Death Palace

Chapter 4

We finally arive home. Alex came too. I show her the house and we all go to "my" room.

"Sooo... What happens now?" Alex asked while we sat on my bed.

"Well, we won't sleep now, let's do something!" Zoe said, looking excited.

"Maybe we can... Try to cook something using random things from the kitchen?" I sugest, more asking if we could do that.

I just remember being pulled to the kitchen and seeing every kind of meal. They put something to cover my eyes and I pick some of the ingredients. Ok, I can't lie, this was one of the things I really wanted to do when I had friends.

"So, what are you going to do, miss Jen?" I heard Zoe voice, so I try to turn to her.

"I'll bake a pie, or maybe a cake. It depends of what I get." I say, right before taking off the thing that was covering my eyes. I got all the ingredients for a cake "I did it! I got them right!"

I got to happy for that, I didn't even thought about how it happened. I did it all with the touch of my hands and my luck. I ignored that and just accepted that I did it and I could bake a good cake.

...

"Jens, that was the best cake I've ever eaten in my entire life, and I used to eat brigadeiro all weekends on Brasil! You really got some friendship points there." Alex said, eating a piece of the chocolate cake I just baked.

"Welp, I guess I'm a love life character now." I said, thinking she wouldn't recognize the game.

"Marry me. Just marry me. Let's have a dog named Castiel and a cat named Lysandre." Alex said, holding my hands.

"Well of course I will. When is the marriage? What's the cake flavor? What's the themeeee?!" We laughed and we kept on eating the cake.

...

"Ok, ladies, it's time to... Oh, you have a new friend!" My mother said smiling "I'm Jennifer's mother. It's really nice to meet you."

"Hi miss Jen's mom. I like your nails." Alex said after looking at my mother's black nails.

My mother smiled and thanked her for the compliment. Then she said goodnight and she went out of the room.

"What was that?" Zoe asked after the conversation between Alex and my mother.

"Just trying to make sure my future motherin law won't hate me." Alex said before looking at me smirking.

"Shut up..." my voice were heard and I blushed with a little smile.

I started to feel sleepy. My eyes are closing slowly. It's time to go... To that ploace, again.

...

I open my eyes and look around. There is a big, but somehow small black room, with black walls, black ground and a black ceiling. There is nothing here... Wait, there are two girls who look my age. I know them. Zoe and Alex! My best friends! My only friends.

"Z! Al! Are you ok?" I run to them and I touch theyr arms as they sit and look at me.

"Jen...? Or should I say... Love of my life?" Alex said with a smile.

"Don't scare me like that! It's terrifying to be the first one to wake up!" I totally ignored the fact that Alex said I'm the love of her life.

We get up of the floor and looked at the door. There was this girl, looking at us. She had black hair and green eyes.

"Hey." She said "You are the ones that could escape from here, right?"

"Maybe?" Alex answered.

"Great! Soo you can take me with you." The girl show us a corner smile as she plays with her baseball bat.

"Wait, before that, we have to ask you to do something." The girl waits and keep looking at us "We have to find each other at the shopping."

Zoe gave the girl the location of the shopping, telling her to find us at the fountain.

"Seems ok to me." The girl said "Oh, by the way, my name is Tokyo."

"Like the city?" Zoe asked with a smile.

"Yeah, like the city. And you?" Tokyo looks at all of us, waiting for an answer.

"I'm Zoe, but you can call me Z. That is Alexandra, or Alex, or Al. And that's Jennifer, Jenny or Jen."

Tokyo nods and she open the door, trying not to make any noise. We see the empty black hallway with all the usual doors. Tokyo looks at us and I go out first. They all come behind me.

"Guys..." Alex start "Those guys are coming again!"

I look back to see four guys running in our direction.

"Holy shi-" Tokyo sarted as she looked at a big man with a white face, long arms and legs and a smily face that looked like was cuted on his face, what made her stop talking.

"That's one of the leaders! Run!" Zoe screams and we all do as she said. We run until I saw the brown door.

"It's the door!" I scream.

"You are not leaving soo soon today, ladies!" It's Caleb.

A knife is thrown and Tokyo hit it on the air with the bat. Then we all continue running faster. I open the door and we all go outside. I close it  as fast as I can and I push Tokyo to the well. Then we jump as the door opened.

...

I open my eyes at the same time Alex and Zoe did. We look at each other and we all get up.

"Let's go, we have to find Tokyo." Zoe said.

"Miss, it's Sunday. Tomorrow we have school." Alex said "And I have to go home. Unless my future mother in law adopt me or something."

"Well, you can't marry your sister." I said, tilting my head.

"We're not related by blood, love." She winked with a smile.

"Call your parents. After we get Tokyo we're going to get your stuff." I said with a corner smile.

...

"Hey." We look up to find Tokyo looking at us.

"Question, you brought your stuff?" Alex asked.

"Yeah. There's school tomorrow and I was hoping you'd invite me to stay at your place." Tokyo said, not looking like she wanted to go back to her home.

We continued to talk and I saw a guy looking in our direction. He has brown hair, an orange jacket and he looks really tired. Wait... I know that jacket.

"Zoe..." She looks at me and I keep on looking at the guy. "Those people can come here too? On the day time."

"Yes. Why?" She sees I'm getting pale and looks at the same direction I am looking.

"That looks bad... Isn't that the guy that follows you?" Alex asked as she saw the man.

"We have to leave. Now." Tokyo said as she called for a taxi.

We get in the taxi and we ask for the driver to go to Alex home. She get her stuff and we go home in a Uber. This is bad. This doen't look good at all.
