10 Maurice turned and bolted out of the basement and to the front doorlocked! "Blast!" he muttered angrily under his breath as he slowly turned back around and look about the room for another way out. The man in black reappeared in front of Maurice again in the dining hall. Maurice frowned at him, gritting his teeth as he picked up a cane beside the door and slowly started for the man. "Maurice...." Annabel whispered. He ignored her. "Stop now while you still have a chance." she said. He kept walking. When he was standing in the entrance and noticed the man hadn't disappeared this time, a smile slowly found its way onto Maurice's face. He gripped the cane with both hands and crouched down, ready to pounce and beat the man. He saw a flash of sparkling white teeth and the man was smiling at him. "Maurice, please...." Annabel pleaded. Maurice let out an angry, desperate, cry and leaped across the table at the man, throwing him through the window and shattering it, they both rolled out into the dark and stormy night. Maurice lifted the cane above his head as he was now sitting on top of the man and had him pinned down on the ground. He swung the cane as fast and as hard as he could to the left and right across the man's face until he went limp.
