*Jake's Pov*

Her eyes...

Where are her eyes?!!!

They're Not There!!!!

What The Hell?!!

She then whispered one word that will haunt me...for the rest of my life.

"DIE..."

Suddenly, the woman started cackling and raised the pickaxe...at me!!!

OH FUCK!

As usual, someone was trying to kill us! What did we do wrong to deserve this?!!

With that, my instincts to do only thing.

I turned to my siblings who also had looks on horror as the eyeless woman charged at me.

Me: GUYS....RUN!!!

We ran away from the psycho woman who begin screaming profanities we couldn't nor bother to understand.

We each took a turn left and headed north back up from the caverns all the way towards the railroad tracks as the woman was hot on our trail.

Melody: She's gaining on us!

Tommy: H-How do we lose her?!

I looked around for anything that could us.

All I can see as we were running were more railroad tracks and mine carts.

Wait...

That's it!

Me: Guys! Followed me!

Not bothering with their confusion, my siblings followed me towards a couple of mine carts. All three of us hid behind one of them.

Me: Okay...here's the plan...

*A few moments later*

*Third's Pov*

The eyeless woman continuing to follow the siblings hot on their trail. She couldn't see them but she could hear them.

Kill.

Kill.

Kill.

She needed to kill them!

Kill them all!

Kill them all!

For the sake of this town!

Kill them so they can all be free from all this suffering! That is the only way to escape this hell!

Woman: Kill! Kill! Kill!

Things suddenly went quiet as she looked around and stopped her murderous rampage. Confused, despite not being able to see. She tried to feel for their movements or hear their voices.

She then managed to hear something or someone nearby.

Her smile turned wicked as she followed the voices and charged when she heard them really close by.

Woman: DIE! DIE! DIE!

Jake: Now!

Pushing the mine cart, which were light enough for them to move, the siblings got it off the railroad tracks, it soon fell onto the woman's body. She pet out a scream as she felt the weight onto her preventing her for moving anymore.

She started waving her arms and the pickaxe trying to hit something.

Tommy: Whoa!

Jake: Get out of the way!

Jake pulled his brother aside from getting hit as they stared at the deranged woman who continued shouting "DIE!" Or "Die For This Town!".

Jake: Crazy Ass Bitch...

Melody: That cart won't hold her for long.

Jake: Yeah. Let's get out of here...

They all ran away from the woman as she carry on with her bloodcurdling screams.

Tommy: *Shudders* That was scary...Right Barry.

The teddy bear still didn't say a word but Tommy believed it had agreed with him.

Melody fought the urge to roll her eyes at her younger broyher before looking back at the eldest.

Melody: So what now?

Jake: Leaving these mines. That's what now. I think there's an exit nearby. We better tell Dudley and Tessa what we saw.

However...before they could leave, they saw someone near the exit of the caverns.

Jake: Old Lady...?

Howie's Grandmother had appeared out of nowhere once again and she looks down at the kids with an emotionless expression.

Old Lady: What are you kids still doing here? I thought I told you all to leave...

Melody: We can't! We tried that a bunch of times already! But the exits are blocked by giant scorpions and spiders! There's also no cars or trucks to help us escape...

Old Lady:....Tomorrow. I want you guys to go see Howie. He'll tell you how to escape.

Jake: (Howie. But I thought he said he can't help us...)

Old Lady:  I believe he hasn't told you all everything. After my grandson will explain thigns. For now on. You kids have to help yourselves if you want to leave. Stick together til the end.

Jake: Help...?

Melody: Help Yourselves...?

Tommy:....

Old Lady: In other words, stop expecting help that won't come. You're on your own.

It's survival of the fittest.

Siblings:.......

Jake and the others watched as she leave away from the exit. Confused, Jake walked towards the exit and his eyes went wide.

Jake: No....

Giant scorpions and spiders were blocking their path as well. Not just them as well...poisonous rattlesnakes had also appeared there as well.

Melody: Are you kidding me...?!

Tommy: B-But this... could've been our only way out!!!

