Fran's POV
"Fran, can you come clean the counter for me please." Mr.Cake said grabbing a towel from one of the racks nearby.
"Yes coming." I said annoyed walking to the kitchen. "I'm gonna go check on the cookies." He said turning his back to the oven. As I was cleaning the kitchen a bit. I grabbed a frying pan & hit him over the head with it.With him laying there, the oven was still on & the cakes were still baking so......
I lifted him & carried him into the oven. I walked away with him screaming as he was being baked alive.

Mae's POV
"What do we do now?" Adrian said sitting down next to me & Autumn . "I don't know." I said with my head in my hands.
"I need to go think." I said walking away from the group. "Mae don't act like this." Dana said as she puts a hand on my shoulder. "I'm not.....I'm fine Thanks." I said walking down the hallway to the next room. It was a candy trail leading to the kitchen. "Guys I found something." I said turning back to the group. "It's a candy trail that's cool." Angela said we started to follow it. "Collin?! wat...Why?!" Dana said almost falling over as Collin started to eat the trail. "I eating the candy what does it look like." He said mouth full of candy & other sweets. "Yeah I'm hungry." I said crawling on the floor to join him. "Why the hell did we get ourselves into." Dana mutter under her breath as went to the kitchen. When we walked in there was a huge cake beefy man-thing standing behind the counter. He basically looked like a big globe of dough that haven't been baked in weeks. Our eyes lit up as we saw the kitchen stocked up with everything you can think of. 

Candy & A lot of baked goods. "Stop! stop No don't eat everything." We all stopped as we heard a voice coming from the counters. It was the baker. He looked at me widen eyed. My ears tingled with a bad feeling. A feeling that gave me chills up & down my spine. So I pulled Adrian from the group to talk. "I've got a bad feeling about this dude." I said softly. "Well maybe he can help us." She said putting her hand on my shoulder. "I don't know...I guess." I said nervously with my ears drooping a bit. "Ok well if he does something...will you protect me?" I said as I looked up at her with my puppy dog eyes. "Always... If we look after one another to get the hell out of here." She said pulling me in for a hug. "Thanks." I said as we returned to the group. "So what were you guys talking about?" Angela asked as the whole group looked at us. "Oh it was nothing. It was nothing really." I said nudging Adrian with my arm. "It's was totally nothing we swear." She said laughing nervously.
"Are you the baker?" Dana said looking at the puddle of skin now sitting on the counter. "Yes I am..how did you know?" He said as Fran handed him a meat cleaver. "Excuse me.....But how did you end up like this?" Angela asked because her & Dana were asking all the questions at this point. " 30 years ago I was hit over the head with a frying pan & put in that oven over there." He said as he pointed to the other oven in the kitchen. "Oh Hell no." Collin said eating more sweets on the counter. "Fun." I say nervously again. "My challenge is for you is the replicate this recipe of chocolate cake. "Oh that's easy enough." I say looking at Dana calmly.
Team 1: Dana, Collin, & Angela
Team 2: Mae, Adrian, & Autumn
"Now you will have 30 minuets to make this recipe & if you don't complete it before this tiny hour glass is full. Two will be voted into the final death, Good Luck." The baker said turning the hour glass upside down. "Oh shit we better get started." I said grabbing a big sack of flour from the lower shelf. "Lots of Butter...Lots of Butter! AhhhahAhhh!" Collin said as he fell over hold a big tub butter as It poured into the floor. "Collin hand me the cocoa powder." Angela said quickly grabbing a bowl. Meanwhile Adrian, Autumn & I were freaking the fuck out because it was 23 minutes til the sand went down. Once the hour glass ran out everyone put down what they used to begin judging. "Ok let's start with time one. The baker said as he waddled over to Dana's team. "Very chocolatey, It seems to have a lot of butter. But I like it." He said with a huge line across his face that looked like a smile. Then he tasted our brownies. " Eww the hell THESE have a little after taste." As soon as he said that. A green liquid came dripping from his mouth. "We won't be voting this time." I said. "Dana take everyone to the lounge I'll be there soon." I said as everyone else headed for the door. "You think you can protect your friends forever don't you Mae?" Fran said as she was on the ground sobbing. (because nobody cares cause she murdered 2 of my friends honestly.) "Come on Mae last get out of here." Adrian said as I held onto her hand tightly. Then suddenly a crazed maniac psycho man came in out of nowhere & shot Fran in the chest she died instantly. Then he pointed the gun at Adrian. I paused but was thinking fast. "Oh look the little asshole is scared because she doesn't know rather to save her best friend oooohhh." The man said teasingly. I was sweating thinking "What do I do.....what do I do!?" "Stop!" I screamed then dove in front of her. Then there was a sudden.
"Pop."
Everything went black for just a moment. Then as I was trying to opened my eyes I felt this sharp pain in my stomach. Soon enough I realized that I've been shot.

"Mae?....What the hell.....why did you do this to yourself?" An echoey voice said getting loud as the sound grew closer. Once I opened my eyes that voice was Adrian's. "Let me give you an ace bandage." She said as I started to cough up blood. "Ok but am I going to die?" I said. "I don't know but if you do we can always bring you back remember?" She said. grabbing my hand to help me sit up off the floor. "Why did you do that exactly." Adrian asked me wrapping the wound. "Because I didn't want you to die." I say. All of a sudden we hear a big crashing sound. "I'm back Bitches! You miss me?" Tim yelled as he & Dana burst through the door. "Ok what the hell happened to Mae?" Dana said as they run over to us still sitting on the floor & hugged us both. "A man shot the maid.....she's dead, then pointed the gun at me." Adrian said resting my head on her shoulder. "Soo Mae was basically protecting you?" Tim said. "Yep." I said now trying to get up from the floor but I was still to weak & I was loosing my balance a little. "You want me to carry you?" Tim said putting his hand on my shoulder. "Could you? Thanks." I said as he picked me up & we went back to group.
