A Living Armour Owns A Tavern - Chapter 54 Fright Night 2

Unfortunately for our survivors, the doors have all been duly locked by Ms. Sarah since they were planning to head over to Gus’ tavern for a sleep-over. This situation has made things much worse for them. Ben Durnham has wandered in the Chapel’s Living room. The Darkness of the night has made the situation more nerve-wracking. It’s as if something might jump out of the shadows in the dark corners of the room. Old books have filled the shelves of the living room. There were also a few old paintings of sceneries and landscapes that hung on the wall. Judging by the frame’s condition, the paintings must have been around for around 30 or 40 years. As he looked around, a glimmer of hope has filled his body seeing the windows as a means to escape this horrific evening. He carefully climbed the bookshelf to reach the window sill.

“Thud!”

A book dropped from one of the shelves which gave Ben a sudden heart attack. As he looked down, his footing, He saw a rat scurry across the shelves. He heaved a sigh of relief and continued to climb out of the Living room’s Window sill.

“Found you!”—

He heard a bone-chilling voice. The hair on his arms stood up on its end as if the horrific figure is just an arm’s length away from him. He froze in fear and would not dare look behind him while sweat rolled down his temple. Suddenly, Ben’s eyes opened wide as he was shocked to see that he was no longer holding on to the shelf, and instead, a gauntlet was holding on to his arm instead.

“AAGGGHHHHHHHH!!!”

A scream resonated throughout the Chapel halls as Fuzz E. Bear Gus has claimed its first victim.

———

“No… Father!”—

Falkes grit his teeth, as he heard the scream of his father. He slammed his fist against the wall and continued to walk down the chapel halls, looking for an exit.

———

Victor found himself lost and wandered inside the Chapel’s Kitchen area. He tried climbing out the kitchen window, but unfortunately, he is simply too fat. There is a door going outside towards the dirty kitchen area, so he tried going out that way. As he approached the door, he noticed that a flimsy lock is attached to the door that leads outside. Maybe he can find something in the kitchen that can easily break the lock. he frantically searched the drawers only to find spoons, forks and blunt dinner knives.

“CLOP! CLOP! CRASH!”
for visiting.

Suddenly, He heard footsteps that do not belong to a human being. In a panic, he closed every drawer he opened, grabbed the nearby table cloth to wrap himself, and quickly hid under the kitchen table.

“BAM!”

The kitchen doors have flung open. Victor can clearly see the animatronic bear’s feet that stood at the kitchen entrance. Victor’s Heartbeat was so intense, it made him close his eyes and pray he won’t get spotted by the nightmare which haunts them. As the bear started walking around, an eery music box melody can be heard. It’s as if it was baiting human children to come out and play with Fuzz E. Bear’s games.

“KLANG!”

A saucepan fell on the floor, near the table where Victor was hiding. Victor quickly covered his mouth with his hands, his heartbeat shoots up even higher as he noticed the animatronic bear walked closer to where the saucepot fell. The animatronic kneeled on the floor and grabbed the saucepot. But suddenly, he noticed that the bear’s hands were on the floor as well. Victor was well aware of the bear’s intention to peek under the table.

“Scurry!” “Squeak!”

A rat has suddenly run out of the table. Realizing that it was only a rat, the Bear stood up and started walking back to the kitchen door. Victor managed to calm down a little knowing that the Bear has walked away.

“Hehehehe… Found you!”—

Victor’s heart stopped as he heard these words. The Table grew iron bars turning it into a cage. Victor was trapped lying underneath.

“NO… Let me go…. Nooooooo, NNOOOOOO!!!!”

Another scream has resounded throughout the Chapel halls, as Fuzz E. Bear Gus has claimed its second victim. Hearing the second scream, Daniel knew he was running out of time. He felt sorry for his friend Victor, but his sacrifice would also be for naught if he fails to leave the chapel grounds. He tried to look for an exit above ground. He made his way to the upper floors trying to look for a window or a way to the top of the roof.

“Click”

Fortunately, Daniel managed to open a window that leads to the chapel roof outside. As he walked out on the roof, a cold breeze of fresh air has brushed against his face. It was comforting to see the moon once again. But unfortunately, if he doesn’t find a way to get down without hurting himself, he is still trapped in the chapel with that metallic nightmare that roamed the building. A moment later, he saw a group of armed men walking cautiously just outside the chapel.

“Since they didn’t look like they were doing a usual patrol, these men must have been the ones who fled earlier and have finally come back with reinforcements,” thought Daniel.

If he could get their attention somehow, they might help him and his friends escape this place. Daniel wanted to scream at the patrolling guards, but doing so will attract the Creature to himself. If he is not confident that he could get away from the nightmare from the roof of the chapel, then it is not wise to risk doing it at all. He needs to think fast as his window of opportunity is starting to close. If these men walk far enough, then he could say goodbye to the opportunity of escaping this place. Daniel rushed back inside to find something he can use. But unfortunately, the deranged bear was already lurking about the upper floors. Daniel can remain outside as he waits for the bear to go away.

Meanwhile, Falkes tried an unthinkable idea that none would have ever thought about. He went back to the Main Hall of the Chapel where the bear has entered. He thought that the creature would be busy roaming around the different parts of the chapel looking for its prey, so he tried to undo the lock the creature has made. Unfortunately, the door has been sealed shut by the deranged bear. As he was about to give up on the sealed door, Falkes noticed that there is a part of the door where it’s rotten. If he used a nearby chapel pew as a makeshift-battering ram, then he should be able to break the rotten part of the door. Falkes began to put his plan into action immediately.

“BAM! BAM! CRASH!”

The Deranged bear took notice of the noise and quickly ran away from the upper floors to stop his prey from leaving. Daniel took this opportunity to continue his search, for something that might get the patrol’s attention. Even though the deranged bear is strong, the sheer number of reinforcements might just be enough to subdue this monster.

Meanwhile, Falkes successfully broke through the door. Since he thought he made enough noise to count as a signal, all he needed to do is to leave straight away and warn the Orphanage’s residents from the dangerous being. As he crawled through the hole, he saw the backs of the town’s reinforcement which is going towards the dungeon’s location.

“Hel…”

As Falkes was about to scream for help, he was dragged from the hole, going back towards the chapel. The Bear has claimed its third victim leaving Daniel all alone in the chapel of horror.
