When the mascots reached zero and announced they were coming the whole restaurant fell on complete silence.
Cedric was hidden under the table. The dirty white cloth brushed the floor, concealing him. It made no difference if his eyes were open or closed it was pitch black under the table.
Cedric was on his hands and knees, his back nearly brushing the bottom of the table.
He didn't want to touch it there was mostly gums stuck under it. His pulse was racing, his throat dry from all the suspense.
He heard no mascots creak through the hallway suggesting they might be looking into another room or looking for him.
a loud noise was heard over another room, like chairs being thrown and scooted all over the floor and a loud mascots roar can be heard.
Cedric took that cue for him to look around for any clues. He came out of the table and started to search for anything suspicious.
Then he saw a large banner on the ceiling supposedly hang on the ceiling but now one tack is keeping it in the ceiling and the other was brushing the floor.
He tore down posters to look for some holes or hidden doorway to end up with nothing.
he turned to another wall and ripped some more to end up with nothing.
When he ranned into the hanging banner his right foot stepped on it and pulled the tack from the ceiling
On instict he let out a yelp of surprise as the banner ripped from the ceiling. Taking a chunk of plaster in it.
It crashed down infront of Cedric who held up his hands in defense and backed up "Damn it" he said quietly.
Another roar came from another room adjacent to Cedric. Then thumping footsteps coming from the room he was in.
Cedric cursed under his breath and moved a chair away and slid under the table. He saw a hole in the table cloth so he peeked through it.
Then at the right timing another mascot dashed inside the room. Its jaw was hanging open showing it's sharp teeth.
glowing amber eyes from the mascot swept across the room.
The mascot walked up to the nearest table it could see. And with such crazy strength, ripped the entire cloth off and flipped over the table.
The table landed on the ground with a loud slam scattering dirts everywhere.
As the dust settled Cedric felt like a rock had form on his stomach two more tables and he would be uncovered.
If the mascot can flip over tables with such an easy way he couldn't imagine how his death would be.the stone in his stomach seems to grow.
Robbi. he thought as the mascot flipped another table.i love you.
The mascot flipped the third table this made Cedric tremble. He went to the opposite side where the mascot was and looked for any escape.
a secret small passage door on the ground. Cedric couldn't help but smile. He thought that when the mascot lift his table he would jumped into the passage way quickly.
The mascot's footsteps was drawing nearer. He ripped the cloth on the table and begun to flip it
Without a second, Cedric bolted to the small passage way, sprinting as fast as his leg could carry him.
He risked a glance over his shoulder as the table hit the floor with a bang. The mascot's amber eyes landed on the small passage way
Cedric was half way through the end of the passage way. Just a little further...
He felt the eyes of the mascot landed on him and a roar echoed through the room. The mascot found him.
Cedric made it through the wall and grabbed the end of it to pull himself out. His heart was hammering through his chest.
As he crouched down and wriggle into the entrance. Triumph flooded him as he crawled in.
...Only to be replaced by absolute terror as his ankle was gripped by a cold, metallic hand.
he was then pulled back to the same room where the table was landed in the floor. He could tell the mascot was smiling with glee.
the mascot's amber eyes meets Cedric's hazel ones. He then started to runned out of the exit of the room to be in a long hallway.
he then realized that his ankle was bloody for now since the mascot's sharp metallic hand had clawed it but he pushed himself to run faster.
he then meet up to the room where the whole crazy game had started he saw the merry-go-round at the middle and a room to the left.
he veered into the left while the mascot was chasing his tail he then entered the room with more tables.
He then hidden himself behind tons of boxes at the very back of the room.
just in time as the mascot went inside the room and scanned all of it. The mascot then flipped over the table thinking Cedric would be there.
Cedric then stayed behind the boxes thinking that the mascot will keep flipping table thinking he would be there but nothing and the mascot will just get bored and leave.
