4 Please...

Faith continued to look around the rooms keeping a sharp eye out for anything they could use to break apart the glass, though she couldn't help but let out an annoyed groan as she couldn't find anything of the sort. She even double checked rooms to be sure she didn't miss anything, though no matter how much she looked, she couldn't find anything of use for them.

She eventually found herself near the elevator where they first entered the floor.

"I searched all over, but I can't find anything strong enough to break that glass." She looked to what was supposed to be the waiting room that had been up ahead, "Than again, this is supposed to be a replica of a hospital, so I shouldn't be surprised."

She looked at the walkie that she kept in her skirt pocket, remembering what Kristen had told her earlier.

"I wonder if those two are okay… I hope Danny hasn't found them out."

She clenched the walkie in her hand as she shook with worry.

"I've gotta get back to that room! They may need my help!"

Right when she was about to run back, she heard a peculiar sound. It had been coming from the elevator as she heard the sound of the gears turning.

"It's… Moving?!"

Faith found herself slowly walking back towards it, maintaining her distance.

"Another sacrifice…? No, that can't be right. There was no announcement made for the residents."

The doors soon opened revealing a light; her body froze and her face turned pale at the sight of a familiar shadow at which the lights had casted from within.

***

Kristen heard the sound of someone snapping their fingers right in her ear, making the ring in her head feel more intense; not to mention the pain in the back of her head wasn't helping one bit. Her vision became clear and she found herself still within the operating room, as she appeared to be sitting on the floor.

"Wakey, wakey~"

Her eyes widened when she found herself staring face to face with Danny, this time his smile looking more disturbing than before. She jumped and backed up at the wall, only to find that her hands were tied behind her back as well as her ankles with a set of bloodied ropes.

"The fuck!?" She exclaimed as she struggled against the restraints, "What is this!?"

She let out a gasp when she saw the operating table had been occupied at the moment. She saw it had been a familiar girl having a fearful look in her eyes; she looked to be on the verge of crying as she saw her trying to break out of the retraintants.

"RACHEL!" She yelled trying to move, before she gave a glare to the doctor, "You bastard--!"

Kristen had been taken back when she noticed that something had been drastically different from the doctor himself. His right side possessed not one, but two eyes, one of green and red. "I thought I told you not to run away." He said to her, his tongue hanging from his mouth making her flinch, "You did this to yourself you know?"

Kristen let out a growl and gritted her teeth; even though she still had fear in her eyes, anger seemed to have taken over.

"You're not as dumb as you look." Danny said to her as he stood up, as she realized that he had her gun and knife in his hands, "I thought I could get you away from Rachel at least, but you're a stubborn little bitch aren't you?"

"This stubborn bitch is gonna put you through hell if you don't untie me." She told him in a threatening tone of voice.

Danny merely laughed amusingly at this, as he put the weapons on a table nearby, "Oh, don't worry, I'll deal with you once I've finished my business with Rachel."

"Do--Doctor, please just let us go." Rachel had begged, her voice quivering slightly.

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Danny told her licking his lips, "This is MY floor you see. If you were to run away with those two whores I wouldn't be able to do anything to you myself."

"DON'T YOU DARE YOU PERVERTED PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A DOCTOR!" Kristen shouted. She soon felt Danny kick her hard in the stomach, nearly making her throw up. "Kristen!" Rachel shouted as she saw her fall on her side.

Danny soon gave a disgusted look to her, "Your peepers don't interest me at all, Kristen is it? I have no interest in your ugly red eyes, so unless you want to die a slow death, than I suggest you stay quiet."

Kristen coughed a little before she groaned, "... Touch her and I'll make you suffer tenfold."

Kristen cried out in agony when he gave her another kick in the stomach, causing Rachel to cry out her name once more. "You're not in any kind of position to make such threats to me." Kristen was about to say another retort before she noticed something about the ropes tied behind her back. She felt that the knots had been tied poorly.

"We'll see about that…" Is what she said in her head before she went to work getting the knots undone, without alerting Danny as he made his way back towards Rachel.

"Why!?" Rachel soon said fearfully, "Why are you doing this to us?!"

