Haven't seen one of these in a long time, have you? Well, I felt that I needed to write something else, but I didn't feel like continuing a story. I just wanted to write a quick something. So here it is. I went back to the somewhat different style of writing without any mention of "he said, she said, it said" or movements or anything. You'll just have to use your imaginations. Now, I originally had a completely different idea about where this was going to go and who was going to be involved... but, well, the story took over. Nothing I could do, really. Oh well. Please read and enjoy!

11. Hatchet
"All right, you guys. I think we should split up."
"No! Don't split up!"
"That's a good idea, Bethie. We can cover more ground that way."
"Bad idea! Bad idea! Please don't split up!"
"Come on, Daryl. We'll check this side room. Jess, you take Alex and go that way. Kristin, you and Rex can look in the basement."
"The basement? Why would you go in the creepy old basement of a creepy old house?"
"Rex? It's really dark down there."
"Don't worry. Just hold my hand Kristin. I'll keep you safe."
"Thanks, Rex. You're the best."
"Don't kiss him on the cheek! He won't keep you safe just by holding your hand! What could he possibly do?"
"Watch your step here. It's very dangerous."
"Oh, shut up, Rex! Just because you want to get in her pants doesn't mean you have to act like you're the world's most perfect gentlemen!"
"Rex? What happened to the lights?"
"Don't worry. I just want to make it more romantic."
"Ugh. That's awful. 'I want to make it more romantic.' No, he doesn't. It's just going to make it easier from him to seduce her."
"Rex. It's really dark. Could you please turn the lights on?"
"No, Kristin. I don't think so."
"Why not?"
"Because it's so much better in the dark."
"No, please, Rex. Let's turn the light on."
"OH MY GOD! REX IS THE KILLER! KRISTIN, GET OUT OF THERE!"
"Rex? Where did you go? Rex?"
"Don't worry, Kristin. I'm right here."
"RUN, KRISTIN!"
"Now just hold still for a second, Kristin. If you move around, I won't be able to find you."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I just don't want to lose you too soon."
"Do you mean that you're going to lose me?"
"Well, you never know what's going to happen."
"YES, HE IS GOING TO LOSE YOU! HE'S GOING TO LOSE YOU BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"But what is that supposed to mean? Do you think that something is going to happen to me?"
"Oh, most definitely. Now, hold still."
"What? Why?"
"LOOK OUT, KRISTIN! DUCK! HE'S GOT A—"
"AHHHHHHH!"
"Oh—he—ew—he's… He just sliced open her neck and now he's… is he drinking her blood? He is! Oh, that's awful. I don't know how much more of this I can watch…"
"Stop struggling, Kristin. It will all be over soon."
"Rex… I don't… understand."
"Of course you don't. But no one does. You were the closest person of anyone to me. I didn't want to miss you, but I need you more than I could handle."
"But…mmph…mm…"
"How can he make out with her while she's dying? He's going to smother her!"
"Rex…"
"Don't talk, Kristin. It's time for you to go. But you'll always be with me. That's why I need your blood. To remember you."
"I—"
"Is she dead?"
"Thank you, Kristin. I loved you."
"Where will Rex go next? Are the others safe in the house while searching for their 'prize'? Is the prize just a clever ruse to get them there? Is Kristin really dead? And is Rex more than just a killer? Could he be a vampire? Tune in next time to find out!"
"Wow… that was an intense episode. Did you expect him to start drinking her blood like that?"
"The show is called Vampiric Serial Killers. It's not too surprising, Shiroyan.
"You're all talk, Ikkun. Like you weren't freaking out when you saw her bleeding. What do you think, Kurotatsu?"
"That was… amazing. I was surprised that he didn't go further. She was still alive. He didn't have to completely smother her. At least, not right away."
"Oh, gross!"
"You're such a pervert!"
"Shut up. You guys loved it too! Especially since Kristin used to be a maid."
"Yeah…"
"I guess…"
"Let's watch the death scene again. Maybe we can figure out what he hit her with!"
…
"—gling, Kristin. It will all be over soon."
"Not yet."
…
"—make it more romantic."
"Too far."
…
"There! Stop!"
"—pen to me?"
"Oh, most definitely. Now, hold still."
"What?Wh—"
"PAUSE!"
"What's he holding?"
"An ax of some kind I think."
"It's a hatchet."
"What did you say, Ikkun?"
"It's a hatchet. One of the best weapons for killers."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I just mean that that's what they use. Like how you guys used bats and things when you were delinquents. Well, killers use knives and saws and hatchets."
"Oh…"
"That's…"
"Yeah…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Do you think Maid Latte is open yet?"
"Is it ten o'clock?"
"It's fifteen past! Let's go!"
Well? Were you surprised at who it was? I was too. I think I wanted it to be Sakura, Shizuko, and Misaki watching a horror movie and then Usui coming in with a hatchet, but I honestly don't think that would ever happen. Then I thought I could make it the maids at Maid Latte and then Satsuki gets the idea to have a serial killer theme, but that's a little bizarre. Even for Satsuki. So now we have this one with the Idiot Trio. Did you like it?
