Just saying, there's some pretty intense swearing in this chapter so if you are uncomfortable with that, I'm really sorry but I found it fitting for the situation.

(Also someone starts loosing it a little bit in this chapter ;) I know you guys will be excited about that)

Ruth's POV

xxxxxxxxx

Toby is outside leaning against the door, Hoodie is standing next to E.J and Rue in the living room, Masky is just outside the side door smoking, Ash is trying to explain to Damien and Matt why we can't leave and basically everything that has happened.

Ben is standing against the wall with me. I haven't said anything, neither has he. I lean against his arm, his skin feels cold and almost... dead. It makes me uncomfortable. The feeling of icy water on my shoulders is one I've grown accustomed to, and one that doesn't bother me anymore. Besides, the water doesn't stay, I'll feel it and see it drip from his hair, but it never stays. It's kind of like an illusion. I look up to see Ash walking to Ben, pulling him towards him by the collar of his shirt with an aggravated look on his face, I stare at him surprised, and he pushes me a little. "Stay away from him, Ruth." He says, pushing me farther back. "Hey!" I say in defence taking a step back. Ben shoves Ash a little. "What's it to you, Craft?" He says. Ash grabs him by the collar again, getting into Ben's face. "Keep your fucking hands off her." He lets go of Ben, shoving him back a little in the process. This, obviously, got the attention of everyone in the room. "You all better stay far away from the girls, I swear to god. I won't hesitate beat you fucking senseless." He Says. Ever since home turned into hell, Ash hasn't been acting himself. I notice Jack look at Rue, then back at Ash before walking out the side door to where Masky is smoking.
Good.
I think to myself.
I don't like the way him and Rue have been acting together. Sure, I've been getting close with Ben, but E.J tried to kill Rue.

Savannah's POV

xxxxxxxxx

Ash has always been protective. He's always the responsible one, the one who is always serious. It's impossible to know what he's thinking, but out of all of us, I know him best, and I'm a little uncomfortable that he is acting so weird. He's never like that. He's never been like that. He was always so calm about everything, he hardly showed any emotion.

I'm still not sure on the whole plan to keep us away from danger, or even the reason why the Proxies are here. I want answers. This is obviously about us, and I deserve to know more.
I look over at Ash, who is leaning against the wall, glaring at Ben from across the room.

I'm going fucking insane.

"Why the fuck can't we leave?! Why can't we just leave town or something?! You can't keep us here like animals!" Ash grabs my arm, trying to calm me down. "It's not safe, you have to stay here." His voice is so calm, which enrages me more then I already was. I pull my arm away from him, shaking my head. "But they can find us! If you're really trying to keep us safe, let us leave!" At this point, I'm hysterical. "We're keeping you safe. You'll be safe if you stay here." Ash tries to reach out to me again, but I'm having none of it. Pushing him away, I turn and walk down the stairs, turning into the back hallway, going for the back door.
This is all a load of shit. We aren't any safer in here then we are out there.

I close the door behind me, walking around the front of the building. I plan on getting on one of the dirt bikes. I just need to get out of here, I just need to be somewhere other then that goddamn mansion. It's only been two days, and I already feel like I've been trapped there for weeks. It's not until now that I realise I'm sobbing hysterically. This situation is driving my sanity out of me. I turn the corner to the side of the house, headed for the dirt bikes leaning against the garden shed. Masky is still leaning against the outside wall, a cigarette in his hands and his mask shifted to the side. He sees me and straightens up, dropping his cigarette in the grass, and shifting his mask back on. "Hey! What the fuck are you doing?" He shouts as he starts walking towards me. I ignore him.

"What the fuck are you doing? Get the fuck back inside, you dumb cunt." His voice is growing louder and more aggressive the more I ignore him. I speed up. He's in front of me now, and I move to the side and speed up my walk even more, I'm basically jogging. I feel his hand on the back of my shoulder,
"Get your motherfucking ass back inside, cunt."

I push him off, breaking into a sprint towards the dirt bike. I can hear more voices now, Ash most likely being one of them. I grab the dirt bike, running forward as I hop onto it. I feel someone grabbing my arm, but I pay no mind. I look over my shoulder as I ride towards the gate to see who grabbed me. It was Masky, who had stumbled back a bit, and even from here I could here him cussing. I turn my attention back ahead of me, and to my dismay and annoyance, I realise that the gate is closed.
Fuck me.

I skid to a stop, hopping off and unlocking the gate with as much speed as I can muster. I don't look behind me, I'll see one or all of the coming after me. A push the gate with as much force as I can, and go to get back on the bike as it swings open.

Something white flashes in my peripheral, and a wave of panic over comes me. I hop back on the bike, turning it slightly, and speeding off through the gate.
Bang.

I'm on the ground, the left side of my face being pressed into the mud. Excruciating pain coursing through the left side of head, neck and shoulder. The person on top of me starts manically laughing, his bleach white hand pressing my face harder into the wet ground, mud and grass filling my mouth. I'm in so much pain, I can't even scream. I'm lifted up by my hair, And my face is met with a face that fuels nightmares.

My fear spiked so high, I could barely scream, let alone fight to get away while he dragged me back to the mansion.
