Hope Defeated [Editing]

Broken - Day 10

It's so dark, where is my light. Is this the end?

Jackie's POV

I reached a mansion, as the only two people who joined me aided me in walking.

Those bastards kicked me out.

I scoffed as we knocked on the door, hopefully no one was home. The door opened slowly revealing a short girl, maybe seven or eight.

"Hi there." The girl aproached me and pulled out a butchers knife.

"Wait I'm just here to ask for assistance." I say putting my hands in front of me. The girl nods motioning us to come in. The whole place full of people laughing or fighting.

A girl maybe a foot shorter than me comes up to me. Of course I'm used to people being shorter than me, I am 5"8'. The girl shakes my hand and confuses me more.

"Hello, I'm Mae. You are?"

"Jackie." I cough, as she leads me upstairs to a infirmary like place. A girl in a white robe comes up to me leading me to a bed and aiding my injures.

I sigh in relief as she takes some of the pain off of my many stab wounds. Soon Mae comes in and sits on the bed next to me, looking away.

"So, you must have a sting will to live. Those injuries are bad."

"Heh. Yea I will slaughter them all." She turns smiling and holds out her hand.

"Will you join me then?" I smirk as I grab her hand shaking it. She smiles almost evily, she was quite pretty.

Justin's POV

"Sire, the Hunters failed." I grab the knife off my desk flinging it at the small boy, he was only eight. The knife hits him in the neck, and he drops.

I sigh as I will need another assistant. I get up, and think about Abby. I cry silently, I really miss her, she was my longest assistant and she was so amazing. She played the violin for me once, saying she wasn't that good, but she was amazing.

I slammed my hand on the desk, that kid had slaughtered her. His name, what was it. Oh yes my most hated name, after Miranda of course.

Henry.

I will kill them first then eat them, Miranda she left me. She had spent Valentine's Day with that guy called Griffin, I will kill him too.

She would either come back to me, or die. I will allow her the pleasure of killing then eating 'Griffin' he won't have her for long. I grin evily as a small girl knocks on my door, my new assistant I suppose.

Ryder's POV

"Hey Miranda!" She turned to me, then she grimaced.

"What's wrong?" She shook her head as she held her side. I ran to her as I pressed my hand to her side she yelped and covered her side.

"Do you remember how you got that?"

"No, but I had it after I went into a coma."

"Remember." She looks at me as I step over her now a few inches away. She stares into my eyes as I stare into her green eyes.

Why can't you remember?

"I don't know what you mean." I put my hand on her head and she cocks her head sidways. Suddenly she jerks up and runs down the hall.

Please come back, Miranda.

Miranda's POV

I ran as I saw Griffin go by, I needed to clear my head. I heard him yell after me but I kept going until I got to a roof, no clue how I had gotten up. I sat back on my hands and cleared my thoughts.

"Miranda?" I turn to the voice and see Griffin standing there holding something behind him. He sits next to me and puts a Pepsi in my lap.

"I know you and Jack drank these once. So thought it night cheer you up. Have you heard, Henry hasn't come out of his room." I tilt my head as I drink some of the Pepsi. I lean onto Griffin which suprised him.

He pats my head unsure of what to do, making me laugh. I throw the can off the roof and look up at Griffin.

"I wonder how many people out there are still alive." He nods and look off.

"Well this makes the apocalypse slightly better." I  grins, because he thought I couldn't hear him.

"Yea I guess so." He smiles and hugs me.

Henry's POV

I stare at Matt smiling face, that was so long ago he was even alive. I pick up the glasses looking at the broken lenses.

"Hey Matt, I'm still alive I guess." I look below at the few people talking or fighting.

Matt, are we all dead?

Griffin's POV

Eventually Miranda fell asleep yet again. I brought her off the roof and into her room. I closed the door, tommorrow we were expanding to the full neighborhood and clearing out things.

Then I went to Henry's room, it was locked. I knocked and I heard shuffling inside. He opened the door and he looked even paler than usual.

"Griffin?" I smiled and brought him into his room.

"Henry you are going to listen." He got suprised by my tone.

"You are getting out of this damn room, Miranda and Jordan are worried about you." He started to shake his head as I smacked him. He opened his eyes in shock.

"What?"

"Get. Out. Of. Your. Room." He nodded quickly running out of his room. I smiled to myself, maybe he would be better off with other people.

Jordan's POV

I still can't believe Jack is dead, then someone tried killing Miranda. I guess human suffering is only good when it's not my own.

"Hey Jordan!" I looked to see Harper, one of the new people who came with Alex. I waved to her and she stood next to me.

"Did you hear we're getting new housing!" I nodded as I sigh walking off, she followed me continuously talking to me.

Ryder's POV

"Lucy?"

"Yes?"

"If Miranda doesn't remember then what will happen?"

"She will. Stop worrying."

"I guess I should be more worried about one of them going crazy."

"Yes, if they did go crazy they should be showing signs such as seclusion,  insomnia, paranoia, etc."

"Has anyone?"

"Three people, some might just be scared or depressed."

"Who?"

"Henry, Alex, and Harper."

"Kill them?"

"No, two of them are normal but we need to find which was insane."

"Well the insane one aided Jackie correct?"

"Yes, that means any of them could but Alex is unlikely."

"So we just wait?"

"Yes, try to get Miranda help in the mean time I'll warn Adalie, after all we don't know how far Mae was able to cut her side."

"Remember Adalie has a soft spot for Mae, don't mention her."

"I didn't plan to."

"Lucy where are the twins?"

"Probably off killing something, or torturing it."

"Damn."
