"Hey there, Zack."

Seeing a young kid, probably the same age as Ray with a orange mask that to me resembles a pumpkin and a red scarf covering his neck and almost a bright green eyes.

This is what I've been sensing before we got on this floor? What a joke. This kids is acting like he know Zack but how. Have they met before or no?

Zack response sure did sound like he knew him
"Hey there, little shit."

The boy once again started speaking "I went to so much trouble making that grave for you. Now why would you go and wreck it like that?"

Zack started laughing "If you really went to so much trouble, then why does it look like crap, kid?"

Choosing not to speak until I thought it was necessary but with the way their acting, no clue on when. The kid claim he was in a hurry and couldn't finish Zack's grave and said that if it was ugly then Zack will be right at home within it. Creepy ass kid this one is turning out to be.

"Not if I put you in a grave first, you damn brat!" And Zack went to attack with his scythe but the kid dodge it by flipping in the air and landing close to me. He made a sound but I wasn't gonna have it either with this kid.

"My name isn't brat or little shit. It's Eddie. So use it will ya." Now that I know his name, I decided to attack as well with my Katana but he dodge my attack as well by just moving away from me.

"Why did you destroyed Ray's grave as well? Now I gotta fix it." Zack came behind me and attacked Eddie while I did the same after him. Of course he dodge. Again.

Eddie started speaking about Ray "She's great. i fell in love at first sight." This is turning out like the doctor that wanted our eyes but his speaking about Ray not me. Odd?

Zack was confused as was I, so I thought now would be the best to ask my question. "Let me ask something. Why was my grave bigger then my younger sister? And I rather have a good answer."

"I made your grave bigger since you were the bigger sister but I was in love with you before but now I love Rachel. No hard feelings Crystal."

Knowing his answer gave me shivers and not in a good way. I saw Zack shiver but with anger.

Eddie continued "I only made graves for people who had already passed on. It was getting kinda boring. I enjoy digging graves, but I carried no feelings of the people within them. What's the beauty in that? So I decided to make two perfect graves for the both of them, one for Rachel and the other for Crystal. But I understand Rachel more then Crystal. She and I are the same age and everything else. Loving someone who can love you back....is way better then one sided feelings then a messy, decomposing corpse."

He kept ranting and I was slowly getting tired and I can see so is Zack "Are you trying to make me hurl both of us or something?" But once again stated he had an eye for beautiful and what wasn't. Turning to Zack I was about to speak but Eddie's ranting was slowly making my shadows creep out to form tentacles.

Eddie turned around and had this look in his eye that made me uncomfortable and in doing so I stepped back. Zack seeing this went in front of me and grabbed my hand to relax me which helped a bit.

"Another reason why I'll kill both Rachel and Crystal." Was Eddie's response. Zack didn't like his answer and shouted "Shut it. You ain't that special." And went to attack but Eddie kept dodging Zack's scythe. I used my shadow tentacles which I did end up striking him in the gut but he vanished. Hearing his giggling was creeping me out.

Zack call out to Eddie to come out an called him a necrophiliac but Eddie was gone.

Zack relaxed a bit and walked right up to me and asked if I was alright. Telling him I was okay. Now I'm worried about Ray. Please be okay.

I started pacing with worry. Zack could sense it and tug me to hug him which I returned. Once he let go, he sent me a smile and walked away to the crack and couldn't see Ray coming back I'm guessing. He remembered something and went up me.

"Hey I just remembered that Ray said there was a room inside to the right. Let's go. I gotta do everything around here." He started running with me behind him. We come to the room and hearing voices but couldn't see anybody, I ran up to the wall with Zack behind me, who started slamming his hand to the wall.

"Alright little Miss Horror Show! You in there somewhere?" Zack yelling. My fear of Ray being with this guy who just wants to kill us, is making me wish that I could just somehow make myself known on the other side of this wall.

Zack was slowly getting agitated and once again started yelling "You don't know a damn thing about what looks good, you understand me, punk. If you did, you wouldn't kill her with that boring look on her face. What the hell is wrong with you?"

He is really serious about killing Ray and wants nobody else but him to do it. I heard Eddie saying to keep it down for he was having a conversation so I decided to speak "Shut it coconut head. I've had about enough of you. Ray listen to me, is this what you really want. Don't you want Zack to kill you?"

Zack seemed surprised about what I was saying. He nudge me and again tried to reason with Ray "Hey, weird little girl! You can hear us in there, right?" Ray responded with a question "Who else?! Don't think I'm gonna let you run around here on your own. Every sick puppy is this dump wants to end your stupid life. But whatever, happens, I'm doing the honors, like it or not. I swear to God I'll kill you."

Silence is all I hear but I'm assuming Ray is in shock to hear Zack say God. I heard Ray's voice and Zack again spoke. I can already tell she's agreeing with Zack's promise because she spoke, knowing what was gonna happen i stepped back. "Then you should hit this section of the wall as hard as possible." Zack smiled from where I'm standing and slashed his scythe on the wall.

We both walk through the wall and see Ray safe but Zack took a couple more steps and stood in front of Ray and just ask how is that. I walked pass Zack and hugged Ray which to my surprise hug me back.

Eddie was complaining "This isn't fair." Zack groan and stood in front of us but when Eddie spoke again, shivers was my only response. "There's no problem with me killing you both."

Zack groan again "What are you, touched?" Eddie's voice was once again heard "But you'd do such an ugly job."

Zack asking what could be the difference and its being ignored by Eddie and tried to reason with I'm assuming both Ray and me, "Listen, you don't want this jerk to kill you. He won't be neat or gentle. It'd be better to let me do it."

"I told you to quit the yappn' and leave us be already or you're gonna get cut by me." I responded with. "Rachel, Crystal I'll be the one to put you both to rest. When you're ready, I'll be waiting." His presence vanished. Goodbye and good riddance.

Zack turned to Ray "You're dead meat anyway, you know that? Even if I don't murder you something'll kill you before too long." I stood from being next to Ray and wandered a bit away from them and thought where was the elevator. Ignoring the conversation of both Zack and Ray.

My senses were going haywire but most of them were of creeped out feeling, turning to see Ray close to Zack. Zack was being uncomfortable and shoved Ray against the wall and said he really hates liars. Hearing all this made me feel weird, like as in to protect Ray but also Zack.

Now that was over with I finally decided to speak "Glad that your finally done. I heard a door opening before the lights turned on. Let's make our way wherever it came from. This kid said he'll be waiting." And off we went. I lend the way while Ray walked right next to me with Zack a bit behind me.

The walls changed into a hallway and the smell of dirt came again. Zack ask there better not be a another graveyard which I was hoping also. The walk to wherever was interrupted with Zack asking for our names, he forgot already, we told him when we meet on Danny's floor.

"We told you already but we'll tell you again. I'm Crystal Gardner and this is Rachel Gardner." I spoke. Zack responded but I ignored for in front of us was the brat Eddie and I took out my Katana and my black tentacles also emerged from my shadow. Zack also got ready with his scythe and got into a stance.

"So we meet again." Said Eddie.
