Chapter Five

"Wolfie!" I cried as his dead body hit the ground. I ran over to him and lifted his was up.
"Is he-" Yugi asked, trailing off.
"Yep." Astro said sadly.
The clock turned to 6 AM just then. It was time for us to get out of here.
I sighed and put Wolfie's body next to the decaying bodies of Blue and Damon. Cassie's was there but she wasn't too bad. Blue and Damon smelled badly but you didn't really notice the smell when you were trying to keep yourself from dying all the time.
"Poor Wolfie." Ellanore said as we walked out of the office. "I feel so bad."
"Don't." I said. "He's happy."
"And how the hell do you know that?" Astro asked, crossing his arms. "Did his ghost speak to you?"
"Yes." I said, crossing my arms as well. "And I really can speak to ghosts."
"Is that so?" He said.
"Yes." I said. "I really don't know how to prove it to you so you're just going to have to trust me."
"I don't think that I can." He said as we left the building.
"Then don't." I said as I began walking out to my car. "That's fine by me."
"Stop it you two." Ellanore said. "You both are being really immature."
"He started it!" I said, crossing my arms.
"Wow." Ellanore said. "Like that was any better."
"Let's just go before things get too out of hand." Astro said.
"Agreed." Yugi said.

When I got home, I sat on my bed and closed my eyes. I tried my best to focus on speaking to everyone that has died so far.
"Liz! Look!"
I heard the sound of Wolfie's voice. I
opened my eyes and saw that he was hugging Cassie.
"We're together again!"
"I see that." I said. "I'm glad that you're happy."
"And I'm glad that the narrator decided to shut up." A familiar voice said. "Man, they were annoying."
"Damon!" I said happily.
"Yep. That's my name." He said. "Don't wear it out."
I rolled my eyes at his usual smugness.
"Damon, can you for once in your life not be smug?" Blue complained. "It's not that hard."
Damon smiled and winked at me before turning to Blue.
"That's just who I am." He said. "You gotta problem with that?"
"Yep." She said, crossing her arms.
"Don't fight guys." I said.
"Okay." Damon said, looking at me again. "We won't."
"Damon, are you flirting with Liz?" Cassie asked.
"What? No?" He said, crossing his arms in defense. "That's insane. Why would I be flirting with someone like her?"
"You better watch it." I snapped.
"I was just kidding." He said, smiling at me again. It was a different smile. It wasn't the smile that he gave me when he was being smug. It was...different, to say the least.
"Well, I'm going to bed guys." I said. "I'll talk to you guys later."
"Bye Liz!" Wolfie said right before I closed my eyes.

I returned for the fifth night at Hell. Okay. It wasn't really hell but it seemed like it was.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Hey." Astro said bitterly.
"Hi." Ellanore said more pleasantly.
"What's happening?" Yugi asked, waiting for the doors to open.
"Oh, nothing much." I said. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Damon standing alone. "I'll be back."
"Where the hell are you going?" Astro asked as I walked towards Damon.
I ignored him and went up to Damon.
"Hey." I said, smiling.
He turned around and said, "Oh. Hey Liz. Glad you could come and talk before you got sent into a night of Hell."
"Yeah." I said, looking down at the ground.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Oh. Nothing." I said, looking up at him.
"Liz." He said like I had just told him something that was full of bullshit. "I know that something's wrong. Tell me."
"Well, Astro doesn't believe me when I say that I can talk to ghosts." I said. "How can I make him believe me?"
"You can't." He said. "But that's okay. Because I don't think you're crazy."
"Wow." I said. "That's really something."
"But I do think that that narrator is annoying." He said.
I chuckled and said, "Well, I have to go. Maybe I'll see you around?"
"There's no maybe about it." He said. "But there is a yes."
I smiled and rejoined the others just as they were entering the building.
"What the hell were you doing over there?" Ellanore asked.
"I can't tell you because Astro will think I'm crazy." I said.
"But I don't think that you're crazy." She said. "You can tell me."
"Fine." I said as we walked to the office. "I was talking to Damon. Actually, we've been talking a lot since he's died."
"What kind of talking?" She asked. "Like normal everyday talking or something more than that?"
"You could say that it's more than just everyday talking." I said.
"No way!" She said. "You like Damon!"
"What? No!" I said. "He's dead. It would be kinda strange to like someone that's dead."
"Well, you never know," Yugi said. "you could be dead after tonight."
Astro turned around and slapped him on the face. "What a dick thing of you to say you fucker."
"What's?" Yugi said, putting a hand over the cheek that Astro slapped. "You've gotta be prepared for the worst."
"Whatever you bastard." Astro said as we walked out of the office. "I don't hear a word out of your damn mouth for the rest of the night."
"Why are you acting like an asshole?" Ellanore said. "Yeah, what Yugi said wasn't exactly nice but you could've done without slapping him."
"I can't let him get away with what he said." Astro said.
"Whatever." I said. "Let's just get through tonight."
The phone rang and Bree's usual greeting came.
"Hi there guinea pigs. I honestly can't believe that it's already night five. Seems like these nights have been going by so fast. Well, for me at least. Maybe not so much for you. As you probably know by now, one of you will be dying tonight. I know exactly who it is. But don't think that for one second that I'm going to tell you."
She hung up and we began the fight for our lives. Yugi took camera duty, Ellanore and I took care of flashlight duty, and Astro was in charge of the vents.
"Already?" Ellanore said, seeing Foxy in the hallway and flashing the light. "Well, it is night five after all."
"At least we don't have to worry about that kid anymore." Astro said. "Good call on smashing him to bits."
"I'm surprised that Bree didn't get pissed off." I said. "She seems to get pissed off about a lot of things."
"No kidding." Yugi said.
"Shit." Ellanore muttered. We were at five AM currently but it was only a few minutes into being five AM. "Masks on everybody. Old Bonnie's coming in."
We put the masks on and watched as Bonnie examined each and every one of us. I made a rash decision and took my mask off.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Astor asked. "Put the mask back on you dumbass!"
"No!" I said. "I can't believe that I'm doing this but I'm going to let you survive, you dickface."
I approached Old Bonnie, crossing my arms to show him that I meant business.
"I can't let you do it!" Astro said, taking off his mask as well. "I may think that you're out of your damn mind but that doesn't mean that I'm going to let you die."
"Same here." Ellanore said, removing her mask as well.
"Don't forget about me." Yugi said, throwing his mask on the ground. "We're all in this together."
Old Bonnie looked at us, confused.
"Make your move." I said. "We're not afraid to kick your endoskeleton ass."
He looked offended at this and took a step closer towards me.
"Really?" Astro said, sounding unimpressed. "This is all you got? Come on! Give us all that you got!"
He took a step towards Astro and his red eye flickered.
"I'm beaten!" Astro said, faking being hurt. "But seriously. You're fucking shitting me. Just attack already. We're not afraid of you!"
He went for me, sharply kicking me in the knee. I didn't fall over though. In fact, I punched him in the chest. The only downside to doing that was it hurt my fist like hell.
"Get outta here!" Ellanore said, trying to push Old Bonnie out of the room. This failed however and he got on top of her.
"Get off!" I yelled, throwing myself on top of him. Yugi and Astro did the same thing. He did eventually get off and, with me lying on the ground, stepped on my chest. I could hear my ribs cracking. I bit my lip in an attempt to hold on a scream. But, someone, one still managed to escape my lips.
"Liz!" Yugi yelled, trying to get Old Bonnie off of me.
But he never did get off. I slowly let out my last breath and closed my eyes for the very last time.
