Chapter 15 - Dead Ends, Dead Friends

Lorie ran back to the maze of the storage room. She ran and ran— eventually she got lost in the middle of that specific storage room. She looked around and went in every way but it was all dead-ends.

"This can't be! No way!" Lorie whispered at herself while looking at her front. Michael was standing in front of her and punched her with all strength. She bled and thought it was the end of her painful journey. 

The three boys chased her footprints but it suddenly got lost by the wind. They split up and looked in every direction of the maze. All of them yelled her name while trying to find her.

"Stop playing with us!" Alex opened his flashlight and pointed it towards the end to the hallway and saw The Woman in Black. He immediately turned back to his companions. 

"Guys! I saw the woman! Come here!" Alex said as he was running rapidly.

"Oh no, I don't remember the path." He ran and never gave up. He didn't expect that the woman would be faster than him. 

Sison immediately went searching through all of the ways in the maze-like storage room. 

"How is this storage room so big!" 

Tim hurriedly tried to find Sison but the maze was too hard. He couldn't hear a thing because he was too far away. His eyesight started to become blurry and he passed out just a few steps of walking. 

Sison heard the movements of the shelves and echoed to the storage room.

Alex was still running and eventually, he came to a way where it was dead-end. He stood there and held his fists.

"Come on! Try me!" 

"I will not kill you, for now. You're good use. Now, I must ask you. Where is Tim?"

"I don't know! How am I supposed to know when I'm lost here too! Where is Lorie? Where is she!"

"I can not tell you about it for it will be a sin for our glorious entity. It cannot be told to anyone— no. I am already their glorious queen." The Woman in Black told him.

Alex ran very fast towards her but she had already taken out the knife in her back. When the boy was finally near her, she stabbed Alex in his chest.

"You. are. a. naughty. one. I said I won't kill you but well, you don't follow rules." The woman told him. 

Alex has teared up and screeched in pain. The woman pulled the knife out of Alex's body and slapped him.

"You're no good use after all, young man." The woman left him bleeding on the floor. 

He asked for help but no one came. He had begged but no man arrived at his location. Eventually, he passed away from loss of blood in him. 

"I'm on my way, Alex!" He yelled but all he could hear was the echo of his voice. He finally found the blood trails in the maze. Sison followed it and when it was the end of the trail— he saw Alex's body lying on the ground. The body was pale and his eyes were all white. There were many flies flying around the victim's dead body. 

"Oh no! I failed you! No! Alex!" Sison crashed out and felt emotional. He can't save a man's life anymore. 

"Am I that weak? Am I that weak enough to not save a kid?" Sison told himself.

"Well, you are indeed weak." Michael said it and looked at him in the end of the hallway. He was grabbing Lorie in the head and was crying.

"Don't hurt her! She hasn't done anything to you." Sison murmured in pain.

"Do you love her?" Michael asked.

"I said, do you love her!" Michael shouted at the kid.

"Please just let her go! I beg you!" Sison told the man.

"No."

The door suddenly opened behind him and dragged Lorie inside it. The door locked but he still tried to break in. He kicked and punched the door— he did everything he could do. But, nothing happened. The door was too strong to be broken by a teenager. 

"Help me! Sison, where are you!" Tim shouted. He was grabbing the shelf while trying to get up. 

Sison ran towards the noise that Tim was making. He entered every direction but there was nothing— all were dead-ends. 

"Where the hell are you?!" Sison yelled but no one answered. He still looked around but found nothing. He lost hope and sat there. Tears were dropping out of his eyes.

"What is this happening to me?"

Angela woke up in a truck but she was in a capsule-like. She screamed and punched the glass but it was too strong and did not break. 

"Get me the fuck out of here, asshole"

The ice cream man came up to the capsule and pressed something. It was the turn on button. 

"A good drink for the good people."

The ice cream man used the method "Frozen Delights" on his victim.

As the truck zeroes in on the victim, they are placed into a capsule mimicking that of a freezer due to the freezing temperatures of the vehicle. As their entire body freezes, the killer takes them out and begins to slice open their head, revealing their brain. 

Once the brain is revealed, The ice cream man then grabbed a machine used to create slushy substances and used it to swish and slush the brain into a mushy mess, before precisely shaping it into what appears to be "ice cream in a tub".

The ice cream man tasted it and it tasted really good, he said. He was very excited to sell it for tomorrow. 

Sison got up and continued to find a way out of the storage room. He eventually got out of the shelves and went upstairs. He looked for any things that would help him find the mystery of this shop and its owner.
