~Me too.lol.Okay,Chase and Gunnar need to get back into the story.hint,hint.~
Matt struggled to bring down the ladder and was finally able to do so.
"Get up there!" whispered Matt.
Lainie and Savannah climbed steadily up the ladder.
"Matt!C'mon!" Lainie whispered.
Just then,the knife that had gotten halfway throught he door came out and then there was silence.
"Matt,c'mon!He's gone!" said Lainie reaching out for Matt's hand.
But he didn't move.
"What's wrong Matt?"
"Chase and Vash.They're still out there.And so are about 200 other students." said Matt quietly.

Lainie still held her hand out, not saying anything. She slowly lowered it and sighed. Her looked at Matt. "You're right... It would be wrong to leave them. But are we supposed to do, Matt? Run out there and rescue them all? Look at you. You're a mess. You've no chance of surviving if you go out there again..." She looked at him. "Don't go. Please." Matt looked down. He knew Lainie was right, but he felt wrong leaving everyone out there. "Lainie,"he sighed as he looked up at her,"I have to go..." She sighed knowingly. After moments of silence, she put her hand on his shoulder. "I know..." Just then, she felt a drop fall onto her shoulder. The two looked up and saw Savannah. Tears fell down her cheeks as she stared at the two of them. She shot a look of resentment towards them both, turned away quickly, and disappeared through the opening in the ceiling. "Savannah, wait!" Matt called to her. He closed his eyes and sighed. He then turned away, opened the door and walked out into the dark empty hallway.
All Matt could do was sit down.Was Savannah mad at him?
And if she was,why?
This was as hard on him as it was everybody else.
"No." said Matt finally.
"That SOB isn't going to ruin my life again..."
"not when i've finally put it together again."
He took a last look up at the ladder.
"I love you Savannah."
Just in case he didn't get a chance to say it to her he thought.
And with that,he headed out the door,a bloody mess,to try and cheat death one last time.

Savannah tried very hard to hold her tears inside. "I love you too" she called to Matt. As soon as Matt ran out the door, she couldn't keep the tears in any longer. She leaned back against the wall and bursted out into tears. She felt like someone punched her in the stomach. Right after Matt left, she felt like something was missing in her life. "I'm not going to sit here and wonder if I'll ever get to see my boyfriend" she whispered to herself. She looked down at Lainie and her hurt leg. She quickly wiped the tears away and walked over towards her hurt friend. She put her arm over Lainie and helped her into an opening where she knew Lainie might be safe. Savannah took a deep breath. "Stay here. I'll be back soon." With that Savannah hurriedly ran back to the outside.
Lainie called out to Savannah. "Savannah, wait!" She tried to get up, but quickly fell back down. She rubbed her leg and winced with pain. She was loosing a lot of blood and needed to find something to close the wound. She search all around her, feeling allong the wooden floor in to dark attic-like room they had found. Finally, her hand came across an old rag. Lainie tore at it until it ripped and she tied the piece tightly around her leg. She sat in the dark, trembling with fear as she thought about Matt and Savannah out there. Before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face. She made no attempt to wiped them away, but just let them fall down her cheek and onto her blood-drenched dress. For what seemed like hours, she sat there in the dark and cried. She cried so long and so hard, she didn't even here the eerie sound of the closet door creeping open and footsteps making their way into the closet and up the ladder...
The sound of footsteps was near and Lainie was on her own.The steps had almost reached her and she grabbed the sharpest thing she could find and braced for a showdown.
Meanwhile,Matt walked forward in the dark,defenselss and alone.
He saw the fire extinguisher on the wall to his right.He limped over to the wall and grabbed it.
He heard rushing footsteps behind him and he turned around with the fire extinguisher,prepared to lash out until he saw
Savannah!
"Oh thank you jesus!" said Matt.
He rushed forward and grabbed Savannah,kissing her.
"Thank god you're safe."
"I'm alright." said Savannah.
They just embraced each other for a moment.
"My ankle hurts though,because I tripped over something." said Savannah finally.
Matt shined a flashlight he was carrying over where Savannah had walked and saw what she had tripped over.
one of the cops chaperoning the prom who had had his throat slit and was lying in a pool of blood.
"Oh god..." they said together.
"Wait a minute." said Matt turning to Savannah.
"Where's Lainie?"
"She's back there in the room,I told her i'd be right back."
They heard rustling and screams coming from the room.
"Shit!"
Matt handed Savannah the fire extinguisher and took a gun from the dead cop's holster and ran to the sound.

Allie stayed with the group.
"We need to find everyone else" She said.
Then she heard screams.
"Oh my god I think that was Lainie." she said running towards the screams.
Lainie screamed as loud as she could as she fought off her attacker. The room was so dark and she couldn't see who this person was, but something deep down told her it wasn't her usual attacker. Suddenly, the person gained the upper hand and hit her good and hard over the head. She barely had a hold of consciousness as the attacker dragged her along the floor. Then, he propped her up against a wall and tied something around her neck. Lainie was starting to lose consciousness completely when he tied the other end of the wire to to top of the ladder, and pushed Lainie out the little ceiling door. Lainie forced her fingers between the wire and her neck and fought for breath as she watched her killer walk out of the closet. Her head started pounding so hard she thought it would explode. She was getting weak and knew her time was up. Suddenly, Matt and Savannah burst through the door. They looked up in horror at their friend's body dangling from the ceiling. Savannah screamed and Lainie went limp.
~Slasher, I am not sure if I am dead or not. Its all up to you! :-) ~
