Unwanted Cupcakes

Chapter Twenty Nine

"Would You Rather?" I repeat, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Chase's smirk falters before he clears his throat and glares, "With a twist," he mumbles.

"Oh I'm sorry," I say sarcastically. "I forgot about the twist. I'm sure that'll make it much better."

"Shut up," he hisses, lifting up his gun and aiming it at me. When I close my mouth - not before rolling my eyes, that is - he motions towards the two other chairs in the room. "Strap them down," he orders, pointing at Alisha and Flynn.

Dan and door-guy nod, walking forward and taking one of the two. Dan grabs Alisha, sitting her down on the chair closest to me, tying her hands behind her back before removing the blindfold - door-guy doing the same with Flynn except on the chair that's closer to Lexis - then going back to flanking Chase's side.

"Jesus, it's so bright," Alisha groans, screwing her eyes shut. "At least warn me before you're gonna take the blindfold off, I wasn't ready."

"Fuck, Lexis," Flynn says, finally being able to look at him. "What the fuck happened, you look like shit."

"Thank you, Flynn," Lexis snaps.

"And him," Chase says tilting his head in Lexis' direction. The guy next to Lexis yanks the blindfold off, throwing it onto the floor beside him. Lexis groans and flinches back as the light previously blocked from him hits him at full force.

"Well then," Chase says, rubbing his hands together, "Let's get started. Who wants to go first?"

It's silent until Alisha speaks up, "Will the questions be 1D or Larry related by any chance?"

Flynn, Lexis and I all groan simultaneously to which Dan quietly laughs and Chase sighs, "Not this again."

"What? I just want to know!"

"No," Chase says slowly, "There will be no Larry questions."

Alisha shakes her head. "Then I'm definitely not playing."

"It's not a choice!" Chase growls. "You either play or I shoot you."

"Yeesh, what's got your panties in a twist," she mumbles, sighing. "All right, I'll play."

"No more asking. Flynn, you're going first," Chase says, pointing at Flynn who shakes his head.

"That's not fair! Why me? Choose Lexis or Faye!"

"No, don't choose Lexis or Faye. You chose Flynn, so do Flynn," I argue, glaring at Flynn who glares back.

Chase turns to Dan and looks at him exasperatedly. "Why can't I just shoot them all now?"

"Uh, because you said that what you have planned is much better, sir," Dan answers.

"Oh right," Chase nods. "That is true. Okay, Flynn, you're answering. Don't answer, you get shot. Simple as that. The only rule is don't lie. Okay, let's start."

...

I don't know how much time went by, but it seemed like after hours and hours of boring 'Would You Rather' questions, they got a little more interesting.

Chase started off asking stupid shit like, "Would you rather be a plate or a bowl?" to which Flynn answered, "bowl because people use bowls for cereal and ice cream and I really like ice cream", Lexis answered "neither, you little shit", Alisha answered, "I'd be a powl. You get it? A plate and a bowl" and I answered, "plate because why the fuck not?".

Suffice to say, Chase was done with us and our amazing answers.

"Alright, bullshit questions over, let's get to the real ones," Chase says, smirking maliciously.

"I thought those were the questions," Alisha whines, "We've been playing this damn game for ages!"

"Tough shit," he snaps. "We're still playing."

Lexis, who'd gained enough strength to lift his head up during the game and actually answer a few questions, sighs saying, "Well get on with it then."

Chase looks at Flynn, smiling. "Flynn, would you rather shoot Alisha or Lexis?"

"Wait, shoot as in kill shoot, or shoot as in just injure shoot?" Flynn asks.

"Kill shoot," Chase says.

"Oh, then I'd definitely shoot Lexis," he answers, nodding.

"What?" Lexis says, offended, "You'd shoot me?"

"Sorry man, but I can't shoot Ali, she'd probably come back from the dead and haunt my ass."

"Actually," Alisha cuts in, "I can't come back from the dead, that doesn't happen. But I will be on your mind 24/7, the fact that you actually killed me being the thing that haunts you."

"See!" Flynn says, looking at Lexis, "I mean, if I killed you, it'd be fine because, like, I mean, you're an asshole at times so it'd be justified."

"You're a dick," Lexis growls, glaring at him. "And if it came down to it, I'd shoot you as well."

"So we're even then."

Chase quickly cuts off Lexis' reply, "Next question. Faye, shoot Lexis or shoot Alisha? And yes, shoot as in kill shoot."

"You," I answer.

"What d'you mean me? That wasn't an option."

"It wasn't? Oh okay, but I'd still shoot you because you're an annoying, deflated boob."

Chase aims the gun at me, "Answer or I shoot."

"You're threatening to shoot the person you're asking who they'd rather shoot, how ironic," I point out, laughing. "And I did answer - I said you - but fine, if it came down to it, I'd shoot Lelisha. Or Lexisha. Or Alexis. Yeah, Alexis, that one sounds better. In case you don't get it, it's the both of them."

"You'd shoot us both?" Alisha shrieks, looking betrayed. "I thought we were friends, Faye."

"We are," I say, "But I'm also, sort of, kind of, friends with Lexis so it'd only be fair if I shot both of you."

"I'm so done with them all," Chase growls to Dan, shaking his head. "You don't understand how much restraint it's taking to not just shoot them."

Alisha scoffs, "Hey, you were the one that decided to kidnap us, we didn't just walk in here and start annoying you. So ultimately, it's your fault."

Chase is about to say something back when suddenly there's shouting, screaming and gunshots going off. "What the fuck is going on out there?" He asks.

Door-guy runs to the door but doesn't get past it when there's a bang! and his dead body falls to the floor, blood staining through his top. The shooter steps forward in all his expensive shoes and suit attire, smiling, "You all look a little tied up-- mind the pun. Am I interrupting something?" Damon asks, looking at us all, lingering on Lexis before staring right at Chase.

"Damon," Chase grits out, aiming his gun at him along with Dan and the guy that's next to Lexis lifts up the knife he was using to cut at Lexis' skin. "How've you been? Gotta say, I didn't think you'd find them in time."

"In time for what?" Damon replies, but his question gets answered when Chase turns to his right and shoots, a shattering scream leaving my lips as the bullet hits it's target.

A/N

Please, no. I don't want to continue. I want to stop right here. Fuck me, why did I go through with this.

I want to cry.
