Lone Survivors

XX (Or Create Your Hell)

"Have you cleaned up the footage yet?"

Spencer ran a frustrated hand through his hair, glancing over at Johnny Keller stationed at the dining room table. Justin stopped by the bus the two of them catching up just like old times. While he appreciated the sense of normalcy, he couldn't help but feel like something was about to happen.

I didn't take you for a pessimist Charnas, at least try to think positive.

"I'll be an optimist when we find the bastard who murdered my family." He leaned back. After saving Kait the two of them sat down attempting to give Spencer's demonic counterpart a name. They offered Dev, short for Devil, his other side begrudgingly approved. Now the two of them could sit side by side and be easily told apart.

"Is anyone else uncomfortable by the fact that there's two Spencer's?" Justin looked around the room.

"I'll be honest, I prefer this." Patrick answered.

"Before he would just start talking to himself." Dan nodded.

We are all a little insane. Dev chuckled.

"Some of us more than the others." Spencer smirked.

"If we're done talking to ourselves, there's good news to be had." Johnny looked up from his laptop. "The program finished cleaning up the footage, hey Ricky you got something I can use to hook this up to the tv?"

Ricky went into the back room coming back with a single chord. He handed one end to Johnny plugging the other one into the HDMI port. Johnny clicked the play button the screen coming to life. Chris was the first to enter the frame, his height and hair color easily distinguishable in the semi grainy camera footage. Johnny hit pause at the second person that came into the frame. Spencer could make out the wavy hair hidden beneath a black beanie cap.

"Holy Shit!" Joe exclaimed. "That's Horror, isn't it?"

Don't start panicking just yet Charnas. Dev picked up on Spencer's uneasiness.

"Easier said than done." He snapped. "Amias said she went with him about forty-five minutes ago."

"Chris wanted to show her our new single." Justin smiled. "He's been talking about her nonstop it's been driving Ricky crazy."

"Funny you should say that." Johnny shut the lid of his laptop. "Chris has been actively avoiding Kaitlynn to protect her from his partner-in-demonic-crime. Ricky, Patrick, Dan, Joe, I will advise you take yourselves into the backroom."

They backed up slowly feeling the temperature in the room steadily dropping. Ice began to form on the windows. Justin's eyes went black a knife materializing in his awaiting hands.

"I did not see this coming." Johnny slid out of the booth. Spencer checked his phone, no texts from Kaitie. There was one from Amias the message made his heart stop.

I haven't heard from Cap and it's been over an hour now, have you heard anything from her?

"I would advise against answering that Spence. You and I need to have a little chat." Justin took a step forward.

"There's nothing to talk about. The text you saw me look at is from Kait, I'm late for-"

"You've always been a terrible liar." He rolled his eyes. "Kait is with Ricky and if she's as intuitive as Chris says she is, she'll have the Slayer's identity all figured out just in time for Ricky to take her soul."

If Kaitlynn has figured it out then we need to get to her and fast.

"Brilliant idea, you got a plan to get us out of this?" Spencer asked feeling the familiar weight of the axe in his hands.
