dirty Dogs bark at bright stones, part II.

Petter red is sucking an orange flavor lollipop. the bank robbers are sitting on the ground talking about their little adventures. they are eating snacks and soda. 

Ashley Purple stands next to Petter. she is trying to understand the man they took hostage. she holds his hand tightly. he looks back nervously. he stares at her. he is unsure if he should be doing this or trying to escape. there is so much guilt on his heart. he feels undeserving of being loved or accepted by others.

"We are all cruel by nature." said Petter almost whispering.

"Why are you so sure? you seem to be a weak man." said Ashley questioning the dilemma behind such words that seem to be unimportant.

"We all do evil. some don't know they do evil. and others do evil well aware of what they are doing. and here I am questioning if I am evil or if evil are my actions."

"For a man, you are too weak." said Ashley smirking.

what Petter refuses to bring out, is his past. he used to be a problematic kid. he was a dangerous youth that dragged others to hell and back. he used to sell poison in the shape of candy, poison that caused the early departure of the youth. 

"I am guilty." whispers Petter with teary eyes.

his troublesome youth didn't stop there. he was a bad influence on others. his entire existence has been poisoned to others. he is a source of evil.

but Petter isn't the only one. Ashley feels the same way. she was the child of a troublesome marriage that kept her in the shadows. eventually as a protest, she joined the wrong kind of friend group. she became addicted to violence and war.

for some strange reason the two of them are developing feelings for one another. they can't keep denying what is becoming obvious. even the foolish John is noticing things. their eyes meet with seduction and desire. 

on the distance Nancy is holding a cigarette between her fingers. she plays with it. John is trying to hit on her as she ignores him. Jack laughs at him. Joahn is eating some salmon with eggs, and an apple juice in silence. ignoring her dumb friends.

John steps away from his friends for a second. he goes to the bathroom. he touches his pants ready to pull them down. he hears a sound. he turns around nervously. on the bathroom mirror there are disturbing figures pushing the mirror. John runs away screaming. he falls on the ground and comes to the realization that he just wet his pants.

"Johnny Yellow, for sure." said Jack mocking his friend.

"Shut the hell up. you won't be White for long." screams John furiously.

Nancy tells John to take a shower. he follows instructions without talking back. Nancy gives a broom and cleaning products to Jack. she orders him to start cleaning. Joahn leaves to explore around the immense bank. there is much to explore. Nancy feels exhausted after dealing with a circus of clowns. she regrets her life choices.

Nancy washes her face. there is a ghostly figure whispering on her ears. she blinks and her vision goes pitch black. she wakes up around the showers. she is on her underwear. there is blood on her hands and face. John is on the ground unconscious. Nancy comes to the realization that she just hurt the man she loves. she washes her hands and face. 

John wakes up. he is confused. Nancy uses the correct excuse to justify her reason to be there, and she explains why he was unconscious. she helps him to stand up. there is a ghostly figure standing in a corner. it is stuck to the wall. it wails as it calls her name.

Nancy tries to ignore the ghostly figure. she helps John out of there. John can hear another ghostly entity whispering on his ear. John can hear so clearly those words, "kill them. kill them all." John trembles in horror afraid of losing his mind.

Jack is in the distance dancing and singing. he comes running to them. he hugs them. Jack takes a chocolate out of his pockets. he eats in front of them with a smile. there are blood fingerprints all over the walls and ceiling. the blood is fresh. there is something wrong with the bank. Jack seems to be the only one who doesn't care.

Nancy comes forth. she tells them about an area they found to rest. for a bank there are many parts of the interior that feel out of place. things that aren't supposed to exist inside a bank and it feels so out of place.

following a corridor beyond a sign that reads, "Employees Only." there is a huge cafeteria. there are all kinds of meals already prepare. Petter and Ashley are already sitting together. they are sharing a flan and drinking cocoa with marshmallows. Petter's cocoa has coffee beans that add a slightly bitter flavor. 

Nancy is down to eat some vanilla cake. Joahn doesn't care about anything. she already ate enough with everyone else hours ago. Joahn finds the absurdity of the situation dumb. Jack and John are getting the liquor. it all feels fine and peaceful.

there are ghostly entities coming out of the floor. you can see their skeleton like figures. they all are dragging chains attached to their wrist. the robbers seem to acknowledge the presence of the ghostly entities at first. then, they ignore them. the ghostly entities surround them. the only person who is conscious about them is Petter.

"I am afraid this may be our final night." said Petter fearing for the worse. and even so, at the same time he feels ready to face his own demons and ghost.

"Why do you say something so sinister?" asks Ashley.

