chapter 14 - surprise.

maisie and serenity were both still in the back of the ambulance, both about to get driven to the hospital as kym, xander, and maia all were still talking to officers trying to figure out what happened and how daria was. maisie saw as kyms hand was cupped over her mouth and xander stood in shock as maia was trying to comfort them both, she heard reporters from outside the ambulance saying her name, calling her a hero, and a survivor. she kept all her excitement contained, she couldn't believe it.
both girls sat in the back as they then hear a voice call out from outside the ambulance, "hey, we've got two still alive!" serenity lights up as maisie sits up in the stretcher..both girls watch as steven is stretched out, still alive as he groaned in pain..then they saw as kym, xander, and maias faces lit up, they saw as..

darias body is stretched out also, still barely alive.

maisie watches in absolute terror and shock.
"s-shes alive..?" she says under her breath as serenity asks, "thank god, right..?" maisie breaths heavily as she tries to contain herself, "um..yeah, t-thank god.." serenity looks at her weirdly as the back of the ambulance gets shut and the ambulance drives off.

a couple hours later, maisie was lying in her hospital bed when someone walked in..she looked to see serenity. maisie asked, "hey..how's daria?" serenity replied, "she's doing okay, she said she doesn't remember anything though.." maisie asked, "really..?" serenity nodded, "yeah, she..she said she didn't remember anything, and after rio attacked her it all was just a blur." maisie nodded, feeling a bit of fury building up inside her as she asked, "and steven..?" serenity responds, "he just said he last remembered rio stabbing him, and him being in the attic." maisie responds, "that's..awful.." serenity replied, "yeah but..atleast they're okay, right?" maisie nodded, "yeah..right." serenity then said, "i'm gonna..go back to my room, okay?" maisie nodded as serenity then walked out. maisie immediately sat up at soon as she did, she was not about to let all her work go to waste. she took off her iv and hopped out of the hospital bed, she limped out and opened her door slightly..she looked out, she didn't see any doctors or nurses.

daria laid in her hospital bed, still feeling very weak from what happened. her stitches were fresh and new, hurting badly. she heard her door slightly open and peeked her eyes open slowly..she saw maisie walk in as maisie spoke up, "..hey, how are you?" daria replied, "better..you?" maisie responded, "um, fine.." daria then spoke up, "wait..come here for a second." maisie limped closer as she got closer to daria. daria then whispered to maisie, "i remember everything, bitch." daria pulled out a scalpel from behind her and sent it straight into maisies shoulder, maisie screamed loudly in pain as she punched it out of darias hand and jumped onto the bed, pinning daria down. daria tries to push maisie off as..maisie presses her hand deep onto darias gut, opening her stitches. daria cried out loudly in pain as she quickly punched maisie in the face as hard as she could, catching her off guard. daria shoved maisie off of her, sending her off the bed but..maisie grabs daria by the foot and pulls her down with her. daria grunts in pain as she tries to crawl away but maisie drags her back towards her and pins her down, maisie grabs the scalpel off the floor and looks at daria, "jesus christ, you should've just died at the house..this would have been a lot smoother and easier for me." daria replied, "fucking do it then." maisie chuckles, "have fun in hell, bitch." maisie raises the scalpel and goes to plunge it down before getting hit over the head with an iv machine by somebody, she grunts in pain as she rubs her head and looks up to see..steven, and serenity both standing in the room. maisie asks, "..oh what, so all you chuckle fucks know now?" steven replies, "..daria told us as soon as she saw us." maisie chuckles, "you..FUCKING BITCH!" she grabs daria and drags her towards her, trying to force the knife into her chest as daria holds her off..using all her strength as steven and serenity are trying to pry maisie off of her, daria reaches back as far as she can for anything..until she finally feels something. she grabs it and swings it at maisie to see it was a vase that had fallen off the side table when her and maisie were fighting on the bed, maisie grunts in pain as daria gets ontop of her and begins to hit her head..over and over again with the vase, maisies face begins to become red all over..until the vase shatters. the dirt gets all over maisies face and in her mouth as she coughs it up, daria grabs one of the glass shards..raises it..and sends it straight into maisies chest.

maisie coughs up blood as her body goes limp, darias panting heavily as serenity and steven help her up.
the three all look down at maisies body when they hear the door get barged in, they turn to see kym, xander and maia. maia asks, "..what the fuck happened?!" daria replies, "..she was the killer." kym and xander and maia all look at eachother, stunned.
the three walk to the group, as they all tend to eachother when..

kym yells to daria, "DARIA BEHIND YOU!" daria turns to see maisie running towards her holding a shard from the vase, daria quickly and swiftly grabs a small chair and swings it at maisie..causing her to fall to the floor weakly. daria then breaks off one of the legs of the chair..and begins to bash maisies face in with it, the others watch in shock as maisies face gets smashed in by daria with each hit of the leg.
daria continues hitting until she finally looks down and sees what is done..she's breathing heavily and mutters, "..what a fuckin rush." the group all console eachother as doctors rush in to tend to darias now opened wound again, and everything starts to get cleaned up.

the next morning, daria laid in a new hospital bed in a different room. she was asleep until she heard a door open, she opened her eyes and saw steven and serenity walk in. she smiled slightly as steven asked, "how you doing..?" daria sighed, "well..feeling sore, but..i'm not worrying about getting butchered..so that's a plus." steven chuckled as serenity asks, "guys..how even are we gonna move past this?" steven sighs as daria replies, "well, my parents just..continued on to do whatever they did in life..and yeah, maybe it continued after once but..they continued going on, and they seemed to turn out okay." steven and serenity nodded as they all looked at eachother, knowing they were going to keep eachother close. they had to, they were survivors now..barely, but they sure as hell were.
