The storm continues at full force, Sadie, Amethyst and James stayed together as they walked through a bigger room full of dolls and puppets. Amethyst goes behind a box, leans over to peak around, using a spot of light from her gem to help the view, while James inspects an empty aisle.
Sadie: "Lapis? Ronaldo?"
She whispers, keeping her crowded bar close to her.
James: "They aren't here, we've searched this entire room."
Amethyst: "You don't think they..."
James shook his head.
James: "No, they aren't "gone" gone...I hope...
Sadie: "If they aren't here, then..."
They then hear a noise coming from a door they didn't see before.
James: "That looks like it leads to a basement..."
Sadie gives a shuddering moan as they all kept their weapons ready.
Opening the door, they see a long staircase leading down from it. The three begin walking down the rusty steps as Amethyst keeps her gem to provide light as James leads them down the stairs.
Sadie: "James?"
James: "Yeah?"
He asked as they walked down the steps.
Sadie: "I...I'm sorry about Lapis..."
James could only sigh.
James: "I know Sadie, it isn't your fault."
He said as they continued until they reached the bottom.
Amethyst: "Hope this ain't a dead end..."
James then noticed an electric generator sits nearby.
He walks over to it and pressed a few buttons to start it, as lights above them turn on to reveal they were in a room full of broken dolls dangling on strings.
James: "Oh my...."
Sadie: "Aw jeez, why must there be more?"
She shudders again, seeing all of their creepy eyes watching them.
Huddled behind Amethyst, Sadie peeks out, looks around, and immediately smiled.
Sadie: "Oh, well, our friends aren't here."
She started backing away towards the steps.
Sadie: "Let's quickly go back up and see if they-"
James puts a hand on her shoulder and yanks her back as she voices a terrified little squeal.
James: "Not yet, we have to face the monster!"
Be whispers to her.
Sadie: "S-Sorry James, this freaky room is getting to me..."
Amethyst: "This way guys."
She said as they continued on, Sadie's steps illuminated by the light of Amethyst's glowing gem. Suddenly a dark shape, resembling a toy with glowing red eyes, runs across her, the high-strung girl shrieks and swings her crow bar toward it, making it fly across the room, surprising James and Amethyst.
Amethyst: "Girl, what is it?"
Sadie: "Over there! One of the dolls just came to life!"
She pointed over to what looks like a baby doll with a broken face as James walks over to it and picks it up.