Jake:...Let's go back for now.

Listening to the eldest. The Parker Siblings tried to catch up to Howie's Grandmother but she had vanished. So they went back towards the secret passageway to when they first got there.

Jake, Melody, and Tommy begin to walked up the ladder. But little did they know, someone was waiting for them!

Jake: What the-?!

Melody: What are you doing!

Tommy: S-Stop that hurts!

Policeman: Shut up. Don't move a muscle. You're all under arrest for several legal offenses! One of them involves stealing!

Jake:....(Fuck! That damn store owner ratted us out!)

Melody: (No...No! I don't want to go to jail!)

Tommy started crying until the policeman.

Policeman: SHUT UP YOU LITTLE SHIT! NOW FOLLOW ME! ALL OF YOU OR ELSE I WILL SHOOT.

With being held at gunpoint, the siblings were forced to follow the Policeman back to the police station.

*Later*

Jake and Tommy were now in a cell locked up with Melody taken to the interrogation room for questioning.

Jake: Let us out already! We didn't do anything! I told ya I have paid what we own!

Tommy: Please let us out! We didn't do anything wrong!

Policeman: I said shut up! Stop acting so innocent! You all will holed up here for a while! So get comfortable~!

Jake: You can't leave us locked in here, jerk and release my sister!

Policeman: You can't change what I do. Speak again and I will be filling your entire body with lethal concert. I'll be seeing to your sister immediately. I need to see through the database on what to do with you all~!

The policeman walked away to the interrogation room.

Jake: That man...He must be in charge of interrogate...is it possible...he's the one who caused all those beatings
...the blood...and the teeth...to all those victims...?

Tommy: *Crying* H-He took Barry too. Saying a criminal like me don't deserve him. W-What do we do now Jake...I can't face another nightmare away from Barry.

Jake: Hold on little bro. Don't worry. We're not spending the night in a cell or staying here another day. Just let me think for a moment...Hmm...

He then noticed the keys were nearby on a desk. But they were far out of reach.

Jake: I might have another idea ohow to get us out but the question is...How are we going to get those cell keys....?

??: Hey! Jake!

Jake: That voice!

Jake: Dudley!

From the bar doors outside the window where they were holed up at, outside the window was Dudley and Tessa.

Tessa: Oh thank goodness! You guys are safe! We begin to worry when you didn't return back to motel.

Dudley: Are you guys alright?

Jake: Yeah...We seen better days.

Tommy: W-We got arrested...and they took Melody and Barry! We have to help them.

Dudley: Okay. We'll find a way to get you out!

Tessa: Just hold on!

Jake: Okay...Just please...

Dudley: Do you know what we can do? Got any ideas.

Jake made a smirk. He turned to the keys. Oh he had a good idea.

*Meanwhile*

In the interrogation room, the policeman Melody hostage and away from her brothers.

Melody: I keep telling you! My brothers and I are innocent!

Policeman: You're lying! Ever since you brats came into town! You all have been nothing but suspecious! Plus we got witness accounts against you!

Melody: Please...just leave us alone!

Policeman: That depends on what you say!

Melody:....

Policeman: Now...Does anyone know you kids arrived here in Dustville.

Turning desperate, Melody tried to conjured up a fib that they're parents could be waiting for them.

Melody: Y...Yes...I believe our parents know...They must be waiting for us.

However, the cop didn't believe her.

*PUNCH*

Melody: AHHHH!

He punched her across the face making her fall to the ground. Her glasses fell off her face as she held the bruise on her cheek.

Policeman: You lied! Witnesses claim they saw you three arrived on foot!

He then grabbed her by her neck, almost powerful enough to snap it.

Policeman: Ya know. I hate when people deceive me. Especially kids. So I teach arrogant brats like you a lesson. Whether they like it or not~!

He then looked at Melody up and down before he sadistically licked his lips.

Melody's eyes went wide in horror as tears rip up in anguish with what he said next that raised alarm bells in her head.

Policeman: You have such beautiful
...soft skin~!