Danny gave a chuckle, "Like I said, I don't want her eyes, I want yours. Your peepers are by far one of the most beautiful I've seen out of everyones, and I want them all to myself." He hovered over her, "So… Won't you do me the honor of giving me your eyes?"

Rachel squirmed in the restraints as she shook her head vigorously; her body still trembled as she did her best to avoid his gaze.

"Ah, how you wound me so!" Danny said, as he had been over dramatic about the whole thing, "You've forgotten who you are and even who I am, didn't you?"

"If she says she doesn't know you, than she doesn't know you, asshole!" Kristen yelled, "So quit it with your creepy little--AGH!" She had been cut off abruptly again when she felt herself get kicked again, this time in the leg.

"Stop it!" Rachel yelled, "Stop hurting her!"

Danny turned back to Rachel giving a chuckle, though little did he know Kristen had gotten the rope off of her wrist, and quickly went to work getting the ropes off of her; every so often when Danny turned back in her direction, she quickly put her hands behind her back and pretended they were still tied up.

"If you really don't remember, than perhaps a story will enlighten you…" Danny said to the terrified child.

"Are you fucking kidding me with that crap?" Kristen couldn't help but say in her thoughts as she had been left unamused; after he turned his back she quickly went back to work, in getting the ropes off.

Danny soon started his so-called tale of woe, "My mother you see… Whenever something bad happened to me, she would always blame it on my missing eye. My problem caused my parents to fight. Everyone around me saw me as a mistake to the world. They kept asking my mother 'Why did you give birth to something like him?' It was around this time… My mother felt sick."

Kristen's eyes widened slightly at this; for a moment she felt a ring in her head as an image passed her by. It appeared to be of a woman in her twenties though she couldn't tell her appearance since it had been blurred and her back had been turned to her. She shook the thought out of her head, as she started to get the ropes loose around her ankles while Danny pradled on.

"... It was all because of this missing eye of mine. I envied those who had been blessed with both of their eyes. I hated those who had both of their eyes. Before I knew it, all I could focus on were the eyes of others. If only I had a pair of eyes as well. Watching them I realized that not all eyes were the same. Some eyes were filled with warmth, some were filled with innocence and some were just plain and normal. I found that my mother's eyes reflected nothing but emptiness… They were the most beautiful of them all."

Kristen raised an eyebrow, though she couldn't help but shudder a little at his words. "This guy… I was right to feel unsettled by this bastard." She saw that the ropes were finally undone though she kept her ankles together and her hands behind her back.

"At least he's shitty when it comes to tying people up. I just gotta wait for an opportunity to grab for my weapons and get Rachel out…" She looked around the area, "...Just stay calm and think… What's the quickest way I can do this?"

Danny continued on with his story, as he didn't notice that Kristen had been currently untied.

"I wanted to stare into them forever. But just as I had started to think that way… My mother… Committed suicide. I wouldn't be able to see her eyes again… But in despair when I looked into her eyes… Even though she had longed passed, her eyes were still beautiful as ever! It was then I wondered… Just before she died, how beautiful her eyes would have been? I wanted to see more of them! Eyes that were as beautiful as my mothers had been. I knew if I were to become a psychologist, I'd be able to gather more people whose eyes were filled with despair, and that they were yearning for death!"

He soon hoovered over Rachel again, making her jump when his face had been close to hers, "And than I met you, Rachel! You're eyes! They were the most beautiful I have ever seen! Rachel! Won't you please go back to those beautiful eyes of yours!"

"Just stop this!" Rachel begged once more, "Let us go!"

Danny soon had a disappointed look on his face, as his look changed slightly. "You have REALLY disappointed me Rachel." He said, "Your eyes… They're the same as that other patient I had."

"Other patients?" Rachel and Kristen said in unison as they were both confused.

Danny had clarified for them, "The words that were covered in dirt you found earlier, that had been left by another person who came to this floor." His expression once more to something that of a pleasant look which disturbed the two of them, "Her eyes were far too dull, so I got rid of them after killing her! While she was running, she wrote 'I'm going to be killed! I'm scared! I'm so scared! Just like before they're going to kill me! God help me! Please, please help me!'"

