Rowan heaved as the three ran down the hallway. Blinking as the red lights swivelled into their sight every few seconds.

"Guys.. I can't run any further!" Sarah gasped, slowing down.

Rowan and Jade stopped, turning around, "sarah, you can't stop." Jade spoke.

"But.. I'm... Tired.. Running in real life.. Is harder then the video game."

"Everything is harder then the video game." Rowan mumbled.

"Have you ever played Zelda Majora's Mask, that shit is actually pretty hard."

"What ever, you can't just stop," Rowan went on, "Katy could come down here, any moment now."

"That's not important." Sarah went on, shaking her head, "ZMM is a very frustrating game. And unless you've played it you don't understand. THERE IS A TIME LIMIT!"

"THERE IS A TIME LIMIT NOW!!"

"WE ARENT TALKING ABOUT NOW, NURSE LADY WHOS NAME I HAVE ALREADY FORGOTTEN! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ZELDA LIKE THAT!" Sarah screamed, her deep voice booming down the empty hallways.

Now Rowan's turn to scream she went on to yell about how real like and Zelda video games weren't the same thing, making sarah roll her eyes dramatically.

"I NEVER SAID IT WAS! I WAS JUST SAYING ITS HARDER TO PLAY THAT GAME THEN TO ACTUALLY LIVE!!!" Sarah yelled.

"she has a point." Jade shrugged.

"See, she agrees with me." Sarah and Rowan said at the same time, their head snapping back at each other. Both their blue eyes narrowing into slits as they stood with hands at their sides; balled into fists. Looking like the tow of them would walk in two different directions, then spin around with guns pointed at each other.

"I'm not agreeing with either of you," Jade shook her head, "geometry dash is by far the hardest game."

"What!?" Sarah gasped, her eyes the size of golfballs.

"Geometry dash is highly irrelevant to real life." Rowan said shaking her head, "and Alien Isolation is hardest."

"What!? No!! AI ain't even that hard!" Sarah cut in, shaking her head. Her brown hair flying in the air, "ZMM!!"

"No!! An ALIEN drops out of the ceiling ducts!" Rowan fought back.

"'Scuse me? Nuh UH, IN GEOMETRY DADH LITTLE SQUARES GET STABBED AND BASICALLY BLOW UP." Jade fought.

The trio went on, yelling at each other that none of them heard the banging sound coming from the vents above them. Every one of them were certain that the game they where arguing over was the hardest of the three, and the were determined that it was; so much to the fact that the entire building was engulfed in their yelling.

Suddenly Rowan stopped, her mouth hung open as she stared at them. "Ha! I won." Sarah laughed, Jade going on to say that she didn't.

"Help.." Rowan choked, the sound of something hitting the ground sounding behind her.

Sarah and Jade silenced, seeing the porcelain leg on the ground as well as some blood polling on the tiles under Rowan's feet.

"Katy.." Jade gasped.

Katy had came through the ceiling duct and brought a chunk of a mirror down with her, cutting it deep into Rowan's back; as the girls soon found out when Rowan's body hit the ground crying. Rowan wasn't dead, nor was she close. It would take her about an hour or two to bleed out. Aria stood there, her face still missing the eyeball. Covered in blood and dirt, wearing the dress Aria put her in a few days ago.

"Hello, girls~" the doll croaked, "can I have a hug?"

This was now the second time Rowan say Katy, staring down her body at the doll as its legs walked towards the twins. It's arms moved robotically, up and down in different directions. It's metal wind up spinning on the back of her neck as if somebody wound her up.

Rowan could just see her out of the corner of her eye, watching as the doll headed towards the two girls. Until it stopped, it's movement ended and her head turned choppily to meet Rowan's gaze.

Rowan knew what was going to happen, her body began to shake, yet she was unable to get up. "No... No please, Girls! Help me!" She screamed as the doll began waking towards her, the mirror shard in her specially shaped hand.

"I'm sorry.." Jade and Sarah whispered, remembering what Aria told them. And they took off around the doll and Rowan's helpless body.

Running down the halls of the asylum screaming. The two ducked into a doorway, the room was cold and dark. No light switch to be found. Rowan's screams where heard from down the hall.

Her helpless body laying in the hallway, staring at the doll as it came closer and closer. Melodic music playing out of it somewhere, some speaker that must be on her back or something. Her screams began to louden when the mirror impaled her eyeball. Cutting right through her iris and pupil. The quenching sound of her eyeball being crushed squished out, her eye already bleeding and swelling. In too much pain to even cry.

Those where the screams Jade and Sarah heard in the room they where in. The screams that sounded some crying in the room, and the crying made the two girls realize.. They weren't the only two in the room.

The red emergency lights shine in a circular motion in this area two, giving them a little bit of time to look around. The twins realized they where in a gymnasium. The painted lines on the wooden floor light up every time that light would scan across the room like the scanner at a grocery store in your home town, every time you went to buy your junk.

The gym lines weren't the only things that light up. Some equipment along the walls light up with a red haze, there was also four other doors; two change rooms and a equipment room that probably held more items for the gym. The girls knew they where change rooms because it said.

The names of the rooms where written on gold plates above the doors, but there was no name above the boy huddled in the corner of the gym rocking and crying; staring up at the duo in horror.
