"I tried giving her all the reasons not to enter  but she won't listen to me" Red said to Rachael.

"Oh my God, no, It's too dangerous! Lydia!" She screamed.

"Stop" Red ducked her back to his hiding place by grabbing her.

"What're you doing?!" She fought to let loose.

"If you scream, it'll only make it more dangerous for her" he explained and Rachael quickly lowered herself to the ground, as she understood what Red meant.

She didn't need to touch her forehead. One, it was already hurting and she didn't want to add to it by touching were was hurting her and secondly, she could feel the warm trickle of blood oozing out of it.

She was dazed, but kept on helping herself up the ground, running. She was seated on the floor, her legs were stretched out and both her hands were supporting her to run.

"My...my...my. I must say, I'm impressed. How you solved the riddle, I'd never know" he said hitting the metal rod on his right hand softly and pacing slowly towards her. He could see her fear and it entertained him. "I can see your friends didn't come along un?" He smirked, then smirked even widely as her back hit the wall, indicating she could not go any further.

"Why?" He watched her open her mouth in horror and spoke. "You. You're Brian's murderer!" She spat out.

"I'm even more impressed that you're talking at your point of death" he grinned at her.

"How dare you kill Brian?!" She spat out.

"Inquisitive aren't you? Be patient darling, I'll tell you the full story" he turned back to grab something to sit on and Lydia used that as an opportunity to grab a rod she's been eyeing on the floor and raised at him. But he quickly grabbed her before she had the chance to use the rod and flung her to the wall, making her wail in pain.

"Try something foolish one more time and I'll kill you and feed you to the birds!" He thundered and Lydia obediently sat down on the floor.

"Now, where was I?" He took a chair and sat down on it in a comfortable posture.