"So there have been others before us, like Faith said." Kristen thought in her head, "They must've been as terrified as we were…"

"I have a question for the two of you…" Danny soon said, getting their attention, "... Do either of you remember why you're in this place? Why is all of this happening to you…?"

"Does it really matter?" Kristen asked with a glare, "All we know is that psychos like you want to kill us!"

"That's not the point of it all!" Danny said, "It's so you can find yourselves again!" He placed a hand on Rachel's shoulder, making Kristen's stare harden, "... So Rachel… I've been looking for the perfect pair for a long time… Live with me Rachel!"

"Like she'd live with your creepy ass!" Kristen said, earning another glare from the doctor.

"Please Doctor Danny…" Rachel continued to beg, "Let us go! I just want to go home! I want to leave this place!"

"Home?" Danny said, confused.

"Let the kid go doctor!" Kristen told him, "She has nothing to do with any of this! All she wants is to go home to her mom and dad!" Kristen noticed that Danny's smile grew even wider at this, he looked back to the poor girl. "Oh… Is that what your worried about?" He said. He started to laugh out loudly, taking the two of them back.

"What's so funny!?" Kristen yelled.

"Mom… Dad…" Rachel whimpered.

".... Don't worry Rachel…" He said, "You'll be able to see them again. After all they're waiting for--IN HELL."

At this the whole room went silent; Kristen had been stunned, while something snapped at Rachel. She heard a ring in her head, as a couple of unclear images went through her head. The only thing that seemed to have stood out to her, was the blue moon high above the sky as her demeanor seemed to have changed completely.

"Now than Rachel your peepers…" Danny said, before he noticed the expression Rachel had been making. It took him back a bit, though for a brief moment, his expression had brightened, and his smile had been wide.

"YES! THAT'S IT!" He exclaimed, "THERE'S THAT BEAUTIFUL LOOK! YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! PLEASE LIVE WITH ME RACHEL! I'VE SO UNBEARABLY—"

"You…"

This time Danny had been the one cut off, as he noticed Kristen had stood up, which had surprised him as he was sure he had tied her up.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!"

With her eyes filled with rage, she roughly pulled Danny away from the operating table before she threw him to the wall. Grabbing him by the neck of his shirt, and threw a series of punches despite the fact the hand she had been using to punch was the one that had been bandaged.

Her wound started to open, just as her punches had gotten stronger and roughly, causing his mouth and nose to bleed.

"Die!" Kristen found herself yelling as her fist collided with his cheek, "Die! FUCKING DIE ALREADY!!"

Before she could throw one more she stopped herself when another image seemed to have passed her by. Though it had been blurred she found herself grabbing someone's hand, but she didn't know who's it had been as the image had been stained with red.

It was only than she realized that Danny hadn't been moving. She let go of him, letting him slide to the ground, as she took deep breaths and processed what she had just done, she now looked to her bloodied hand.

"Did...I... I just…?"

She saw that her hand had been shaking, and she had quickly grasped it to stop it. She took a deep breath as she looked phased by what she had done. She soon turned her attention to Rachel who had no longer been fighting against the restraints; she had been lying there perfectly still which had concerned her.

"Ra… Rachel?" She said slowly approaching the operating table, "Are you—"

Suddenly she felt herself being pulled by the hair making her cry out. This had been from Danny as he had a wicked smile on his bruised and bloody face. He grabbed her by the neck of her shirt and she felt her back hit the cabinet just behind her. Launching his hands around her neck, he had started to strangle her laughing as he did this.

Kristen struggled to breath as she hit at his hands in an attempt to get him to let go.

"AS IF I'D LET A WHORE LIKE YOU TAKE MY PRECIOUS RACHEL AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled gleefully, "NOT WHEN HER EYES ARE THIS BEAUTIFUL!!"

Kristen quickly grabbed his face in an attempt to push him off, though he retaliated by biting her thumb causing her to retract her hand. Losing breath fast, she tried to see if she could at least reach for her knife, though had been quick to realize it had been way out of her reach.

