Back again. There is a major warning for this chapter and all the ones following. It's going to get bloody and I mean bloody. Think Saw bloody. There is going to be a lot of torture and for those that do not like blood or have a weak stomach I suggest you do not read any farther. If you do, don't blame me. I warned ya. On with the show.

They all walked up to the plain brown door of the office and stopped. "Hey Mick. You going to pick it again?" Vince asked sarcastically. "No, dumbass. It's unlocked." Mick twisted the knob and, lo and behold, it swung open. "You know what, Mick? I feel like I should bow down to you." Fang said. He glanced at her. "Kinky." Fang blushed and ignored the laughter coming from her band. It was a known fact that Fang had a crush on her idol. "Well, let's see if anyone is here." James stepped inside, blinking in the darkness. "I don't think so." Angel said.

"Here's the lights." Raine said flipping a switch on the wall. "Yeah, this place is abandoned." Chloe agreed. "Creepy is what it is." Tommy mumbled, shifting closer to Nikki. DJ noticed his movement and said, "Scared, T?" "NO! Just got a funny feeling about this place. It's creeping me out." Tommy shuddered. "Aw, it's okay T-Bone. I'll protect ya." Nikki wrapped an arm around the drummer. Tommy rolled his eyes, but didn't push Nikki away.

Angel had moved to the desk where there was a phone. She picked it up and held it up to her ear. Only dead air greeted her. "Anything?" Vince asked. "Nope." Angel sighed and replaced it. "Well, what do we do now?" Annette asked. Everyone turned and looked at Mick.

"There's nothing in here that can help us. I already checked." Mick had been looking around, taking in his surroundings while the others goofed off. "Let's go outside." The others murmured their agreement. After all, who would argue with Mick Mars? Once outside, they stood blinking in the sun. "We should go back to the bus." DJ said. "Now who's the scared one?" Tommy teased, smirking at him. "I'm not scared!" DJ said, a little too quickly and a little too loudly. The others smirked at him. He blushed and rolled his eyes, pointedly ignoring it.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Chloe asked, gazing over the compound. "Let's go exploring." Vince suggested. "And why the fuck would we do that?" Angel asked. "'Cause I want too." Vince shot back. "You know the world does not revolve around you, Vince." Nikki rolled his eyes. "Come on. We got nothing better to do." Vince whined. "I think it'll be fun." Raine said, siding with the whiney singer. "See? Raine wants to go too." Vince wrapped an arm around Raine's shoulders. Nikki rolled his eyes and flung his arms in the air, narrowly avoiding hitting Tommy in the face. "Why do I even bother anymore?"

Tommy dodged the flailing limbs and pouted at Nikki. "Sorry, T." Nikki hugged the pouting drummer while Raine and Vince cheered at getting their way. "We should split up while we're at it and look around to see if anything or anyone could help us get out of here." Annette said, twirling a piece of her hair around her finger. "Yeah. There should be two groups." Angel said, looking over the group. "But there's eleven of us. It wouldn't be even." James pointed out. "Close enough. Besides, get any smaller with the groups, and it'll be to hard to find everyone." Angel replied. James nodded, seeing the logic in that explaination.

"Okay, so who goes with who?" Fang asked curiously. Mick answered this one. "Chloe, Fang, Nikki, Tommy, and myself will be one group. The other will be Angel, Annette, Raine, Vince, DJ, and James. That okay?" The group nodded their general agreement and Vince's group headed off after promising to meet back at the office in two hours.

"Well, now where do we go?" Fang asked, watching the others walk away from them. "Umm, this way." Tommy pointed in the opposite direction, sensing Nikki's desire to be far away from Vince. He reached out with his free hand grabbed Nikki's, pulling him along behind him. Nikki chuckled and let himself be dragged away. Fang, Mick, and Chloe exchanged looks and shrugged, following the Terror Twins. "Do you even know where you're going?" Nikki asked after a while of being pulled along behind the drummer. He tugged on his hand, forcing Tommy to stop and turn back to him.

"How would I know where I'm going? I've never been here before." Tommy stated, annoyed that he had been stopped. "Who cares where we're going? As long as we can find our way back to the office in time." Fand said. "True." Nikki shrugged. "Continue on." he said to Tommy. Tommy rolled his eyes at Nikki and continued leading the group around. "So, are we just going to wander around aimlessly or are we going to see if any of the warehouses open?" Chloe asked.

