Truth or dare (UNEDITED)

Chapter 30

Several days had gone by and not even as much as a cough from Chase though he was alive. Day and night, Charlotte sobbed, prayed and hoped for him to wake soon. Every morning, she'd clean his body with a wet rag also cleaning the fresh blood that oozed out of his wounds.

The day after the incident, she and her only friend left decided to bury Rufus in the backyard. They digger relentlessly making sure the hole was not too small for him.

Pausing for a moment, Charlotte looked back at their moments together. A certain memory covered every other.......

"oh my goodness! Are you okay babe" Charlotte asked moving closer to him.

"I'm fine cupcake" he replied chuckling

"That was so reckless of me, I almost killed you!"

"But I'm alive aren't I?"

She frowned folding her arms across her chest "that's not the point, do you know how terrible I'd feel if the one I loved died by my own hands".

He smiled wrapping his arms around her waist from behind "well I'd feel pretty happy"

"what?"

"yeah!, if I'm not opportuned to grow old and die laying next to you then at least let me die by your hands. It would make me the happiest ghost ever cause I got to die in the hands of the one I love"  he said placing a soft kiss on her neck.

"Aww babe!, don't be so ridiculous" she replied covering her flushed red cheeks with her hands.

"That's to let you know how much I love you"

She smiled and turned around placing a soft kiss on his lips and he kissed her back.

............she fell to the ground sobbing loudly, the shovel falling into the hole they had dug "I killed him" she cried.

Crouching down beside her, Lottie pulled her into a tight embrace "it's not your fault, you had no other choice".

After a few minutes, she wiped her tears and together they threw his body into the hole, as they covered his body with sand, Charlotte tried her best to hold back her tears. Wiping off the streak that escaped her eyes, her dirty hands drew a map of dirt across her face but it didn't seem to bother her at the moment.

After showering, they settled in the living room thinking of what to do next "days has gone by and not even a truth or a dare" Lottie said

"he's messing with us, getting us to kill ourselves, THIS MUST BE REALLY FUN FOR YOU!!! " Charlotte yelled out. She continued "he's here, I can feel his presence. He's watching us"

"What are we going to do?" Lottie said in a cowering tone.

"I don't know why he's doing this, he made us play and we played but now he's tired of playing the game. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US NOW!!!"

"He's not going to answer your questions Charlotte, you're wasting your breath" Lottie muttered.

"I know but Esmay can"

"How do we find her?, and even if we do, what are the odds that she'd give us the answers we need?" Lottie explained hugging a faded green throw pillow to her chest.

Sinking into the leathered armchair close to the furnace, taking a big sigh after being dumbfounded by Lottie's words. Charlotte closed her eyes shut, thinking of the next step to take but also feeling exhausted from everything that had happened.

Creeks from the stairs made her open her eyes "Chase!!" Lottie screamed running to him and Charlotte followed. "Ah!" He said soflty trying to withstand the pain their tight embrace caused him.