"YOUR EYES WOULD NEVER DO AT ALL!" Danny yelled hysterically as he still held his smile, "IT HAS TO BE HER AND ONLY HER! YOUR EYES ARE NOT AS BEAUTIFUL! NOT AS STUNNING! IT HAS TO BE HER!"

Kristen tried to kick at him, in the stomach at least, but found her energy leaving her gradually. Her vision started to become hazy as she felt her eyes start to roll in the back of her head. Though she tried and tried to hit at his hands, even that had started to weaken as she struggled to breath.

Danny's smile had been the widest it had ever been as he saw this happen. "THAT'S IT! THAT'S IT!" He cheered as his grip around her neck tightened, "ONCE YOUR GONE I'LL GET RID OF YOUR DISGUSTING EYES, THAN RACHEL WILL HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER! SHE'LL STAY HERE! FOREVER WITH LITTLE OLD ME!!"

SLASH!

Kristen flinched when she felt something in her face, and strangled enough, the fingers around her neck started to loosen up. Her vision had still been a blur, but she could've sworn that her vision turned red, as the room became stained with its color. Danny coughed up a bit of blood, as he had realized someone had been behind him.

He only had caught a glimpse of someone holding a curve like blade as whoever had been holding the weapon had his hands bandaged up.

"You… A...re…"

Danny had finally let go of Kristen as he had fallen on his side, as she fell to the ground, finally letting out horrific coughs. Though as she caught her breath, her ears had gotten that familiar laughter she had heard not too long ago. A black boot had soon stomped on top of the now corpse of Danny, as Kristen couldn't help but flinch at the sound heard upon impact.

"Hey, now Danny!" A familiar voice said, "Your voice sounded way too damn happy! I just couldn't resist cutting you up!"

Kristen's eyes widened when she realized who it had been. It had been the Killer that resided on the floor below.

"You…" She gasped, "... You followed us here…?"

The Killer seemed to give a laugh out of amusement as he leaned over Kristen, "I thought that would've been obvious! I chased the three of you up here, and found the two of you in one hell of a spot! Strange that four eyes aren't with ya, but hey, I ran into you Red Eyes."

Kristen tried to get up, but found herself falling to the floor as she had been struggling to regain her bearings after what had just happened. The Killer soon spotted Rachel on the operating table and thought of a wicked idea.

"Oh... I think I'm gonna give you some payback." The Killer said to Kristen as he pushed her roughly to the ground, "Why don't you sit there and wait, while I finish what I started?"

Her eyes widened at his words as he stood up, walking towards Rachel. Kristen struggled to pick herself up, but found herself falling again. All she could do was reach out to the Killer as he had already been out of reach.

"Don't… Hurt her…"

And just like that Kristen blacked out, just as he was at Rachel's side with his scythe in tow.

***

The heavens above weep over the plain grassy hills; turning the once dirt road into that of mud; lighting roared across the skies as it seemed to be the only light that illuminated a dark room, with the windows all boarded up. A child laid there on the cold hard floor, drenched from head to toe. Her head had been hurting and it felt like her body was eating itself from the inside. The child's vision was all fuzzy as she had struggled to keep her eyes open, as her breathing sounded hoarse.

She couldn't find energy to move as all she could do was turn her head occasionally as she struggled not to fall asleep as she had been afraid if she did, she wouldn't wake up. She didn't know exactly how long she had been in the dark room, though every second she had been, she felt like the darkness had been closing around her as she had been scared of what could have been lurking in the shadows. She couldn't even cry anymore, as even her energy had depleted her of that as she heard odd sounds.

"... Mo… Mommy… Da...Daddy… I want… To… Go… Home…"

She heard something open, as her eyes shut at a sudden light. She heard the sound of footsteps approaching her, as she let out a groan.

She tried to see who it had been, but couldn't as her vision seemed to have worsened; she couldn't even tell if the person had been a boy or a girl.

"Who… Are… You…?"

Whoever it had reached out to her just as the world around her began to change.

***

"Kristen! Kristen! Wake up!"

