Chapter 30

“Nick?!? What happened?” I whispered just in case someone was around.

“Thank god you found me, hurry and untie me. She is coming back.” He whispered in a panic.

“Who? Who is coming back?” I said, undoing the tie. I rushed because Nick was scared, which was making me scared. 

“Tiffany” he said looking at me dead in the eyes. “You were right about her, she is crazy. I broke up with her and she went nuts, she is coming back any time now.” he said fast.

The door knob started to turn, Nick grabbed my hand and pulled me under the bed. It was a small bed but we both fit under there. I was still in shock of what was happening, but I kept quiet. The footsteps were coming closer. 

“Cara, are you in here?” I heard, I came out from under the bed. 

“Justin, get under the bed right now. I’ll explain later!” I said, I was about to cry. He rushed under the bed confused, we all laid on our stomachs facing the foot of the bed. We heard more footsteps, they were high heels.

“That’s her.” Nick said very quietly, to where you could barley even hear him. She walked in the door and looked around. She walked to the dresser and picked up the rope that I undid.

“Dammit” Tiffany said, she quickly ran out of the room. 

“Want to explain what is going on?” Justin said still whispering. 

“Tiffany is a crazy ass bitch, and she is trying to torture Nick. I was going to the bathroom and I heard him yelling for help, so I found him in here. He was tied to the dresser, and he told me everything. Then you came in.” I explained to him.

“So what are we going to do?” Justin asked, he rolled out from under the bed. Nick and I followed and stood up next to it.

“I don’t know, we have to get out of here.” Nick said looking around.

“I live here!” Justin said rolling his eyes. “Maybe you shouldn’t have brought your crazy girlfriend to the party.” 

“Maybe you should back off.” Nick said defending himself. He got closer to Justin trying to intimidate him.

“Hey, we are about to get murder, so can you both shut up.” I said looking back and forth at both of them.

I walked out of the door looking at both sides of the hall, just in case. Then all of the lights went out. “Who cut the power?” someone said from downstairs. Then all we heard after that was screaming. I looked out of the window and people were scattered across the streets.

“I need to find Ella and Melissa.” I said to the boys. I ran downstairs, both of them followed me. I couldn’t see anything. Some people had their phones out and you could see the light from that, but that was it. I walked around, bumping into people.

“Ella!” I shouted. 

“Cara!” someone said back. 

“Ella!?!” I said again.

“Cara! Where are you?” I asked walking towards a room, I grabbed onto a wall.

“I am over here!” I heard, getting closer. 

“Follow my voice!” I said to her, gradually she came over to me and we hugged it out. “Ella, Where is Melissa?” 

“I don’t know, she screamed and then ran somewhere. I can’t find James either.” she said panicking.

“We are going to find them.” I said. Nick and Justin came behind me. Then I heard something. My eyes were adjusting to the dark and I could see some faces. 

“I told you to stay away from my boyfriend..” I heard from behind us. We all turned around, and Tiffany was standing before us with a knife in her hand. She had turned into pure evil.

We all ran upstairs because it was the closest to us. We were freaking out. “In here!” Justin said pointing to a door, he put his hand on my back and gently pushed me into the doorway. “Go in the bathroom to the left of the desk!” he directed.

We all ran in the bathroom, there was one window and it led to the roof. We weren’t sure how far away Tiffany was but we hid in the room for awhile. About 20 minutes went by and Ella was crying, I had to cover her mouth for some of the time or we would be found.

“Okay, we can try to make our way downstairs. Or take the window?” Justin whispered looking at me.

“I am afraid of heights.” Ella said to us. 

“Downstairs it is.” Justin said back.

We got up from the bathroom floor and walked out of both doors. We got to the hallway and tip-toed to the stair case. We heard running from behind us. Tiffany was a few feet from us and we ran down stairs as fast as we could. Nick found a pan from the kitchen and we stood behind the open arch between the kitchen and the living room. 

“Run. Ill take care of her” Nick said as he stood behind a wall.

“I am not leaving you here..” I said to Nick. 

“Come on Cara! We have to get out of here!” Justin said to me already running to the door.

“No! I am not leaving him.” I said, I ran next to Nick and looked at him.

“Well I am not leaving you here either.” Justin said to me. He ran over behind the couch.

“I am not going by my self!” Ella ran over to where Justin was and we waited quietly.

Her footsteps were getting closer and as soon as she got to where we wanted. Nick swatted the pan and the reflex of her arm swung and the knife cut Nick in the leg. She was knocked out for the moment. 

“Are you okay?!” I said to Nick. He was lying on the floor in pain. It was a deep cut, and it was bleeding.

“I got it, my mom was a nurse.” Justin came over to, he took part of his Prince Charming outfit and ripped it. He spit into the cloth to make it damp and applied it to the wound. 

“Thanks man.” Nick said to Justin as he sat up from a laying position.

Justin and I helped Nick up to his feet. “She is still alive.” Ella said to us with a shocked face as she was staring behind us. We all looked back and she was getting up, she was making her way to us when we heard a gunshot.