"Let's see if any of them open." Fang said. They headed for the closest one and Nikki reached out to jiggle the knob. The door swung open, revealing the darkness within. The sunlight spilled in, trying to illuminate to the room and failing miserably. Chloe felt along the wall for a light switched and flipped it. Only about half the lights worked, but it was better that nothing.

The room was filled with boxes stacked floor to ceiling, containing who-knows-what. "Well, this is not all that cool." Fang mumbled. "Very anticlimatic." Mick agreed. "What do you think is in them?" Tommy asked Nikki, gestering at the crates. "Who knows?" Nikki shrugged. "After you." Tommy bowed to NIkki. Nikki scowled at him and pulled him upright. "What?" Tommy blinked innocently at him. "Your idea, you're going in first." Nikki shoved him further in the warehouse.

"Scared, Sixxdawg?" Tommy teased. "No, Tommy, I just think you deserve to go first, you know, to get eaten and whatnot." Nikki smirked. Tommy's eyes widened. "Eaten?" He squeaked. "Yes, by the hungry box ghost." Fang said, enjoying the drummer's discontent. "Haha, very funny, you guys. There's no such thing as a box ghost, right Mick?" He turned to the older man. Mick stared at him wordlessly, then rolled his eyes and nodded. Tommy stuck his tongue out at Fang and Nikki who were glaring at Mick for ruining their fun.

Mick turned to Chloe. "You see what I have to deal with?" "Right here with you, man." Chloe patted him on the shoulder sympathically. Mick sighed and turned to watch over Fang, Nikki, and Tommy to make sure they didn't kill themselves. Chloe followed, laughing slightly.

With Vince, Raine, Angel, DJ, James, and Annette

"Well, let's go in here." Vince pointed to a random warehouse. "Why?" Annette asked. "Must you question everything I do and say?" Vince asked. "Why yes I do. Keeps you humble." Annette smiled at him. "Hmmp." Vince pouted and walked towards the warehouse, twisting the knob and finding it open. They walked inside and felt around on the walls to find the light switch. The lights flickered weakly then held.

"Wow, this place is big." Angel murmured. There wasn't much in this one, expect for a few bits of machinary. "Wonder what all that's used for?" James asked, pointing at it. "Nothing. Not anymore." A voice said from behind them. They spun around, gasps of shock and fear coming from them. A tall woman stood in the door way. She looked to be in her early thirties, had dark auburn hair cut short, and hazel eyes. She was wearing a red and black cloak that fell to her ankles. On her feet where black stiletto boots, the heel was at least six inches tall. She had no expression on her face as she continued to gaze at them.

"Who are you?" DJ found his voice. The woman turned her eyes on him and he flinched back. "Anne." Her voice had no emotion in it at all. It was like she could feel nothing. "Why did you come here?" She asked. "Our tour bus broke down and our cell phones can't get a signal, so we thought there might be someone here who can help us." Vince explained. "There's people here, yes, but no one who will help you." She said. "Why won't they help us?" Annette asked angrily. "Because we don't take to kindly to strangers." Anne said.

"If you help us, we'll get out of here faster." Angel said. "I'm afraid that you leaving is out of the question." Anne gave a subtle nod of her head and the group was suddenly surrounded by ten people. Each were dressed exactly like Anne. They all had their hoods pulled up though, so they couldn't see their face. "Take them to the Master. I will find the others." Anne ordered. As soon as she spoke, the others leapt into action. Soon, Vince, Annette, Angel, James, and DJ were all handcuffed and chained together. "What the fuck?! Let us fucking go!" Vince demanded.

"I'm afraid that's out of the question too." Anne turned sharply on her heel and stalked out of the room. The group was jerked foward by their chains and led out of the warehouse. They headed farther back into the compound. Much farther than they had dared to venture. No one said anything, each caught up in their own thoughts of fear and anger.

With Tommy, Nikki, Mick, Chloe, and Fang

"So, since we've established there's nothing in here that is going to be of any use to us, can we go?" Fang asked, tired of walking around in circles. "Sure." Tommy nodded. He was getting bored too. Mick took the lead and they followed him to the door. Mick came to a stop suddenly, almost causing Nikki to run into him. "Why'd you stop?" Nikki asked, irritated. Mick nodded towards the entrance and Nikki looked.

There was a figure blocking the way. "Hello?" Chloe asked. "What are you doing here?" It was a male voice. They couldn't tell much else about the person as they were bathed in shadow. "Our tour bus broke down. We thought there might be someone here to help." Fang explained. "Strangers are not welcome here." The man said, no emotion in his voice at all. "Well, will you help us, so we can leave?" Nikki asked, sounding pissy.

