Living With The Pain

Our Mission

*After School, Scarlett's  POV*

    "So, we're sneaking into Packerton's?" I asked. "Yeah, it's the only way we'll figure out what's going on here," Sal explained,"there HAS to be something wrong with the bologna." "Or maybe you're just vegetarian," I said. Sal rolled his eyes,"Am not! What else would explain why everyone else in our group feels the same way I do!" "Well then, you-" "Can you two not?" Larry interrupted us as he opened Packerton's apartment door.

The three of us walked in and looked around. "Let's split up and hurry before Packerton gets back," Larry said and we all went our seperate ways. "Uh guys? There's a dead goat head in the freezer," Sal said. "I knew it was goat meat! I told you guys," Larry yelled. "Larry, shut up. You're drawing attention to yourself that you don't need." He stuck his tongue out at me and I did the same back. Sal just rolled his eyes,"Children. Settle down."

I opened a room door and let out a yelp. "Scarlett?!" Larry and Sal ran into the room. "What happened?" Sal asked. I pointed to the bed where a man was tied down to the bed and hooked up to a complicated looking machine. "M-Mr. P-Packerton?" Larry said confused. "Is-Is he dead?" I asked. Sal pulled out the Gearboy so we could talk to Mr. Packerton's ghost.

"Please....pull the plug...let me out of my misery."

Sal, Larry and I all exchanged a look.

"Please..."

Sal sighed and nodded, then he reached over and shut off the machine as we heard a sound come from the other room. "Packerton!" Sal whispered. "Hide!" I whispered and Sal, Larry and I all ducked behind the machine.

"If we die out here, I want to thank you guys for being there for me," Sal whispered,"thanks for being the best sister I could ask for." I nodded and whispered,"Love ya, big bro." "Love ya too, little sister," he whispered back. Larry sighed quietly and whispered,"I love you like a brother, Sally Face. Thanks for everything," Sal nodded. "And Scarlett?" I looked at Larry and whispered,"Yeah?" He whispered,"If I were to ask you out would you go out with me?"

Whoa.

Wow.

Uh...

  I nodded and smiled slightly. He smiled a bit, closed his eyes and covered Sal and I with his arm. Sal covered his face with one hand while his other was around my shoulders. I covered my face with both hands and the three of us braced for the worse...

"What are you three doing?" We all looked up to see...Ashley. "Ash?" Larry asked once he opened his eyes again. "Don't scare us like that, Ash!" Sal said. "Sorry," her eyes wondered to Mr. Packerton,"Is he-"
"He asked," Sal trailed off. Ash just nodded,"I found this key ring." She tossed it to Sal and he caught it, walking out the room to see what the key unlocks followed by Larry, Ashley and I.

"I got the locked room open!" Sal exclaimed as he pushed the door open and we all stepped inside. "What..." Larry trailed off as he looked into the room. "Oh...my...god." Ashley said. "This is literally a slaughter factory," Sal said quietly. I found a freezer and started to crack the code while everyone else looked around.

"I got it!" I opened the freezer and gasped. Ashley, Sal and Larry crowded around me. "Oh..." Sal said. "That's disgusting!" Ashley yelled. Larry turned to the side and threw up. "Ew, Johnson. That's nasty," I rubbed his back as he threw up. "There's no bones...it's just meat," Sal examined. Larry kept throwing up and I kept rubbing his back. "So it's gonna smell like puke and flesh in here but that's alright I guess,"'I said. Sal and Ash left the room and once Larry finished throwing up the two of us left.

  Ash stood on the small nightstand by the couch," Hey guys, look! I found a trash chute behind the painting!" Ashley said. "That's weird, this place doesn't have trash chutes,"Larry explained. Ashley stuck head into the chute trying to see if she could find anything. "Be careful, Ash," Larry Warned. "Oh! I will! I-AHHHHH!"

Blood curdling scream.

That was all the echoed through the room.
