"Anyway, um what about you and your siblings?" Ziggy cleared her throat. "Well me and Will clash the most, he's alright though. Nick's a little weird sometimes but he's nice. Me and Cole are the closest, I mean we're twins after all." I smiled. "Who's older?" Ziggy questioned. "Me, well that's what I was told. He's really tall and looks older though." I shrugged. Ziggy laughed slightly. "Um what question are we on?" I asked her after a few seconds of silence. "I think that was the eighth." Ziggy answered. I nodded and looked out the window. It was getting darker and darker.

I stood up and looked around. I had told Cole I'd never leave his side and I here I was playing 21 questions with Ziggy. I should get to him now. "Right maybe one last question, we need to get a start on colour wars." I turned to Ziggy. "Alright, would you ever...kiss the weird girl from Shadyside?" Ziggy asked me, standing in front of me and holding onto my hand. I felt blush quickly spread across my face. I gave a small nod, the redhead had made me completely speechless. Ziggy leaned forward, connecting our lips softly.

One of her hands came to a rest on my cheek, the other still holding firmly to my hand. I used my free hand to gently grab Ziggy's waist. A loud scream disrupted what we were doing. Me and Ziggy shared a horrified look before running out the door. We ran to the direction of the scream, knowing we were in the right place when we saw a large group of people.

Me and Ziggy pushed through the crowd, trying to see what was going on. My heart dropped as I made my way to the front and into view of what had happened. It felt as though it had been ripped out my chest and smashed against the floor. I didn't even feel the tears that had already begun falling down my face. Cole lay on the floor completely still. There were two large gouges in his face, almost making his features indistinguishable.

"Cole?" I sobbed, falling to my knees beside him. Blood had already begun to pool around his head, I felt the warm liquid splash against my knees and seep into my shirt as I leant down and held Cole to my chest. I was sobbing violently, gasping for air in between tears. I didn't even hear the people being rushed to safety behind me. Or when Nick ran over, eyes wide in fear as he saw me on the floor with Cole.

He shook my shoulder lightly. I didn't get up or even look at him. "Chloe come on, we need to get to the mess hall!" Nick stressed. He reached down to try and move my grip from Cole's dead body. "Cole please! Wake up! Please!" I begged. I knew it was no use. He was gone and there was nothing I could do about it. Nick grabbed me and pulled me up. "LET ME GO!" I screamed at him.

"Chloe the killer might still be out here! We need to get to the mess hall!" Nick started half running and half dragging me to safety. I ran with him on shaky legs, my sons getting less extreme. People, still screaming and shaking, entered the mess hall with us. Counsellors started doing head counts and talking to people to see if there was still anyone out there.

As we walked in, Ziggy pulled me into a tight hug. I cried into her shoulder. She took my hands in hers a squeezed them. Hers were still shaking slightly and I could feel her heartbeat. "It's going to be okay, your fine." Ziggy whispered. "But- but Cole." I whimpered.
"There's nothing we can do now, whoever did that to him is out there and I won't let you bump into them." Ziggy held me as close
to her as she could.

The lights had gone off, making people start to panic and run around wildly. "Everyone calm down!" A counsellor screamed. "That's 30 missing atleast!" I heard someone say. "Where's Cindy, Kurt, Jone?" I looked over at Ziggy, her face had fallen. She searched the mess hall as the lights came on, her sister wasn't there. "Fuck- I have to go looking for her." Ziggy started walking towards the door. I caught her hand and pulled her towards me.

"What happened to staying here and staying safe?" I questioned. "My sister is out there!" Ziggy exclaimed. "Cindy's smart alright, she'll be fine, and I'm sure she's with Tommy right now. He's a strong guy he won't let her get hurt." I spoke quietly. "Chloe, please, just let me go look for her." Ziggy tried to get past me. "I just saw my brother's dead body, I'm not gonna let you go and see the same happen to you." I said seriously, trying to push away tears.

"Gary! Let's go look for people!" I heard Nick call. "Let me go with you!" Ziggy spoke up. "Ziggy no, stay here, look after Chloe." Nick said the last part slightly quieter but I still heard it. "My sister's out there! Nick let me past it I swear-" "ZIGGY! Just, stay here. Please!" Nick raised his voice, making the hall go silent. "I'll find your sister, we'll find everyone else, just stay here." Nick turned to Kurt and gave him a nod.

"Hey! Everybody! Stay here! Okay?" Gary yelled as he left the hall with Nick, flashlight in hand. I was about to start reassuring Ziggy when someone slammed me into the wall. "Oh for fuck sake." I murmured, seeing Shiela's goons. I looked at Will who stood timidly behind them. "Get your hands off us!" Ziggy shouted.
"Where is she, Witches!" One of the goons demanded. "What? Who?" I frowned at them In confusion. "What are you talking about?" Ziggy asked them.

"Shiela! Where's Sheila?" The other goon shoved me into the wall again as she spoke. Me and Ziggy shared a look of fear. "Shit!" Ziggy ran past them, me close behind. "CHLOE!" Will yelled after me. We ran to the outhouse stalls and I ripped the screwdriver out of the door. We pushed the doors open and stepped inside. Bugs crunched under our feet as we looked around. "Shiela?" I called. There was no answer.
"Shiela are you still in here? Shiela!" Ziggy started opening doors.

I started doing the same. I whipped around as there was a loud scream from Ziggy. I watched as the girl was slammed once again into a wall. Shiela started choking her. "SHEILA!" I yelled. I forced the dark haired girl away from the redhead. I yelped as I receive a slap to the face. "FUCKING HEX!" Shiela screamed in my face.
"SHIELA! Listen!" Ziggy shoved her away from me. "We're trying to help! There's a killer-" Ziggy was cut off by a slap.

Ziggy glared at her and punched her face. Shiela fell to the floor with a thud. "Well shit." I muttered, rubbing jaw, it stung from where I had been hit. Me and Ziggy looked at each other, panting.
