Story Of My Life (Book Three in the Peterick Mpreg Series)

Brokenhearted (Joe's POV)

"Andy?!" I shouted. "Where are you? Are you ok?!"

"Down here!" Andy shouted. "I'm fine!"

I followed his voice and then finally found him. When I saw him, I instantly ran up to him and engulfed him in a huge hug, kissing him everywhere, him doing the same.

"God, I'm so glad you're ok," I said.

"I am too, about you," Andy said.

"But did you hear that?" I asked.

"That scream?" he asked as we pulled apart.

"Y-Yeah," I said. "I'm scared... It sounded a lot like Pete, Andy."

"Only one thing we can do..." he said. "Everyone get over here!"

Within minutes they all showed up, except Pete...

"Oh my god," I said as I covered my mouth. "No, god, no."

"What?" Brendon asked.

"Pete isn't here," Andy said.

"What?!" everyone said as they spun around.

"No, this isn't happening," I said as I say down against the wall. "Andy, what if you're next? I already lost Patrick and Pete, I can't lose you too."

"Baby, I know it's scary, but you won't lose me. I'm staying here with you. I'm not leaving you," Andy said.

"God," I said as I pulled him down towards me and hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.

I kept Andy in my lap for a good five minutes while I, and everyone else calmed down, trying to assess the situation. After that, we discussed what we were going to do next, and it was decided that we wouldn't split up again, for fear of what happened to Pete would happen to one of us.

"Ok, so it's decided that we're all going to try and find the stairs together," Spencer said.

"Yes," Tyler said.

"Lets go before something bad happens," Josh said.

"Not so fast," that voice said.

"Not again," I whispered.

"Please! Don't hurt them!" we all heard Pete shout.

"You shut the hell up before something worse happens to you," the voice said.

"Please! Do what you want to me, don't hurt them!" Pete shouted as he cried.

The speaker went all scratchy and then we heard Pete yelling and shouting, along with the voice shouting at Pete. The sound of slapping and kicking was also very eminent.

"Oh god," I whispered.

"Have you learned your lesson now?" the voice asked faintly.

"Y-Yes," Pete stuttered out.

"There, now that your little Pete is taken care of, I'd like to play a game..."

"A-A game?" Brendon asked.

"Yes, a game," it said. "Scavenger hunt, if you will."

"Are we going to be searching for Pete, Patrick, Dallon, and Emily?" Charlie asked.

"Yes, and maybe a few more..." it said.

"You know the drill... Lights out!"

The lights instantly went out again and we all froze. Seconds later, I heard screams, and yes, screams. It wasn't just one person this time... Oh no.

"No!" Brendon shouted. "Why did you take both Tyler and Josh?!"

"Oh, you must know, don't you?" the voice asked. "I couldn't separate those two. They love each other."

"They what?" Spencer asked.

"They love each other and they're a couple... The never told you... They didn't want to," it said. "They deserve to see each others torture, right? I mean come on, we all go a little mad sometimes, haven't you?"

"You're fucking sick!" I shouted.

"I know," it said as it chuckled.

"Can we save them by playing your little game?" Andy asked.

"Ahh yes, the game," the voice said. "Would you like your first clue?"

"Please," Brendon said.

"When the voltage goes up and the sparks start flyin', and flesh and blood and bones are fryin', you must set aside your fear and bring us back a souvenir. The ash of a mortal, if you dare, look around, there's plenty to spare," the voice said.

All of us just stood there with our mouths hanging open. I don't think any of us planned on a simple show turning into a full fledged life or death situation...

"I'm every nightmare you've ever had. I'm your worst dream come true. I'm everything you ever were afraid of," the voice said. "Good luck, my children."
