The Chase

The four of the third group arrived at what looks like a throne room. Though there aren't any windows that can be seen on the walls.

Inside the throne room, the floor is flooded with blood and in the middle is a silver pathway to avoid the blood.

Sean felt creeped among them just by seeing the blood. And so he stood behind Salem grabbing his shirt.

"W-we should go back!" Sean whispered at him and the three turned to him worried.

"We've gone this far Sean! We can't go back now!" Jay said to him and Salem and Jasper nodded their heads at him.

Jay looked around once again. Aside from the blood and silver pathway, there's a single door at the end of the room.

He was about to step first on the pathway when Salem grabbed him to stop him.

Jay turned to him and Salem pointed at the silver pathway with a very serious expression..

"Get back!" He said quietly and the three stepped back behind him.

Salem took off both his shoes. He threw his left shoe on the silver plate and only a split second passed, a series of pins started shooting out of nowhere.

The three jumped in surprise, especially Sean.

"Booby trap!" Jasper exclaimed.

Salem then threw his right shoe on the blood. They waited a minute and nothing happened.

"The pathway is the trap! I think it's best if we don't step on it!" Salem suggested.

They started walking on the blood with Jasper and Jay pulling Sean. Salem was taking the lead.

They reached the door and Salem stepped closer to listen if something's inside.

When he opened the door, there was another door inside the room.

As soon as Salem and Jay entered the room, the door slammed closed locking the two inside and making Sean in a frantic panic mode.

Jay and Salem try to open the door while Jasper also tries to open it on the other side.

"Sean! Come over here and help me!" Jasper yells at him but Sean's attention is more preoccupied by something else.

He was frozen after seeing statues approaching from the door where they came from.

They were walking towards them in a line. They're holding a crossbow each but of course made of stone too.

Sean cried pulling Jasper's shirt.

"Help me! We have to get them out!" Jasper yelled at him, grabbing his collar.

He paused when he noticed Sean was crying. Jasper then turned and saw the statues approaching them.

Like they did earlier, the walking statues avoided the silver pathway.

"What the hell!!!" Jasper exclaimed and they started screaming in fear.

"What's wrong!? Are you guys alright!?" Jay asked right after they opened the door again.

Salem yelled after seeing the statues and they immediately pulled Jasper and Sean in.

Sean was already panicking while Jay and Jasper were trying to stop the statues from coming in.

Salem on the other side is trying to open the other door behind them

"Sean! Come here and help me!" He yelled.

Sean tried to calm down and ran to help Salem.

As soon as the door opened and the two got in, Jasper and Jay ran and closed the door.

The door led them to a tunnel. The tunnel had so many directions. They're completely lost and just kept running from the statues that were chasing them.

"F*ck!!!" Everyone exclaimed after they bumped into something..

Or someone.

"Hunter!?" Jay exclaimed as soon as he recognized the man in front of him.

"What happened to you guys!?" Drew asked after seeing how devastated they look.

Drew was holding a torch so they have a source of light in the dark tunnel.

They all turned when they heard loud footsteps approaching from where Salem and the three came from.

"We need to go!!! They're coming!!!" Sean yelled and they started running again.

They arrived on a dead end which made them more frantic and panicking.

Well atleast Hunter, Jay and Salem were still in their right state.

"Up there!" Salem pointed at the ceiling.

There was a round trap door there.

Jay and Hunter immediately carried Jamie while the boy tried opening the trap door.

But it's locked from the other side and they couldn't open it.

"We're doomed!" Jake whispered to himself staring from where they came waiting for the statues to kill them.

Jamie and the others started yelling at the other side of the trap door in hope that someone is there to help them.

Jake, Drew and Sean started crying again when they heard the footsteps approaching.

As soon as they saw the statues, the trap door opened pulling Jamie out.

"Jamie!? What the hell! Are you alright?!" Kylo exclaimed as soon as he pulled the boy out.

Grant started pulling out the others.

They were lucky that the trap door was inside where Kylo and his group went. They were busy looking around when they heard loud voices from the trap door.

As soon as everyone was pulled out, they closed the trap door.

The eight islanders were so shocked that they barely spoke a word.

They were so scared, especially Jake, Drew, Jamie and Sean.

Hunter was hugging Jamie to comfort him.

While Salem was hugging Sean.

"What happened?!" Kylo asked but none of them were able to explain.

Grant facepalmed himself thinking it was his fault that this happened. So they decided to finally leave the South Wing.

Kylo and Jake's room are much larger than the others so he brought everyone there.

The young ones are still devastated and shocked until they fall asleep.

"I'm so sorry guys... I shouldn't have just let you come with me!" Grant apologized.

Kylo and the others told him it wasn't his fault.

They stayed in the room until everyone fell asleep.

Well except for one.

He could not get the image out of his mind. He wanted to tell them what he saw but he was unsure and didn't want to make assumptions.

However, if his assumptions are correct.

They might be in a bigger trouble.
