I shook a bit at the words that echoed in my mind. What did it mean, 'Who said I'm alive?' Is she dead? Am I dead? My body started to shake as tears bubbled in my eyes.

Then I felt her comforting arms around me.

I cried in her shoulder, wrapping my arms around her tightly.

At least I have someone to help me.


Even if we don't make it out alive.


"Alright, so here's the plan." I mutter in between my sniffling.

She nods, listening.


~~~


I take a deep breath, my hands shaking as I held the shotgun. Evelin puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles warmly. I smile back.

"Remember Jonah, We're doing this for Adam."

I sigh.


"But he might still be in there..."

"Jojo. He's a lost cause. Have you seen him in the house?"


I shivered, the smell of blood coming back to me.


"...y-yeah."


"...Do you smell that?"


I blink, suddenly confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Blood. I smell blood."

I blink. Surely this is a coincidence?


It got tense, and the air was thick around us. I got goosebumps, and Evelin noticed. She had worry and fear in her eyes.

I got scared too.


Suddenly, out of nowhere, The alternate pounced on me. I scream, shoving the nose of the gun down its throat and shooting into it, kicking its belly and scampering off.  As I tried to retreat, it gave me a deep scratch in my arm. I yelp, grabbing bandages and quickly and tightly wrapping it around the wound.

"YOU FUCKING-" I get cut off when the alternate morphs into Adam, shooting him through his heart. "NOOO!" I scream, trying to rush over to Adam. Evelin grabs me by my hoodie and pulls me back. "It's trying to trick you, see?" We watch as Adam gets a shadow across his face, his face covered in eyes.

I get a shiver down my back.

I pump the shotgun, shooting at Adam. I finally accept it; he's gone. He's a lost cause, if this really is him. I scream, running over to him, aiming the nose of the gun into hi chest. But he then suddenly lifts me up by my neck, choking me. I cough and sputter, trying to release his grip from my neck. I suddenly toppled to the ground, feeling something spill from my body. My vision becomes blurry as I faintly see the figures of Adam falling and Evelin rushing to me.

"Jonah, are you okay? Can y-u he-- m-? --ea-e w--e u-.."

Her voice becomes cloudy as my eyes began to close.

As I accepted my fate, the last thing I heard was sobbing, and Evelin screaming my name.


At least Adam won't be hurting now.
