The Unseen

Cole

I miss being in control of my own body. Thankfully I can speak but only to them and only in our prison in our joint minds. Toby coughs and Derek looks ready to kill him. Derek grabs Toby's shirt.

"Stop coughing, we wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't wrote that stupid list," Derek kicks the wall and I wince. "Sorry Cole, I thought that was his head. Any bright ideas about how to get out of here?" I rub my forehead and sit down, trying hard not to think about Renee. On the wall, she appears like she had been when we first met, me pulling her out of the car. I squeeze my eyes shut and when I open them, she's gone. On Derek's wall, Mai's winking seductively inside a circle of salt...This is from when we were going to fight the Haunted Painting of Anderson House. It disappears and on Toby's, Hannah's in the bathtub we found her in throwing salt at him. Someone laughs behind us.

"How touching," Raum is wearing clothes similar to mine. "These girls mean so much to you but yet how much do they actually know about you?" My wall shows us in the Motel room talking about our lives before the Unseen. Derek's shows a very naked moment and I wish I could see a lot less. Toby's shows her covering his mouth laughing about something. "Only Toby didn't let them in but one of them let him in, not as much as Derek in but in which meant the betrayal all the worst but it's not like they kissed," On Toby's wall, the image of saving Hannah and her kissing him. "Toby, I thought you were better than them, after all, they helped you with the list," Raum clicks his fingers and we're tied up, facing our own walls. "Watch as I hurt the normal people you care about, the ones not apart of the Unseen for now." I see Grandpa's house, no, no. My body knocks on the door and Grandpa opens the door, slowly. He grins when he sees my body...Not in that way.

"Cole," We hug and I want to scream it's not me. "Come in, tell me why you're here, Ole." Him saying my nickname makes me scream.

"IT'S NOT ME!" The others had screamed it at the same time. My body talks. "Grandpa, I need advise," Grandpa nods, concerned. "There's this girl, her name's Renee and she's amazing but she doesn't trust me." Because you're not me, you demon bastard. Grandpa sits down in his chair and leans forward, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Why?" My body takes out a knife and slashes his throat. Grandpa falls over and I scream. I'm no longer tied up and I curl in a ball, not looking at the wall. It disappears and the others walk over to me. Raum laughs and I've never wanted to kill someone so much before.

"As someone who lived in Hell, I've never heard a guy scream so much," I stand up and punch him in the face, he just smiles. "You know, I thought Toby was more guilty out of the three of you but maybe I was wrong." He disappears and I look at them confused.

"How would I be more guilty than the guy who accidentally got our families killed?" Derek doesn't look at me while Toby shrugs. "Why would I be more guilty?" Toby looks at the ground.

"Because you helped and told me not to tell," Who wouldn't tell you not to tell? "Then you got really close to Renee who has been pegged for her dads' murders because you helped me find the members of the Unseen." Derek frowns.

"Why wouldn't I be more guilty?" I raise my eyebrow. "I got really close with Mai," We saw that. "I hit on Renee," Calling her beautiful was a bad idea. "And I also helped with that list." We sit down and I look at Toby.

"Who was it?" He frowns at me. "The person not part of the Unseen?" On his wall, an old woman holding cookies smiles at a much younger Toby.

"My gran, she called me by my full name," Toby isn't your full name?! "Tobias. It was my granddad's name, calling me Toby to her was an insult to him. She opened the door and said Tobias before my body slit her throat." On Derek's wall, his best friend from before the Unseen, is riding her pink bike which she hated.

"He killed Emilia," I close my eyes and remember the time she told me that I'd kiss a girl then get possessed...Wow, she really was psychic. "He ripped out her heart and torn it in half," The image flares on his wall and I want to be sick. Then in the middle of our kinda circle, Mai appears and Derek stands up, smiling. "Mai." She smiles at him before looking at all of us.

"I only have a couple of minutes," She points at Derek. "When we save you guys, we're dating," He nods. She points at me. "Renee wants to date you and we have a plan," She points at Toby. "Hannah forgives you and is sorry for your cut. You need to send me a message of some kind-" She disappears and Raum appears, looking pissed.

"Well, I think you need to watch what I'm about to do," I'm tied up again and facing Derek's wall this time. "Enjoy the show." The second I see the car, I know who he's going after and I shut my eyes. I hear knocking and my eyes open to see a girl with brown hair and blue eyes. Quinn cocks her head sideways before recognizing Derek's body.

"Dere!" She hugs him and my mom stands behind her smiling. "Where's Cole?" I can't shut my eyes, I stare at my little sister as Derek's body reaches out and breaks her neck. She falls like a stone and mom runs for a phone. Derek's body catches her by her ponytail, mom gives him a look.

"Raum," How does she know who Raum is? "My son?" Raum laughs and she half closes her eyes.

"Your son is watching this, trapped inside his mind along with Derek and the boy who made this possible," His hands wrap around her neck and she struggles weakly. "Any last words?" She through his eyes to me.

"I-I l-love y-you," Then she signs something in sign language. "Either Genius or Researcher is his child." Raum chokes the life out of her and the translation rings in my mind like she had said it, Renee or Toby is Raum's kid. I'm never going to tell them even if it's the last thing I do.
