"We completed your challenges. Leave and let us go!" I yell at the psycho.

"That's where you're wrong, Grayson Dolan." The psycho begins to walk down the steps. "You may have completed the challenges, but you ran out of time on your last challenge and completed it after time expired. And I said you had until midnight to complete the challenges, did I not?" He steps onto the concrete floor of the warehouse.

Ethan and I nod our heads in response to the question.

"That's what I thought." The psycho continues. "But, I will still give you the option to escape the nightmare that I've made for you. Win one final challenge and you will be set free."

"Okay, what's the challenge?" Ethan asks.

"Best me in a fight." The psycho answers. "Two against one. You can take me."

Ethan and I look at each other and nod. Meaning that we both agree to fighting. We raise our fists.

"Oh, you thought this was gonna be a fist fight." The psycho throws two switchblades on the ground in front of us. "This is a fight to the death." He pulls out his own switchblade and flicks it out. We do the same with ours.

We circle around each other for a good minute before someone makes the first move. The psycho lunges at me and I duck out of the way. I swing at the psycho's leg but he dodges. He's quick on his feet.

Ethan swings at the psycho from behind and manages to cut his shoulders. The psycho doesn't even scream in pain. He turns to look at Ethan. I sweep his legs when he isn't looking and he falls hard on his back.

E and I take our chance and run from the psycho. We run up the stairs to the deck overlooking the foam pit. The psycho gets up quick and chase us. He has us cornered now. Great! What did we just get ourselves into?

"Real smart." The psycho says sarcastically. "Corner yourselves and put me in the perfect position to kill both of you."

This time, I make the first move and stab at the psycho's face. The blade bounces off the mask and goes flying out of my hand and into the foam pit. The psycho kicks me in the stomach. I stumble backwards over the balcony and into the foam pit. The psycho throws Ethan out of his away, obviously content on finishing me. Ethan drops his knife. The psycho raises his knife above his head, prepared to throw it at me. I try to scramble away but the foam makes it hard to move.

Ethan jumps on the psycho's back as he throws the knife. It misses me and sticks into a block of foam. Ethan struggles with the psycho, managing to hold on with all the thrashing that the psycho's doing. The psycho bucks Ethan into the wooden railing on the balcony and Ethan loses his grip. The psycho turns and punches Ethan in the face twice before E manages to land a punch to the psycho's face. The mask splits in half with one half landing on the ground and the other staying on the psycho's face.

"Oh my God!" Ethan says just before he's kicked in the stomach, causing the wood to break and splinter which in turn causes Ethan to fall off the balcony and onto the concrete floor.

"NO!" I scream as I watch my brother fall.