"You're going to come with me. Now." The man's voice held no room for argument. "Why should we?" Tommy asked. The man stepped forward more, so they could see him. He was bald, with pale, washed out looking blue eyes, and a mean smirk on his face. "Because I said so." "Who are you?" Mick asked, speaking up for the first time since the man had started speaking.

"My name is of no importance to you, but if it makes you feel better, call me David." The man said. Chloe eyed him suspiously. He was wearing a black and red cloak that fell to his ankles and on his feet were black combat boots. "Now, let's go." he turned away and began walking as if he knew they would follow. "Do we follow him?" Fang asked, hesitance apparent in her voice. "What choice do we have?" Tommy asked. "Well, we could not follow him. That would be one choice." Chloe said, ever the smartass.

"Let's go. Maybe he can help us." Mick said and the others fell silent. They followed the hulking figure of David farther back into the compound. Much father then they had been. "Where are you taking us?" Nikki asked. "To the Master. We found your friends too." He shot an evil grin over his shoulder. "Oh my God, this was a bad idea." Fang grabbed Chloe's hand, squeezing hard. "It'll be okay, Fang. Don't worry." Chloe shot her a reassuring smile.

A few minutes of walking and they came to another gate. This one had a keypad next to the door and David walked over to it, tapping in the code. The gate swung open silently and he beckoned them inside. They walked in and David took the lead. He led them up to another warehouse, this one much larger than the others. He entered and made them follow.

This warehouse was divided up into sections and in the first section where they were, they saw Vince, Angel, DJ, James, Annette, and Raine. "Oh my God, you're okay." Angel said in relief. They were still chained together. "Why do you have handcuffs on?" Tommy asked Vince. "These psychos put them on us and forced us to come here." Vince spat.

"Silence." A voice said. They turned to look in the doorway to the next section where Anne was standing. "The Master wants to see you now. This way." She swept back in the section and the others followed her. This section was bigger than the other one. At the very back of the room, there were two spotlights attached to the ceiling and trained on a chair mounted to a podium, where a man dressed in all white was seated. "Master. The intruders." Anne bowed to the man. "Very good. Leave us." The man gestured at the door and Anne walked out.

The man snapped his fingers and more lights came on. Brighter lights than the ones in the other warehouses. The group blinked and narrowed their eyes. Once they adjusted, they looked around the room. What they saw shocked and horrified them.

The walls were smeared and drenched in what looked like blood. Bloody handprints lined the walls too. Hanging from the ceiling were chain hooks, the kind you use to hang bits of meat on. Around them, there were carts that had various medical implements and all were sharp and pointy. There whips, chains, swords, riding crops, and knives hung on shelves on the wall.

"What do you think? Like my sanctuary?" The man asked. "What the fuck kind of sick things do you do here?" James demanded, his voice shrill with fear. "Oh, you'll see. Firsthand." The man chuckled unpleasantly. He walked over to them and chained Nikki, Tommy, Mick, Fang, and Chloe to the others. They were paralyzed in shock and horror to fight back.

The man walked all around them, sizing each of them up one by one. He stopped directly in front of Tommy. "You first." He said and unchained him. He grabbed Tommy's wrists in one and and reached behind him to get the pair of handcuffs attached to his belt loop. Tommy gave a jerk of his wrists in an attempt to get free, but the man twisted them painfully and Tommy yelped.

"It'll only be worse if you struggle." The man in white warned. "Let him go, you sick bastard." Nikki suddenly yelled. The man glanced over at him in amusement. "Or what?" Nikki growled in frustration. There wasn't anything he could do to save his friend while he was chained up. The man pulled Tommy over to the nearest hook. He forced Tommy's cuffed hands above his head and laced the chain of the cuff onto the hook. He walked over to a switch on the wall and flipped it. The hook rose slowly in the air until Tommy's feet just barely brushed on the floor.

He flicked the switch back down and walked back to his captive. "Now, what shall I do to you?" he walked to the cart and picked up a scalpel. "Let us go!" Angel shierked. "Silence, or it will be worse for your friend over here." The man hissed. He brought the blade down to the center of Tommy's chest and moved it downward. It was a shallow cut, but blood beaded to the surface and Tommy hissed in pain.

The man leaned foward and licked the cut. Tommy whimpered and tried to twist away, but was cut short by a shooting pain in his arms and shoulders. The man smirked at him. "That's only a little taste of what's going to happen to you all." He cast his eyes over the rest of them, still smirking.
