The Continued Search

Previous Chapter

Braeburn searched the room therally and checked the cabinets. He found vast quantities of medicine and a pair of scissors drenched in blood. Apple Jack examined a sink and tried to turn it on. Not a drop of water. "I didn't realize how thirsty I am..." she stated. "And tired..."

"There's a couple of beds over there..." Apple Jack nodded and walked over to the beds. She laid down. She patted the bed beside her beckoning Braeburn to come lay down. He followed and laid down beside her. "It couldn't hurt to lie down for a bit..." Braeburn added.

"I'm hungry..." Apple Jack inquired.

"I know, me too."

"I wonder what time it is. Feels like around dinner time... with granny Smith..." she sighed, "I wanna go home."

Braeburn smiled, "don't worry, we'll get home. We'll find a way." He said with encouraging words. "Once we find miss cherilee and the others, we'll find a way to get out."

"Ok... if you believe that... then I'll believe it too..." Apple Jack slowly fell asleep after her last few words.

Braeburn sighed, "'it'll all work out' huh? We can't even open the windows let alone get outside... I basically just told the element of honesty a lie... but I guess it's the hope that encourages us to keep going... keep living..." Later Braeburn woke up. "ugh... I must of dozed... ugh, what am I doing? This is not the time to be sleeping!"

Apple Jack woke up. "Braeburn?" He groaned and muttered. "Ah, t-this isn't... home..." Tears came to Apple jacks eyes.

"Don't cry Apple Jack! It will only be a little while longer, I promise!" Apple Jack continued to cry. "When we get back, I'll buy you a caramel apple ok?"

"A green Apple, with the nuts?"

"Anything you want..."

"Okay..." Apple Jack finished. Braeburn giggled and thought to himself, "Apples, they get her every time!" He got up from the bed and questioned, "feel better from your nap?" She nodded and got up. Suddenly, a newspaper appeared in the corner of the room. They walked over to it and Braeburn picked it up. It read:

""Three children abducted and killed: the brutal and unkindly deaths of the grade schoolers was traced back to find their instructor was the one who killed all of them. The instructor was found with a pair of sharp sewing scissors used to cut the tongues out of the children, causing their death from blood loss or choking. One of the girls even had her head slowly and painfully removed, as her head was found laying next to her mangled body. Out of the three children, there was one missing when investigators arrived at the crime scene. Inves---" the rest of the words are covered by smeared dry blood.

"Braeburn... the children in the picture..."

"Yeah... that was is the girl we saw earlier..."

"C-can we get out of this room?"

"Yeah..." Braeburn finished. As they began walking out the door, a voice from no where yelled, "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Apple Jack shivered. "Was that Flash Century's voice!? Common, let's go!" As they walked out the door, they were stopped by a red sticky residue on the floor, as if someone was dragged down the hallway. "Is that... blood!?" Apple Jack shrieked. They continued walking down the hallway when they heard a camera flash. They continued forward and saw a boy taking pictures. He turned around. "Braeburn, Apple Jack! It's nice to finally see someone from class..." the boy said.

"Thunderlane?" Braeburn questioned. He nodded. Braeburn looked around him and shrieked. Blood and guts stained the wall.

Apple Jack tilted her head, "what?" When she say the blood and guts she shivered. "What is- is this a- was this a person!?" Braeburn quivered.

"Awful sight, ain't it? Seems like pulverized human remains to me." Thunderlane implied. "There's some breast meat, so I'm guessing it's a female. I've never seen something so horrific. Makes me wanna throw up."

"Y-yeah..." Braeburn sighed. "I'm just glad ur okay. Have you come alone any of the others?"

"I'm afraid I haven't. I woke up here a while ago and haven't found anyone else but you guys."

"Same here, we haven't found anyone either?"

"S-so you haven't come found Rainbow Dash?" Thunderlane sighed and looked away. "Poor girl..."

"Poor girl? I'm sure she can handle herself!" Braeburn encouraged.

"R-right... I hope..."

"How about we try to look for her?" Apple Jack added.

"No, if we split up it will only make things worse. We could come across others and not be able to find each other again. So I'm going to continue the search by myself."

Braeburn continued, "alright, if you find anyone else, tell them to meet in room 1-A. They will be our designated spot." He smiled.

Thunderlane sighed, "okay..." and walked away.
