(TW: Violence, Scary themes, light cussing)

A pit in my stomach grows as I watch the phantoms claws rake through Logan's side. Blood spatters on the back of the bus seat as Logan goes down I run to Logan both me and Ashlyn shout "Logan!" Looking at Logan's side it looks deep- 'Shit- shit shit-' I try to get Logan up out of the seat I can see tears roll down his cheeks it makes me feel...angry. Aiden calls out "(Y/N) duck!-" I look to see the Phantom already swinging in for a hit but I duck just in time it barley grazing the tips of my hair.

Anger boils in the pit I stand up grabbing onto the phantoms wrist and push the base of the metal pipe down on its wrist and pin its hand in place I push the pipe down hard I hear bone crack it makes me sick but at the same time satisfied as the phantom seems to screech in pain flailing around. The others finally catch up I look to the side to the others they finally are able to get over "Ashlyn!" Immediately Ashlyn barks out orders "Twins grab the legs!- Ben you stab it!"

Each of their expressions are uneasy but do as their told Tyler and Taylor go for the legs as Ben lifts up over his head a big pair of garden clippers before plunging it into it's back. The the phantoms body tenses up before finally going limp I can't stop staring at the shears that are now in its back...the headaches stoped the feeling of dread finally left.

A sigh of relief washes through everyone I stagger back in disbelief 'we did it- it's dead?'
I blink out of my thoughts looking back to Logan who's curled up in a ball of pain. I knelt down to his side trying to keep my voice calm as possible "Logan- hey...hey bud it's ok- it's not even that bad your gonna be ok I promise" Tyler comes to my side in seconds looking just as worried "Hey dude you alright? Can you move?" Logan doesn't respond Aiden's voice behind us almost makes me jump.

"Yeah we should probably hurry and patch him up-" I look back to see Aiden who looks like he just got in a fight with an octopus and lost. I try not to imagine that image. "You ok dude?" Aiden just shrugs "Never better-" I nod at the response before helping Tyler get Logan up I glacé to Tyler "you ok?" Tyler doesn't look back to me but at least responds "I'm fine- what about you?" I nod back as we bring Logan to the back of the bus "good good- going soft on me or something?" He shakes his head "Never in your wildest dreams-" I can't help but get a slight smile- 'even in the most horrible situations he can still do that to me...I hate it- him and his dumb- nice ish looking face'

"How- How bad is it?" Everyone looks at the same massive scratch in Logan's side he's to scared to look at it himself which we can use to our advantage to calm him down a little. He starts sobbing "Why aren't you guys saying anything?? It's bad isn't it!? It hurts! I'm scared!" I panic shaking my head "no no it's ok it's ok! It's not that bad your good man it's ok it just hurts more than it looks like it should or something?!-" Ashlyn grabs some pain meds following suit putting a hand on his head giving a small sympathetic pat "It's okay! It's okay! Calm down!" She holds up the pills for him. "Here- some pain meds from the first aid"

I turn to Ben slightly tugging on his sleeve for him to look at me. "Ben can you clean and bandage him up please?" Ben gives me a simple nod getting up to get the things he needs. After he's done cleaning him up Logan looks so exhausted closing his eyes for just a second he falls over asleep "Ah!-" Taylor catches his head befor it hits the floor of the bus "we should probably let him rest for a bit"
Ashlyn sits down in one of the seats "Guess that means the Savannah conversation is on hold for now" Tyler scoffs which earns his a flick to the back of the head from me turning around he glares to me as I just play it off like I didn't do it-
