You can't spell slaughter without laughter!

It was bright by the time everyone had woken up.

But they had woken up far from anywhere familiar.

It looked like a classroom.

Tables had been scattered in a line at one side of the room. The black board had old class notes with the occassional white smudge made by the soft board erasor.

Posters made by students had been put up on the wall. One stood out from the rest for it's...unusual image. It was a red giraffe.

"Damn, why did you bring us here of all places!?" Jeff argued with Slender whilst the others made themselves comfortable on chairs or on the floor.

"Actually it was my idea!" Splendor joined in. "There are computers that we could use to find out information on some of Zalgo's army members!" He chuckled and looked at BEN.

"I see." Jeff replied sourly.

"I understand it's the last place you would like to be, but please, be patient, child." Slender spoke up.

"Well then, I'm guessing it's my job to go and do some hacking?" BEN poped his knuckles with a grin.

When it came to computers, there was nothing BEN couldn't do to get what he wanted. Which made him a perfect member.

"Yes. Please hurry."

"Right-o!" BEN disappeared.

Jeff began to pace around the room while Slender began to draw his signature sign on many pieces of paper. The O's were sloppy and the X's were uneven.

Jane began tapping her heels on the tile floor, making things that much more tense.

Soon, everyone was buisily fidgeting around, unable to sit still.

"Urch, will you all stop that and talk or something!?" Sally clawed at her hair angrily.

Masky signed in his mask and handed her a Slender doll.

It had been something he made when Slender had been buisy stalking him. Before he ever recieved the mask and became a killer.

Sally, being her ill-tempered self, threw away the doll and stomped off.

"I'm looking around! I'm not staying with a bunch of freaks!"

However, Sally silently wished she was less violent with her temper and had stayed with the others.

Her bare feet felt cold as she walked down the empty school corridor.

"Stupid freaks! Stupid Zalgo! Stupid Sam!" Sally muttered under her breath. "Where are you!?"

.

It was late in the morning when Sam finally woke up.

It seemed she had been moving around a lot, because the bed sheets had fallen off the bed, and the pillow had been teared appart.

Sam sighed at the sight and went to find Aika.

Knowing her, the little albino would probably be goofing off somewhere in the attic.

"Ohayo, ane-san!" Aika greeted with her innocent smile.

"Yeah, hi! Whatever the fuck you just said..." Sam shook her head and joined her on the piled up boxes.

What was she going to do now that the others were gone?

She knew most of them had survived the fire. They weren't that weak.

But where were they?

What was she going to do? Continue her stupid life journey trying to find her 'father' so she could murder him?

Sam shook her head again.

"So, are you going to tell me what this deal is?" Aika asked in the stillness of the attic room.

Taking a deep breath, Sam chose her words carefully.

"I want you to help me track down someone. Like, get information."

"Hmmm? And what's in it for me?" Aika asked with a flicker of exitement in her eyes.

"In return, I'll help you find your parent's grave."

The room was quiet for a while.

It was obvious Aika was considering.

Her parents had played a serious part in her...unstable mental issues, exactly like Sam.

The girl chewed on her thumb, her rabbit being crushed under her arm.

"And who is it I'm tracking down here?" Aika asked suspiciously.

"Stitches."
