3rd Person Pov

"Are y-you hurt, did the bastard hurt you?" Mason said as he frantically checked Ziggy.

"I-I'm fine...did he hurt you?" She asked almost as panicked.

"No no, its the curse I'm telling you" Ziggy sighed annoyed.

"Don't worry about it now, I heard the bell, their getting on the bus soon, we need to go" Mason said in a rush and grabbed Ziggy's hand to go.

"What about my sister?" She asked worried.

"...Your right, we need to get her, then we can leave..." Mason said.

"Its Christine" Ziggy muttered.

"What?" Mason asked.

"My real name...Christine" Ziggy said embarrassed.

"That's a beautiful name...maybe after all of this we can get a small house and a dog like we planned" Mason smiled breathlessly.

"Like you planned" Ziggy smirked calming down.

"Its not a future of mine if your not in it" Mason said as the two briefly kissed before the rattling of the door was heard, followed by the break of a window, the two peered over the counter to see Tommy standing ominously in the door frame before slowly walking to their location.

They were able to move themselves without being spotted as Tommy broke a snake's cage and the duo continued to move around. They retreated behind another counter, they thought they were safe when a snake slithered its way up to them, working its way around the duo's legs, everything was deadly quiet when Ziggy was yanked up by her hair by Tommy.

Mason sprung up and pushed Ziggy away from an incoming axe strike, causing three fingers on his left hand to be cut off completely.

"RUN!" Mason yelled as Ziggy quickly stood up and ran out of the room with tears in her eyes, Tommy soon followed.

"HEY FUCKFACE!" Mason yelled out as Tommy stopped in the doorway. "Get your hands...of my fucking girlfriend" 

Mason rushed at Tommy and punched him in the face, he swung his axe to his torso but he narrowly avoided it and struggled with him for a minute before he was able to grab the axe from him, he started flailing it around, but as he wasn't used to using an axe Tommy grabbed his neck and threw him across the room. 

Tommy slowly walked over to the axe, picked it up and left to find Ziggy. Mason rubbed his head as he slowly stood up and walked over to the doorway, where he saw a shadow of Tommy stalking after a shadow of Ziggy, who ran into another building.

Mason scurried over towards the building and heard the screams of Ziggy coming from the pantry, he carefully made his way over to it, there he saw Ziggy having the life chocked out of her by Tommy. Mason grabbed a sack and quickly wrapped it around Tommy's neck, beginning to strange him as his grip loosened from Ziggy and she crashed to the floor.

"RUN!" Mason called out again as the now bagged Tommy and Mason scuffled on the floor as Ziggy ran into the other room.

The two traded blows on the floor for a while until a right hook to Mason's face left him on the floor in pain, Tommy stood up but before he could swing, a large knife was impaled through his stomach, then another and then another, Tommy fell beside Mason as he looked up to his savior.

"...Cindy?" Mason said breathless as she helped him up and both went towards Ziggy.

"Cindy?" Ziggy said as the two quickly embraced. "You smell like shit"

"That's because I'm covered in it" Cindy half laughed as Mason walked his way over to the two, but kept his head down since they were having a moment.

"I think you need to buy a new polo" Ziggy said as the three started chuckling.
