were pulled behind him and the knife ripped out of his hands, then he was thrown down onto the ground, hitting his head.

"I honestly thought...you kids were alright. I thought that you guys were harmless..." A familiar voice said quietly, "I guess it's obvious I was pretty damn wrong." Samuel rolled over to see Ron, tears staining his cheeks.

With his head pounding, Sammy stood up and smiled, trying to keep calm and focused at the task at hand.

"Obviously Ron. There's a reason we were all in here and I would've thought that was pretty obvious." Samuel jumped up to grab the knife but Ron leaned out of the way and hit Samuel's back, causing him to fall down again.

"I didn't think... I didn't think that I would have to actually hurt you kids..." Ron said, his voice cracking. Samuel got on his knees and attempted to bring the man down with him to have some sort of angle but no luck. Ron didn't budge, instead his kicked Samuel away.

Not missing a beat Samuel jumped up back onto his feet. He lunged at Ron landing a punch in his gut and another. Ron shoved Samuel with his knife hand, giving him a little scratch.

Sammy kicked Ron's knee, causing Ron's knee to give out beneath him and make him kneel down. Samuel dove for the knife again but Ron sliced towards him and cut his arm.

Sammy grasped his arm as felt the blood pour out of his arm. Ron stood up, tears in his eyes as he raised the knife over his head.

Sammy closed his eyes and turned away. This was it. This was the end of it. The end of the line for him.

"Oi fuckface!" Nico?!

Samuel opened his eyes in time to see Nico running up to Ron and punch him square in the face. The man stumbled back and helped in pain. Nico stood a few feet away with a smug smirk on his face. Ron looked up and glared at Nico

"Well, aren't you going to come and get me~?" Nico teased, angering Ron even more. The man raised the knife again and jumped at Nico. Without batting an eye Nico pulled a gun out from the waist of his pants in one swift move and shot Ron's knee, stopping him in his tracks and making him scream in pain.

"Aw come on~" Nico cooed. "Stand up Ron." A small pool of blood surrounded him. Nico aimed the gun at his knee again and shot him again. "I said stand up. Next time it'll be your other knee." Ron stumbled up, crying and groaning in pain. He put all his weight on his good leg and held onto the wall. "Good."

Nico walked over, gun still in his hand and he kicked the bleeding leg, making Ron fall back down. He shoved the gun back into the waistband of his pants and grabbed the man's hair and yanked him up. He then proceeded to slam Ron's face into the brick wall repeatedly. Several sickening cracks and crunches later, Samuel pulls Nico away from the corpse.

"Good job Nico..." Samuel pulled Nico up to his feet.

"Thank you."

"C'mon Nico. We better get our things ready and leave before someone notices." Samuel grabbed Nico's hand and started walking down the hall. The two rounded the corner and saw one of the nurses crying into a pay phone.

Nico ripped out the gun and shot the phone out of her hand and shot the nurse dead.

"Nico! We have to leave now!" Samuel screamed. Sammy pulled Nico into their room and threw bags at him, and pulled things out. "Okay here's the plan, you go get the car up and running I dispose of this place? Got it? Good." Samuel shoved Nico out the door while pulling out a lighter and a hammer.

"Sammy I'm not leaving you here!"

"I'll be fine just go!! I'll set this place on fire in no time just go!!"

"But Sammy-"

"GO NICO! GET TO THE CAR!" Sammy shrieked as he threw a backpack to him. The words echoed in his mind.

"GO NICO....Go....Nico.....go........"

The words faded as Nico bolted up right in his bed. He was covered in a cold sweat and was panting. He looked over and saw Samuel sleeping peacefully.

A dream. He was just dreaming..just dreaming of the day's earlier events. Nico glanced at the clock, it bright red numbers glowing in the pitch black room.

2:37 a.m.

Nico wiped his forehead and laid back down, and fell asleep again.
