Lights out

Chris' POV

Matt slowly opened the door taking a peek inside before nodding his head at us, signalling us to follow him. I took Dani and Ash's hand as we all walked into the apartment building. My stomach was doing flips, I was so scared but also determined to go through with this.

"The apartment has two sections. This is the normal part. So he must be in the downstairs." Matt whispered loud enough for us to hear. The small apartment was nearly dark except for a few candles lit around the living area.  Matt lead us to the what seemed like the laundry room and opened a door. On the other side of the door was another hallway.

"So he's at the end?" I asked. Matt simply nodded biting his lip. He must be scared to see Kuza. I tried comforting him by rubbing his shoulder and it worked a bit because his shoulders relaxed.

"Let's go" Ash and Dani both whispered.

As we made our way down the hall, my heart started to go at an even faster pace. Ricky, we're almost there.

We finally made it to the door and I reached out to turn the handle and push the door slowly open. We were greeted with nothing but darkness. We were hesitating to go inside for a bit when suddenly a single light flickered on and in the center of said light sat a trembling Ricky. His hands were tied behind his back, sitting Indian style and chain and collar still around his neck.  He was only wearing a pair of black boxer briefs and a loose fitting black shirt. He wasn't moving.

I was so tempted to just run up to him but this all seemed suspicious. Almost like it was a set up.

"Hold on...Guys something doesn't seem right." I muttered. Almost instantly, loud shrieks could be heard from behind us making me turn immediately. I was greeted by the same skinny man from the last time I saw Ricky. But his hair was black now. He was again hanging from the ceiling with an almost maniacal grin dancing across his lips.

He had Ash and Dani by their hair and the two girls kept trying to escape from his grip.

"Let them go!" I shouted but the man just chuckled loudly.

"Rem! Save some for the rest of us." A woman appeared from behind Rem and he quickly let go of the girls. The two rushed over to our group hiding behind me.
The woman smirked as she stood next to Rem who jumped from the ceiling and landed on his feet.

It was the same white haired woman from before. Francesca I think. She crossed her arms across her chest looking at us individually.
Then her eyes landed on Matt.

"Well look what we have here. A stray kitty. I thought Kuza got rid of you Matty." She giggled as Matt's grip on my hand tightened.

"You can't get rid of what wasn't yours in the first place.." I looked down at Matt who had a sad but angry expression on his face.
Francesca just shrugged and pointed towards us.

"Whatever. Get him!" Before any of us could react I heard a terrible shriek come from the room behind us. Ricky. I turned to see a tall slender man that didnt look like a normal human being...Well neither do I. But that's besides the point. This man just looked like something out of a nightmare. His face was pale, he had dark circles around his eyes and I couldnt tell what color his eyes were because they were covered by black sclera lenses. He had a two black dots under his left eye and what looked like a cross under the other. His skin was black from the neck down and he was in an all black attire. A purple and black headdress covered the top of his long black hair. 

An evil smirk danced across his black lips as he was crouched by Ricky, running a long black finger down his cheek. I could hear Ricky whimpering and my heart felt heavy.