Kristen opened her eyes after she heard the sound of what appeared to be glass shattering and soon found a pair of green eyes staring down at her, her eyes written with worry. She sat up abruptly as she started to let out coughs, reaching for her neck in order to soothe it. Faith had sighed with relief, "Thank God, I thought for sure you were dead."

"How about that?" Kristen said with her voice sounding a little hoarse, "Where were you the whole time?"

"I was trying to find to break the glass like you said. I had gotten worried about you and Rachel when I didn't hear back from you, so I was on my way back to come help you, but--" Faith explained before gulping a little, "--I saw the resident from B6 come out of the elevator. I panicked and found a place to hide when he started to look around. I followed him back here when he killed Danny. However, after an announcement was made; he left the room and I found you unconscious."

Faith noticed the look in Kristen's eyes after she had finished explaining herself, "I'm sorry, that I didn't come back right away. But when I saw him--I didn't know what else to do. I was afraid he would kill me, if he found me. I just--Froze up."

Kristen let out a sigh before giving her a pat on the head, "It's okay, I probably would've done the same thing if I was in your shoes."

Her eyes soon widened in realization as she remembered the last thing she saw before she blacked out. "Rachel!" She exclaimed, "Where's Rachel!? Is she okay!? Did he kill her!?"

Faith was quick to calm her down before she replied, "To be honest, when I saw him go into the room, I thought after he killed Danny, I thought he killed you and Rachel, but… He didn't. You, I guess he thought you were already dead, though Rachel, I'm not sure why he didn't take the chance. Not that I'm approving of him or anything but it was strange even for me. I got Rachel out of her restrainants but--"

Faith soon pointed over to the operating table, and Kristen saw Rachel just sitting there; the shadows of her bangs as she appeared to be staring at her feet swung a little.

"She's been sitting there in silence for the past few minutes…" Faith told her.

Kristen stood up, before she looked at Danny's corpse, remembering his words from earlier. "This is MY floor." Is what she had remembered him saying. She only drew one conclusion at this.

"Faith, can you check Danny to see if he has the key to the elevator?" Kristen asked her, "I'll go check on Rachel."

"What makes you think he has the key?" Faith asked.

Kristen merely looked to Faith before she gave her reply, "... Call it a hunch." Though Faith had an unsure look in her eye, she nodded to her before she went to the corpse of Danny, as she started to search his pockets.

Kristen on the other hand stood up and went over to Rachel. The child didn't seem fazed when she placed her hand over hers. "Rachel?" Kristen said with a gentle voice, "Rachel, it's me."

Rachel picked up her head a little as she had finally spoken. "You're… Alive?"

Kristen nodded her head, "Yeah… I'm too stubborn to die. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Rachel shook her head, giving Kristen relief to her; she couldn't help but give her a hug. "Thank goodness." Kristen said, "I'm glad you're still here, I'm glad you're still alive."

Rachel's expression didn't change as she didn't even return the hug Kristen had given her. She put her head against her shoulder, before she said something that Kristen nor Faith didn't expect.

"I'm sorry… But you're wrong..." The child said, "...I shouldn't be alive."

Kristen had been taken back by this as she gently pushed herself out of the hug. Before she could ask, she noticed the look in her beautiful ocean eyes that she had been giving this whole time, as her red eyes widened slightly. Faith noticed this too as her expression had softened and she looked to her with solemn, as she stayed silent.

They were all brought out of their own thoughts when they heard loud banging just down the hall. A familiar voice had soon followed.

"FUCKING OPEN DAMN IT!"

"He's still here?" Kristen asked, before turning to Faith, "I thought you said he left."

"I said he left the room." Faith clarified, "I didn't say he left the floor. He broke the glass wall earlier and he's been over there trying to figure it out."

Kristen raised an eyebrow at this, "But why? Can't he just go back to his own floor?"

"That's the thing…" Faith said as she gave it thought, "... The announcement made earlier, called him a traitor, because he violated a rule. Now, he's a sacrifice like we are."

Kristen felt more confused by this as Rachel sat there once more in silence, though she had been curious about this as well. Faith put it altogether in her head as she finally came to a conclusion when she looked at Danny. "I wonder…" Faith said.

