The Undead

Chapter 7: Curtain Call

I stood up with Tucker and Ashley and looked at them. I folded up the paper and put it in my pocket.
"Come on. We gotta get out of here" I said to them.
"How are we gonna get past them all? There could be hundreds of the Army outside" Ashley said, worried.
Damn it, she was right. I tried thinking of a solution.
Bam, I got it.
"This bar down here isn't any different than the one from the restaurant. Clarice's pawn shop looked the same, as well as Dylan's casino. It has the exact same layout, trust me, I had to go through the Keeper's bar everyday to get to my office when the restaurant was active. My point is, there should be a back exit" I said.
Then I heard a loud crash. The Army had knocked over the door and piled inside.
"Well we better find it" Tucker said, forming a sword to hold them off. I lifted my hand, and Raven flew right into it.

Ok look, I know that I'm in a life or death situation right now, but I just can't get over how cool that axe is. Ok, back to the story.

I bolted out of this part of the bar, rushing past some bathrooms and the usual rooms you'd expect in a bar, and I found this huge metal gate esque door. If I'm right, there should be a keypad somewhere and yeah, I was right. Oh fuck, I don't remember it.
Ashley and Tucker came next to me. "Marcie, you better hurry" Tucker shouted, as the Army came flooding in behind them.
I tried remembering what it was but I couldn't.
"4927" A female voice played through my head. I didn't recognize the voice, but I didn't have time to question it. I typed the code in as fast as I could and the gate door opened. We went through the opening, and then I slashed the code pad with the axe, immediately causing the door to slam shut, trapping the army inside.
We entered into another barrage of long corridors, but we weren't being chased this time so we could just walk here. Finally. We slowly trudged our way down the long corridors, when I heard Ashley speak. "So you think Ellie is down here?" She asked me.
"I don't know. But there's gotta be a reason why her missing poster showed up in my hands right after the vision" I told her.
"Ok, but everyone else in this place is dead. It's been 15 years since she went missing, how do you know she's still alive?" She asked.
"I don't, but there's no way to be sure" I said to her. "When she went missing, I promised Michael that I would do whatever it took to find his wife. So that's what I'm doing"

Yeah, remember Michael from earlier? The one that got snatched out of the security room up in the restaurant? Yeah he's married to Ellie.

"Well we're gonna help you" Ashley told me.
"Good" I said. "Nice to know you guys have my back, because I got yours" I said.
"We appreciate that" Tucker said.
"Ok, before you go off and write a billet-doux about me, can we get moving? We still gotta find a way out of here as well, but that's after we find Ellie" I said to them.
"Well let's just go until we find something" Ashley said.

And that's what we did. We walked through the hallways, until we came across something. We came across another metal gate door. This time, it didn't need a code or a lever, it opened up right as we walked close to it. I had a feeling that wherever we were going, it wasn't good. Because I recognized it.

Mother Undead's Theater.

Well it wasn't a literal theater, it was a stage with tables looking at it. It was like a mini restaurant all for herself. We just called it a theater. But it was pretty big. We entered the theater and couldn't see shit. Well we could, but the lights were shut off and we just had the light from the hallway to see. But then the door shut. Well we might be screwed. The lights to the stage cut on and Josephine appeared on stage, sitting in a throne of sorts. The Keeper was standing beside it. Josephine sat up in the chair.
"You made us to entertain adults, but it's ironic how your reign is gonna end by the hands of the characters you worked so desperately hard to create" She taunted.
"My reign? What are you talking about?" I asked.
"DON'T play foolish with me, Marcie. You're the creator, you made this place. Now we have to kill you" She responded.
"T-.....that doesn't even make sense, that's not telling me what you mean by "my reign", but honestly, why do you hate me so much? I haven't been to the restaurant in 15 years-"
"That's the problem. You left, and abandoned us" Keeper said to me.
"Abandoned you? I didn't have a choice. The restaurant shut down, I had to leave"
"But you forgot us, forever" Josephine said. "But the worst thing of all? You trusted HIM"
She growled.
"Who's 'him'?" I asked.
"The Scar Man" She responded.
