the disney murders | completed

fourteen.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Lexee smiled maliciously towards them as Nathan, with a emotionless face, held up a gun with a flash of silver as the moonlight reflected off of the metal. A breath caught in Brynn's throat and she stumbled away from the tank, collapsing onto the ground next to Chloe, burying her pale face into the brunette's shoulder. Mackenzie, Anna and Rhianna had scuttled backwards, closer to the others and they all cuddled closer in silence. Nathan was taking small steps forward hesitantly as if he was being brainwashed but fighting against the hypnotist. Lexee's eyes were wild with anger and the passion for hurt, scaring Chloe more than the gun or the dead body in the tank nearby them. That wasn't her best friend up there, it was a twisted caricature of her best friend after insanity had clutched her and tortured her until she did everything that it said.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀But that was Lexee, the same girl she'd gone on holiday with to Spain when they were 13 and spent the whole holiday with trying to find her boy crazy friend a boyfriend. Lexee who had comforted Chloe when she cried after her sister died, for weeks on end, when nobody else would. Lexee who made her smile. Lexee who made her cry with laughter. Lexee who killed her friends and was now going to kill Chloe herself.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀She'd killed Mackenzie's sister, Brynn's boyfriend, all of their friends and she wasn't going to stop. Lexee plus Nathan would make an unstoppable serial killing team, especially since both now seemed to be devoid of feeling hurt or sympathy, nothing but emptiness and maliciousness.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀Tears of betrayal ran down Chloe's cheeks as she pushed Brynn away from her slightly, pushing against the ground to stand up, begging her knees not to buckle beneath her no matter how badly they were shaking. She took a few shaky steps towards Nathan, looking the short boy dead in the eyes, past the barrel of the gun. Nathan was still advancing, and it seemed as if the pair were going to meet in the middle and it would be a stand off, with an unfair advantage of Nathan since he was the only one of the pair with a weapon.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀Everything seemed to go silent in the moments as she advanced, she couldn't hear the screams of protest from the others, Brynn sobbing as she attempted to run towards her, but Anna held her back, shaking her head, saying that it was a lost cause. Chloe thought she was going to die, and in her pounding head the fists of sensibility banging against their cage, begging to be let out.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀She was so close to Nathan now, so close that he could fire a single shot and kill her, sending her body backwards. However, he didn't, Nathan had stopped dead, leaving his feet on the ground shoulder width apart and left Chloe to complete the rest of the journey.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀Lexee had moved to lean against a wall, a smile of content across her face as she watched the moments occur. The hand that Nathan was using to clutch the gun tightly was trembling slightly by now, but he still had enough closeness to Chloe to shoot her with pin point accuracy.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀Mackenzie couldn't breathe, her throat was constricted and she found herself sobbing silently, clutching Rihanna's forearm so tightly that her knuckles went taut and white. Without Chloe they would've been dead. They needed her, or they'd all be gone.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀Still advancing, closer amd closer the the second, Chloe looked Nathan dead on in the eye, biting her lip gently. His gaze was unwavering, dead into Chloe's large eyes, it was rather unnerving. But then it flickered down, hitting the ground for a second before flickering over to the crying clump next to the tank and finally back to the gun. His lips parted for just a second, mouthing two short words that Chloe could barely understand, but she quickly made sense of.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm sorry.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀It happened so quick Chloe couldn't make sense of it. One gun shot then another, and tears flooding down her cheeks as the numbness spread throughout her body.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀One shot for the main perpetrator, a single but fatal shot through the chest, and Lexee collapsed to the ground, her knees buckling as she let out her last breath as her face smashed against the ground and blood pooling around her. One shot for himself, Nathan smiled at Chloe and nodded, repeating those two words again, before he placed the cold metal to his head and squeezed the trigger hard.⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm sorry.⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀-a.n⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀I'm sorry that I haven't updated this for ages but I've been busy and I didn't really know where to take the story. I suddenly realised I wanted a chapter with no dialogue at all and just straight description and I'm actually pretty proud of this. I'm not sure how many more chapters there'll be, perhaps one more, but that you for coming on this ride. The Disney murders is one of my favourite books I've ever written and I love each and every one of you for reading it.