"What are you thinking there?" Kristen asked.

Faith soon replied, "Well… This is just a theory, but… The residents on each floor are allowed to kill those that come onto their territory however... I don't think they're allowed to kill each other."

Kristen was put in shock by this as she couldn't help but think back to what happened mere moments ago. "Does that mean he killed him knowing that it would be the case?" She thought in her head.

Rachel soon jumped down from the table and walked down the hallway taking them by surprise, but they were quick to follow behind her after Kristen took her weapons from the table. They found that the glass had been broken which surprised Kristen as she didn't realize he had that much physical strength. They approached him from behind as they found him kicking at the door with all his might.

"Damn it!" They heard him say, "It's not opening after all. The fuck do I do now? I don't have a damn clue…"

The three of them stopped in their tracks, and he finally took notice of them as he turned to them. "Oh Red Eyes, your still alive? And the four eyes are here after all?" He said, "What are the three of you doing, just waltzing up like that?"

Faith couldn't help but hide behind Kristen, as Kristen herself said, "We just happened to be going this way in case you haven't noticed."

The Killer clicked his tongue at the tone she spoke; she flinched a little when she held the scythes blade to her neck.

"Don't you notice the freaking scythe in my hand?" He said with a glare of his own, "I can kill you right where you stand you know?"

Kristen soon pulled out her gun, shutting off the safety and pointing it towards his face, though he didn't seem phased by it. "I bet you can't even dodge a bullet at this close range." She said, "Ever stop to consider that?"

The Killer smiled at this, "Is that a challenge, Red Eyes?"

"Kristen, don't!" Faith exclaimed, "You know this guy can kill you right!?"

Before Kristen could retort, Rachel suddenly stepped in between them, taking them by surprise as Kristen pulled back her gun. "Mister…" Rachel started to say, "... Can I ask you a favor?"

"Huh?" The Killer said, tilting his head a little.

"A favor?" Kristen repeated.

Rachel put both of her hands together as she brought them close to her chest, as if she had been praying, before she looked at him with a dead look in her eyes, only asking one thing.

"Please… Kill me."

Kristen and Faith were put into shock by this, and even the Killer had been shocked by what she had asked of him as his scythe dropped out of his hands and his jaw dropped; the scythe made a clang noise as it landed on the ground.

"Ra… Rachel…?" Faith said as her voice shook, "You… Can't be serious with that right? You're joking… Aren't you?"

Kristen put her gun in the holster as she stepped in front of her, grasping her shoulders, but not roughly. "Kid, you can't just ask something like that out of the blue!" Kristen told her, shaking her a little, "What about the people that are waiting for you?! Your mom and dad!?"

Rachel looked to Kristen, her ocean blue eyes, mixing with her crimson red eyes as she shook her head, "... It's alright." She told her in a monotone voice, "This is my choice Kristen."

"But--" Kristen said feeling conflicted, "--But I told you I'd get you out of here. I told you I'd keep you safe, that I would keep you alive!" She gritted her teeth and Rachel felt her grip tighten on her shoulder, "It's my fault isn't it? I should've done something sooner, instead of sitting there and--"

Kristen froze up when she felt Rachel's hand on top of her own. "It's not your fault." Rachel told her, "Don't blame yourself. If I were to stay alive--"

Rachel's sentence had been cut off when they heard the sound of someone throwing up. The three of them noticed that the Killer was on the floor as he puked out whatever had been in the continents of his stomach, leaving them quite speechless at this as neither of them didn't know what they should say. He stood up, picking up his scythe.

"Don't say creepy shit like that!" He yelled, hitting his fist onto the door, "I don't have time to deal with a couple of crazy freaks like you!"

"Hey!" Faith shouted, as they both felt insulted by this.

"Says the guy carrying a scythe around and looking like a mummy?" Kristen said, putting her arms across her chest.

"Don't start Red Eyes!" The Killer yelled angrily, "If one of you can spew out that kind of shit, than you can make yourselves useful and open the damn--"

CLICK.

The elevator doors soon opened, taking the Killer back as the hallway seemed to be a bit brighter from the lights within; The Killer looked to them with a quizzical expression.

