Dead Waters

Screams

Chris runs down the hall as fast as his legs could go and as much as his beating heart could take.

« Jack POV »

They have been searching around the ship but kept ending up in the same place, they kept going to the stairwell that had candles and a painting of The Scream, Shane decided to say something to brake the ice, "he couldn't have gone far... Don't worry about it! We'll probably run into him sooner or later."

"My only concern is getting off this ship alive... We need to start looking for a way out rather than running in circles!" Eric replies, and sighs, "looking for someone who might already be dead..."

"Maybe you're right, I mean, he left us so why not leave him? Screw the guy!" Shane putting his arms over his neck supporting his head and helping him breathe more clearly.

"Look... Let's just hurry up and keep searching. I'm sure we'll be ok as long we stick together." Everyone is calm and in control.

"Damn it Eric! i should have stayed home... Now I might not ever see it again..." Jack frowns and begins to sink down.

"Oh... So now it my fault?! Yes. Jack. I tottally planned to get abducted and have an exploding bracelet strappes to my arm!!" Eric was getting sick and tired of Jack always complaining now he was starting to act like Chris and Shane.

"Ugh. Your such an as... Wait..." Jack trembles, "did you hear that?"

Everyone's eyes widen when they saw Chris run through the door sweating waterfalls and shaking, "woah... What the hel... Chris?!" Eric takes a step but then steps back.

"Alright! Oh... Oh my god... I've... I've gotta get off this ship... G... Get away from me... Stay back... Stay back!!" Chris becomes insane almost like a metal patient and sprints out of the room screaming.

Everyone runs after him, "Chris? Chris! Wait! Stop!!" They come to the side of the ship, it was pirch black outside and the water was brown they couldn't tell if they were in Londan anymore, Eric and Jack stay at the door and Chris is in the middle of a life boat and the door he had to choose, "Chris wait!! We don't know what will happen if we go in the water!! The thing on your wrist might detonate!"

"He right... Just take a step back... Come on... Take it easy now... We'll find away off... But it can't be like this..." Jack holds out his hand to Chris telling him to come inside.

"Shane was right. This is just all some sick prank. If we were really being hunted... Why would there be a life boat on the ship?! I'm sorry. I'm getting the hell off this ship!" Chris walks slowly towards the boat and steps on, "I'm ok... Guys I'm o-" before Chris could finish he exploded his limbs and organs fell like hail and his blood like rain onto Eric's and Jack's face, they panic and wipe the blood off their faces in fear looking at their pale hands that was covered in Chris's blood that trembled like an avalanche, they both run inside, Shane just stared at them, he knew Chris had got himself killed by Jack and Eric's expressions across their stained faces that were white as a ghost.

"Ok. Listen. What happened to Chris was... Unfortunate" Shane was pretty calm concerting a guy in his group just got himself killed.

"UNFORTUNATE?! Unfortunate my ass! Shane get it threw your damn thick skull! Chris is dead! I was showered in his blood... And you... You! Where the hell were you?!" Jack head was down and his fist curled.

"Well I thought you two could handle it just fine... Besides, the guy couldn't stand me. Me being there would have probably made it worse." Shane backs away from Jack.

"Worse?! How could it possibly be any worse Shane?! I had to wipe pieces of him off my face!!! He was crazy. Something happened to him back there... Something terrible." Jack freaks out and looks around on the ground.

"Enough, with this paranormal crap, man! Enough! Ok, I was wrong. But, this isn't some prank. But at the same time, we need to try keep our cool. Were not being chased by demons." Shane looks at the mask then back at Jack. "It's an old dangerous ship. Some psychopath kidnapped us and trying to murder us all... But ghost didn't kill him, a freaking bomb strapped to his wrist did!!!

Jake want to smack Shane so hard it would fly him off the ship, "Then what about the bodies I saw...?! What about demanding for sacrifice...?! We need to figure this out before we all end up like Chris."

Eric finally speaks up, "I don't know, Jake i'm trying to stay calm as much as I can. But we can't jump to any conclusions. Just one thing that concerns me, though, isn't that the mask that Chris was talking about?" Everyone looks over at the mask as Shane smiles and laughs insanely.

"Oh my god... Your right! This room... It... It must be some kind of sacrificial after." Jake has usually was freaking out because he can never stay calm...

"Ok. That it! This superstitious crap needs to stop. I'm going to prove to you guys both that there is no such thing as demons." Shane walks up the steps to the mask.

"WHAT?! You can't be serious?!" Jack looks at Shane as he gets to the top, "Shane get back here! You could put us all in danger!" Jake tries to get to him, "SHANE DON'T PUT THAT MASK ON!! SHANE!!!" Everything was quiet, "S-shane..?"

Shane puts on the mask and he just froze there not moving a muscle his heart was beating and his lungs were breathing but he wasn't moving so he seemed dead, Eric looks at Shane with his worried eyes, "Jake... What the hell is going on?!"

Jake froze to, "Shane... Shane are you ok?" Jake twitched his arms.
