Dark Løve | Jake Fitzgerald (Complete+being edited 2021)

Chapter 24: Still playing games

"So 1 out of 10, how much did you hate me?"
Jake asked while standing on arcade ball game alleys. Natalie leaned against the wall.
"An 11."
"Really."
"You really pissed me off."
"But what about now?"
"Eh, your alright."
He smiles creepily putting a light under his chin.
"There's a killer on the loose, nobody should die hating eachother...anger nor otherwise."
"Oh my god. Jake fitzgerald, please don't tell me your using the fear of death to get in my pants."
"Absolutely not."
He smirks and Nat rolls her eyes.
"Unless that comforts you."
Jake adds.
"You're unbelievable..."
She walks away.
"I'm guessing thats a no..."
He gets up and follows.
"Come on Nat. I was just messing around."
"Yeah whatever...your like a caveman, bored, worn out and broken. Thinking about themselves"
"Sorry nobody is perfect as you."
"I never said I was."
Natalie leaned against a door.
"Well, some people may think you are."
"If you want girls to like you...drop the frat boy act or you won't be getting an actual girlfriend anytime soon."
Jake lifts his knife and stabs it into the door behind her. Natalie looks up at Jake and he looks down at her. His other hand is placed on her waist, he gently pushes up against her.
"You done, cause i could easily have you right now..."
She looks to the side and back to him.
"Sure..."
"Let's go."
He pulls the knife out and kneels down and goes under some police tape, into a room.
"Wait there Nat."
He calls and Nat sighs and bites her lip.
"You never leave a girl hanging like this Jake."
In the dark Nat walks up to some tables. She looks and jumps when something breaks in the distance.
She looks and than turns to see the killer, standing with his knife held high.
Natalie screams and runs to the left, dodging the knife swing.

...

Natalie runs into a room and closes the door.
"Nat?"
"The Killers here! Jakes out there alone!"
She looks and sees Noah, Brooke and Emma infront of Will hanging from his hands.
"Oh my god."
"Help me."
Emma calls.
Noah finds an unsharpened knife. He cuts the rope and Emma grabs Will, pulling him down to the ground.
She pulls off some tape that was covering his mouth and unties his hands. She gently slaps his face to make him wake up. He doesn't still.
Natalies phone goes off.
"It's Audrey."
She picks it up and talks to her.
"Hey Noah didn't pick up his phone and I'm in a need of coffee."
"Audrey!"
"Nat?"
"We found Will...he's hurt and this is going horribly."
"Nat...I c-t hear y-u. Where are you"
"We've at a bowling alley at the corner of sixth."
"Nat...y-r br-king -p!"
The phone service cuts out.
"SHIT!"
Natalie kneels down beside Will.
Emma takes her jacket off and puts it under his head.
"Come on...This is not how you die!"
Wills chest lifted and he opened his eyes.
Emma lifted him up and places her head on his.
"I'm so sorry..."
"Your safe now."
Emma lifted his shirt and there was a gash, blood was everywhere.
"That's alot of blood."
"You need stitches so this will do."
She grabs a roll of tape and places it over.
"I need to go back out there...find Jake."
"You can't. You'll help me guard the door okay."
Noah grabbed Nats hand and they walked to the door.
"How do you not know he isn't joined with this killer or the actually killer"
"Jake isn't the killer...he can't be."
Noah grabbed tape and tried to hold 3 things at once.
"What are you doing?"
"Making a spear."
She grabs the tape, knife and stick and easily joins them together. Brooke grabs the same stuff and does the exact same as her.
"I don't wanna know how you two are better then me at that."
"It's a spear."
Brooke and Nat said at the same time.
They smirked and something started to play in the announcement radio. It plays a children like song, starting with 'Daisy, Daisy give me your answer too...'
"Play me..."
Emma held a little disk, for a record player.
"That's different."
Brooke said.
"Creepy music...that's what was missing.
"Hey guys I know this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I'll be right back."
"Your kidding right!"
Brooke yelled.
"Em no."
She moved the pole that Natalie placed over the door.
"Thats your famous last words."
She opened the door and left shutting it behind her.
"Help me up."
Natalie grabbed Wills arm and lifted him.
"Okay, we can't have Emma go out there alone and we need to find Jake.
We need weapons."
"Yupp...I'm way ahead of you."
Noah said.
Will grabbed a wrench.
"That'll do."
Screams filled the echos of the building. It was Jake.
"Aghhhhh! WHERE ARE YOU!"
Natalie looked at the door.
"JAKE!"
