"Have you lot settled back down yet?" Jason rolled his eyes at... his crowd? No one said anything. He shrugged looking over everyone left alive. The gun was being tossed between his hands. He stopped when his eyes got to me. I stopped looking at him and looked at my hands.
Luke nudged me moments later. I looked back up and Jason was sill looking at me with his eye brows raised.

"Don't avoid me." He said.

"Sorry." I stuttered. A small mumble swam through everyone.

"SHUT UP!" He shouted raising his arm and a deafening gun shot went through the roof.
He put a hand to his forehead looking to the old body at his feet.
"Will you all... Can you all not understand your place here?" He looked up again at everyone. "Your down HERE!" He kicked the body further into the isle. Everyone watched as it slid across the floor collecting dirt with It before it was stopped as it collided with another.
Jason stepped over the body walking to the back of the bus sitting down at the very back. You could see the temptation and desire to move away from him on the faces of those around this seats. I'd rather sit near him out here than nearly on top of him with his hand on my face in his cab.

"And I'm up here." He referred to being higher up than everyone else. "Does anyone have any objections to that?"
Jason looked around the bus seeming to make eye contact with every single person, his cold glare looking into everyone's souls.

"But why? Can't you just let us go now you've had your fun?" My head spun seeing the lovely lady I spoke to earlier. "Revenge? Take it up with the person who did it! Not us!"
I couldn't believe her. She was going to get both of us killed! My knees were bouncing. Shaking my head at her.

"You think this is a bit of fun?" Jason stood. HIs voice was sinister. "You seem to be taking this lightly, as a joke." He walked towards her. "Do you not see who's in control here?" The two of them were face to face. Inches from each other. "I am. Me. And I will do whatever I want. You can't stop me. My "revenge" as you put it has nothing to do with you." He spat the last part almost as she did when speaking of him earlier.
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Jason demanded.

She spat in his face.

He shot her.

Someone behind her screamed as they got hit by the scatter of blood.

"Anyone else?!" The driver shouted red in the face letting her body drop to the floor spinning to us. Veins were visible on his neck.
He strode towards me before quickly grabbing my face squeezing my checks together.
"And you can KEEP IT SHUT!"
It felt as though me eyes were going to pop out of my head. My heart beating faster than I had even felt or seen anything go. I was face to face with the man that would kill me. That has killed and will kill again. And I could do nothing but shake.

Jason let go of my face and stormed off. Tears scared my checks. He was out of site and I dropped my head between my knees sobbing. Heavy sobs ripped through my body as I heaved.
The silence that encased my sobs made it worse. I cried from fear and  from embarrassment. I cried from hatred and from guilt. Everything was falling apart around us. The world was probably still spinning and people still going to work. My world was ending. I tried to slow my breathing. To take control back of my body but I couldn't.

The uniqueness of each snow flake had left us. Suddenly we were all the exact same. We're no no longer our selves. Our identities and personalities had been stolen from us as had the lives of many. I was no different from Luke. He was no different from the next person.  This man had taken everything we had.
Everything any of us have dreamed of.
