When she up, she realized she somehow managed to cuddle up against Mal, she looked up at Mal and saw that he was awake.
"You are sucha cuddler." Mal said.
"You like it." She replied. (I hope)
"Maybe, but you like it too." Mal said, she didn't know why she didn't it but she sat up and moved her body so she was straddling Mal's hips. Mal raised his visible eyebrow questioningly, she shrugged her shoulders and leaned forward, placing her hands on both sides of Mal's head, letting her arms support her. Unlike what Mal did yesterday, she moved her face to where their lips were just inches apart.
"You trying to tell me something, love?" Mal asked.
"No." She answered. (I don't know)
"Well you straddling me and having your lips inches away from mine, says something else entirely." Mal said, she sighed and sat up but she didn't stop straddling Mal's hips.
"I don't know why I did it." She replied.
"Is there something you want to talk about?" Mal asked.
"What will we do after we search that cell, I refuse to go back to the other floors?" She asked.
"We'll figure something out." Mal said, she just sighed and nodded her head.
"Come on love, we should go." Mal said, she got off him, then they got dressed, grabbed their video cameras and headed for the kitchen. After they ate they headed for the dungeon, once inside the dungeon it took them a few minutes to reach the end of it.
"You ready?" Mal asked.
"I'm ready." She said. (No I'm not) Mal opened the door, they stepped inside the room, she turned on the light then she almost screamed. In the center of the room laid three skeletons, two of them male the other female, they all looked like teenagers. The first male had a bullet hole in his skull, the other two skeletons were holding hands, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the female. The other male though, his clothes were ripped to shreds and there was a bullet hole in his jacket.
"Time to go." She said.  (I think I'm going to be sick) Mal nodded his head and they quickly left the dungeon and headed back to their room.
"I don't know what I was expecting, but what I do know was that I wasn't expecting us to find their bodies." She said.
"I wasn't expecting that either." Mal replied.
"I can understand Thomas burying them together but why did he put.....Zoey's and.....Mal's hands together?" Zoey asked.
"Why does it matter?" Mal asked.
"Thomas would have to pry.....Zoey's hand open to fit with.....Mal's, that would have taken time. As far as....Mal is concerned, his body was while for the most part protected from the outside elements, he wasn't completely. So Thomas would have to deal with over a months worth of decay, what was he thinking when he did that?" She answered, then added the question.
"Maybe he thought it wouldn't be enough for them to just be next to each other." Mal answered.
"You're such a romantic." She said.
"Only for you, though why did he bury....Mike with them?" Mal asked.
"Thomas might've thought.....Zoey needed to be with both of her choices, as well as make sure nobody could find Mike's body. Thomas did say in his letter that the mansions secrets should stay hidden." She answered.
"Do you they're haunting this place?" Mal asked.
"If they are, they're not showing themselves." She answered.
There's a lot of ifs here." Mal said.
"Yeah...come on let's go to bed." She replied, turning off her video camera, Mal copied her then they got their night clothes.
"Hun, can we stay in here tomorrow?" She asked, as she took off Mal's jacket, cufflinks and shirt.
"Yeah, we don't even have to leave the bed." Mal answered, as he took off his pants and put his pajama pants on as well as his shirt. She began to button up Mal's shirt, then she took off her dress and turned around, when she felt the corset loosen and heard Mal walk away, she put on her night dress.
"By the way you can cuddle me if you want, save you from trying to figure out how you got into my arms." Mal said, as she climbed into bed.
"You like it." She said, and cuddled up against Mal's side.
"Maybe, now let's get some sleep." Mal said, she nodded her head and the two of them fell asleep.
                   Mike pov
"I can't believe they found them." He said, shocked.
"It wasn't completely impossible for Zoey and Mal to find  1905 Zoey, Mal and Mike's bodies somewhere here." Manitoba replied.
"Yeah, but I thought there would be an actual grave." He said.
"Maybe to Thomas, he thought that he didn't have time to dig an actual grave." Svetlana suggested.
"It doesn't matter now." Vito said.
"Then what does?" Chester asked.
"How is Chris and the rest of the world going to handle dozens of bodies being in one house." Vito answered.
"Right, Zoey and Mal are filming everything." He said, nobody said anything after that.
