Alone 2

Chapter 16: Blood

Allyson's P.O.V

Every thing just feels so crazy right now. Rainey is crying wildly, and Aria is just acting like everything is normal, but it's everything but normal. I let out a large sigh, grabbing the attention of Aria who is messing with her knife. She sits down on the couch, next to me, Rainey's head on my shoudler.

Aria looks to me and then to the ground. "We have to leave.." She whispered to me. I had just killed my only love, Cade, but i had to. Everyone may think I'm completely crazy, but I did it for a reason. I knew eactly what he was going to do to us. To me, Aria, Rainey, Firess....

My thoughts trailed off to a halt as Aria began to speak once again. "I am definatly not letting Firess get away again." She let out a large sigh of her own, running her hand down her face and looking to her hands which were resting in her lap. "She's losing it." She said in a whisper, looking to me, her face filled with hurt and hatred. "She's selfish. Only thinking about herself."

By this time, Rainey is looking to her Aria, narrowing her eyes. "It's not her fault!" She yelped to Aria. "She was taken! By someone YOU trusted! Who you should've never ever trusted, who could've killed us all!" Aria tilted her head at Rainey, a bit surprised by her yelling.

"She has left us alone multiple times." Aria said quietly, not taking her eyes off Rainey, her hands becoming fists in her lap.

"She was losing it! If my boyfriend would've just died, I would too! Austin was bit and we had to leave him! There was no saing him, no way! Now she's gone, Wagner's gone! And we're pretty much GONE!" Rainey was panting now, on her feet, staring at Aria. I just sat there quietly, unable to speak to either of them, for I was afriad I might get punched. Aria stood to her feet. I gulped, leaning into the couch and watching her carefully.

"You don't know anything about her. NOTHING!" She yelled, swinging her hand, a noise of skin hitting skin. I didn't notice at first, but my eyes were closed. My faces stinging. Aria had hit me. "SAY SOMETHING ALLYSON!" She yelled at me loudly, Rainey's red and blood shot eyes wide, staring down at me.

My mouth open, my breaths coming is slow. The air silent other than Aria's heavy breaths. Aria shook her head, grabbing her knife and gun off the table and stomping to the door, the sun just starting to rise. I was unable to yell to her, my skin burning. My hand reached up to my face, and I felt it. The blood. I brought my hand coming into my vision slowly. Rainey sat down quietly, biting her lip as she did, her eblows resting on her thighs. I winced, hearing the door slam and then silence once more.

I finally cracked, a small sob cutting through the silence of the large room, and echoing throughout the house. I felt Rainey's arm around me, pulling me to her, I leaned my head on her own shoulder, her chin resting on my head.

"Shhh, you're gonna attract stalkers." She said quietly to me, her voice ringing in my ears. I stopped crying immediently. I pushed her off me, grabbing the knife still stained in Cade's blood, and a kitchen knife for backup, Firess wouldn't let me have a gun. She was smart, and she would do exactly what I'm about to do. "Allyson, what are you doing?" Rainey said in a loud whisper. I could feel her eyes watching me as I rushed from one side of the room to the other.

I only shook my head at her words. "What on earth does it look like?" I asked her, grabbing everything I could. "I'm doing what Aria said." I looked to her, throwing her a gun that was lying on the table. She caught it swiftly, tilting her head slightly. "Get up, we're leaving."

•••

I take a breath, pushing open the door to the house, and watching a white cloud of air vapor exit my mouth. I guess I never noticed bow cold it was. I'm finally starting to realize a few things, how heavy this bag is. How hard it is to pierce a stalker's skull with a knife. How hard it is to live out here in this living hell we call home.

I turn around, seeing Rainey's arms wrapping around herself to try and sheild her from the harsh winds of fall. At least that's what I can tell from the leaves that are falling slowly off the trees every time a small wind blows through.

I close my eyes, just starting to walk away from the house. I stop in my tracks, hearing my name being called from probably miles away, the world is so quiet now, I can hear a lot more than I could before, no traffic, or animals. Or insects. People.

I turn my head, and Rainey does too. I can't quite make the words out. I perk up a bit, knowing that Aria didn't run that far away. I hear Rainey's name too. I squint, trying to see if there's any movement. I can't see anything at all. I hear Aria's name, so if can't be Aria. It sounds like a voice from a man.

Rainey starts running towards the sounds coming the plains far far away. She's screaming and crying and smiling all at once.

"WAGNER! WAGNER! WAGNER I'M HERE!" I smiled, following behind her, breathing through my mouth to get as much air as I can. I hear my name being called again, another male voice, a very familiar voice. I stop running, my eyes looking to the ground, my breaths becoming short, but still panting, almost hyperventilating. I look behind me at the house, at the source of Cade's voice ringing in my head.

My smile fades quickly at his words. 'You Leave Aria, You Leave Me.' My knees are slowly and steadily becoming weak. My vision becoming blurry. My knees soon hit the ground, as well as my body soon after.

You did this. You fix it.

I know I did, but I can't. I don't know how to fix this.

Figure it out.

I can't! You're dead Cade!

That's what the dead want you to think.
