Angelo was in the waiting room when Devin and I entered. He looked up and waved at us as we walked over, sitting on either side of him.
"How's Ryan?" I asked.
"They're doing surgery." Angelo said.
"What did you tell them?" Devin asked.
"I told him he was attacked by a bear in the woods." Angelo said.
Devin chuckled. "They believed that?"
Angelo smirked. "Obviously."
I sighed and leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling. I still had a bad feeling about this whole thing. I had a feeling Chris had followed us to the hospital, I don't know why I was thinking this, but I did.
An hour or so later, the doctor came out. "Are you three here for Ryan?" he asked.
"Yes, is he okay?" Angelo asked, standing up.
Devin and I stood up beside Angelo. The doctor nodded. "Yes, you may go see him now. He's in room 232." he said.
We walked down the hallway and then up to the second floor. This particular floor had flickering lights and I didn't like it.
"Are you sure this is the right floor?" I asked, staying close to Devin.
"He said room 232....but I don't see it." Angelo said.
We stopped and looked at the room doors. 230 was on one side and then beside it was nothing and beside that was 234. It was as if 232 was missing.
Half of the lights in the hallway went out, causing the three of us to turn around. From the end of the hallway, a slow fog began to pour in. Emerging from the fog were five figures.
I felt my breath stop in my chest as they got closer. I knew the first two were Chris and Kuza. Next to them was Balz and...Ryan. They had gotten to him.
"Devin...I want to go.." I said, backing up, grabbing onto his hand.
There was another boy with them, one I didn't know, but he looked familiar. Chris stopped and the four of them stopped beside him.
"If you give me Kerstin, you two won't have to join me again." Chris said.
"Go to hell, Chris!" Devin hissed.
"Oh, I've already been there, it's quite nice, actually. Lucifer says hi." Chris said, making the four boys beside him chuckle.
"He can take that hello and shove it up his ass, or yours." Angelo said.
"Angelo, you're so hostile now, I wonder if you'll still have the same hostility when I break your fucking neck and bring you back to my side." Chris growled, his eyes turning bright red.
"You're not getting Kerstin." Devin said.
"Ryan and Josh haven't fed and I could easily let them advance on the three of you, Devin, you may have knocked me down earlier but you can't keep me down, as you can see." he explained.
"You can't come over here, we're in the light." Angelo said.
"I can easily fix that." Chris said, snapping his fingers.
The rest of the lights went out. Devin grabbed my hand and took off running down the hallway. We rounded the corner and ran right into Ryan and Josh.
"Hi." Ryan said, waving.
I screamed as he grabbed Devin, shoving him into the wall. Josh grabbed me. "I got her! Chris!"
"Let...her..go!" Devin said, struggling to breathe from Ryan's death grip.