Faith held up what looked to be a device with a key, "I found this in his coat pocket." She explained, "I activated the controls to the elevator before we came here."

"He shouldn't have said that this was his floor." Kristen said, "Made it too obvious in my opinion."

The Killer laughed amusingly at this, "Well you're smarter than I gave you credit for!" He soon thought of an idea.

"Hey, you kid." He said, "You asked me to kill you, right?"

"I did." Rachel replied.

"And you two…" He said look to Kristen and Faith, "... Your both smart and want to get out of this place without dying don't ya?"

"That's right." Faith answered hesitantly.

"Are you trying to make a point?" Kristen asked.

"See the thing is Red Eyes… I'm about as dumb as a rock." The Killer admitted, "You three can put your heads together, and help me get out of this place. Once we're outside, this kid had better make it for me, and than…"

He put his blade so that it had been around Rachel's body, making Faith jump and Kristen reach for the gun on the holster.

"I'll kill her… Just like she asked." The Killer said calmly.

Rachel's eyes only brightened a little, "Do you mean that?" She asked.

"Yeah…" The Killer replied, "... So as you three do your job right."

"Okay than." Rachel said.

He removed his blade from Rachel, allowing Kristen to relax a little, though she still had been uneasy. Faith was the same as well as she couldn't help but gulp.

"Now don't get all hyper." He told them, "When I see someone who's acting really happy…" He smiled a wide grin as if he had been the Cheshire Cat, ".... Well, I can't resist cutting them up."

"You kill anyone that smiles?" Faith asked curiously, "Is that really your M-O for killing people?"

"The fucks an M-O?" He asked her, losing his smile, taking them back a bit as they exchanged confusing glances to each other.

"It's a shorter term for method of operation." Faith clarified, "Didn't you know that?"

"No, why did you think I asked you four eyes?" The Killer told her, before he took a look at Rachel, "At least, getting hyper won't be an issue for one of you." He turned to go into the elevator, though it hadn't been long before he looked over his shoulder.

"What are your names?" He asked.

Rachel gave him an immediate reply, "Rachel Gardner."

He gave Faith a look as he turned back around, and though she was hesitant once more she gave her reply, "It's Faith. My name is Faith."

"There is no last name that goes with that Four Eyes?" The Killer asked.

Faith had told him, "Well… It's not that I have a last name, it's just… Some last names are personal, you know? I just happen to be one that doesn't like to give a full name."

"That the truth?" He asked again.

Faith didn't respond with words as she just gave a nod to him. He sighed before he turned to Kristen, "And you? You got a name, don't ya Red Eyes?"

Kristen still held her glare, "I'm not giving you my name."

"You're being stubborn now?" He said, "I'm not asking much, just your name damn it."

She gave a sneer this time, "Like I'd give my name to someone that literally tried to kill me on the previous floor, and not to mention gave me these." She gestured to her bandaged wounds at this and the Killer groaned out of annoyance.

"That was your own damn fault!" The Killer told her, "If you weren't holding that knife in a shitty way, you'd actually have a chance!"

"First of all language, they're children present!" Kristen said, "Second, stop bad mouthing the way I hold a knife! I can hold it just fine, thank you!"

The Killer couldn't help but click his tongue as his body twitched, "Fine! If you're gonna be like that, than don't tell me your name! Not like I give two shits about it anyway."

"Watch it." Kristen growled.

The Killer couldn't help but give Kristen a sneer of his own as he gritted his teeth.

"What about you mister?" Rachel soon asked, getting his attention, "What's your name?"

The Killer seemed to have lost his expression before he gave a smirk as he replied, "The name's Zack. Nice to meet ya." The Killer named Zack looked at Kristen who still held her glare, "Well most of you."

Kristen's eyebrow twitched slightly at this, as she felt herself boil with a bit of rage again. "Why the fuck did she remind me anyone again?" Zack thought to himself before he went to enter the elevator.

"Let's go." Zack told them.

"Okay." Rachel said, following him inside.

"Ye-yeah." Faith added as she did the same.
