The Last Guest 5: Aftermath [OLD]

Chapter 17: Time's Ticking

Charlie has rescued Daisy, Rose, and Molly. They are now on their way to save the others. But will they rescue their friends before Shadow destroys their home?

Daisy, Rose, Molly, and Charlie rode on the pony that Charlie borrowed. They followed the GPS, toward the castle.

"That's where they were?!" Molly asked. "No time to question! We need to get our friends! NOW!" Daisy got off the horse and took Charlie's backpack.

"Hey!" Charlie yelled out. "Stay here, Charlie. You've done enough to help us." Daisy ran inside the castle, Rose and Molly followed her.

They ran across the hallway where the prisoners are supposed to be. Daisy spotted shadow creatures in the castle, then signaled her friends to hide. "What do we do?" Rose whispered.

Daisy thought for a moment, then pulled a paintball gun filled with black paint from Charlie's backpack. "I know what to do!" Daisy whispered.

The shadow creatures paced around the hallway. Then they suddenly heard a whistle. They quickly turned to the sound, ready to fight.

But they saw a female shadow creature in an attractive pose. The shadow creatures walked up to her.

And without warning, Molly used the sword she got from the backpack to kill the two shadow creatures. Then the female shadow creature wiped her face off, revealing herself as Daisy.

"Clever!" Molly said to Daisy. "Remind me to never do that again." Daisy sighed, still covered in black paint.

Molly took the key from the lifeless shadow creature. She unlocked one prison door, but there was no one.

Then she moved on to the next, still empty. She moved on to the next, and yet again it was empty.

Molly decided to knock on every prison door instead of wasting her time opening the doors where no one is behind it.

She knocked on the next door. Then she heard chains. Molly knew there's someone in there. She unlocked the door and opened it. Behind it, she found Matt.

"Molly?!" Matt shouted. Molly shushed him as she set his legs free from the cuffs. "We don't want to attract a crowd!" Molly said.

Matt then was free from the chains. "I'm glad you're safe!" he said. Molly then helped him up. "Come on! Let's go find the others"

They looked through knocked on every prison door. Knocked on one then they heard a yelp. "That's Jez! I know that voice anywhere!" said Rose.

Molly quickly unlocked the door to find him. "Oh, thank god. It's just you guys" he sighed with relief. "JEZ!" Rose yelled as she ran toward him for a hug.

"Whoa, easy there..." Jez hugged back. Daisy whispered to Matt. "Yep, they're totally together..."

Molly removed the cuffs from Jez's leg, and ran off to find Bethany and Guest. "Knocking isn't going to do any good for Bethany." Jez explained.

"I knocked on the door from her room and she won't answer" said Jez. "HEY! BETHANY! ARE YOU THERE?!" he yelled as loud as he could.

Then there was silence. Then they heard the oozy sounds of Shadow creatures. "WHY?!?!?" Molly yelled. "I didn't know that would happen!" panicked Jez. "WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK I KNOCKED?!" she yelled back.

Daisy brought the gear out form Charlie's backpack. And handed a weapon to each and everyone.

Shadow creatures came pouring into the room. "FIND BETHANY!" Jez yelled as he charged toward the shadow creatures.

Molly ran through the hallways, knowing that there is no point in staying quiet, she yelled out Bethany's name.

Bethany heard Molly's voice. "I'M HERE! I'M HERE!" Bethany yelled out. Molly followed her voice. The voice became more faint as she went further down the hallway.

She turned around to realize that Bethany's cell is among the shadow creatures. Molly ran toward the group of Shadow creatures.

Realizing there is no getting past the creatures, she called out to Jez. "JEZ! THE KEY!" Molly tossed the key toward Jez.

Jez caught it in the air, and ran toward Rose. Rose took the key from Jez and tossed it to Daisy. Jez then gave Daisy a boost above the shadow creatures.

She found herself running on top of the Shadow creature's head. She then placed a bomb among them.

Boom!

The bomb blew up almost half of the shadow creatures. She unlocked the door where Bethany is.

"Oh... You..." Bethany sighed. Daisy walked up to Bethany and removed her cuffs. "Well no one gets left behind..." Daisy grumbled.

Bethany's foot is set free. She decided it would be a great opportunity to kick Daisy. "OW!" Daisy yelped. She then gave Bethany a slap.

"Stop fighting! We don't have time for this! We need to find Guest!" Matt called. They ran across the hallway to find Guest.

"GUEST! GUEST!" Daisy yelled. In the cell, Guest lies against the wall, thinking about what's going to happen.

Then the calls of his name are getting less faint. He heard the voices of his wife. "She came back for me..." he said to himself.

"DAISY! I'M OVER HERE! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Guest called out. "I WILL!" Daisy called back. She put the key in the keyhole. She tried to turn it, but it wouldn't budge.

Daisy tried to pull the key back out and put it back it. But the key wouldn't go out. Daisy then tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open.

"IT'S JAMMED!" Daisy yelled. "STAND BACK!" Bethany ran toward the door, trying to punch it down. It wouldn't move.

"What do we do?!" Rose yelled. Daisy took a look inside Charlie's backpack and found a rocket launcher. "Everyone, cover your ears!" Daisy warned.

Everyone quickly covered their ears. Daisy then pulled the trigger, then a rocket came out of the launcher.

The rocket hit the door, and Daisy flew back. Bethany had the urge to laugh. The door was still unharmed.

The castle started to rumble. "I think the rocket launcher did something..." Daisy said, scared. Guest rolled into a ball as the castle rumbled.

Rocks came falling down from the roof, one of which hit a pipe. The pipe was scratched, then suddenly the pipe burst, creating a hole.

Water came flowing out of it. The others outside of the cell tried to figure out how to get in. "Is there anyway in?!" Matt asked.

"I don't know!" Daisy replied. "Uh guys?!" They heard Guest say. Daisy put her ear against the door.

"You might want to hurry up, because... um..." Guest paused. Daisy then heard water flowing into the cell.

"The room is filling up with water, and the door isn't emptying it out for some reason." Guest continued as the water filled up the entire floor as it continued to rise.

"We need to hurry up!" Daisy yelled. "Or else..." she paused, realizing what will happen. "He'll drown..."

Will they be able to save Guest before he drowns, or will they find his body floating in water. Expect another chapter tomorrow, and again, no asks!
