Time Of Dying (MCR Black Parade)

5 An Old Enemy

Third Person POV

Gerard paced stressfully while he waited for the rest of the band to make their ways downstairs. He was just coming down from being in full panic mode and was still shaken at the events that just took place.

The first order of business would be to find where she is, then find out what her end goal is. And most importantly, finding a way to stop her and send her back to the Great Beyond. Would keeping her there even be possible? She managed to get out once, she could easily get out again.

Eventually the band burst through the door, almost instantly questioning their leader.

"What do you mean 11:34 escaped?!" Frank yelled. "Last time I checked no one could get out of there!"

"How'd she do it?" Ray asked Calmly, unlike Frank.

Gerard shrugged. "I don't know. After you guys left she attacked me and she froze the guards."

"Froze?" Mikey asked. "Like ice and shit?" He questioned.

"No like in time. She froze them in time." Gerard answered.

"Wait wait wait, froze time? What is she a fucking witch now?" Frank asked sarcastically.

"I don't know. I don't know how she got out or how she did it. But right now out first priority is finding her. Whatever she is planning, it can't be good." Gerard said the rest of them. For a moment everyone stayed silent. They all were shocked at the news, and since nothing remotely like this has happened before, they were all unsure about what was to be the outcome.

"Did anyone else get out?" Ray asked breaking the silence.

"I don't know that either. It's safe to say no one else got out, but to be sure I sent some guards to make sure." Gerard said as he crossed his arms.

"But I no that if we don't solve this soon, everything will go to hell."

3rd Person POV in The Great Beyond

"So, we know where she she stayed, and now that she's gone we can go there and not be stopped." Chris said as he and his friends made their way to the place that 11:34 called home while she was down here.

She like most people found an unoccupied nook in the rocks, and made it their "home". No one down their would call it home. People down their just barely got by with the small ounce of hope that one day they would be set free.

"What I'd we get there and find out that she didn't write anything down?" One of the group, Justin, asked. " Shes really smart, what of she knew that writing such important information down was a bad idea?"

Chris halted and turned to look at Justin. "That is definitely a possibility. But, we can't throw out the idea that she left something behind by mistake. We have been down here too long. After what they did to us we will explore every single possiblity, and we won't stop until we are out of here." Chris said coldly, just thinking about the band and how they cast him and his friends down here.

"Ok." Justin said calmly, you see, they're all used to Chris being a bit overdramatic.

They continued until they found the small hole in the rocks that they saw 11:34 enter and exit a few times. They only problem being, they entrance was rather small. So Chris, Justin, Balz, and Ryan, couldn't get in.

"God Damnit." The four of them said in unison.

"Ricky, Vinny, get in there." Chris said to the two shorter members.

Ricky entered silently, and Vinny let out a small giggle at the misfortune of the others.

Once they entered, they felt around the walls at the surprisingly large room. They couldn't see much of anything because of the lack of light that traveled down that far, but they could slightly see the outlines of the rocks surrounding them.

"Can you guys see anything?!" They heard Ryan shout at them.

"No! It's pretty much pitch black down here!" Vinny yelled back.

"Wait I've got it." Ricky said as he began to root through his pockets.

Eventually he pulled out an old cigarette lighter. Lighting it the inside of the room lit up, to reveal nothing but curses and threats scratched into the walls.

"They fucking lied."

"They aren't your friends."

"I did nothing wrong."

"I hate those bastards."

"I'm going to kill them all."

Ricky and Vinny looked at each other and back at the walls. They looked at them all trying to find anything that could help them. However they turned up short. They only thing on the walls that stuck out was a picture, crudely etched onto the furthest wall from the entrance.

It was a horrid picture of a skull or half decayed head. With spikes sticking into the eye sockets and entire sections of it missing.

Their best guess was that this is what she wants to do to the band.

They both looked at it in fear. They may not have realized just how dangerous she might be.

Ricky and Vinny were both fairly freaked out by what they found inside the cave, but soon they both felt a chill run down their spines. And a sudden breeze came through the cave, blowing the lighter out.

With that they both screamed and ran out as fast as they could. Both of the tripping over in the dark space.

"Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!!" They both screamed as they made their way out.

"What happened? What did you find?" Balz asked the two of them as they ran out of the cave, both trying to catch their breath.

"Nothing helpful. Nothing good." Vinny said as they both walked away from the rest of the group.

Ryan looked from them to Chris, "So, what now?" He asked.

Chris put his head in his hands, trying to think of what to do next. They're main hope just proved useless. He didn't know what their next move would be. Was hope lost now that they knew 11:34 didn't record her progress.

But he wasn't going to give up. He knew he had to find a way for him to get out of this hell. To get his friends out.

They all took part in the event that got them sent down here. But Chris knew that he was the one leading them, therefore he felt that he had to be the one to get them out.

And he would succeed, he had to.