"You will find out soon enough." said Petter ready to accept his fate.

a tear of blood falls from Jack's eyes. Jack is confused. he looks around trying to understand the unstoppable tears. he then smiles showing pain on his eyes. 

Petter stands up nervously. he turns around slowly. he runs towards the front door. sadly, for him the door is gone. there is only a red door painted on the wall. it seems that they are locked in there with those sinister entities. Petter falls on his knees sweating. he wants to believe that even if things get worse, there has to be a way out. 

"Is this how we kick the bucket?" asks Ashley as she hugs him from behind.

"No, it won't be as peaceful. our end will be one of nightmares." said Petter trembling.

there are strange noises as the bank changes shape. the corridors get longer. there are more floors and some rooms changed or are gone completely. the ghostly entities are now standing in almost every room. even in the bathroom.

it is just a question of time before madness takes control of their minds & will. the question is no longer if it happens, but when it happens.

One Hour Later,

one ghostly entity wearing a dress. with a crown of thorns carved around her eyes. her hands are bond to a red ribbon. half of her face is like a skeleton. the other half seems mummified. she has long silver hair. she walks behind Jack. her whispers sound like screams.

Jack starts to bleed from the nose, mouth, ears, and eyes. his eyes are bloodshot. Jack becomes intensely more paranoid. he grabs a riffle and insists on sleeping holding the riffle. he looks around feeling persecuted by others. he hears voices laughing at him. he can see the eyes of others judging him. he is losing his mind.

Joahn is walking on the corridor. in a blink the corridor becomes longer. she starts to walk faster as she tries to escape. then out of desperation she starts to run. she allows fear to take control of her as the corridor becomes endless. there is the sound of footsteps behind her sounding closer and more intense. she is scared. she is losing her mind.

there is a ghostly entity around 6'11 height. he seems to be jacked. he has chains attached to his muscular arms. attached to the other end of the chains a cannonball. its face the thing of nightmares as its distorted. the nose seems to be gone. one of the eyes is on top of a cheek. the lips are curved on the left side of the face. it begins bellow the ear and ends where the eyebrows are supposed to be.

Joahn tries to run. the Jacked ghostly entity runs faster. he grabs her from the neck. he whispers on her ears with a melancholic sound that sounds like the waves of the sea. then Joahn loses the light on her eyes. she starts to feel more depressed. the Jacked ghostly entity is holding a razor that he leaves on Joahn's hands.

John is trying to sleep on a warm bed. the lights are off. then another ghostly entity introduces itself on the shape of a being with three heads. one of the heads is in flames. it's a malicious looking face with horns and it appears to be screaming. the second head is calmly crying and begging for mercy and forgiveness with a calm blue face. the third face has a black veil covering its face and, in the front, instead of a face. it has a mirror. the ghostly entity is wearing a straitjacket.

"BURN. RAGE. BURN. LET THE RAGE ON YOU BURN." screams the entity.

John wakes up feeling rage. he feels the need to make the world burn. he is sweating no stop as he gets us. his body shakes abruptly. the temperature of his body reaches inhuman levels. he whispers to himself full of rage, "let the WICKED crumble."

John walks towards the door. every step he takes leaves footprints burned to the ground. there is even smoke coming out his feet and hands. the moment he touches the door it catches fire and burns to ashes instantly. he walks with a riffle on hand.

"LEAD THE LITTLE PIGGY TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE." John screams in horror.

at this point Nancy was on the office. a thin ghostly entity with a large torso that bends on the wrong way making it look like a centipede. it has long hair. it comes closer to Nancy. it whispers on her ears as she looks pale. then it leaves.

Nancy stands up feeling lost. she is mentally not there. her mind is reliving her worse memories and replaying them again, and again. she screams feeling inhuman horror. then she walks out of the office holding a shotgun. "Total Retribution." are the words she whispers.

on the other hand, Petter and Ashley are still inside the cafeteria. they seem to be acting like normal humans. the ghostly entities try to get closer. but for some reason they get frightened and leave crying like dying animals. Petter is sweating bullets.

"Speak up Red. if you're to be my man. you're to man up." said Ashley loudly.

"We are done. feel it. they are coming. run, run. RUN." said Petter in hysteria. 

from the south-west exit, a broken Jack gets inside the cafeteria. from the north-east exit, a crying Joahn gets inside. from the kitchen, a mad John gets inside. a window breaks allowing a volatile Nancy to get inside. all six of them in a single location. but four of them had gone mad.

"What is happening to them. they don't seem like themselves." 

"Your friends are gone. they were taken over by the grudge of the ghost. don't let yourself be influenced by the ghost. and stay away from your friends, they are no longer them."

"How can we save them? those are my friends. my family."

"I don't think we can save them. the mind is gone, corrupted by evil."

then the lights go off.
