"Wha? But but, this is where we came in." I said in a shaky and disbelieving tone.
"That don't make any sense," Applebloom said scratching her head. "Maybe the exit is down at the end of this hall way."
"We can't just run around aimlessly all night looking for the exit, at least not with a murderer in the mansion." Silver Spoon said flusteredly .
"Well we ain't got much of a choice now do we. Come on lets see where this leads." red haired pony claimed as she walked slowly into the new hallway.
Normally we would have been more upset that our friend was dead but right now all that mattered was that we didn't end up like her. That also brought up the questions as if anyone else had been killed, and if anyone else had gotten lost on the way out. I just kept looking around and thinking to my self that this couldn't be happening and that we weren't lost in a maze of a mansion with a killer. I was hoping that this was another nightmare and that I was going to wake up in that brick of a bed back at the orphanage, or that I had too much sugar and I will wake up in Appleblooms bedroom and just need to vomit. All I could do was hope. We got to the end of the hall and saw two big double doors.
"Alright here we go." Applebloom said and pushed them open.
There we stood directly beck in the same lobby that we had just left. I sat down and began to cry not knowing what else to do and at the loss of my friend. The doors closed automatically behind us with a loud bang separating us from Silver Spoon and the other hallway. Diamond Tiara and Applebloom opened the door again to see that Silver spoon was no longer there and that it one of the fourth floor hallways. The four of us walked into the hallway and looked around to see that it really was the fourth floor we heard the door close and say that it was just a closet door. We experimented with the other doors to see if they did similar things and they did not it seemed as though only the front door was capable of putting you randomly somewhere in the house. So we moved cautiously through the house back to the stairs and back down to the first floor. As we sat there waiting for Silver Spoon to find her way back we all talked about how we could escape, and we decided to go up to the second floor and go out through a window.
After sitting for two hours, we decided that we had to move or else we wouldn't have another chance. The four of us made are way up the stairs in the main hall and into one of the rooms, It was a small guest room and it had been clearly used to have been a hospital patient room. That makes sense because before Alucard bought the property and turned it into his mansion it used to be a hospital that specialized in lobotomy's. That's why people never liked to visit this place and people believe that is also why Alucard eventually disappeared. He mostly used it as a hotel like complex and lived in one of the smaller buildings. I have heard just about every rummer about this place there was. So now we are all in the room and we close the door behind us, I walk over to the window and it's locked so I reach up to unlock it when a single drop of blood falls on my hoof. I looked at it and then looked up to where it fell from and saw a jawless, bald, thing with soulless eyes. I backed up and froze as it dropped down and started to move toward me on two legs, it reached its arms out at me and it let out the most inhuman sound I have ever heard and we just all screamed and ran, and this thing ran after us. As we ran out of the room and down the hall we could hear this thing gaining on us and then suddenly it just stopped and stood there listening, then it turned and ran into an open room and we couldn't hear it anymore.
As we stood there trying to catch our breath we could hear a distant sound of something being dragged. We all calmed down and looked in the direction of the strange sound, it sounded like it was getting closer. Then at the end of the hallway was the same kind of thing again but larger and had a metal helmet on his head that was bullet shaped and had two eye holes, he was grunting and sounded angry. As he came more around the bend I could see that he was dragging a large bloody double headed battle ax and that he was clearly coming after us. My heart sank as with a sudden burst of energy he lifted the ax into the air and ran a full speed down the hall and swung the ax. I barely had time to duck and even so I could hear the sickening sound of the ax making contact with flesh and muscle and the cracking a bone met steel. I looked and saw the ax buried deep into Diamond Tiara's collar bone and I saw as the thing pulled the ax down through her body cutting her almost completely in half vertically. I couldn't help it but I turned and barfed all over the floor. Then I saw the thing winding up for another attack and my legs just felt like jelly. Then in a burst of adrenalin I jumped forward and kicked the thing right in the stomach, not excepting this it dropped the ax in surprise and we took of running. We didn't know where we were running to but we just ran.
By the time we finally stopped we had put lots of distance between it and us. we just kept breathing heavily and kept saying how surprised we where that we were alive. Then we started taking about an escape plan again. Our plan this time was to go and try the other buildings to see if there was any other way to get out of the building, seeing as the front door was hexed and the windows were guarded by those littler things. it seemed like that maybe you can't escape to keep those things in. Maybe Alucard had put up the curse so that nothing could get out once it's inside. At any rate their only chance was to at least try the other buildings to see if there was a way, and in order to do that they would have to get to the tunnels.
So after Applebloom and Sweetie Belle felt ready we made our way slowly and quietly back to the lift. Once there we piled inside and descended down into the basement level. We stepped out and made sure it was clear on all sides and then we moved into the center of the basement. In the basement there was a blackboard, some chairs, and a table as this had been where the doctors had their lounge. Sweetie Belle started to cry when she saw what it said on the blackboard. In calk it read as though it was a memo for the doctors.
New Patient Arrivals: Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo. Estimated healing time eternity
In addition to this all the other names of everypony else who was there was written with a slash through their names. And as I looked at the board a sensation of just pure helplessness just washed over me and I knew there would be know way out. Then I shook of the feeling and say come on and we move over and head down into the tunnels.
